Cat Sitting in Vernon

“Carlea is reliable and thorough, and she took excellent care of my cat during her drop-in visits. I highly recommend hiring her to take care of your pets!”

“Rhian looked after my cats while i was out of the country. She was great at updating me on how my cats were doing. She did a great job with my 16 year old cat - medicated and monitored her bowel function. Thanks for taking such great care to f my babies. I’m going to be a repeat customer.”

“Kasey did drop in visits for our cat over a long weekend. She was extremely responsive and we felt she went above and beyond for us and our pet. She was able to coax our shy pet out of his shell and provided great company for him.”

“Monica looked our cat ( King Thai) with great care. She kept us informed of his well being by email as we travelled about . This is the first time we left this long (34 days). We would highly recommend Monica for your house/pet sittig needs.”

About: I have owned 3 dogs of my own now. One was from a puppy. Another I had until she was 16. So I have intensive senior care so to my own personal experience. My dogs are my family, I’ll treat yours the same. I have left my hours open for boarding on the weekends only as I do currently work full time. But weekends are open to stay home with the animals! I have a very small yard but it’s fully fenced. There is also a roof top deck that my dogs enjoy exploring. We also live by a dog friendly park!

“Kylie always takes great care of our two cats. We never stress about them when we’re away.”

About: Hello! Decades of animal care experience and love here! Have worked with, trained and owned dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and horses over my life. Love to build trust with an animal and see their personality shine. Experienced with and understand dog reactivity. Experienced with and understand use of tools including ecollar and muzzles as required. Currently have started a new job, so I am no longer available for daytime during the week. I may have random openings, so don’t be afraid to ask. As a homeowner and pet owner myself, I understand the desire to have trusted individuals looking after your pets while you’re away. Conscious, clean and levelheaded.

“We have had Tiffanee house and pet sit for us several times. Our 2 dogs (pit bull and chihuahua) and 2 cats all love her. She is respectful of our house and our requests for how we would like our pets taken care of. It is clear that she really loves animals and takes great care of them”

“Regan has been in a family where she participated in looking after the family dog for 15 years. In that time she walked, brushed, played with the dog. She has also cared for our dog over the past 8 months, and helped socialize and train our puppy. She also has dog sit for other people who have asked her multiple times to come back. Regan is a caring and responsible person.”

“We had the pleasure of having Adam look after our dog Zoe while we were away for a month. Adam was reliable, and showed a genuine love for Zoe from the start. He quickly understood her routines and made sure she was well-cared for, happy, and comfortable.Adam provided us with regular updates and photos, which was reassuring and allowed us to enjoy our time away without worry. He was attentive to Zoe’s needs, ensuring she got plenty of exercise and affection. We returned to find Zoe happy and healthy, and it was obvious she had been in great hands.We highly recommend Adam to anyone in need of a pet sitter. His attention to detail, respect for our home, and deep care for Zoe made our experience incredibly positive. Thanks, Adam, for your excellent care!”

“Sara stopped in to let our dog out during the day when we were gone. She sent me pictures when she was there and was attentive to any health or distress signs. It was clear she loves dogs and our dog was very comfortable with her.”

About: I'm available every day, anytime after 11pm if you would like to know more feel free to ask and I love all dog breeds. I have watched and walked dog since i was 8 lol. I'm a hard worker, very good with senior dogs as my one dog is a senior, I am wanting to become a vet down the road, I am free to work whenever anyday as I'm not working during the winter. I'm very good with cats as well I have a adult pure breed manecoon, I love going for long runs and walks. I am 21 with alot of animal experience as I used to volunteer with the spca and worked at a couple pet stores. I am not scared of pitbulls either as I own a Staffordshire pitbull I have an open availability any days you need me i will be there, even if its last minute. . . . . . . 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

“Emma was great! She was very quick with responses and did a great job updating us with pictures of our fur babies. Thanks again Emma, would definitely recommend.”

“Our pup loves his walks with Taron! And we love that we have someone so kind and responsible to walk him when we aren't able to. Would recommend Taron for your dog walking needs!”

“We asked Megan to drop-in on our two cats while we were away visiting family and she did an awesome job. We’ll definitely be calling her again in the future.”

