Cat Sitting Chestermere

“I have utilized Samantha to watch after my cat Alaska when I am out of town. My cat is very shy and timid and often hides and is scared of others. Samantha has been incredible with checking in on time, communication, cleaning litter, sweeping and refilling food and water. I never have to worry when I am away on vacation. Samantha is trust worthy and goes above and beyond. Very kind and gentle and will not force your animal to come out or be pet if they do not want to. Samantha has built trust with my cat over time and every time I leave for a trip it gets easier and easier to say goodbye, knowing how much care Samantha puts into your animals when you are away. Thank you Samantha! You are awesome!”

“Ashley did a fantastic job feeding/cleaning up after our cats and watering our plants while we were gone vacation. She followed instructions precisely, communicated daily, and was very quick to respond to our messages.I would highly recommend and will be definitely using her services again when we go on our next holiday.”

About: Since I was a little kid I've always favoured taking the neighbours dogs for walks and now that I am older that hasn't changed. While I don't have any pets myself, I cherish the pet friends I've made along the way. I pack walk in the SW of Calgary Monday to Friday 830am to 33pm and open to walks evenings and weekends. I have a part time job Saturdays no longer than 8 hours during the day. ​Whether I’m visiting your home for drop-ins or taking your dog out for a walk, safety and peace of mind are always my top priorities. I treat every home with complete respect and care for every pet as if they were my own. Secure & Mindful: I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are double-checked and fully secure before, during, and after every visit. Specialized Care & Medications: I have hands-on experience caring for pets with extra medical needs, including administering oral medications, eye and ear drops, and occasional tooth brushing. I have a deep understanding of anxious and sensitive pets. By paying close attention to their body language and subtle cues, I take a patient, low-stress approach to help nervous, shy, or easily overwhelmed dogs feel safe and comfortable.

“Theo is an all star! Took great care of my elderly dog while I was away for work. Truly put my mind at ease. I will definitely be calling on her for all my doggo needs”

About: My husband and I grew up on farms. We both have always been surrounded by animals. Our pets are nurtured, exercised and given lots of cuddles!!! I work full time but have a hybrid job that allows me to work from home some days. Walk my dog daily 2x/day min and play outside in back yard with balls:) Dog park is close and a nice swimming hole! I have a fenced back yard and a 9 year old calm bernese mountain dog that loves pets. Beautiful walking trails close and lots of space in the house.

“Karen stepped up last minute when my friend backed out of watching my cats the night before Christmas Eve. I cannot thank her enough for being available, and for the great care she took of my two cats while I was gone. She provided updates and our cats seemed to like her!”

“As always, Luna was well looked after! Alexandra does such a great job and even tidied up after Luna made a mess. She has now become our go-to sitter 😊”

About: I’ve had a passion for animals and been a pet owner my whole life. Also gained experience working at a force free dog daycare/boarding facility, learned different training techniques, dog safety and first aid. I have a goal to become a positive reinforcement dog trainer, that I am studying/ working towards. This is my career goal. I am aiming to make Playful Paws my full time adventure. If you have any questions send me a message and we’ll work together to make a schedule that fits yours and your pets needs. House/pet checks I’ll always accompany your pup outside in your yard for bathroom breaks and play. Walking service your dog will always be on leash for no accidents to happen.

About: I have owned animals of all kinds since I was little. I have extensive knowledge and experience in caring for hamsters, guinea pigs, cats and dogs - a high number of them being reactive, specifically. I have 3 years of experience working with another company like Rover and going on my fifth year with Rover, and have over 20+ years of animal care experience. I have walked and provided a safe place for senior dogs, puppies, high energy and reactive pups and adult dogs, special needs dogs (such as tripod dogs, post surgery care), and also provided extended stays on a regular basis. I offer two to three walks a day. We are close to many areas with walking paths for lots of outside time I’m a mom to a 15 year old. I work as Rover sitter part-time. Due to this, I cannot take on clients (pets) for house sits that cannot be left alone for no more than 4 hours. I’m currently only accepting house sitting, walks and drop-in requests. I am available for house-sitting overnight 7 days a week, along with extended stays. Please let me know if you are comfortable having my 14 year old attend the stay in your house-sitting request. Flexible for meet and greets and trial runs. I offer walks and drop-in’s a few times a week. If you are needing someone to walk, or someone to check in on your pet, please reach out and we can discuss. I am open to walking your pets and can typically accommodate pets in other areas than my own. I am available for drop-in visits most Mondays to Fridays, and occasional Saturday, currently. This is subject to change without notice. I can accommodate up to 2 to 3 visits per day, per client, dependent on location and day. A bit of background information on my son: My son volunteered at the Calgary Humane Society weekly, so we spent a lot of time with all kinds of animals. He raised $2,126 and donated it to the Calgary Humane Society in 2023. He has a passion for animals of all kinds and is learning how to better care for all animals, as he would like to be a veterinarian when he is older. We live in a single-family close to many walking paths where I can take pups to play and walk on leash (when I’m accepting boardings). If you live in another area of the city, you can be confident that I will walk your pup according to your preferences or find new adventures to keep their mind stimulated. I only house sit for one family’s pet(s) at a time. This also goes for walks as well. This is to ensure the safety of all pets when they are in my care, and to be able to focus on the specific individual needs of each pet. Many of my clients have non-reactive doggos, however, a number of my clients are reactive to other animals. For this reason, I cannot provide multiple families walks or house-sitting at the same time (at the moment). I am currently NOT accepting boardings . However, during a boarding, in my home there is no need for a crate, unless this is necessary for your pet(s), as I allow animals on the furniture and to sleep and play wherever they are most comfortable. For house sittings, you can ensure that I will care for your pet as per your instructions. This includes feeding, walks, play time, bedtime preferences (such as sleeping in a crate or if allowed to sleep on the bed), etc. I am able to care for pets that have dietary restrictions, need care post surgery or have special needs, (e.g., a tripod pup). For walks and drop-in’s, you can expect that I follow your instructions on how to walk and care for your pet during those times. Including how to access your pet for their walk and meal times. Since there’s only my 15 year old son and I living in our home, you can be confident that your pups have someone to play with, snuggle and give them attention.

