“I felt so happy to have someone trustworthy to check in on and walk my anxious rescue pitbull/lab cross. I felt safe leaving her for the afternoon and evening knowing she was in good hands!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my 18 years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages. I'm comfortable with everything from playful puppies to senior pets who may need a little extra care and patience. I’m experienced in administering medications—both oral and topical—and I always prioritize your pet’s comfort and well-being. Whether it's keeping up with high energy or providing gentle support to older pets, I bring reliability, compassion, and a deep understanding of animal behavior to every visit. I currently work full time during regular business hours, from home. My schedule is flexible to accommodate walks, potty breaks, meal time, medication needs etc. I will always be available to your pet. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that keeps their routine as consistent as possible. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs—whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, or structured walks. In our home, they have a clean, pet-safe space to relax, with plenty of affection, supervised play, and downtime. I maintain a peaceful environment with minimal stress, and I only take in pets who are a good fit for the setting to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. We have a fully fenced yard and puppy proof home.
“Charlotte has been doing daily visits throughout the summer with our two kitties! We are beyond thrilled to have met her, we are finally able to enjoy a couple of nights at the cabin knowing Billy and Daisy are in the best hands! Charlotte is professional, punctual and very kind. Her love for animals is clear and apparent!”
About: I was born and raised on a farm so im no stranger to hard work and animal care! I myself am also a pet parent to 7 cats and 2 dogs and have raised cats and dogs from bottle babies to seniors. Im also a volunteer with the Saskatoon Dog Rescue and am taking a dog training course. I also have experience with dog reactivity and administaring meditations. I very much understand the importance of finding someone trustworthy to look after your pets while you're away so schedules and instructions will be followed to a T and i will send as many updates and pictures youd like while your away! Leaving your fur family at home for work and vacations can be hard and finding someone to trust while your away can be harder so please ask as many questions as youd like before booking with me!! I'm am available for walks and checks in between 10am and 6pm everyday. Other times are a possibility but will need to be discussed directly. I do not do boarding or overnight stays at my house but would be more then happy to pet sit at your place. When I care for a dog in their home I follow all clients instructions as well as lots of love and play, while also respecting boundaries and watching body language. While on walks I love to just see dogs be dogs, while also being respectful of the leash as well as evniroment. For safety I carry a can of pet corrector and a slip lead. If you're working on any training let me know and ill be sure to follow exactly what you're doing to reinforce your current training.
“I can’t recommend Cameron enough as a dog sitter! She recently looked after my dog, Hap, and did an absolutely amazing job. From the start, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals. Cameron was attentive, reliable, and made sure Hap was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She kept me updated throughout with messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease. I came home to a very content pup and could tell he had been in great hands. Thank you, Cameron, for your outstanding care—I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had pets, and I helped with their daily care, including feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and making sure they felt loved and comfortable. I currently have two cats that I've raised from kittens, which has given me firsthand experience with everything from kitten care and socialization to maintaining a healthy routine and recognizing their individual needs. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, happy, and relaxed while their owners are away. Whether it's an energetic dog that loves long walks or a shy cat that prefers quiet companionship, I'm committed to providing patient, reliable, and loving care. I know how important pets are to their families, and I'll treat yours with the same attention and kindness that I give my own. I work full-time with a consistent schedule, typically 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets. I also have every weekend off, making me available for longer visits and flexible scheduling. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make sure every pet receives the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I'll take the time to follow your instructions carefully, whether that's feeding schedules, medications, exercise, or extra cuddles. I'm respectful of your home, reliable, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I'll treat your furry family member with the same love and care that I give my own pets.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
