“Tanya was amazing with our girl, took her for walks and gave her lots of love while we were away. We also got updates every day and felt totally comfortable leaving our dog there. Definitely recommend. Thanks again, Tanya!”
“Karlee is an amazing sitter! Our Jasper spent 2 weeks with her while we were gone and we constantly got updates! Not just words but pictures as well! She is so flexible with us and we appreciate it. Jasper enjoyed his time and he came back healthy and happy as well as extremely tired! Highly recommend her as a sitter and we will be using her again in the future. 😊”
“Alexis sat for our two dogs for two nights and they were well taken care of while we were gone. She ensured that they went on their walks, fed, and fully cuddled during their stay! She communicates well and kept us informed with all we needed to know and sent pictures of our pets during our stay. I recommend Alexis to care for your pets’ needs!”
“Tawyna was easy to connect with and the full process went smoothly. My dog is often anxious in new spaces but Tawyna and her family were great with him and he seemed to fit right in. Highly recommend for anyone looking for reliable, caring dog care!”
“Yulina was amazing with my dog! From the start, I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. I got regular updates and photos, and it was clear my dog was happy, loved, and well taken care of. When I came back, my dog was calm, content, and clearly adored her. I highly recommend Yulina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Pierre and Sheila took great care of our cat, Bella. We were very grateful for the updates, they got to know her and it really showed. I would highly recommend them as sitters for your cat!”
“We left our small senior dog, Simón, for 10 days with Jeffrey and Janine. When we picked him up it was clear that we could not have left him in better hands. Jeffrey and Janine did a great job helping Simón with his specific dietary needs, walking routine, and frequent cuddles. We also received regular detailed updates and pictures that showed how quickly he adjusted to their pet friendly home. We plan to leave Simón again with Jeffrey and Janine and we highly recommend them.”
“Jackie and Tom are so warm and welcoming and make you and your dog feel like family! They send updates and pictures to reassure you and have two sweet little dogs for playmates as well as a very large yard to have lots of outside time. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them watch our dog again and would highly recommend them to others!”
“I have never felt more comfortable and relaxed leaving my pup as I had with Lisa! She is so caring and attentive and made Maximus feel so loved and welcome! She even stayed next to Maximus on his first night as she sensed some separation anxiety and just to make him feel safe and secure !That was so very much appreciated and so very very thoughtful! I loved the daily updates and pictures! It was comforting to know he was ok and very well looked after! ❤️It was great that he has some wonderful socialisation with her three pups and two cats!!❤️ I will always ask Lisa as to her availability for any future pet sitting needs! I highly recommend Lisa to anyone who is looking for pet boarding 🌹”
“Isabel was great with communicating from the very beginning. She has a warm and nurturing presence and we could see that our dog, who is older and a bit anxious, was well cared for while we were away. We hope to have Isabel care for our dog again in the future!”
About: Erin & I have had 3 dogs most of our relationship (10+ Years strong), and each had dogs growing up, they're just the best to lean a shoulder on :) Your dog would be treated as part of our family for the duration they are with us - We'd ensure that they have enough stimulation, or as much as they need - We love getting to know dogs and their different personalities! Erin is a certified dog groomer so we can provide add-ons if required. (Limited Services at the moment but hoping to expand with a home setup soon) In order to ensure your dog is comfortable, cuddled and loved while you're away we will give them attention through the days as we both work from home. Ensuring they will never feel alone. So they usually fit in really easily! Fully fenced yard. We allow our dogs free reign of the house (other than sleeping with us!) but we will provide a safe/seperate space for your dog at night to sleep in peace.
“Highly recommend! Rachel was so welcoming and awesome with our puppies. We would 100% recommend and we will be back! Our dogs had a blast and so good to have a home away from home environment for them.”
“Sonya was an outstanding dog sitter! Our dog came back to us so happy and was excited to go back for a second time, as we were so satisfied with Sonya's service we requested her twice in the same weekend. Sonya was very accommodating to changes in our schedule and we would highly recommend her. She also has other dogs at her place that allowed our dog to get some energy out and socialize. Thank you for everything, Sonya! We look forward to our next visit and seeing you again soon!”
