“I give Ginette a 10 out of 10 review for friendliness, efficiency, kindness, and excellent care for our muffin. She obviously loves and enjoys dogs and we highly recommend her as an excellent dog sitter. Thank you Ginette. Bruce and Karela”

“Sarah was awesome- blue heelers are a niche breed, so hard to find someone that not only welcomed Tilly into her home, but also encouraged us to bring her back. Sarah sent a couple update texts which were all positive, and most importantly dealt with Tillys leg injury while there. Well for sure bring her back when in Red Deer again!! Much love Sarah and family, Regards, the McCarthys !!”

“Excellent dog sitter! She was kind, reliable, and took great care of our dog. We really appreciated the updates and photos. We would happily book with her again. Highly recommend! Thank you Denise ✨️”

“I highly recommend Janelle! I went away overnight and leaving my fur baby with her made it completely stress and worry free! My dog has a little bit of health issues and she was so understanding and tended to my dog perfectly! Janelle sent lots of updates and photos, it was great!”

“Carolyn is awesome! She had Jade for 2 nights and took very good care of her. Jade felt at ease and comfortable in her home the moment I dropped her off. Great communication the entire time. Would definitely recommend !”

“Teaghan was wonderful to chat with leading up to time of drop off - this was just as important for me, as she was genuinely interested in how to keep our dog safe, comfortable and well taken care of. She was even willing to meet before hand to get to meet and greet with our pup as it was our first time using a sitter for our dog. Frequent texts, picture updates and great exercise Completed the care for our dog. I could tell on pick up that our dog wasn’t stressed, nor eager to leave. Would definitely recommend Teaghan for her services and will use her again, myself, for any doggy sitting needs. Great work, keep it up!”

“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!”

About: I have been a dog owner for over 20 years. I recently had to let my ole girl pass over the rainbow, such an heartbreaking decision to make. She was happy as the only dog if the house and I had a desire for more happy tails! So I decided to start walking dogs and doing pet visits so that I could fulfill my need for more waggy tails! I do work a local job that runs Monday -Friday, but am done by 3:15. I schedule my walks for 3:15 and after.I do get a 30 min lunch break that I can do washroom breaks for pets if needed. Walks are 30-45 mins. I do have weekends and evenings off, this is where I make the time for pups/cats. I do not tend to bring other dogs to my home, I have done so on occasion but only after my dog has had a chance to meet our new furry visitor. I do dog walks, visits and out door adventures for your pup. I even take some of my 4 legged friends to the back country roads, for that nice open free run!

Here is a list for your reference. 12 year old Rottweiler. 2 year old black lab. 9 year old chihuahua. 5-10 year old Jack Russell. 5 year old Husky. 8 year old Saint Bernard. Fostered two 8 week old labs for saving grace.

“Aaron sent so many updates and as an anxious dog mom with an anxious pup this was so appreciated. She said my girl got along well with her pups and I love that she had extra pup friends to keep her company while I was away. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone and it was a very positive one. Will absolutely be using Aaron in the future again!”

“My dog was at Sarah's once for daycare and when we left him for boarding he was super excited to go there. Sarah sent regular updates and left me at ease, knowing he was being well cared for.”

“Elizabeth took amazing care of my 2 doodles! She sent lots of pictures and updates for me to know they were having a great time while we were away! We will definitely use her again !”

“Shelley and her fam were amazing with my guy! He was treated like part of the fam and was comfortable right away! I did not have any anxiety leaving my dog with her! Her home is very dog friendly and my guy had the best time of his life he played so hard and was pooped the whole day once he was home ! Can’t recommend her enough 🤍”

“Stephanie was friendly and professional and wonderful with our kitties. She showed up every day on time and sent pictures and updates throughout her stay. I would defintely recommend her!”


