“Morgayne was amazing with my two cats! She was caring, attentive and took the time to hang out with them and give them both some love while I was away 🥰 she was available very last minute and she also sent me many photo updates of my girls which I really enjoyed! I would not hesitate to recommend Morgayne as a sitter for your fur babies! I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: As a dog owner and a foster for Paws it Forward, I have extensive experience with different dog personalities, energy levels, and rescue backgrounds. Whether your dog needs a structured routine, a lot of playtime, or just a calm and patient presence, I know how to keep them safe and happy. I treat every dog with the same dedication and care that I give to my own I work a stable, full-time job Monday through Friday. Because of this, my house-sitting and drop-in schedule is structured around my work hours: Mondays – Fridays: Available for early morning, lunchtime, evening, and overnight care. Weekends (Saturday & Sunday): Fully open with flexible, open availability all day. When house-sitting, I am always there to spend the night, and your dog will never be left alone longer than a standard workday Safety and routine are my top priorities. As a pet owner and foster, I know how to keep environments secure and pets safe. When house-sitting, I follow your exact feeding and exercise schedules, keep your home clean, and treat your space with total respect so your pets feel comfortable.
“Brooke was great. She was able to book on short notice, and make adjustments as needed. Great attention to detail, as well as going beyond the scope of my cats needs. My cat was happy to have her company. Would definitely use her service again in the future.”
“Great experience with Felix and Rachel, such a personalized approach! Came back to happy, fed and clean fur babies. Rachel has been very responsive and explained all the details. Thank you!!”
About: Caring for animals has been a meaningful part of my life for many years, and I approach pet sitting with the same attentiveness and responsibility I would want for my own pets. I was a devoted dog owner for 14 years to my beloved beagle, caring for her through every stage of life — from daily exercise and enrichment to senior care and comfort. That experience shaped my understanding of how important patience, consistency, and emotional awareness are when looking after animals. I’m experienced with small dogs and cats and comfortable managing feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and providing companionship so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or more relaxed and independent. My goal is always to create a calm, safe environment where pets can stick to their routines and feel at ease. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative, and I treat every home with respect and care. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. My schedule is generally quiet and structured, with most of my work done on my laptop, so pets aren’t left alone for long periods. I’m typically home the majority of the day, with only occasional short outings for errands, groceries, or appointments. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to maintain consistent feeding times, regular walks, play sessions, and check-ins, while also keeping an eye on pets who may need a bit more attention or companionship. My work is flexible, so I can easily adapt my routine to fit a pet’s needs, whether that means extra outdoor time, medication schedules, or simply providing a calm presence for animals who prefer company. This setup works especially well for pets who are used to having someone around, experience separation anxiety, or just enjoy a steady, relaxed environment. Although I don’t offer boarding, I maintain a calm, organized, and safety-conscious home environment that reflects the level of care I bring to every pet sitting job. I keep my space clean, clutter-free, and pet-aware, meaning there are no accessible hazards like exposed wires, toxic plants, or unsafe foods within reach. I’m very mindful of safety routines such as securing doors and gates, monitoring pets closely, and maintaining a peaceful atmosphere without excessive noise or disruptions. My approach is preventative — I pay attention to details and potential risks so pets can feel relaxed and secure at all times. Because I work from home, I’m present and attentive throughout the day, which allows me to respond quickly if a pet needs anything. Whether I’m caring for pets in their own home or simply checking in, I bring the same level of responsibility, awareness, and respect for their comfort and safety.
“Chloé went ABOVE and beyond to accommodate us and make sure our fur babies were well taken care of. My husband had a medical emergency while away which delayed our trip, and Chloe stepped up and made sure our cats were OK. It was so comforting getting pictures and videos daily and she responded very quickly if we have a question or reached out to her. 100% would use her again and have raved about her to friends and family already. Your pets are in the best hands with Chloe!!!”
“Leah did an amazing job of helping watch both our senior medical needs dog and our brand new puppy while we were at work and they were learning to adjust to each other. She eased our minds while we were at work knowing our boys were in good hands and it helped our puppy become potty trained so much faster. If he did have accidents in his enclosure before she arrived that day, Leah was so nice; she cleaned the mess up for us. I would highly recommend Leah to anyone in need with any age dog.”
