House Sitting in Camrose

About: With over 6 years volunteering, fostering and working for my local animal shelter and veterinarian I have seen many different dogs come and go. From the friendliest to the unsure/scared pups I tailor my approach to each dog I meet to make them feel as comfortable as I can! Currently working 4 days a week I can happily visit your pet in the morning for breakfast and the evening for dinner! If pet sitting on a day off I have lots of extra time with your furry loved one for some fun with toys, cat tv, snuggles...whatever they are game for! Safety is number one in my books; making sure doors are locked, access to unsafe areas is restricted, and nothing dangerous is left out is essential!

“Once again, our experience with Sara was incredible. She took great care of our girl who clearly enjoyed their week together. Our house was impeccable when we got back. But most of all we had a happy and relaxed dog thrilled to welcome us home. It’s such a relief to know she’s in great hands when we go away. We will absolutely use Sara again for our next vacation!”

About: Hello, I've had plenty of experience working with all breeds of dogs i work at a doggy day care and mange 2 of there buildings! i enjoy dog sitting/ cat sitting because it still allows a dog/cat to be in the comfort of their own home where you know your pet is not only safe but well cared for. Pet care fits into my routine because its nice coming home after a long day and knowing i can go to someone's home and care for their animal and nothing makes a person happier then snuggles from their animal. I do my best to provide the pet a safe place where they can feel comfortable around me so they do not stress while their parents are away. I also like to maintain a very clean environment by cleaning the parents house while i am their so they don't have to come home and worry about having to clean up anything.

“Jasmine has excellent communication with a wholesome heart, kind personality, and comforting way about her right from the first meeting. Jasmine stepped up beyond my expectation and was able to show positivity, compassion and maturity while also thinking ahead and outside of the box which proved to me that my pets were in good and very capable hands. Looking forward to choosing her to care for our pets in the future! Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes breeds and personalities my whole life. I am comfortable and confident caring for dogs that are small, large, shy, social young or old. For the past two years, I have volunteered as an advanced dog walker with Edmonton Humane Society, where I have received hands-on training with their expert Behaviour Team. I’m currently completing an online diploma, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I’m available for pet care throughout the week and on weekends morning afternoon or evening. Since my studies are self-paced I am able to easily prioritize your pets needs and give them attention time and care they deserve whenever it’s needed. While I don’t host pets in my own home, I have plenty of experience, caring for pets in their own space and staying at clients homes. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure in a familiar environment so I always do my best to maintain the usual routine Whether it’s drop visits or overnight stays I treat your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect

“Brooke was so good to me kitty, Ru! She was super friendly and followed all my directions and my cat was a happy little fellow when I got home. Brooke was awesome at communication and I felt I knew what was happening with Ru the whole time and totally comfortable having Brooke in our house. Thanks again, Brooke! Ru misses you!”

“Lyra was, without a doubt, the most skilled, patient and friendly dog sitter (and trainer!!!) we have EVER had. Our dogs adored her, and she went above and beyond to train our new rescue dog, working on his fears, barking and leash pulling. I didn’t worry once about either dog, we were updated frequently with pics and training progress, and we came home to HAPPY, brushed dogs and a spotlessly clean house. I can’t recommend Lyra enough!!! Amazing.”

“Christine was awesome! She cared for Adam and my house as if they were her own. I have absolutely no complaints and I definitely will be asking her to watch both of them again!”

“Zenna was amazing with my babies! They warmed up to her quickly and I was able to enjoy my vacation without having to worry about anything! Thanks again for your help!:)”

About: Animals have been at the centre of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and cats, and I’ve shared my home with beloved cats for most of my adult life. Over the years I’ve also co-habited with small and medium dogs, cared for senior pets, and supported many animals through the last gentle stages of their lives. My professional background is in environmental science (35 years), a path I chose out of love and devotion to animals, wildlife, and the natural world. Outside of work, I spent years volunteering with animals — from supporting elephants and reptiles at the Valley Zoo to caring for over 70 elephants at an orphanage in Sri Lanka. I even trained one elephant, Devi, to paint using positive reinforcement. I’ve also cared for small exotic pets, including ball pythons and a garter snake. Today, I bring all of that experience into calm, compassionate, reliable pet care for dogs, cats, and small animals. I’m gentle, observant, patient, and very attuned to the emotional needs of animals — especially seniors or those who are shy, anxious, or needing extra support. Skills & Care Abilities: Administering medications with confidence: pills, injections, liquid meds via syringe, and puffers for dogs and cats Handling senior or special-needs pets with patience and gentleness Cat nail trims Dog bathing and brushing; cat brushing (hairless cat bathing and grooming) Experience with freshwater and saltwater aquariums Comfortable with reptiles and other small animals Master Gardener/Composter certified (City of Edmonton) — happy to care for plants, yards, and gardens as well Calm, confident, experienced around all animal personalities Clear communication and daily updates I’m recently retired, which allows me to offer steady, unhurried, fully present care for the animals I look after. When I’m not volunteering in Asia or Costa Rica, I work quietly from home doing computer-based volunteer work — which means your pet will have company, consistency, and a peaceful environment throughout the day. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to take dogs out for frequent walks, playtime, and pee breaks, tailored to their age and energy level. I’m equally happy to spend long, calm stretches with small dogs or cats curled up on my lap. I genuinely enjoy the simple companionship of animals, whether that means gentle snuggles, quiet presence, or attentive support for senior pets needing extra patience. My home routine is calm, predictable, and nurturing — ideal for pets who thrive with kindness, attentiveness, and a steady rhythm. Because I specialise in caring for cats and small dogs in their own familiar environment, my focus is always on creating a safe, calm, and reassuring experience for your pet while you’re away. In Your Home (House Sitting & In-Home Care) Your pet’s comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely — feeding times, walks, medications, bedtime rituals, favourite toys, and comfort preferences. I maintain a quiet, predictable environment, and I am attentive to small changes in behaviour, appetite, or energy level. I double-check doors, gates, and windows to prevent escapes I ensure safe handling during comings and goings I keep a tidy, hazard-free space I send regular updates with photos so you always feel connected I provide lots of gentle companionship, cuddles, lap time, and enrichment Cats and small dogs often bond quickly with me due to my calm presence and decades of experience. Drop-In Visits For drop-ins, I offer flexible, attentive care — feeding, litter cleaning, short walks, medication administration, brushing, playtime, or simply quiet company if your pet prefers. I take care to observe how your pet is feeling each visit and adjust my approach accordingly. Overall Approach With lifelong experience with animals — including senior pets, pets needing medication, and shy or anxious animals — I bring patience, reliability, and a gentle, steady energy. My background in environmental science and animal care has taught me to be observant, respectful, and attentive to detail. Your home and your pet are treated with the utmost care, respect, and kindness.

“Cierra was fantastic. She was really accommodating with our initial meet and greet as we didn’t yet live in the area so we met at a park and went on a little walk. Her communication was great, she would send regular updates of the dogs, their eating habits, how they were adapting and would include photos. She went the extra mile and even gave the dogs a little toy. This was a long stay for over 2 weeks and she looked after our house so well and left it in great shape. Would absolutely recommend! Thanks Cierra!”

“AMAZING! extremely communicative and sent tons of photos. We could feel and see how much she loved our fur babies and we felt so secure leaving them with her. We will absolutely reach out next time we need a pet sitter.”
