“Laurie took incredible care of both our cat and our home while we were away. She went above and beyond and we couldn’t recommend her more to care for your fur babies. Will absolutely be rebooking with her in the future. Thank you!”
“Sara recently watched our 6 month old kitten for a full week and absolutely exceeded our expectations. She made sure our little girl had lots of playtime and attention, sent us lots of updates, and even brought over some fun new toys to play with! We would definitely have Sara watch our kitty again and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone wanting to ensure their pet is well looked after.”
“Kirsten is the single best cat sitter we’ve had. She’s a pleasure to deal with, very accommodating, and the cats have genuinely warmed up to her. It’s peace of mind she’s looking after our pets while we’re away.”
“Loressa took great care of our cat Ember and followed all of our instructions to a T! We appreciated the regular updates and effort she made to play with Ember with her favourite toys. Our place was nice and clean when we got home to a happy kitty. Thanks Loressa!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a child, and there has never been a time when dogs weren’t a part of my daily routine. Caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. Over the years, neighbours, friends, and family members have trusted me to walk, feed, care for, and love their pets while they’re away or when they need an extra hand. I truly can’t express the joy I get from spending time with a happy four-legged friend. Whether it’s going for a long walk, playing in the yard, or simply keeping them company, I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I currently work remotely from home so I have a very flexible schedule Monday-Friday. This leaves ample time to walk and play with fur friends. I am available Monday- Friday as needed for those that may have full time jobs away from home or need a little extra help during the day. I currently only offer dog walking so although your furry loved one will not be in my own home I bring years of experience walking dogs on leash or off. I know common dog commands and will follow any training techniques already in place for your animal.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets from dogs and cats, birds, exotic animals, farm animals, and I have confidently given medications orally. I usually will stop by before and after my shift ( I work 7 am to 7 pm. 4 days on 4 Days off ) if I am working that day I usually sleep at the cilents abode if that’s what the client prefers and then wake up hang out with the pet do their morning routine and then head to work. On the days I am not working. I am available more it depends on my clients preference and what they are looking for. Sometimes they want me to hang out with their pets all the time other times they’re like no I just want you to stop in and feed them. I’m pretty open to whatever. I prefer to take care of clients pets in their home environment. I don’t like having cilents pets in my home. Please and thanks 😊
“Phoebe was great! Easy to communicate with and plan with. Very friendly and my little girl loved her! It's always hard on me to leave my cat, but knowing Phoebe was coming to check on her made it easier. I will definitely rebook and would refer her to anyone! Absolutely loved the little video clips and pictures.”
“Jenn (& hubby Pat) were the best pet sitters anyone could ask for! Everything from our meet & greet, to back & forth communication, to key arrangements, to ongoing pics & updates while I was away, to the above & beyond for the state of my home when I came back—all was exceptional. There is nothing like having peace of mind when entrusting one’s precious pet to high calibre trustworthy folks. I would highly recommend them & have already booked them for my next adventure.”
About: Although I have never had my own dog, I have spent a good amount of time with my friends and family’s dogs. I have experience walking and doing basic cares. I am currently working full time, so early mornings and evenings on the days I work will be when I am available. On my days off, I love to be outside, especially at the lake. I would love to take your dog with me and enjoy some water fun. I can do almost whatever cares you need for your pet in your home. I do have a fenced in backyard where well trained and calm dogs can play for short visits. I have my own car, so we can travel to walking paths or the beach for some summer fun.
About: With 18 years of pet care and vet assistant experience, I handle everything from energetic puppies and high-energy walks to gentle, attentive senior care. I’m comfortable administering medications, reading subtle animal body language, and providing safe, tailored adventures that give you complete peace of mind. I am a stay at home mom with a flexible, open daily schedule, looking to get out and find my new best walking or cuddle buddy. With 18 years of pet care and vet assistant experience, I treat your home and pets with ultimate respect, maintaining routines, administering meds, and keeping them safe.
