House Sitting in Dalmeny

About: Ever since I was little I have always loved taking care of animals big and small. I’ve always had pets growing up and am happy to take care of a wide range of animals! For a few years now I have watched over acreages for friends and also house sat dogs when they needed it. I have taken care of old pets who require medication and also young puppy’s who may need a little more help and consistency. I went through multiple obedience classes with my own dogs and have done lots of agility training and weight pull training with my own dog Razor! For some dogs new people can be scary and I know that well too. Peaches my other pup can be very timid of new people so I am happy to help even if you are worried about your dog being shy. All of June I have an in person class so most days I will have to be on campus from 8:30am-3pm but from July to august I will have no classes and can spend as much time with your fur baby as needed:) At my home I have a large fenced yard and two friendly dogs as well as a dog savvy cat who will be happy to keep your pet company! I do have two crates, one smaller and one larger in case to crate if needed. In your home I am happy to follow whatever schedule your pet is adapted to!

“This is the second time Afton has house sat for us while on vacation and has watched our 2 dogs and 2 cats. She always does an excellent job and highly recommend her for your animal sitting needs!”

“Charlotte was reassuring, sent us photos of the dogs daily, and left the house spotless. Our dogs are safe and happy after 5 days away from us and that's all we wanted from this experience. We're grateful that Charlotte was able to help us out!”

About: When I was 10 I was given the responsibility of taking care of my family dogs. This includes feeding, playing, walking, bathing, and training. As I reached the age of 16 I was able to house sit dogs by myself and take them to appointments (vet or grooming). I have experience with puppies over 1 years old and senior dogs over 10. My daily routine is very flexible, including care during the day (early morning, late nights, or anywhere in between). I’m available during the weekends and weekdays I’m able to follow all pet sitting and house care instructions. If anything occurs that is out of the ordinary, I usually contact clients to make sure pet care and safety is the number one priority.

About: Your Pup’s Home Away From Home! 🐾 ​We are a family of three who recently lost our beloved Shih Tzu. We miss the pitter-patter of paws in our home and would love to welcome your dog into our family for a stay! We treat every guest like one of our own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and fully pampered. ​What We Offer: ​Active Lifestyle: We love long walks and have a fully fenced yard perfect for zoomies and sunbathing. ​Crate-Friendly Home: We are experienced with kennel training and prefer dogs who are comfortable in their "den." ​Cozy Environment: Whether it's playtime in the yard or cuddles on the couch, your dog will be part of our daily rhythm. ​Our Schedule: ​We are home most of the time, though from Tuesday to Thursday, we work during the day. For this reason, we are a great fit for dogs who can relax comfortably in their kennel for a few hours at a time. ​We can’t wait to meet your pup and provide them with a fun, secure, and loving environment while you’re away! We are home most of the time, though from Tuesday to Thursday, we work during the day. For this reason, we are a great fit for dogs who can relax comfortably in their kennel for a few hours at a time. ​Our Care Philosophy: Family First 🐾 ​Coming from a home that loved a Shih Tzu for many years, we know that every dog has a unique personality and specific needs. We don't just "watch" your dog; we welcome them into our daily lives as a temporary family member. ​Safety & Security ​Fully Fenced Yard: Your pup can enjoy the fresh air safely. We always supervise yard time to ensure everyone is playing nice and staying secure. ​Kennel Comfort: We are big believers in the "den" environment. If your dog is kennel trained, we maintain that routine to reduce anxiety and give them a safe space to rest while we are out or during bedtime. ​Leashed Adventures: Our morning and evening walks are always on-leash, exploring the neighborhood at a pace that suits your dog’s energy level. ​Personalized Attention ​Companionship: Since someone is usually home throughout the day, your dog won't be lonely. Whether we’re working nearby or relaxing in the living room, they’ll have human company. ​Consistency is Key: We stick to your feeding and medication schedule exactly as you do at home to keep their tummy and health on track. ​Fresh Water & Treats: We keep the bowls full of fresh water and (with your permission!) provide healthy treats for being "good boys and girls." ​Communication with You ​We know how hard it is to be away from your fur baby. We make sure to send: ​Daily Photo Updates: Action shots from our long walks or cute photos of them lounging in the yard. ​Quick Check-ins: A quick text to let you know they’ve eaten and are settling in well. ​Peace of Mind: You can enjoy your trip knowing we are treating your pup exactly how we’d want our own to be treated.

“Des was absolutely wonderful to communicate with & to leave our dogs & house in the hands of. She was very knowledgeable in everything dogs & pets. Our two dogs are special as they do not get along & need to be separated at all times & she was more than willing to learn their routine & what they needed. We are so thankful for her as we had a last minute trip & she eagerly helped. We will definitely use her again! Thank you again Desiree!”

“Anthony was fantastic! He’s a very respectful young man and my 15 year old cat seemed to really take to him! She looked so happy in the photos which he sent daily and I was completely at ease knowing she was well taken care of! Thank you Anthony!!!”

Judy M.

“Jade was absolutely amazing with my high needs dog! She was able to give him his insulin needles twice a day and do his eye drops as well. She sent picture and message updates and did so many extras while staying at my house. Rio loves her and can’t wait for her to come back. I am so grateful to have such a trustworthy and reliable person to look after my boy when I have to travel.”