“Rose was so good with my cats and sent multiple photos after every visit! My cats seemed to really like her! I would definitely use Rose again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 7. Everything started at my grandma’s house where I used to pet sit her cat which led to me owning a cat and a dog at our house which I had to pet sit when my mom and dad were away. My loves for pets started growing since then and am currently doing it with for 2 years here in Rover. I do petsit for our friends when they go away for family vacations and this has been an amazing experience. I do believe with my experience, we will be your perfect pet sitters🐶🐱 We are both working full-time and we are open to working weekdays and weekends too. We are in the house weekdays 5pm till 8am next morning and available in the house all day on weekends. We like going for walks and we can put your pets into our daily evening walks routine. Any suggestions on how to care for your pet or what your pet likes the most, are welcome😊

About: I have grown up around cats, dogs, and fish my whole life. I love taking care of animals and spending time with them. Being around animals is regulating for me. I love giving animals attention, however, I am, aware and respectful of animals who do not want to be touched or bothered. I don't mind spending a good amount of time with animals and ensuring all their needs are met. I have experience with all different types of dogs and cats. I am comfortable walking with dogs. I love spending time outdoors and going for walks. I work with families and go into different homes Monday-Friday. I am available on weekends and weeknights/lunches/early morning. I am an honest person, who loves all animals. I know how difficult it is leaving my cat when I go on holidays and it is always nice to have someone that you can trust to take care of them and come into your home. I want to provide that safety for others who are leaving to go away, whether that be for vacation, visiting family, work, etc., so that they can enjoy their time and not have to worry about their pets.

“We had Megan come in to visit/walk Luna while we were out in the weekend. She did such a great job, and really connected with our pup. It was such a relief to know she was in good hands while we were out. I'd highly recommend Megan.”

About: As a university student and lifelong animal lover, I provide dependable, compassionate care for pets of all kinds. I regularly volunteer at local animal shelters, where I work with animals of different ages, temperaments, and care needs. Growing up with special needs animals has given me extensive experience caring for pets that require extra patience, attention, and individualized support. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or has unique medical or behavioral needs, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. As a university student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Between classes, I regularly volunteer at local animal shelters and make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. Caring for animals is already a natural part of my week, and I’m committed to making sure each pet gets the attention, patience, and love they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, and any behavioral or medical considerations. I carefully follow all instructions provided by owners to ensure their pets experience as little disruption to their routine as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the home and the animals with the utmost respect. I keep the environment clean and secure, double-check that doors, gates, and leashes are properly fastened, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. With my experience volunteering at local animal shelters and caring for animals with special needs throughout my life, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior and responding calmly and responsibly. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free experience where both you and your pet can feel completely at ease.

“Angela was great and communicative while dropping into my place to feed my cat Lily while I was on vacation.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I recently moved to Canada from Ukraine, while my own dog, Oskar, stayed back home with my family. I miss him every day, and caring for other dogs brings me so much joy and helps me feel connected to what I love most. I’ve spent years looking after Oskar as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always treat them with patience, kindness, and love. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Before and after work, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I’m available for overnight stays, evenings, weekends, and longer bookings. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and provide regular photo and message updates, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I believe every dog deserves to feel relaxed, loved, and at home while their family is away :)

About: big big dog lover with years of experience, I can provide safe, engaging walks tailored to your pup's needs. Your furry friend will enjoy personalized attention and plenty of playtime while in my care 💕 we had a family dog that I took care of and always enjoyed taking friends’ and neighbors’ dogs on walky walks (as I like to call them). I currently work part-time and have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m always available for last minute requests! I usually know my schedule ahead of time and will adjust my availability accordingly. If weekly routines are wanted I can adjust my work schedule. I live in a very spacious apartment downtown. We don’t have a yard but the river right next door, as well as a big park and dog park only 1 block away!

“Hired Brianna to look after my animals over Easter and she did a great job with communication before during and after her care. Would definitely recommend her!”

About: English I have experience with both cats and dogs, and I’m naturally calm and patient, perfect for pets who enjoy a peaceful home. Indoors, I love cuddle time and playful moments, and I’m also familiar with enrichment toys and puzzle feeders that keep pets mentally stimulated. Outdoors, I have energy for hours, and I enjoy long walks and hikes. I care for pets under 30lbs, or larger ones as long as they don’t pull. Français J’ai de l’expérience avec les chiens et les chats, et je suis naturellement calme et patient, idéal pour les animaux qui aiment un foyer tranquille. À la maison, j’adore les câlins et les jeux, et je connais bien les jouets d’enrichissement et les casse-têtes interactifs qui stimulent l’esprit des animaux. À l’extérieur, j’ai de l’énergie pour des heures et je profite des longues promenades et des randonnées. Je m’occupe des animaux de moins de 30 lbs, ou des plus gros tant qu’ils ne tirent pas en laisse. English I work from home, so I am home most of the time to keep pets company. Once a month I go to Montreal for in-person work, but otherwise I am available almost every day. Français Je travaille de la maison, donc je suis à la maison la plupart du temps pour tenir compagnie aux animaux. Une fois par mois, je vais à Montréal pour du travail en personne, mais sinon je suis disponible presque tous les jours. English I am pretty flexible, only do clients’ home though (: Français Je suis plutôt flexible, je fais seulement la garde à votre maison (:
