“Amazing sitters! I had 2 of my babies go for an overnight sleepover at their home and they were so great with my dogs. They sent lots of videos and photos throughout the night with updates and it made me feel so comfortable knowing they were really well taken care of and happy staying there. My chihuahua is having a hard time learning to pee in the right places and they were even okay that there may be an accident since she sometimes gets confused which is her pee pad and which is a floor mat. So thrilled with finding this wonderful couple, we will absolutely use them again 😊”

I also appreciated their flexibility with pick-up and drop-off, which made the entire process so much easier. I highly recommend Jeffrey and his family to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog boarding service!”

About: I have had animals in my home since I was 7 years old. I have had a variety of different animals, and along the way they have all left an imprint on my heart in there own way and have taught me many lessons. I currently live on a farm, and have many animals and experience with many different types of animals. I have taken two training courses, and now train all our own animals. I have also fostered in Calgary for 8 years before moving to the farm. I have specialized in rehabilitation, shy, abused, fearful, and neglected animals. I give these animals grace, a loving, soft and caring place to be able to find forever homes, and in some cases my home was home. I have had seniors, wounded, babies, and sick animals in my home. We have also had new births and babies on the farm. I am truly meant to be taking care of animals, definitely my calling. Now that my kids are grown I left the school system, and I am getting back to what I love. This along with my farm are my commitments. I can devote all the time needed to care for your fur family as required. I have a fully fenced 2 acre area for dogs to play. I do have a heated shop, and outdoor run available, that always are accessable. I have rooms in my home that when we take in dogs it's designated their space. Free roam is all day when home. But unless I need to leave, for the safety of your animals, a round wire area is designated for your pet. Will also depend on frequency and relationship built, these dynamics could change over time.
“Andrea was so great! Our cat is difficult around other humans, and she did an amazing job navigating her moods and anxiety while we were away. We came back to a happy, fed cat and a very clean house. Highly recommend!”
“Great communication the entire time. Very passionate about this job, tons of pictures and videos and updates every day. Will definitely rebook when I need a pet sitter again, exactly the kind of person I'd want watching my pets”
About: I have been raised around cats and currently have a cat of my own who is 8 years old. I love spending time with cats, even those that don't want to be touched or bothered. My cat comes from a traumatic background and requires a lot of patience and time to open up. I am used to all different cat personalities and think they are truly incredible creatures.
“Anastasiia was amazing! She cared for our cats well and kept our home tidy too. She thoughtfully sent photos of our fur babies and frequent updates. She also left us a beautiful flower bouquet and little present. I wouldn't hesitate to request her services again nor recommended her to others for future sits.”
About: I have been around animals my whole life. Reptiles,cats,dogs,birds and enjoy spending my time around them.I'm experienced in giving my own cat medication and have experienced doing injections so im confident in my ability to do so with your animal.due to my experience in walking and pet sitting for many years and working in a preschool for three years I have lots of experience in animal and child care and would love to care properly for your animal
“Liza was very good with giving Shyanne her injections twice daily & she sent check-ins & check outs twice daily. Ours was different pet sit situation as my mom was their to clean litter boxes & feed them so I cannot comment on that. I will highly recommend Liza as she was on time for daily injections & Shyanne was good with her giving injections.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and i don’t think i would ever go without one. They’re more than just a pet, they’re your family and they deserve all the love in the world! I’m currently on a break from my job so my schedule is completely free from day time to night time! So i’m available whenever is needed! We have a pretty big fenced back yard and a live around the corner from a beautiful pond which makes for great walks and easy access !
