Pet Sitting in Vernon

“Carlea fit Alder in with a very last minute request to come check in while I’m working, and she catered to his needs (and moodiness) while he’s been injured. She was also great with timely updates and communication :) thanks Carlea!”

“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.”

“I've always known Lindsey to be very passionate and caring about animals. When I've needed her to help with caring for my dog and cats, she's been thorough and affectionate.”

“Awesome! Kasey was on time, such a great communicator, beyond receptive to the excessive amounts of obsessed dog mom info coming at her and the biggest test of all was loved by Jet. Highly recommend Kasey!”

“Thank you so much for coming on short notice , the boys had so much fun with you :)”

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”

“Jeremy has had a sweet spot for dogs ever since he was young! He's got a good balance of being loving and firm in his interactions with them!! Our little Tilly absolutely adores him! She gets so excited when she hears him coming!! He's taken care of our dogs numerous times.”

“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!”

“Everything was perfect just as we had asked and we are very grateful to Kylie for Tundra Bear's care. Kathy and Peter”

“Kiana was excellent with our dogs. They returned home very tired after their walk. They were very excited for her to return and walk them the next day. Kiana is very friendly and outgoing and is truly an exceptional person.”

“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.”

“Selina’s a kind, compassionate, and responsible dog walker. Honest and prompt communicator & amazing with your dog! Ensures she gives the love they deserve. Totally endorse her! She’s taken care of my young whippet and I’d happily return for her services!”

“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!”

“Emily is my most trusted person to look after my cat Dwight, she is awesome at housesitting and also taking him in. I know he’s always in loving care while staying with Emily.”

“Alexis has a love for all animals and this passion has led her to volunteer at a veterinary clinic to care for animals during times of their greatest needs. She can be counted on to care for them, provide hygiene and play with them. A few years ago, Alexis encountered a dog that was not receiving attention from his owner. Alexis picked up the dog many times each week to take him to the park for exercise and to play with him. Loving and caring for pets is who Alexis is.”

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.

“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.”

“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.”
