“Amanda has been a lifesaver that allowed us to attend a few afternoon and evening events that we wouldn't be able to otherwise. She was very timely and left excellent notes and feedback on our pet's experience and care. We would definitely have Amanda over again in the future!”
“Laura is professional and reliable. She’s very great with my 6 month old puppy and is a great communicator. I hesitate writing a great review as I don’t want everyone scooping her up from me 😅”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for every dog I meet. I've always been a huge dog lover, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it's going for walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. I have an amazing backyard for them to play as well as near by parks to take them on walks.
About: Sweet and personable which each dog.I have experience taking care of dogs since a young age and have plenty of time to give your best friend the most attention possible! Right now i’m fully free and open to have your pet be my #1 priority as long as I have enough of a heads up notice! I am always very close and personable with each animal I come across, I love building bonds with plenty of different animals and will care for your pet like they’re one of my own.
“Paige has been great with Dave! He is always pooped at the end of his walks and she send great updates through photos. Paige has been really flexible with scheduling and reliable, which has been great! Could recommend more.”
About: I love going for walks and training my second rottweiler, Brembo! I love the breed as they are excellent family dogs, great snugglers, and match my energy levels. I love big dogs but I'm also no stranger to small and medium pups! My family has had small dogs for the past 20 years, who I have cared for during my time living with them, and my previous roommates had two medium dogs who I loved to go for walks with. I have previously house and dog sat for up to 5 weeks at a time. I am active and caring, and I love walking and running, especially with a buddy! In addition to walking and hiking with Brembo, I have taken my roommates' dogs on hikes and big runs, and love having a pup to join me while getting active. I love to do training while we are walking, such as sitting while waiting to cross the street or practicing stay and come. I am looking to pick up other dogs while walking or hiking with Brembo, or stop in for short visits (without my dog) to play, give potty breaks, and provide meals! I also work from home full time during the week, so I'm happy to host your pup for the day and take them out for a walk or potty break at least every 2 hours. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out! I work from home full time - I have my own digital marketing business and I set my own hours. I am available most days between 9-5 and would love to take your dog out for activity, come for a short visit, or host them at my place! I leash dogs before we go outside to ensure they are by my side and so that we can easily get back indoors. I take dogs for walks from your place, or drive with them in the back of my SUV if we are going to a hike.
About: Calm handling for shy or high-energy dogs! 🐾 I've taken care of dogs on and off since I was just a kid. I am fear-free certified, and hold a certificate for dog CPR/ first aid. I worked with Rain City dogs in Vancouver and provided professional dog walking and house sitting. I have volunteered with the SPCA and Paws it Forward. Give my pup a break and let me annoy yours with love instead:) I work in the film industry and often have some time in between projects and love to take care of animals in my free time. I have a yard at home that is fenced. If your place has no fence, i’ll either keep them on leash or watch very very carefully.
About: I currently own a very sweet and gentle Doberman, he is the third dog I’ve trained over the last 4 years, I have owned him for the last year, he’s great with other dogs! I work from home and create my own schedule so my daily routine is very flexible, I can make any time work any day of the week My apartment is fully enclosed and safe, I live downtown and like to take the dogs for walks and to the fully gated dog park near by
About: I bring hands-on experience with puppy and kitten development, training, reactivity management, socialization, agility training and pets medical, dietary and behavioural needs. I’m observant, patient and comfortable adapting care to each animal’s temperament and routine. I have owned and cared for dogs from Boston terriers to Pitbull Sharpeis, and have managed through every obstacle possible with two sassy rescue cats, as well as provided pet sitting and boarding in my network, many times through the years. Most recently I provided daily walks, drop ins and training sessions to my neighbour and his Husky pup for 3mo earlier this year. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I’m currently flexible and available for house sitting, drop-ins and walks. I’m comfortable building my day around a pet’s established feeding, exercise, training and care routine. I prioritize a calm, clean and secure environment, following your instructions and keeping pets’ routines as consistent as possible. I use attentive supervision, clear boundaries and positive reinforcement, while treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I am a calm and quiet person, and I believe pets appreciate me because I understand the importance of giving them the time and space they need to adjust when I am in their space while their family is away. Growing up, I loved helping my family take care of their dogs. I have helped groom, train, feed, and walk their dogs. But I have always had a soft spot for cats and so the first pet of my own is a dog-like cat. I've pet-sat for my friends while they went on longer trips. I have taken care of small to medium sized dogs. I've also worked at a cat cafe, caring for as many as 20 cats at one time. Some of my responsibilities included cleaning, feeding, playing, and observing the cats to ensure they were living their best lives at the cafe before finding their forever homes. My pet is a 2 year old large breed cat whom I adore. He understands basic commands like sit, up, lay down, jump, give paw, spin, roll over, kiss, hug etc. Let me know what your pet's usual routine looks like and what you're looking for and we can go from there! For house sitting: Standard overnight sitting includes 1-2 daily check-ins and staying overnight. Custom schedules or higher-needs care can be accommodated at an adjusted rate. Safety and comfort are my top priority, and that starts with understanding your pet’s unique personality. If you have any notes or a care guide on their routine, please share them with me. I have a particular cat myself, so I’m very experienced with 'fussy' pets. I know that following their exact preferences isn't just about comfort—it’s about making sure they feel secure while you're away.
