Dog Sitting in Cochrane

“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!”

“Michelle did an amazing job with her drop-in visits to look after our cat Bear while we were away for almost 2 weeks! I felt very at ease knowing she would be there each day to check on her and our house. She was very friendly, responsive and went the extra mile for us to check on our house when the temperatures dropped. We will happily rebook with her again in future and would definitely recommend her to others!”

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats in my home all my life. I’ve been to many many puppy classes and dog training sessions. I’ve changed many litter boxes, and gone to countless dog parks, and been on hundreds of walks with dozens of dog breeds. I’ve taken pet first aid taught by one of CALGARY’a premiere vets Dr Drew Van Nekirk. I’ve also worked with many exotic animals such as gibbons, MCCaws, parrots, snakes, reptiles, raccoons, and so many more, as I was a docent at the CALGARY Zoo, and Santa Barbara Zoo in California. You could call me an animal lover but that would be an understatement. I’m more of a worshipper .😊😊😊 I look forward to meeting and caring for countless more fur babies through this site, and in my lifetime! I am extremely compassionate. I work from home part-time with a flexible schedule that I set myself, so I love the opportunity to go out during the day to walk happy fur babies! I can pick up your dog(s) and take them for a short or long walk depending on preference; I will make sure there is water to drink, and spare leashes. I can take them to off leash areas if that is permissable, and I have great success with training dogs on recall, and fetch, and good leash walking manners, as well as the basic 'sit', 'stay', and 'lay down' commands. For your feline friends; I'm happy to spend some bonding time with them, cuddling, playing, and of course cleaning their litter, freshening their food and water, and doing a wellness check.

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’ve grown up my whole life with two dogs, big and small, so I know just how important your furry friends are. Since I was 10 years old i’ve taken care of all types of dogs, and I am comfortable providing any type of care. I am a huge animal lover and have had much experience taking care of cats, rabbits, and even reptiles! I am currently in school studying a major in Biology and a minor in Zoology with hopes to spend much of my time around animals. As a dedicated student and lifelong animal enthusiast, I provide attentive, trustworthy care for your furry friends while you’re away. I am more than comfortable house/dog sitting over multiple nights and would love to have a companion in the house! Before caring for your pet, I will hope to be made aware of any special care necessary so I can be prepared and care for your pet in the best way possible. I am currently a student athlete on my summer break. This means that most of my time is spent working full time. I have a very consistent schedule working Sunday-Thursday with some odd times, either starting later in the day or ending earlier in the day. With that, I would plan to discuss my schedule with you in detail so that there is full understanding on when I will be around for overnight care etc. I am always open to discuss the best times needed for a walk around the block with your furry friend and am always available for over night stay, even working weekly. With that in mind, the amount of time your pet is able to stay alone will be the most important question before I am able to provide my care. I have a fenced yard and a lovely german shepherd to keep your fur baby company. There is no crate, but am able to bring one into my home so your dog can sleep peacefully.

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Marie! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I’m here to give you peace of mind. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved. I’ve cared for animals of all ages and personalities, and I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to detail. From belly rubs and playtime to sticking to routines, your pet will always get the care they deserve. 💕 📩 I’d love to meet you and your furry family member—let’s set up a time to connect! I work from home and I have lots of time for walks, hikes, dog park and play time with your furry friend. My schedule is flexible to fit your needs. Your pets will be treated just like my own, with love and care. I also send you updates and pictures at least once a day or per visit.

About: I started taking care of pets 30 years ago with my first dog an all black long haired German Shepherd & my first cat a tabby stray we brought in & named Tiger. I work from home & go for walks every lunch hour & after work so I would love to take your pup with me! It would also be nice to have the company of a pet if you need daytime care. Available most weeks for overnight care. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have a park close by which I like to walk to or along the river. Backyard is not fenced.

“Jacqueline looked after our 17 year old senior cat Rosi and we were initially nervous about having someone new come into our house but our fears were quickly put to rest. Jacqueline stuck to our requested schedule (2x per day) and made a point of communicating every visit to let us know how Rosi was doing, whether she was eating well, and she even took the extra care to vacuum. We have already booked in for the next time we will be away!”

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 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: I’ve had dogs all my life, and have been a dog lover ever since being a little girl! I have stayed at friend's, neighbour’s, and client's houses for weeks at a time, often looking after two dogs together, and have also been recruited to do check ins and potty breaks throughout the daytime. As I have dogs of my own, I understand the worries of entrusting someone with your precious pups. Whatever service is required, I’m always sure to take care of your pets as if they were my own! :) I currently work part time and attend university full time, but I have time throughout weekdays and on weekends to tend to your pets with a fairly open schedule! From daily walks, outside play time, cuddles, long or short visits, however you like your pets taken care of, I am open to follow any instruction you give! :)

About: I currently have two families I pet sit for but would like to expand whether it’s once a year or occasional. They each of two dogs and cats including a bengal. Just starting out as an esthetician I have a lot of availability and found passion in taking care of animals aswell I can accommodate to your pets routines and needs and can’t wait to meet new pups and kittys! I only have handful of clients from previous dog sitting so my availability is open I also don’t mind taking a drive if it’s far from me! I can accommodate to your animals needs wether if your cats personality is more shy or affectionate I will offer lots of cuddles or space to play same with dogs! With some hyper play and cuddles aswell I understand high energy dogs too my family has a German shepherd!