About: Cats have been part of my world since I was a child. I’ve always felt drawn and at home with them and their special quiet energy. I enjoy their company, their personalities, and the comfort that they bring. I am lucky that they usually gravitate to me too, as we know cats can be particular. I love to meet new furry friends. If I’m lucky enough to spend time with your kitty, I’ll care for them with the same affection and love that I give my very own. I am used to cleaning cat boxes, and picking up hair balls and carrying their furr that clings to us like affectionate memories. I have experience giving my cats medication and trimming their nails with patience and care. Your cats will be safe and loved with me.
“We had a wonderful experience with Teaghan doing drop-in visits for our senior cat while we were away. She gave the utmost care and was well adored by our cat. I received frequent updates about how things were going and all communication was great! Teaghan's service and professionalism went above and beyond our expectations. I highly recommend you book with her for your pet care needs! I will definitely become a repeat client!”

“We absolutely love having Julie take care of our boys. We have two cats with very strong and distinct personalities and she was amazing with both of them. We were able to relax more on our vacation knowing that she was very capable of dealing with anything they could test her with (right down to one of our boys being extra moody a few times). Highly recommend and will be booking her again for during our next vacation.”


“Chanda did a great job checking in on our cats and being reliable/communicative. I feel really comfortable letting her continue to coax our shy kitty out to get some love while we are away next time!”


“Brittany was awesome! My kitty does NOT like strangers, but Brittany was so patient with her, I think she actually made a friend. She was a great communicator and the whole process was seamless. 100% will hire Brittany again.”

“Janelle was a fantastic housesitter! She took excellent care of my 4 cats, was able to accommodate their rigorous raw feeding schedule, and gave my 1 cat meds orally twice a day. My home was clean and tidy when I got home, and I was sent plenty of updates and pics while I was gone. I'll absolutely have Janelle back when I need to go away again!”

About: I have fostered a number of different cats, including semi-feral cats who went on to be loving household members. Fostering has included administering various oral and topical medications and adapting to each cat's unique personality and needs. We recently (finally!) foster-failed with our own cat, which has been such a joy.

“Tigger seemed settled and happy when we fetched him. Elizabeth sent frequent updates and photos throughout our time away and we could see how comfortable he was with her. Would definitely recommend Elizabeth and would ask her to look after Tigger again!”

“This was our dog’s first time with a sitter, and as soon as we arrived it was clear he would be comfortable and have a good time playing with Sarah’s dogs.”

“Denise was amazing! She made sure my pup was safe and gave him lots of opportunities for playtime. She is kind, caring, and very responsive. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Carina is fantastic. She is so thorough and takes excellent care of our puppy. We have appreciated her wonderful communication, with regular updates and photos that give us peace of mind while he is there. She is reliable, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. Our puppy adores her, and we feel completely confident leaving him in her care. Highly recommend!”

“This was one of the best experiences I could have imagined. We have decided that Kristy should be a part of everyone's life! From drop-off to pickup she was extremely accommodating, her home was friendly and clean, and Leo, our biewer yorkie, absolutely LOVED her. He was so happy to arrive at her place and slept like a baby after. She played ball until her arm almost fell off and sent us lovely updates throughout the day. We will definitely use her again and I would HIGHLY recommend (and already have) Kristy to any of my friends and family.”

About: I have taken care of rescue dogs, both young mom and pups, along with pregnant dogs, to senior dogs. I grew up with different types of dogs and my grandfather raced greyhounds.

