Cat Sitting High River

“Andre took very good care of our cat, Walter. Walter was content when we arrived home. Andre gave us daily updates and even water my outdoor flowers!! We will definitely use Andre again.”

“We cannot say enough good things about Ana! We were in a pickle finding someone to watch and feed our cat Zantar. He needs his insulin twice a day so it's a huge ask. Ana had no problem doing the insulin needles and being able to come twice a day. Ana was so friendly, and I immediately felt comfortable when we did a meet & greet. She sent us update messages throughout the week and was easy to contact. We will definitely use her again in the future :) :) Thank you again Ana!”

About: Having senior pets takes an incredible amount of compassion and patience. I have personally had several pets live beyond their years due to a lot of love and attention to behaviours that communicate their needs (meds, food, grooming, love, attention, exercise, play, rest) Monday to Friday, I am available from 4pm daily and overnight until 7am. I have weekends and school holidays available to care for pets full time. At the client's home, I provide for the physical and emotional needs of the pets- food, water, any medications, cages and litter cleaning and play/exercise, basic grooming. Owners provide sensory toys, games and treats so I can engage their pets and provide a stimulating environment.

“Allison is the best! I felt comfortable with her the minute we met. She was professional and genuinely cared about my pet. I will definitely use her again!”

“Excellent sitter, our cat loved her instantly. Dana sent great photos and videos during her visits, and kept him entertained. She really went above and beyond.”

About: I have been helping my friends and family with their animals since I was 15 years old. I have a passion for animals and it continues to grow as I get older. I am comfortable with all dogs and cats of any breads. I am a certified dog trainer and groomer and am even comfortable with dispensing of medications the animals need. I am currently working full time from Monday-Friday. However, I have open availability on weekdays in the evenings and on the weekends. I have a trusted and reliable vehicle to ensure proper transportation to and from clients houses. I am a very trusted and responsible individual. I ensure the safety of both my clients animals and their house. I will always double check that the animals have what they need, are safe in the house and then make sure all windows and doors are locked before I leave.

About: Since I can remember, cats have always been a part of my life. Over the past decades, I’ve had the privilege of growing up alongside multiple cats — from being a curious child to becoming a cat sitter today, their companionship has formed the softest yet strongest bond in my heart. Every breath they take, every gentle meow, every flick of the tail, and every quiet gaze is their way of communicating emotion and trust. Years of living with cats has taught me how to listen — truly listen — to their needs, feelings, and natural rhythm. As a professional painter, I’m trained to capture the expressions and emotions of life through careful observation. This sensitivity also shapes the way I care for cats — I’m able to read their subtle reactions and respond with genuine understanding and respect, honoring their personality and pace. I offer personalized, one-on-one care whether your cat is a shy and sensitive little soul, or an energetic and curious tiny explorer. I care for every cat I meet with the same love, patience, and devotion I give to my own. Every day, I maintain consistent routines including scheduled feeding, litter cleaning, brushing, and tracking water and food intake. I also provide gentle companionship, comforting touch, engaging play, and interactive enrichment. My goal is: • to create a stress-free, safe, and joyful environment built on trust and happiness for cats; and to give pet parents true peace of mind — reassurance you can feel, not just hear. Love is where my care begins, and it’s the reason I continue doing what I do. I’m a freelance artist, so my schedule is very flexible and I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to plan visits around each cat’s usual schedule and individual needs. I can make plenty of time for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I follow each cat’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention based on their personality and comfort level. I’m patient with shy or nervous cats and always let them approach me at their own pace. When caring for cats in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their pets and their space. I make sure doors and windows are secure, keep food and litter areas clean, and watch for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Gabriella was great - prompt response when I sent in a cat sitting request She looked after my pet (cat) just over a week, and all went well She even shoveled the snow on the driveway!”