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

“Christopher was AMAZING with Jasper!! It was our first time using the app for drop-in and we’re so happy with the results! He made Jasper feel so comfortable and he was able to get him out of he’s comfort zone and get playing, thank you so much!”

“Meaghan has been an immense help with our lab puppy, Benny. Her kindness and extensive animal care knowledge have helped shape him into a good boy. Meaghan is very reliable; we have rebooked her regularly and would recommend her care to anyone. I don’t know what we would do without her!”

Jill C.

“We had asked Alicia to do daily drop ins to check on our cat while we were away. We’d never met so she took the time to come out for a meet & greet which we thought was great right off the bat. While we were away, she dropped in as we had scheduled ahead of time and she’d send us pictures at each drop in visit. We were impressed with Alicia at our meet & greet and she didn’t disappoint. We could see that she was very caring with our pets and also a responsible & punctual young lady. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her care for our pets again.”

Julie A.

“Sara was excellent to work with! She gave great communication throughout the day, with lots of pics - which helped us feel secure - knowing our pup was being well cared for. We look forward to our next outing and having you in our home with Molly. Thanks so much Sara!”

About: I love being around dogs and taking care of them! I've had a dog my whole life and currently have two. I have lots of experience with animals. I do have a full time job currently however I work from home frequently and can accommodate your schedule. I walk everyday with my dogs and enjoy being active. I live very close to pathways, dog parks, the river etc to ensure your dog gets lots of exercise! My dogs gets along with all other dogs so would love to join in on walks if your dog is good around other dogs as well and likes to play! Absolutely love animals and would treat yours as if they were my own! :) I have two small dogs myself so I am very active with them. I don’t have a backyard so I walk them several times a day. I am able to work from home frequently so I can accommodate any schedule and ensure every pet is getting what they need. I do not have a backyard so I am out walking constantly. I have access to several pathways and rivers near my home. My dogs have a specific feeding schedule so I am use to making sure they eat at a certain time etc.

“Kiara was amazing with my cats. They are very shy and she was able to pet one at the last visit. Her information and pictures sent were very thorough and detailed. Would book her again for any trips away.”

About: My name is Julie, We have our golden boy Jasper, who is a goldendoodle and is two and a haft year, He is neutered and is such a friendly pup and loves to have friends for day care :) But he stays at home if I’m needed to drop in or walk your pups, dogs, cats… hey I use to walk my cat in NS haha I’m here for it all and always challenge my self to new and def opportunities as well as I rise to any challenge that comes my way. I’ve been working on my new skills with grooming our own dog every second visit from the groomers in town and would be able to do some free trimming while taking care of your pet if needed no problem with request as I’d need to bring my tools unless there staying for the day care and after have had met you furr friends a few times before hand for your pets to become more comfortable with me first :) I have also recently taken a dog behaviour and training course and doggy chef course and can train your pet during my visits or our walks. Until then I look forward of meeting your furr friends and your self and taking good care of your pets for you as I have my own and know how much love they need and care. I currently work shift at work and can book days off monthly if set ahead of time if requesting for regular booking and have the privilege to as well to manage my own schedule and switch my shifts around if availability is available to accommodate taking care of pets if your going out of town, as my career is quite def then the norm and we just have to follow some rules to do so, but the down side of this is I’m always working holidays, most weekends and the busy time of the year with March break and summer but can also request specific days off of the week a month at a time if clients are weekly or monthly. I always bring our boy to the river off leash and also the ranch trails and carry wild animal spray and have bear spray with me at all time to best protect our selfs but wouldn’t take your pets out unless authorized to do so! I’ve taken pet first aid course online and also bad behaviour course so I can always have fun with your pets with trying to teach them new tricks and helping with some bad habits if needed and also only if I’m told to that it’s okay as well of course. Our morning routine is we walk jasper around the block every morning and to explore the surrounding trails that our amazing neighborhood has to offer, we are a very high energy family and are always on a mission for the next best thing and are very positive people my husband and I :) With some directions of the owner I will make sure your furr baby is loved and not stress and use my techniques from my pet courses and make sure they are happy and can’t wait for our next play date and refresh there water, make sure to lock everything up to keep the stranger danger away so there safe for there owner to come home too. I also carry a pet corrector spray that’s just noise incase there were to have any dispute with any other dogs while walking your pup or if that’s staying with us for a day care as well to make sure that the pets play nicely with each other with our dog Jasper.
