“Mariana and her family was amazing! They took Xylo on lots of walks and made sure she was fed her medicine! When Xylo didn’t eat they went out of their way to buy chicken for her and tried to get her more! There was plenty of updates as well!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we could not be happier! Chelsea was absolutely wonderful. She kept us updated all day with adorable pictures of our dog, which gave us total peace of mind. She took our pup for several walks and showed genuine love and affection the entire time. It is clear she truly cares about animals. We will definitely be booking with her again and recommend to our friends / anyone looking for a dog sitter!"”
“Sonja hosted our little poodle for a week and we can’t even begin to say how happy we are with her care. Sonja and her family went above and beyond to care for our pet. Her kids are very sensitive and caring around pets. Sonja was very attentive at the time of instructions and was very organized. She regularly updated us and was patient with our dog….a special mention that she and her family happily agreed to host her for an extra night as our flight was delayed. We will be reaching to her in future without question. What an amazing host and family!”
“A wonderful experience booking with Virginia. We needed last minute care for our two dogs while we went out of town for ~48 hours. She was quick to respond and very accommodating. Would definitely book with Virginia again and highly recommend!”
“Our dog Emma had the best time with Jinny. Jinny was great at keeping us up to date on how Emma was doing. I definitely recommend Jinny and we'll be using her services again.”
“Holli was incredible to work with and took such good care of our dog, who needed some special accommodations. We would recommend her in a heartbeat and look forward to using her services again!”
“Jessica welcomes my dog into her pack. I was provided pictures and an update on how he was settling. He was well looked after and I appreciate her level of excellent care.”
“Thank you Michelle for taking such good care of our pup Rylee. It was clear from the start that she was comfortable with you and your family and it was wonderful to go away and know that our pup was safe and well cared for. We will book again I am sure!”
“My boy was at her place overnight during Christmas and she was so quick to reply and accommodating for us! Kept us updated on how he was doing, sent photos and videos! Also gave him a Christmas cookie treat! 10/10 recommend booking with her! Amazing and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Thank you SOOO much Wendy Ashley and Christine for taking exceptional care of Belle. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for her. The photos and texts let us feel connected with Belle while we were away. Thank you again. We look forward to having Belle stay with you again.”
“Our girl was well cared for. Yvonne was open to a meet-and-greet, and kept up a steady stream of photos and updates. We highly recommend Yvonne, and we will use her pet-sitting services again.”
“Penny had a great time with Andrea and Bernal. Everything was smooth with drop up and pick up on our end and we got photo updates, which was wonderful! We’ll definitely see if they can watch Penny again :)”
“We were incredibly fortunate to have Benjamin take care of our dog, Scooby, while we were away. From the first meeting, it was clear that Benjamin is a true animal lover with a genuine passion for what he does. Throughout our trip, Benjamin provided exceptional care for Scooby. He adhered to Scooby's daily routine with precision and ensured he received plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles. Benjamin's dedication and attention to detail were remarkable; he even took note of Scooby's special dietary needs and unique quirks. What truly set Benjamin apart was his communication. He sent us regular updates, complete with photos and videos, which reassured us that Scooby was happy and well taken care of. This thoughtful gesture made our time away so much more enjoyable. When we returned, Scooby was in great spirits and it was evident that he had been well-loved and cared for. Benjamin is trustworthy, reliable, and has a wonderful way with dogs. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking him again in the future. Thank you, Benjamin, for your exceptional care and making Scooby feel at home!”
“Diane is the best dog sitter that ever existed! I can’t say enough good things and am so glad I left my old man Dexter in her care. The only reason to possibly give a bad review is so she won’t be all booked up when my dog needs her”
“Shona is an outstanding pet sitter! Teddy was immediately comfortable with Shona, and enjoyed a very busy day with her and her family. It takes a special person to calm an anxious dog and we are grateful for the time and effort that went into Teddy's stay.”
“Hugo was relaxed and well looked after even withthe extra last minute care he required all the updates with photos was wonderful . we will definetely leave Hugo with Katrina and Ryan again. it was nice for Hugo to make friends with Rocky.”