“Suzanne was great! She communicated well with us and sent lots of pictures. She has a great backyard that our dogs enjoyed. They came home happy and healthy. Would book with her again!”

“Andrea was wonderful, extremely responsive and great to communicate with. She helped us out on the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so we could spend some time away from home. You can tell she really cared for our kitties and took great. Pictures will definitely hire again and recommend.”
About: I’ve had plenty of barn cats growing up, and I loved taking responsibility for my fur babies. My sweet girl, in my picture is my pride and joy. You can’t ever spoil a cat. She can be spicy, but it’s been a learning experience curve and much needed.
About: My kids are grown, I’m on my own but haven’t set new roots. This is my time to move around and I’d like to be of use. Willing to travel and often do between Cochrane, Kelowna and Grande Prairie too. I prefer to care for two or a few, im used to juggling a crew. I have been housesitting for friends and family a long time, I used to be a property maintenance manager, and now I am doing a course online. You can take the mom out of the nest, but you can’t take the nest out of the Mom. Caring for homes, pets, plants and people has always been part of who I am.
“Great experience with Felix and Rachel, such a personalized approach! Came back to happy, fed and clean fur babies. Rachel has been very responsive and explained all the details. Thank you!!”
“Sara helped out last minute and was super accommodating to take care of our Annie! The house was spotless when she left as well. Very grateful for services and we would love to have her back.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for caring for cats. I’ve raised nearly 50 cats over the years, each with their own unique personality, needs, and quirks—so I truly understand feline behavior and how to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your cat is playful, independent, or requires a little extra patience, I tailor my approach to fit their temperament. I’m also experienced in administering oral medications and keeping things spotless—deep-cleaning litter boxes and maintaining clean feeding areas are part of the routine. Your cat’s well-being is my top priority, and I’m here to provide reliable, loving care while you’re away.
About: I've had cats in my family home for years. Starting from when I was a baby all the way up to the age of 29. Cally & Sam were the longest members of our cat family. Cally being around for 18 yrs and Sam for 14 yrs. Both silly beans. And Sam being our social buddy who just loved people. Unfortunately, both are passed now, but I still remember both fondly. Which brings me to this, helping cat parents to take care of their kitties while they are gone on vacation! - I feed them daily - clean litter boxes 1-2 times a week - play with them with their favorite toys - probably a string I look forward to being your cat sitter 🥰
About: I have had pets since I was young, and I have always been responsible for taking care of those animals, whether it’s walking them, cleaning up after them, bathing them, training them, and overall just making sure the animals are living in a very high-quality environment. I have both a cat and a dogs. My dog is a bit larger, so I am knowledgeable on how to properly take care of a larger dog. I have also taken care of small dogs that my family and friends have had. Overall, I find I get along great with any animal! Respecting their boundaries is very important to me! I just finished my first year of university and I am working over the summer! I work most days but with a flexible schedule that allows me to check on your pets throughout the day! In my home my dog is outside and inside, but our cat stays inside. I value their safety, and although my dog is outside sometimes, I check on them frequently and give them constant attention to ensure that they are okay. In a clients home, I will follow their guidelines on whether or not the pets are indoors or outdoors, and I will give frequent attention to maintain their safety and well-being.
“Brianna was fantastic! Great communication and she took great care of my boy who had asthma. Very respectful of my home as well. Came home to a clean home and a happy cat! Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Kateryna is a wonderful! Kateryna went above and beyond in taking care of my cat while I was away. From the moment I met her, I could tell she was passionate about animals. She followed all instructions meticulously, ensuring my cat's routine was maintained. Kateryna provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing my furry friend was in good hands. I returned home to a happy and well-cared-for cat. I highly recommend Kateryna to anyone in need of a reliable and caring cat sitter. Thank you for your outstanding service!!!”