About: Hello, thank you for visiting my profile! Growing up, I’ve been surrounded by so many pets and I’ve loved each dearly. My husband and I have a 2 year old German shepherd named Apawllo who is a very goofy and affectionate guy who loves meeting new friends. We also have a 1 year old corgi x mini Australian shepherd named Arlo who is the biggest cuddle bug who also adores new friends. I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, ferrets, horses, cows, birds, and more. I feel comfortable handling any size animal and I believe that I would be a perfect fit. I live in a welcoming home on a quiet street in Innisfail, but am willing to commute to pick up/drop off your pets, as well as in home pet sitting. I would be more than glad to chat with you further and thank you again for reading my post. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to message me at anytime through Rover :) I look forward to hearing from you and soon meeting your fur babies! Talk soon. I have a baby boy who also adores animals. I am currently on maternity leave and do not plan on returning to work. That being said, I have plenty of time to spoil your pets with lots of love and play time. Prior to my leave, I was an infant nanny for the last seven years while completing my honours bachelor in childhood development. As mentioned, I am home from work for the foreseeable future and have lots of time on my hands to go on hikes and to play with your pets. I have 2 dogs of my own and am familiar with the day to day of pet care. I have two friendly dogs who can keep your pet(s) company while you’re away. We live on a quiet street and are close to trails and amenities that my dogs and I use often.
“Chanda was super sweet and accommodating with my nervous pup! He ended up getting sick when I dropped him off and she handled it very well, kept me updated and made sure he was comfortable!”

I work from home and live on an acreage, we are still close to the city,so I have a flexible schedule and can be available any day of the week I have two fenced in play yards and a walking trail through the forest available on my private property to offer plenty of outdoor activities.

About: Like many others, I have been blessed with having the ability to care for animals throughout my life. In 2015, I had the wonderful opportunity to follow my passion professionally. I began working in a veterinarian clinic as a receptionist, technician assistant and external boarding for cats. After the adoption of our beloved Trixie in 2018, my focus shifted to behavior training while continuing care within the small animal medical atmosphere. Recently, I became certified as a professional pet dog trainer and specialized in aggression/reactivity/seperation anxiety. I continue my education through conferences/mentor sessions and am working towards becoming CCPDT certified. I am also an enrichment scent work instructor. I also have my Canine First Aid certification. If you are looking for someone to care for your companion, and would like to add any of the services that are mentioned above during their time with me (or at another time), I would love to get to know you and your companion. I am currently a stay at home mom and provide individualized training consultations as well as general pet care during early mornings and evenings during the week (including weekends). I offer limited care (1 or 2 dogs at a time) in my own home during the day if need be. My only requirements are that your companion not have prey drive (I do have cats and young children) and are good with another female adult dog. I have a large fenced in yard, and can accommodate your specific instructions/requirements as much as possible. Your companion will always be supervised and never left unattended.
“Had an overall good experience. Dilly has always been a bit shy but Sarah made sure to give him a good balance of space and cuddles which definitely helped during his stay! Thanks a bunch!”

About: I have never been without dogs in my life, from growing up at home to being independent in my own home and raising my family. I currently have 2 large breed and 1 small breed dog. I believe socializing dogs is key to having a well rounded dog. My dogs have been socialized around adults, seniors, children, babies, cats, horses, goats, sheep and chickens. I currently manage a retirement community in Red Deer, my husband is semi-retired. We have 2 dwelling on our acreage. My mother and uncle reside in the second dwelling and are around 24/7, because of this 0-2 hour potty breaks are able to be offered. I will be the sole sitter responsible for caring for the dogs in my care. Our dogs are a huge part of our family, and are included in outings. They are provided with at least one walk a day, and are often found outside with us while chores are being done, or a fire and the pit is being enjoyed. Our small breed dog joins me at work in the retirement community engages with 80+ residents there.
“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!”

“Steph did an amazing job walking my dog while she was staying at my mother‘s house in red deer! It happened to be a very cold week, but my dog enjoyed being out in her sweater and getting some fresh air. Steph was extremely flexible with doing two shorter walks a day and worked well with my mom to coordinate times. Highly recommend Steph!”

