“Jeongah and their partner were very attentive to our puppy and sent us pictures throughout the day to keep us updated which we really appreciated. I’m glad they were able to accommodate Pablo on a very last minute booking. Thank you!”
“It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter. Veronica made me feel comfortable with leaving my dog with her. She sent me updates both pics and vids many times. They went for walkies many times. Very good communication as well. Her dog is a very chill and sweet dog too! Thank you for taking good care of my baby!”
About: Hello everyone! I grew up on a farm in a small village in Germany, always surrounded by cats and dogs. My Persian cat was with me for 17 years, and since then I’ve cared for a 6-month-old puppy, a senior dog, two cats and rabbits. Each pet has taught me something different, from handling puppy energy to supporting older pets with patience. I recently moved from Edmonton to Calgary, in a much smaller apartment with lots of places to hide properly :-). I’m not ready here for a pet of my own yet, but I enjoy spending time with animals and giving them attention and structure. Your pet matters to me! I want to make sure they have a calm and comfortable experience while their loved one is away. Even though I’m a dog lover, due to the size of my apartment, I only accept smaller dogs. I have a full flexible schedule and am able to work from home 7 days a week. I often go for a run and a daily walk in the river valley, which is around the corner. No house, no yard, but a small apartment with lots of green places around. My apartment is secure, it has lots of spots to hide if your pet needs space.
“Amazing service and very accommodating. Karma is very well taken care of and always super tired when I pick her up which is a huge bonus! Also amazing photos! Definitely worth the tip!”
“Mariel & Bram took wonderful care of our puppy while we were out skiing! They were so kind and caring, and we loved all the updates and photos throughout the day. It gave us great peace of mind. And their dog Pepe is very cute! We would absolutely recommend them.”
About: bring nearly two decades of hands-on experience as both a cat and dog owner, and that depth of real-life care shapes the way I look after every pet I meet. I've supported animals through every stage of life, from playful kittens and energetic pups to seniors who need patience and gentleness. I've cared for pets with different personalities and needs, including monitoring senior health changes and even handling nail trims. I'm calm, observant, and tuned in to body language, which helps animals relax and trust me quickly. I share my life with two cats and my dog Oreo (often mistaken for a very friendly skunk because of his coloring!), so I'm used to balancing different energy levels and making sure everyone feels secure and loved. What sets me apart is the combination of experience, intuition, and genuine affection. I treat every pet like part of my own little "zoo" and give them the same care I'd want for my own Pet care is a big part of my daily life. With two cats and my dog Oreo, my day naturally begins and ends with feedings, walks, and playtime, so a consistent routine comes easily to me and I know how much pets need it to feel secure. I'm flexible, whether it's a mid-day walk or evening enrichment, and I pride myself on being observant and attentive, making it easy to give extra snuggles or check-ins exactly when your pet needs them most. For me, adding your pet to my routine feels less like work and more like expanding my own "little zoo" community I operate with a true safety-first mindset. After nearly two decades of managing a multi-pet household, I'm highly attuned to body language, group dynamics, and what I like to call "pet politics
“Nikita genuinely cares about your pet! She’s such a thoughtful, sweet pet sitter. I trust her completely with Marty’s well being. I never have to wonder if he’s happy or having fun, each time I drop him off he’s excited to see her again.”
“I can't thank Sara enough for the wonderful care she provided for Evelia today. Evelia had an amazing time—she enjoyed the warm weather, spent plenty of time in the backyard, and had a blast playing in the pool. Sara's dog Frodo was a great companion, sharing everything, including Sara's affection. Sara was incredibly nice, sent fantastic updates, and was just lovely overall. I will definitely be bringing Evelia back to her home in the future. Thank you, Sara!”
“Bethnie and Bikram were great. It was my first experience with Doggy Daycare and I loved the updates and pictures on how Banter was doing. 100% booking them again, no question.”