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for caring for cats. I’ve raised nearly 50 cats over the years, each with their own unique personality, needs, and quirks—so I truly understand feline behavior and how to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your cat is playful, independent, or requires a little extra patience, I tailor my approach to fit their temperament. I’m also experienced in administering oral medications and keeping things spotless—deep-cleaning litter boxes and maintaining clean feeding areas are part of the routine. Your cat’s well-being is my top priority, and I’m here to provide reliable, loving care while you’re away.
“I’ve used Brianna twice to look after my cat. She was a great communicator and so lovely with Finn. I recently left on a long Europe trip and was quite nervous about leaving him for so long. Brianna was great at sending me updates and easing my mind that he was well taken care of. When I retuned, she cleaned thoroughly and made coming home such a breeze. I would definitely recommend her :)”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I recently moved to Canada from Ukraine, while my own dog, Oskar, stayed back home with my family. I miss him every day, and caring for other dogs brings me so much joy and helps me feel connected to what I love most. I’ve spent years looking after Oskar as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always treat them with patience, kindness, and love. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Before and after work, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I’m available for overnight stays, evenings, weekends, and longer bookings. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and provide regular photo and message updates, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I believe every dog deserves to feel relaxed, loved, and at home while their family is away :)
“Gabriella was great - prompt response when I sent in a cat sitting request She looked after my pet (cat) just over a week, and all went well She even shoveled the snow on the driveway!”
“Hamsha was a great cat sitter and she got along really well with my cat. She understood his personality, provided very thoughtful and timely updates with photos every time, and was very happy to deal with unexpected events. Very responsive too — always answering messages pretty fast and doing punctual visits during the time agreed. It was also a breeze to arrange a time for keys dropoff + meet & greet :) I can't recommend her enough!”
About: Your dogs second best friend! I am a former dog walker looking to fill some extra time I have, what better way to fill it with your good boy/girl! If your pet has food limitations they're in luck as I am the owner of Dognut Cafe; organically handmade pet treats and pizzas! I certainly would treat your dogs as though they are my own. I instantly fall in love with every dog I meet! And... My son certainly takes after his Mom! He respects each dogs space, doesn't stare them in the eyes, and loves and respects them all the same. Currently we have a very friendly and very sweet Corgi named Eevee. As a pet care giver I would ensure your dog is clean before returning home, as well as leave a journal entry or a note behind informing you of our day. I can even send you photos during our time together. I can also do live videos, special occasions photo (Winter Solstice Reindeer / Christmas Stocking, Easter Doggy, National dog day, Halloween Costume Walk...) I have my first aid and pet first aid, so I can administer medications (need written directions for insurance purposes) as well as give them all the love they need while awaiting your return. Please reach out if your budget doesn't allow for these prices. I can always adjust on the back end, it's about fit not finances. Daycare / Boarding: Presently I work from home and have the flexibility to move around as I see fit. Buckmaster Park is a block away for shaded walks throughout the day. Perfect for dogs of all kinds! No fence, relief as desired. During assessment with any pet service provider it's important to discuss limitations and the length of time a dog can be left alone. This will be clearly outlined during our first meeting. Please note this is a household so there is human activity occurring; we leave to grocery shop, run errands, have friends and neighbours pop in. ALL of which will be in the best interest of the animals during this time away, and minimized if discussed prior to. PLEASE communicate the exact needs of your dog / schedule as I will mimic to the best of my ability. Dog Sitting (in clients home): no one else will be allowed in the home unless otherwise agreed upon: in writing!

