About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for pets since I was young, helped friends and neighbours, and spent three years fostering dogs as a family. I truly love what I do. Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine. I’m home regularly, with plenty of time for walks, play, cuddles, feeding and keeping a comfortable, calm environment. I love making sure every dog feels safe, happy and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I provide a clean, secure and loving environment with plenty of supervision, outdoor time, play and rest. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, routine and needs, and treat every pet as an individual and part of the family.
“It was so wonderful to meet Susan and her husband during our meet and greet. They are such a lovely, caring couple. Our little Maltese settled in very quickly and loved playing and snuggling with their dog Penny. I received several photos of our dog looking relaxed and happy which was so appreciated. I would highly recommend Susan to anyone who wants a worry free vacation. Five stars + for sure.”
About: I’ve always enjoyed caring for animals and have hands-on experience with dogs. I helped care for my family’s dog for five years, including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they were happy and well cared for.

I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to providing pets with a safe, comfortable, and caring environment while their owners are away.

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.

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 have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds ever since I was a child. I have always had a passion for animals and have never lived in a home without them. Friends, families, neighbours, and colleagues have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and brush their furry loved ones. I have two dogs (Buddo and Eevee) who are trained off leash and on leash; they are incredibly friendly and love to play with other dogs. I am a teacher with full-time availability for doggy day care, walks, or checking in on your furry loved ones in the summer! Once the school year starts up, I am only available on weekends. When caring at my own home: I have two friendly dogs of my own, with a very large backyard for play time. The yard is split into two separately fenced areas, which allows for some quiet time from my own dogs if necessary. When caring in your home: I am comfortable crating your furry friend, administering medication, and following special feeding instructions if necessary. I send regular photo updates, along with feeding/water updates to ensure you know that your loved ones are safe and cared for.
“Sonya was amazing! Being a new puppy owner, this was all pretty new to us. She made it such a wonderful first experience for us and our pup. Great loved spending the day with Sonya and her dogs and we could see by the videos, pics and message that were sent throughout the day, that she was being very well-loved! Greta is excited to go back for another visit :)”

About: I have a diploma in canine care, behaviour and welfare. I was a dog handler in a luxury pet hotel and was at the forefront of the creation of one of the UK’s most successful raw dog food companies. I adore animals, and spend every moment I can with as many as I can. I resonate with the quote “A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself” and will devote my life to ensure every animal I encounter feels the love it deserves. I have 2 dogs back in England who I miss terribly and hope to bring to Canada one day. In the meantime, I will solemnly swear to take care of your babies as I would my own. Most of my early mornings, afternoons and evenings are free, in which I can care for your wonderful companions. I am happy to walk, play, feed and even take to the dog park for some much needed energy release! I have a truck, so if your dog loves car rides, I can make that happen too! I never let our furry friends out of my sight. Whether in my own home, or yours - all hazards are removed and a safe space will be provided to ensure your beloved pet stays safe and happy! I am courteous, clean, tidy and respectful.

Whether it's playing, training, or simply enjoying each other's company, we cherish every moment spent with our beloved pups! Our passion for dog care has led friends and family to entrust us with the responsibility of babysitting and training their own fur babies. As proud parents of a rescue dog, we understand the unique emotional needs that dogs may have. We believe in giving them the support and affection they need to thrive, especially those who have experienced hardships in their past. We are committed to providing the support and care that every dog deserves, with a focus on creating a safe, nurturing environment that promotes their health and well-being. Every dog we care for is treated with the same level of love and compassion as our own, and we look forward to sharing that passion with every pup we meet! As someone who works from home and has a flexible schedule, we have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend. We devote our undivided attention to your pups, providing them with the care and companionship they need. We understand the importance of frequent potty breaks, and we are happy to accommodate their schedule to make sure they are comfortable and content throughout the day.

