House Sitting Duffield

“Derlene is amazing. We had her for a home sitting. All of our dogs loved her. She sent us pictures of them while we were away. She was very friendly, personable and easy to communicate with while we were away. Our house was spotless with freshly washed sheets and made bed when we got home. We were so happy with her that we've booked her again. Thank you Derlene.”

About: I’ve spent years dog sitting and also have experience working with foster dogs, which has taught me how to adapt to different temperaments, needs, and routines. I’ve also cared for dogs with special needs, including vision loss and seizure conditions, so I’m comfortable staying calm, attentive, and responsive in more sensitive situations. I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs, they tend to trust me quickly, and I’m often told I have a bit of an “animal whisperer” touch. Whether it’s helping a nervous dog feel safe, keeping up with an energetic pup, or giving extra patience to senior dogs, I focus on making each dog feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to your pets. I’m able to provide attentive care, regular walks, and lots of love, making sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I care for pets in a calm, safe, and loving environment where their comfort and routine always come first. I make sure to follow each pet’s individual needs closely, giving them gentle attention, consistency, and patience so they feel secure and at ease while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own “special creature,” focusing on building trust and making sure they feel protected, not just supervised.

“Josée was great! Wonderful communication and updates and pictures on our dogs. One of our dogs is very old, deaf and blind, and Josée took extra care with her.”

“We have used Deliah in the past and she has always been super easy to communicate with and is super attentive to our pups! She leaves the house spotless and our pups love her!”

“We went with Lyra again for an extended weekend trip and honestly we couldn’t be happier. She communicates consistently and loves our dogs. Our home is always left in tip top condition and our girls are tired. She especially takes a lot of time and has so much patience for our dog with medical issues and leash reactivity. I will forever sing her praises from the rooftops. We adore you Lyra!!”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. All of my own pets were adopted. Rescue animals hold a special place in my heart and helped build the foundation of my experience working with animals that have a wide range of temperaments, backgrounds, and needs. I’m often the person friends and family rely on when they need a trustworthy pet sitter, and I currently provide multiple dog walks daily for repeat clients. These households include small, medium, and large breeds, some with multiple dogs in the home. I focus on caring for one pet household at a time, which allows me to give each pet consistent attention and maintain their normal routine. I regularly care for dogs with very different personalities and energy levels—from playful puppies to calm seniors. I also have experience supporting dogs recovering from injuries, caring for pets that require medication, and working with anxious or reactive dogs. Animals tend to respond well to my calm, patient energy. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior, which helps me respond appropriately if a dog is unsure, stressed, or needs reassurance. My goal is always to maintain each pet’s normal routine and provide calm, consistent care so they feel safe and comfortable. I communicate clearly with owners, send regular updates and photos, and treat every pet and home with respect. Reliability is extremely important to me. Before the first booking, I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs so their day, walks, and care stay as normal and predictable as possible. Please request a meet-and-greet before new bookings to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. While dogs are my primary focus, I’m also happy to care for cats and make sure they receive the same attentive and reliable care. I’m available seven days a week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, making it easy to fit care around your schedule. My flexibility allows me to respond to your pet’s needs whenever they arise. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I communicate clearly with owners and treat every pet and home as if it were my own. I always share updates and photos so owners can see their pets are doing well and happy. I focus on caring for one pet household at a time, which allows me to give each pet consistent attention while maintaining their normal routine so they are comfortable. I take the time to understand each pet’s temperament, preferences, special needs, triggers and routine so they feel safe. During walks and visits, I stay attentive to their behavior and the environment, making sure they’re stress-free. In clients’ homes, I follow instructions carefully, respect routines, and maintain a calm atmosphere. If boarding a small or medium dog in my apartment, I am patient and maintain a calm environment with focus on supervision, routine, and structured walks. Please request a meet and greet prior to booking, to ensure you and your pets are comfortable and it’s a good fit for everyone.

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

“Can’t say enough on how great it was to have Danielle step up and take care of our Maddie on short notice. We will definitely look to book Danielle again She took great care of 8 yr old “pup” and treated her so good and followed the post op instructions we provided thanks again Danielle!”

“Sara was kind enough to do a meet and greet with us before babysitting which was awesome. I loved seeing how my animals took to her right away. She kept our home tidy and our animals safe. Would recommend!”

“We came home after a week holiday to three happy puppies. We received photos almost daily and our one puppy who has some quirks warmed right up to Brooke. We can not complain. Not only were Our puppies happy but our house well taken care of. We would recommend Brooke to take care of your puppies and home anytime.”

