“We would 100% ask Elisabeth to watch our two cats again. Both girls took to her quickly (which never happens!), and Elisabeth sent photos and updates during our trip. She made the process easy, is a strong communicator, and put us at ease. Highly recommend! :)”
“Magdala looked after my two senior cats and I am so pleased with the amount of work she did. I came home to zero mess! And I could tell after each check in she gave them lots of attention and pets (they are demanding so I don’t think she had a choice, haha). So pleased that they were cared for in the same way I would have cared for them. Thank you Magdala!”
About: Animals have been a big part of my life, and I bring both education and hands-on experience to every pet I care for. I have an undergraduate degree in animal biology and gained experience working in veterinary clinics where I learned the importance of careful observation and treating every animal as an individual. I also spent a year living with a breeder while completing Teachers college, helping with everything from birthing to feeding, to puppy development, house training, and the day-to-day care of the dogs. I’m comfortable around puppies and adult dogs. I’m currently a teacher so patience, consistency, communication, and staying calm when things get chaotic are part of my everyday life. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, patient companion or a consistent routine, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am currently off for the summer so I am generally available during the weekday and weekends. Once school begins I will be free after 4 PM during the weekdays and available during the weekends. I am able to pet sit at your home as I am extremely responsible, reliable and will ask questions for clarification. I am clean, courteous and will make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.
“Julie was fantastic! We went away for a week and she took care of all our cat’s needs. She kept us up to date throughout. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter”
About: I bring hands-on experience with puppy and kitten development, training, reactivity management, socialization, agility training and pets medical, dietary and behavioural needs. I’m observant, patient and comfortable adapting care to each animal’s temperament and routine. I have owned and cared for dogs from Boston terriers to Pitbull Sharpeis, and have managed through every obstacle possible with two sassy rescue cats, as well as provided pet sitting and boarding in my network, many times through the years. Most recently I provided daily walks, drop ins and training sessions to my neighbour and his Husky pup for 3mo earlier this year. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I’m currently flexible and available for house sitting, drop-ins and walks. I’m comfortable building my day around a pet’s established feeding, exercise, training and care routine. I prioritize a calm, clean and secure environment, following your instructions and keeping pets’ routines as consistent as possible. I use attentive supervision, clear boundaries and positive reinforcement, while treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: We are a mature couple who loves pets of all kinds - my partner is great at training puppies and young dogs too. We have a flexible schedule and plenty of space both inside and outside and we love a good long walk! Currently working freelance from home so lots of flexibility, time, and attention for your fur babies! Available at fairly short notice both weekdays and weekends and happy with early or late walks, drop offs and pick ups. We have a large unfenced yard backing onto lots of open woodlands and hills with tons of opportunity for good long walks. We also have a fully fenced multi level pool deck with lots of space for outdoor run around too. Inside the house is well set up for pets with wooden floors, plenty of space, as well as cosy corners and a real fireplace with perfect curling up rugs for winter evenings!
About: Hi! I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with a Dalmatian and have had several cats of my own over the years, so I’m very comfortable with both cats and dogs. I work from home part-time and generally have availability for lunch time drop-in visits or walks. During weekdays I am typically available after 4pm and am occasionally available on weekends. I am currently not offering pet sitting in my own home, but I do provide walks and drop-in visits to give your pets the attention and care they deserve.
“Lora was wonderful with my kitty. This was the first time leaving her home since she’s been on her oral meds so I was quite anxious. Lora handled her medications like a pro and I felt comfortable to enjoy my trip. Highly recommend using her services.”
“This is the second time Tiernan came to take care of our old kitty Marley and again she did a fantastic job. She is reliable, tidy, gives me detailed reports about how he’s doing (including pictures) and a true sweetheart. I trust her completely with my fur baby. Thank you so much Tiernan!”
“Isabel was great with our cat while we were away, she even managed to get some snuggles out of her which is no mean feat because she's pretty standoffish to new people. We'll definitely use Isabel next time we're away, thanks!”
About: I grew up with 8 German Shepherds, 3 cats, and 1 Poodle! I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’m calm, patient, and great with shy or anxious dogs. I’m able to read dog body language and respect their boundaries. I believe in safety first mindset on walks and in the home, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, not just watching them. I’m currently working part-time and my job is close to home, so I can walk over during my breaks for check-ins. I attend school full time, with half of my classes online, which means I’m home for majority of the day and able to give pets regular attention and care! I follow a clear schedule for walks, meals, and play-time. On-time care everyday. I care for pets by maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or a clients home. I make sure they are fed on schedule, get regular walks, and have plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and safety, and I always respect house rules and special instructions. I also provide regular updates with photos so pet parents feel at ease while they’re away.
About: I've had experience caring for many pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles, and birds. I've also cared for several pets of my own, so I'm used to feeding schedules, playtime, grooming, and giving lots of love! I can adapt to each animals personality and requirements. I treat every pet like they're my own and always make sure they're well looked after! I am currently working part-time and will be starting an online course through TRU in September, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care! I am able to easily work pet care into my daily/weekly routine and can be flexible with walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I stick to each pets usual routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. I follow all care instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, potty breaks, and any other specific needs depending on the pet. My biggest priority is that your pets are happy and cared for in their own environment while also being respectful and mindful of your home and belongings. I'm always happy to send regular updates and photos so you feel reassured that your pets are doing well!
About: having grown up with cats and dogs, no home feels complete without a pet. i truly understand that animals become a part of the family and with a flexible “work-from-anywhere-with-wifi” career i can provide your pet with the love, care, and attention they deserve and need. both mobile and childfree, i can travel throughout the okanagan valley (or the Pacific Northwest for the right match). I am experienced from playful puppies to sugar-faced seniors and from kittens to cranky cats. no furry friend is too big or small! i work a flexible job, fully remotely so I can keep your pet company while working M-F. I am a Peachland loca: mobile, fit, young-ish, and childfree with most evenings and weekends open to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs. as a long time dog owner i believe in positive reinforcement training and will encourage good behaviour by rewarding with pre-approved treats. I observe dog body language to only touch or cuddle as much, or as little, as your pet may want. I completely understand being away from you family can be unsettling so your pets comfort is my ultimate priority :)

Thanks Xenia, for taking care of my kitties, changing their litter box, topping up their water, and feeding them wet food. The photos and videos really brightened up my day while I was away from them. I would recommend Xenia to everyone. She was professional, experienced, and caring.