“We are so fortunate to have DJ and Yvonne watching over our little Meatloaf. He really loves them! They are trustworthy and kind, and we would recommend more stars if we could. Thank you, DJ and Yvonne, for being so wonderful!”

About: What sets us apart is that we’re a reliable, pet-loving couple who both grew up with dogs and have been surrounded by them our whole lives. Between our families, we’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a slower pace. We understand how important routines are, so we follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions carefully to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. With two of us, your dog gets extra attention, supervision, and plenty of affection. We’re comfortable with basic puppy care, including reinforcing simple commands, crate routines, and frequent potty breaks, as well as providing gentle care and patience for senior dogs who may need a calmer environment. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because we plan our schedules to ensure pets receive plenty of attention and care. One of us works weekdays while the other has a more flexible, sporadic schedule, which allows us to adjust our time to meet each pet’s needs. We make time for regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. With two of us sharing responsibilities, we’re able to provide consistent supervision and ensure that any dog or puppy in our care gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. In our home, we create a safe and welcoming environment where pets receive lots of attention and regular outdoor time. We live in a condo with access to a large balcony, a terrace for quick potty breaks, and a park just downstairs, making it easy to provide frequent walks and exercise. We carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime, to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress while away from home. Pets are supervised closely, and we make sure they always have a calm, clean space to relax.

Bethnie and Bikram were amazing with Benji! They sent lots of photos and updates, took him on plenty of walks, had plenty of cuddles and were so flexible around drop off/pick up times. Benji was clearly very well looked after and had a great day. Would definitely recommend! 😊
Meg accepted my very last minute booking(same day) and helped me out tremendously so I didn’t need to stress about Cash. Cash was excited to see Meg again and happily went with her. The photo and message updates were so wonderful! I would highly recommend her!
Stephanie took great care of Mateo while I was at work. He was happy and relaxed when I picked him up, and it was clear that he had been well looked after. Mateo got along very well with her dog and seemed to enjoy his stay. Stephanie was reliable, caring, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. I will definitely book with her again and would highly recommend her to other dog owners ❤️
I would highly recomend Zipeng. My dog Mac is a mexican rescue who can be very nervous but he seemed to love Zipeng , he had a great time came back tail wagging! Zipeng was very friendly, proffessional and easy to get contact. He took some stunning pictures of Mac and went above and beyond with walks and even a little ear clean! I will definitely be contacting Zipeng again when I come to Calgary. Im sure my Mac will be very happy to see him again and I feel safe leaving my baby with Zipeng
Nadine took wonderful care of our 12 week old puppy Jasmine on her first ever daycare. She was very loving, I really appreciate that she sent photos and videos throughout the day so we could see how Jasmine was doing. Her dog, Pinky is such a sweet girl - she was so gentle and patient with an excited puppy chasing her around..lol We felt very comfortable leaving Jasmine with Nadine and so thankful for her care!
Emma was fantastic with our dog, who has separation anxiety. She communicated really well throughout, which gave us complete peace of mind. Strudel was clearly happy and relaxed when we picked her up, and it was obvious she had been well cared for. We’d happily recommend Emma and would definitely book her again.
We had an excellent experience! She took such great care of our dog, Baxter, while we were away for the day. It was clear he was well looked after, and we really appreciated that she took him on a long walk to make sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. Baxter came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Communication was great throughout the day, and it gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!
Courtney is AMAZING!! She took such great care of my dog for the day. He usually gets overstimulated in new environments and often refuses to eat, but Courtney made him feel safe and comfortable right away—he actually finished ALL his meals, which really surprised me! She also took him out for a couple of walks (which he loved!) and kept me updated throughout the day. Courtney is super friendly, easy to communicate with, and truly a gem. I’d trust her with my dog anytime!!
Almendra has been taking such great care of Echo, and I couldn’t be happier. She is kind, patient, and truly cares about the dogs. Echo comes home happy and well cared for, which gives me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog boarding/daycare!
