“My dog had the best week long vacation at Sarah’s! Her dogs are so friendly and she has an amazing place for dogs to run around and play. Sarah is very personable and communicative. I am so glad to have found a place I feel confident leaving my dog when I go out of town. Nothing but positive things to say about Sarah and her place!”
“I am sooooo happy to have found Denise! I have never used a rover before and would go to great lengths to find care for my dog that I felt comfortable with and it’s just a nice feeling to have found someone reliable who my dog loves and I feel happy knowing she’s having a blast when I’m gone. When I dropped my dog off on the last stay, she was soooo happy to see Denise, it definitely reassured me that I’m dropping her off at a safe and happy place :)”
“Kristin was great! She updated me everyday with photos and how our dog was doing, I highly recommend her! Great communication and fast responses, and very flexible on pick up times. We really appreciate her.”
“Wonderfully welcoming lady and gracious hostess to our dog for an overnight boarding. Our dog had her home and fenced yard to himself with no other pets in the house, with many walks to a nearby park. Darlene kept us well informed on how our boy was doing, and he was comfortable with her immediately. A great communicator and we feel so fortunate to have found this loving atmosphere in which to board our pet with. HIGHLY Recommend booking with Darlene and we look forward to doing so again!”
“Janelle took the time to get to know our dog and helped her feel comfortable and safe from the start. She was very attentive and kept us updated throughout the stay, sending photos and letting us know how our dog was doing. It gave us great peace of mind knowing that she was being so well cared for. Janelle kept us informed of every detail, and we truly appreciated her kindness and dedication. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of her!”
“I would recommend Carina 100%. She looked after our Ruby on a long weekend, sent us pictures of their adventures, and communicated on our return for best drop off time. When we met to pick up Ruby, she was well at home, and completely tired from the weekend walks. I would highly recommend Carina to anyone looking for dog care, she is wonderful!!!”
“Ginette was incredible with our dog Zeus. She was attentive and went above and beyond to take care of him. He had some separation anxiety and she took extra measures to make sure he ate and drank water. She also sent plenty of pictures and responded to any questions I had very promptly. I would highly recommend Ginette to take care of your fur babies anyday and we'll be booking with her again.”
“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!”
“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.”
About: I have over 20 years of experience loving and caring for pets. My journey started with cats, and eventually led to my beloved Basset Hound, Carlos. Sadly, Carlos passed away in 2024 after a short battle with cancer. I deeply miss having animals around, and I am so ready to open my heart and home to your furry family members! If Carlos were here, she would tell you that she was completely spoiled with endless cuddles, treats, and multiple walks a day…and that is exactly the kind of five-star treatment your pet will receive. If you are looking for a true home away from home where your pet will be safe, loved, and thoroughly pampered, I am your sitter! Since I’m home all day and all week long, your pet will enjoy constant company and endless attention. Our days are anchored by two structured outings: a refreshing morning walk to kick off the day, and an evening "finisher" walk after dinner to wind down.In between, your furry family member will get frequent potty breaks, backyard playtime, and plenty of couch cuddles while I keep them company full-time. Because I am home full-time, I offer constant supervision and actively avoid stressful encounters or triggers—both inside the home and out on walks. My household includes my two mature teenagers who have grown up around animals and love having them around. To ensure a safe, calm, and happy environment for everyone, I am best suited for dogs that are friendly, non-aggressive, and comfortable around older kids.
“First time to use this service, Cheree was great on keeping in contact and sending pics, and the kids and my Enzo had a great time together. I really appreciated the updates and pics as I was a nervous mama leaving her Velcro dog. Very happy that he was well cared for!”
“Shelley and Rod were amazing with our Lola, she as truly welcomed in like one of the family. They have a wonderful home and property that is VERY dog friendly and our Lola loved her stay with them and she made lots of new furry friends. Lots of love and care was shown for our furry family member while we were away. A+++ thank you again so much for watching her for us :)”
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!
