About: I’m available most days for dog walks and drop-in visits, including weekends and last-minute requests. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and always make sure to follow each pet’s normal routine. I’ll send photo/video updates during every visit, and I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, playtime, walks, and basic daily care. I have several years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including my own pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walking, playtime, and basic daily care. I’m patient, responsible, and I always pay attention to each pet’s routine and behavior. I’ll also send photo or video updates so you know how your pet is doing. My schedule is flexible and I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walking throughout the week. I’m especially convenient for clients around Downtown Edmonton and the University of Alberta area. I can usually work around your pet’s normal feeding or walking schedule, and I’m happy to discuss timing in advance. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and try to keep each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. During visits, I make sure doors are secured, food and water are refreshed, litter boxes are cleaned when needed, and dogs are safely leashed before going outside. I also provide photo or video updates after each visit.
“Melissa was the absolute best sitter! She was kind, caring and went above and beyond with her drop-in visits. She made being away from my little (big) girl as comfortable as possible and I will definitely be using her again if ever needed in the future. Thanks again Melissa!”
“Sherry always does a fabulous job. On the most recent trip, one of my flights was cancelled and I was delayed by a day. Without hesitation, Sherry agreed to come an extra day, which was a huge relief! I'm so grateful!”
“Sarah-Beth was fantastic with my kitties! One of them is aggressive and a little jerk in general, but she made it work! She sent me photos along with really nice (and hilarious) updates daily.”
“It was a pleasure to have Sam house/cat-sit for my little Hazel-nut. Sam was very responsive, thoughtful, friendly, kind, responsible, reliable and did a wonderful job. She sent fun updates and photos of Hazel which was very much appreciated. She was also patient with Hazel when she bapped and knocked over her tablet because she wanted attention and to be fed waaaayyyy too early. Sam was very considerate and washed her bedding and towels, which wasn’t expected but a very thoughtful thing to do. I would definitely recommend Sam and I would also book her again. Thank you Sam! -Hazel & Harmony 😻”
“I would gladly engage Jenna-Lee again. She was prompt, sent lots of good photos and updates, and she was always available by text. She is lovely and caring. Our kitties took to her right away.”
“Rufana took wonderful care of our cat Sophie. I was updated daily with photos, videos and comments which showed how quickly Sophie became comfortable and how content and happy she was. Rufana provided excellent care and excellent communication. We would recommend her and will definitely rebook in the future.”
About: Hello, Pet Parents! 👋 I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals—from farm cats in my childhood to training our family puppy for agility competitions in my teens. Animals aren’t just a hobby for me; they are my passion. While in university, I dedicated my time to volunteering at the SPCA, helping rehabilitate and comfort large, fearful dogs. Today, my home is filled with love from our two cats—including my 17-year-old senior orange tabby, Naranjito—and our family dog. Why Choose Me? Through years of personal pet ownership and professional pet sitting (including dogs, cats, and birds), I have developed a comfort level with specialized medical care: Senior Care: Understanding the gentle pace and extra patience older pets need. Injectable Medications & Testing: Experienced with diabetic care, including blood tests and insulin injections. Special Needs & Emergency Calm: Capable of managing complex conditions like canine epilepsy and severe allergies, ensuring your pet is comforted and safe during vulnerable moments. To us, our pets are a wonderful, beloved part of our world. But to them? We are their entire world. That simple realization shapes everything I do as a pet sitter. Every interaction, every walk, and every cuddle session comes down to one fundamental question: How is this animal experiencing the world, and how can I make that experience better? Animals experience life through a completely different lens—and often, a completely different nose! When your dog goes for a walk, it isn't just about physical exercise; it’s their morning newspaper, their social feed, and their grand adventure. When I’m with your pets, I act as their bridge to a bigger, more exciting world: For the dogs: It’s giving them the time and patience to sniff out every trail, explore new scents, and satisfy their curiosity. (My own pup always inspects my pant legs to get the full report on which fur-friends I’ve visited!) For the cats: It’s tuning into their subtle signals, and letting them explore at their own pace—whether that's investigating a new toy or scent-checking where I've been. I don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" pet sitting. Every animal has a distinct personality, and unique comfort zones. My goal is to meet them right where they are and provide genuine mental and physical enrichment while you're away. I treat every pet as the center of my universe while they're in my care—because I know you are the center of theirs. I work as a part-time letter carrier, but I have mornings (until 12), almost all evenings, and most weekends available to care for your pet(s). I have been called "too trusting" in my past... but this has luckily never injured me in a serious way. In fact, the worst thing is realizing that my standard of trustworthiness is NOT universal... but that has made me more skeptical of others when it really matters. Caring for your pet is something that requires a lot of trust of me, and I appreciate your skepticism. I wouldn't leave my fur-babies with just anyone, too. Training dogs when I was younger made me much more aware of body language and different personalities. I am always watching for potential stressors or safety issues. I love giving dogs the freedom of an off-leash area, but would have to trust that they will listen to me before being comfortable with any safety risks involved with that.
