About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. I’ve fostered dogs ranging from young puppies to rescue cases coming from neglect, so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs and personalities. I also worked at a dog and cat boarding kennel, where I supervised playgroups and cared for a wide variety of client pets. This experience made me very confident in reading canine body language, managing group dynamics, and ensuring every pet stays safe, comfortable, and happy. With a background in veterinary medicine as a Wildlife Biologist, I’m confident administering medications, monitoring vital signs, and keeping a close eye on your pet’s overall health and wellbeing. You can trust that your pet is in capable, attentive hands. I’m also very active—I’ve spent years hiking in the Rockies, so whether your dog loves long walks, runs, or high-energy play, I can easily keep up! As a former dog owner of 14 years, I understand the special care and patience senior dogs need, as well as the deep bond we share with our pets. In addition, I’ve taken training courses and worked closely with my foster dogs on skills like crate training and leash manners to help set them up for success. Your pet will be treated like family, with lots of love, attention, and personalized care. I have recently completed my Masters degree and am doing some online coursework to continue building my skillset so my schedule is very open and flexible to the needs of your pet! I take safety and comfort very seriously, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I’ve created a pet-friendly environment with potential hazards in mind, any plants are kept in a closed-off room so they’re completely inaccessible, and since there are no children in the home, there are no small toys or choking risks present. My space is also senior-friendly, with only one stair, making it easier and safer for older dogs or those with mobility concerns. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, including monitoring water intake based on their breed, activity level, and the weather, to ensure they stay properly hydrated and healthy. Overall, I aim to provide a calm, secure, and attentive environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years through dog walking, overnight stays, and pet sitting. One of the first puppies I ever pet sat for is a dog I still care for years later, which has allowed me to build a strong relationship with both the dog and owner over time. Last summer, I started doing overnight stays for two dogs and gained experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping dogs comfortable in their home environment while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I genuinely love spending time with animals and always try to make dogs feel safe, cared for, and treated like family. I’m patient, reliable, attentive, and understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits well into my schedule alongside my two part-time jobs. I work at a golf course in Bragg Creek and also do housekeeping and laundry at a hotel in Cochrane. My shifts vary, which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I’m good at planning my schedule ahead of time to make sure pets get the attention, care, and consistency they need while their owners are away. I currently provide pet care in my client’s home, where pets are usually most comfortable and able to stay in their normal routine and environment. At this time, I’m unable to offer boarding in my own home, as the people I’m currently staying with do not allow pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible through feeding schedules, walks, playtime, companionship, and overnight care when needed. I always try to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment and treat both the pets and the home with respect and care.

“Sara has been wonderful! We adopted a rescue who takes time to warm up to people and he gravitated to her right away. He is still learning his new space and Sara has been working with me to help him with that, especially when on leash outside. I was so nervous about this whole process but Sara has set my mind at ease with it all. I will continue to book her services as long as she is available!”

“Deborah was such a great cat sitter! I received daily updates, she fed them perfectly and cleaned the litter boxes. Highly recommend Deborah to anyone to look after the pets!”

About: I grew up on a farm, and animals are a part of our lives. Dogs and cats were a part of my life from puppy age to senior age. Usually, the animals on a farm were our playmates when we were children, and they played the role of the family protector. And now I like to do the same for them. I am pretty open. l keep my life simple and do not over-schedule. I like to keep it so that schedules run smoothly for myself and the customers. I work from home and I am in control of my schedule. I make sure I follow the clients directions to keep their animal safe, leashes on when needed, doors closed quickly, gates checked that they are closed. I do my best to make sure they don't eat anything on the ground.,I have 25 years experience with dogs and cats. Love throwing toys for the dog to chase and retrieve. And I have the patience to take it slow with older dogs on walks.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats in my life for over 50 years and have an amazing ability for having them relate to me. I am only working a full day on Friday's and my husband works out of a home office so I am very flexible regarding availability. I live on an acreage with a fenced yard and two friendly Maltese dogs and a dog friendly cat named Nigel. Dogs names are Maggie and Monty.

“Nastassia was did a great job taking care of our cats, plants, and home in general while we were away for a two-week trip. She was very attentive and open to feedback. We felt so much more at ease knowing that she was there to help. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I remember myself. When I was a child I had two amazing puppies and we always had fun together. Also, I used to have a very cute cat. In addition I have experience sitting with my friends’s pets. I can walk, feed, bathe and play with your pet with pleasure. Currently I am working from home. I have a very flexible schedule. I can spend time with your pet as much as it is needed. I live in pet friendly apartment. In my community we have off leash park and lots of trails for comfortable walking. I’m very responsible person without any bad habits. I treat all animals with respect. You can rely on me.

