Pet Sitting Lake Country

“I would definitely recommend Lisa. She took amazing care of my two cats, Noodle and Selena. Noodle is normally very shy around new people, but he opened up to her right away, which says a lot! Selena can be quite particular and needs extra attention to feel comfortable, and Lisa was incredibly patient and spent lots of time making sure she felt safe and happy. It was a relief to know they were both in caring hands. Lisa understood my cats different personalities and cared for them accordingly. Thank you Lisa!”

About: I have grown up my whole life with animals. I currently have four dogs and four cats at home. I truly believe pets add so much love to the household. my hours are very flexible and change everyday. I work shifts at a local restaurant in oyama and also at mission hill winery. I’m usually free in the mornings and afternoons/nights vary. I cannot bring pets into my apartment, but will do whatever is needed at a clients home:) obviously each home is different and i will cater to needs, for example taking the dogs for a walk if there is no yard or constantly keeping an eye on the pet if they like to get into things.

About: Let me give you peace of mind while you are separated from a very important member of the family. I have a lifetime of experience with many animals including exotics. Whether your pet is furry, scaly, or lives in water, I will give everything I have to make sure they are well taken care of. Your rules and boundaries are of the utmost importance and you can count on me to follow through making sure your pet has consistency in your absence. Nutrition and exercise are top priorities but just as important is your pet's emotional well-being. It is hard on everyone to be a part and it is my responsibility to help your loved one through the anxiety and fear that can come from separation. When you return from being away, you will be greeted with a healthy happy animal ready to spend quality time with you. I currently work from home on my own schedule and terms. This makes it easy for me to take care of your pet anytime during the day. Your rules, guidelines and wishes are my top priority. I will follow your requests as I strongly believe consistency creates a happy well behaved pet.

“Rhea was an incredible sitter for our cats! We had an emergency with one of the cats while we were away and I felt so calm and secure knowing she would be able to handle it for us while we were gone. I can’t reccomend her enough!”

“Allie was punctual, caring, and professional. She gave a lot of attention to our dog and followed instructions for our picky eater, she is attentive and we would use her again.”

About: I have experience caring for both senior dogs and puppies. My most notable experience was walking Duke, a young golden retriever puppy, daily for a full year. During that time, I helped leash train him, worked on good walking habits, and made sure he got plenty of physical and mental stimulation. I love being outdoors and believe fresh air and enrichment are so important for pets. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I do have three rescue cats, one of whom is special needs with only one eye. This has given me firsthand experience with attentive, compassionate care and understanding animals with unique needs. I am currently an engineering student at university, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m often able to stop by between classes or on days when I don’t have classes at all. I’m usually finished with school early most days, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. Spending time outside with pets is something I really enjoy! it’s a great way to decompress and reset while giving animals the attention and exercise they need. I’ve had experience with both drop-in care and overnight stays in a pet owner’s home. For drop-in visits, I focus on maintaining the pet’s routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship—while the owner is away. I’ve also stayed in clients’ homes for the full duration of their trips, ensuring their pets receive consistent care and familiarity. I enjoy both options and am happy to tailor my services to the owner’s preferences and their pet’s routine.

“Kirstin did a great job! Chika and Phoebe really liked her. I was pleased that she followed all my detailed instructions with enthusiasm. When I came home the dogs were calm and relaxed.”

About: I have a lifetime of experience working with all sorts of dogs, including puppies, elderly dogs and dogs requiring special care and/or medications. I am also experienced in dog training and grooming. I’m currently a student meaning I spend most of my time at home. Doing online classes can make it difficult to have typical a 9-5 job, being one of the reasons I started dog walking and sitting. As well as it being a passion I’ve had since a very early age. I have a home with a fenced in open space for your fur-babies. As well as many hiking trails located nearby for your pups to explore! Potty breaks every two hours as well as 2-4 walks a day.

“Cassie manages both my dogs so well. The Dutch Shepherd plus the new puppy. Took them both on a nice long walk down to the beach! Definitely recommend Cassie for all your doggie care!”

About: I've been pet sitting for 21 years and have spent my life caring for animals of all kinds. Over the years, I've worked as a pet sitter, dog walker, kennel assistant, veterinary assistant, and now working toward a profession of dog training, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. What sets me apart is that I don't simply exercise dogs - I help them build better habits. Every walk is a training opportunity, with a focus on calm behaviour, loose leash walking, engagement, impulse control, and good manners, all tailored to your dog's individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, reactive or anxious dogs, high-energy breeds, and pets requiring medication or special care. Whether your dog needs an adventure, extra patience, or a consistent routine while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own while providing plenty of updates and photos for your peace of mind. I'm currently building my dog training business full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my attention to every pet in my care. I'm available for weekday walks, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, and overnight care. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, every dog receives plenty of individual attention, exercise, and enrichment. My goal is quality care - not rushing from appointment to appointment. Your pet's safety and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each dog's personality, routines, and comfort level before every booking. I use secure equipment, practice safe handling, and never introduce unfamiliar dogs unless requested by the owner. For boarding, dogs become part of my daily routine with structured walks, rest periods, enrichment activities, and lots of one-on-one attention. I maintain a calm environment that helps dogs feel relaxed and secure while you're away. You'll also receive regular photo updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Kendra is just lovely. Super responsive, professional and great with Tucker. Thanks so much.”

