Cat Sitting Vernon

About: I spent 4 years working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of every breed, size, and temperament. I managed playgroups and kept schedules on track. I was also a dog owner for 12 wonderful years, so I know what it takes to keep a dog healthy and loved. My family has now been fostering dogs for about a year now, which has taught me how to help shy or anxious dogs adjust to a new home. Between the daycare, my own dog, and fostering, I've built years of real experience. I'd love to give your dog the same care and attention I gave my own! I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays throughout the week, and I can adjust timing to match your dog's usual schedule. I follow your routine exactly, keep things tidy, stick to feeding and walk schedules, and always watch doors and gates to keep your dog safe. I'll send updates so you know how things are going!

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my kittens! Morgayne did a fantastic job caring for them, including managing medication every 12 hours. She kept my home spotless while staying there. Her communication was excellent, with frequent updates, and it was clear my kittens adored her. I felt completely confident leaving them in her care and recommend her without hesitation.”

“Laura was great!! Leo seemed to have gotten lots of love while I was away and her updates were great! I was really happy he was in such good hands!!!”

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.

“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.”

“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!!!”

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.

“Rhian was a good cat sitter. I appreciated she anticipated outcomes if I didn’t make it back on time. She checked to see if I made it back for Astrid’s sake and that was appreciated. She was reliable and I would recommend her.”

“Tamara was great! I have an old finicky cat and she was more than willing to accommodate his needs. Thorough and transparent communication, responsible and took care of my house like it was her own. I would recommend her anytime (except when I will need her again lol!)”

Michele M.

“I can’t say enough good things about Sarah’s calm, kind nature and how wonderful she was with our beloved pet cat Hannie. Hannie bonded with Sarah straight away and we felt very comfortable leaving Hannie with her. Not only was Sarah a wonderful pet sitter, she did odd jobs around the house as well. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone as a house/pet splitter in their home.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals in every shape and size, from dogs and cats to horses and alpacas. Regarding experience, I frequently house-sit friends and family members pets, including large breed dogs and cats. I have a senior dog of my own and thus have experience giving medications and adapting daily walks. On a personal level in my final year of studies at UBCO, and I am an avid hiker and shameless reader. I’m happy to hang out with your pup with a good cup of tea, or you have a high energy dog who needs a hike once a week, I’m your girl. I currently attend classes in Kelowna Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Friday afternoons I and am happy to drop in outside of lecture hours. I am available weekends, especially for longer walks as I love a good hike! I do not bring pets to my home and I do not bring my pets on walks, or to other people’s houses. Not because I wouldn’t love to, but simply because it stresses my old dog out too much. But, that just means more attention is given to the pet I’m visiting and/or walking! I’m happy to follow a routine, and care for the animals i’m checking in on I’ll request to be outlined beforehand so I can keep up with your expectations and keep everyone safe.

“Leah was fantastic - at our meet and greet, she had 3 pages of questions to ensure she knew all the possible considerations for George! Regular updates and photos, and it sounds like they enjoyed each other very much! Highly recommend!”

“Alexandra took great care of our pets and our home. She was very communicative and sent regular updates. We would love to use her again in the future.”

About: 🐾 What Sets Me Apart 🐾 I have had pets my whole life. Since I was a young child. We always had dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters and fish. I loved taking care of them but since getting older I have not had a chance to have my own as I generally am in rentals that don't allow pets so I love to look after others when they are away. I treat every pet like my own, catering to their unique needs, routines and quirks. I am experienced & trustworthy – I have years of experience with dogs & cats of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. Clients often call me the pet whisperer as their pet comes to me willingly when they might not with others because of my calm, gentle and grounded personality. As a trauma recovery coach specializing in nervous system regulation, I create a soothing and safe environment for pets, especially anxious or rescue animals. I take your dogs on engaging walks, engage in interactive play with your pets and give mindful attention to their well-being, not just basic care. I am flexible & reliable – I work around your schedule to ensure stress-free pet care. I work from home as I am a Trauma Recovery Coach so I see my clients online. I generally help clients regulate their nervous system or give them mindfulness practices. So I am often doing meditations with them or calming sessions with them. I take breaks in between clients and go for walks so can be sure to give your pet the extra attention it needs. I generally go to your home to take care of your pet. I do have a yard with a fence right now though which is helpful.

I have a tall fenced yard and pet safe plants indoors and outdoors. we have a dog park around the corner so lots of play time

“Morgan went above and beyond our expectations. She is a genuine animal lover and it is so evident. We have two demanding male cats and a senior female cat who has special needs. We came home to happy and well fed kitties - not to mention a very clean house. Morgan stayed in contact with us while we were away with lots of photos. Any concerns we had were non-existent as we realized what a responsible and caring person Morgan is. Would not hesitate to recommend her and we will definitely ask her again to pet sit.”

About: Hi! My name is Natasha and I’ve taken care of animals for most of my life. I’m experienced in handling pets of all sizes and ages. Whether you have a puppy who needs a playdate or a senior cat who just needs a bit of company, I’m happy to help! I work part time and my hours are fairly flexible, so I’m available during most times of the day. I can do half an hour or hour long visits, whatever your pet needs! For drop in visits, I can travel anywhere from Vernon to Salmon Arm. I have lots of experience with cats and dogs, and I’m comfortable with exotic pets as well.

About: I've always had a deep care for animals, and have never met a pet that I didn't love (and that didn't love me)! I have lots of experience (unfortunately) with administering medications and caring for my own terminally ill rescue pets over the years. I am between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is wide open! I love to explore the valley, so I'm consistently between Westbank and Enderby scoping out new hiking spots. I will stay with your pet for as little or as much time as you'd like! I am a helicopter parent to my own pets, so I have no issue following whatever requests you have that might seem crazy to others.

About: Let me give you peace of mind while you are separated from a very important member of the family. I have a lifetime of experience with many animals including exotics. Whether your pet is furry, scaly, or lives in water, I will give everything I have to make sure they are well taken care of. Your rules and boundaries are of the utmost importance and you can count on me to follow through making sure your pet has consistency in your absence. Nutrition and exercise are top priorities but just as important is your pet's emotional well-being. It is hard on everyone to be a part and it is my responsibility to help your loved one through the anxiety and fear that can come from separation. When you return from being away, you will be greeted with a healthy happy animal ready to spend quality time with you. I currently work from home on my own schedule and terms. This makes it easy for me to take care of your pet anytime during the day. Your rules, guidelines and wishes are my top priority. I will follow your requests as I strongly believe consistency creates a happy well behaved pet.