We can take leisurely walks or explore the park's many trails, providing your pup with a chance to destress and engage their senses. With plenty of outdoor and indoor spaces to play and relax, your furry friend will feel right at home in our care.
About: I’ve had a love of animals since I was a kid and grew up with dogs & cats. We lost our two dogs to old age so would love to extend my home out to caring for your dog while you’re away. I am a stay at home mom so your dog(s) will rarely be alone. I worked at a kennel for two years so have vast experience with all different types of breeds/personalities and have experience administering medications if need be. Your pet will be treated like family in our care. I have open and flexible availability. I work from home part-time so will be home with your pet at all times and will be able to go on frequent walks with them. We have a fenced yard with lots of dog toys and a big house for them to roam. I have a fenced yard and designated pet area inside home for pets to relax. If you are using my pet services I do need your animal to be good with cats and small children as we have a 2 and 8 year old.
About: I have a Goldendoodle who has taught me that every dog has their own language — whether it’s pawing the bell on the door for her to do her business, licking my face just before its her favorite time of the day FOOD TIME, or the silent ‘I need cuddles now’ stare. I don’t just ‘watch dogs,’ I tune into their quirks, rhythms, and comforts so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I will take the time to learn your furry friends quirks and routines so they feel truly at home, even when you’re away. My goal is simple: keep tails wagging and hearts at ease. I bring patience, consistency, and a genuine love for animals to every visit, whether it’s sticking to potty training routines, making sure they feel safe, or adding in extra snuggles when they need them most. Let’s give your pup the best care (and the happiest tail wags) while you’re away!" I work from home, so I’m available for playtime, and providing all the attention throughout the day. Flexible to match your pup’s routine and keep them happy! I can also take your furry friends on walks but that will be after 6pm, even though I work from home I need to be present just in case there is a meeting or call. Your pup will feel right at home! With a secure fenced yard for safe play and a cozy, calm environment indoors, I provide a loving space where tails wag and dogs feel cared for every moment.

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 full time in the city and I hardly ever leave the province and can dedicate as much time needed with your fur babies as you need! I’m very good with early mornings and late night visits. 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 am only working a full day on Friday's and my husband works out of a home office so I am very flexible regarding availability. 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: My love for Dogs since i was child.My friends love having me sit their dogs for when they are on vacation.They all love me and i love them too. I take my dog out for morning and evening walks daily.I do weekly grooming of my dog at home and make sure she is clean and healthy. I provide them their space and listen to them when they are in need such as their Food,Water or washroom Breaks.I even try to communicate with them and play with them.
“Vahista was awesome with our two big girls who are not the easiest to handle! My girls love her and they are well taken care of on their weekend walks!! Can’t wait to keep this relationship going with the girls and Vahista🤗💛”
“I couldn’t be happier with Liza’s dog walking services. She was very friendly, prompt, and flexible when our schedule changed at the last minute. Communicating and scheduling with her was a breeze. This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little bit apprehensive trusting our pup to a stranger, but it was immediately obvious Liza cares a lot about animals. Teddy absolutely loved his walks, and I felt at ease knowing he was in such great hands. She kept me updated on his adventures, and varied her routes so he could explore more scenery. I look forward to using her services in the future! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was a young teenager. Dogs are truly my passion. I have been caring for digs of all ages from neonatal puppies, to senior dogs and am confident I can provide care that is just like family to your dog. I have pets of my own who get daily care (walks, play time, training time) daily. I am excited for the opportunity to care for other dogs too! In my home my pets are on a daily routine, we get up in the morning to potty and play, then relax for a bit before we go out on a walk. We train throughout the day in small sessions. Routine is the best for any dog.
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: 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: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them has grown into both a passion and part of my professional work. I have 7 years of hands-on pet care experience and am a certified canine nutritionist, with additional education in holistic animal nutrition. I’m also a very proud dog mom to my Brittany Spaniel, Lula, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I treat every dog as an individual and take the time to learn their personality, routine, comfort level and needs. My experience with canine nutrition has given me an even deeper understanding of dogs, including feeding routines, treats, sensitivities and the importance of following each dog’s individual care instructions. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk or stopping in for a visit, my goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is receiving attentive, knowledgeable and loving care. 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. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes, where dogs can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and routine. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, feeding routine, walking habits, boundaries and individual needs. I follow your care instructions closely and treat your home and your dog with the same respect and care I would want for my own.