About: I have LOVED dogs since I was a child, growing up with a loyal German Shepherd, and a goofy Black Lab. That love of dogs has never left but I have not owned a dog as an adult due to work and travel, but the right time is slowly coming closer for me! I am currently volunteering at the CAHS as a dog walker and I absolutely love it! It's also been great experience handling dogs with a wide range of personalities. Last year, my partner and I dog-sat for friends in their apartment for a few months while they were out of the country. While this dog did have some behavioural issues, it was a very rewarding experience for us to have a dog in our daily lives again and we learned a lot along the way I'm currently not working and my partner is away for the summer so I would love to fill some of my time walking and doggy-sitting. I would love to take your dog on a hike, trail walk, or to an off leash park. Whatever they enjoy, I'm down for an adventure with your pup! Or we can do belly rubs on the couch, I love that too!! I live in a pet-free/child-free apartment, right across the street from a park for quick, easy potty breaks. I enjoy being outside and can offer multiple walks a day. I would love to discuss your pets needs and routine to make sure their stay with me is comfortable and fun for both of us

About: I currently offer house sitting and pet care. For stays longer than 3 nights, I sometimes bring my own dog — a 5-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who is quiet, fully house-trained, and gets along well with other dogs. He is always kenneled when left home alone for safety. Bringing my dog is completely negotiable, and I’m happy to work with owners who prefer their dog to be the only one in the house. I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before finalizing any booking to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I do work just under 40 hours per week, but it’s extremely important to me that dogs get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and a full potty break before I leave for work so they’re comfortable while I’m away. I’m always home promptly after work to give them the attention, love, and care they deserve. In my spare time, I love activities where dogs can come along — walks, outdoor time, and trips to the dog park. I’m happy to take dogs on walks and to the dog park at no extra cost, as long as owners are comfortable and it suits their dog’s needs. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and following any specific care instructions your pet may have. I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home, and I aim to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love to chat and answer any questions you may have! I work just under 40 hours a week and when I am pet sitting I ensure I am home promptly after work to make sure the dogs get the care and attention they need. I always make sure that any gates or fences in the yards are closed when the dogs are outside , never let them bark for more then 1-2 minutes. I make sure potty breaks are given at least every 2 hours when I’m home and that they are fed and happy all the time

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life, owning two big dogs and currently 5 cats back home. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes and love to see all the different types.

I have reliable transportation, and flexible hours to help accommodate other people’s needs I spend lots of time with my own pets making sure they are happy and healthy.

About: I've lived in households with pets for most of my life, and have also worked in shelters for both dogs and cats. I am confident I am the kind of person you're looking for.

I have a yard and also pay attention whenever pets are around; if I'm over to help you, I will do any sort of thing you need, and if your pets are over here, I will guarantee they will always have water and will be let out whenever necessary.

About: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Back in business⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We took a few years off of Rover to pursue some personal endeavours, but we are back. Now calling Cochrane AB home, our love for pets is bringing us back to Rover. We have a new member of the pack and that’s our sweet 3 year old boy banked Biko. He’s a Rottie mix and the most sweet and goofy. He’ll March any pups energy. We take pride in going above and beyond in accommodating all owners' requests for their dogs and in being reliable caretakers of their beloved pets. We also make it our goal to send regular "pupdates" of your pet and all the fun we're having so you don't miss out on the action. About us: Madeleine & Logan live together and although they both work full time (often from home), it's not unusual for their schedules to be opposite of each other. That being said, your pooch will almost always have someone home to keep them company. Which means many opportunities for potty breaks, and short walks throughout the day. They live in a pet-friendly apartment complex located close to many trails that lead to designated dog parks and to the river. They are an active couple who love to be outdoors. Between the two of them, your sweet four-legged friend will be in the best of care. They both love dogs and believe that every owner should feel reassured that their pets are being loved and cared for like family, and confident their pets are having fun at the best doggy vacay in town! ⭐Spring 2021, we are introducing our day-hike program! We are offering a service where we take your dog for a day out to the trails for a hike! Our promise is they will come home to you happy, exercised, and feeling accomplished with a few destination photos as proof for their 'gram.⭐ If you'd like your dog to come along for the exercise and adventure, please reach out to us so we can answer your questions. (You may need to put in a request for a dog walk to initiate a conversation through the rover app. No obligation and no last-minute fees will be charged for inquiries! Once communication is established, we can notify you of the days we have availability for your pup to tag along to go hiking. If we sound like a good fit, please reach out to us, we are looking forward to meeting you and your pup! Our schedules are often opposite of each other so there are always plenty of opportunities to get your dog out and about. We can accommodate any energy level any day of the week! We live in a pet-friendly apartment, but we are close to a great walking path system near both elbow and bow rivers. There are plenty of unofficial off-leash dog parks nearby, in addition to a large off-leash space. We even have access to a private dog run in case your doggo doesn't care to play with other dogs. We also have plenty of experience with dogs that don't play nice, so we're not intimidated by nervous or aggressive behaviour. We just stick to the walking routes that we've identified with fewer triggers.

About: Trusted Pet Sitter & Foster ! Caring for animals has always been more than just a passion—it's part of who I am.
