Dog Sitting Chestermere

About: Welcome to your dog’s second home in Cranston’s Riverstone. I’m Rory, a full-time work-from-home sitter who cares for one family’s dogs at a time, so your dog gets focused attention and a predictable, low-stress stay. I’m home throughout the day and night, which means your dog is rarely alone. If I do step out briefly, it’s never for more than an hour, and I’m always happy to align with your dog’s routine and comfort level. ⸻ Daily routine, walks, and outdoor time We have a fully fenced backyard for regular outdoor breaks, play, and relaxed time outside. I’m also just two blocks from the Bow River pathway system, with paved and unpaved trails, hills, and quiet spots that are perfect for sniffing and exploring. Walks are tailored to the dog. That can mean a short 10-minute stroll, or longer 8 km loops (an hour or more) through the river paths and surrounding hills, depending on age, energy level, and preference. ⸻ A calm canine companion Your dog will share the space with Willow, my well-mannered senior Great Dane. She’s low-energy, gentle, and has spent now 3 years helping visiting dogs settle in comfortably. Her calm presence is especially helpful for dogs who benefit from a relaxed, steady environment while their owners are away. Because I only host one household at a time, the dynamic stays simple and manageable. ⸻ Experience and care approach I grew up on a farm and have cared for animals my entire life. I’m comfortable with puppies (typically not intact males), adult dogs, and seniors, and I’m happy to administer oral medications if needed. Dogs are welcome on furniture and can sleep in the same room as me. Crates are preferred for sleeping and downtime, and I can provide extra-large crates if requested, or use your own setup if that’s what your dog prefers. ⸻ Drop-ins and house checks In addition to boarding and daycare, I offer pet drop-ins and daytime house checks in south Calgary and northern Okotoks. These visits can include feeding, walks, companionship, plant watering, mail collection, and garbage day management. I work from home and can keep a 24/7 eye on your pet. When sitting we won’t be leaving them at home, and will take them on daily walks around the neighborhood, including the paved walkways along the Bow River in Riverstone. I work from home full-time and only look after one family’s dogs at a time, so pets get plenty of supervision and consistency. My home has a fully fenced yard for frequent outdoor breaks, and walks and playtime are always tailored to each dog’s needs. I closely follow feeding and care instructions, can give oral medications if needed, and send regular photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I am back to providing great pet care after a couple years off of Rover! I grew up on a farm and have cared for animals for as long as I can remember, chickens, newborn kittens, hamsters, dogs, horses, and fish. I have also worked with animals at a pet store where I interacted with dogs and cats all day! I also have my own baby cats that are very spoiled and I help my partner care for his dog with walks and enrichment when he has to work long hours. I am currently working with 2 dogs who are large and reactive, so I have experience with difficult dogs. I have a lot of energy and love to run and I also love to make animals happy so I am committed to making sure dogs get enriching walks and training time, and cats get interactive play time. Call me, your animal will thank you :) I work weekends and have a flexible work schedule during the week so just let me know what times you need pet care and we can work it out! When I am caring for any dog I make sure to take them on a variety of walks, such as sniff-walks, training-walks, and exercise walks. I also understand the importance of play for both cats and dogs, and make sure to incorporate that as well. I am also comfortable going to the dog park for socialization if the dog I’m with is good in that setting. I normally don't let them say hi to other dogs or people on a walk unless the person I'm watching them for specifically says it’s ok or they want me to socialize their dog while on the leash.

About: Enjoyed 13 years with my pal Chico from birth until he left for the rainbow bridge. Since then I’ve dog sat for my close friends both short (1day) and long (1 month) term. I’m semi-retired. I enjoy the companionship with furry friends, and want to offer my services to a wider audience. I’m calm, sensitive, and loving. I’m semi-retired and therefore have a lot of time at home to spend with a guest pet. Happy to take walks during the day and (weather permitting) spend time in my large fenced backyard. I have a large fenced back yard with lots of grass and shade trees. Dogs in my care will never be left unattended. Also happy to go on leashed walks around the neighborhood.