“Alfie had a great time staying with Karlee. She sent update photos and was easy to communicate with. He looked so happy and at home. We’ll definitely be using her in the future :)”
“I can’t thank Joanne enough for taking such great care of my husky Mya! I have a hard time trusting anyone with Mya as huskies are known to be escape artists. Joanne sent me photos and kept us up to date throughout Myas full stay! We will be a regular with Joanne?”
“Lisa is sooooo great! Nothing but good words for her! I originally booked a different sitter but that sitter canceled and asked us to take Soba back as they can't handle my furbaby. It was so stressful, but Lisa was my saviour!!! She agreed to take care of Soba and didn't think twice about taking him. Soba even got along with her dog. She sent me pictures to update me whats going on with him and their daily activities. I feel so happy knowing that my furbaby is really taken care of. Thank you so much Lisa! I appreciate you. I would definitely recommend and use her service again. Thank you.”
“Tawnya & Jeremy take good care of our dog whenever we are out of town. He gets to play with their kiddos and loves hanging out on their deck! We get regular updates from them and have never had an issue. Would highly recommend Tawnya and Jeremy!”
“Lisa was great! She made our dog feel so relaxed and cared for. She took steps to make him feel at home and comfortable. Lisa sent picture regularly of Berkley playing and smiling. I’m pretty sure he wishes he lived there all the time because he spend the first 2 days back at home moping. That’s a sign of great care!!”
“Em was a great host for our dog Morty. She had sent several pictures and updates of the time they had spend together. ( they had a great time together!!) Will most definitely use them again!”
“We were very happy with Lucy’s stay at Penny’s home. She was very content after picking her up and Penny kept in contact with us. We would take her there again for sure.”
“I've been going to Petrina for a couple years and I wouldn't trust my dog with anyone but her. Prada is so well taken care of and relaxed at her home. I love the updates and the photos. I can't imagine boarding her anywhere else.”
“We needed someone to watch our dog when we went away for a family holiday, and leaving our dog at a kennel just did not feel comfortable to me. It gave me such peace of mind, knowing that Lacey would be in someone's house, and receiving the attention she has been accustomed to. Lacey had so much fun at Jeff's house and she was well taken care of. I will definitely use Jeff again when we need to board our doggie. I would highly recommend Jeff to any friends and family.”

