Pet Sitting in Blackfalds

“Fantastic! Really appreciated Ashley taking care of Joey (cat) and more than just the basic necessities, but also making sure he got some play time and outside time. Will book again in future!”

“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!”

Doggos must be leash friendly. We enjoy the wooded area near my home for our walks.

“Amy went above and beyond to make sure my boys and place were well taken care of. She followed all my instructions and provided me with daily pictures and detailed updates. I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her care. And the boys seemed to love her as well! Thanks Amy :)”

About: I have taken care of 7 of my own pets and many friends/family pets as well. I have dealt with all ages, 3 week old to 17 years old. I'm well versed in feeding and medication schedules. Also have dealt with alot of wound care after surgeries as well. I'm currently between jobs so I have a lot of time to put toward your pet and the attention for seeking for them. I'm honest, reliable, and overall a calm loving person. Dogs and cats are usually instantly my buddies and I will treat and care for them to your preference. I go above and beyond for my pets so for yours I would do the same. I have a large yard, lots of room to run and play. Unfortunately not fully fenced at this moment, but I have a large outdoor kitty/dog pen. I also have retractable tether leash. Since I am off right now the vast majority of my time can be with your pet. I love the outdoors and fixing things, I love walking and river adventures as well as snuggling on the couch with my pets and just enjoying their company.

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.

“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'm an established, mature lady who works from a home office. I have excellent communication and English skills. Upon growing up surrounded with pets of all sorts, I've become a natural 'pet nanny'. My social demeanor is quiet, very calm and animals usually connect with me well. I live on South Hill, in Red deer which is close to downtown. I also have clients in Calgary. Able to do house-checks throughout Red deer and surrounding areas. Overnights or daytime drop-in visits possible. High needs and geriatric care pets may require individualized rates. I've also done professional property management roles so am very aware of taking professional care of residential homes as well. Able to provide many great references! Can provide basic gardening, lawn care, snow shovelling, etc for additional fee. I work from home and am flexible to book around your scheduling requests. I have good professional references, my own vehicle and am also willing to do light housekeeping, yard or plant care, automotive errands and pet grooming appointments for additional fee. I take time to gently understand the nature and characteristics of your pet. Then hope to gain their trust to be the best nanny I can for them. I do require up-to-date vaccination information for new clients - for your pets safety as well as other pets I care for!

In both our home and our client's home, we provide comprehensive and personalized pet care tailored to the specific needs and preferences of each animal. When caring for pets in my home, ww offer a safe and comfortable environment where they can feel at ease and receive individualized attention. This includes regular feeding schedules, ample exercise opportunities in a fenced yard, engaging playtime, and cozy resting areas.

In both scenarios, safety is paramount, and we take great care to ensure that pets are secure at all times, especially in a fenced yard where they can enjoy supervised outdoor time. Additionally, we maintain open communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and addressing any concerns or special requirements promptly and professionally.

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.

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

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.

About: I will be starting my RVT practicum in September at an emergency clinic located in Red Deer, AB. I just relocated here from Calgary and am looking to meet some new clients that I can petsit for in the area. My schedule will be 4 on / 4 off, so availability may depend on the week. I am comfortable with cats and dogs of any breed, and larger animals as well! I include many services for free as part of my pet sitting profile, including nail trims, bathing, and administering medications. I am also a Fear Fear™ Certified Member! I can dedicate full days and nights to the care of your companion, as long as it aligns with my 4 on / 4 off schedule at the clinic. I enjoy keeping my clients happy and will discuss any desired feeding and walking schedules prior to my arrival. Treats, allergies, or other safety concerns will also be addressed.

“Saved me when I needed short notice care for my dog. Dog was happy. She was excellent at communicating”

Katelynn J.

“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.