“Hannah is the best, and takes great care of my guy Chips! Hannah is the only reason I feel comfortable when I have to leave my best friend! Hannah takes care of him like I do! Thank you so much!!”
“I am beyond thrilled with the care Ella provides for my dog! Every time we arrive, my dog can hardly contain her excitement as her tail wags, she howls in excitement, and how eagerly she runs to greet Ella. It's such a comforting feeling knowing that she loves spending time with Ella, which speaks volumes about the level of care provided. Ella is great with dogs, and it shows in every interaction. She’s patient, attentive, and truly understands my dog's needs and quirks. She has extensive experience taking care of dogs, including her own pup, Ron! My dog has so much fun playing with Ron. Whether it's playtime in the yard, walks, or chilling on the couch, my dog always comes home happy, content, and to a good sleep. One of the things I appreciate most are the regular updates Ella sends. The photos and videos of my dog having fun and enjoying herself give me so much peace of mind while I'm away. It's clear that she's not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for and loved. Ella is also reliable and professional. She’s always punctual and is flexible with scheduling, which makes everything so much easier. If you're searching for someone who will treat your dog like their own and provide the highest level of care, I wholeheartedly recommend Ella!”
“Saghar stayed over watching my little Remi cat for two nights. Everything went wonderfully. She sent us lots of updates with photos. Remi was very happy to have her company while I was away :)”
“Heather did a fantastic job checking in on our senior kitty while we were out of town. She was very understanding and accommodating to her needs and sent very detailed updates during her check-ins. We are grateful to have found someone like her to look out for our girl! 10/10, will absolutely hire Heather again!”
“Jessica was an excellent sitter! She took such great care of my cat and made sure my home was well looked after while I was away. I came back to a happy kitty and a spotless house. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Denis always provides attentive, reliable care along with informative notes, good questions, and cute pictures of our pets! We really appreciate the consistent communication while we are away.”
“Ava is our to-go pet sitter for our cat Tito! She is just such a sweet and attentive human! She sends tons of photos while pet sitting and in all of them it seems like our cat truly feels comfortable and trusts her, it's even funny to see how he doesn't seem to miss us and is just enjoying his time with her. She is also very polite and professional in all the interactions. I truly recommend her to everyone.”
“This is my second time booking with Mel. She always takes such good care of my cats. I get thorough updates and plenty of pictures. It’s such a relief to know that my cats are in great hands and I don’t have to worry about my them while I’m away.”
“Lillian was a great cat sitter. I was so nervous leaving my cat with a stranger for the first time as she is on multiple medications and can sometimes be difficult, but Lillian did a great job with her. She sent me a bunch of photos which was super appreciated. I would rebook her again bo question and recommend her to others.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Edmonton
Alina was absolutely wonderful sitting for Neko and Zany while we were away for the week! She's so friendly and professional, and it was clear from day one that our kitties adored her. She played with them, gave them all the cuddles and pets, and you could just tell how much they loved her from all the photos she sent. One of my favorite things about working with Alina is that she treats your cats like they're her own. That kind of genuine care really shows. She also sent so many photos and videos throughout the week, which means the world when you're away and missing your pets. And she kept the water fountains filled, the litter boxes clean, and the food topped up but most importantly, she made sure our kitties were happy the whole time. We'll definitely be booking Alina again next time we're away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares about your pets! 🐾💕
We’ve had Miranda and Aaron as cat sitters a few times now, and they are always great—thoughtful and reliable, with cute updates and pics. They pay attention to the small details and personal preferences of our cats, and go above and beyond to take good care of them. We’ll definitely contact them again the next time we need a cat sitter. Thanks Miranda and Aaron!
Vanessa is great at what she does and I would highly recommend. She cared for my cats for 3 days while I was out of the city and everything went extremely smooth, taking a huge weight off my shoulders. My one cat, Ginny, is an extremely shy girl and NEVER normally greets strangers - well Vanessa had her out for pets and playing with her toy after ONE day. I was shocked to say the least. 10/10 service :)
Heather is amazing! I’ve never left my cat alone before or had someone look after him other than family. Being new to the city and not knowing anyone meant I couldn’t really leave him alone. He is usually so shy around strangers, but he absolutely adored Heather!! She sent me updates and pictures the entire time. I’m so grateful as my request was a little last minute but she was so flexible. She followed my instructions perfectly. I’m so happy that I found her, I feel so much relief knowing there’s someone here I can trust to care for my cat the same way I do!
