Cat Sitting Duffield

About: I have been working for Edmonton humane Society for 4 years. Prior to that I have fostered many cats, kittens and rabbits. I live on a small acreage and own 2 dogs, 3 cats, 3 Rabbits, 2 tortoises, chickens and ducks. I have also volunteered for several animal rescues. I am comfortable with all cats, dogs, kittens, puppies, rabbits, chickens, ducks and reptiles. I am comfortable with giving medications, injections and other medical treatments. I am mostly available on Thursdays but also some Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays as well as evenings. I am mainly looking for casual work. I will treat your animals with love and care. I have training in fear free animal interactions and am very experienced reading animal body language.

“Another fantastic experience with Shona!! Not only does she take such care with our cat she keeps me updated and watches out for other things around the house. With the storms this past week she was kind enough to ensure our outdoor plants survived! Shona goes above and beyond, I could not have asked for a better person to trust with our home and cat when we are away.”

About: I got my first pet when I was 2 years old and have loved animals ever since. We currently have 2 dogs, a tortoise, some goldfish and a new family of farm kitties. My ideal world would be playing with animals all day lol I work in a casual position in healthcare, usually no more than part time hours weekly so I have lots of time and flexibility to work with your schedules and take care of your fur babies. We have a big open basement and kennels for sleeping. Lots of running space outside in the yard. Yard is not currently fenced but have long leashes to allow lots of running room nonetheless. 2 outdoor dog houses and lots of shade as well.

About: Although I have only recently joined Rover, I have been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for both puppies and seniors! My youngest pup is 3 years old and my oldest is 11 years old. My senior dog has a variety of health issues, so I am familiar with administering medications to keep your pups happy and healthy. My senior dog is also a bit more anxious, so I am fairly knowledgeable on making a nervous dog a bit more comfortable. Although I did not grow up with cats, I have lots of experience cat sitting for friends and am very comfortable playing and hanging out with them. I am here to make sure your furry friends feel all the love when you’re away at work or when life gets busy! I recently graduated from the University of Alberta and am working part-time as I settle into the post-grad life, so I have tons of time to check in on your furry friends! I am currently accepting bookings up to 1 day in advance. My schedule is very flexible and I am available every day of the week all day except 1pm-8pm Mondays and Thursdays. As of right now, I am only able to check in on pets in my clients’ homes. Check ins include playing with the pet, giving food/water, administering medications as instructed, going on walks, and cleaning litter boxes as needed. I may also bring some surprise treats depending on your dogs diet :)

About: I have looked after dogs for friends and family for many years. As all dogs are different, I would prefer to schedule a complimentary in person meet to ensure your dog views me as a safe friend for future paid visits. Available most days and weekends (mornings, afternoons, and evenings) 2-3 days notice preferred to ensure I am available to meet your and your pet's needs Check in includes driving time, tasks may include changing water, feeding, medication administration, play time as time is available. I prefer to arrange a meet & greet and have written instructions so we have clear communication and expectations

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life, my family and friends all ask me to house sit and watch their dogs when they’re away. And I love doing it! Im currently taking some courses for a different job, so I am free almost all week to do pet sitting. My schedule is very open I care for pets by letting them out to pee every time they want, feeding according to their feeding schedule, and pet and play in between

“We arranged for Deliah to come look in on our pet again, after the first time went so well. We were so pleased with her promptness, professionalism and updates. She provides great communication and definitely gives us that peace of mind when leaving our dog for the day. Highly recommend Deliah. She is incredible and we will definitely be reaching out to her again for any future pet sitting needs!”

About: I’ve cared for pets through personal experience (I mayyyy or may not have 6 dogs😅) and by helping friends, family, and coworkers with their animals. I’m comfortable with daily routines including feeding, walks, playtime, litter boxes, and administering basic care. I pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour and needs, and I prioritize safety, patience, and consistency to help pets feel calm and secure while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m reliable with timing and committed to maintaining your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. Consistency and dependability for you and your fur babies are my number one priority. I provide a calm, safe, and respectful environment for every pet. I’m attentive to routines, careful in new situations, and always mindful of your pet’s comfort and well-being. I care for pets and homes as if they were my own.

About: Loving family of four. Mom (38), Dad (39), Daughter (11) and Son (3) who have a Yorkie (6) and Cat (11) looking to love your pet while your away. Although everyone would love your pet, the primary responsibility would be to daughter (11) who recently completed her Pet Sitting Course with the Edmonton Humane Society. She is looking forward to gaining experience. We can work with your schedule. Mom and Dad work Monday through Wednesday from about 8am-430pm. Mom works from Home Thursday and Friday and can be home on weekends. Can work with your overall needs. We have a fully fenced large yard and large home. We can either crate your animal or work with you on alternate options.

“Iris did a great job visiting our 3 cats, making sure their food/water/litter were full/clean and making them feel loved. We loved receiving photo updates of each one on our trip! One of our cats needed extra attention and Iris was able to make sure he was looked after. Would use her again! Thanks Iris!”

About: Having owned two wonderful dogs in my life and been a special friend & "aunt" of several other dogs and some cats. I am highly experienced and motivated to help you care for your beloved furry family members. I am warm, friendly and calm around animals and I find they are naturally drawn to me. I am trained in reiki and use gental reiki energy to balance and relax your pets in your absence. I do contract work and I am writing a book, so my time is flexible and I am available to spend quality time with your pets. As a sitter who would be in your home, caring for your pets, I would be able to follow your established schedule in order to cause the least distress and or disruption for your pets.

About: With over a decade of experience walking dogs starting at 12. Ive developed a deep passion, spending time with animals and ensuring they get the exercise, and socialization they need. I am currently off work so I will have lots of available time to walk your animals and/or care for them. I also dont work on the weekends and am done at 3pm during the week, when I am back at work. I can transfer them in crate if needed. If there is no fence at the home I will keep them on a leash. I have a fenced yard.

About: I have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. So you could say that pet care has come second nature to me. From feeding to medication I am your girl! Full disclosure, I do have two part time jobs and am hoping to work this into my free time! If you are looking for someone who is available 24/7 I may not be the best fit. Though I am willing to accommodate! I am very attentive, willing to cater to any needs you and your pet may have! I am open to staying over night as needed.

“Sara is a wonderful sitter for fur babies, provided tons of attention and cuddles to our fur babies. Everything was tip top. Highly recommend booking with her!”
