About: I’ve always had animals in my life since childhood. I’m comfortable with all sizes and need levels. Even though I’m just offering drop in at this time, I will take the time for the attention they need while you’re away. I live in Lacombe but am comfortable with visiting any surrounding communities as I know how hard it is to find someone trustworthy to take care of your pets like your own. Dependable and loving - what I can guarantee when I pop in to take care of your animals. I know for myself, I also ask my sitters to socialize with my pets so they don’t feel abandoned when I’m away. I will always do the same for you.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—everything from small indoor pets like cats and dogs to farm animals and livestock. This has given me a strong foundation in understanding different species and their unique needs. I’m confident working with pets of all ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and senior pets who may need extra time, care, and attention. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and my ability to adapt to each pet’s personality. I have experience caring for pets with anxiety and know how to provide a soothing, stable environment to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications or topical treatments as needed, and I’m always happy to follow specific care instructions closely. I treat every animal like part of my own family, and I’m committed to giving them the same love, routine, and attention they’re used to at home. Regular updates and photos are part of the package, so you can feel confident your pet is happy, healthy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work full-time in social work, and am fortunate enough to have a flexible routine that allows me to work in the community and from home. While in my care, your pets will be used to the natural routine of a 9am-5pm work day, as well as the luxury of being checked on, let outside and given attention at various points throughout the day. My home is a safe and welcoming environment for both cats and dogs. I have a fully fenced yard with secure locking gates, allowing pets to enjoy supervised outdoor time safely. Inside, I’ve taken steps to pet-proof the space to prevent accidents, injuries, or exposure to anything harmful. I tailor care based on each pet’s needs, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and secure—whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them in their home. Safety, routine, and lots of affection are always my top priorities.

“Excellent love and care for our puppy. He loves his Adventures with Lexie and her partner! We are very happy to have someone so great, helping care for our boy. He always comes back happy and tired after a walk/adventure”


About: Hello! My name is Beth, I am 33 years old and animals are what bring me the most amount of joy in this world! I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and I always put their needs and well-being ahead of my own. I have previous professional experience working for two separate animal care companies, managing a pet store, and working for a pet/veterinarian product distribution office. Outside of my professional experience I have rescued and fostered animals my entire life. I have experience with dogs, cats, small animals, horses, sheep… and brothers that could be considered as animals (haha). For dogs, I am comfortable with all breeds/sizes and temperaments. I have experience in the following areas: • Extensive knowledge with pet health and dietary needs • Extensive knowledge in pet behaviour • Administering medication • Working with and loving reactive/fearful dogs • Puppy / kitten care • Senior dog and cat care • Working with other “high needs” animals who may have disabilities or medical requirements I am happy to continue working on training and keeping your pet(s) routines as close to normal as possible.

If they require play time and walks, you got it! If they prefer to be a couch-potato, well then... I am now a couch-potato too! Pass me the popcorn! My schedule is wide open as I am a stay at home mom. My partner works 100% remote and can watch our son while I pop over to take care of your furry little loves. While in your home I will treat it with the utmost care and respect. I will ensure to keep your house clean and safe. I am able to water plants, bring in the mail, take out the garbage, take care of small critters and more. The last thing anyone needs after time away is to come home to more work! If I have missed anything, please do not hesitate to message me. I am happy to go through any questions or concerns that you may have. I hope to hear from you! I am a stay at home mom, and my partner works from home. I have a very flexible schedule as my partner can watch our little one while I pop over to take care of your fur-baby! I leave every home the way I find it and I always triple check the doors and windows before leaving. I follow all pet care and home care instructions with care and love.

About: I love all animals! I am confident in my ability to provide loving care to your family members while you are away at work or vacation.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and other animals for a very long time. I have had the opportunity to take care of a lot of senior dogs as well and they hold such a special place in my heart.

I’m currently working part time so there’s lots of time for your pets inbetween.

About: Hi friends, I'm Jenna—a 35-year-old animal lover currently living life with my sweet four-year-old pup, Duckie. He has a calm, nanny-like temperament and absolutely loves the company of other dogs. Our days are usually filled with peaceful walks, relaxed hangouts, and plenty of cuddles. If your dog is looking for a low-stress, loving environment with a built-in buddy, we’d be happy to welcome them. I spent three summers working with a professional pet care company in Airdrie and Calgary, where I cared for a wide range of animals. My experience includes: Group walks (on- and off-leash) Administering medications, including injections Following detailed feeding routines Overnight pet sitting Pet transportation Cleaning enclosures for small pets like rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, and birds After more than 10 years in Airdrie and Calgary, I recently relocated to Central Alberta. I'm slowly getting to know the area and would love any local recommendations for great on- or off-leash dog parks! When I’m not pet sitting, you’ll usually find me out playing softball, hiking, camping, paddle boarding, or spending time at the lake—and I always bring my furry friends along. If you're comfortable with your pet joining me on outdoor adventures, it's a fantastic way for them to stay active and socialized. Above all, my top priority is your pet's safety and well-being. I’ll never put them in a situation I wouldn’t feel safe in myself. Open, honest communication with pet owners is really important to me. I want to know everything I can—whether it’s leash reactivity, size preferences, or personality quirks—so I can give your pet the best care possible. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup soon! Jenna (& Duckie) With being a teacher, I have summers off, which means I can make myself available for your pet for 24 hours a day. However, that will change once school starts back up in the fall I never put your pet in a situation that could turn out to be harmful or dangerous. Safety and communication are very important to me.

About: Hi, I’m Amber! I have recently moved to Red Deer from Winnipeg, Manitoba and I’m hoping to connect with clients and their pets that are wanting to create a close professional relationship. I have previously worked in a dog daycare environment for 2+ years in addition to boarding dogs in my home or dogs/cats homes for the past 7+ years. My main goal is to provide clients with peace of mind knowing their pets are safe with me! I pride myself on the things I learnt from working in a dog daycare facility for just over 2 years. On a daily basis I was working with 70+ dogs and I enjoyed learning about each one of them and their behaviours and personalities. At this time I am only offering check-in visits in clients homes! I will refresh their water, feed them, clean their litter box/let them outside, and provide them with companionship. Currently servicing: All of Red Deer, Sylvan Lake, Blackfalds, Lacombe, Penhold and all little areas in between. Please message for more information, rates and availability! References available upon request. Please note ⭐️, I am not a dog trainer, I do not work with dogs who are human aggressive. I’m currently not traditionally employed, which leaves me with a schedule is that is flexible and open. Mornings, afternoons and evenings! Social events, long days at work, I’m your gal! My biggest thing is providing comfort and care for others pets and treat them as I’d treat my own. I sympathize with how daunting it may be to find a suitable caregiver for our beloved pets! I love to learn about their routines and schedules and strive to stick to them to provide the pet with as much comfortability and familiarity as I can!