About: I offer personalized, loving care for puppies and senior pets, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I’ll be a friendly companion, keeping your pet’s routine and comfort top of mind. I can offer personalized care and attention whenever needed, ensuring your pet gets the love, exercise, and companionship they deserve at any time of day. Although I am currently a student, I prioritize making time for my passions and hobbies. This being one of them! In both my home and your pet’s home, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment where your pet feels at ease. I maintain a pet-proof space to ensure their safety, and I follow their routines closely to provide consistency. Building trust is key, and I make sure to provide plenty of attention, care, and affection to help them feel secure and loved while you're away.
“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!”
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.
About: I grew up on an acreage with dogs, cats, as well as horses! I am currently in distance-learning college and do not have any pets of my own anymore, but miss them so much. I’m very comfortable around animals and would love to have them be apart of my life again. My experience includes care for dogs from the puppy to senior ages. I apologize for the lack of photos with pets, I haven’t had any pets since I moved out on my own in 2021, plus I’m playing with them, not taking selfies ;) I am in college for nutrition counselling. My schedule is Monday to Friday 10am to 2pm, with 2 breaks, allowing ample time to care for your pet! We have a fenced back yard as well as lots of walking trails right out our front door for plenty of walks. I am able to crate your pet if needed. I intend to treat your pet as if they were my own, with endless love, attention, and the upmost care. I am able to follow your pets normal feeding schedule,
“Jennifer was absolutely great with my little guy. Constantly kept me updated and sent pictures. Was very nice to talk to and gave Crosby tons of attention. I highly recommend her if your looking for a sitter for your best friend.”

“Caylee was wonderful! I felt confident she was taking excellent care of my cat and was very pleased with the whole experience. I will definitely be booking her again :)”
“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!”
“Absolutely love having Julie do drop-ins for our two boys when we travel. We always know they are well taken care of, and get great photos and write ups for each visits. She is even great at playing their new game of “find the kitty” when she arrives 😊”
“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.”
“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!”
“Janelle was fantastic. The updates she sent were very thorough and she really went above and beyond when it came to the house itself, not just the pets. The cats all seem to love her.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Teaghan provided for our seven cats while we were away. Managing that many personalities is a challenge on its own, but she handled everything with patience, kindness, and attention to detail. We felt completely at ease the entire time. Not only did she take care of all the essentials like feeding, playtime, and litter changes, she went above and beyond by bringing in our delivered packages, and cleaning up the chaos left in our cats determination to destroy our house. With seven cats who love to make a mess, coming home to a clean house with relaxed, happy pets was such a gift. Her communication was great, her updates were reassuring, and it was clear she genuinely cared about our furballs. We’re incredibly grateful for everything she did and would absolutely recommend Teaghan to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and truly exceptional pet sitter.”
About: I’ve been fortunate enough to have had dogs throughout my entire life. Most of my friends and family have dogs, which has given me the experience to handle both big and small breeds and many different personalities. I currently have a puppy named Freya. I also shared many years with my previous dog, Daga, a husky/Mal mix who passed away at the age of 12, and Duke our black lab that passed away at almost 15. Dogs are a big part of my family, and my life, so I understand that they are more than just a pet, and they all deserve to be treated with excellent care. I am currently a stay at home mome with a very flexible schedule, making it easy for me to work around you and your pets needs. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will provide a calm and secure environment. Pets will always be supervised and cared for according to their routine. I will take the time to understand each pet’s needs and follow all your instructions closely. I treat every animal like my own and keep pet parents updated so they can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
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.
“Melissa was absolutely amazing!!! Stayed at our home the 11 days we were gone on vacation and she took care of our home and 2 cats. She sent us updates and pictures every day. I had absolutely no stress while we were away the cats got so much love and attention. Highly recommend her!!!!”
“Angela was amazing with Pandora. She spent the time with her playing and bonding. Got pictures of the two of them and a video with happy feet making her way down the hallway. I will definitely rebook with Angela in the future.”

