“She came everyday as requested. Our cat seemed happy in the photos that were sent and everything was fine when we got home. Glad to have found someone to keep the little guy company!”

About: Welcome, everyone! Thank you for visiting my profile! My availability calendar can be found under the "Services" tab! 🐶 **NOTICE** Update - Jan25, 2026 I have gladly begun to accept booking requests on a limited basis! I am accepting requests from April 3, 2926 on! However, I do strongly advise having a back-up sitter lined up as well, as a few things are still a little up in the air, and just in case something prevents me from providing the care that your beloved pet deserves! A few things have changed, so please also have a look through my profile to see the updated information. As always, please feel free to message me with any questions! Hope to see you soon, and thank you ever so much for your patience and understanding during this difficult time! 💜🐾 ☆ Before sending a Booking Request, please ensure tgat you are choosing the correct service for your needs! (as follows): BOARDING - You will drop your pet(s) off at my home, where they will stay and be cared for until you pick them up. HOUSE SITTING - I will come to your home to stay with your pets and care for them until you return (This service is paused during times I have other animals in care) DOGGY DAYCARE - You will be dropping your pet(s) off and picking them up from my home the same day. DROP-IN VISITS - I will come to your home to give your pet(s) the care they require during the day (limited by location - please ask if your area is within a manageable service zone) ☆ All new Pups and Pawrents - Booking requests should be made with enough time before your dates for you and your pup(s) to meet with me in person on an available day. (typically 1 to 1.5 hour, this is a prerequisite to a first stay. See my Calendar for availability.) However, there are some circumstances where this may not be possible, please let me know, as we could have other options! It is always a good idea to have a second choice in mind, just in case we won't be a good fit. ☆ ALL DayCare and Boarding prts MUST be up to date with Vaccinations and Deworming! You must be able to provide proof that your dog or cat is current! Daycare - please be aware that daycare services are limited, as this is not my "main" business. I typically will take daytime clients on a stay-to-stay basis as needed, as opposed to an ongoing commitment. Because I only take one family's pets at a time, daycare stays mean that longer overnight stays that may be needed by others are not able to be booked. I apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for understanding! Please reach out yo see if my daycare services are right for you and your pup(s)! 🐾 Now that all the "formal"stuff is out of the way...let me introduce myself! 💜🐾 I've been caring for pets since I was 8, when I got my first dog, a Sheltie named Bailey, who was with me for 10 years 🐾 I have 2 years experience and hands-on training as an AHT/Surgical Assistant in a vet hospital, followed by 6 years experience caring for large numbers of animals at a rescue, and in foster care with two different resue organizations. I have always had pets in my home, and heart, ranging from birds, "pocket pets",ferrets and, of course,dogs and cats. I am Pet First Aid certified through Walks 'n' Wags. I am able to take pups up to 30 lbs, dogs above this weight are chosen on a discretionary basis; by age, energy level, care requirements, temperament and behavior, and must be met through a meet & greet prior to booking. These pups MUUST be calm around other animals for everyone's safety! I have just ecently opened up occasional boarding care for cats, providing there are no fosters or other clients in the home. This allows your cat yo have as much comfortable, quiet space as they prefer, and access to feline-friendly spaces such as windows, furniture, and outdoor catio (coming soon!!). If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out! 💕🐾 I am no longer working, so that means I am most often at home. I do have periods of time in which I have frequent appointments, and may be out for several hours, however I do my best to accomodate the pups and bookings around these days. This gives me plenty of time to spend with your pets in and around my home, making it ideal if you have a puppy, senior or special needs pup who requires frequent potty breaks, medications, or extra attention! ☆☆ ABOUT DOG WALKING SERVICES☆☆ As this is a trial run for Walking Services for the month of June, and dependent on weather conditions and other service bookings, I have paired it with an amazing fundraising oppourtunity!! ⭐️ If you have, or know someone who has a pup under 30lb (or a pair totalling 30-40lb) who would love an extra walk, and you are located NW, Downtown, University, or any place close to (10min walking distance) an LRT stop OR within a 1hr travel time distance from my home via transit, I would love to offer a 20% discount off all walk services, with a donation to my June Dog Walk Challenge for the Canadian Cancer Society! Details and link provided upon request! ♡ 🐾 Active! walk - $20/30min ☆ $32/60min 🐾 Let Them Sniff! walk - $18/30min ☆ $28/60min 🐾 Leisurely Stroll! walk (for senior or special needs pups) $15/30min • Second Dog +$12 • Some pups may be eligible for a "Mini Field Trip! - Please ask for details, if your pup is a good traveller and you think this is something they would enjoy! All dogs must be well-behaved on leash, must wear a harness and flat/martingale collar together, and walked on a flat leash, retractables and negative-impact devices will be refused, all of these are for the safety of your pups, as well as myself! Thank you! Your pet will have free range of the main living area of my home, as well as a moderate, secure, fully fenced backyard for outdoor play time and potty breaks. Coming spring/summer 2026, cats will have acces to a large, secure catio for outside time (weather permitting duting the day). They will have plenty of attention as I am home most of the time. It is an asset if they are comfortable in a kennel (large size for comfort) for just a few hours at a time while I am out, but other arrangements can certainly be made to accommodate your pet's individual needs, such as a bedroom setup instead. Typically, most puos do best here when set up in a large, enclosed pen with all their conforts. They will NEVER be unattended while outdoors. I do my best to keep their routines consistent, and their environment enricing. I also make my own vegan dog treats for those with allergies and sensitive stomach! Home-made cat treats are made low-carb, and with real, whole ingredients.
About: I have had pets in my home since I was a child and pets gravitate towards me. I would love to take your dog for a walk and fetch in the park, or take care of them overnight. My dog & I frequently enjoy hours together in the river valley and he would love a companion. If you’re not comfortable with that (though he is a sweetheart), I can walk your pup solo! I’ll always be sure to have water on hand, and if permitted, treats! You can rest assured that your dog (or cat or ferret) will be safe and happy in my care. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know and I will be happy to give you anymore relevant information! I work evenings and weekend brunches at a restaurant, so I can walk your dog any day of the week! Usually available same day for last minute needs I live in a gated community downtown so your pet would be safe in my home. I also drive a Ford escape so there’s plenty of space for multiple dogs in my vehicle for transportation to walks.
About: Having owned two wonderful dogs in my life and been a special friend & "aunt" of several other dogs and some cats. I am highly experienced and motivated to help you care for your beloved furry family members. I am warm, friendly and calm around animals and I find they are naturally drawn to me. I am trained in reiki and use gental reiki energy to balance and relax your pets in your absence. I do contract work and I am writing a book, so my time is flexible and I am available to spend quality time with your pets. As a sitter who would be in your home, caring for your pets, I would be able to follow your established schedule in order to cause the least distress and or disruption for your pets.
About: I own a pitbull chocolate lab mix, hes a rescue and is my joy in life. I've taught him manners and made him many friends, he and I are always in the market for new dog friends! I own a dog so walks daily lots of snuggles and bring him to see his friends almost daily. And the park as often as possible. I live in a house with my dog, we hangout outside, go for walks, the park, and we play outback in the yard, and wrestling, sometimes ice cream treats on hot days!

