“Brandon always takes great care of Diesel on their walks. It's been a real help having him come by.”


“Karen is absolutely wonderful, I just had surgery and couldn’t walk my dog I messaged her and she replied right away which was super awesome. I was also struggling on this app and how everything worked, she came over and told me how to use the app and took the time to meet my dog and introduce herself. Karen took my dog for a nice long stroll. He came home such a happy boy! 😊 so thankful she was available and made the time for us!”


“Andrea has been a true lifesaver for me!! She takes such good care of Frog and is also so very reliable and helpful!! I don’t know what I would do without her! Frog loves her to pieces and so does my cat!!🐈⬛”


“Stephanie is the best. Her love for animals really shows. Rider has anxiety and Stephanie is so calm and caring he is just fine with her. Perhaps his mom has more of the anxiety!!. We feel comfortable leaving rider with her. The overall rating should be a 10”

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! 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 at UBCO nearing the end of my semester. This means that most of my time is spent studying with a very flexible schedule. I am free all day on the weekends from Friday-Sunday with control over my free time during the week. 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. 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: I’ve owned/trained dogs most of my life. I am now retired but do not currently have any pets of my own - so would love to have some canine companions to join me on my walks and outdoor adventures. I am an avid outdoors enthusiast and get out as often as possible year round. I regularily pet sit for friends and family and volunteer at the local humane society. I guarantee that your pup will get lots of exercise, love and cuddles and will return to you happy and well cared for. I look forward to meeting some new furry companions😃. I am retired with a flexible schedule. I do get out hiking, biking and cross-country skiing often so if you have a high energy dog I can definitely get them out for some exercise. Also enjoy just going on long walks. Although I don’t have a yard (live in a townhouse) I am just a few blocks away from the riverfront off leash park and have lots of time for multiple walks throughout the day. Since I am not working out of the home, I will be able to spend time with your pet and not have to leave them unattended for long periods.
About: Greetings! I am an animal lover and have lived with cats and dogs most of my life. Most recently, I was a cat mom for 15 years. I am available to help care for your pet(s) while you’re away, drop in or live in. After retiring a few years ago, I moved to the Cochrane area. I have extra time in my flexible schedule to help care for your pets when you are not able to. I am happy to come to your home in the Cochrane area to care for your pets for either drop in or overnight sessions. I will take excellent care of your pet like they were my own.

About: Ever since i was a kid i loved helping others. I started out babysitting and then it went to pet care! I have lived in Cochrane all my life. I dog walk for multiple families here in Cochrane and I even have a pup of my own. She’s a teacup yorkie weighing in at 4 lbs and she’s my favourite thing in the entire world. I promise to care for your animals as much as I do my own. I am a full time student at MRU for Education and I do work outside of school. My schedule has gaps and openings for quick drop ins or even daily walks. Weekends I work as well but only a few hours so it makes it easy to tend to your animals with the utmost care. I love going on walks with my pup at home. To switch things up we love to go to the dog park and hangout with other dogs so she can be active and able to make friends! My dog is very timid and scared around other dogs so i understand being protective and attentive.

“Dustin is a very dependable dog walker. My dog enjoys the walks with him very much, and I especially like the updates and pictures while I'm at work.”


About: What sets me apart is my patient, attentive approach and experience handling pets of all ages, from playful puppies needing training to senior pets requiring gentle, specialized care. Pet care naturally integrates into my daily life—I have a flexible schedule and dedicated time each day to provide attentive walks, playtime, and companionship for pets. I ensure a safe, comfortable environment by closely following each pet’s regular routine, providing constant supervision, maintaining cleanliness, and offering affection, exercise, and personalized care.