“We feel very lucky to have found Jrosaleen. We love the attention she gives to Skye and Frankie and Skye have a blast playing together. She is so genuine with such a big heart. Exactly who we want to care for our pet when away.”

Whatever your requests may be in terms of your pets safety and care I will be sure to follow them to a point!

About: I love all dogs, and by the second visit, all dogs love me. I am good at dealing with any dog and I find it very rewarding to help them with any behavioural issues that you may be concerned about. Ensuring that your hard work and training isn’t neglected in your absence. The most common ones I work with is food aggression/resource guarding, and separation anxiety. I will be home almost the entire time with a few minor exceptions like lunches with friends and errands. Your dog will receive lots of attention while in my care.

“Mae did an amazing job caring for our two dogs and two cats. She managed to win over our very timid senior cat, who shys away from eating and taking her meds. Mae had her eating and taking her meds without an issue. We appreciated Mae's regular communication with comments, pics and videos of our pets while they were in her care. It was clear our pets were happy and well looked after. It gave us peace of mind while we were away. I would highly recommend Mae to anyone in need of pet care!”

About: Hello! :) After a few month hiatus of taking a break from doing what I love most!!, I am back and ready to take on dog sitting, walking, house visits, for whatever your needs are for your beloved fur babies. I had to make the hard decision to say goodbye to my fur baby. The one I loved the most, the one that made my bad days' worth going through, the one I called my forever best friend. She got sick with an autoimmune disease, and her quality of life would have never been the same. For the sake of my own selfishness to keep her alive for me, I couldn't bear to watch her quality of life diminish. I know it was the right decision in the end, but I know she's happier and running, jumping and playing. I miss her every day! Please cherish the days you have with your babies, as we are never promised forever. I am ready to get back to love on your babies as much as I love mine! Our beloved dog is not only our baby, but all dogs in our care we consider fur babies and will provide a loving and nurturing experience, but we are also a strong and confident family and as a pack leader to our own dog, we will be a pack leader for others as well. We cherish all dogs and believe they all need to be loved. Ensuring your beloved family members are welcomed with open arms and with the utmost care, is our highest priority. We can’t wait to be the family who gets to look after your babies, whether it’s for an hour or two days or more!! They, and you, become part of our family! We send daily updates, a report card and treats that are approved by you at the end of their visit and we send along photos so you can be rest assured that your baby(ies), are loved so very much! We live in Warman and have access to a huge dog park, a spacious home and much needed toys, extra dog bed, extra dishes and so much love!! I do work full time during the day, Monday to Friday, and during the week I am available anytime after 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM to meet and greet. I am available on weekends as well from 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM for a meet and greet. **Please note, that I do require an application to be completed upon confirmation of booking. This gives me some detailed insight on you and your pet{s} :)** Please don't hesitate to message me and I will be more than willing to accommodate your needs. I can't wait to hear from you! I fit my pet care into my busy schedule by being upfront about my full time schedule that I hold with my job. I fit this into my weekly routine by ensuring when I come home after work that my attention first and foremost is my dog and the dogs I have in my care. I care for pets in my home by providing them with a safe and nurturing environment. I am a pack leader for my own dog, and I will be the pack leader for yours in my home and yours as well. Having a strong and confident pack leader in you, results in a confident, happy and well disciplined dog/animal. I give lots of hugs and kisses, snuggles and a warm and cozy environment for them to feel safe.

“Olena recently stayed in our house and cared for our pets while we were away. She was great about sending us updates and left our home spotless. We will definitely be booking with her again and recommending her to friends and family.”

About: I grew up with animals on the farm, rode horses for years, volunteered for the Saskatoon Animal Shelter, and have always had a home with cats and friends with dogs I gave my love to. I work full time and am gone many weekends to visit my partner, which is why it’s not feasible for me to have my own pets right now, but it gives me great opportunity to love pets that aren’t my own right now! I will follow your instructions carefully and care for your pets as my own! I love all animals and want to make their time away from their human as comfortable and happy as possible.

“Rylee was AMAZING! She watched our pup over Christmas while we were out of the country and we were super happy with everything during the week! We got pictures daily and she kept us updated if there was anything we needed to know. She also brought in packages and mail we got over the week which was really great! Our pup can be needy and anxious but she handled everything so well that we were never worried about him!”

“I have to start by saying I am very anxious about leaving Molly with anybody. However, we figured that somebody staying with Molly might be best for her. Sierra & her fiance Travis stayed with Molly in our home for 4 nights. They spoiled her, snuggled & played with her, took her for multiple walks, and sent lots of updates. When I came home, the house was as spotless as I left it. We found the perfect Rovers for us and I’m so grateful. Thank you, Sierra and Travis!”

About: I am the proud momma of a senior dog so I’m well versed in administering medications and taking slow leisurely walks or throwing a chuck it on repeat for the not so senior dogs! I’m available to care for your fur babies in your home part time. I believe a schedule is important for animals especially when their owners are away from them I believe a consistent routine, plenty of outside time, exercise and indoor stimulation are very important for pets. Of course belly rubs and treats have a place too!