About: One of my previous jobs was at the Edmonton Humane Society, where I worked with all breeds and sizes of dogs. I am Fear Free certified, which means your dogs will always be treated with kindness and care. Throughout my 10+ years of experience, I never encountered a dog I couldn't handle or get through to. I truly believe that there are no bad dogs. I am currently a student part time at NAIT and am looking for some income and movement in-between my online classes. I am available around 6 hours a day for walking, and am very flexible with my schedule and time. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly golden retriever who's good with cats and dogs. I also have 4 cats that are all cat and dog friendly as well. It's a bit of a zoo but everyone is happy and healthy. I always say the animals eat better than we do.
“Cosmo has loved every time Sarah Beth has come over for a visit. You can tell she loves animals as she always has much to say about their time together. Cosmo always has a good time when Sarah Beth takes care of him! I know I can depend on Sarah Beth to take good care of him and come home to a happy puppy 😊”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Zoe. She did drop-in visits for our four cats over two weeks and truly went above and beyond in every way. Her communication was excellent—she provided detailed notes after each visit along with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Zoe also took amazing care of our home. She even shoveled when it snowed and brought in packages that arrived while we were gone, which was incredibly thoughtful. When we returned, the house smelled fresh and clean—not like litter at all—which says so much about the level of care she put in. We would absolutely recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter.”

“Hannah was very responsive and attentive during the sitting service. Hannah followed a lot of instructions well. Grooming my two medium-hairs daily was very important and I appreciated Hannah's willingness to take the time to do it. Hannah will spend the time needed to properly care for your animals and I would happily hire this sitter again.”

