“We highly recommend Amy for your pet and home sitting needs. She is professional, caring, quick to respond to any questions and just an overall joy to work with. We came home to a clean home and a very happy kitty. Thank you so much Amy”

“This was my first experience using Rover for my dog Abby. Thank you Ashley for being responsive and helpful with our communications, for being happy to meet ahead of time to go over Abby's care, for your flexibility with scheduling, and most of all for taking great care of Abby! It is obvious that you love animals, that you are able to anticipate their needs, and that you are willing to go above and beyond to provide excellent care.”

“Lauren looked after our two kitties for a few days- with twice daily check ins. She was absolutely fantastic and we are thrilled. Lauren somehow got even our shy kitty to warm up, and both cats were very clearly well cared for. Lauren even shoveled our walkway and stairs when it snowed! We will definitely be asking to book her again and very highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was born so I have lots of experience walking dogs, caring for dogs and spending time with them. I love dogs of any size and breed. I am currently writing a book and other than that ski so have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I love being outside and getting to care for your dog will make it better! I can provide an environment which will make your pet feel at home and personally will have no trouble fitting into their home space if needed.

“Jessie is wonderful with Forest! She takes great care of him and helps exert his energy on walks, dog park visits and play time.”

About: Growing up with many different types of pets, I've got a lot of experience, including with cats, dogs, reptiles, and birds. I regularly watch over friends cats and dogs when they go on vacation. I have two amazing cats that take turns staying with me or with my sister! Working with wildlife has allowed me to become very attentive to animals needs. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I am able to provide pet visits at most time! I love to get up early so no time is a problem. I believe quality time is so important with animals, so playtime is a must. I love to go on long walks, or whatever fits your pets ability level! In my own home, I've made sure it's pet-safe as my own pup is a sneaky snack stealer and loves to make anything a toy.

“Kylie was a fabulous communicator, took incredible photos of our cat that accompanied our detailed daily updates, and she even brought in a heavy package for us while we were away. Highly recommend 🙌”

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!

About: I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, and fish. Also, have experience caring for farm animals. I have my own dog who I raised from a puppy so I’m comfortable potty training, if needed. My schedule is flexible since I work for myself. Each week looks a little different so it’s best just to send me a message to discuss. I care for pets as if they were my own and this respect extends to your home. Always wanting to leave a positive impact anywhere I am.

About: I have house sit, dog sit, chicken sit, and cat sit, in a variety of homes, even more remote homes where snow plowing was required. I work a flexible schedule. Hybrid remote office worker. I work Monday thru Thursday, but live within a few blocks of my place of work Located near the Columbia River with a fenced yard and no other permanent pets at my home, lots of room to play and run around the yard and trails.

About: I work from home and I have lots of love to give! I’ve owned dogs and cats in the past, but currently do not have any animals of my own. I have a lot of time and energy to spend with your fur baby. I love going for long walks too. I live in town. My house is empty, there are no other pets at the moment. Many animals who come stay with me are very relaxed in my quiet house.

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: I grew up with pets and hobby-farm animals. Have experience dog walking, pet sitting and have been a long time nanny and pet carer. I will treat your home and pet(s) like my own :). I am currently working mostly remotely for a local non-profit giving me lots of time to spend with your pet. When I am out of the house for work it is at most for a couple hours at a time. I am very cautious and safety conscious. I would never put put your pet at risk due to negligence. I am attentive and will make good decisions for your individual pet.

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.

“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!!”

“Zara is absolutely amazing! We have a fearful dog and we spent an an hour taking things slow. River warmed up to Zara faster than we've seen with anyone else! Zara was compassionate, understanding, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog! Looking forward to future bookings!”