“Georgia was great with my cats! She was able to administer an inhaler for my senior and make sure she only had access to her special vet food. My kitten was scared at first, but quickly got attached to her. Georgia was also great with helping water plants and take garbage out while I was travelling for work. She is very responsible and I felt reassured knowing she was here to help. I highly recommend her!”

About: My personalized approach to every pup’s unique needs sets me apart. I’m experienced in training playful puppies and providing attentive care for senior dogs with mobility challenges. Beyond basic sitting and walking, I incorporate fun, mentally stimulating activities and lots of love, ensuring your dog feels happy and comfortable. Whether reinforcing good behavior or making extra accommodations for older pets, I tailor my services to suit each dog’s personality and lifestyle. With me, your furry friend is in compassionate and capable hands! As a student working mostly online, I have the flexibility to be home often, which means I can provide your pet with consistent attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday play session, or evening cuddles, I can easily accommodate your pet’s needs while balancing my studies. This setup lets me ensure your furry friend feels comfortable and well cared for, even on busy days. I create a calm and safe environment in my home tailored to each pet’s needs. I provide plenty of space for play, rest, and exploration and structured routines for feeding, walking, and enrichment activities. I prioritize comfort and keep the home pet-proofed to ensure their safety. When caring for pets in a client's home, I maintain their established routines and preferences, ensuring consistency and minimizing stress. I’m attentive to special instructions regarding feeding, medication, or exercise. I aim to provide a smooth and stress-free experience for both pets and owners, whether home or away.

About: I love dogs big or small. I'll walk them all. I am passionate about all animals and will take care of, and play with, your pooch. I have always had dogs in my life. Farm dogs, mostly indoor dogs, big, small, energetic, senior. I go for daily, long walks with our current dog and would love some companions to come along! I am super flexible and can care for your pet weekdays during the morning, afternoon, or evening, and even have some availability during the weekends. I have a fenced backyard and a sweet red heeler x mini aussie shep who would love to play! I am very compassionate with animals and put a lot of care and attention into their well being.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, cats, I love reptiles and anything breathing and living. Some would say I’m an animal whisperer. But I’m also a baby whisperer. Your pet will be very safe with me. I work Monday- Thursday with Friday-Sunday off. I’m off quite early (around 130pm) on Tuesdays and don’t work until 12pm on Wednesdays. Dropping in or taking your pet out to pee or for walks is easily doable. My availability can vary depending on your needs, so feel free to contact me for details. For overnight stays, my personal pet will be kept at my home away from your animal so there is no interference I’m very very careful when it comes to animals as I’ve had plenty of my own. Rest assured you’d be in extremely trusting hands. I’d care for your baby just as my own.

About: **PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING** Hi there! My name is Melissa. I have been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. Some people call me the dog whisperer but I'm not here to brag ;) A little About Me… My dog Daisy is the love of my life so I completely understand how scary it can be leaving your precious fur babies with a stranger. My hope is to make sure that both dogs and owners are comfortable and happy with allowing me to take care of their pets while they are busy or away. Which is why I always meet pet parents before booking with me. I have owned and cared for puppies, adult and senior dogs. I treat all dogs as if they were my own. I promise, I will love and care for your pet with patience and compassion. I can walk dogs and check in on pets multiple times a day. I’m a student but doing all my schooling online so my schedule is very flexible. I care for pets in the same way I would care for my own and based on the instructions given by the owner. It is pet specific.

About: I've always had a deep care for animals, and have never met a pet that I didn't love (and that didn't love me)! I have lots of experience (unfortunately) with administering medications and caring for my own terminally ill rescue pets over the years. I am between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is wide open! I love to explore the valley, so I'm consistently between Westbank and Enderby scoping out new hiking spots. I will stay with your pet for as little or as much time as you'd like! I am a helicopter parent to my own pets, so I have no issue following whatever requests you have that might seem crazy to others.

About: I am a university student at UBCO living at home with my family and 2 dogs. This gives me the unique flexibility to stay overnight and care for pets on short notice. I have had dogs my whole life, and currently have a senior rescue, and a puppy at home. This gives me the experience I need to care for all kinds of dogs, well trained, not yet trained, puppies, seniors, rescues, purebreds etc. I have been dog and cat sitting for family friends several times a year for over 3 years since high school. I am a very responsible person, extremely reliable, and communicate well. I love the outdoors and going for walks, as well as lazy days at home. I have a very flexible school and work schedule. I am a student at UBCO and have several 3-4 hour gaps in my day which I can come home and spend time with the pets. I am done my classes around dinner time, and can come straight home for the evening. On the weekends, I am a server at a restaurant in town and generally only work 4-6 hour shifts. This means I am around for the majority of the day. I have been dog walking for many years as I have had dogs my whole life. With clients, I try and keep the pet’s routine as similar as possible to their owner’s. I like to be around as much as possible and keep the pets as comfortable as they can be while their owner is away.

“Stephanie and her partner were so sweet! I love that they took extra care with Balto, and had lots of fun with him, and always stayed in communication. Would work with them again!”