“Gabriella was great - prompt response when I sent in a cat sitting request She looked after my pet (cat) just over a week, and all went well She even shoveled the snow on the driveway!”
About: I currently work from home in marketing from Calgary and I'm looking for some extra work that aligns with my passion for animals. I have experience taking care of animals (meal prep, grooming, feeding, playing etc.). I would love to meet your furry friends 😊 When I come to your house I will dedicate my time to providing lots of nourishment and entertainment for your pet. There's nothing I love more than cats and dogs, animals make me happy. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets. I work from home so there is alot of flexibility for time of day. I can also take last minute requests. I can be available on weekends as well. I live with an Australian Shepherd and take him for walks multiple times per day. I have experience feeding, cleaning and playing with dogs and cats.
About: Hi! I’m Maria, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs—as well as cats with all kinds of personalities. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, potty training, feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after pets, administering oral medication when instructed, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I understand that every animal is different, so I always take the time to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable and happy. For dog walks, I typically offer 30- or 60-minute walks, making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, and enrichment while staying safe at all times. During drop-in visits, I feed pets, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, give medications if needed, and spend quality time playing or relaxing with them—whatever they enjoy most. If I’m providing house sitting or overnight care, I’ll stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule to reduce stress while you’re away. I’ll also keep your home tidy and respect your space. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. If an emergency ever arises, I will contact you immediately and, if necessary, seek veterinary care based on the instructions you’ve provided. I’m calm under pressure and always put your pet’s well-being first. I know how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member, which is why I’ll send regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how they’re doing. I have reliable transportation, a flexible schedule, and experience caring for both dogs and cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you return. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet, and I look forward to becoming someone you can trust whenever you need reliable, compassionate care. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and pet care throughout the week. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s usual schedule and provide reliable, consistent care whenever you need it. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. During walks, I always keep dogs securely leashed unless instructed otherwise in a safe, enclosed area. In your home, I’ll treat both your pet and your space with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and secure. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine love for animals and my firsthand experience as both a pet owner and pet sitter. As a previous pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and caring to look after your pets. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, providing companionship, and maintaining their routines to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their personality, needs, and preferences. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their furry family members are happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. As a rotational worker, I have two weeks off at a time, which gives me the flexibility and availability to dedicate quality time to caring for pets. During my time off, I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals through dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. Having been a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of maintaining consistent feeding, exercise, play, and companionship routines to keep pets happy and comfortable. I tailor my care to each pet's needs and the service being provided. For dog walking, I ensure pets get safe exercise, fresh water, and plenty of attention. For drop-in visits, I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, medication (if required), litter box cleaning, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. For pet sitting in a client's home, I maintain the pet's normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress, including feeding schedules, walks, exercise, and lots of affection. As a former pet owner and experienced dog and cat sitter, I understand the importance of reliability, patience, and keeping owners updated on their pet's well-being.
About: As a devoted cat owner with experience raising several litters of kittens and caring for my own 3 cats, I understand the unique needs and quirks of our feline friends. From feeding and playtime to cuddles and companionship, I provide attentive care and create a comfortable environment for cats to thrive.

“I brought Bowie over a few days before for piece of mind since I’ve never left her with anyone but family before. Tabitha and her husband were so great! They love dogs and I knew instantly Bowie was going to have a great time and feel right at home. They sent me photos throughout her time. I will definitely use their services again and recommend to family and friends!”

“Maude and her whole family could not have been more lovely!! We were visiting Olds for a family gathering and at the very last minute booked to have our 1.5 year old corgi pup spend the afternoon/evening at her home. Our Lowla had never been left anywhere before and it was better than we could have hoped for! Maude’s easy welcome put my mind at ease right away and I am sure Lowla would have happily stayed longer! Thank you Maude!! Would highly recommend to anyone!”

“We have several friends and relatives that can take care of Brisket when needed, but we wanted to have backup sitters in case of emergency. This visit was only a chance for Brisky to get familiar with Kevin and Erin and their pups. Good people, they are clearly dog people and we are looking forward to utilizing them through Rover in the future.”

