Dog Sitting Calgary

About: Hi! I'm a veterinary professional currently working in a Canadian animal hospital, and I genuinely love getting to know every pet's unique personality. My veterinary experience means I'm comfortable administering oral medications, recognizing when something isn't quite right, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. But what really sets me apart is earning their trust whether that's throwing the ball one more time, stopping to sniff every tree, or patiently winning over a shy pup with treats and kindness. I'll follow your pet's routine, give them plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles (if they're into that!), and keep you updated with lots of photos. My goal is simple, to make your pet feel loved, safe, and excited to see me again. I work in an animal hospital, so caring for pets is already a big part of my daily life. My schedule varies from week to week, which actually gives me flexibility to provide pet care on many weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I always keep my Rover calendar updated so you'll know exactly when I'm available. When I'm with your pet, they have my full attention and care I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I never take that responsibility lightly. I carefully follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, medications, exercise needs, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to body language and behavior, because even small changes can tell us a lot. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, my priority is creating a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can relax and be themselves. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, because I know that's exactly what I'd want if someone were caring for my own pet.

About: Hi I’m a freelancing pet photographer. I do pet sitting as a hobby. Throughout my life, I’ve had the joy of raising two rabbits (one at a time) and two cats (together). Although my current housing doesn't allow pets, my love for animals remains strong — I deeply miss my cats who are now with my family in another city. I had Beanie since she was a baby and I need to feed her goat milk before she is old enough to have dry cat food. I’ve also helped friends with dog sitting, and I enjoyed walking in the street of Calgary and being at a dog park taking photos of the furry ones. I can drive, so I can go somewhere further away from my location if needed. (Travel fee may apply) I will be doing most services on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I will be also available for services in the morning and in the evening on the other days I always treat every pet like they're my own and make them feel safe and chill when I'm around. Bonus: As a passionate pet photographer, I aim to capture at least one professional-quality photo of your pet during each visit. It’s my way of sharing a little something special with you — a lasting memory from your pet’s day. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

About: Hi, I’m Bethany! Here’s what you can expect when you choose me to care for your pets: Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles, I developed a deep understanding of animals and their needs. My family was involved in professional dog agility, and I’ve had the privilege of raising and caring for border collies. If you have a high-energy dog, I’m well-equipped to handle them. From helping little puppies take their first steps to supporting senior dogs enjoying their golden years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages. I’m experienced with administering medications, supporting mobility, and ensuring your pets are comfortable and well cared for. Throughout 2023 and 2024, I have fostered animals in need through the Calgary Humane Society. We’ve hosted a variety of animals, including kittens, seniors, and pets recovering from surgery. Every pet is treated with the care and respect they deserve. I understand that it’s not just about taking care of the pets—it’s about ensuring your home stays in top shape. With years of experience cleaning and maintaining an Airbnb with my family, I’m detail-oriented and committed to keeping your home neat, tidy, and well-maintained while you’re away. I love spending time outdoors, whether it’s taking energetic dogs for a run or leisurely walks with seniors. Whether it’s leashed or off-leash, we’ll make the most of our time outside, and your pet will enjoy every minute. I’m dedicated to providing quality care for your pets and home, ensuring everything is taken care of while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! My family dog typically lives with me for the summer as I have more time off work and I live an active lifestyle that lends itself well to a high-energy pet! I take him on an off-leash walk for at least an hour each day. I ensure that animals are not left alone for longer than 4 hours at a time. I work a hybrid job between home and in-person so I am able to accommodate the animals schedule into my routine very easily. My partner and I live in a pet-friendly apartment shared with a housemate. We can easily crate your dog if that is a part of their routine. Otherwise most hours of the day one of the two of us is home to provide all animals with us with the care and attention they require.

“Cora won over both my cats quickly and had my more timid one sleeping on her lap in a couple of days. She provided great updates with lots of photos.”

