Dog Sitting Cochrane

“As a first time user, Sherry was helpful and thorough. From the moment I arrived home, I could tell that my pets received great care from her. Sherry exceeded my expectations with her questions, communication and the detail in which she attended to my pets needs. She’s fantastic!”

About: I have extensive experience in the pet-care industry. I started doing dog-walking and dog-running for a variety of sizes and breeds. Tailoring walks to their specific energy levels and needs. I then moved on to working in Dog Daycares as a room attendant for about 4 years, I gained lots of experience with pack dynamics, body language, as well as handling a multitude of sizes, breeds, temperaments and needs. I also assisted in boarding operations for daycare and did more hands-on care with medications, feeding schedules, etc. I recently have gained experience in taking care of cats and now have one of my own. Some of my experience is with kittens who needed training and lots of play. Others were elderly and needed special attention, needing to administer medications at specific times. I am a huge animal lover with lots of experience in this field and wish to provide the best possible care for your animals. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I have a flexible schedule at the moment and plenty of availability. I want to provide pets focused, hands-on attention and care. After stepping away from large daycare environments I want to continue using my skills gained in this field to provide care for animals, especially those who require fully-present enrichment, attention and excercise and may not do well in group environments and need a dedicated one-on-one caregiver. Creating a safe and trustworthy environment is a top priority for me, I am very experienced in reading dog/cat body language, respecting boundaries and adjusting my approach to every pets specific needs and comfort levels. I have experience with many animals of different sizes, breeds and temperaments and know how to navigate nervousness, anxiety and any other elevated emotions. I communicate clearly with owners so they know their animals are getting the best care possible and notify them of any problems or concerns in regards to their pets safety, health and needs.

“Paige helped us out with our senior Pomeranian while we were out of town and she took great care of him. There were many updates and photos so we were not worried at all how he was handling be home alone. She even completed some tasks around the house that we requested which we were so appreciative of. Definitely someone that’s willing to go the extra mile for the pups and their families!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have cared for them through every stage, from playful puppies to their senior years. I’m also my friends and family’s go-to pet sitter, looking after both dogs and cats of different ages and personalities. I especially love spending time with pets while their owners are away. Whether it’s going for a walk, stopping by after work for some company, feeding them, playing, or giving them lots of cuddles, I’m happy to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I work Monday–Friday from 8:00–4:00 and am based in NW Calgary, but I have plenty of flexibility around my work schedule! I’m available to stop by around my lunch hour (11:30–12:30) in SE Calgary, and I can also visit anytime after 4:00 p.m. depending on your location. My weekends are generally wide open, so I’m happy to accommodate longer visits, walks, or multiple drop-ins. I’d love to give your pets the care they need while you’re away — whether that’s a good walk, basic care, playtime, or most importantly, lots of attention and stimulation! I like to keep pets comfortable and stick to their usual routine as much as possible. When visiting a client’s home, I’m happy to provide meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, and lots of attention and cuddles. I’ll also make sure they get plenty of mental stimulation and company while their owners are away. I have experience administering pill medications to pets and am happy to follow any specific care instructions or routines your pet needs. I’ll take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’m a professional dog trainer with hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities. My experience includes obedience training, leash skills, structured walks, confidence building, and working with dogs who need extra guidance or structure. I believe walks should be more than simply getting a dog from point A to point B. They’re a chance to explore, get physical and mental exercise, practice good habits, and enjoy time outside. I tailor each walk to the individual dog, whether they need a relaxed sniffing walk, some extra exercise, or a little training mixed into their outing. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’d love to meet you and your pup beforehand so we can go over their routine, needs, and anything important for me to know. I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, except for sundays, making it easy for me to provide consistent and reliable pet care. I can fit walks, drop-ins, and other care into my daily routine while giving each dog the time and attention they need. My flexible availability also allows me to accommodate different schedules and care needs. I care for every pet based on their individual needs, routine, and comfort level. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and make sure their pet receives the appropriate exercise, enrichment, feeding, and attention. As a dog trainer, I’m comfortable handling dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I always prioritize safety, structure, and a positive experience.

About: I take my responsibility as a pet owner and pet sitter seriously not due to obligation, but because of a natural caring compassion towards animals. I have always had an innate affinity to be able to bond and connect with many different species and breeds of pets for as long as I can remember. I am a patient, kind, and empathetic person. I value myself for being clean and organized, as well as very passionate when it comes to caring for and nurturing not just people, but animals as well. I believe that animals are equal to humans in regard to how they should be treated with respect and shown attention and care. It is not in my interest to just earn a paycheck, it brings me great satisfaction and joy to be with and care for your animals. I have no preference toward either species, cats, or dogs. I enjoy being able to learn and spend time with both species, as well as every individual pet as being a unique with their own special quirky personalities. I look forward to meeting your pawsome partner and becoming their trustworthy ally should you decide to book my services to care for your furry little one(s)! I am growing and expanding my pet care network in the hopes of it becoming a Full Time and lifelong career path. I have no extra curriculars or commitments that I attend to besides the art program and my services offered here on Rover. Fenced front yard, as well as fenced back yard. Clean pet friendly home. Your pets will not be treated as just animals, but acknowledged as valuable family members. Discuss, coordinate, and draw up a thorough and detailed care plan for your pet as well as your home when booking for an in home pet sitting.

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.

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.

About: I have a special place in my heart for the runts and those fur babies needing love, and have been adopting and caring for pets since childhood. I have done lots of training, and research after adopting a rescue dog with severe separation anxiety. I believe strongly in listening to a pets nonverbal boundaries. I enjoy getting out in nature and would love for your dogs to join me. I'm excited to shower love on your fur babies when you need to be away. I work 8 am to 230pm Monday to Friday. I have lots of time and energy in the Afternoons, Evenings and Weekends to dedicate to caring for your loved animals. I have a fenced yard and love getting out the excess energy on long walks. I have experience crate training as well. Play time and interaction is so important for all fur babies, and can't wait to meet yours.