“I am always a bit nervous leaving my pup with a new sitter, but Ginette made me feel at ease upon drop off, and seems like a kind genuine person. She sent adorable update photos through the day to let me know things were going well. Also- My day ran late and she was totally fine with me picking her up later than the original time. I know my puppy is a handful but she must have had a fun day! She was excited to see me but fell asleep shortly after pickup, resting after a fun-filled day :) Highly recommended!”
“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!”
About: I have experience with many dogs over the years from friends and family. I am retired so home most of the time to give your dog all the care they deserve. I love walking and hanging around the house and the backyard. Your dog would fit right in and I can adapt to whatever routine they have. I have a fenced yard and big house for your dog to enjoy. I live in a great area for walking dogs and will give them tons of care.
“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!”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of our fur baby, Rosie! We really appreciate being able to find somewhere safe and close to our home where she could spend the day! I think it looks & sounds like she enjoyed her adventures today with you! Sincerely, Vivian W. Highly recommended!!”
“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!”

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.
About: I have experience with every kind of dog you can name. Experienced in giving needles and oral medication, following detailed instructions and enjoying every quirk your pet has. Whatever they need, I can handle it. Take a break, you deserve it! Pet care is my full time job, send me the dates and times you’d like and we can make it work. Talk to you soon! I will care for your dogs like they are my own, they will not be running wild or off the walls. They will be happy.

“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 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.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely love spending time with them! From fun walks and playtime to keeping routines consistent, I make sure every pup feels happy, safe, and loved. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures or prefers slower, relaxed walks, I adjust to their needs. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means I have a very flexible schedule and lots of availability throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care during weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care since I’m home most of the time. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs! I have a fully gated backyard that provides a safe, secure space for pets to play, explore, and enjoy time outdoors. Your pet will always be supervised and cared for in a calm, loving environment. My home is a safe and welcoming space where your pet will feel comfortable, relaxed, and treated like family. My son loves to be outside playing fetch non stop with the dogs.

“Tucker loved Caylee as soon as he met her. Such a comfort to leave knowing that my boy would be in such good hands. He was always worn out from his walks, exactly what we needed!”
“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.

I treat every animal like my own and keep pet parents updated so they can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
“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 am currently a vet tech looking to provide the best care possible for your fur babies when you need an extra hand. I have experience with animals of all shapes and sizes and find myself capable of handing and caring for all dogs and cats with all different personalities. I have my animal care Fear Free handling certification and have had experience in proper handling and husbandry for cats and dogs! (Please keep in mind I can not and do not provide medical care or advice for your animals that falls under veterinary assistance. Please contact your veterinary clinic if these are the services you are looking for) Thank you :) As I am currently working full time my weekdays are pretty booked, my early mornings, evenings and weekends are free. I am flexible and reliable for any requests during those times! My pets are my world and I care for other pets with the same regard. I am very well versed in different kinds of enrichment and training techniques as well as fear free handling for animals that are a little more cautious. I pride myself in my knowledge I have gained through personal experience as well as in school. I have had experience with many different challenges and needs for different animals such as insulin administration and oral medications.
About: I’ve taken care of animals of a wide variety, since I was very young! Dogs, cats, rabbits, bearded dragons, etc! I’ve got a wide range of experience, when it comes to animals. I’m home during the day, so I’m always available to care for your pets. Whether they need walks, playtime, or just someone to hang out and snuggle with, I’ve got them covered. 🐾💛 I have a large fenced yard and plenty of patience and experience caring for pets. Your pets will be safe, comfortable, and well looked after in my home or yours.