“Ivy & Tsering were an absolute lifesaver with our last-minute request to find a sitter for our two cats, Charlie and Moose. They were incredibly accommodating and communicated with us every step of the way, sending detailed updates after each drop-in visit. They went above and beyond to ensure our kitties were well taken care of, which gave us so much peace of mind. We felt completely reassured leaving our cats in their care. We are beyond grateful and thankful for Ivy & Tsering’s exceptional service!”

“Natasha was awesome! I met her before she watched my cat, Feta, while I was was gone and she was very kind and genuine. She went above and beyond when she took care of Feta and it gave me a sense of peace being away from my pet for so long and leaving him in the care of someone I had just met once. Highly recommend Natasha.”

About: I've had dogs all my life. I love training pups and frequently foster them at 12 weeks old. As an avid dog caretaker, I appreciate their company in my daily runs. I appreciate all breeds! As I work from home, there is plenty of time for me to spend with your pet! We frequent parks daily and love to spend time in the yard. We are a small, active family with plenty of love to share, including a big-hearted Dane and a small child. With a securely fenced in yard, your furry friend will have ample space to play and explore safely. Whether it's for a day or an extended stay, we're here to provide a cozy and welcoming environment, ensuring your dog feels right at home.From walks in the neighborhood to cuddle sessions on the couch, we'll tailor our care to your dog's needs, making sure they're comfortable and content while you're away. Trust us to keep your beloved companion happy and well cared for whenever you need a helping hand.

About: I’m a very fit and active 60-year-old gentleman who loves going out for long walks and would love the company of your pet to join me. My husband and I live in a condo and travel often so owning our own dog is almost impossible. We do have two grand puppies who we love spending time with and having stay with us whenever their parents are away.. I retired three years ago from my full-time job and now work casually two or three nights a week. My daytime and weekends are completely free to look after your animals. I am completely mobile and able to stay in your home to look after your pets if you need to be away on vacation. Also able to do some light housekeeping (extra fee) for you while I am in your home. Both my husband and I are complete neat freaks, and your home will be well respected and taken care of while I am there. I do genuinely love animals I would love to have some of our own if we could accommodate them in our condo. We are avid travelers, so the idea of having a dog doesn’t really work out for us. But I am drawn to dogs and I feel they love being around me as well. I’d offer a ton of love and am able to look after both sedentary and highly active pets.

About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors needing extra support. I’ve also volunteered for more than 3 years with Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society, where I worked hands on with dogs of all breeds, personalities, and special needs. This experience gave me a strong foundation in understanding canine behavior and providing individualized care. I also have training through AARCS, along with experience training my own dogs, so I’m comfortable reinforcing positive behaviors and helping dogs feel secure and confident. What sets me apart as a sitter is my patience and calm approach, I understand that every dog has their own personality, and I always take the time to build trust and create a safe, comfortable environment. Whether your pup needs structured walks, enrichment activities, medication, or plenty of attention, I’m committed to meeting their needs with care and reliability. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly routine. I have flexibility to prioritize time for walks, play, feeding, and check-ins. Whether it’s early morning walks or afternoon drop-ins I’m able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress free, including feeding and administering medications if needed. For walks, I ensure all leashes and harnesses are secure before heading out and stay attentive to surroundings to keep your pet safe. I also provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 17 years old and my next door neighbours asked me to watch their two cats while on vacation, and I haven’t looked back since! I love caring for cats and dogs and have been a trusted pet-sitter amongst my family and group of friends for years. As a previous nervous pet owner, I understand that some special pets need one on one care and attention. While your pet is in my care, they are the only one, ensuring they get the TLC they need so you can rest easy. I’ve truly found my niche as a dog walker, and I as a very active person, I understand sometimes just a walk around the block isn’t enough. I love to walk, run, and rollerblade so if you have a high energy pup who needs to go out for a few kilometers in order to feel rested and settled, I’m your gal! I am currently a full time student studying yoga, Pilates and mindful movement, so my schedule is open during weekdays to help you with all your walking and drop in needs. I am extremely flexible and more than happy to work with you based on your pet’s needs and your personal preferences. I have no pets in my home currently, which allows me to give undivided attention to your fur babies on a constant basis.