About: I've had a cat back at homecountry for 10 years (she still lives her happy life with family back there). Often after first dog sitting in Okanagan clients become my regulars. I am part-time employed at present. When I am not at work I'm fully focused on spending good time with the pets I'm looking after. Ensure perts are walked on leash, check for signs of discomfort, daily walks for dogs/ playtime for cats, regular brushing, cleaning litter boxes, ensure pets are fed on schedule and have fresh water.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and was responsible for caring for our family pets from a young age. I’d love to have a dog of my own again, but my daughter’s allergies mean we can’t currently have one in our home, so I really enjoy spending time with other people’s pets. Whether I’m out for a walk, popping in for a visit or staying in your home, I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and follow their usual routine. I’m happy spending time with playful, outgoing pets as well as those who need a slower introduction. My previous dog was a rescue dog that had separation anxiety and was reactive on leash and around certain people. Through lots of training together, I learned to read dogs’ body language, recognize triggers and handle walks calmly. I've always been the go to with friends and family to take care of their pets and I have experience caring for pets with medical issues who needed medication, including injections. I’m patient, attentive and want your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. As a self-employed designer that works from home, I have flexibility in my schedule. I keep my availability updated and communicate clearly before accepting each booking. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and your instructions so they feel comfortable in their own home. On walks, I’ll check that their collar or harness is secure, keep them on leash and be mindful of their surroundings. At home, I’ll be careful with doors and gates, refresh water and leave things tidy. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing.
“Kaylee was so fantastic with Bella! We felt great while we were gone knowing Bella was in good hands. She kept the house very tidy. We will definitely be booking with Kaylee again in the future!”
About: I have three dogs of my own and also foster dogs in my spare time. Working with animals has always been a passion of mine, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality and needs. I’d love the opportunity to care for your fur baby and give them the same love and attention I give my own. I’m currently taking some time off from my 9–5 and have the flexibility to provide 24-hour care for your fur babies. This includes home check-ins, and individual walks, giving me plenty of time to make sure they get the attention, care, and exercise they need. My main concern is always the safety and well-being of your animal. All walks are done individually so that I can give them my full attention and focus on proper training, handling, and making sure they are comfortable and safe throughout the walk.
About: We are lifelong animal lovers with experience in small and large breed dogs and we’re excited to welcome your pup into our home. Lisa is an early bird, and works from home, and I am a night owl who loves being outdoors giving us plenty of time for your fur babies. We are flexible to most needs, and comfortable with all breeds, sizes and energy levels. If you have a routine that your dog follows we can do our best to replicate it during their stay with us. We have a fenced back yard and a short distance to hiking trails and the fenced off leash dog beaches in the area. We have a great neighborhood for various walks as well if you prefer to keep your dog on leash. I am currently working part time, and Lisa works from home making us ready and available weekdays or weekends whatever you need. We welcome long stays too. Secure 9 foot fenced backyard for dogs that love to be outside, and lots of comfortable quiet areas inside too. Dogs have free run to be where they are most comfortable. We have a friendly 8 year old lab cross who’s always happy to have a buddy.
About: I have looked after and fostered many pets for the last 15 years. Cats, dogs, bunnies, even turtles!! My friends call me Dr. Dolittle :) I work full time at the hospital but I love early morning strolls, time spent at the dog park and of course one on one time as well. I will care for your pet in the comfort of your/their home so their environment is not disturbed. I find that this has more positive results

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our Moose! 🐾❤️ We were away in Europe for an extended vacation, and I’ll admit, we were pretty anxious about leaving Moose for so long. But knowing he was in Kirsten’s care gave us such peace of mind. This is the second time Kirsten has looked after Moose, and it’s so clear how much he absolutely adores her! There’s nothing better than knowing your fur baby is not only being well cared for, but genuinely loved while you’re away. Kirsten is wonderful, caring, and someone we trust completely in our home. We came home to one very happy kitty, and that means the world to us. We are so grateful for you, Kirsten! Moose already can’t wait for his next visit! 🥰😻🫎 Highly, highly recommend! ❤️
