About: Cats are amazing companions! They're low-maintenance, affectionate, and full of personality. With their playful antics and cuddly nature, they bring joy and comfort to many homes. Whether they're lounging in the sun or chasing a toy, cats know how to live life to the fullest! 🐱💕 Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I allocate specific times for feeding, walking, playtime, and administering medication (if needed). I also make time for cuddles and relaxation, ensuring each pet feels loved and attended to. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate pets' unique needs and rhythms, providing a sense of security and comfort. Whether it's a mid-day check-in or an overnight stay, I'm committed to providing top-notch care and attention. I care for pets in client's homes with utmost attention to safety, trust, and environment. Here's how: - *Safety First*: I conduct a thorough risk assessment of the environment, removing any hazards or toxic substances. I ensure gates are secure, and windows are closed to prevent escape or injury. - *Comfort Zone*: I create a cozy and comfortable space for pets, complete with familiar bedding, toys, and treats. I maintain a clean and hygienic environment, adhering to strict sanitation standards. - *Trust Building*: I take time to build trust with each pet, learning their habits, likes, and dislikes. I provide gentle handling, calm interactions, and plenty of affection. - *Client Communication*: I keep clients informed about their pet's activities, appetite, and any issues that may arise. I also welcome feedback and requests, ensuring their pet receives the best care possible. - *Emergency Preparedness*: I have a emergency plan in place, including a list of contacts, a first-aid kit, and a backup power source (if needed). By following these guidelines, I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets in my care.

About: I have naturally by word-of-mouth become an animal sitter/house sitter in my sweet community of Golden, BC! It fills my heart with joy and I love meeting people & their beautiful pets! Cats, dogs, lizards, chickens! I am only working the weekend evenings during Spring/Summer 2026 as well as Monday & Tuesday mornings- so I have plenty of time for loving your animals, my partner will also be around. It is such a wonderful thing to be able to exercise and meet such loving animals all at once :) I am open to all sorts of care & instructions. I have worked with a variety of care requirements. It is all about what you are comfortable with.

About: We had a familydog as a kid. When I met my husband I also got to be part of his dog's life, we were lucky enough to have her until she was almost 17. I am working on training my first search dog. We brought home a 2nd dog in April, a puppy from Little Mittens Animal Rescue. We also have a very dog-tolerant cat from Little Mittens. I work full time, but seasonally. I'm looking to see how this works and how I enjoy it and am fitting it into my schedule on days off, for now. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dog runs set up so that my dogs are safe when I am not home. I have my vehicles set up with dog crates so tgat animals are contained and safe while travelling with me. I will talk to you and learn about your pet and their needs so that I can give your pet the beat care.

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. I’m passionate about everything dog related ; their behaviour, how they think and act, playing with them, walking them. I own a Border Collie, Gypsie and a Syberian Husky, Mango. I’ve been a dog sledding guide for the past 6 years. I’ve got two dogs of my own, hence why I’m the perfect fit to take great care of your furry friend and all of its needs! Experienced with all kinds of dogs, seniors, special need, high energy, couch potatoes. I can also work with other animals if needed ! I am also an avid wildlife photographer and can do animal portraits and action shots if desired, at a very fair price! Hope to see you soon! I will gladly take care of pets at mine or your residence! I have a very big yard so plenty of room for your furry friend to exercise and play!

“Raye rocks. Timely and informative communication. Above and beyond dog walking. Longer walks. Thanks. 🙏🏼”

About: I grew up on a ranch and have been around animals my whole life. I absolutely adore all animals, but especially dogs and cats, and love to get in my cuddles and animal lovin’ in whenever I can! I have experience with all different types of animals, and will love, care and respect all pets as if they were my very own. I love all breeds of dogs, I do not discriminate against any particular breed, I just ask that if there is anything I should know about your pet, to know ahead of time so there are no surprises. I have 2 cats and a King German Shepherd puppy of my own :) Sirah, Tikka and Thor! I am a full time server, so my schedule does vary day to day- however I do know it about 2 weeks in advance and am able to work around it fairly easily. I have a huge fenced yard, which is great for playing and zoomies. In your home, I will accommodate to what you have to offer and what your fur baby is used to.

About: I am a dog lover who also loves travel therefore don’t currently have one. Looking forward to meet yours! I am very active, affectionate and responsible. I have owned 2 dogs (Germand Sheperd and Golden Retriever/ Aussie Shep) , grew up looking after my family friend’s dogs and have lived with many other dogs. Happy to play, pet, feed, cuddle, walk, run and anything else that would make your furry friend happy! Funny fact; I sometimes go to the dog park just to hang out with dogs... I mostly have experience with medium/bigger sizes dogs but I have also lived with small dogs and cats. I am so excited to live in such a dog friendly place and can’t wait to meet more dogs :) I am currently off work therefore I will have plenty of time to spend with your dog and to go on adventures whether it be walking, running or the dog park I will follow whatever protocols you have in place in order to ensure your pet’s happiness and safety. Just let me know your preferences :)

About: Having spent my whole life around dogs, from German Shepherds to Yorkshire Terriers, Working dogs to pets I feel I have a great understanding of how to interact with a vast variety of breeds, even the particularly headstrong ones! Working previously in an environment that required me to learn a lot about nutrition, training, general health and collar and harness fitting I feel I was able to develop skills in pet management and learn how to create and nurture bonds with new pet friends. Getting to know pet owners that were brand new to the life that having a dog allows right through to those that had been doing it for years and just wanted a little advice was also super beneficial in learning how to adapt different methods that would work for both owner and pet to create the happiest of environments. With regards to my own experience in pet care I have learnt how to administer medication for diabetes and other ailments whether that be through injectable’s or oral medication and am comfortable in ensuring this is done correctly and on time. Working late afternoon shift work, I have the majority of my mornings free along with a couple of set days and would love to spend this time engaging with different animals and providing a service for anyone who might need it! I am very comfortable around both small and large breeds of dog and am happy to follow instructions on how you would best like them to be cared for within your home whether that be specific restrictions around the home or set meal/ medication times.