About: I've lived with dogs on and off for my whole life, and when I haven't lived with one I've always found a friend with a dog to "borrow" so that they can get out for a good hike, or just a sniffing walk if they aren't a trekker. I currently live with Mabel (dog) who is a rescue, so I have a good idea of some of the the emotional and/or behavioural struggles that some of our animal companions need help with. Thankfully Mabel settled in well and now lives happily with her (little) big brother, Oliver the cat. I raised two kittens from 2 days old at the and I also used to volunteer as a Cat Cuddler at the SPCA, so I have experience working with various ages, sociability levels, shapes and sizes of animals. I currently have full time availability! I tend to wake up early, so if you want me to pick up your dog (or for you to drop them off with me) early morning then that's no problem! I have a good sized, fenced garden that manages to keep Mabel (who is very active!) in. Dogs are supervised at all times when outside. I have a crate that can be used for anxious dogs who need their own space, or for those who are trained, if I need to leave the house while they're staying over (I will confirm this with you beforehand to ensure I'm meeting your pet's care level). Car-friendly dogs are welcome to come on any short excursions. Oliver (cat) lived with dogs before he came to live with me, so if your dog is good with cats then they could get along great! I do have a room fully set up for Oliver if he needs his own space and security, which I use while we're getting to know and trust new dogs, so your dog won't be confined to one room. Your dog's health, happiness and safety is important to me! The house is dog-proof for those who like to stick their nose where it shouldn't be! I want your pet to return to you tired, happy, feeling loved and looking forward to coming back to stay again!

About: I am a huge animal lover and animals are naturally drawn to me. I have had the honor of welcoming many sweet companions into my heart over the years, each one cared for with devotion and kindness, and many reaching their senior years with comfort and love. I am a warm, charismatic person who truly enjoys spending time with furry friends, whether you are at work or off on your own adventure. I would be delighted to meet you and your baby to see if we are a good match. I am currently working part time and have plenty of flexibility in my days. It is easy for me to book a drop in visit to check in, offer companionship, or take your little buddy out for a fun walk outdoors. I enjoy creating calm, happy moments for pets, and I make sure each visit fits comfortably into your routine and mine. For drop‑in visits, your little one would be well monitored and cared for at all times. When we’re outside, I make sure we’re either in a fenced yard or safely leashed, watched, and completely secure. I’m a protective momma bear by nature, and that instinct extends to every animal in my care. Their comfort and safety always come first. I would be respectful of your home and your space so your baby feels secure, relaxed, and at ease.
About: I have been blessed with the ability to dog sit all sorts of breeds for the past 13 years. From toy poodles, Shih Tzu’s, to Doberman pinschers. I have loved every minute of it. I especially enjoy working with senior pets. I love to bring them some fun as well as calmness in their senior years and love on them as much as possible. I love getting to take things at their speed. Having just lost the ten year old Doberman I had cared for full time for a year and a half, having taken some time to mourn her loss, I am now ready to bring on someone new. I am available to come to your home, where your dog is most comfortable to sit for the day or even a few hours. Or if it is more convenient to welcome your dog into my home. I love being able to take dogs for walks for some good exercise or just to get their business done. I will treat your dog as if they are my very own, and I mean that! As a stay at home mom, with my children getting older and currently in middle school, I am looking for something to get me out of the house, and bring me a sense of fulfillment. I love having a really good reason to go for a walk. Having a dog to walk is to me the ultimate reason to get outside! I am extremely flexible to schedule and whatever routine will meet you and your dogs needs. I have a small fenced back yard. I live just off of Kin Kanyon and there are many trails to be taken advantage of. I do have a cat who simply ignores most dogs. If she is a concern I can happily put her into the basement with the door closed while the dog is visiting.

About: Hello! My name is Luisa, and my pets are my whole world. I promise to take care of your babies as if they were my own. I am especially passionate about working with animals who may be fearful or have special needs. I have previously completed a two-year apprenticeship under a force-free dog trainer in Calgary, and although I am not currently working as a trainer due to completing my master's, what I learned informs all my interactions with animals. Through fostering and our own pets, I have experience administering medications to a wide range of animals (dogs, cats, bearded dragons, geckos, hedgehogs). At home, my husband and I have two dogs, a cat, and a multitude of reptiles and exotics. We also foster from time to time, which has given us experience with so many other species and personalities. Please let me know if you have any questions, I'd love to answer them. I am in Red Deer for a practicum placement Monday-Wednesday, and in Calgary the remainder of the week. I can be somewhat flexible with this, so please feel free to message me! My pets would describe me as a helicopter mom, I would describe me as attentive! When I travel, our pet-sitter gets a multi-page document on everyone's needs, so I am not intimidated to receive the same; this just means I can adjust my routine to your pet(s)'...it is their home after all!
“What can I say, she was incredible with Maggie. Responsive, punctual, caring, responsible. Maggie has a great time. I was secure that she took great care of my fur baby.”

