“Kendra took such great care of our dog Honeybee, and home while we were away. She kept in contact often and sent frequent photo updates. Honeybee clearly adored her and they had a blast together. We didn't have to worry about anything -- it was nice to go away without any stress. We also we came home to a house cleaner than when we had left! Will definitely be reaching out to Kendra again soon!”


“Dubhe was perfect. Our dogs loved her. She sent daily updates with super cute pictures. Took the dogs on walks and played with them. Left our house in perfect condition. Dubhe is an absolute gem.”


“If I could give Catherine 10 stars, I would. Having Catherine watch our dogs for our wedding was an absolute delight! She was respectful of our home and our care guide for the dogs, and would periodically share pictures and videos of the dogs during her stay to let us know that they were happy and having fun. We would recommend Catherine to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter. Thanks again!”

About: I have taken care of a large assortment of pets. I started dog grooming when I was 16 and did that for 20 years. I also worked at a pet store as a small animal manager. Duties included feeding, cleaning cages, engaging with a wide range of small animals, cats and birds. The department was run efficiently and I trained a small team of employees to aid in all duties. In addition to this, I also managed a grooming salon. I am able to administer medications, including injections. Pets are my sole purpose in life. I don’t have kids and I’m currently living in a no-pet home. I miss having dogs and cats. I currently snuck in a hamster named Eleanor and a fish tank with an angel fish named Jude. I have a lot of love to give amd your pet will be in competent hands. My daily/weekly routine is spent loving and caring for animals. It’s not just a job, I live for it. It’s my life. I cannot have pets in my own home but I do offer pet sitting in your own home. Your pet will be comfortable in their own home as I maintain any rituals or schedules as determined by the pet’s owner. I also offer dog walking and drop in visits. I’m very thorough and will offer a great experience for your pet.

“Emily looked after our shy rescue Goldendoodle for a week, while we went on holidays. She did an amazing job!!! Emily truly loves dogs! She is currently taking a professional dog walking course! She was in contact with us the entire time! She sent us photos and videos throughout the day! She even slept over at our house, our rescue dog felt secure!!! Emily took our dog to the dog park for walks! I am happy that we found her! I will for sure book with her again in the future!”


“Nathaniel watched my dogs at my home for a week while I was gone on vacation. He was the best house/ dog sitter I've had. Very responsive and took care of my house and 2 large dogs while I was gone. He went above and beyond...”

“Denis did an excellent job of looking after Theo while I was gone for the day. He was punctual, professional and pleasant. I was a little worried that Theo would have trouble settling after I left as he does have some separation anxiety, but Denis helped him feel safe and they had a great day together. I will definitely be booking again :D”


“Alyssa is awesome! She stayed at our home and doggy sat our dog Murphy. He was extremely well taken care of and seemed to look for her after we returned. Alyssa took amazing care of our home. She is lovely and professional and comes with my very high recommendation. We look forward to rebooking her! Thanks Alyssa!”


About: Love dogs & cats! I provide one on one care to your pet/pets. Available to walk & can board small dogs in my home. I live in the city center. I am currently retired & have broad availability, early mornings, afternoon, & evening! I enjoy the outdoors in all seasons & keeping fit. Excellent references. I live 5 mins walk from the river valley in city centre Edmonton where there are miles of trails that I love to explore. I live a very active lifestyle & having a dog as company is a bonus!

“Lillia was great with our doggo Winston. Our son was home in the evenings while we were away so Lillia was asked to come into our home and take care of Winston during the day. Walks, companionship. Her communication with our son to coordinate worked really well. Right from when I sent in the request for booking she was responsive always. I loved getting the pictures. Will be booking with her again.”


“Clearly experienced and relaxed around animals. We couldn’t fit in an introduction before the house sit but Kaela was unfazed and sent us photos of happy relaxed animals soon after arriving. Highly recommended.”


“Stephen took excellent care of our pets and our home. He stayed at our home for just over 3 weeks while we were out of the country and we had complete piece of mind with him taking care of our 3 cats and our dog. Stephen was very responsive and clear with communication. He also ensured that he visited a couple of times before house sitting so that our anxious dog would be more comfortable with him. I completely recommend Stephen for your pet needs!”


“Vin was so good to with my dog, who can be pretty anxious most of the time. I chose boarding at my apartment because my dog would feel more comfortable and I felt very relaxed being away with her frequent updates via text, photo and videos. She even made my my dog and hers a Christmas dinner (after making sure my dog had no allergies first of course). I highly recommend vin for any stays and I will definitely be booking with her again in the near future!”


