“She got along with our dog quick and that means something because he takes a while to warm up to new people especially if it's the first meeting. Karlee was good in updating us and she catered to one little request which I appreciate. We also love the fact that her home felt like a home for our dog. I wished Karlee have a fenced backyard because our dog loves to run and play. Regardless, he was taken care of. Would still rebook once I'm ready again to leave my baby boy.”
“I was super comfortable leaving my dog with Jo for the weekend. She has a great set up with a fully enclosed backyard, which meant lots of space for play and bathroom breaks. She took great care of Meeka, letting her snuggle in on the bed, getting all the love she wanted. She treated her like her own, which I’m very grateful for! Will absolutely use her again when Meeka needs a sitter.”
“Paige was amazing with my dog and I felt confident that she was being very well cared for while I was gone. She goes above and beyond with her daily report cards which I didn’t even know I wanted! My dog gets anxious when away from home but Paige made her feel as comfortable as possible - I’m not even sure she wanted to go home!”
“Our experience with Jeffrey and Janine was absolutely wonderful. I was a bit anxious leaving him but they took such amazing care of our dog and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. They gave us frequent updates which were one of our favourite parts - thoughtful, quirky, and full of adorable little Chikoo moments that always made us smile and we looked forward to it. They were so sweet with him, giving him lots of love, attention, and pets. It was clear they truly cared about making him feel comfortable and at home. He also got to spend some time with their dogs, which was a lovely bonus as my dog is usually a bit reserved so loved to see him interacting. Knowing he was well cared for and comfortable, gave us so much peace of mind. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Tawnya & Jeremy take good care of our dog whenever we are out of town. He gets to play with their kiddos and loves hanging out on their deck! We get regular updates from them and have never had an issue. Would highly recommend Tawnya and Jeremy!”
“Lisa is sooooo great! Nothing but good words for her! I originally booked a different sitter but that sitter canceled and asked us to take Soba back as they can't handle my furbaby. It was so stressful, but Lisa was my saviour!!! She agreed to take care of Soba and didn't think twice about taking him. Soba even got along with her dog. She sent me pictures to update me whats going on with him and their daily activities. I feel so happy knowing that my furbaby is really taken care of. Thank you so much Lisa! I appreciate you. I would definitely recommend and use her service again. Thank you.”
“Dominica was so great with our panpan and we really appreciated her accepting our last minute booking. She sends updates and we really felt that our dog was happy when we picked her up. It just means that they gave her so much love when she was with her ?”
“Jacqueline and her husband were wonderful with Floki. My dog is very shy and needs time to adjust to new people, and they were so patient until he felt more relaxed. I'm glad I found a place where I can leave him knowing he's safe and well cared for. Thank you!”
“Kelly, Derrick and their lovely children did an incredible job watching our sweet dog. They all went above and beyond for rooster to feel at home but also to keep our minds at ease! Our boy had a sore tummy while we were away and they went above and beyond to keep him comfortable and happy! I could not have asked for a better experience and will definitely be using them again!”
“Our experience with Em (Apiramon) was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond our expectations. She provided exceptional care for our furry friend. We were delighted with the regular updates and pictures she sent us, which kept us connected and reassured throughout the day. What impressed us most was her willingness to accommodate our dog's medical needs by administering his necessary treatment. Her dedication and attentiveness were remarkable. Without a doubt, we will be choosing her services for future bookings. She truly provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment for our beloved companion. Highly recommended!”
“It's our first time to leaved our Baby Dog Jasper to a House Sitter, Courtney and her Family is amazing they really taking care of my Baby Jasper they are Dog lovers, i highly recommend Courtney don't think twice to choose Courtney your Baby pets are safe to Her. Thank you Courtney”
“We feel Jeff treats our fur baby like his own. It was her first sleep over and he kept us updated on her which gave us piece of mind. She was a nervous-Nelly and Jeff spent the night by her side. Great service.”
