“I can’t recommend Felicity highly enough. She’s very reliable and communicates well, including through the photos she shares with me, taken during her visits. It really gives me peace of mind. Dogs can tell, and mine is clearly having a great time in any photos she sends. Thank you, Felicity.”

“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: 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 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.

“Thank you for taking such good care of our kitty Clean litter & a happy cat ! Perfect”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs through pet sitting, dog walking, and caring for family pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have experience helping care for pregnant Yorkies and young puppies, which taught me to be attentive, patient, and calm in different situations. As a figure skater, I’m very responsible, active, and dependable. I enjoy spending time outdoors and giving pets lots of attention, exercise, and cuddles. I have a mostly flexible schedule with figure skating training sessions in the afternoons most days. I am able to provide lots of pet care in my schedule throughout weekdays and weekends. With morning and evening walks. I follow instructions well. I am commited to following each pets routine well. Providing each pet with a fun and calm experience. By giving the right amount of food at the right time. Supervising the pets at all times. Providing long walks as well as lots attention and cuddles.

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.

About: I've been a dog owner since the age of 10 and have experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I enjoy staying active and love taking dogs on walks, hikes, and outdoor adventures. I'm currently completing a master's program at the University of Alberta, which gives me flexibility during the day for walks, drop-ins and pet care. My evenings and weekends are also open and I love spending time walking around the river valley. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your routines closely to ensure consistency and minimize stress. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to create a dependable, active and enjoyable care for your furry family.

“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: 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 just finished my first degree and am preparing to take the law school entrance exam; whenever your pets need care, I will be there. 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.

“Michelle and Adam were amazing with our senior dog while we were on vacation. They were very attentive to his needs and kept us in the loop with everything. Highly recommend them!!”

“Jaeden was very easy to communicate with and visited my two cats, checked food and water, with no issues. She even went above my expectations and swept clean the entire litter box area! Thank you Jaeden”

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: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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: 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.

“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!”

“Thanks again for your attentiveness!”