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life. My first pup was a recuse from a puppy mill and we loved her for 16 years. When i was a young adult, i recused a stray tabby who sadly just past away at the ripe age of 21. We then just rescued another cat named Budweiser (not our choice but love it 😂) Now, my family and i have just finished loving our mini golden doodle in her 13th year and our hearts are missing that puppy presence. We are also a rescue foster dog family and love taking in the ones who need love the most. I have also volunteered in Nunavut at the animal rescue shelter and loved every minute of it. I am a stay at home mom who works a few hours a day at my kids school. We are a sports filled family, so after school activities are always happening but we can discuss hours that work for all of us. I have a fenced in yard and a furry friend to keep you pup company. I have a baby gate at the front door to allow the pups to sniff and meet our cat before enjoying our day together.
About: We’ve both grown up with pets in the home since we were kids and have extensive experience with dogs. We have our own dog Toby who’s a 9 year old rescue and great with anyone. Our house is spacious and there’s plenty of room for a crate or bed if needed when your pet comes to stay. We live steps to away from an off leash dog park as well as regular trips out to the mountains for walks and hikes. We both have quite flexible schedules and have open availability including WFH. Lots of time to play with the pups and getting them their needed exercise. We have a spacious home with lots of room to chill. Great new area with a dog park only steps away. Are also mobile and do regular trips out to the mountains for a good stretch !
“Nichole was great. Zeek came back super happy and tired. Which Is great and easy to communicate with and happy she was able to accommodate last minute. Will Def book again!”
“Jeff was wonderful. If I ever had to board my dog again, I would do it only with Jeff. This was my first time boarding my dog and I was super anxious. Jeff was very methodical, which I thought was great. He made sure our dogs met his dogs and that they got along well before the day of boarding. He asked a bunch of questions about my dog's personality and did exactly what we discussed. He made sure my dog had a great time. He also sent several pictures and videos all day long - this really REALLY put me at ease (and also brought a smile on my face). My dog had such a great time, he just slept all day long for the next two days!”
“Oscar was so well cared for and loved while he stayed with Jacqueline. They sent updates and pictures while he was there and he looked so happy ! They have a beautiful fenced outdoor space for the dogs to run around in as well. I will definitely be bringing Oscar back there!”
About: I am a parent of two dogs, oldest one being brownie. My greatest joy has been raising them, training them and playing with them! Although, it might seem that I have too many pets to handle, I can ensure that I am a very considerate and responsible pet owner and would love to take care of your best buddy alongside mine! I have experience from taking care of many of my personal friend’s pets and was hoping to take it another step further! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Just let me know a week in advance so I can get sort out my schedule!! I have fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company as well as a cat! I can also crate your dog if needed

About: I lived with a friend on a hobby farm. She showed me the ropes. I learned how to take care of all animals big and small. I am willing and able to assist in medicine administration. I have tons of free time that I’d love to dedicate to ensuring your furry friend has their needs through the day and even when you’re on vacation I work from home, starting up my own business but I have free availability pretty much all day. I hardly ever leave the province and can dedicate as much time needed with your fur babies as you need! I won’t have pets in my home as I have a cat myself, but I will ensure I know where all food, treats, toys and everything else they require before you leave. I will ask for an emergency response plan in the event I need to get ahold of you asap. I also have my own reliable transportation and will ask for the vet you use in dire emergencies. I will also supervise play time as I know how quick everything can go sideways. I also am very clean, if there’s a mess from your pet, it’ll be cleaned. And I have no problem cleaning litter boxes as well.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats in my life for over 50 years and have an amazing ability for having them relate to me.

I live on an acreage with a fenced yard and two friendly Maltese dogs and a dog friendly cat named Nigel. Dogs names are Maggie and Monty.
