Pet Sitting in Invermere

About: Growing up I had a family dog that instilled the value of loyalty and altruism in me. Being able to care and nurture a dog is one of the greatest joys on earth! I am an active person who is always on the move, allow me provide your dog a joyful retreat! I work a rotating shift schedule, so my weekdays are open to assist you with your dog's care needs. My availability will always be accurate. My home is located in a safe and very walkable neighbourhood that has a reduced speed limit of 15km/hr. As I do not have any animals of my own, your dog will be the only animal in my home and will have my full attention!

About: I've had animals since I could walk. Through childhood I had rabbits, budgie birds, a cat, and always had puppies and/or dogs. I have extensive hands on experience caring for dogs of many sizes, breeds and energy levels. I raised my own German Shepherd puppy from 8 weeks old through adulthood and into her senior years, giving me a strong foundation in puppy training, large-breed exercise and mental stimulation needs, structured routine, and senior dog care. I've also fostered puppies for the last 3 years, gaining experience with early socialization, basic training, potty routines, and helping dogs adjust to new environments. For the last 15+ years, I've provided dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting for community members, friends and family. I'm comfortable with both high-energy dogs and smaller companion dogs, and I feel strongly about the importance to tailor care based on each individual dog. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering various medication, grooming, reinforcing good leash manners, maintaining consistent schedule, and providing attentive in-home care. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and adapting care based on dogs age/needs. They're all so quirky, with their own needs, preferences, and moods! And that's my favorite part :) Having had my own animals, and having been on the other side of looking for a trusted, reliable sitter, I understand how big of a trust it requires and I empathize with you wanting the very best for your pet. I'm genuinely so looking forward to meeting and spending time with your special companion! I work Monday to Friday with a mix of in office and remote days. This allows me to offer reliable morning and evening care on week days, drop ins on select days, and flexible availability on weekends. When house sitting, I stay overnight and provide consistent care before and after work, with the added bonus of daytime availability on remote workdays. In more detail - pet care fits naturally in my routine. I enjoy being outside and exploring which makes daily walks something I genuinely look forward to - especially with a buddy! Im also happy to stay in and cook or craft, giving space for providing calm and attentive companionship to the more low key, relaxed fluffs. Weekends are free game for whatever your pet is up for! As a previous homeowner and longtime pet owner, I understand how important it is to trust somebody to take proper care of your home and to know your pet is being properly cared for. I assure you I will treat your home with care, respect privacy, and will have a small footprint. I will keep things clean and leave it as I found it. I follow all care instructions closely (feeding schedules, medication, routine, and household guidelines. I'm mindful of home quirks like doors, gates, locks, lights and always do a safety check before coming and going. I value the importance of keeping pets in their home turf, their comfortable environment to reduce stress, maintain routines and help them feel safe and cared for while you're away. Communication is important to me, Im very happy to provide regular updates and photos and will always reach out immediately if anything seems out of the ordinary. I'm happy to follow your preferences on frequency of update. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet and home is in safe, reliable hands.

About: I have taken care of kittens and puppies days after being born as well as older animals and everything in between. I have been fostering kittens since I was ten with the City of Calgary animal services, and I have been volunteering with “GALS” animal rescue in the summer when I am home from uni. They are an organization that rescues animals who have been abandoned, at large, or surrendered and insure they get a loving forever home. We do rehabilitation with animals who have been abused or injured and socialize all animals with other dogs and cats to insure they are a perfect fit in their new homes. I also have 2 golden retrievers who are both 2 years as well as a tuxedo cat who is 8, they were all adopted from Animal Services for the City of Calgary. I am very passionate about animal care and love what I do. This summer I drove me and my sister to Hanna, Alberta to meet with a woman from La Ronge, Saskatchewan to rescue 21 puppies and dogs from the wild fires, it was a difficult game of Tetris but we managed to get them all in. We then took them to Invermere, BC where GALS is located and they have all found their forever homes. I love being around animals and would love to help you and your fur baby. I am a university student at uleth and am away from home. I am used to constantly being surrounded by animals and would love to be able to hangout and take care of your animals to allow me to be around animals again. I am available after 2 on Monday through Thursday, and anytime on the other days. Because I am away from home I am staying on campus so I am unable to board dogs or cats over night and I don’t have a yard but do go for regular walks. I have a lot of experience with safety for animals because of my volunteer experience and would love to take your animals on walks or do house visits to hangout with your pets there.

About: I have taken care of my own dog who passed away at 16 years young. I am comfortable to meet the attention of puppies, as well as understand the needs and care of older dogs. I have always taken care of friends dogs, and very excitedly began pet sitting in 2023 when I lived in Australia (different app, so I am now creating an account in Canada). I am now home in Canada, and excited to continue my pet sitting journey :) I currently work in Invermere but am happy to to discuss how my schedule will look like around dog sits. I am a active person and am outside on a walk, trail run, or bike ride nearly every day. This is great news for those with active pets! I have always looked after pets in my apartment, which means I am very accomodating to walks and bathroom breaks. For dogs I can be flexbile for 3, 5 or however many outings the owner recommends.

About: I have grown up around dogs and currently have a 5 year old mixed breed rescue from Romania who I adopted at 5 months old. I am used to a talkative and active dog who likes multiple walks a day and lots of play time. I love finding new walks and giving him time to explore and enjoy. I have looked after friend and family dogs regularly for short and overnight stays. I'm currently working part time, so plenty of time to play/walk your dogs and pups. I am available to house sit, walk and drop in any day of the week (weekdays pm) I will always try to create a safe environment, follow instructions diligently, and provide lots of playtime and affection. I am available for dog walking, drop ins and overnight stays in your home. I can also provide daily photo/video updates.

“Sophie took great care of our senior cat who requires medication. It can sometimes be hard to trust someone new with your pet, but she was super communicative and I felt confident going on our trip and knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely book again!”
