Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ponoka

“Carina was beyond amazing with Fergus! She sent me daily updates along with pictures and videos of him playing and going on a multitude of adventures. I highly recommend her, and will be using her again in the future.”

Liz M.

“We cant say enough good things about Polly-Anna!!! Her and her family took such great care of our girl. It was our first time leaving her for longer than one night, Polly-Anna sent us lots of picture and video updates. Her three pups took to luna right away and put up with her wild puppy energy! There is very secure fencing for when she was outside, she even got to meet rabbits, pigs, chickens and turkeys(through the fence)!! We feel lucky to have found someone who loves and cares for our fur baby as much as we do. We have already re booked for when we are away next and will recommend her to anyone we know needing pet care🙂”

Denika

“Communication and updates were great with her, very reliable. 100% would trust her with my dog again. She left us worry free during our vacation! Just amazing!”

Terence C.

“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.”

Kristin K.

“Alexandra was such a great choice to watch our dog, Joey while we were away for 2 weeks. Her love for animals truly shows when she’s around them. We got multiple updates daily, and she and her partner took Joey on so many adventures! Joey had a bit of a bad belly when he first went with her as this happens when he has a change in environment. Alexandra took extra care and did everything we asked to help him get back on track. It really goes to show how much Joey loved being in her care, because he was genuinely sad when he left. She gave him so many snuggles and she’s even turned him into a morning snuggler with us which was so nice! If you’re looking for someone to take great care of your pup, and go the extra mile, we 10/10 recommend Alexandra!”

Ally B.

“Laura and John took great care of our Jojo and they even took her in on short notice. We have taken her there twice now and both times she had a blast. Even got a bath after digging in the dirt the first time. We will definitely be back. Thanks again for taking Jojo in onsuch short notice.”

Merlin S.

“Duke and Lola loved their stay one on one care rather than a group daycare. Cathy-Lea and her husband spoiled them with love and attention highly recommend them. Thank you both for taking such great care of Duke and Lola they can’t wait to visit again ❤️🥰❤️🥰🐾🐾”

About: Growing up around animals all my life, I've got experience with all kinds of pets! I love dogs and the energy they radiate! I try to go above and beyond with everything I do, and take pride in my work! I will treat your dog as my own, and make sure that by the time you get your fur-baby back, they'll be pooped! All dogs being boarded will have to be friendly with cats as I have one and he is quite timid. I’m trying to stick more to dog walking, but I’d love to board your animal or do drop in visits for you as well! On our walks, you can expect your baby to be mentally stimulated, excersized, and tired by the time they’re home! If arranged, I can do one hour walks instead of the 30 minute walk Rover suggests! Thank you for reading, I can’t wait to meet you!

“You and your pets need Jenna in your life! She's lovely to interact with, exceptionally thoughtful and detailed oriented, a great communicator, real animal lover, and totally reliable. Jenna house sit for us during a recent 10 day vacation and took care of our 16 year old cat, who gets meds 3x a day and is all kinds of spoiled, and our 3 guinea pigs, one of whom is blind and needs hand fed. She did an amazing job caring for them, keeping us updated and sharing funny pics and stories, in a very timely manner, and we came home to clean litter boxes, cages, well fed animals, and oh yah she also washed our sheets and towels and let us know when everyone's last food and meds were. I can't recommend her enough, she's definitely our go to pet and house sitter!”

About: As a devoted cat owner with experience raising several litters of kittens and caring for my own 3 cats, I understand the unique needs and quirks of our feline friends. From feeding and playtime to cuddles and companionship, I provide attentive care and create a comfortable environment for cats to thrive.

