Lauren was incredible with our cats and our place. Lauren came by for a visit to meet us and the cats and they immediately took to her, which is not always easy for our shy cats. Lauren has a really great calm energy that our cats loved 🥰 Lauren watched our two cats for three nights of drop-in visits and gave one of our cats medication. She's trustworthy, friendly and dependable and we will certainly be hoping to book her to watch our fur babies again. Thank you so much, Lauren!

About: I grew up with a cat, who lived to be 18 years old. I have extensive pet sitting experience, having looked after many family and friend’s dogs and cats. I currently dog sit for a few friend’s dogs in town and would be stoked to have some more doggos to walk and hike with! My schedule is currently quite flexible throughout the week. Weekends are usually a little busier but I typically have time for dogs walks any day of the week. I live in Nelson and have a car so I can either walk or drive to anywhere in town to pick up and walk dogs and/or feed & entertain cats. My current space is too small to host pets unfortunately.

About: When I was 8, I got my first kitty and named him Mr. Jaguar -- that's me and him in the vintage pic! I've cared for cats of all ages over the course of my life. Most recently I've looked after senior cats, as well as cats with higher maintenance (particular diets, playtime, attention needs). I am currently unable to accommodate boarding for dogs, and I can only care for one dog at a time (applies to house-sitting and visits) -- multiple cats is ok for house-sitting and visits, but can only board one at a time👌 My schedule is flexible and varied. While more notice is better, please feel free to reach out for short-notice bookings; I'll let you know if I'm available! I have room for you kitty to be catered to. No other pets will disturb them, and they're sure to get lots of attention in a safe environment 😊

About: I've cared for my family's 2 sheepadoodles for 8 years, and consistently watch a cute little chihuahua who loves to play frisbee. I don't have experience in dogs with special needs, but I do have a highly flexible schedule for people that need pet care. I work for myself at home, and can work from anywhere if need be. I love going for walks, and am happy to take your pet out any time of the day. I work completely from home and for myself, so I have no schedule constraints and am available most of the time. I am about as flexible as it gets! I don't have a fenced yard, so pets in my home go for a couple walks. If you have a fenced yard, I throw balls and frisbees till your pet can't go anymore!

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with golden retrievers, and I’ve been dog-sitting in Nelson for over two years. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, and easygoing couch companions, and I enjoy adapting to whatever pace your pup prefers. I love taking dogs out on Nelson’s beautiful trails for fresh air and adventure. Whether your dog wants to sniff every tree or prefers a more relaxed stroll, I’m all about making their time with me tail-waggingly fun! With a flexible work schedule, I’m able to accommodate a wide range of routines, visits, and energy levels. I’m all about making sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away—because every pup deserves to have a good time, even if their human is off doing human things. I am currently working a casual schedule. I am available for morning, afternoon and evening walks! I am available for pet sitting during the week or weekend! I have my own suite that has access to a grassy area out front. I am a few minutes walk to the graveyard trails. Dogs that stay with me will be taken on morning walk, mid afternoon walk and a longer nature walk in the early evenings!

I just returned from a two week vacation to Europe. I needed someone at my house overnights due to issues my dog has had at daycare in the past. I had my regular walker agree to do some of the overnights, but needed someone to fill in the rest. I selected Jessica and had her walk my dog a few times before I left. Still I was a tad nervous as she had never done an overnight stay, and did not have much experience with this very active dog. Jessica did an amazing job. She sent me regular photos and my dog seemed to be getting along with her very well. I booked another overnight for when I got home, in case there were flight delays. I got home on time but I did want to see how my dog interacted with Jessica for future dog sitting appointments. I could tell that he adored her ( he wouldn’t leave her side when she was here). I left my house super-clean and it was in the same shape when I returned. I would wholeheartedly endorse Jessica if someone is looking for an overnight sitter or a dog walker

Jessica took great care of my old cat. I had to make a emergency trip out of town. She was very flexible about pick up and drop off which made it so there was one less thing I had to worry about. I knew my old boy was in good hands

About: We've been looking after pets – both our own and our family and friends' – for as long as we can remember. We're both from Australia, but since May this year, we've been pet sitting our way around Canada while on working holiday visas. We've looked after energetic shepherds, packs of pooches, cats on medication, young pups and senior felines. With every pet, we learn (and love!) a little more. We're full-time pet sitters, and we can work with just about any schedule. Whether your pet needs a walk around the neighbourhood, a longer hike further afield, or just someone to give them their dinner and a bit of love. We are extremely reliable house sitters. Reviews on our THS profile routinely talk about how owners come home to happy and relaxed pets, and a very clean home (sometimes even cleaner than when they left!). We know the level of trust it takes to let a stranger into your home, and we are extremely respectful of that.

About: I had the pleasure of growing up on a farm in rural Alberta helping to care for many cats and other animals. Eight years ago I relocated to BC and have had the joys of cat ownership, as well fostering through the local SPCA. I absolutely am a crazy cat lady and will take exceptional care of your kitties! I work as an RN and can do some basic med administration. I occasionally do shift work so would not be taking pet sits during long stretches of work. I am very flexible with my time and can prioritize a pet routine in well around the few activities and home-bodying that I normally do! I am able to care for cats in your home or my home. Happy to chat more about this if I am a good fit for your cat!

Dani was excellent to communicate with and treated my dog well… lots of walks and attention. We dropped him off for the afternoon so we could do a cruise to spirit island… which was not dog friendly. Highly recommend!!

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!

Once again Jasmin was a fantastic sitter for our kitties while we were away. It is such a relief to know that our kitties are safe, content and comfortable. One of our cats is super shy but somehow Jasmin has completely connected with her and with our other cat as well. Thank you Jasmin - you are much appreciated.