“I’m super Glad that I found Amanda for taking care of my dogs. She was nice enough to accommodate my last minute booking and provided the best care for my dogs. Everyone in her family was kind and welcoming toward my dogs. I could tell as my dogs got super excited to go to her place every morning and came home happy and tired. Definitely she is going to be my go to dog sitter in future. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.”
“Remington my one year old Cocker Spaniel visited Whitney for one afternoon. He came back happy and was so tired from playing with the other dogs and the walk. Glad I found someone that Remington is comfortable with and enjoy going to visit. Will definitely be booking with Whitney in the near future.”

About: We've been surrounded by pets our entire lives, growing up in homes filled with furry companions, so caring for animals comes naturally to us, and we understand how much love, attention, and care they need. We have a Shih Tzu and a loving cat, and they are great with other pets, very respectful of their space and energy levels. Whether it’s caring for energetic puppies, providing comfort to senior pets, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you're away, we treat every animal like they’re our own! My husband and I both work from home, so your pet will always have company! We have a flexible schedule; potty breaks are no problem for us. Every pet has their own personality, quirks, and favorite routines, just like us! Our goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it's belly rubs for a playful pup, quiet companionship for a shy dog, or extra patience with a senior pet, we'll adapt to their needs. We take the time to understand their habits, favorite toys, and even the little things, like how they like their treats or their favorite nap spot. Your pet won’t just be cared for; they’ll feel at home.
About: I have a wealth of pet experience, having cared for dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. I am responsible, reliable, and committed to providing excellent care and companionship to all furry friends. I have many years of experience walking dogs. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday routine. With two dogs of my own, a playful cockapoo and a boxador, my days already revolve around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, so adding your fur baby into the mix fits right in. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m usually able to accommodate last-minute requests. I bring lots of energy and enthusiasm to caring for your fur baby, always ready for playtime and fully tuned in to their needs and well-being, treating them like part of the family always. When caring for pets, I prioritize the basics: feeding, fresh water, and regular exercise and playtime to keep them happy and engaged, both physically and mentally. Above all, I love providing companionship, affection, and a safe, nurturing space for them to thrive.
“Belle says "thanks so much for such a nice visit with you and DuDu today"! And us humans say thanks as well, and we really appreciate your great communication and your lovely home. Hope to see you again soon!”
“Christine took care of our Gemmi in an exceptional way. Due to a family health crisis in our home Christine was there to make sure Gemmi had care and love she needed during this stressful time. We highly recommend Christine.”
“Emily has been so amazing with Tucker! She’s lovely, easy to coordinate with, and very flexible! Would highly recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a lovely companion for their pup!”
“Xi truly is the best! She has an amazing space for the animals both in and outside, she consistently sends photos of my boy having the MOST fun and he always comes home tired after a long day of playing hard with his friends. We had recently switched sitters/daycare as his previous sitter had to move, although Loki is a great boy I was nervous for him being anxious by new environments/people. He has went for the day, a couple hours and spent the night. Xi does it all. She always gives the best updates during the day via the app as well as touches base in person for pick-up. I would recommend Xi to anybody with a fur-baby. Truly a pleasure working with her.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 7. Everything started at my grandma’s house where I used to pet sit her cat which led to me owning a cat and a dog at our house which I had to pet sit when my mom and dad were away. My loves for pets started growing since then and am currently doing it with for 2 years here in Rover. I do petsit for our friends when they go away for family vacations and this has been an amazing experience. I do believe with my experience, we will be your perfect pet sitters🐶🐱 We are both working full-time and we are open to working weekdays and weekends too. We are in the house weekdays 5pm till 8am next morning and available in the house all day on weekends. We like going for walks and we can put your pets into our daily evening walks routine. Any suggestions on how to care for your pet or what your pet likes the most, are welcome😊
“Most wonderful couple ever on rover !!! They took such great care of Chips, even though we had specific instructions they were very accommodating! Chips loved them so much that we said their name and he recognized them hehehe. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Yonathan and Lezette were very friendly and so accommodating. They gave us photo and message updates regularly and our Murphy seemed relaxed and happy. Would definitely book with them again! ☺️”
About: I have always had a connection with animals, since I was little I was raised on a farm, so all my life I have been surrounded by them. I have a gift for taming them, I always make sure they are well and give them a lot of love. I am a person who gets up early, I really like to go for a walk or jog in the mornings, I always try to be very active and if I can't in the mornings I do it in the afternoons, I am organized with my time and my tasks, I have a lot of free space, so I decided to start here with pet care. My home is a safe place, free of cigarettes or children, I live with my parents and they also love pets, I have a lot of space in my house, so your pet will never feel trapped, and a large patio where we can play and hang out, and I have no problem with them getting into my bed.
“Was a little nervous to leave my guy with a new sitter but Carol went above and beyond! She made sure she asked if a specific kind of treats was okay, sent me picture of my guy and was so personable from the start! She’s such a sweet lady to deal with. My guy already can’t wait till the next time he spends time with her”
“Natasha was amazing! She was very accommodating and sent updates throughout Bean's time with her and from the photos, he seemed like he had a wonderful time! We would highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to reach out to her again! Thank you, Natasha!”