About: My name is Caitlin I am 27 years old and I have been in the animal industry since I was 16 years old. I have experience with dogs of all ages and breeds, cats and caged animals. I do not take care of spiders or snakes. I have worked in various Doggy Daycares and Dog boarding along with pet sitting in my home for various companies in and around Calgary. I have my Pet First Aid and in the middle of getting my Dog Training Certificate. I have taught a 4 year old 60lb Shepherd not to pull - it isn’t easy but it is doable! I volunteered in a vet clinic and have knowledge administering medication orally and through injection I have 1 dog ; Jasper is a Border Collie x Havanese that is 10 years old and a retired service dog. I have trained Jasper to be my husbands service dog for his Type 1 Diabetes, using my own techniques following Karen Pryor methods, I do not agree with Cesar Milan and will not use his techniques. I am very active person that does not stay home any day of the week. I am constantly with my dog and kids which includes going to the river, dog park and various walks in the parks. I am available everyday of the week, my dog(s) are never left alone longer than an hour and most times come with me for a safe car ride! I am excited to chat with you about your pup! I love to talk about dogs ❤️ I’m currently a stay at home mother with my 3 year old son and my 16 month old daughter, I have plenty of time throughout the day to care for all your pets needs as I always in cooperate the pets into my schedule around my children. All animals are family to me, they are my fur babies and will always give above excellent care. They will not be left outside unattended ever and I will spend every minute with them.

About: Hello! My family’s dog Miley and I have been best buddies for just over 12 years now! I completed the veterinary assistant program in 2018 and with my knowledge have rescued and am caring for 5 animals of my own since; 3 bengal mixes, a GSD mix and most recently I have rehabbed two injured black working line GSD‘s. I have had cats and dogs in my home my whole life. Over the years I have learned so much about proper care, treatment and diets for pets. While in school, I also learned how to groom dogs, prepare proper nutritional meals (raw, kibble, cooked, etc.), and perform basic hygiene upkeep on dogs (nail trims, sanitary cuts, basic dental maintenance, etc.). I currently work during the week at a dog boarding facility and bring my dogs to work every day. I will accommodate and work around my schedule as much as I can! I enjoy taking my dogs on new adventures and we have become aware of each other’s comfort zones. I am sensitive to each animal’s emotions and would never push them too far. I am very confident in my abilities to watch and care for your fur-babies! I look forward to hearing from you!

“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!”

Natalie C.

“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!”