About: Hi! I’m Alisha - Your Dog’s New Bestie! I’m an experienced, reliable, and passionate dog lover who is excited to provide your furry friend with a fun, safe, and engaging walk every time. Whether your dog enjoys a leisurely stroll or needs a good workout, I’m here to meet their individual needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I make it a priority to ensure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for during our time together. With a gentle approach, a love for animals, and an eye for detail, I’ll make sure your dog is not only walked but has an enjoyable and stimulating experience. What I offer: - **Customized Walks**: I cater to your dog’s specific energy level, whether it's a calm sniff session, a few rounds of fetch or a more active outing, like a hike! - **Safety First**: I’m experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring your dog stays safe and secure. - **Regular Updates**: I’ll send you photos or updates during our walk so you can feel connected with your pet while you're away. - **Reliable and Punctual**: I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, so I make sure to show up on time, every time. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and loving dog walker who will treat your dog like family, I’d love to meet you and your pup! Let’s get started and make sure your dog gets the walks they deserve. I’m available 7 days a week, at any time that works for you! Whether you need a morning stroll, midday break, or evening walk, I’m here to accommodate your schedule and make sure your dog gets the exercise and care they deserve. Note - I do work as a stable hand part time so some days I won’t be available until 11:30AM If your dog has any specific preferences or routines, just let me know, and I’ll tailor the walk to suit them. While your dog is in my care, I’ll always keep a watchful eye on their safety and well-being. I carry water for hydration during walks, especially on warmer days, and I make sure to follow any instructions you provide regarding behavior, medical needs, or special care. If I’m walking your dog at your home (or providing any other services), I’ll respect your space and ensure your home is secure. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you know how your dog is doing!

About: I (mom/Deborah) have had pets since I was a child, and owned my own first cat when I was in my 20's. 30 years later, we've had 5 cats and 1 dog and lots of rescues that were re-homed. Petsitting/House Sitting (In Your Home): 6 years ago, as a family we started petsitting internationally - we have petsit in 12 countries and cared for more than 120 family pets. What's different about about us is we petsit in your home as a family (mom and 2 teen girls). The girls are homeschooled so we are at home virtually all day to care for your pets allowing them to keep their exact happy and stress-free routines while you are away. In-Home Visits/Dog Walking: When it comes to home visits and dog walks, we are flexible and available to meet your furbabies needs and schedules. We have lots of reviews on our international petsitting forum that we would be happy to share. I work from home, my girls are homeschooled so we are extremely flexible with our schedules. We are available 7 days a week, and offer dog walking from 6am to 11pm daily. Because we travel internationally, we offer overnight (24hr) petsitting in your home. Your pets get to remain comfortable in their own home environment and maintain their schedules they are used to. Pets who are able to stay in their own home are more stress-free and happy when they are in their familiar and trusted environments, we simply come in and replicate your schedule. Plus, they also get triple amounts of love and affection from the 3 of us! In home visits for dog walking and cat visits include a basic home check to ensure your home's security. We will walk your dog(s) for specified durations, play with your dogs and cats, scoop litter, refresh water bowls and feed according to instructions. Lots of love, attention, belly rubs and play. We work hard to gain your pets trust. We've had many tell us their pets are shy or anti-social and within hours/days the pets are sitting with us watching TV to the pets looking for us days after we've left. We promise your furbabies will be loved and spoiled with attention.

“Our pup, Phoenix, had an excellent walk with Hannah! Hannah was timely, sent lots of photos, and took great care of our girl. Thank you Hannah!”


“Thank you so much Amber! Our pup Phoenix had such a good walk with Amber the last two days! She also fed Phoenix for us because we wouldn't be home for dinner. We definitely recommend booking Amber for dog walking!”


About: Every dog has their own personality, likes/dislikes, and has been raised with specific expectations and rules. I respect all of these things and work with all owners to bring out the best in their dog. My dog Piper whom is 9 yrs old now has regularly flown in planes with me, is great with other dogs, and knows that size matters. Piper has been able to walk off leash since she was 6 months old, but by NO MEANS am I warranting or representing that I would do this with any dog in my care; however I do think this shows that I have skills with respect to communicating with dogs that works. If this interests you give me a call to discuss whether my services and/or home will work for you and your family member. I work for myself from home, am in full control of my very flexible schedule, and take many breaks during the day to play with Piper; as I would with anyone else's pet in my care. I have a fully fenced yard, quick access to the amazing river walk trails around Cochrane, a large grassy green park right behind the house perfect for fetch. With respect to barding I have enough room to separate small, medium, and large sized dogs as well as the ability to crate your dog if necessary and/or preferred.

