House Sitting Duffield

About: With 5 years of dog kennel experience and personal training for dogs, I am a highly skilled pet care provider. Trustworthy, reliable, and passionate about dogs, I stand out from the rest. My boyfriend and I just moved to Uculelet to get to experience this beautiful place! If you have multiple dogs, or your pet may need some extra help my boyfriend Chase’s is willing to help in anyway, and may be assisting me on walks. ❤️ As a flexible dog walker, I can work around your schedule. Although I work 9-5 five days a week, my days off vary, and I'm always willing to make last-minute arrangements to ensure your pet is taken care of. There are occasions where I can get off at 3 pm, it really depends on the day. Keeping dogs safe while on walks is a top priority for me. With my extensive experience walking multiple dogs at the kennel, I am skilled in ensuring their safety by utilizing proper leash techniques and monitoring their behavior around other animals and people. Your dog's safety is always my number one concern.

“Darlene is great at what she does. She has taken care of our home and pets twice now, and we love her. She updates us as needed. She takes care of the place and leaves no foot print. We are so lucky too have known her, and will continue to hire her services. Our dogs love her.”

“Was a pleasure meeting Pam and having her care for our dogs was the best decision. They were so comfortable with her right away. She took wonderful care of them and our home. My dogs have a new best friend. Not sure if they even minded we were gone. We will definitely choose Pam to care for our fur babies in the future without hesitation.”

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.

I have experience pet sitting for friends and family, private pet sitting through my business Soft Paws Pet Sitting, and experience volunteering with SAFE Team Rescue. Now insured. I’m especially comfortable with small dogs, senior dogs, and dogs who need patience, routine, or gentle handling. I take a quiet, attentive approach and follow your instructions closely. I’ve cared for dogs through volunteering and private pet sitting through Soft Paws Pet Sitting, and I’m building my Rover profile by providing reliable, thoughtful care to each family I work with.

About: I have been working as a Veterinary Technician for over a year. I love caring for all kinds of animals. I have my Veterinary Technician Diploma, First Aid, Broiler Technician Certification, and many more. I grew up on a ranch outside Cardston, rodeo, and love horses, so farm animals are always welcome. I’m hard working, efficient, and always willing and happy to fulfill any task. I currently work remotely with a schedule I set myself, so I have all the time for any critters. Being a vet tech, pet care is an every day thing. Even before my career, I’ve always had animals around me. I am a huge advocate for stimulation and sensory for animals, but also knowing when a break is needed. I love going on walks in any environment. I live out of town with lots of room to run and explore while being safe. Given my veterinary medicine experience and knowledge, I am prepared for any situation.

“Naomi was fantastic! My boys loved her and I could tell she loved them. Made it so that I didn’t worry at all with frequent updates and pictures!”

“Lyra was, without a doubt, the most skilled, patient and friendly dog sitter (and trainer!!!) we have EVER had. Our dogs adored her, and she went above and beyond to train our new rescue dog, working on his fears, barking and leash pulling. I didn’t worry once about either dog, we were updated frequently with pics and training progress, and we came home to HAPPY, brushed dogs and a spotlessly clean house. I can’t recommend Lyra enough!!! Amazing.”

Beth D.

“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.”

Linda V.

“My kitties were so happy so have Deliah keep them company. She left our house clean, kitties fed, litter box clean. Would absolutely recommend”

“This was Sara's first visit to my home to take care of my mini poodle Chiko. Sara was recommended to me by a trusted friend and I can see why! She is great. My dog Chiko is a senior (14), completely blind and semi-deaf. He is a gentle little guy but needs constant care and help finding his way around. Sara did a terrific job of keeping Chiko comfortable and he enjoyed a walk with her (his favourite activity!). I would recommend Sara to others, as she is friendly, kind, knowledgable and very professional. Through our conversations it become clear that she had significant experience and good judgement. Thank you Sara!”

About: *husband is currently free to help with pets as well if you happen to have an animal who is a little more comfortable with men* I grew up with animals since a young age, my family always had dogs and every summer I’d spend months out at my godmother’s farm helping take care of all kinds of animals including a barn full of cats. Professionally I was employed as a groomer/doggy daycare attendant so im well versed in handling animals of all sizes and temperaments! Currently between jobs just trying to make ends meet in a way that brings joy and allows others to know their babies are safe at home while they’re out living life. I’m recently unemployed so I’ve got nothing but time on my hands! I enjoy going for daily walks on my own so I would have no problem having a pet join me on my day. Following whatever guidelines they have set up for their pets! I will hang out with them and take good care of them no matter where we are!

About: With 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, the occasional hamster, bird, fish, turtle… I offer calm, attentive and highly personalized care to a small number of clients. I’m selective about fit and work best with friendly, well-mannered pets whose owners value reliability and communication. Walks are unrushed and tailored to your dog’s pace, energy and comfort. Pet sitting follows their established routine, with affection, enrichment and regular photo updates. I prefer building trusted, ongoing relationships with a few wonderful dogs rather than filling my calendar with as many bookings as possible. Pet care is a deliberately limited part of my weekly schedule. I accept only a small number of bookings so I can be punctual, present and unhurried with each dog. I’m available for scheduled walks and planned pet sitting, with advance bookings preferred. A meet-and-greet helps us confirm that your dog, their routine and my care style are a good fit. Your dog’s safety, comfort and normal routine come first. During walks and care in your home, I follow your instructions carefully, double-check doors, gates, collars and harnesses, and never allow dogs off leash in unsecured areas. I provide calm, individual attention rather than large group outings or pack walks. I respect your home, communicate clearly and send regular photos and updates. Before our first booking, I prefer a meet-and-greet and complete information about your dog’s health, behaviour, veterinarian and emergency contact.

“Zenna was amazing with my babies! They warmed up to her quickly and I was able to enjoy my vacation without having to worry about anything! Thanks again for your help!:)”

“Jasmine has excellent communication with a wholesome heart, kind personality, and comforting way about her right from the first meeting. Jasmine stepped up beyond my expectation and was able to show positivity, compassion and maturity while also thinking ahead and outside of the box which proved to me that my pets were in good and very capable hands. Looking forward to choosing her to care for our pets in the future! Highly recommend.”

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with an 8 year old Rottweiler named Pablo. As well as 2 cats, Ginny & Alfie! They’re the closest things to children I have, and I love them deeply. I understand the importance of finding someone who will care for your furry family members in the same way! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give your fur babies ample attention, love and the care they deserve. Love the outdoors, especially long walks! I’d love to provide your pets with the same care, love, patience and attention I give my own! :) I’m a relator with a vast knowledge of Edmonton and greater areas. This allows me to have an extremely flexible schedule that can serve me and you well! I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup as well as two cats that keep to their lonesome. A big yard and a calming environment. Can crate as per request!

“Rilyn stayed with our dog for two weeks while we away and we came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless house. Her communication was excellent and always prompt. Highly, highly recommend!!”

“We booked Matheu to look after our home and dog, April for 9 days during Christmas but we wanted to do a trial first to see if he was a good match. We tried this last Friday and I have to say that everything went well. He listened and follow all the routines, he was friendly and April seemed very happy when we were back home. He is definitely our person for next time.”

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.
