“Kelly took wonderful care of our cats. She came over at least twice a day to feed, administer meds, provide scritches and love. We received daily updates and pictures/videos. I would definitely contact them again to look after the cats and would recommend them to anyone who wants their pets to be safe and comfortable while they are away.”
About: Growing up, I always had dogs and cats. When I moved to Nanaimo for school, I missed my pets so much that I started volunteering with ElderDog Nanaimo in 2022. I joined Rover three years ago, and it’s been an amazing journey! Since then, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities: from confident, easygoing pups to those who need extra patience, trust, and understanding. I’ve loved getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I also completed my 208-hour criminology practicum with the BC SPCA, where I worked closely with dogs and cats, learning about their behaviour, backgrounds, and individual needs. I helped administer medication, provided daily care, and gave them the love and support they needed as they prepared to find their forever homes. Since June 2026, I am a VIU Criminology alumni! At the moment, I am away in Northwestern Ontario helping with wildfire operations, as a fire ranger. I look forward to resuming Rover bookings in October and caring for your pets again! My schedule is generally very flexible, allowing me to provide reliable care for your pets. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to book for October or later. I believe in building a genuine connection with every pet while keeping them on their normal routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and always follow your instructions carefully to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy.
“my experience with Maddie on this app was nothing but fantastic. my cat had been diagnosed well after my trip had originally been booked and I had reservations about leaving my pet to someone else so new into his medication routine. Madison was fantastic and accommodating to all of my requests and following the regimented dosing schedule for his medication. I would highly recommend anyone with a cat who has any concerns about pet sitters to contact Madison for their needs. She sent regular updates and kept us posted about any changes in the routine outside of the medication. I would absolutely book her services again.”
About: With decades of real-life experience caring for animals and homes, I provide professional, personalized and dependable pet care. My goal is to build lasting relationships with the families I serve while ensuring their pets feel safe, comfortable and loved. I'm a Certified Pet First Aid Provider, with additional training in animal wellness and extensive experience caring for puppies, adult and senior pets, including those requiring specialized attention. 📍 Where I Provide Care I offer professional pet care and house-sitting services on Vancouver Island, BC, throughout the Okotoks/South Calgary area and in communities along my travel route between British Columbia and Alberta. As I divide my time between these locations throughout the year, I welcome both one-time and recurring bookings whenever I'm in your area. 🐾 Personalized Care for Every Pet As a lifelong pet owner, I understand that every animal has a unique personality, from playful and social to shy, independent, anxious or sensitive. I take the time to understand your pet's individual needs, routines and personality, creating a calm, predictable environment where they feel safe and secure in their own familiar surroundings. My experience includes: 🐶 Puppies requiring patience, consistency and routine reinforcement. 🐕 Adult and senior pets with individual exercise, mobility or comfort needs. 💊 Pets requiring medication administration or additional physical assistance. 🤍 Anxious, fearful or reactive pets who benefit from a calm, patient approach and time to build trust. My observant nature allows me to recognize subtle changes in behaviour, appetite and energy. I'll keep you informed with regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. 🏡 Your Home Is in Caring Hands I understand the trust involved in leaving both your beloved pets and your home in someone else's care. I bring a reliable, respectful and detail-oriented approach to every booking, maintaining your pet's established routines while treating your home with the same consideration I would my own. For overnight stays, I travel fully equipped with my own portable bed, bedding, towels and cooler. This allows me to settle in comfortably while minimizing disruption and keeping your home tidy. 🌿 Additional Care Needs Every pet deserves care suited to their individual needs. My Puppy/Enhanced Care Rate also applies to pets requiring additional time, attention or specialized care, regardless of age. This may include: 🐾 Puppies requiring frequent potty breaks, training reinforcement or close supervision. 🐾 Senior pets needing additional mobility assistance, frequent outings or more involved care routines. 🐾 Special-needs pets requiring medication, mobility support or individualized attention. 🐾 Anxious, fearful or reactive pets requiring additional supervision and a gradual, patient approach. A pet's age alone does not determine whether enhanced care is necessary. We'll discuss their individual requirements before confirming your booking. Please note: Pets requiring continuous supervision or those who cannot comfortably be left alone may require an individualized care arrangement and rate. 🗓️ Extended Stays — 10+ Nights I welcome extended house and pet-sitting bookings and offer a preferred nightly rate for qualifying stays of 10 nights or longer. Please note the following conditions: The extended-stay rate applies to regular overnight care only. Holiday dates and bookings requiring enhanced or specialized care are excluded from the discounted rate. Additional-pet charges remain at their regular rates. All extended bookings are subject to availability and a discussion of your pets' individual care requirements. 🐾 🫶 My Commitment to You As a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Certified Natural Supplement Advisor, Energy Therapist and Certified Pet First Aid Provider, with ongoing education in animal wellness, I bring a unique combination of professional knowledge, practical experience and compassionate, heart-led care. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your furry family members are receiving dependable, attentive care and being treated as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!!! As someone who is location-independent and runs a remote/mobile Wholistic Wellness business. I have the flexibility to travel and spend meaningful time with animals in their home. I create a calm, safe environment by following your pet’s routine, offering attentive care and helping them feel secure, settled and supported in your home.
About: I have tons of experience taking care of all sorts of animals. From reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans, and critters working at the science centre to cats and dogs. I have experience dealing with animals with special medical needs too. My schedule is wide open, I am available any time of the week with enough notice. I want to be able to provide the best care possible to your critters. For boarding pets I have a fully fenced in backyard for boarding dogs. I would not be able to board cats unfortunately. They would be supervised the entire time and not left alone. For visits I would do a pre-visit checkin before the scheduled date just to clear up any details about your pet.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
