Winter’s Almost Here!

Posted on by Invermere Pets

Welcome to Winter 2024 and looking ahead to 2025.

Summer was busy and fall went by in a blur. Now here we are, winter is knocking at the door and it’s time for an update! Weekly walks are in full swing and most days have a stacked line up. Contact me for walk availability on Tuesdays, Fridays and limited space on Saturdays. Book early to secure a spot!

Vacation Dates for the new year include: January 9-13 (Vancouver), January 18 – February 1 (VACATION) and February 14-20 (Vancouver). My parents and family are in Vancouver and as they get older I will try to spend time with them when / while I can. Thanks for understanding!! Currently overnight pet sitting is fully booked until March.

Coming in 2025… additional training programs and pack walks. These on-leash structured walks help dogs learn to be neutral and co-exist with other dogs. All you will need is a dog and a leash! Stay tuned for more info to come!

As always, Thanks for the continued support, referrals and time spent with the best companions.

May Days and Beyond!

Spring and Summer Updates for Walks and Pet Sitting

May is here and we are finally creaping into warmer temps and spring conditions. Sunny days definitely make dog walks more enjoyable but keep a towel by the door in case of rain!

I have a couple more family-time trips planned in the coming months. * I am away May 11 – 19 and again June 23 – July 11 *. Pet Sitting nights are currently fully booked until the end of October. Once we get closer, I can “release” dates for November, December and Christmas. Stay Tuned!

Thanks for all the support and keeping me busy and active!

Welcome to Summer!

Posted on by Invermere Pets

Reminder *** I will be away June 27 – July 12! ***

I’m off to the coast (home) for a visit with family and friends and to work my other, other, other job with BC Bike Race!

Summer in the Columbia Valley is amazing, there’s new snow on the mountains (!!) the lake is refreshing and the trails are perfect for running, hiking or riding. During the hot summer days our dog walks might get a little shorter, slower and shadier. I bring water with me on all walks and try to get to the lake or other water source whenever possible.

Pet sitting dates are almost fully booked from July to November. I only have a few potential spaces available. As well, I will likely (hoping!) be away during the first two weeks of December to have a much needed vacation and get some SUN before the cold of winter hits.

As always, I want to say a huge THANK YOU to all the awesome dogs and cats (and the people!) for all the support. The dog walk days keep me fit and active and I love to get as many kitty cuddles as possible!

Thanks for all the love,
Shannen

Winter Walks

Posted on by Invermere Pets

Thanks to all my amazing dog and cat clients! I am so grateful for all the ongoing support here in Invermere and the Columbia Valley. This May will be THREE YEARS of Invermere Pet Services! WOW!

Winter Dog Walks

Christmas was a very busy time for pet sitting and home visits. That momentum kept my calendar packed until the end of January. I have a little quiet time before the spring break rush starts again in March. Currently, pet sitting bookings are fully booked until May.

My dog walking days continue to be Monday and Thursday with a few weekend spots on Saturdays too! I have a few “Black Out” dates to note: No Dog Walks on: Monday Feb 13, Monday March 13, Thursday March 27.

Thanks for choosing Invermere Pet Services!

Availability updates for Fall and Winter

What a brilliant and busy summer! Thanks again to all my wonderful doggos and PAWsome kitties for keeping my summer full of walks and cuddles.

September is here and I am off for the next two weeks to enjoy my work with BC Bike Race helping riders at the Aid Station! All walks will resume on October 3.

Winter pet-sitting bookings are filling up fast. I will be away Nov 27-Dec 5. I’m already booked for the Christmas break but can still accept clients needing home visits only. If you are planning a winter holiday or spring break getaway in the new year, secure your dates soon!

Thanks again to all my dog-walk and cat clients. Honestly every dog is my favorite and I love my time with all the fun, silly, goofy, cuddly and happy pets I can take care of.

Last Minute Help?!

Posted on by Invermere Pets

Last minute bookings or cancellations are not a problem!

Your day is crazy and now you won’t be home to let your dog out? I will always try to accomodate a last minute walk or home visit into my flexible dog walk days. If you are stuck just send me a quick text or call and I’ll do my best to help you and your dog.

Do you have a scheduled weekly walk or pet sitting dates already booked. Cancellations are OK. I know life happens and plans change. Just send me a message and let me know if we need to cancel or reschedule. There is no cancellation fee. I can probably fill the time with another booking, or even enjoy some time to myself… either way it’s all good!

Invermere Pet Services is here to help keep your pets happy and healthy. Contact me to arrange a quick meet and greet or to book dog walks or pet sitting!

Fall Availability Update!

Posted on by Invermere Pets

What an incredible summer – THANK YOU for keeping me busy and active. I can’t believe I am nearing the end of my Parks contract (how has it been 5 months!?) Don’t worry, I still have time for my favorite dog walks on Wednesdays and Thursdays!

*I am away from Sept 25 until the end of October*. I have a two week contract for BC Bike Race in the Okanagan and then I will be going home to Vancouver for a long overdue visit with my family and friends. (I CAN’T WAIT!!)

I hope to see all my favorite 4 (and 3!!) legged friends when I return in November. I will be ready for all the winter walkies and home visits that you may need. Thank you again so much for sharing your pets with me.

Summer Availability

Posted on by Invermere Pets

Summer is here and Invermere and the Columbia Valley are getting busy! I currently have a full-time contract with Parks Canada in Radium. I am still available for dog walks, pet visits and some (in your) home/pet sitting.

Dog Walks are available all day Wednesday and Thursday (my days off). I often have Friday or Saturday mornings off and I am available some evenings after 5pm. I will do my best to make something work with you and your dog!

Overnight or (my) home boarding or day care is very limited and all guests must be approved by my *manager (*my 10 month old puppy Mavi needs to meet your dog first!) I am happy to come and pet sit at your place!! This also helps to keep your pet comfortable in their regular routine and environment.

Contact me if you have any questions or to arrange a free meet and greet with you and your pet. I love to help keep your pets happy and healthy while you are visiting Invermere, Radium and the beautiful Columbia Valley. ~Shannen