About: I grew up with pets in my home and I have a great deal of experience dog sitting and dog walking for friends & family. I am currently working part-time hours for the city, so I am looking to fill my afternoons and evenings with something I enjoy. I am available from 2:30 pm-6:30 pm (Monday-Friday). However, I would be open to adjusting my availability depending on the request. I am a trustworthy, organized and reliable person. I hold a current 2026 Police Information Check. I am well versed in safety, trust, and security as I recently graduated with a MA in Criminology.
About: I grew up with 8 German Shepherds, 3 cats, and 1 Poodle! I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’m calm, patient, and great with shy or anxious dogs. I’m able to read dog body language and respect their boundaries. I believe in safety first mindset on walks and in the home, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, not just watching them. I’m currently working part-time and my job is close to home, so I can walk over during my breaks for check-ins. I attend school full time, with half of my classes online, which means I’m home for majority of the day and able to give pets regular attention and care! I follow a clear schedule for walks, meals, and play-time. On-time care everyday. I care for pets by maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or a clients home. I make sure they are fed on schedule, get regular walks, and have plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and safety, and I always respect house rules and special instructions. I also provide regular updates with photos so pet parents feel at ease while they’re away.
About: I grew up around dogs and over the years have been a reliable dog-sitter/walker for friends and family. I have fostered dogs and was a foster-fail (meaning we adopted) with my dog Juno who is featured in most of my pictures. I have learned so many skills from fostering and raising Juno. I keep Juno quite structured in her day to day because she thrives off that being a working breed, with lots of down time and snuggles. I am respectful of how each owner operates and will follow instructions diligently. I recently moved to Kelowna from Ontario for school. I am a social worker back home and currently doing my MSW at UBCO. My schedule is quite flexible, I’m available Friday-Tuesday anytime and Wednesdays and Thursdays I only have morning availability. I currently do not have any pets in my home, I am doing long distance from both my partner and my dog Juno. When I am interacting with pets in my home or their home I am respectful of their space and needs, and provide structure as needed.
About: I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs, and have grown up around them. I’m very close with my family dog, Kaia, a 14 year old bichon Shih Tzu. I have many years of hands on experience caring for her, including attending puppy training classes together, she has taught me patience, kindness, and how important it is to make a dog feel loved safe and comfortable. I’m caring, and responsible and genuinely enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention. I hope to have a dog of my own one day so caring for other people’s pets is something I truly enjoy and take great pride in. Very available weekends, afternoons, and evenings. Available some days during the week depending on my work schedule. Happy to take your pet for long or short walks or even overnight. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routines, including walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I’m respectful of each pet’s personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions from their owner. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, my goal is for them to feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

Thank you Andrea for walking Nala last minute! Nala came back very happy and went to sleep right away, meaning she got lots of exercise and sniff breaks. Andrea walked Nala for longer than the time we booked, to give her some extra sniff time. We would recommend booking her. She is very friendly and personable.
Amanda has been a lifesaver that allowed us to attend a few afternoon and evening events that we wouldn't be able to otherwise. She was very timely and left excellent notes and feedback on our pet's experience and care. We would definitely have Amanda over again in the future!
Emily was so awesome with our pup! She walked him and kept him company while we were out of town, and went totally above and beyond. She is a great communicator and gave us lots of updates. He’s a big boy with a somewhat quirky disposition but she totally understood him.