“Was able to help me last minute when I was sick and my husky was getting stir crazy. Showed up early for walk and was very polite. When Bruce came back he looked like he had an awesome time.”

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.

“My dog Remy stayed with Kristin and her family for a couple of days. I’m told he really enjoyed the backyard and playing with Jasper, their golden :) Kristin was great giving me constant updates which made me feel at ease. I love that they made sure Remy felt at home and safe.”

“Sarah was awesome- blue heelers are a niche breed, so hard to find someone that not only welcomed Tilly into her home, but also encouraged us to bring her back. Sarah sent a couple update texts which were all positive, and most importantly dealt with Tillys leg injury while there. Well for sure bring her back when in Red Deer again!! Much love Sarah and family, Regards, the McCarthys !!”

“Excellent dog sitter! She was kind, reliable, and took great care of our dog. We really appreciated the updates and photos. We would happily book with her again. Highly recommend! Thank you Denise ✨️”

“I highly recommend Janelle! I went away overnight and leaving my fur baby with her made it completely stress and worry free! My dog has a little bit of health issues and she was so understanding and tended to my dog perfectly! Janelle sent lots of updates and photos, it was great!”

“Carolyn is awesome! She had Jade for 2 nights and took very good care of her. Jade felt at ease and comfortable in her home the moment I dropped her off. Great communication the entire time. Would definitely recommend !”

“Teaghan was wonderful to chat with leading up to time of drop off - this was just as important for me, as she was genuinely interested in how to keep our dog safe, comfortable and well taken care of. She was even willing to meet before hand to get to meet and greet with our pup as it was our first time using a sitter for our dog. Frequent texts, picture updates and great exercise Completed the care for our dog. I could tell on pick up that our dog wasn’t stressed, nor eager to leave. Would definitely recommend Teaghan for her services and will use her again, myself, for any doggy sitting needs. Great work, keep it up!”

“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!”

About: I have been a dog owner for over 20 years. I recently had to let my ole girl pass over the rainbow, such an heartbreaking decision to make. She was happy as the only dog if the house and I had a desire for more happy tails! So I decided to start walking dogs and doing pet visits so that I could fulfill my need for more waggy tails! I do work a local job that runs Monday -Friday, but am done by 3:15. I schedule my walks for 3:15 and after.I do get a 30 min lunch break that I can do washroom breaks for pets if needed. Walks are 30-45 mins. I do have weekends and evenings off, this is where I make the time for pups/cats. I do not tend to bring other dogs to my home, I have done so on occasion but only after my dog has had a chance to meet our new furry visitor. I do dog walks, visits and out door adventures for your pup. I even take some of my 4 legged friends to the back country roads, for that nice open free run!

“Aaron sent so many updates and as an anxious dog mom with an anxious pup this was so appreciated. She said my girl got along well with her pups and I love that she had extra pup friends to keep her company while I was away. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone and it was a very positive one. Will absolutely be using Aaron in the future again!”

“My dog was at Sarah's once for daycare and when we left him for boarding he was super excited to go there. Sarah sent regular updates and left me at ease, knowing he was being well cared for.”

“Elizabeth took amazing care of my 2 doodles! She sent lots of pictures and updates for me to know they were having a great time while we were away! We will definitely use her again !”

“Shelley and her fam were amazing with my guy! He was treated like part of the fam and was comfortable right away! I did not have any anxiety leaving my dog with her! Her home is very dog friendly and my guy had the best time of his life he played so hard and was pooped the whole day once he was home ! Can’t recommend her enough 🤍”
