About: Hi, I’m Lauren, a dependable and experienced pet caregiver with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve had pets my entire life and currently care for both cats and a dog, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I bring years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments including rescues, seniors, and anxious pups. I offer reliable, personalized care tailored to your pet’s unique needs, whether that’s an energetic walk, a calm check-in, or anything in between. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away and to give you total peace of mind. As a casual healthcare worker, my schedule is dynamic, but I’m flexible and can often accommodate pet care days, evenings, and weekends with proper notice given I provide a calm, pet-friendly home where animals are treated like family. I offer a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort.

Casey and James are fantastic!! They took such good care of my dog while I was away, taking him on so many adventures around the city, and keeping me updated all along. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter. It's always telling when your dog is sad to say goodbye. Thanks again Casey and James!!

Mitch and his partner were amazing. They were able to take care of our dog last minute, but only after they made sure that they were a good fit for us. From the moment I dropped her off, she felt at ease with them. Being a shar pei, this is a big compliment! They sent us pictures of her enjoying her walk in the beautiful nature there and I picked her up in a happy and relaxed mood. Thank you Mitch and Jess!

About: Hi! My name is Rosa. I have lived with and cared for many dogs and cats, and done regular dog walking for many years. I have an intuitive relationship with animals - always creating a safe and nurturing environment for them. I look after any pet as if its my own - showing respect along with healthy boundaries. I am happy to take dogs on walks wherever you prefer and have a car so can head out to various locations outside of Nelson, as needed. Communication and trust are important to me, so I will happily call and provide updates, photos, and videos of your precious dogs and cats while pet sitting! I am very happy to adapt to whatever situation and your needs, so please get in touch if you would like to discuss anything further or if you have any questions at all! I'm currently working part-time / self-employed, so I will have ample time to care for your precious furry friends and be on a fairly flexible schedule for walks and feeding. Also looking for opportunities for long-term pet and house sitting from September onwards. In your home, I will carefully adhere to whatever safety precautions you have in place to protect your precious dogs and cats - be it keeping gates, doors or windows shut and crating when necessary. I am very attentive! I can send regular photo or video updates - just let me know what you need! I can only pet sit at your home, although doggy day-care is available in our large garden - which is fenced, with ample shade under a big magnolia tree, and grassy area to play on, we have a trampoline which the doggos love to nap under too!

Professional, knowledgeable, and quality care for our dog! This isn't your average dog boarding- Roberta provided a loving and safe environment for my large dog (90 lbs), in her home. She requested key info on my dog's feeding, health and behaviour, and provided updates and pics almost every day during our dog's boarding. So grateful our dog was not lonely and so well looked after!

About: I’ve spent years caring for furry companions and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s going on long walks with an energetic pup or curling up with a cuddly cat, I’m all about giving animals the love, attention, and routine they’re used to. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who just want some quiet company. I’m happy to follow any specific care instructions, give medications if needed, and make sure your pets feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and care. Let me know how I can help keep your pets happy and your mind at ease! I am available all day on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and in the mornings and evenings from Thursday-Monday. From September-November I am available full time, everyday. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner, such as feeding schedules, exercise needs, and medication requirements, to ensure consistency for the pet. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection to keep them happy and engaged. For dogs, I take them on regular walks, give them opportunities to explore, and tailor activities to their energy level. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—providing care, companionship, and lots of love to help them feel secure while their owner is away.

Lauren is a caring and loving pet parent. She has walked and watched my dog overnight for over a year. She takes great care in ensuring all of his needs are met and that he has the best time possible. Cuddles on the couch and outdoor adventures are always had. Could not recommend her more!