About: Welcome to your dog’s second home in Cranston’s Riverstone. I’m Rory, a full-time work-from-home sitter who cares for one family’s dogs at a time, so your dog gets focused attention and a predictable, low-stress stay. I’m home throughout the day and night, which means your dog is rarely alone. If I do step out briefly, it’s never for more than an hour, and I’m always happy to align with your dog’s routine and comfort level. ⸻ Daily routine, walks, and outdoor time We have a fully fenced backyard for regular outdoor breaks, play, and relaxed time outside. I’m also just two blocks from the Bow River pathway system, with paved and unpaved trails, hills, and quiet spots that are perfect for sniffing and exploring. Walks are tailored to the dog. That can mean a short 10-minute stroll, or longer 8 km loops (an hour or more) through the river paths and surrounding hills, depending on age, energy level, and preference. ⸻ A calm canine companion Your dog will share the space with Willow, my well-mannered senior Great Dane. She’s low-energy, gentle, and has spent now 3 years helping visiting dogs settle in comfortably. Her calm presence is especially helpful for dogs who benefit from a relaxed, steady environment while their owners are away. Because I only host one household at a time, the dynamic stays simple and manageable. ⸻ Experience and care approach I grew up on a farm and have cared for animals my entire life. I’m comfortable with puppies (typically not intact males), adult dogs, and seniors, and I’m happy to administer oral medications if needed. Dogs are welcome on furniture and can sleep in the same room as me. Crates are preferred for sleeping and downtime, and I can provide extra-large crates if requested, or use your own setup if that’s what your dog prefers. ⸻ Drop-ins and house checks In addition to boarding and daycare, I offer pet drop-ins and daytime house checks in south Calgary and northern Okotoks. These visits can include feeding, walks, companionship, plant watering, mail collection, and garbage day management. I work from home and can keep a 24/7 eye on your pet. When sitting we won’t be leaving them at home, and will take them on daily walks around the neighborhood, including the paved walkways along the Bow River in Riverstone. I work from home full-time and only look after one family’s dogs at a time, so pets get plenty of supervision and consistency. My home has a fully fenced yard for frequent outdoor breaks, and walks and playtime are always tailored to each dog’s needs. I closely follow feeding and care instructions, can give oral medications if needed, and send regular photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have never gone without having one by my side, so looking after them feels completely natural to me. While I was away at university, I even fostered a couple of dogs because I missed having that companionship so much it was incredibly rewarding to give them love and stability while they waited for their forever homes. I’m comfortable with a range of needs, from energetic puppies who benefit from consistent routines and basic training, to senior dogs who need a gentler, more attentive approach. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I build with every dog I care for as I treat them like my own. Recently, I lost my two dogs, and while I’m not quite ready to bring a new puppy into my home, caring for others’ pets feels like the perfect way to keep sharing that love, attention, and companionship that dogs deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make it a priority in my day. I’m currently working part-time with a chiropractic internship from Monday to Thursday, which still leaves me with plenty of time and energy to give your dog the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m available on weekdays after 4pm as well as on weekends, making it easy for me to accommodate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or overnight care. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to making sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. At my place, I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and supervised play. There is also one friendly 2-year-old Havanese (my parents’ dog), so I’m mindful of introductions and always make sure all dogs feel comfortable and safe. I can easily crate your dog if that’s part of their routine, or they’re welcome to have free roam of the house if preferred. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible to keep things consistent and stress-free. My goal is always to create a trustworthy, secure environment where your pet feels relaxed, cared for, and right at home.

“Liza was absolutely amazing! I feel like I scored the jackpot with finding her :) With the recent diabetes diagnosis for Winston, I completely forgot he needs full time care now. I scrambled to find a sitter as I was set to go camping may long weekend. Liza has experience with diabetic cats which put me completely at ease. She came Friday and went through everything with me and met my boys as I was gone Friday afternoon. I truly have nothing but amazing things to say about Liza. She provided the best reports, my cats felt at ease and she even used the board I've setup for tracking for insulin injections. I was hoping to find a long term sitter for future uses, and I think I have (if she'll have me as a client)! Thank you so much again!!!”

We have a pretty big fenced back yard and a live around the corner from a beautiful pond which makes for great walks and easy access !

“Hamsha was a great cat sitter and she got along really well with my cat. She understood his personality, provided very thoughtful and timely updates with photos every time, and was very happy to deal with unexpected events. Very responsive too — always answering messages pretty fast and doing punctual visits during the time agreed. It was also a breeze to arrange a time for keys dropoff + meet & greet :) I can't recommend her enough!”

