“We LOVED our time at Jessica’s! Hatcher was immediately considered family and went on all the best walks to sniff all the things on the trails. And when he wasn’t playing outside he was doing his favorite activity, snuggling!! Thank you and see you next winter!!!”
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: Raised in a very involved, fostering family with veterinary experience, veterinary technician, parents, extensive knowledge of dog breeds, and behavioural traits. Open and gentle leadership through trust and encouragement. Full-time dog care, facilitator, and walker 100% focussed on every dog's, comfort and integration into my home and life.

“Our dog Patsy had the best day with Kym and her dog Timber! Kym sent videos and pictures of them out on walks which was great! Kym was even able to pick up and drop off to where we were staying which was really helpful for us! Would definitely recommend Kym to look after your dog! :-)”
About: I will treat your dog as if they were my own. I had 5 dogs growing up and love them endlessly! Let’s get in touch! 🐶❤️🐾 Please note that I do NOT require crate training for dogs I’m boarding or doing in house sitting for. This is a profile error and I’m not able to remove it at the time. I currently work from home and can be attentive to your pup all times of the day whether it be for walks or in-house animal sitting or both! I prioritize pet safety, well-being and companionship. I follow set routines, provide exercise, maintain cleanliness and ensure proper feeding and hydration. Communication with pet owners is key and I am prepared for emergencies. I am professional and define my pet care services as having a loving approach.
“Rosa is a fantastic sitter, Kika had the best of times with her. Kika is high energy and I could tell she had enough play time and she got along with Mocha really well. I'm becoming a repeat customer from now on”
About: I grew up with dogs who've always been considered part of the family. As a lover of all animals, I've also had experience with cats, rabbits, rodents, and horses. I love being active in the outdoors and bringing my furry friends along! My bernedoodle Bailey and I often walk, run, hike, bike and ski among our local mountains and enjoy swimming in the lake on hot summer days. I've cared for dogs with high energy, low energy, puppies and seniors and am able to accomodate special needs your dog(s) may have. I'm a university student with a varying summer schedule, and am often out and about with my own dog. Don't hesitate to reach out with any dog walking, day care (partial or full day), or boarding requests. I have a 2 year old medium-large bernedoodle, Bailey, who is incredibly friendly, playful, affecctionate and gentle with smaller dogs. I'm comfortable caring for all ages, sizes and breeds of dogs, given that we've had a successful meet-and-greet and they are comfortable with Bailey if they'll be around her. I value maintaining the routines your pet is used to and fulfilling their needs and your requests for exercise and care. I am conviently located in town in Nelson with trails close by.
“Leigh-Ann was courteous and professional, and sent updates letting us know Tally was doing well. She has a beautiful big property in the woods which is great for dogs. She seemed to genuinely care about Tally's wellbeing.”
“Casey & James happened to be available for a last minute drop in for us to enjoy nearby Ainsworth Hot Springs, we were so grateful that they were able to take good care of Jon!”
“Super nice couple! Took care of my dog while on a ski trip. Even if my dog require a lot of outdoor time, he get her out multiple time during the day to make sure she's happy! Will definetly contact them again!”
“Nicolle took care of Riley for the day and they spent some time walking around the park. My conversation with Nicole was easy and she was very responsive. Riley got a long with her 11 year old Shih Tzu Zoey. Nicolle sent me multiple photos throughout the day.”
About: My goal for your dog while they are staying is for her to feel safe and comfortable. I am able to work with the routine your dog currently has and hopefully make her stay with me feel comfortable but also like a vacation. I’ve had my own dogs for over 15 years and understand how unique and special each one is. I’ve cared for senior dogs and most recently a puppy. I work from home during the week so your dog will have company. Depending on your dog’s exercise requirements, I am able to walk your dog before and after work and at lunch. On the weekends, I usually plan an outing such as a hiking, swimming, or visiting a local park. I have a 1 1/2 year old Labrador retriever who is extremely friendly and would love the company of another dog. I also have a cat. I have a fully fenced backyard for the dogs to play, relax in the sun and for easy bathroom breaks. I’d like to work with you to customize a plan for your dog’s care while she is staying with me

Chloe was amazing with our dog Mochi a small cockapoo. She was very warm and welcoming for our trip to Nelson when dropping the dog off and Mochi seemed to take a liking to her in a short amount of time! She was available on short notice and we are so grateful to have had such a great experience with Chloe. We really appreciate you!
I made an extremely last minute booking with Rosa to accommodate my pets while I went to an appointment that I received short notice for. My cat has never been left with a sitter before so I was nervous about how he would do, but Rosa was able to help him and my pup settle in super quickly, and they both seemed to have a blast! Rosa was incredibly understanding about the situation and quick with updates when I messaged throughout the day, which really helped my peace of mind too. Thanks again, Rosa!!!