“Colleen stepped in to help us when our regular sitter was away. She was so great with our little guy and communicated updates with me thoroughly! Thanks so much for your help Colleen!”

“Emma was knowledgeable about dog behaviour. My hesitant rescue appeared to really like her. Some instructions weren’t followed and during one visit my front door wasn’t securely attached and unfortunately swung open after she left, which compromised the safety of my dogs and home. Luckily my neighbour communicated this with me and closed the door/checked to make sure my dogs were inside my unit.”

“Via was really sweet, patient, and kind to Mufasa! Mufasa did not want to eat while I was away, so Via made sure he had ample food and water for when he was more comfortable. She sent pictures and videos when she dropped in on Mufasa to make me feel assured that he was taken care of. I would love to use her again!”

“Shiloh was absolutely amazing with my guy Oliver. I had her come over for a daily visit to let Oliver out mid day, she was punctual and communicative…. also took great pictures. I would highly recommend”

About: As a holistic health practitioner and lifelong animal lover, I bring a calm, grounded presence and deep attunement to every dog I care for. Each pup is unique, and I take the time to truly understand their energy, temperament, and needs—whether they thrive on adventure, prefer gentle companionship, or simply want a safe lap to rest on. With me, your dog will be treated like family. I provide personalized walks, play, and comfort, always with safety and wellbeing as the top priority. My clients trust me for my thoughtful attention, reliable communication, and the genuine love I bring to every visit. I’m here to make sure your dog not only feels cared for while you’re away, but also supported in ways that nurture their joy, confidence, and sense of security. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I walk myself 3 times a day and often like to explore. Walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddle breaks naturally blend into my flow, and I always make sure each pet gets the attention and love they need. Whether it’s a calm companion or an energetic pup, I can meet them where their at. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the animals and the space with deep respect and care, as if they were my own. I ensure your pets get lots of outdoor time and exercise for a good night's rest! I take time to connect with each pet so they feel safe, seen, and loved while their family is away. Cleanliness, communication, and calm presence are my priorities, so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet (and home) are in nurturing hands.

“Great daily reports and pictures”

About: I grew up around animals and have been a pet parent for most of my adult life. I'm currently parent to my Puli Thunder and my corn snake Ruby.Whether it is popping in to check on your cars while you're away for the weekend, taking your dog for a walk part way through the work day, or something more intensive, I will make sure you're furry family members are safe and happy. I use positive reinforcement dog training and offer on leash walks at the moment. I have cat sit and dog sit for friends and family for well over a decade and am familiar with making sure everyone has their needs met, including food, water, medication, exercise and enrichment. Currently doing full time pet care while working from home on writing. My schedule is based around the animals needs and I fit the rest in in between. I have a 6 year old Puli who gets a minimum of three walks a day and loves to have other animals around to socialize with.

“Emma is absolutely amazing - she was great with our pets and went above and beyond. Going away and leaving our cats always makes us feel a bit anxious as we know that us being away can throw off their routine and stress them out. Emma helped to make all of those worries and stresses go away. Not only is she reliable and trustworthy, but she went above and beyond in keeping us updated about how things were going for our pets while we were away. She provided us detailed notes and sent ample pictures of our happy pets. We have one cat can be shy to warm up to new people, and he allowed Emma to show him affection and love. This proves how good she is with animals! Emma diligently made sure to have all the necessary information she needed in order to provide our pets with the best care while we were away. It felt so great to come home to happy pets and a house that was even cleaner than we left it. Emma truly went above and beyond for us, I am confident that if you book her to care for your pets, you won’t regret it! 🐶🐱🐈♥️”
