“Kari was very friendly, responsive, and caring. She updated me frequently with pics and videos of my pup while in her care.”

“I felt completely at ease leaving our new pups with Jessica. They got loads of care & attention and walks. It was our new puppy’s first weekend away and I was so glad for him to have such a positive experience. I’m sure he will be looking forward to going back!”

“Erika was AWESOME!! My dog Stewart enjoyed his stay there. She took him on daily walks with her other dogs...lots of playtime and exercise! Erika kept me up to date on how Stewart was doing and provided a safe and quiet spot for him to rest and sleep. I highly recommend Erika and will definitely book again in the future!!”

“Mia was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our little Pomeranian and treated him like one of her own. She kept us updated every day with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pup had a great time in her yard, made friends with her cat, and quickly felt comfortable in her home. Mia even went the extra mile by preparing yams to accommodate his diet, which we really appreciated. She was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and easy to work with throughout the entire stay. We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter and would highly recommend Mia to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their pet.”

“Leigh-Ann was so great! Leading up to the stay in Leigh-Ann’s home we were a bit nervous about leaving our little 7 month old dachshund on her first overnight stay without us, but we needn’t have been - we had a great experience, Leigh-Ann made the initial meetup seemless and sent updates throughout their 4 days together so we were able to relax knowing she was in good hands!!”

“Nicolle was great with my dog, Vito. He’s a very playful, and energetic dog. But Nicolle handled him very well. He stayed with her for 3 days, and Nicolle kept me updated and sent pictures through out the stay. Will definitely call again in the future.”

“Bowie had a great stay with Erin & Michael. They were flexible with timing, great with communication and kept us updated with plenty of pics.”

“Quinn was a great dogsitter. She communicated easily and often and assured me, especially in the first day or two, that my dog was doing great. I would not hesitate to hire Quinn again to take care of my dog.”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of patience, compassion, and real-life experience I bring, especially with dogs who need a little extra understanding. I’ve cared for two rescue dogs with very different and challenging backgrounds, which has shaped how I approach every animal I look after. One of my dogs I found on the streets of the Philippines, where I nursed her back to health and helped her regain strength and trust. The other I adopted from Heart Hope and Rescue, and she came to me with severe fear due to past abuse. Through consistent care, gentle handling, and a lot of love, I’ve helped her grow into a confident, happy dog who can now be around men comfortably. Today, she’s incredibly affectionate and truly thrives. Because of these experiences, I’m especially skilled with nervous, shy, or rescue dogs who may need extra patience and reassurance. I understand how to read body language, build trust at their pace, and create a calm, safe environment. I’m also comfortable reinforcing basic training, maintaining routines, and giving dogs the attention and care they need to feel secure and happy. Above all, I genuinely love animals and treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and completely loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and because I work part-time, I have plenty of flexibility to give your dog the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m available for both weekday and weekend boarding, and I structure my days to make sure pets are never left alone for long periods. In the mornings, I start the day with walks, feeding, and some playtime to help your dog burn off energy and feel settled. Throughout the day, I incorporate regular potty breaks, enrichment activities, and lots of one-on-one attention whether that’s play, training reinforcement, or just relaxing together. Because I’m home often, your dog will have consistent companionship and supervision. I also adapt my routine to match your dog’s specific needs. For high-energy dogs, I make sure they get plenty of exercise and stimulation, while more anxious or senior dogs get a calm, quiet environment with gentle care and extra comfort. Evenings are more relaxed, with another walk, dinner, and wind-down time filled with cuddles and companionship. Overall, I prioritize creating a safe, structured, and loving environment so your dog feels at home and well cared for every day they’re with me. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I prioritize safety by maintaining a clean, secure environment, closely supervising pets, and following any specific routines, dietary requirements, or medical instructions provided by the owner. Building trust is central to my approach, so I take time to understand each pet’s personality, comfort levels, and preferences, ensuring they feel calm and cared for. I also respect clients’ homes by keeping spaces tidy and communicating regularly with updates, so owners feel confident and reassured while they are away.

“Professional, knowledgeable, and quality care for our dog! This isn't your average dog boarding- Roberta provided a loving and safe environment for my large dog (90 lbs), in her home. She requested key info on my dog's feeding, health and behaviour, and provided updates and pics almost every day during our dog's boarding. So grateful our dog was not lonely and so well looked after!”

“Sydney was great. She was punctual for meet and greet and even brought our dog to our house. She was really good about keeping us updated with texts and photos while we were traveling.”

Tom B.

“Kesi took wonderful care of our puppy when other care fell through last minute. I appreciated her checking in, asking questions where appropriate, and sending photo updates. Felt Tilly was safe and well cared for”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with golden retrievers, and I’ve been dog-sitting in Nelson for over two years. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, and easygoing couch companions, and I enjoy adapting to whatever pace your pup prefers. I love taking dogs out on Nelson’s beautiful trails for fresh air and adventure. Whether your dog wants to sniff every tree or prefers a more relaxed stroll, I’m all about making their time with me tail-waggingly fun! With a flexible work schedule, I’m able to accommodate a wide range of routines, visits, and energy levels. I’m all about making sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away—because every pup deserves to have a good time, even if their human is off doing human things. I am currently working a casual schedule. I am available for morning, afternoon and evening walks! I am available for pet sitting during the week or weekend! I have my own suite that has access to a grassy area out front. I am a few minutes walk to the graveyard trails. Dogs that stay with me will be taken on morning walk, mid afternoon walk and a longer nature walk in the early evenings!