“My baby came home so tired, loved, and happy! We got regular updates and so many photos. I didn’t have to worry for a second. It was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be using Stacey’s services again.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Murray and Paddi gave to my dog, Charlie! They went above and beyond to make sure he was well looked after, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable with them. It’s such a relief to know that Charlie was in such great hands. Highly recommend and would definitely give them a 5-star rating!”

“I would highly recommend Virginia to all of my furry parents. She was even able to assist me when I had a household issue. Virginia was amazing, and my cats were super happy when I returned home”
“When we decided to go away for a few nights we knew we couldn’t leave our beloved kitten with just anyone. At first we were very apprehensive leaving our house and kitten in the care of a stranger felt strange, but as soon as we met Samana we felt we could trust her. She was very approachable and down to earth, eager to help and listen to instructions, she hit it off with our kitten immediately and we had no qualms about leaving hi. In her care. She did an amazing job of looking after his needs and providing him with playtime and affection when he wanted it, she followed all instructions provided and sent many photos and videos so we felt like we were part of his day to day life. We highly recommend Samana if you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter for your pet and home.”
About: With my law enforcement background, I can surely say I have great experience with security and giving safety not only to people, but also to animals! And as an avid outdoorsy person, I love to do walks outside and be one with nature. I also have experience in training dog with tricks! Being in law enforcement has given taught me patience and confidence. I currently have a 7 to 3pm job Mondays to Fridays. So from 4pm onwards I am free. Saturday and Sunday I am free whole day. As a experienced security agent, I have very keen observation skills. Once I notice something amiss I would do my best to keep everyone, and pets safe. For dog sitting, specifically little dogs I do my best to be near them when walking at parks for easy access.
“Madison was fantastic. She showed up to watch my 3 cats every day right on time. She provided pictures and they were great! When I got home my cats were relaxed and happy which means that they were stress free for the week. Couldn't ask for more!”
“First time using a pet sitter and Shane made the process easy. They were punctual, reliable, kind and a respectful house sitter. Corina was relaxed and happy when we returned. Would hire again.”
“We really loved having Sam watching our little Suki, and housesitting. There was never a time we worried about our pet, and Sam sent several photos of how affectionate Suki was during the time we were away! Everything was perfect when we returned home, and our pet was extremely happy!! Would love to continue to invite Sam into our home to hang out with Suki whenever we travel 😃”
“We were going to be out of town for ten days, and Jason agreed to take care of our cats. One of our cats is an orange boy who is extremely social, and our other calico is usually quite shy. Jason brought out the best in our cats while we were away. Our orange knew when he was coming and would wait by the door for him, and our calico didn’t run from him as if he was a vacuum cleaner. Every visit was accompanied by pictures of each cat (unless our calico was snoozing in our boxspring) and everything went off without a hitch! We never once felt concerned that our cats weren’t getting the attention they needed, and the pictures every visit helped with how much we missed them while we were away. All instructions were closely followed, and communication was consistent and concise. We will be re-booking with Jason for future cat-sitting needs!”
About: Cats might be my favourite type of pet, I’ve been close with them for my whole life and most of my pet care experience is with cats. However, I’m expecting baby #2 leaving me unable to handle the litter box, although I will consider accepting this task should safe practices be available such as proper sanitization products and dust mask protection. We can work together to figure out a plan that works for your kitty.
About: Hi! My name is Alina. I am a full time student at the University of Alberta. I plan on becoming an elementary school teacher! I love all animals, especially dogs! I have a dog of my own, so I am quite familiar with a walking schedule, feeding, bathing and overall caring for a dog. I have also been walking and pet-sitting neighbours’, friends’ and family’s dogs for quite some time now (in both the summer and the winter months). Additionally, I have worked with dogs of all sizes, strengths, and energy levels! I would love a chance to find a fixed / stable schedule to become a part-time dog walker! My schedule is quite flexible and open and I have my own vehicle, so timing and distance will not be an issue. I look forward to hearing from you! My courses are all currently online so I have lots of availability, especially during weekdays when pups may need a walk or a bathroom break! When arriving to a pup’s home to visit, or to take them for a walk, my goal is to create a safe and fun environment for myself and the dog! Whether that be through lots of walks, treats, or cuddles, the ultimate goal is to create a meaningful bond with the pup!