About: Hey there! *prices may vary, don't be shy to ask!🐾💕 My name is Abbie, I am 29 years young and I have loved and cared for animals my ENTIRE life. I know there is a lot of information, but please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have! I am new to Bentley (and area), so I am looking to make those long-term connections! I am an avid dog lover and have a passion for teaching those who want to learn! Dogs are so great that way, they are always looking to please. Your pups may already know me from the dog park, down by the lake or doggy daycare! When I was a teenager I knew I wanted to help and take care of animals, so I spent most of my late teens and 20s in the animal industry, whether that be dog daycare, animal boarding, fostering with rescues, etc. You name it, if it involved animals, I was deeply involved! ✨️With over 10+ years of animal care under my belt, I am confident in the ability to make long lasting connections with you and your furry best friend. 🐾 I have always been passionate about animals and they have been such a huge part of my life - dogs especially. They are such innocent happy creatures that give us unconditional love, joy and companionship. I love them - and they love me. 💕 House-sitting is one of my favorite services to offer. Your pets get to stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine, and I make sure your space is respected, clean, and well cared for. I’m reliable, responsive, and treat every home with the same care I’d want for my own. I’m also fully open to multi-week stays and longer-term arrangements. I have a huge soft spot for small dogs and senior pets. Their gentle personalities, big hearts, and unique needs are something I truly cherish. Whether it’s extra cuddle time, slow strolls, medication support, or simply keeping them comfortable and happy, caring for them is something I love and take to heart. I am super excited to start this next chapter in my life with your furry best friends. It is the beginning of a fun, rewarding, and truly meaningful career that I have been wanting my whole life. I can't believe it took me this long to get the 'ball rolling'... (unintended dog joke). 🥎 I have had the privilege of dog and cat sitting for many friends and family over the years (I was that 10 year old knocking on doors looking to walk dogs or dogsit!) & have received great feedback. There also haven't been many times in my life that I did not have a furry companion to care for of my own. As of now, I have no animals of my own, although we are open arms for the care of yours. ✨️I know how stressful it can be trusting your best friend with a stranger. We want you to feel 100% comfortable leaving your pet with us. I am more than happy to meet up prior to watching your pup, just for everyone to get a feel for each other and make sure it's a great fit! I hope that you will place your trust in me! I can assure you while they are in my care they will receive an abundance of love & attention and will feel safe and comfortable. 💕 I will make sure to follow your guidelines in terms of exercise, feeding, medication, treats, etc. ✨️ What does care look like while they are in our home? Glad you asked. While I currently do not have a fenced backyard, this means the world is our backyard. Instead of being put in a fence backyard, every outting is a new adventure. A walk to the new unknown! They are free to cuddle with us on the furniture and we have plenty of comfy places to take a well needed snooze! Your pups will feel right at home here! We treat them as our own when they stay here! ✨️I am home basically full-time, so your pets will have ALL of my attention while you are away. What does my day-to-day life look you may ask? In the summer a day for myself looks like a walk down by the lake or a quick trip to a river or hiking spot. We are trying to get more into camping! We love fishing and exploring new places! All things dogs and people alike thrive for. My partner is a major busy body and always looking to get out of the house. Our winters are a bit more relaxed and looks like walks then coming home to hang out under a blanket with cuddles and a movie. Sometimes ice fishing if the weather permits! Due to just moving here, I don't have a big social life. I don't drink or smoke, nor do I party. My social life mainly consists of sitting around a fire chatting about life. ✨️I promise to keep you updated throughout the day/week & send lots of pictures/videos (I LOVE taking pictures). I am very responsive and always have my phone on me. ✨️With your permission, we are open to taking them to dog parks, dog daycare, to the lake, even the possibility of camping! ✨️With your permission, I'd love if I could upload photos of your animals to build my portfolio on Rover! 🐾💕 ** Please note: • We can only accept dogs 20 pounds and under for daycare/boarding in our home due to building restrictions. We cannot accept cats or dogs who are not kennel trained into our home, for similar reasons. • I have no limitations on housesitting! Thank you for your understanding! Thank you for considering me—I’d love the opportunity to care for your beloved companion. Please reach out with any questions!

“Cathy and her husband are amazing people. Very kind and caring. I can tell they take great care of my boy. Cathy is attentive to directions and I feel very comfortable leaving my pride and joy in her care! She is flexible and a great communicator. She sends me photo updates and my pup ended up needing an emergency visit to the vet (we think he got into something in our yard, still don't know what) and she was super worried about him because she truly cares about him. She is such a lovely woman. We are repeat customers for sure!”

About: Few years experience with own pets. I have experience walking family members dogs as well as my own. Dog breeds i have experience with are golden retrievers, dachshunds and dobermans.

About: Dogs are family. We live on an acerage with our golden retrievers, Zoe and Luna. We work from home and we love having other dogs come to visit so Zoe and Luna stay social and get even more run-around and play time. We are flexible and love meeting new dogs. Your pet will be treated like family. We both work full time from home. So we're here all day to let your fur baby play inside or outside with our own dogs. They'll have great fun exploring the yard and pulling sticks out of our small treed thicket. In the evenings and on the weekends we may go for a walk to the beach and play in the water. We're here all day and available for whatever your pet needs. Frequent potty breaks? No problem! Our own dogs, Zoe and Luna, love to meet and play with other dogs. We have 2 acres of fully fenced yard for them to play and run around.

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. I currently am at home. I do have my granddaughter after school, who loves animals. She has a cat. Going for walks would also help me get some exercise. I have an unfenced yard, so your dog would always be on a leash. I have a small senior dog that usually would accompany me on walks.

“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!”
