“Jelena dropped in to feed our two cats for a total of 6 visits. She is a great communicator and responded to messages very quickly. Our two cats warmed up to her easily which is rare. She sent multiple daily updates per feeding which really put our minds at ease. I highly recommend her for your pets!”

“If you're looking for a pet sitter I highly reccomend Chanda. She has great communication and we appreciated the photos she sent of our pup. It made us trust that we left our pet in good hands. This was our first ever pet sitter and such a postive experience. Booking was easy. Chanda was very professional and puntual. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”

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.

“Hunter was amazing to deal with. She was available last minute when another sitter quit and saved our camping trip. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and currently have one small breed puppy. My family recently had to put down our two senior dogs who both had complex needs and with their needs I became well versed in administering oral medication and paying good attention to signs of discomfort. In my house we hand make our dog food from scratch. I am very accommodating and patient with any and all animals and immediately love them to bits. Caring for animals is a passion of mine and I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. In my house my dog has free rein and I will not have any issues following the rules you set in your home, whether it is on or off furniture and on or off the bed. I hope I can provide the services you are looking for. I do have a full time job that may interfere with any requests, I work a 9-4 administrative job during the week. I have a regular 5 days a week job but my day ends at 3-4 depending on the day. I am mostly free on the weekends other than some Saturday morning gym time. I am available during the week in the evenings. I am good at following the routines you have set for your pets. I love to cuddle and play with all sorts of animals and caring for your pets will be my focus.

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. I am very perceptive to your pet(s) needs and my calm energy helps nervous pets to relax. I will make sure they are being smothered with love and having fun. 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: 55 yrs of all different types of animal care. Horses, cows, pig, chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, guineapigs, hamsters, tropical fish, birds, lizards. Appreciate them all. I drive Uber and I am very flexible throughout the day as I can start and stop when I need to. I don’t want late late nights tho. I have no issue coming to your house for short or long visits, going for a walk or even staying over if needed. My biggest worry is a large animal, like a dog that would drag you instead of having proper manners.

“Excellent communication. Our puppy was so happy to see us and we appreciated the Photos we received.”

“Delia was so lovely! She took care of our cat long term while we were away for 5 months. She went above and beyond to board her and make sure she received everything she needed. The communication was great with updates and photos too. I definitely recommend her and will be using her services again in the future!”

About: I Love dogs more than I do Humans! I have worked with dogs at an NGO but I'm no professional. I want to do this because I Love and wish to spend more time with dogs. I work at a restaurant in Blackfalds and have plenty of time to myself. Walking your dog will make my day complete and your day carefree! Different from case to case. Need to talk to the dog parents about their expectations and whether or not I can fulfill them to their liking.