“Blayne is so understanding and professional. It's obvious she truly cares about my three cats. She always sends entertaining videos and updates throughout the stay. Thanks for taking such good care of Bobby, Poppy and Otti!”

“Colby was wonderful! She took great care of my senior cat. She was great with communicating, easy to work with, and very flexible. I had no concerns and total peace of mind while I was away. Would 100% have her look after my cat again.”
“I was feeling very nervous about leaving my cat alone with a stranger to check up on him whole I was gone. However, my cat instantly warmed up to Robtn who took the time to care for him well. I really appreciated her detailed reports after each visit which made me feel more at ease about leaving him alone. I would definitely hire Robyn again.”
“Iris did a great job visiting our 3 cats, making sure their food/water/litter were full/clean and making them feel loved. We loved receiving photo updates of each one on our trip! One of our cats needed extra attention and Iris was able to make sure he was looked after. Would use her again! Thanks Iris!”
“Robbin is the best :) She's very kind and easy to chat with, and I am so happy with the care she gave my 2 cats while I was away for 2.5 weeks. I had Robbin come on the opposite days to a girlfriend of mine who was also helping to look over my boys, and it brought me so much comfort knowing that both her and my friend were in contact with each other the whole time. Robbin kept me in the loop and sent photos - it sounds terrible to say but, I could totally forget I even had cats while I was on vacation because I knew they were both in very capable and caring hands, hahaha. I would absolutely recommend her to someone looking for a cat sitter, and I would also hire her again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much Robbin!”

About: I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, counter surfers, etc. I have experience with all ages from puppies, to seniors. Shy or nervous dogs are no problem! I have a flexible schedule so I'm able to care for your pets on weekdays and weekends. I am available during the day, evenings and weekends. I have a very friendly three year old dog who loves to play and gets along well with all dogs. I have a fenced yard, with plenty of room.
“Harika is an excellent sitter. I contacted her to dog sit (with drop off in 30 minutes) and she responded promptly and accepted my request. Then later I asked for an hour extension and she accommodated me. I ended up being an extra half hour. During my dog’s stay (5 1/2 hrs) she sent me many pictures, fed and walked my dog. The home is very nice and clean. I would absolutely request services again when I have to be in Edmonton. Thanks again!”
“Great experience! She was very responsive, accommodated our last-minute request, and had great communication throughout the day. She took Rodeo on a walk and sent lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. He was well taken care of, and we’d definitely book with her again!”
“Jason was unbelievably kind, and willing to take on our girl with high anxiety who can be a bit challenging, without hesitation. He is very responsive, and I never had any doubts about trusting him with our girl. We were travelling to the area, but if we’re ever back in Edmonton, I would 100% use Jason again!”
“As a first time fur parent I am greatful that we found Elizabeth to watch Toffy! She took such amazing care of him and sent us pictures throughout the stay. We could tell by the photo that he was having a great time. We will definitely be rebook her again and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and caring home to leave their fur babies while they are away.”
About: I’m an experienced dog owner and have two female dogs myself Toffee, a 4-year-old German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix, and Luna, an 8-month-old Border Collie/Husky mix. I also look after my friends dogs regularly. I’m new to Rover but not new to caring for dogs. I work from home and have a fully fenced big yard, and a dedicated doggo bonus room for your dog to relax and play, so our pup will have plenty of company and supervision throughout the day. 🏡 A spoiled dogs club • Fully fenced yard with a fairly large sod area for outdoor time, with 2 dog beds in the yard • Dedicated bonus room for dogs to relax and decompress • Comfy doggo couch for lounging and napping • 4 dog beds throughout the house • Two friendly dogs of my own, Toffee & Luna, who love making new friends 🐾
“Extremely courteous and caring experience today. My dog was very calm coming home after a full day with Chelsea. Even tho it was raining non stop, she still fit in multiple pee breaks for my very reluctant little dog. Thank you for taking care of Mr. Lolo for me today”
“Anna made the experience effortless and my dog Coda was spoiled with her. She did more than what I could’ve asked for, such as walks, snacks and a lot of play time and naps ☺️”
“Very happy with the daycare that was provided to my puppy for 3 days. I received constant updates, pictures, videos and communications. This allowed me the peace of mind my Zoey was in great hands. I could genuinely notice that they love animals as well and were excited to spend time with my puppy. Would book again!”