About: We welcome only one family’s dog(s) at a time, so your pup enjoys a calm, personalized stay with our family in a peaceful home setting. My retired parents love having dogs around and are home throughout the day, so your dog has plenty of company, care, and attention. Your pup is rarely left alone. We know every dog is different, so we take the time to learn their routine, personality, and what helps them feel comfortable. Our goal is for your dog to feel safe, relaxed and at home while you’re away. I know leaving your dog with someone new can be nerve wracking. I’m always happy to do a meet & greet before the first stay. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. My parents are both retired and genuinely love having dogs around the house. Between my parents and me, there’s almost always someone home, so your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day. We also only take a small number of dogs at a time because we want each one to get plenty of attention and feel comfortable here, not just be one of many. We have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play, along with plenty of cozy spots inside. We also back onto a park, so walks are easy and there’s always something new to explore.
About: Ever since I was a baby I’ve spent my life around animals from small to large, domestic to farm. I have always had a deep compassion for animals. As a child I always wanted to be around and with animals wanting to grow up working with them in any way. I have 5 years of experience working on a dairy farm and have worked at a doggy daycare. In 2023 I got my first puppy as an adult. Since then I have rescued 1, and had 2 rehomed to me as well. In my free time a few days a week I volunteer at the CHS taking dogs out for the day giving them a break from the shelter, showing them what everyday life looks like. Animals are already a huge part of my everyday life, so dog walking fits very naturally into my routine. I have a flexible schedule with availability every other week from 4:30pm–10:00pm, and on alternating weeks from 7:00am–10:00pm. I enjoy getting out for walks, spending time with dogs, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away or busy. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by sticking to their normal routines, giving them lots of attention, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I understand how important trust, patience, and consistency are when caring for someone else’s pet.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats in my life for over 50 years and have an amazing ability for having them relate to me. I am only working a full day on Friday's and my husband works out of a home office so I am very flexible regarding availability. I live on an acreage with a fenced yard and two friendly Maltese dogs and a dog friendly cat named Nigel. Dogs names are Maggie and Monty.
About: have a background in customer service and a general passion for animals. With my previous multiple years of experience in dog walking and pet sitting and my current experience in taking care of not only big and small dogs at home but also cats I am very confident in my ability to contribute to your pets needs and wants I’m currently looking for a job and due to taking a gap year my schedule is incredibly flexible and would love to accommodate around yours I am very gentle and understanding with pets especially younger and really old ones I have experience with older and younger animals and know how to behave and care for them accordingly due to their size,age,heath conations,breeds exc
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them has grown into both a passion and part of my professional work. I have 7 years of hands-on pet care experience and am a certified canine nutritionist, with additional education in holistic animal nutrition. I’m also a very proud dog mom to my Brittany Spaniel, Lula, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I treat every dog as an individual and take the time to learn their personality, routine, comfort level and needs. My experience with canine nutrition has given me an even deeper understanding of dogs, including feeding routines, treats, sensitivities and the importance of following each dog’s individual care instructions. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk or stopping in for a visit, my goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is receiving attentive, knowledgeable and loving care. At the moment I have a very flexible schedule while I look for a more permanent job, which makes pet care a great fit for my routine. I’m newly pregnant and already spend a lot of my time with my own dog, so caring for other dogs throughout the day feels very natural to me. Because I have my own Brittany Spaniel, I already have a daily routine of walks, feeding times, and making sure dogs get plenty of attention and exercise. I just need to make sure I’m home in the evenings for my dog’s dinner, but I’m very open to working out schedules that work well for everyone. I love the idea of spending my days with dogs and making sure they feel cared for, happy, and safe. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes, where dogs can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and routine. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, feeding routine, walking habits, boundaries and individual needs. I follow your care instructions closely and treat your home and your dog with the same respect and care I would want for my own.
“I booked Sara's services for a second week in a row, she is absolutely wonderful and am grateful for her spending her time coming out walking our pup. She is very reliable and love getting updates on how the visit went. Thank you again Sara!”
About: Growing up with 3 large dogs and 1-2 cats at any given time, I will be excellent with your fur babies. I am very reliable, and excited to meet your pets! I currently have a cat who is a two year old brown tabby. She has enough energy for the entire household and loves running around the house playing with whatever she can find. I love sports, specifically hockey, and love to be active whether that be a run or rollerblade by myself! I also enjoy doing puzzles, but it is tricky when my cat knocks over all of the pieces onto the floor. I am full of love and here for all your pet-care needs :) I’m currently working full time from home but am affording the flexibility to check on your pets during the day most times! Let me know how I can best care for your pet :) I love creating an environment where the animal is stress-free and feels loved and at home. Show me your routine and help me be a seamless shoe-in during your absence!

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was a young teenager. Dogs are truly my passion. I have been caring for digs of all ages from neonatal puppies, to senior dogs and am confident I can provide care that is just like family to your dog. I have pets of my own who get daily care (walks, play time, training time) daily. I am excited for the opportunity to care for other dogs too! In my home my pets are on a daily routine, we get up in the morning to potty and play, then relax for a bit before we go out on a walk. We train throughout the day in small sessions. Routine is the best for any dog.

