Cat Sitting in Nelson

“Tammy was so sweet and amazing with our Saint Bernard while we were away! He needs some extra care with medication and she kept him right on schedule and checked in with us with updates and photos. Thanks for being so awesome Tammy, we appreciate your care for Saifu while we were away so much!”

“Highly recommended Chelsea! Very kind, friendly, and accommodating!”

“Amy watched our two kitties and our home for 2 weeks over the Christmas holiday while we were out of town. Our cats both loved her, she send videos and photos everyday keeping us updated which made us feel so happy. The cats were always curled up cuddling with her- they don’t just warm up to everyone! Our home was very clean when we got home. Amy is responsive, and responsible and we will definitely be hiring her again in the future. Thank you, Amy!”

“Zara house sat and looked after our cat for a long weekend. The house was exactly as we left it when we returned. I would choose Zara again to house/cat sit.”

About: Pets are valued family members and I believe it is important to pick the right person to care for your dog or cat while away. Through pet sitting on Rover, I have gained experience working with many different breeds of dogs such as golden retrievers, pugs, huskies, bulldogs, sheepdogs, poodles, pitbulls, chihuahuas, and more. I have also taken care of several cats and house plants too. Personally, I own a standard poodle who is two and a half years old. I have owned dogs and cats my entire life, and have provided care on Rover since 2018. I’m very flexible with working around your schedule. I can provide care during the day, evening, or in the night. However, I do not provide hourly/constant care services at this time (for example if you need someone to come stay in your home from 8 AM until 4 PM while you’re away at work because your pet had a surgery and can’t be alone). I am located in Nelson and I am a university student with practicum shifts for school throughout the week. I also have classes once a week but they are online. I have a lot of flexibility in taking care of your pet(s), however, they will need to be comfortable being home alone for up to 8 hours at a time if I am at school. Generally I only have 1-2 days a week where I may be gone for up to 8 hours. I have been professionally pet sitting for a long time on Rover and I have experience pet sitting on the website Trusted Housesitters. I am highly reliable, trustworthy and tidy. I am happy to provide photos and updates via text or email while you’re away so that you can be assured that your pet is happy and is being well looked after.

“Rosa took great care of our kitties! She sent us updates every day and was easy to get a hold of. So happy we found her!”

About: I've had dogs and cats all of my adult life. I have cared for an aging and ailing pets including a 14 year old Siberian Husky and a diabetic cat who lived to be 12. As a senior I have time to spend with pets and love to care for pets with any conditions I'm retired and have time week days and weekends to come to your home to feed and care for your pet. I am willing to stay over at your home if that is required. I have transportation and can drive to you if you live in a rural area. depending on your needs I can come to your home and stay over and as I said above I have a reliable vehicle so I can drive to you if you live in a rural area

“Couldn't recommend Brit enough! She has such a way with animals. She looked after my Staffordshire Bull Terrier every Wednesday for over a year, and spent countless weekends looking after her. She and my doggo had such a bond and that's one of Brittany's superpowers. She becomes friends with the animal she cares for. Her calm demeanor is really soothing for the dogs, they are drawn to her, and then they find out how much fun she is too! Couldn't think of a better person to care for an animal.”

“Lily has puppy sat for us and taken our dog on many walks. She is reliable, kind, and our dog, Squid is always so excited to see her for snuggles and treats! Lily is great with sending us photos and keeping us up to date. You can't go wrong booking her to look after your baby!”

About: I am a full-time nursing student, with past experience working in a vet clinic, so I have a great understanding of ways to soothe your pet if they get nervous while you’re away. I also am confident in providing first aid and CPR to your pet in the event of an emergency while you are away. I am also confident in pilling your pets if they are on any medications! I am a full-time nursing student, I’m currently in hospital 2 days a week and on campus 3 days a week. I generally don’t take bookings on hospital days due to the early mornings and time away from your pets. I’m available to stay ant your home overnight with your pet or pop in a few times a day, whatever you and your pet prefer. Ensuring that your pet is well fed and tended to before I leave for classes is my priority each morning. Throughout the week I will not be able to drop in on your pet during the day, as my classes run back to back, but I am more than willing to work with a neighbour or dog walker of your choice to make sure your pet gets their needs met! I like to ensure that I have a complete schedule of everything your pet needs during the day, including feeding times, walks, medications, playtimes, etc., which I am happy to create and send a copy to you prior to you leaving upon request. I also have roughly 3 years of experience working at a local vet clinic and have been trained in pet CPR, post-surgical care, and am able to recognize the early signs of many emergent conditions.

“Briar took exceptional care of our dog Baxter for 3 weeks while we were away! Baxter is a big boy (90lb) with a few quirks so we were nervous to leave him with someone new. Briar quickly put our minds at ease. She made sure Baxter had plenty of stimulating exercise and provided us with daily updates on their adventures together. Briar is now one of Baxter's favourite people, and he always looks forward to their walks together.”

“Shelby was great and was very attentive to my dogs needs!”

“I have known Rebecca since our first year of high school . I always knew Rebecca as someone I can count on . She has a big heart and is always dedicated to whatever it is she is pursuing. She is great with animals, and we have often bonded over our love for them. I would recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a dog caregiver, I would trust her with mine any time !”

“Jennifer is the kindest, most patient caregiver with our pets. Our dog in particular loves her, and Jen seems to put her at ease whenever she cares for her. There is no one else I would trust more with the care of our animals.”

“Alicia took excellent care of our two beloved cats and our home! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures and asked questions if she was unsure - rather than making assumptions. Our cats completely warmed up to and trusted her, which means the world to us. We are certain they were in good hands! We so appreciate Alicia's dedication and kindness, she truly went above and beyond for us and our fur babies. ♡ Thank you!”

“Salena administered injections of caninsulin on a regular basis to a family pet of mine. She was also instrumental in the training and care of my young dog. Very patient and good with animals”

“I live in a shared house with 5 animals and they all love Emerencz more than their actual owners. Emerencz takes care of them when we go away or if we need the dogs walked while we are at work. I would highly recommend Em to anyone who wants a responsible, genuine animal lover to care for their creatures.”

“Dani is a confident, warm and friendly young lady, who absolutely loves animals. She is honest and reliable and, with a Level 3 Diploma in Canine Behaviour, knows what she is doing. She is not only professional but flexible too and will always do her utmost to ensure your pet is happy and cared for to the highest standards.”

“Angele has always been amazing with my dog. She gets so excited every time she walks in the door. Angele has done a couple long term stays at my house, and the place is always tidy and clean when I return. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a respectful caregiver!”