About: Caring for dogs has been a natural part of my life for years, and I’ve consistently been the go person for friends and family who need reliable, attentive care. What sets me apart is my structured, detailed oriented approach. I’m confident with playful puppies who needs consistency and basic reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who require patience, medication reminders, and a gentler pace. With a professional background rooted in responsibility and communication, I provide dependable care, clear updates, and a calm environment so both pets and owners feel completely at ease. I have open and flexible availability, which lets me dedicate my days to caring for pets with attention, consistency, and love. I enjoy providing walks, playtime, feeding, gentle supervision and I always keep owners updated so they feel confident their pets are happy and safe. Whether it’s a last minute request, a reoccurring schedule, or longer stays, I am able to provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each dog’s needs. My home is safe, welcoming, and designed to keep pets comfortable and happy. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play safely and 2 friendly dogs to provide companionship. Inside, I provide cozy spaces and can crate dogs when needed for rest or security. I supervise playtime closely, maintain consistent routines, and ensure pets have access to fresh water, exercise and attention throughout the day. I prioritize a calm, structured, and loving environment so both pets and owners feel completely at ease.

“Brianna was amazing with our lab Fig. She walked her everyday while we were on vacation and she was staying with a family member. She was flexible and reliable and so easy to communicate with. Fig looked forward to her walk everyday with Brianna and she gave us the best updates throughout the week. Absolutely recommend her for anything, and if we ever need her services again, we absolutely will be reaching out.”
About: I have a very high tolerance and patience with all sizes and breeds. I am okay with cats as well. I’ve trained a couple of my friends animals a few times. And I love just getting out for exercise so would love to look after your fur companion to give him/her some exercise as well :) I was the kid who took in all the animals who were homeless. I am very energetic as well so if you have a very high energy dog don’t you worry!! I’m a student who is looking to get out more, make a bit of pocket money, and have a little fur companion to hang out with during the day. I can't wait to meet your fur babies and companions. I work throughout the week from 9-2pm and sometimes off earlier it depends! I also have a vehicle to commute to your pet. Weekends are open and evenings! If I’m walking your pup I have had clients leave their treats and leash in the area that is visible but it is whatever you are comfortable with, I am very flexible!

I have experience feeding, cleaning and playing with dogs and cats.
“Gabriella saved my day! I needed a last minute walk done and she accepted. Gunner was very happy and content when I got home and Gabrielle was wonderful, sending pictures and great communication.”
About: Ever since I was a baby I’ve spent my life around animals from small to large, domestic to farm. I have always had a deep compassion for animals. As a child I always wanted to be around and with animals wanting to grow up working with them in any way. I have 5 years of experience working on a dairy farm and have worked at a doggy daycare. In 2023 I got my first puppy as an adult. Since then I have rescued 1, and had 2 rehomed to me as well. In my free time a few days a week I volunteer at the CHS taking dogs out for the day giving them a break from the shelter, showing them what everyday life looks like. Animals are already a huge part of my everyday life, so dog walking fits very naturally into my routine. I have a flexible schedule with availability every other week from 4:30pm–10:00pm, and on alternating weeks from 7:00am–10:00pm. I enjoy getting out for walks, spending time with dogs, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away or busy. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by sticking to their normal routines, giving them lots of attention, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I understand how important trust, patience, and consistency are when caring for someone else’s pet.
About: I’ve had 5 dogs in my household since I was born. I trained 2 out of the five as I got older. I have pet sitted before and I have an absolute love for dogs. Currently we have adopted a puppy from fostering, we absolutely love her! We don’t know the breed or how big she will get but she’s been an absolute delight in our household! I always enjoy a good walk myself or a visit to a family friendly park with other dogs. Currently working on dog parks with my own puppy at home! Over the summer months would like to walk more dogs as my job is currently slow. I love the outdoors so I definitely enjoy taking my puppy for walks and to parks with nice scenic views. We enjoy visiting other dogs for play time for socialization! I enjoy playing with toys with our puppy, chasing a ball outside or teaching her how to be without a leash. We always use treats to learn new skills!
