House Sitting Duffield

“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.”

“This is the second time Josèe has watched our dogs, and we are so grateful for her. She gives exceptional care to both of our dogs, one being higher needs, and after being away for a week, it was wonderful coming home to seeing happy, healthy dogs. She sent us updates, photos, walked the dogs as per our request, and really provided us with a peace of mind we were looking for.”

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.

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.

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

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.

“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.”

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

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!

“Jasmine was great with my two dogs!!! She attended to Clovers emotional needs, while managing Rudys behavioral needs as a young dog. She provided me pictures and updates which made me feel more secure in leaving the two of them at home while I had a work trip.”

About: Animals have been at the centre of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and cats, and I’ve shared my home with beloved cats for most of my adult life. Over the years I’ve also co-habited with small and medium dogs, cared for senior pets, and supported many animals through the last gentle stages of their lives. My professional background is in environmental science (35 years), a path I chose out of love and devotion to animals, wildlife, and the natural world. Outside of work, I spent years volunteering with animals — from supporting elephants and reptiles at the Valley Zoo to caring for over 70 elephants at an orphanage in Sri Lanka. I even trained one elephant, Devi, to paint using positive reinforcement. I’ve also cared for small exotic pets, including ball pythons and a garter snake. Today, I bring all of that experience into calm, compassionate, reliable pet care for dogs, cats, and small animals. I’m gentle, observant, patient, and very attuned to the emotional needs of animals — especially seniors or those who are shy, anxious, or needing extra support. Skills & Care Abilities: Administering medications with confidence: pills, injections, liquid meds via syringe, and puffers for dogs and cats Handling senior or special-needs pets with patience and gentleness Cat nail trims Dog bathing and brushing; cat brushing (hairless cat bathing and grooming) Experience with freshwater and saltwater aquariums Comfortable with reptiles and other small animals Master Gardener/Composter certified (City of Edmonton) — happy to care for plants, yards, and gardens as well Calm, confident, experienced around all animal personalities Clear communication and daily updates I’m recently retired, which allows me to offer steady, unhurried, fully present care for the animals I look after. When I’m not volunteering in Asia or Costa Rica, I work quietly from home doing computer-based volunteer work — which means your pet will have company, consistency, and a peaceful environment throughout the day. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to take dogs out for frequent walks, playtime, and pee breaks, tailored to their age and energy level. I’m equally happy to spend long, calm stretches with small dogs or cats curled up on my lap. I genuinely enjoy the simple companionship of animals, whether that means gentle snuggles, quiet presence, or attentive support for senior pets needing extra patience. My home routine is calm, predictable, and nurturing — ideal for pets who thrive with kindness, attentiveness, and a steady rhythm. Because I specialise in caring for cats and small dogs in their own familiar environment, my focus is always on creating a safe, calm, and reassuring experience for your pet while you’re away. In Your Home (House Sitting & In-Home Care) Your pet’s comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely — feeding times, walks, medications, bedtime rituals, favourite toys, and comfort preferences. I maintain a quiet, predictable environment, and I am attentive to small changes in behaviour, appetite, or energy level. I double-check doors, gates, and windows to prevent escapes I ensure safe handling during comings and goings I keep a tidy, hazard-free space I send regular updates with photos so you always feel connected I provide lots of gentle companionship, cuddles, lap time, and enrichment Cats and small dogs often bond quickly with me due to my calm presence and decades of experience. Drop-In Visits For drop-ins, I offer flexible, attentive care — feeding, litter cleaning, short walks, medication administration, brushing, playtime, or simply quiet company if your pet prefers. I take care to observe how your pet is feeling each visit and adjust my approach accordingly. Overall Approach With lifelong experience with animals — including senior pets, pets needing medication, and shy or anxious animals — I bring patience, reliability, and a gentle, steady energy. My background in environmental science and animal care has taught me to be observant, respectful, and attentive to detail. Your home and your pet are treated with the utmost care, respect, and kindness.

“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: 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.

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.