About: As a family of six we ran a dog boarding care facility for over a decade. Fur babies have been our companions for most our lives. We enjoy outdoor exercise time with dogs. The company of a pet while relaxing at home is second to none. Life is only as good as the company you keep. We are a stay at home business owning family. With 6 of us and our friends and family coming or going throughout the day there is someone almost always home. Our boys are 22, 20 and 18 years and our daughter is now 9 years of age. We love cuddles and outdoor walks/jogs with dogs. Over night stays welcome or Pawsitive Pet Playcare! We are happy to accommodate your regular routine so your pet care is consistent while you are away. In Summer 2023, we welcomed a Yorkshire terror into our family. She’s been fun. Seen as dogs come with various personalities and traits we will enjoy getting to know your dog and socializing yours with ours. We can separate our dog from yours if necessary. If your dog is allowed to be on couch or bed we can accommodate that at our home.

“Christopher was great with our dog! Gave us a detailed account and (after checking with us) brought his pup along for some playtime. Much loved by out Peekaboo.”

About: I have had a dog living in my home literally since the day I was born, and now almost 42 years later, I could not imagine not being a dog mom! I went through breast cancer and all treatment associated with that and after I came out cancer free I decided I wanted to change my lifestyle and started dog walking! I love being out in nature surrounded by the beauty of Alberta, all while walking the most adorable and loving dogs! I have also added dog boarding to my profile, both in my own home and in some of my clients. I am ready and willing to help you and your fur babies however I can! I am a stay at home mom since battling (and winning) breast cancer in 2024. Rather than head back into an office job I decided to start dog walking and boarding and I could not be happier! I do not have a fenced yard as our house is still new but dogs are taken into the backyard on an extendable leash multiple times per day, along with morning, afternoon and evening walks!

7. Faith S.
“Faith has been house-sitting and pet-sitting for me for the last 3 years! She is my most trusted pet-sitter! She is a very responsible, intelligent, and hardworking person and takes amazing care of all our pets, including our Labrador, two cats, and 4 rabbits. She clearly has a love for animals and my dog gets ridiculously happy when she visits! She has always had her own pets, and even with my elderly cat needing medication, I trust Faith can handle it, and will take the very best care of my fur babies, and my home as well!”


8. Cindy G.
“My little 'dood loves going to stay with his favorite Aunt Cindy. Maybe it's the liver treats she sprinkles on his food, the games of fetch at the off-leash park (she was the one who finally succeeded in teaching him to "drop it"), or the many hiking adventures they go on together. I have the utmost confidence my little guy will be well-cared for (and exercised) when he's with Cindy. Knowing he's having a great time with her gives me peace of mind and makes it easier for me to enjoy my travels.”

“So great with my 2 cats and dog. Very kind and caring. They are always happy to see her come through the door. Probably takes better care of them than I do!”


10. Jaeden K.
“Jaeden was an awesome dog walker for our family! She came and let our Norweigen Elkhound out for an hour walk a day while my husband was away. She let us know when he wasn't feeling good which was great when Diem was sick and needed to go to the vet. I would recommend Jaeden to all families in Cochrane. She is trusting and provides the best care possible.”

12. Herbert M.
“Leanne and Herbert are amazing people and wonderful pet sitters. They are animal lovers and this is obvious not just to people but to animals too. When Leanne came to fetch my dog, Ember, she would head out happily, without so much as a backward glance, which she has not done with others as she is very attached to me. When I have walked with Leanne on the trails, other dogs head to her for petting. She loves dogs both tiny and large and they adore her too. I highly recommend Leanne and Herbert and know you will feel the same way when you and your pets meet them too.”


13. Alisha S.
“Alisha is super kind and sweet and has a huge spot in her heart for furry friends, my doggo loves her and I assure you your 4 legged friend will always be in good hands. 😊”


14. Deborah W.
“Recently, we had Deborah and her daughters come and look after our fur baby and house sit. Prior to the sit, Deborah made time to come and visit with us and introduce herself and her daughters. We were able to personally go over our list of expectations in person. This also gave our dog, Lilo an opportunity to meet this lovely family. During the sit, Deborah communicated regularly about how things were going at home. If she had questions, she would reach out. Her daughters made extra efforts to ensure Lilo was not lonely for us! After the sit, our home was clean and tidy. She took time to launder towels and bedding. Deborah even took time to make us a meal and leave it in the oven. We were touched by her thoughtfulness! We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone for future sits. PS: After the sit, for the first couple mornings, Lilo would run around looking for Deborah’s daughters as she missed them!”
