“Nina was such a big help while my primary walker was away. Nina is very kind hearted and Phoenix took to her straight away, which made me feel so relieved. Thank you for being available for Phoenix, I will certainly rebook in the future if needed. Nina is very trustworthy and easy to work with. She is also great at communication as she responded to messages in a timely manner!”
“Stephanie was awesome with our dog. He can be a bit timid, and has never had a Dog Walker before, so I wasn’t sure how he would react, but he loved his walks, and is “smiling” happily in all the photos! It was wonderful knowing I didn’t have to worry about him while we were out of town.”

About: 🐾 Experienced Cat Sitter & Small Dog Care | Volunteer at Regal Cat Café 💖 👋 Hi! I’m Tamara, an experienced and reliable cat sitter in Calgary, specializing in in-home cat care and small dogs. I previously worked as a full-time cat sitter, ran my own in-home cat care business, and have volunteered with the Meow Foundation for over two years. I’m especially experienced with shy, anxious, energetic, and senior cats who need extra patience. I’m also currently a volunteer at Regal Cat Café, where I get to spend time with cats of all different personalities and help them feel comfortable, engaged, and enriched. 🧶 More than feeding—I make visits fun I love making visits more than just feeding and cleaning! I bring my own selection of cat-safe toys to help cats interact, play, burn off energy, stay mentally stimulated, and simply have some fun. I adjust activities to each cat’s personality — whether they love chasing toys and playing, need a little encouragement to come out of hiding, or prefer quieter interaction and companionship. 🐶 Small Dog Care Available Too! While cats are my specialty, I also happily care for small dogs and offer: 🐾 Dog walking 🎾 Playtime and companionship 🌳 Walks near the Rosedale Off-Leash Dog Area for dogs who enjoy being active 📍 I live very close to the Rosedale Off Leash Dog Area, making it easy to provide safe, fun walks and enriching outdoor time for dogs who enjoy being active.

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.

I cannot recommend Madison enough! She has been an absolute lifesaver for our family. She is exceptionally reliable, always on time, and keeps us updated with great communication. Our dog has a few behavioral challenges, and Madison handles him like a true professional. Her confidence and experience shine through in everything she does. Most importantly, it’s obvious how much she genuinely loves our pooch, and he absolutely adores her. If you want complete peace of mind knowing your pup is in expert hands, hire Madison!

Thank you for being available for Phoenix, I will certainly rebook in the future if needed. Nina is very trustworthy and easy to work with. She is also great at communication as she responded to messages in a timely manner!
Svetlana was absolutely wonderful with Graf! He came back happy and nicely tired after his walk. She was very kind, attentive, and clearly comfortable with large dogs. We’re very happy with the experience and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾
Bri has been amazing with Otto. He was hesitant at first because he’s only ever been walked by family, so she slowly earned his trust over a couple weeks and now he loves to see her and go on walks with her! I really appreciate all the pictures we get and the report on each walk. It’s great to know when someone cares about your pet as much as you do :) Bri is also great with being flexible with timings of walks, or being able to accommodate two walks in a day if needed! We are definitely repeat clients and will continue to be for a long long time.