“Emily was fantastic!! We have two cats that are verrrrry skittish around new people! Normally they don't ever come out of the bedroom if we have people over. Both of them came out to see Emily the second time she came to check on them, and they now come running out whenever she comes by! We don't have to worry about them when we go on vacation anymore thanks to her. 12/10 would recommend!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters? Oh boy! - I wanna take your dog(s) hiking with me, and not just on the Okanagan Rail Trail and Grey Canal Trail - but possibly on longer hikes too further affield. Mount Rose, Enderby Cliffs, Ellison Provincial Park, Spion Kop - you name it. I'm completely willing to take your dog to even cooler places farther away too. - Not only am I willing to take your dog(s) on actual hiked but as an experienced thruhiker I have the knowledge and equipment to do so safely. I always make sure that my phone is charged before going out and I use a backcountry GPS app BRMB with downloaded maps to ensure that we never get lost. I always carry sufficient water for both of us and on longer hikes I carry a Garmin inReach Explorer personal locator beacon so that if an accident does occure Search and Rescue knows EXACTLY where to find me! Additionally, I carry bearspray from April to October and will always keep your dog leashed to prevent negative encounters with wildlife. Safety is my number one priority so I will only ever walk your dog with a another dog if that dog is an established packmate or buddy. If your dog doesn't like other pups I will take care to walk them on quieter trails and in summer heat I will stick to shadier paths as well as run air conditioning during transport. I will respect your pet's allergies if they have any and will refrain from feeding treats if requested (I prefer to use freeze dried beef liver which is usually okay.) Be prepared to be spammed with photos of your dog looking majestic in beautiful places! For safety during transport I have a Kurgo Car Safety strap which I can clip to your dog's harness. As someone who deeply cares for wildlife, dogs and other people I dedicated to always picking up after your dog while on walks as dog poop can spread pathogens throughout the environment, harming wildlife and threatening the watersheds which we all depend upon. I always carry poop bags properly dispose of excrement in appropriate garbage recepticles. - Having completed Sprott Shaw College's Veterinary Assistant course I am well versed with diseases and injuries which can afflict our pets. I know how to get pills down the throats of dogs and cats who need medication, including by disguising the medication in treats like churu or pill pockets for a less stressful experience. I can give injections too and I'm not afraid of feeding your pet raw if that is what they eat. I will stick to your care instructions for your pet, regardless of their species. - At home I keep two cats and a marine reef aquarium so I am happy to look after all species if fish and will gladly check water parameters with provided tests then text you the results to keep you updated on how your water is doing. Having kept a leopard gecko for twenty-three years I am extremely comfortable with looking after reptiles and amphibians, including bearded dragons, Bunny, guinea pig, ferret, rat, chinchilla, conure, gerbil, hamster, budgie, etc? No problem! I spent half of my retail career looking after a miriad of species in pet stores. I'll follow your care instructions to a T and happily keep your animals company, keeping you updated with photos. - Cat? Cats are where I really shine! I have kept cats since I was seven years old and I don't balk at cleaning litterboxes (and I've used pretty much every litter media out there.) I know which medical signs to watch for which would indicate an emergancy having had several cats with urinary health issues which have required hospitalization and I am deeply respectful of cats' skittish, nervous nature. I'm happy to play with them, get scratched/nipped, feed them as you would feed them, give them plentiful butt scritches, watch TV with them, let them out into their catio and chill for hours with them in my lap. In closing, I would be absolutely honored to look after your pet no matter what its species is and be their friend while you are away. I am a trustworthy, respectful, quiet and kind individual who has loved animals (and the great outdoors) all of her life. While I have never had a dog of my own (yet) I have walked a friend's dogs for over a year and my veterinary assistance training as well as years in pet supply has made me confident and knowledgeable in walking all manner of breeds. I love playing 'guess the breed' with every dog I meet and I have knowledge of rarer breeds which most people have never even heard of! Being a disabled neurodivergent person conventional work has been extremely hard for me but animal care is one thing that I particularly shine at. PLEASE NOTE: - Except for emergancies I will not reply to messages before 8 AM or after 5 PM. I need boundaries for my sanity. - I am absolutely never available on Saturdays. Again, boundaries. - I need at least a full day's notice before I can accept any work, preferably longer. Why? Again, boundaries. - Also note that I am invisibly disabled which is why these boundaries are so key to my mental health and my ability to function! Please, please respect them! My functionality gets worse the more stressed out that I am and I need my routines and ability to plan ahead in order to safeguard myself. - I cannot do any overnight housesitting work as I need to be home at night to take care of my own beloved pets and family. I solemnly promise that I will look after your beloved pets as if they are my own; I am very knowledgeable about pet husbandry and health. I will only ever let your dog offleash to romp in a fully secure area after we have built a relationship of trust with established recall and elsewhere I will always keep your dog properly leashed (I ask that you ideally provide a sturdy harness for your pet.) I always carry a fully charged phone with a GPS backcountry navigation app to ensure that we never get lost while hiking and on longer trails I carry a personal locator beacon should an accident occur. I also carry bearspray from April to October should we encounter an unfriendly bear or other wild predator such as a coyote. I am dedicated to keeping your pets safe to the best of my ability; all I ask is that if we are going hiking they be kept fully up to date on shots, their collar have a valid license, and I strongly recommend that they be on an anti-parasitic regime with will protect them from being bitten by pests like ticks. Should they be injured while they are with me I will take care of them to the very best of my ability, including physically carrying them out and taking them immediately to your chosen veterinary clinic. Again note that in the case of a snake bite I will take them directly to Fairfield Animal Hospital in Kelowna as they are the closest pet medical facility with rattlesnake antivenom; safe driving and haste allowing in the case of this specific emergancy, I will keep you updated through texts. I always clean up after any animal that I am responsible for properly. No matter your pets' species I promise that I will look after them with love and care.

“Selina is super knowledgeable, trustworthy and friendly! I highly recommend her for any services that you may need. From walking, or sitting - she's great. :)”

“Alexis was a wonderful cat sitter! She’s knowledgeable about animals (becoming a vet tech) She stayed in touch the whole time I was away. Lots of sweet photos and updates let me know Libby was in good hands. I will definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for years form taking care of horses to hamsters! Personally I love dogs so that’s what I’d love to dedicate my time towards currently! I unfortunately can’t own my own as of right now. Pet care works great for me in the mornings as I work later in the evenings! I have quite a few days off so evenings will also work sometimes! I make sure they’re tended too and cared for. Food and water replenished or checked. Brushed groomed, even teeth brushing if necessary or ear cleaning