About: I've been a very active sitter/walker on Rover for the past 3 years with both dogs and cats! I also worked for a pet company for about a year walking dogs, dropping in to visit/let them out & overnight stays in the client’s home; as well as dropping in for cats. I’ve always grown up with animals & love both dogs and cats 😊 I have taken care of quite a few dogs & cats in their own home so I’m very aware of safety (other animals outside at night, pets trying to escape when the door opens, etc) - I’ve also had a few pets of my own so I know how stressful it can be to leave them at home while you're away. Because I know how important your pets are, I ask lots of questions at our meet & greet but I also encourage you to leave instructions for anything you might want me to know during my visit! I run my own business so my routine is flexible, and my availability is normally quite open! Send me a message & we can figure something out together 😊
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: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely love spending time with them! From fun walks and playtime to keeping routines consistent, I make sure every pup feels happy, safe, and loved. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures or prefers slower, relaxed walks, I adjust to their needs. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means I have a very flexible schedule and lots of availability throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care during weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care since I’m home most of the time. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs! I have a fully gated backyard that provides a safe, secure space for pets to play, explore, and enjoy time outdoors. Your pet will always be supervised and cared for in a calm, loving environment. My home is a safe and welcoming space where your pet will feel comfortable, relaxed, and treated like family. My son loves to be outside playing fetch non stop with the dogs.
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 had the best week long vacation at Sarah’s! Her dogs are so friendly and she has an amazing place for dogs to run around and play. Sarah is very personable and communicative. I am so glad to have found a place I feel confident leaving my dog when I go out of town. Nothing but positive things to say about Sarah and her place!”
“I am sooooo happy to have found Denise! I have never used a rover before and would go to great lengths to find care for my dog that I felt comfortable with and it’s just a nice feeling to have found someone reliable who my dog loves and I feel happy knowing she’s having a blast when I’m gone. When I dropped my dog off on the last stay, she was soooo happy to see Denise, it definitely reassured me that I’m dropping her off at a safe and happy place :)”
“Kristin was great! She updated me everyday with photos and how our dog was doing, I highly recommend her! Great communication and fast responses, and very flexible on pick up times. We really appreciate her.”
“Janelle took the time to get to know our dog and helped her feel comfortable and safe from the start. She was very attentive and kept us updated throughout the stay, sending photos and letting us know how our dog was doing. It gave us great peace of mind knowing that she was being so well cared for. Janelle kept us informed of every detail, and we truly appreciated her kindness and dedication. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of her!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Shelley and Rod were amazing with our Lola, she as truly welcomed in like one of the family. They have a wonderful home and property that is VERY dog friendly and our Lola loved her stay with them and she made lots of new furry friends. Lots of love and care was shown for our furry family member while we were away. A+++ thank you again so much for watching her for us :)”
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!”
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.
About: I have experience with every kind of dog you can name. Experienced in giving needles and oral medication, following detailed instructions and enjoying every quirk your pet has. Whatever they need, I can handle it. Take a break, you deserve it! Pet care is my full time job, send me the dates and times you’d like and we can make it work. Talk to you soon! I will care for your dogs like they are my own, they will not be running wild or off the walls. They will be happy.
About: I grew up on an acreage with dogs, cats, as well as horses! I am currently in distance-learning college and do not have any pets of my own anymore, but miss them so much. I’m very comfortable around animals and would love to have them be apart of my life again. My experience includes care for dogs from the puppy to senior ages. I apologize for the lack of photos with pets, I haven’t had any pets since I moved out on my own in 2021, plus I’m playing with them, not taking selfies ;) I am in college for nutrition counselling. My schedule is Monday to Friday 10am to 2pm, with 2 breaks, allowing ample time to care for your pet! We have a fenced back yard as well as lots of walking trails right out our front door for plenty of walks. I am able to crate your pet if needed. I intend to treat your pet as if they were my own, with endless love, attention, and the upmost care. I am able to follow your pets normal feeding schedule,
“Jennifer was absolutely great with my little guy. Constantly kept me updated and sent pictures. Was very nice to talk to and gave Crosby tons of attention. I highly recommend her if your looking for a sitter for your best friend.”