About: One‑on‑One Care Only I’m not just a sitter - I’ve personally raised, trained, medically cared for, and rehomed rescue dogs with every kind of personality. I’ve looked after dogs from intake all the way through training, post‑surgery recovery, and final adoption, including interviewing families, checking references, and ensuring each dog found the right home. At home, your pup gets two full‑time adults who work remotely, live quietly, and give constant supervision. We have a multi‑level home, a fenced yard, baby‑gate separation zones, and even a dedicated dog room when needed. We use routines, positive reinforcement, and motion‑detection cameras to keep dogs safe and comfortable. I’m confident with all sizes, puppies, anxious dogs, and dogs with medical needs (except subcutaneous fluids). My wife is gentle, loving, and incredibly attuned - she’s the kind of person who wakes up at the slightest whimper and helps nervous dogs feel safe. We don’t have children, we’re home all day, and we genuinely love having a dog around. Caring for dogs has been part of my life since childhood, and volunteering at Calgary Animal Rescue Society has only deepened that passion. I offer a high degree of care and attention to detail to your dog - one dog at a time, with all the love they deserve. Pet care is naturally woven into our everyday life. Both my wife and I work 100% remotely, so we’re home all day and able to give consistent supervision, companionship, and structure. We start our mornings with a potty break, followed by calm indoor time while we work. Throughout the day, we take regular breaks for training, enrichment, and play - including hallway fetch, outdoor time in our fenced backyard, and structured leash practice. Because we’re homebirds with a quiet, multi‑level house, caring for a dog fits seamlessly into our routine. We maintain predictable feeding times, bathroom schedules, and rest periods, and we use baby gates and a dedicated areas when a pup needs space or decompression. In the evenings, we focus on bonding, gentle play, and winding down. We’ve cared for many rescue dogs full‑time, so supporting a dog’s needs, whether behavioral, medical, or emotional is already part of our normal rhythm. Having a dog around genuinely improves our day, and we love giving one dog at a time our full attention and a calm, loving home. When caring for pets, I focus on creating a safe, structured, and comfortable environment tailored to each dog’s needs. In my home, dogs benefit from a quiet multi‑level space, a fenced backyard for outdoor time, and designated areas like baby‑gate sections or a dedicated space when they need privacy or decompression. I use positive reinforcement and calm introductions to help dogs settle in confidently. For clients who prefer care in a specific manner, I follow their established routines like feeding, walks, medication, crate use, and household rules. So their dog feels secure and understood. I pay close attention to behavior, comfort, and stress signals, and I keep owners updated with clear communication and photos. My goal is always to provide reliable, attentive care that respects each dog’s personality and needs.
“Everyone who believes that their pets are their family wants to believe that they are leaving them with someone that they can trust and who will treat their pets like they are THEIR family. Someone who looking out for them while you cannot. If you are looking for someone who meets those criteria, you have found the right person. Aimee is that person. She was amazing! From a pre-visit where we met with Aimee so she could get to know Willow and Koko and throughout their stay with her, we received updates and pictures that proved that they were comfortable... perhaps a bit TOO comfortable. :) We live in Cochrane and would never hesitate to drive out of the way to leave them with Aimee again if she was available. Put your mind at peace and entrust your pets with Aimee.”
About: With over 10 years of experience taking care of animals, I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you’re away from your fur baby. Whether it’s daily walks, energetic play sessions, or cozy couch snuggles, I treat every dog like my own. I'm attentive, reliable, and happy to stick to your pup’s exact routine, from feeding and medication schedules to their favorite walking paths. I currently work from home full time so I have plenty of time for walks and care throughout the day. I have an open schedule so i am very flexible. I'm also available for boarding. I have a spacious townhouse and a friendly Collie at my home. She has her own space and I have plenty of pathways and green areas for activities around me. I also travel to offleash parks to have some play sessions with my dog and would be happy to bring yours along!
“Max had a great time staying with Tao and Kevin. He stayed with them for 2 weeks while we were away. They treated him like one of their own. They sent us daily pictures and updates while we were away. We were very happy with their service and would use them again.”
“Jing was very wonderful with Sheikah. She was prompt and clear in her communication with me. She sent pictures of Sheikah to me. I was very happy with her service and felt that my dog was cared for and safe with her.”
About: Hi! My name is Zubie. What sets me apart is personalized, flexible care. I’ve been caring for pets and homes for about 8 years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs, while treating your home with the same care and respect I give my own. Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in their home, I provide dependable, loving care tailored to what works best for you and your pet. Hello 😊. I go by Zubie. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m comfortable building walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and regular check-ins into my day, while keeping each pet’s usual schedule as consistent as possible. I also have flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to accommodate different routines, care needs, and last-minute changes when possible. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I tailor my care to each pet and the service booked. In my home, pets have access to a safe, comfortable environment and a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, along with walks, playtime, cuddles, and their normal routines. I use proper pet-care and safe walking techniques, with safety being my top priority. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule and care instructions while treating their home with the same respect I give my own. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, special routines, and individual needs so every pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Dane and Ciaran were amazing with Pablo! They took him on lots of walks and sent daily pictures. Pablo loved playing with their dog, Toby, and I would book them again any time I’m in need of a sitter. Communication was also great and they were extremely responsive during the whole booking process and any time I had a question while we were away.”
“Indy was well taken care of and they treated her like their own doggo! I loved getting the updates each day, and was confident she was being taken good care of. They were a lovely family and I would recommend them any day!”
“Kristina and Ben (and their daughter) were fantastic! Bella was well cared for and was a happy puppy when I picked her up. It was the longest I've been away from Bella and my first time using Rover - and I'd for sure book with them again as all my stress was at ease while I was away. Thanks so much to Kristina and Ben!”