“Olga was very kind, patient, and friendly. Brownie was anxious, as he usually is when meeting new people, but he was noticeably calmer with her than with others. She gave him the time and space he needed to feel more comfortable, and I really appreciated her gentle approach. I'm looking forward to working with her.🙏🤗”

“Allison is the best! I felt comfortable with her the minute we met. She was professional and genuinely cared about my pet. I will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by family dogs of all shapes and sizes, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life! For the past two years, I’ve also worked as a dog walker, gaining experience with different breeds, personalities, energy levels, and needs. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your pup is up for a big adventure, a leisurely stroll, or simply some extra cuddles, I’m always happy to give them the attention and care they deserve! 🐾❤️ I currently have an additional part time job. Our shifts change seasonally but I usually am only working there about 25 hrs a week. I will have lots of spare time to care for your pets! I have a large fenced yard and a 5 level split with one senior dog. Can crate pups in needed and provide them with their own space depending on care needs

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10, neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets. There were a few times where I took care of 4 cats and 2 dogs for a month while my friends were on vacation. I currently work from home and have very flexible hours, day or night, last minute or days in advance. I will be able to come take care of your pets. I have been around dogs my whole life so I know how to read their body language and make decisions about what they may need or want. I am comfortable handling a nervous or aggressive dog.

About: I lived with a friend on a hobby farm. She showed me the ropes. I learned how to take care of all animals big and small. I am willing and able to assist in medicine administration. I have tons of free time that I’d love to dedicate to ensuring your furry friend has their needs through the day and even when you’re on vacation I work full time in the city and I hardly ever leave the province and can dedicate as much time needed with your fur babies as you need! I’m very good with early mornings and late night visits. I won’t have pets in my home as I have a cat myself, but I will ensure I know where all food, treats, toys and everything else they require before you leave. I will ask for an emergency response plan in the event I need to get ahold of you asap. I also have my own reliable transportation and will ask for the vet you use in dire emergencies. I will also supervise play time as I know how quick everything can go sideways. I also am very clean, if there’s a mess from your pet, it’ll be cleaned. And I have no problem cleaning litter boxes as well.

About: ** No longer taking reservations for 2018 - I work with dogs professionally. What started as a part time job has quickly changed my whole life- dogs are it now. I have experience with rescue dogs, seniors, tiny tiny toy breeds, special needs dogs (deaf, blind, epileptic), giant dogs and even aggressive dogs (I have the scars to prove it) I’m happy step in as a surrogate pet parent for anyone because I know this is my calling. I would never give service I wouldn’t accept for my little one. Dogs become members of your family and that’s how I will treat them, the same as I treat my own or my clients at work. I find that every dog has something special to offer and just need the right person to make them feel comfortable.

About: I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter where each and every dog gets different meals, some have medication that they take with those meals. Each dog I’ve taken cared of there have different personalities. I’ve also dog sat for my brother and family before. I’m currently unemployed, and job searching, so presently open to taking dogs for walks and/or dog sitting anytime of the day or all day. Sundays are somewhat of a personal day as I attend church in the morning but willing to accommodate any request so long as it doesn’t interfere with my religious practice. My standard for pet care would be feeding them once in the morning and once in the evening, more times if requested by the owner. Minimum of one walk per day guaranteed unless instructed for additional walks. If no additional walks are requested, your pet will get sufficient bathroom outings throughout the day. Any additional duties beyond that will have to be communicated with clear instructions. Happy to take your pet for a bike ride or run (mode depending on time of year and weather) if your pet would enjoy that.

“Lexi is a wonderful sitter! My two cats enjoyed her company and seemed more calm than usual when I came back from this trip. I was happy to get photo updates of them and know they were being well cared for :)”