“Cleo spent 3 days with Kaelyn and Elle. She had a great time! She had a fun playmate in Elle and a comfortable home to relax in . I could see Kaelyn was attentive to her and kept us updated with pictures, videos and messages which is always reassuring. Also Kaelyn was very friendly and flexible which also made us feel Cleo was in good hands. It was frigid weather for our dog to spend too much time outside. But I can imagine when the weather is milder, Kaelyn will take her on some long active walks.”
“Petrina was amazing with our 2 little doggies. They were very nervous staying overnight for the first time with a new sitter. When we picked them up we could see how happy and cared for they were. We would definitely use Patrina again. I highly recommend her.”
“Angie and her mom were fantastic! It was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous about boarding Willow, but they made the whole thing super easy. They sent me videos and updates, and Willow did great with them — zero issues at all. She even came home with a nice brush! Really great experience and I’d definitely book with them again.”
About: One‑on‑One Care Only I’m not just a sitter - I’ve personally raised, trained, medically cared for, and rehomed rescue dogs with every kind of personality. I’ve looked after dogs from intake all the way through training, post‑surgery recovery, and final adoption, including interviewing families, checking references, and ensuring each dog found the right home. At home, your pup gets two full‑time adults who work remotely, live quietly, and give constant supervision. We have a multi‑level home, a fenced yard, baby‑gate separation zones, and even a dedicated dog room when needed. We use routines, positive reinforcement, and motion‑detection cameras to keep dogs safe and comfortable. I’m confident with all sizes, puppies, anxious dogs, and dogs with medical needs (except subcutaneous fluids). My wife is gentle, loving, and incredibly attuned - she’s the kind of person who wakes up at the slightest whimper and helps nervous dogs feel safe. We don’t have children, we’re home all day, and we genuinely love having a dog around. Caring for dogs has been part of my life since childhood, and volunteering at Calgary Animal Rescue Society has only deepened that passion. I offer a high degree of care and attention to detail to your dog - one dog at a time, with all the love they deserve. Pet care is naturally woven into our everyday life. Both my wife and I work 100% remotely, so we’re home all day and able to give consistent supervision, companionship, and structure. We start our mornings with a potty break, followed by calm indoor time while we work. Throughout the day, we take regular breaks for training, enrichment, and play - including hallway fetch, outdoor time in our fenced backyard, and structured leash practice. Because we’re homebirds with a quiet, multi‑level house, caring for a dog fits seamlessly into our routine. We maintain predictable feeding times, bathroom schedules, and rest periods, and we use baby gates and a dedicated areas when a pup needs space or decompression. In the evenings, we focus on bonding, gentle play, and winding down. We’ve cared for many rescue dogs full‑time, so supporting a dog’s needs, whether behavioral, medical, or emotional is already part of our normal rhythm. Having a dog around genuinely improves our day, and we love giving one dog at a time our full attention and a calm, loving home. When caring for pets, I focus on creating a safe, structured, and comfortable environment tailored to each dog’s needs. In my home, dogs benefit from a quiet multi‑level space, a fenced backyard for outdoor time, and designated areas like baby‑gate sections or a dedicated space when they need privacy or decompression. I use positive reinforcement and calm introductions to help dogs settle in confidently. For clients who prefer care in a specific manner, I follow their established routines like feeding, walks, medication, crate use, and household rules. So their dog feels secure and understood. I pay close attention to behavior, comfort, and stress signals, and I keep owners updated with clear communication and photos. My goal is always to provide reliable, attentive care that respects each dog’s personality and needs.
“Aimee was fantastic! She was so friendly, kept us updated and is very responsive. You could really tell how much she loved dogs and we were extremely comfortable leaving our precious Nova in her care. She went above and beyond with walks and making her feel loved too. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve always enjoyed caring for animals and have hands-on experience with dogs. I helped care for my family’s dog for five years, including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they were happy and well cared for. I also occasionally pet sit for family and friends, giving me experience looking after dogs with different personalities and routines. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to providing pets with a safe, comfortable, and caring environment while their owners are away. I’m available for walks during the noon hour and after 5pm Monday and Fridays. My weekends are mostly free and can take your dog out for longer walks during this time I am always aware of where pets in my care are located. I’m attentive and with proper communication, I will care for your pet and home like it’s my own