About: I currently work from home in marketing from Calgary and I'm looking for some extra work that aligns with my passion for animals. I have experience taking care of animals (meal prep, grooming, feeding, playing etc.). I would love to meet your furry friends 😊 When I come to your house I will dedicate my time to providing lots of nourishment and entertainment for your pet. There's nothing I love more than cats and dogs, animals make me happy. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets. I work from home so there is alot of flexibility for time of day. I can also take last minute requests. I can be available on weekends as well. I live with an Australian Shepherd and take him for walks multiple times per day. I have experience feeding, cleaning and playing with dogs and cats.

About: Your dogs second best friend! I am a former dog walker looking to fill some extra time I have, what better way to fill it with your good boy/girl! If your pet has food limitations they're in luck as I am the owner of Dognut Cafe; organically handmade pet treats and pizzas! I certainly would treat your dogs as though they are my own. I instantly fall in love with every dog I meet! And... My son certainly takes after his Mom! He respects each dogs space, doesn't stare them in the eyes, and loves and respects them all the same. Currently we have a very friendly and very sweet Corgi named Eevee. As a pet care giver I would ensure your dog is clean before returning home, as well as leave a journal entry or a note behind informing you of our day. I can even send you photos during our time together. I can also do live videos, special occasions photo (Winter Solstice Reindeer / Christmas Stocking, Easter Doggy, National dog day, Halloween Costume Walk...) I have my first aid and pet first aid, so I can administer medications (need written directions for insurance purposes) as well as give them all the love they need while awaiting your return. Please reach out if your budget doesn't allow for these prices. I can always adjust on the back end, it's about fit not finances. Daycare / Boarding: Presently I work from home and have the flexibility to move around as I see fit. Buckmaster Park is a block away for shaded walks throughout the day. Perfect for dogs of all kinds! No fence, relief as desired. During assessment with any pet service provider it's important to discuss limitations and the length of time a dog can be left alone. This will be clearly outlined during our first meeting. Please note this is a household so there is human activity occurring; we leave to grocery shop, run errands, have friends and neighbours pop in. ALL of which will be in the best interest of the animals during this time away, and minimized if discussed prior to. PLEASE communicate the exact needs of your dog / schedule as I will mimic to the best of my ability. Dog Sitting (in clients home): no one else will be allowed in the home unless otherwise agreed upon: in writing!

About: As a dedicated pet lover with a deep passion for animals, being a pet sitter is not just a job for me, but a calling. I believe that pets are beloved members of our families, and they deserve the highest level of care and attention when their owners are away. With years of experience in pet care, including volunteering at local animal shelters and fostering animals in need, I have honed my skills in providing exceptional care for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. I understand the unique needs and personalities of different animals, and I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for them. One of my top priorities as a pet sitter is the health and safety of the pets in my care. That's why I require all pets to be up-to-date on vaccinations to ensure the well-being of both the visiting pets and those in my home. This policy ensures a healthy and secure environment for all furry guests. I have a very secure location in my house where they are allowed to roam freely in the house with my small yard. I prefer the environment where the client is more comfortable towards its furry being as I understand animals love to stay more where they have grown up. I'm open to stay at client's house for a day or two for house sitting. As a pet sitter, I offer a range of services tailored to the needs of each individual pet, including regular exercise, feeding, bathing, and administering medication if necessary. I am also skilled in handling emergencies giving pet owners peace of mind knowing that their beloved pets are in capable and caring hands. Above all, my motivation to be a pet sitter stems from my unwavering love and passion for animals. I am dedicated to providing the best care possible for pets, creating a stress-free and enjoyable experience for them, and building lasting relationships with both the pets and their owners. I’m currently working from home, as my job offers me a flexible environment to work which helps me fulfill my passion of taking care of pets. On weekends I’m free so I can take full time care. I work according to the client’s need as they know their children better. There are no restrictions in my house as the little ones will not be chained or caged unless required as per the clients request as I believe they should have their own freedom and should feel like home.

“Connor is great in tending to the needs of my French Bulldog, Perogie. I would highly recommend!”