“Coleen Was a wonderful house and pet sitter. Our dogs were very comfortable with her and did great. She kept us informed with pictures and answered questions we had right away. We highly recommend Coleen and would book her again😁”


About: I have grown up around animals my entire life. My grandfather is a CKC member, and breeder of retriever puppies. With him, I would help train to be hunting dogs, competition dogs, and even aid in search and rescue. He is decorated with medals for his training skills, because of this, as well as having owned or lived with different dogs my entire life I am very comfortable around a variety of ages, breeds and personality types. I know they all have different needs that I'm keen to pick up on! I also have tons of experience with all kinds of different cats. I am certainly a cat whisperer of sorts. Kitties love me almost as much as I love them! I am flexible and open to different things and can also take care of different caged pets like birds, reptiles, amphibians, rodents, rabbits, fish etc. if you happen to have one of those. I have a sensational green thumb and lots of experience watering and taking care of plants, so no need to worry about withering greens while you are away if you want me to look after them! ☺️ I currently work part time, Monday-Thursday. I am available for overnight care as well as care during the day at your house or mine. Luckily, my schedule is rather flexible and I may be able to accommodate you if there are any concerns or wishes regarding my availability. Just ask me! I will consider longer term stays, or even same days bookings if you need somebody to check in and let them out for a bathroom, play time break, or a walk while you're at work, on holiday, or can't get home in time. I live in a spacious bungalow with my two friendly, playful young cats next to the Ravine and various parks. I am able to look after pets in my home, where I have room to keep pets in their own separate space if required. The large yard is not technically fully fenced, as the neighbour has torn down a portion of the fence during construction, but I can keep dogs on a leash when going to the bathroom or spending time in the yard with me.

About: I’ve always been around pets (despite being allergic, cats especially have always been drawn to me) so I have plenty of experience interacting with and looking after animals of varying temperaments, ages, activity levels, personalities, and needs. I grew up with a bichon shih-tzu named Dewey and I currently have a very sweet black cat named Styx that I adopted in January 2023! I’m currently a full-time student pursuing a career in psychiatric nursing! I have about a year and a half left in my program so over the summer when I am not taking classes, my schedule is much more flexible; from September till the end of May I am available mainly on weekends and evenings but it really depends on my schedule! I will always try my best to accommodate and help out as much as I can :) I am definitely someone that understands that trust is built over time! I will always give your pets the same love and care as I would my own - I know how hard it can be for both pets and owners when you have to spend time away from them.

An Absolutely Outstanding Pet Sitting Experience with Jean and Paloma! From the moment Jean and Paloma stepped into our home, it was clear my pets, Artoo and Sunny, felt totally at ease with them. They bonded with them right off the bat, a true testament to their exceptionally kind and caring nature. As I followed their updates during my trip, it was heartwarming to see how much my furry babes trusted and enjoyed their company. Beyond their incredible rapport with my animals, Jean and Paloma kept me updated with delightful photos and videos, showing Artoo enjoying his favorite field and Sunny getting lots of love. They diligently administered medication for Sunny and made sure both pets received "lots and lots of pets and attention!" What truly impressed me was their attention to detail and thoughtfulness for both my pets and my home. Not only did they ensure my pets were happy and well-cared for, but they also went the extra mile by washing dishes and even vacuuming the floor, leaving my home in a pristine state. Their clear communication, especially when reporting a minor incident with Artoo having chewed on a book, further solidified my trust in them. Jean and Paloma are truly wonderful and amazing pet sitters. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and my home were in such capable, caring hands. I will absolutely be turning to them again for future pet sitting needs and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable, loving, and thorough care for their beloved animals!

Jordan was an excellent house/pet sitter. Booking was really easy and communication was great. We got daily updates, and she was a very respectful house guest. When we got home, it was even cleaner than we left it! We have a particularly anxious cat, who opened up with Jordan and definitely built some trust with her, which was really excellent to see. I hesitate with anybody staying in my home, but upon meeting Jordan before the stay, all my hesitations were gone and I fully felt comfortable with Jordan watching our home and cats for a week! Would 100% recommend booking Jordan, and we will be booking again :)

Coleen Was a wonderful house and pet sitter. Our dogs were very comfortable with her and did great. She kept us informed with pictures and answered questions we had right away. We highly recommend Coleen and would book her again😁

We will continuously book with Denis and Aline whenever needed - we have no words to describe just have incredible they are!!

Emma did a great job making sure all three of my pets were well taken care of while I was away. Keeping me updated with pictures daily.

Lacey has been house sitting and taking care of Stanley several times now and always does an excellent job. Stanley loves her and enjoys his cuddles.

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!

Thank you again for another great pet sit! Rai and Otis were well taken care of , happy and safe. I came home to happy fur babies and tidy house. Thank you for the great pictures, videos and text messages.

Alecia was such a wonderful dog sitter! She sent us daily updates, put up with our very picky and stubborn dog, and was the perfect house guest. We will absolutely ask Alecia to watch our dog again.

Angela was awesome with all my pets. Sent regular updates and even helped a new cat get used to everyone else. Will be recommending her sitting to my friends and book again for sure!

Carly was an exceptional dog sitter while we were away for a weekend. She replied quickly, sent an abundance of cute pup photos and asked some great follow-up questions about care! Our pups really enjoyed their time with Carly! We would happily have her back again! :)

Mira is amazing. She took great care of our boys and house. Even continued the training we’ve been doing on walking skills!

Natalie watched my cat for a few nights over the holiday, she followed care instructions, left the house tidy, sent update texts upon arrival and leaving, and sent many photos of my cat! My cat has separation anxiety and I am so glad they were able to spend some time together. I will definitely use her again in the future.