“She was on time, ready for us to come over. I was impressed with her knowledge of dogs and their behaviour. I was worried leaving my puppy in a strange place, so went over the day before just to introduce him and myself. We had a nice chat and I felt better after meeting her and seeing how she related to the other dog in her care. All went well and we will arrange another visit when we need care for Roger. Marcia Forth, dog Mom.”
“Eunji is fantastic with my dog. She takes videos and pictures all throughout the day to let you know how your dog is doing and keeps in touch. She is full of love and you can tell she really loves dogs and takes good care of them. My dog gets excited and happy when he knows he is going over there for the day. I wouldn't want to bring my dog to anyone else.”
“Jessica was very accommodating with an early drop-off for my workday and a later pick-up. She sent lots of photos and videos throughout Nova’s stay, and it was clear from everything she shared that Nova was happy and comfortable with her. She can sometimes be picky about eating her food, but she ate both of her meals while in Jessica’s care. Overall, I was very happy with the care Nova received from Jessica!”
“Linda is an incredible dog sitter! She’s so kind and caring, treating our puppy like one of her own. With her two small dogs as wonderful playmates, our puppy always feels right at home. She’s also quick to respond and keeps us updated, which gives us great peace of mind. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate caregiver for their pet!”
“We have organized a visit with Bret a few times. Never disappoint, he is fully engaged with our dog Luna and his dog plays so good with ours. She always comes home tired and happy and well looked after. Thank you so much Bret ( and Coco) !”
About: I have two dogs, Benny and Leo. Both of them are dog social and friendly. They are both certified wellness dogs and compete in barn hunt trials. Benny knows over 100 tricks (and still learning!) and Leo is also competing in rally obedience trials. We are constantly working towards furthering our training. I use force free and positive reinforcement for training methods. Our days rotate through training, play and rest! I promise a 1:1 training session (topic of choice) and a 30 minute solo walk per day and many many photo updates! I have a fully fenced yard and I take my boys to a private dog park twice a week to run like maniacs. Your dog would be included in all our activities and regular routine! I do require dogs to be crate trained for their stay - both my dogs take an afternoon nap and this allows for me to do the solo walks with each dog. I do expect dogs to be dog social or dog neutral. Safety for all the dogs in my care is my top priority. Our instagram is bennyplusleo if you wanted to see more of how I train and what our days normally look like! I offer day training and boarding from my home. My schedule is made around the needs of the dogs in my care! Dogs will not be left alone for more than 3-4 hours at a time at maximum. Typically we will start the day with some play and then move to 1:1 training sessions for breakfast. Dogs are free to roam my house and can decide to play or lounge. We do a mid day nap for everyone where I will take turns walking the dogs individually. Once all the dog walks are complete the dogs are welcome to free roam the house again to play or relax. I will also use this time to do additional afternoon training sessions! • I try to dog proof my home as much as possible. I have rugs across my main floor to avoid slips. There is nothing out or close to counter edges that your dog can get into. • Dogs are always supervised during playtime, in my backyard or in the basement. I also have motion sensored lights for our potty patch for night time potty. My side yards have additional pens to help prevent dogs from potentially escaping the gates. • All meals are given to each dog separately to ensure that no resource guarding occurs. I have a variety of pens, gates and crates to keep everyone separate when they are being fed.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for the past fifteen years. More recently, over the last four years, I have gravitated towards adopting dogs that either require more care or are older and unlikely to be given a life they deserve. I can handle high energy dogs, I have a schnauzer that requires a lot of attention. He needs frequent walks and quite a bit of exercise chasing his ball. I can also handle dogs that require special care. One of the dogs I adopted was found by my girlfriend and I in terrible conditions after being hit by a car. His back was broken and he was left on the side of the road. We looked after him, changing diapers, and cleaning his body for months until he was able to walk again using three legs. He even became a very great playmate for my schnauzer. He lived a very happy life before ultimately passing. I would be looking to give plenty of time to your dog(s) making sure they are active and cared for as if they were my own. I have plenty of time throughout the day to walk your dog. Also I make sure when I am outside with dogs that it is their time; they get to enjoy the walk at their own pace. On weekends, I can make time to care for your pets as long as I have a notice of 1-2 days. I have an unfenced yard so therefore your dog will be on a leash at all times when we are outside. There are plenty of very nice walking trails right outside my house. I can also take your dog to the park if that is what they like.