About: Your dogs second best friend! I am a former dog walker looking to fill some extra time I have, what better way to fill it with your good boy/girl! If your pet has food limitations they're in luck as I am the owner of Dognut Cafe; organically handmade pet treats and pizzas! I certainly would treat your dogs as though they are my own. I instantly fall in love with every dog I meet! And... My son certainly takes after his Mom! He respects each dogs space, doesn't stare them in the eyes, and loves and respects them all the same. Currently we have a very friendly and very sweet Corgi named Eevee. As a pet care giver I would ensure your dog is clean before returning home, as well as leave a journal entry or a note behind informing you of our day. I can even send you photos during our time together. I can also do live videos, special occasions photo (Winter Solstice Reindeer / Christmas Stocking, Easter Doggy, National dog day, Halloween Costume Walk...) I have my first aid and pet first aid, so I can administer medications (need written directions for insurance purposes) as well as give them all the love they need while awaiting your return. Please reach out if your budget doesn't allow for these prices. I can always adjust on the back end, it's about fit not finances. Daycare / Boarding: Presently I work from home and have the flexibility to move around as I see fit. Buckmaster Park is a block away for shaded walks throughout the day. Perfect for dogs of all kinds! No fence, relief as desired. During assessment with any pet service provider it's important to discuss limitations and the length of time a dog can be left alone. This will be clearly outlined during our first meeting. Please note this is a household so there is human activity occurring; we leave to grocery shop, run errands, have friends and neighbours pop in. ALL of which will be in the best interest of the animals during this time away, and minimized if discussed prior to. PLEASE communicate the exact needs of your dog / schedule as I will mimic to the best of my ability. Dog Sitting (in clients home): no one else will be allowed in the home unless otherwise agreed upon: in writing!

About: Your pet’s new bestie! I’m reliable, caring, and fully prepared for walks, cuddles, zoomies, and dramatic side-eyes. Expect lots of love, attention, and cute photo updates while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, allowing plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and giving pets consistent attention, care, and companionship daily. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of attention, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

“Dale and Lauren came for a meet and greet with our dogs. The meeting went well and dogs were comfortable in their presence. We will book a longer drop-in session in the near future.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, and other small pets. My experience ranges from daily feeding, walking, grooming, and cleaning enclosures to providing companionship, basic training reinforcement, and medication when needed. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away, and I always treat every animal as if they were my own I’m a university student with most of my classes scheduled mid-day, which gives me a flexible schedule in the mornings, evenings, and many afternoons. This allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, feeding times, and extended care as needed. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, and get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. I tailor care to each pet’s needs—whether that means long walks, quiet companionship, litter or enclosure cleaning, grooming, or administering medication if required. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and a calm environment so pets feel secure while their owners are away.

About: I currently work from home in marketing from Calgary and I'm looking for some extra work that aligns with my passion for animals. I have experience taking care of animals (meal prep, grooming, feeding, playing etc.). I would love to meet your furry friends 😊 When I come to your house I will dedicate my time to providing lots of nourishment and entertainment for your pet. There's nothing I love more than cats and dogs, animals make me happy. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets. I work from home so there is alot of flexibility for time of day. I can also take last minute requests. I can be available on weekends as well. I live with an Australian Shepherd and take him for walks multiple times per day. I have experience feeding, cleaning and playing with dogs and cats.

About: Mon - Fri (7:30pm-midnight) Sat - Sun (All day) I have ten years’ experience caring for dogs and senior pets, including feeding, walking, medication support, gentle handling, and patient attention to individual routines needs. I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care on weekdays and weekends. I am available for walks, feeding, playtime, and drop-in visits. I will always confirm the time in advance and provide reliable care. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walking, medication, and house rules. I keep doors, gates, and leashes secure at all times, and I never let a pet off-leash unless the owner has clearly approved it in a safe area.make sure pets have fresh water, a clean and comfortable space, regular bathroom breaks, exercise, and attention. I also watch for any changes in behaviour, appetite, or health, and I contact the owner immediately if I notice anything unusual. In a client’s home, I respect their property, keep the area clean, and make sure everything is locked and secure before I leave. I will also send photos and updates so the owner knows their pet is safe and doing well.

About: I have always had a special connection to animals. I have lots of experience with large to small dogs. I love going on multiple walks with the pups as well as taking them on hikes out to the mountains (if that is something you wish). I have no problem taking them to a dog park as I have an suv. I will send updates on your animals with pictures and videos. I myself have a cat so I have a lot of experience with felines as well. You can count on me to give your fur babes the best love,attention, cuddles and care. If you would like me to stay at your home overnight I will treat it as my own and make sure to leave it in pristine condition. I look forwards to meeting you and making new furry friends.
