Pet Care Tailored to You!
I am currently in Victoria during the months of September and October. *Boarding: please be advised that I can only accommodate small animals and dogs up to 20Ibs. I also have 2 cats. I understand that your furry companions are not just pets, they're cherished members of your family. With a deep-rooted passion for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for creatures large and small, young and old, I offer premium pet sitting and dog walking services tailored to meet the unique needs of each pet and their owner. My academic background includes a four-year study in animal science and welfare at the esteemed University of Guelph, supplemented by ongoing education in Environmental Science and Planning at Selkirk College in Castlegar. Whether you're away on vacation, stuck at work, or simply need an extra hand, you can trust me to provide reliable, compassionate care. Whether it's embarking on hikes, enjoying beach outings, or cozying up at home for cuddles, I'm committed to ensuring the happiness, safety, and well-being of your beloved pets. Let me be a trusted companion on your pet's journey.

Safety, trust & environment
At home I have a 2 bedroom apartment with a large balcony and one bedroom dedicated to boarding/housing pets that need it. I often foster and volunteer with the local SPCA and have had great success with them, as well as the potential for help and security should it be required. I have full access to Millennium Park and trails, as well as a car for transportation should that be required. I have had years of home sitting experience and will bring cleanliness and respect to any home.
Ratings and reviews
Amanda was one of the best sitters I've had the pleasure of watching my cats for me! She was so communicative, kind to the kitties and a great sitter. I will be booking with her again!
Amanda took wonderful care of my senior kitty with caring and empathy on repeated bookings. It made going away possible and easier.
We get pretty nervous about leaving our senior pups with someone new but Amanda did an incredible job. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we got home, and we got several photo updates as well. Our house was left in perfect shape as well. Will definitely be having Amanda back the next time we need a sitter!
Amanda is great! Very professional and so kind to my cat. The guest room is great, it provided stimulation/ climbing as well as security and kept him away from other cats (he’s shy!). I am so glad to have found Amanda and will be working with her again in the future!
Amanda was great. Very adaptive to our rather elderly cat who needs time to warm up to anyone, and she did! Great photos each day. Made going away so much more pleasant and worry-free.
Amanda was very responsive, kind, experienced and professional. We were so nervous to leave our fur babies at home but she sent us photo and text updates during each home visit which kept us at ease. She also went above and beyond providing extra enrichment for them to ease the transition. We will definitely be looking to work with her again in the future.

I am currently working full time in Castlegar and occasionally Nelson and will be able to look after pets in and around the area. Fear not as I have pets of my own and plenty of time for them and yours should you choose me to care for your furry friend. I have weekends and evenings off that are completely dedicated to my animals care and wellbeing.