“our sweet goose is a little reactive when on leash, which we are working on, and samana handles her with grace and kindness, and understands her body language incredibly well. she is communicative, and keeps you in the loop during walks. she has been an incredible blessing for our busy family, we are so lucky to know samana!”
“First time using Rover and Virginia really put us at ease. She was fantastic with trigger, informative and we really enjoyed the pictures of Trigger while we were away!”
About: My family has always had several pets since my early childhood whose care was primarily the responsibility of my siblings and I, mostly cats and a golden retriever puppy who’s now 11. I’ve cared for neighbour’s pets since the age of 13 and am now accustomed to several different breeds/sizes of dogs, cats, fish, horses, ducks, and snakes! I’m currently a stay-at-home-mom to my very friendly and energetic 10 month old son, which leaves me with significant time and freedom to keep your pets happy and healthy! I have no restrictions on my availability so you can be assured your furry family members will be thoroughly cared for! While I unfortunately can’t take pets to my own home, the bright side is that your pets should be nice and comfortable in their familiar space! My son will most often accompany me, but no need to worry if your pets are not child friendly, I’ll always bring a standard play pen to help keep everybody’s babies safe. He is also very familiar with pets and knows how to be gentle with our furry friends!

About: Hi, I'm Barb, and if there's one thing you should know about me, it's this—I will care for your dog as if they were my own. As the proud dog mom of my beloved Sasha, I understand that our dogs aren't "just pets." They're family. That's why every walk is about so much more than exercise. It's about making your dog feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for while you're away. I'm naturally calm, patient, and dependable. As a Reiki Master and lifelong caregiver, I've learned that animals respond to gentle energy, kindness, and consistency. Whether your dog is bursting with energy, a little nervous, or enjoying their senior years, I'll meet them with compassion and respect for their individual personality. I love being outdoors and believe dogs thrive when they have time to explore, sniff, play, and simply enjoy the world around them. Every walk is tailored to your dog's pace and needs, never rushed. When you trust me with your dog, you're trusting someone who understands how much they mean to you. I'll keep them safe, give them my full attention, and treat them with the same love and care I give my own Sasha. My goal is simple: a happy dog, a worry-free owner, and a tail that can't stop wagging. I am flexible with my time and am available anytime. I have experience with friends dogs going for walks and playing with them. They all have different temperaments and needs. I will come to your home to look after your pet for dog sitting, and dog walking services. Knowing temperament with other dogs and people as well as energy level and things your dog likes to do. As well as any special diet needs.
About: I grew up with two dogs who I loved dearly. During the summer while I was in school I worked at a dog kennel caring for and walking dogs of all sizes. I am very reliable and will give your pet(s) the care and attention they need. I love the outdoors and look forward to playing outside and going on lots of walks. I feel confident in my ability to handle and take care of all sizes of dogs, as my kennel job gave me lots of experience dealing with all different dogs. Your best friend(s) will be safe and happy with me. I look forward to meeting new people and helping them care for their of their pet(s). Cant wait to start working with rover!