About: I have volunteered at the Edmonton humane society for 5 years with cats and small animals. I have experience walking small and medium dogs for friends as well as owning a sheltie for 10 years. I am home full time and availability is quite open. My kids may be with me and shower love and attention on your fur babies. I have a fenced backyard and many doors in the house to section off an area for supervision. I am willing to travel or transport pets with my own large vehicle. I am home full time with my 3 kids so your pet will get lots of attention from our full house. We love to be outdoors with your pet! We have a fenced backyard and live in a quiet neighbourhood. We have little traffic going by our house. It’s a great area for a stress free walk for your dog!
About: For me, a wagging tail isn’t just a greeting—it’s a language I’ve been speaking since I rescued my first pet when I was 10. Since then, my life has been defined by the wagging tails and soft purrs of the animals I’ve helped heal and protect. I don’t just see pet sitting as a job; I see it as a commitment to making sure your best friend feels safe, seen, and deeply loved while you're away. Growing up with rescues taught me how to speak their silent language—whether it’s giving a shy dog the space they need to trust me or recognizing the specific needs of a senior pet who just wants a gentle stroll. Because I’m based right in the heart of the city, your pup and I will enjoy soulful walks through the Mill Creek Ravine, peaceful mornings in Windsor, or lively adventures along Whyte Ave and the River Valley. Whether your dog needs a high-energy hike or a patient companion for a slow walk, I promise to treat them with the same devotion I’ve given to every rescue animal that has crossed my path for the last 16 years. I am available to take care of your pet at all times during the weekends and in the evenings of the workdays. I am pretty flexible to navigate the time and date that works for you, your pet, and me! My 16 years of rescue experience have made me a "safety-first" sitter who treats your home like a sanctuary. Whether navigating the River Valley or your living room, I am an expert at "door-dash" prevention and always enter/exit with extreme caution. For walkers, I am Edmonton weather-savvy, prioritizing paw protection from salt and extreme cold to keep your pups safe. For sitters, I perform daily "safety sweeps" for hazards like toxic plants or loose strings. From building trust with shy cats through "slow blinks" to ensuring dogs are securely harnessed, I provide a professional, low-stress environment. You can expect total transparency with detailed Rover Cards and photos after every visit, with local emergency vet info always on hand for absolute peace of mind.
About: I’ve got aims to become a dog trainer. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for several pets, mainly dogs and rabbits. Being familiar with prey species, I’ve got a soft spot for the timid and fearful dog in your life. I’m working to become a dog trainer, and I’d be more than happy to support your training goals when I’m with your pet. I’m available until 11am and after 4pm weekdays. Weekends are generally open, especially with advanced notice. As I work to become a trainer, making time for you and your pet is a priority for me. Your pet is unique and you know them best, so I’ll aim to learn what your needs and expectations are well in advance of providing care. With your pet, I am attentive to any needs they communicate and respond accordingly.

“Sonia and her husband did a wonderful job taking care of my little cat Rudy this weekend. Rudy is shy around strangers but I received photos showing she was interacting with them both! I came home to a happy cat. I am relieved to have Sonia booked for two weeks this summer, I will be comfortable leaving Rudy while I am away! I highly recommend booking Sonia!”

About: I'm a cat foster with a local animal rescue, and have lived with pets almost all my life. I have experience with clicker and target training with both dogs and cats! My first clicker trainee was my cat, Oscar. With the rescue, I gained experience with diabetes treatment. I'm always happy to learn more about animal care. I have a fairly flexible schedule, which lends me the freedom to spend more time with your pet. As I currently have a foster cat, I am currently unable to offer boarding, and need to be at my home at least twice a day to administer medications. I have extensive experience with pet needs such as feeding, crating, nail trimming, bathing, and minor medical attention such as giving medications and diabetes management. I regularly research animal behavior and training methods to help me be a more effective support. I'm flexible about visit times, locations, dog size, and pricing. I have some physical limitations and only use transit. Feel free to send me a message and we can discuss things further. I'm happy to discuss alternatives that would be suitable everyone.
About: Me and my family raised and breed American Akita’s and other farm and exotic animals back home in Alberta. I also grow up with all kinds of breeds of dogs from small one’s to big breed dogs. I’m personally an active person. So I’ll be taking an proactive approach in your dog and make sure it gets as much activity with me as possible. If your dog likes being lazy, I can hangout with him/her and watch Netflix and give them lots of attention. But most importantly, I’ll give as much love and care as you would for your dog. My schedule is mostly free in the morning and afternoon’s during the weekdays. If you require a certain day, please give notice. Thanks, see you and your dog soon. I’m currently in the process of joining the armed forces and work part-time. Meaning lots of playtime and adventures to play with puppies and dogs. I have a house with a yard and a gate to keep the dogs inside. I’m very attentive with dogs with any special needs and wants.

Kayla was great and very responsive! Lupita was very happy when we returned from our trip. Kayla had helpful suggestions while she was there and always made us feel at ease during her visits. Would totally recommend her to take care of your pet. And we would absolutely rely on her the next time.

Jonathan did great with my cats. They are not very friendly with strangers but he took all the hissing and swats aimed at him in stride. By the end of the booking they seemed to have warmed up a bit and when I came home they were relaxed and calm. Jonathan also injured his knee right before the booking but still did not cancel, even though my apartment is on the fourth floor with no elevator. I really appreciated that 🙂. He was extremely flexible with dropping off/ picking up keys and the initial meet and greet. The rover cards were detailed and I loved all the numerous creative pictures I received of the cats. I would definitely book with him again!

Qi took care of our rabbit and cat for over 2 weeks. He did a great job following instructions and our pets became good friends with him. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets and your home, but Qi made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. This was our first time using a pet sitter, and it won't be the last time that we use Qi!

Julia is lovely. We booked her services while we were away for a couple days and she took incredible care of Winnie. Julia is responsible, organized, and compassionate. Her experience with reactive dogs is an asset. We would happily ask her to dog sit again in the future!