About: Hello! My name is Alex and I would love to look after your pup! I have two dogs and a cat. Roscoe is 10, Coach is 3 and Jojo my cat is 3. All of them are friendly and we ensure that all animals are safe. I work from home full time so I am able to always be around to monitor your pup! Roscoe is very easy going with a great temperament that gets along with all different breeds of dogs. Coach is a typical lab--loves to run and is high energy. He loves to play with other pups so hopefully your dog is okay with that! We live in a house with a fenced backyard! Plenty of room for your pup to run around :) I have had a dog in my life since I was 15 years old, and I am very versed with all different breeds and temperaments. I believe in providing a warm, loving household that makes a dog feel at ease! I promise to treat your dog with the same love and respect as I treat my own :) I currently work from home, so I am home all of the time. I usually take the dogs out to the backyard multiple times a day, especially if it's gorgeous out, to throw the ball with them or bask in the sun. Jojo, my cat, has a catio, so she's often watching everyone outside, too! I live with my partner and our two dogs and cat. My partner also loves pets so he also is here to administer pets and food! We just love all animals so we will treat your dog the way we treat our own!

“We booked Jasmine to house sit our pup Lenny while we were on holidays for a week. Jasmine was very professional during the booking process, very kind during our initial meet and greet and provided regular updates with pictures throughout our time away. I felt confident that Lenny was in good hands while we were away, which was reassuring. She left the house in great condition as well! Would recommend Jasmine and will use her for future bookings!”

“Jon was stellar! He took Sebastian to off-leash parks responsibly, took great care of my house, and was extremely communicative. I trust him in my space and with my boy and would absolutely request his time again in the future.”

About: I’m a loving and attentive dog sitter who has always had a natural connection with animals. I enjoy being outdoors and going on walks, whether it’s with my own dog or the dogs I care for. I also have experience caring for dogs with specific health needs, including administering medication and paying close attention to routines and small details that make a big difference in their comfort and well-being. This has made me very observant and responsive to each dog’s unique needs. I’m confident following any instructions you provide and can help reinforce routines or basic training, such as recall using treats and positive reinforcement. I make sure every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and well looked after, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to offer reliable and consistent care. I plan my days around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they receive the attention they need. I always follow each pet owner’s preferences, whether I’m doing drop-in visits or caring for a dog in my home. I understand how important it is to keep things consistent, so I stick closely to their routine and instructions. If a dog is boarding with me and I need to step out, I’m comfortable leaving them out or using a kennel (whatever they’re used to and what works best for them). I make sure pets feel as comfortable as possible, especially at night. They’re welcome to sleep near me or in my bed if that’s what they’re used to, but I always follow the owner’s preferences (if they have their own bed or routine, I stick to that so everything feels familiar). I also have a fully fenced yard, which is great for safe outdoor time and bathroom breaks. I always supervise and make sure dogs are secure and comfortable in the space. Overall, I focus on creating a calm, safe environment and adjusting to each pet’s needs so they feel at home and well cared for.

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.

“Zenna did a great job housesitting our 2 large dogs for a week! Her communication was great throughout the initial booking, meet and greet, and our trip. Our dogs eat raw and can be a bit of a handful, but she took the time to ask all about their routines, temperaments, and quirks during the meet and greet. She sent update pictures throughout our trip, and when we got home our dogs seemed happy and well taken care of. Our house is clean (even with a shedding Husky). I'd definitely feel comfortable have Zenna watch our pups again!”

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to independent or senior cats, I adjust my approach to match each pet’s needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, litter care, and basic medications. I focus on keeping pets calm, safe, and on their usual routine, so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and always keep you updated. I work remotely, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets consistent attention, stick to their routines, and be available for walks, feedings, or check-ins throughout the day. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet. I follow your pet’s routine closely, keep spaces clean, and make sure they feel secure and stress-free. I’m attentive, reliable, and always prioritize your pet’s well-being. I’ll also keep you updated so you have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’m a reliable and compassionate pet caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for my own animals, along with professional experience working in an animal hospital. This has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety, as well as the ability to stay calm and attentive in any situation. I treat every pet as if they were my own—making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away I’m currently working part time serving so my schedule is pretty flexible just waiting to go to school in the fall. I’m always able to work around schedules and what works best for the owner. I’m very attentive when it comes to all types of animals. We have a fenced in yard but live on acreage so my pets have a lot of area to run and play but also no chance of them getting lost because they also are trained. I make sure there are no dangerous areas around my home from sharp corners to things on the ground. My dogs constantly have water but are on a strict eating schedule. My cats are fed at all times and also have water at all times. My dogs and cats usually have a goo rotation when it comes to toys I get them ones that won’t harm them if they rip them apart, but if they do I will buy them a new one. I’d say there pretty spoiled animals but when you love them doesn’t seem like work at all.