About: I am fortunate to have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available to you and your pet on short notice. Not only is my schedule accommodating, so is my home and my pet education. Over the past 14ys, I have been closely involved with many different animal orientated facilities. My personal pup was certified with The Chimo Project which is now called CAAWLS. This organization recruits and certifies wellness animals for Animal Assisted Intervention (AAI) services. Involvement with this company was both rewarding for my pup and myself. I also volunteer my time with Dogs With Wings (DWW). A non-profit organization that does amazing things. DWW is changing lives for the better by training dogs to be guide dogs, service dogs, autism dogs and more. Rest assured, your pet will be well loved and in good care during their stay with me.
“Robyn was a lifesaver the other night, my partner and I got scheduled together last minute and we didn’t know what to do with our 12 week old pup. Despite it being last minute and our first time with Robyn, she made things so easy and our pooches loved her! Thank you so much for helping us out!”
About: A lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for all pets, homes, and farm animals. I’m reliable, have my own transportation, and offer flexible, short-notice availability. I have no problem administering medication or taking the time to work on training. Your furry (or scaly!) companions will be well cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—it’s something I truly enjoy. From walking dogs and feeding animals to providing companionship, I build my schedule around each pet’s needs. I’m flexible and committed to making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need, whether it’s a quick visit or a longer stay. When caring for pets in your home, I stick to their routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and exercise schedules, handle medications or special care, and keep your home clean and secure. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs, from playful puppies to senior or special-needs pets.
About: I have several years of hands on experience working in animal shelters and veterinary clinics, where I cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs, as well as shy, reactive, and anxious pups who need a little extra patience and understanding. I’m also a dog owner myself, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own — with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. I work full time at an Animal Shelter currently but I manage my schedule to ensure the pets in my care receive the attention and care they deserve! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible to minimize stress. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and any household rules exactly as provided. I understand how important familiarity is for pets, especially when their owners are away. I provide enrichment through walks, playtime, and mental stimulation tailored to your dog’s energy level and personality. I also monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health and will communicate promptly if I notice anything concerning. I can also send updates with pictures if you want!
About: Throughout the years I have fostered and had family pets. I have cared for older and younger dogs and currently have of my own Blue Heeler Zeus 6/yr. Zeus is a seizure response service dog. When I care for other dogs they are given proper exercise and play time. Your dog will get treated and cared for as if it were my own, making sure they're always comfortable. As a pet sitter, dog boarder, and doggy daycare provider, I understand that leaving your dog with someone else can feel stressful. They’re not “just a dog” — they’re family. ❤️ That’s why I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your pup can feel right at home. Whether they’re here for a few hours of daycare, a full day of play, or an overnight stay, they’ll receive plenty of attention, care, affection, and supervision. 🐶 What your pup can look forward to: ✨ Lots of love and attention 🐾 Safe play and exercise 🛏️ Comfortable downtime and rest ❤️ Individual attention based on their personality and needs 🎾 Playtime and enrichment 📸 Updates so you can relax knowing they're doing well 🏡 A home-style environment rather than feeling like they're simply being “left somewhere” Every dog has their own personality, routine, quirks, and comfort level — and I believe those things matter. My goal is for your pup to leave happy, tired, and already looking forward to their next visit! 🐕💕 Because peace of mind for you means a happy pup while you're away. 🐾
About: I’ve had dogs in my house since I was very little. I’ve had puppies all the way up to our current senior dogs, one who is losing his vision and hearing. I enjoy walking and will treat your dog as my own. I work from home part time on a very limited/flexible schedule and have plenty of time to dedicate to your furry companion. I look forward to scheduling with you on a regular basis to fit your needs. Our dogs are given the best treatment. We train tricks and routines and remove bad behaviours only through positive reinforcement. One of our current dogs is a rescue dog and we have supported her in this manner.
“Karla was very kind and attentive to detail. I felt comfortable giving her directions about how to care for my dogs and she kept me updated throughout her time with them. She also kindly shared her coupon to help make the service more affordable for me which I really appreciated as a student. She checked in after the visit as well to make sure I was satisfied with how she left the dogs and my home and I really appreciated her help! I knew Jasper and Ruby were being well taken care of, thank you Karla!”

