“This is my second time using Melissa and as long as she is available I will always pick her. She was extremely accommodating with a last minute change and goes above and beyond for my cat every single time. Thanks again Melissa!”
“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!”
“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: 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.
“Marwa is an exceptional pet sitter. My cat is very anxious and shy around new people, but he warmed up to Marwa very quickly. She was compassionate and caring. She took the time to play with him. We would definitely have her look after our cat again.”
“Our Cat George absolutely fell in love with Katia when he first met her and even ran over to greet her when she came by to pick up the keys. She was very friendly and warm and we would totally recommend her and hire her again!”
“Sydney was fantastic to work with, and took such good care of our bun! She was fast to reply, always gave great updates, and made me feel so relaxed that our fur baby was being looked after and treated well - he took to her so quickly! I will definitely be booking with Sydney again ?”
“Belle was great at check-ins with our dogs - she came with treats, had outside time with them, and was able to handle their personalities well!! Our dogs were well cared for by her!”
About: An animal lover through and through, I grew up around animals from a very young age; owning my own dogs as well as spending every summer of my youth at my godmothers’ farm rounding up cows, turkeys, chickens and yes, farm dogs and cats too. Professionally I’ve been employed as a groomer and a doggy daycare attendant so im well versed in handling dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. With me as your second in care, I can promise your domesticated babies will be well loved and taken care of! After putting my safety before the needs of a corporation that employed me for four years, I’ve found myself with plenty of free time on my hands. If you need someone to keep your pets company, you should reach out! I’ve always made a point to get out and move my body everyday which helps me be prepared to take your pups along for the journey! Overnight house sitting will always come with lots of attention and outdoor time on my part. Dog needs a more relaxing time? Absolutely not a problem. I harbour a natural balance between active and lazy, having no issue with chillin and watching some tv. You can count on me to pay attention and take action if any type of emergency were to arise. Integrity is as important to me as your pets’ safety is to you!
“Madeline was absolutely amazing, my girlfriend was a little hesitant to use rover with leaving our babies lives with a stranger. But wow, this experience was incredible! We are both so happy we went with Madeleine, the detailed notes and pictures gave us such relief knowing they were with her. So so SO grateful :) A plus all around! She was very communicative and helpful with attention to detail, and did everything right (we gave her SO much info to start 😅). Our kitties definitely have a new friend 💗”
About: My love for dogs know no bounds and I have always experienced their love since I was young. I am really good at making friends with even difficult dogs and I know very well how to take care of them. I can play with them, give them love, take them out for walks and do everything needed for their comfort. I currently have plenty of time as I am a freelance Interpreter/Translator and writer. I am able to adjust my schedule to take care of adorable pets. I am responsible, kind, gentle and playful with my pet and since I love all animals, I will be sure to treat your pet with all the love they deserve. In case of doing house sitting, I will be available on my phone for whichever inquiry you might have and I will take notes on your pets favourite toys and ways of playing. Also if there’s any special requirements like administering medication I will be sure to send proof it’s done.
About: I have a diploma in Animal Sciences, worked at the Humane Society and have had dogs/pets all my life. Currently have 2 senior cats who love other animals and love to play. I am a fun, loving person and I have a lot of free time and I am also available on weekends. If your dog is currently going through some training I would be happy to work on that while I have him/her. There is a yard and grassy areas around my apartment and would have tons of space to play outside. I also live near dog parks. I like bigger breeds such as huskies and German Shepard’s so size of your dog is not an issue.
About: I have a very active and energetic Border Collie–Aussie mix, Fred, who has been part of my life for almost five years, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with all kinds of energy levels and personalities. I love taking dogs for walks, but I also think playtime is just as important! If your dog is into games, toys, tricks, or a good game of fetch, I’m very happy to join in — it’s something I do with Fred all the time. I’ve also grown up with cats and have lived with them for many years, so I’m very comfortable caring for our feline friends too. Over the years, I’ve cared for many friends’ dogs and cats and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality and routine. I’d love the chance to take care of your pets and give them lots of attention, exercise, and fun while you’re away! I’m an academic by day and have a fairly flexible schedule. When I’m not on campus teaching, I’m usually researching and working from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m also very active and love being outdoors, so I’m more than happy to turn some of that time into a walk with your dog! And for cats, I’m happy to pop over for a visit, give them some attention and playtime, and make sure they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your animals with the same care and attention I give my own Border Collie–Aussie, Fred. I’m admittedly a bit of a helicopter mom when it comes to safety, so I’m very mindful of keeping pets happy, comfortable, and out of trouble! I also love to play and interact with animals in whatever way they enjoy most — whether that’s a game of fetch, some toys and tricks, or simply giving a cat space to do their own thing. Most importantly, I pay attention to their individual personalities and needs and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I love dogs so much that I earned my diploma in Canine Behavior! Every step of the way, I use my science-based background to help ensure your dog has a positive experience. I’m a very patient person and work especially well with shy or timid dogs that need a gentle presence and a little extra time to learn to trust someone new. I love a morning and midday time slot as it allows me to work part time with my other commitments! I may have weeks with more or less availability so message me and we can figure out a schedule that works for both of us! Because of my background in Canine Behavior, I use positive reinforcement techniques when caring for pets in both my home and clients’ homes. I take a proactive approach to behavior by paying attention to what may be causing stress, excitement, or unwanted behaviors so I can help set pets up for success. I tailor my care to each individual animal. Whether that means offering snuggles and reassurance, using treats and rewards, or encouraging polite behaviors in gentle, consistent ways. For example, if a dog jumps up, I wait until they’re calmly seated before greeting them so I can reinforce calm behavior in the future.
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life, ranging from small little Pomeranians to large Great Danes. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs! I have experience with giving medication, grooming, training, and lots and lots of running. It fits into my routine with the free time I have, especially on weekends, holidays, and during summer time when I’m out of school. My most free days are Tuesdays, Thursdays and weekends. However if planned ahead of time I can fit in evenings on the other days of the week. I believe that pets are family, they’re an extension of themselves. My pets mean the world to me so I try to treat others as I treat my own. This means I put a lot of time into playing with them, giving affection, gaining trust and overall interaction without encouraging any bad behaviours. I really don’t believe in “bad” pets, usually it’s a sign of something wrong or stress. A little patience goes a long way.
“Abigail was very friendly and professional. She communicated quickly and completed the cards with detialed information. I appreciate the care she took. I would highly recommend Abigail for your pet's needs.”

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!