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with a poodle and now share my life with my beautiful Brittany Spaniel, so I truly understand how much our dogs mean to us—they’re family. I treat every dog in my care like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I pay close attention to their personality and needs so they have a happy, stress-free experience. Being a true dog person means I know how important trust is, and my goal is always to care for your dog as if they were my own. At the moment I have a very flexible schedule while I look for a more permanent job, which makes pet care a great fit for my routine. I’m newly pregnant and already spend a lot of my time with my own dog, so caring for other dogs throughout the day feels very natural to me. Because I have my own Brittany Spaniel, I already have a daily routine of walks, feeding times, and making sure dogs get plenty of attention and exercise. I just need to make sure I’m home in the evenings for my dog’s dinner, but I’m very open to working out schedules that work well for everyone. I love the idea of spending my days with dogs and making sure they feel cared for, happy, and safe. At the moment I’m offering pet care in clients’ homes, as I’m not able to host other animals in my home right now. I’m happy to come to your home to care for your pet so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. When I care for pets, I focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after. This includes walks, playtime, enrichment, feeding, and of course lots of cuddles and attention. I also make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel relaxed while you’re away. My goal is always to treat your pet like family and give them the same love and care I give my own dog. P.s will be moving soon so having dogs in my house will change.
About: Hi! I’m Maria, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs—as well as cats with all kinds of personalities. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, potty training, feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after pets, administering oral medication when instructed, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I understand that every animal is different, so I always take the time to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable and happy. For dog walks, I typically offer 30- or 60-minute walks, making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, and enrichment while staying safe at all times. During drop-in visits, I feed pets, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, give medications if needed, and spend quality time playing or relaxing with them—whatever they enjoy most. If I’m providing house sitting or overnight care, I’ll stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule to reduce stress while you’re away. I’ll also keep your home tidy and respect your space. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. If an emergency ever arises, I will contact you immediately and, if necessary, seek veterinary care based on the instructions you’ve provided. I’m calm under pressure and always put your pet’s well-being first. I know how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member, which is why I’ll send regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how they’re doing. I have reliable transportation, a flexible schedule, and experience caring for both dogs and cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you return. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet, and I look forward to becoming someone you can trust whenever you need reliable, compassionate care. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and pet care throughout the week. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s usual schedule and provide reliable, consistent care whenever you need it. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. During walks, I always keep dogs securely leashed unless instructed otherwise in a safe, enclosed area. In your home, I’ll treat both your pet and your space with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and secure. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine love for animals and my firsthand experience as both a pet owner and pet sitter. As a previous pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and caring to look after your pets. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, providing companionship, and maintaining their routines to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their personality, needs, and preferences. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their furry family members are happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. As a rotational worker, I have two weeks off at a time, which gives me the flexibility and availability to dedicate quality time to caring for pets. During my time off, I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals through dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. Having been a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of maintaining consistent feeding, exercise, play, and companionship routines to keep pets happy and comfortable. I tailor my care to each pet's needs and the service being provided. For dog walking, I ensure pets get safe exercise, fresh water, and plenty of attention. For drop-in visits, I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, medication (if required), litter box cleaning, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. For pet sitting in a client's home, I maintain the pet's normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress, including feeding schedules, walks, exercise, and lots of affection. As a former pet owner and experienced dog and cat sitter, I understand the importance of reliability, patience, and keeping owners updated on their pet's well-being.

“Karlee is an amazing sitter! Our Jasper spent 2 weeks with her while we were gone and we constantly got updates! Not just words but pictures as well! She is so flexible with us and we appreciate it. Jasper enjoyed his time and he came back healthy and happy as well as extremely tired! Highly recommend her as a sitter and we will be using her again in the future. 😊”
“Alexis sat for our two dogs for two nights and they were well taken care of while we were gone. She ensured that they went on their walks, fed, and fully cuddled during their stay!

I highly recommend Yulina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you so much for everything!”