“We can’t thank Scott enough for taking such great care of our Samoyed dog while we were on vacation in Vernon. His calm, caring nature put us at ease right away, and it was clear Sambal felt the same. Scott was dependable, communicative, and friendly. Sambal is a big dog and a bit of a puller, but Scott went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, exercised, and loved. Thanks to him, we were able to truly unwind knowing our pup was in such capable hands. He also gave us helpful suggestions about places to visit in the area! We would definitely go for him again if we need someone to care for our dog in Vernon. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your furry family member, Scott’s your guy!”
About: I've had many pets throughout my life, including a snake, hedgehog, dog, and many cats! I'm a quiet person and I enjoy spending time with animals. I recently moved back to the area so I have a lot of free time to watch your pets! Day or night, whatever you need. If I'm staying at your house I will respect the house rules and follow the guidelines you give me in order to give your animals the best experience possible.
About: I have been a dog and cat owner for 25+ years. I currently have two cats of my own and understand the importance on checking in on them when you are away! I can provide cuddles, playing, litter-box changes etc. to make them feel comfortable. I have an active lifestyle and can keep your dog entertained and healthy throughout walks, runs, cuddling, and brushing. I have most experience with larger dogs (golden retrievers and huskies for example), but also am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I understand the importance of building a relationship of trust with dogs and how to make sure they feel loved as well. I look forward to making some new furry friends! I work part-time and am mostly available in the evenings + weekends. Please message me for more details. My schedule posted is up to date. I am currently not offering pet sitting in my own home. I care for pets by frequent bathroom breaks, brushing, playing and cuddling of course.
About: I grew up with dogs around me, and have a passion for them. I would love to care for your dog and give them a fun, exciting day. I have a soft spot for pets and love to care for them in any way possible! I use bus to transport in and around Vernon. I have my Pet First Aid (June 2026) I have a free schedule and am able to be flexible around yours and your pets needs! I enjoy being outside during the day, and mornings and afternoons are perfect for me! I have high standards for safety when it comes to your pet. I am efficient and always on time! I work best with small dogs, and am eager to meet your pet!
About: The dog skill of staying aware of my surroundings has taught me everything I need to know to continue living a stress free life with my dog. All dogs are different and I can show them a comfortable attitude while providing some healthy exercise. My schedule is open to fit your needs at the moment and I can commute near my home quickly in a car for emergencies. Since we live in a tough environment I will come prepared for the weather appropriately. I usually take my dog out 3 to 4 times per day which includes picking up poop and learning of basic tricks. She is 5 but strong as labradors are because of their size.
About: Elizabeth - Having cared for various neighborhood dogs since childhood, I bring a wealth of experience to my dog-sitting services. My beloved chocolate lab lived a long and joyful life, which has given me valuable insight into the unique needs of senior dogs. Joao - Growing up in Portugal, I've had a lot of pets in my lifetime including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, chinchillas, hedgehogs and fish. I especially love dogs. I trained my current dog to sit and lie down using hand signals without any professional help. Recently, we've expanded our services to include dog-sitting in the comfort of our neighbors’ homes. Your furry friends will receive love, companionship, and professional care while you’re away. We are completely smoke-free and will keep your home just how you left it. We look forward to providing a safe and happy environment for your pets :) Elizabeth - As I work online, I’m always present and attentive to the dogs/cats in my care. Joao - Currently I'm not working, as I've just arrived in Canada from Portugal with a Working Holiday visa. I'm around to fit into the pet's usual schedule. We can administer medication and tailor our services to meet the specific needs of each dog/cat. We maintain the pet's usual routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, and playtime. We love to spend quality time with our new furry friends and provide regular updates to the owner through texts or photos, keeping them informed about how their pet is doing.
“excellent experience with Marie-France . Very easy and straightforward to deal with. The service that was provided at my place was very reliable and attentive. took great care of my high-energy dog and cat, and maintained excellent communication throughout.My pets loved her too. Highly recommended!”

I love getting to know each pup I watch and creating a bond with them:) I like to say its research for what breed will fit my life best in the future.

I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for taking such wonderful care of my cats while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such attentive and caring hands.
