“Shona has watched our cat a few times. She always goes above and beyond making sure he is taken care of. Our kids were so sad when we had to leave him behind during the holidays and she made sure he had lots of treats from them while we were gone. We will book shona every single time!”
About: I have looked after dogs for friends and family for many years.

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 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 am currently a full-time university student with a wacky schedule. I am unable to put exact times I’m available for walks/drop-ins but I’d love to chat to work something out! 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: I've cared for and had a relationship with dogs since I was 3 years old. I have had 4 dogs of varying breeds and sizes and have dog sat for several friends and family. I live on an acre of lakefront property 45 min from Edmonton with lots of space for dogs to run, play and swim. Give your dog a lake vaction where they'll be treated like a member of the family while you're away! I am semi-retired and home 24/7 to care and spend time with your pet. I am active and outside most of the time happy to play fetch and let your pet explore nature in a quiet rural setting. I have a treed, unfenced yard in a very quiet area with little road traffic and lots of room for your pet to run and swim in the lake if desired. Your dog will become a member of the family while staying with me. I live alone in a home where dogs are allowed on the furniture, but I can also easily accomodate a crate if your pet prefers.
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!