About: I’ve had 5 dogs in my household since I was born. I trained 2 out of the five as I got older. I have pet sitted before and I have an absolute love for dogs. Currently we have adopted a puppy from fostering, we absolutely love her! We don’t know the breed or how big she will get but she’s been an absolute delight in our household! I always enjoy a good walk myself or a visit to a family friendly park with other dogs. Currently working on dog parks with my own puppy at home! Over the summer months would like to walk more dogs as my job is currently slow. I love the outdoors so I definitely enjoy taking my puppy for walks and to parks with nice scenic views. We enjoy visiting other dogs for play time for socialization! I enjoy playing with toys with our puppy, chasing a ball outside or teaching her how to be without a leash. We always use treats to learn new skills!
About: Experienced with large breeds and multi-dog households, including German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, and Great Danes. Whether your dog is a couch cuddler or a 120-pound chaos machine, I’m comfortable handling it all. I’ve cared for dogs for weeks at a time, including walks, feeding, medications, playtime, and daily routines, so drop-in visits and regular walks are no problem. I also regularly care for my brother’s German Shepherd, so I’m very comfortable with strong, high-energy dogs and giving them the attention, patience, and care they deserve. As a flight attendant, my schedule gives me flexibility during the week, which makes pet care easy to fit into my routine. On my days off, I have plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding routines, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I’m also very organized and used to managing schedules and routines professionally, so reliability, communication, and punctuality are extremely important to me, both in aviation and in caring for your pets. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always try to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and any specific care requests closely while also making sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m experienced with both high-energy dogs and more independent cats, so I adapt to each pet’s personality and comfort level. Cleanliness, safety, and communication are also very important to me, and I always make sure owners feel updated and reassured while they’re away.
“Gabriella saved my day! I needed a last minute walk done and she accepted. Gunner was very happy and content when I got home and Gabrielle was wonderful, sending pictures and great communication.”
About: I've fostered dogs, took care of neighbors animals and done dog walking. I have my own yellow lab who is my emotional support girl! I love puppies and senior dogs and all ages in between. I have lots of time for lunch walks, after work walks or play and can most definitely do weekends and have your fur baby stay with me too I take my dog for 3 to 4 walks a day so I can do the same for yours. We go to the river and throw the ball or she swims a bit.
About: I currently work from home in marketing from Calgary and I'm looking for some extra work that aligns with my passion for animals. I have experience taking care of animals (meal prep, grooming, feeding, playing etc.). I would love to meet your furry friends 😊 When I come to your house I will dedicate my time to providing lots of nourishment and entertainment for your pet. There's nothing I love more than cats and dogs, animals make me happy. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets. I work from home so there is alot of flexibility for time of day. I can also take last minute requests. I can be available on weekends as well. I live with an Australian Shepherd and take him for walks multiple times per day.

About: Hi! I’m a proud maltipoo mom to my sweet boy, Romeo 🐶 He loves other dogs just as much as I do! I would absolutely love the opportunity to care for your fur baby and will treat them like one of my own. I’ve looked after multiple dogs before and feel very confident handling different personalities and situations. Having raised Romeo myself, I’m attentive, patient, and always prioritize safety, love, and lots of playtime. I can’t wait to meet your pup! 💛 I work from home, so your pup will always have company and supervision throughout the day! 🐾 I also have a maltipoo named Romeo, who is friendly, playful, and used to being around other dogs. Since I’m home, I take regular breaks to walk and play with him, and I’ll happily include your dog in all the fun. I finish work at 3 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons for longer walks, playtime, and extra cuddles. Your dog will get lots of attention, love, and care in a safe, calm environment! 💛 I live in a condo that’s dog friendly and live very close to a dog park. As a pet owner I always ensure the house is clean and floors are spotless.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and i don’t think i would ever go without one. They’re more than just a pet, they’re your family and they deserve all the love in the world! I’m currently on a break from my job so my schedule is completely free from day time to night time! So i’m available whenever is needed! We have a pretty big fenced back yard and a live around the corner from a beautiful pond which makes for great walks and easy access !
About: I have always had a special connection to animals. I have lots of experience with large to small dogs. I love going on multiple walks with the pups as well as taking them on hikes out to the mountains (if that is something you wish). I have no problem taking them to a dog park as I have an suv. I will send updates on your animals with pictures and videos. I myself have a cat so I have a lot of experience with felines as well. You can count on me to give your fur babes the best love,attention, cuddles and care. If you would like me to stay at your home overnight I will treat it as my own and make sure to leave it in pristine condition. I look forwards to meeting you and making new furry friends.

And of course, the highlight was Aapa and Akira! 🥹 From all the photos and videos Jessica sent us, it looks like they became absolute best friends.

She sent me regular pictures and videos, kept me updated every often, and it genuinely felt like Ocean became part of her family while I was away. You can tell she truly loves dogs — she cared for Ocean as if he were her own. When I picked him up, he was in amazing condition, super happy, confident, and clearly very well looked after. He also absolutely adored her own pup, and it was so sweet seeing them play together. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave Ocean. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who wants complete peace of mind while they’re away. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