“Stephanie was lovely! She looked after our pack of 4 during our wedding in Bragg Creek. She brings all the good dog vibes and energy you’d want for your fur baby and we didn’t worry the entire night because of this. Will use again for sure!”

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: Hi! I’m Brianna! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve had my own dog since I was 12. He was my best friend and a huge part of my life, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us. They’re family! I’ve also worked at a pet boarding facility, where I cared for cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have experience house sitting large dogs and caring for cats in their homes as well. I’m comfortable giving medications, following specific feeding routines, and taking care of the not so glamorous stuff that comes with having pets. My goal is simple: I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog needs lots of walks and playtime, your cat needs some company, or your pet has a very specific routine, I’m happy to follow it. 🐶🐱 I work in person Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 4:30, so I’m primarily available for evening visits, overnight stays, weekends, and walks or drop ins outside of my work hours. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get the care and attention they’re used to. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow each pet’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific needs. I keep doors and gates secure, provide plenty of supervision and attention, and make sure pets are comfortable in their own environment. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and always leave them clean and tidy.

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: I was a dog mom 11 years and am not ready for one again so let me love yours. I am experienced with all kinds of breeds and training styles I have a flexible schedule so would love to fill my days with something I enjoy and dogs are it so best of both worlds We do not have a yard but large spaces around us as well I do believe if a dog is able to walk what better way then to do it verses just sitting in the yard.

About: I grew up on a farm in Scotland, so being around dogs has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years I’ve cared for friends’ dogs and fostered a couple myself, giving me experience with different sizes and personalities. I especially enjoy working with bigger dogs — they seem to take to me quickly, which I love. Dogs genuinely brighten my day. I even wrote a children’s book with my dad’s dog as the main character, which probably tells you everything you need to know about how much animals mean to me. I’m exploring whether my future lies in dog care, so I take every booking seriously. Your dog will get patience, calm handling, plenty of attention, and lots of affection. And if they don’t mind a bit of Scottish gibberish, we’ll get along brilliantly. I’d love the chance to look after your dog and earn your trust. I’m currently taking a career break and have plenty of time during the week. I prefer morning walks but am flexible to meet your schedule. I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. I supervise all play and make sure every dog in my care is safe, comfortable, and happy.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbours dogs over the last few summers, and truly I believe I’ve gained the patience and experience you’re looking for. Any day of the week works for me, it would work best for me in the mornings, or late evenings. I am available when you need me. I live next to a park where I would spend most of my time with your pet, along with living in a dog friendly apartment complex. I’m always available I have an amazing support system here at home to help out always and make sure they’re well taken care of. Since I work full time this helps a lot and when I come home all my attention is towards giving them the best care and love. I have a large fenced yard and many toys for all types of pets, I have two cats myself, as well as a chocolate lab. I also always have treats and a safe place for them to sleep and play indoors.

About: Hi, I’m Bethany! Here’s what you can expect when you choose me to care for your pets: Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles, I developed a deep understanding of animals and their needs. My family was involved in professional dog agility, and I’ve had the privilege of raising and caring for border collies. If you have a high-energy dog, I’m well-equipped to handle them. From helping little puppies take their first steps to supporting senior dogs enjoying their golden years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages. I’m experienced with administering medications, supporting mobility, and ensuring your pets are comfortable and well cared for. Throughout 2023 and 2024, I have fostered animals in need through the Calgary Humane Society. We’ve hosted a variety of animals, including kittens, seniors, and pets recovering from surgery. Every pet is treated with the care and respect they deserve. I understand that it’s not just about taking care of the pets—it’s about ensuring your home stays in top shape. With years of experience cleaning and maintaining an Airbnb with my family, I’m detail-oriented and committed to keeping your home neat, tidy, and well-maintained while you’re away. I love spending time outdoors, whether it’s taking energetic dogs for a run or leisurely walks with seniors. Whether it’s leashed or off-leash, we’ll make the most of our time outside, and your pet will enjoy every minute. I’m dedicated to providing quality care for your pets and home, ensuring everything is taken care of while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! My family dog typically lives with me for the summer as I have more time off work and I live an active lifestyle that lends itself well to a high-energy pet! I take him on an off-leash walk for at least an hour each day. I ensure that animals are not left alone for longer than 4 hours at a time. I work a hybrid job between home and in-person so I am able to accommodate the animals schedule into my routine very easily. My partner and I live in a pet-friendly apartment shared with a housemate. We can easily crate your dog if that is a part of their routine. Otherwise most hours of the day one of the two of us is home to provide all animals with us with the care and attention they require.

“Awesome cat sitter! She sent me lots of cute pictures and kept me updated on how they were doing ?”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine love for animals and my firsthand experience as both a pet owner and pet sitter. As a previous pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and caring to look after your pets. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, providing companionship, and maintaining their routines to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their personality, needs, and preferences. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their furry family members are happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. As a rotational worker, I have two weeks off at a time, which gives me the flexibility and availability to dedicate quality time to caring for pets. During my time off, I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals through dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. Having been a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of maintaining consistent feeding, exercise, play, and companionship routines to keep pets happy and comfortable. I tailor my care to each pet's needs and the service being provided. For dog walking, I ensure pets get safe exercise, fresh water, and plenty of attention. For drop-in visits, I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, medication (if required), litter box cleaning, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. For pet sitting in a client's home, I maintain the pet's normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress, including feeding schedules, walks, exercise, and lots of affection. As a former pet owner and experienced dog and cat sitter, I understand the importance of reliability, patience, and keeping owners updated on their pet's well-being.