“Sonja hosted our little poodle for a week and we can’t even begin to say how happy we are with her care. Sonja and her family went above and beyond to care for our pet. Her kids are very sensitive and caring around pets. Sonja was very attentive at the time of instructions and was very organized. She regularly updated us and was patient with our dog….a special mention that she and her family happily agreed to host her for an extra night as our flight was delayed. We will be reaching to her in future without question. What an amazing host and family!”

They went above and beyond to make sure he was well looked after, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable with them. It’s such a relief to know that Charlie was in such great hands. Highly recommend and would definitely give them a 5-star rating!”
“This was our first interaction with Xiaoying, who cared for our senior dog Jellybean for four days and three nights. Immediately upon drop off, we were reassured that Jellybean would be in good hands. It’s evident she has a true love for animals. We were impressed by her attention and genuine care for Jellybean. She provided updates on how things were going, accompanied with photos from their time spent together. Thank you Xiaoying!”
“Mia had such a great time with Elizabeth! We were kept updated throughout the time we were away and Mia looked like she was having a blast, I never had to worry. I highly recommend Elizabeth for dog sitting and we will for sure use her again.”
“From the moment I met Trish, I knew my boys would be in great hands! They are usually quite nervous around new people and in new places, but they instantly took a liking to Trish. She send tons of photos throughout their stay and always kept me in the loop as to what they were up to. It’s very clear that Trish adores dogs and I would have 0 hesitation in bringing my dogs back for another stay.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for the past fifteen years. More recently, over the last four years, I have gravitated towards adopting dogs that either require more care or are older and unlikely to be given a life they deserve. I can handle high energy dogs, I have a schnauzer that requires a lot of attention. He needs frequent walks and quite a bit of exercise chasing his ball. I can also handle dogs that require special care. One of the dogs I adopted was found by my girlfriend and I in terrible conditions after being hit by a car. His back was broken and he was left on the side of the road. We looked after him, changing diapers, and cleaning his body for months until he was able to walk again using three legs. He even became a very great playmate for my schnauzer. He lived a very happy life before ultimately passing. I would be looking to give plenty of time to your dog(s) making sure they are active and cared for as if they were my own. I have plenty of time throughout the day to walk your dog. Also I make sure when I am outside with dogs that it is their time; they get to enjoy the walk at their own pace. On weekends, I can make time to care for your pets as long as I have a notice of 1-2 days. I have an unfenced yard so therefore your dog will be on a leash at all times when we are outside. There are plenty of very nice walking trails right outside my house. I can also take your dog to the park if that is what they like.
About: We know firsthand that dogs are family. We cared for our beloved dog for 11 years through two knee surgeries and several other procedures due to genetic health issues, giving her the best care every step of the way. That experience taught us patience, responsibility, and how to recognize when a dog needs extra attention. We provide a calm, loving home, daily walks, plenty of affection, and will follow your dog's routine exactly as you request. We treat every dog like one of our own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. We both work full-time Monday to Friday, so we're best suited for dogs that are comfortable being home alone for up to 8 hours during the workday. Every dog gets a morning walk before we leave, an evening walk when we're home, and lots of love and attention afterward. On weekends we're home most of the day, so your dog will have plenty of companionship, playtime, and cuddles. Your dog's safety and comfort are our top priorities. We'll follow your dog's feeding schedule, medication routine, exercise needs, and any special instructions exactly as requested. We treat every dog like a member of our family and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. We also volunteer with an incredible pet rescue in Edmonton dog sitting for fosters while they wait for their forever home and absolutely love everything about it. All dogs we watch will 100% be treated like royalty 💜 We also have a toy box full of new toys where your incredible pet gets to bring home their favorite toy after their stay 🥰
“I don’t think there’s enough words to describe how wonderful and caring this family is. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond by meeting with us the day after we booked so that our dog could get to know them and feel comfortable before his stay. Throughout his time with them, they treated him like he was part of their family. He enjoyed multiple walks every day, plenty of attention, and so much love and affection. It was clear from the updates and photos that he was happy, relaxed, and well taken care off. Their kindness, communication, and genuine love for animals truly shines through. We came home to a happy, well-loved dog. You’re an incredible family! 🐶❤️”