“I have never felt more comfortable and relaxed leaving my pup as I had with Lisa! She is so caring and attentive and made Maximus feel so loved and welcome! She even stayed next to Maximus on his first night as she sensed some separation anxiety and just to make him feel safe and secure !That was so very much appreciated and so very very thoughtful! I loved the daily updates and pictures! It was comforting to know he was ok and very well looked after! ❤️It was great that he has some wonderful socialisation with her three pups and two cats!!❤️ I will always ask Lisa as to her availability for any future pet sitting needs! I highly recommend Lisa to anyone who is looking for pet boarding 🌹”
About: Erin & I have had 3 dogs most of our relationship (10+ Years strong), and each had dogs growing up, they're just the best to lean a shoulder on :) Your dog would be treated as part of our family for the duration they are with us - We'd ensure that they have enough stimulation, or as much as they need - We love getting to know dogs and their different personalities! Erin is a certified dog groomer so we can provide add-ons if required. (Limited Services at the moment but hoping to expand with a home setup soon) In order to ensure your dog is comfortable, cuddled and loved while you're away we will give them attention through the days as we both work from home. Ensuring they will never feel alone. So they usually fit in really easily! Fully fenced yard. We allow our dogs free reign of the house (other than sleeping with us!) but we will provide a safe/seperate space for your dog at night to sleep in peace.
“Highly recommend! Rachel was so welcoming and awesome with our puppies. We would 100% recommend and we will be back! Our dogs had a blast and so good to have a home away from home environment for them.”
“Suzanne was great! She communicated well with us and sent lots of pictures. She has a great backyard that our dogs enjoyed. They came home happy and healthy. Would book with her again!”

“Ashima took amazing care of our golden retriever and treated her like part of the family. No matter the weather, she made sure she got her walks and runs, along with plenty of love, attention, and games. We really appreciated her care and would happily trust her again.”
About: Use this promo code: PAIGEP96905 if it’s for your time booking on Rover! ($20 off your first booking) Thanks for checking me out on Rover! My name is Paige, and I’m certified in Pet First-Aid and also a Fear Free Certified Professional. I am new to rover but not new to pet care. When choosing my services, you can be confident you’re choosing someone who has a strong love for animals and who takes your pet care seriously as well as keeping your pets safe. I am passionate in pursuing a professional career dog boarding and training; I am currently making my way through the necessary trainings and certifications to get there. Your pet will always be in good hands with me and very loved! Animals have been a love in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets, I knew I wanted one of my own one day. At a young age, I began caring for pets of family, family friends, neighbours and coworkers. I eventually got a pup of my own and enjoyed training her as a puppy into adulthood! I’d love the opportunity to also care for your fur-family! Your pets well-being, safety and health are a priority in my home and when out for walks in the neighbourhood. I am excited to give each dog the love and care they need to have the best day, always caring for them as I would my own pup. Initial meet and greets are always complimentary to ensure full comfort. I enjoy going out for walks with my dog, Lexie, on a daily basis. Walks range between 20-45 minutes at a time, 1-3x a day. It would be a pleasure to include another friend with her as well! I work from home majority of the time which allows me to be home and available for pet care as needed. I offer daycare on the days I plan to be home, and I offer boarding for 1-2 dogs from the same home and adjust my work schedule as needed for their care. I follow all instructions for pet care with diet restrictions, feeding times, exercise needs, playtime needs as well as needed affection. My girl has severe allergies, and we are a friendly home that caters to these sensitivities. I have dividers in my home to separate them at meal times if needed for allergy purposes as well. I am new to Rover as a sitter, but not new to pet care and offering safe pet care to family, friends, and recommendations through them. I’m currently pursuing the educational requirements to become a professional dog trainer and my passion is to build a successful business helping families to care and train their pets. I currently offer 1-2 spots for boarding and daycare and I have a dream to upgrade one day, to run a pet resort here in Calgary! I offer gentle and positive-reinforcing training and care within my home and also have a friendly dog. She is well trained, submissive, and extremely gentle with all dogs, including tiny breeds. She gets along with all animals and loves company! My home is very safe for providing care and puppy-proofed as needed! I am dedicated to providing a safe environment for boarding and daycare.
