House Sitting in Irricana

“Tiana looked after my cat Jean Luc in my home for nearly 3 weeks, and she was fantastic. He had some health issues while she was there and she dealt with them with care and compassion. Great communication as well, the whole time I was away!”

“Madison was absolutely fantastic! She is attentive, kind, and clearly loves animals. Our dogs were in trusted hands the entire time. She established a trusting relationship with us and our dogs right away and every photo they were smiling! A really thoughtful touch was having personalized ornaments made for our dogs, it meant a lot to us and showed just how much she cares. Madison was thorough in every aspect of her care for the dogs and made sure our home was clean and tidy when we returned. We’ll definitely be booking Madison again for our next trip and perhaps walking on a regular basis!”

About: I've been a loving pet owner for over 30 years, ever since my kids were little. Now that they're all grown, I have even more time (and love!) to dedicate to caring for your furry family members. With decades of experience and a genuine love for all animals, I treat every pet like one of my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of snuggles. Whether it's a walk, a cuddle, or special care, your pets are in safe, loving hands with me! Shelly I’m currently working from home. Looking to be able to help care for pets in my home. And provide loving space for them to feel safe while you are away from them. I have a back yard that is fully fenced. I have a large crate of you are needing that to be used and I have a well trained dog that would love some company. If this isn’t something you want other arrangements can be made to have separate areas for them.

“Great communication the entire time. Very passionate about this job, tons of pictures and videos and updates every day. Will definitely rebook when I need a pet sitter again, exactly the kind of person I'd want watching my pets”

“Borys & Purity were great. The dogs loved them and their energy they bring to the sit. They took good care of our dogs, fed them on time and went for a long walk. Chewy & Nova are lap dogs so loved the cuddles. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing their house and dogs taken care of while they are away.”

“I can't thank Julia enough for the incredible care they provided to my dog, Haru! They made sure my dog felt comfortable and loved during their stay, and I received regular updates with adorable photos. It was so reassuring to know my dog was in such capable hands while I was away. Haru was happy and well-cared for, and I could tell they had a great time! Julia went above and beyond by even making it seem like she wasn’t even in my place during her stay, she practically left it as she wasn’t even there! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive dog sitter!”

“Shelby was amazing with our girl!! She was able to calm my anxious girl who has separation anxiety. My girl loved her the moment she walked into our home. They went on a walk and Shelby just won her over with cuddles and pets. This was my first time leaving my girl with anyone and Shelby surely took great care of her. 🙂”

About: Aside from standard service and care with lots of pets and scratches, I can help with your cats and dogs medical needs! I was raised with cats in my home as well always being around my family and friends dogs alot my whole life and currently have a diabetic Cat of my own. So for both cats and dogs I can safely, 1) - Cleanly and calmly administer/take blood sugar tests with a Glucometer 2) - Perform insulin injections from pens, needles and pill form 3) - Perform/give vitamin injections and/or pills 4) - I know the signs of spiking or dipping blood sugar in cats and dogs and can test if I see any signs and give the corn syrup or an injection immediately 5) - Give properly timed food and water to your diabetic cats and dogs based on the diet plan you have already made with your vet 6 - Cats only ) - I can give owners with cats that may or may not be stubborn/picky towards their diets/food choices... a healthy no carb kibble/wet/raw diet based suggestion helping with either preventing cats with out diabetes from ever getting diabetes or... with helping cats WITH diabetes by creating a better healthier diet plan for a happier/healthier future! (For people interested, I'll provide a 3 tier budget options list for owners with cats based on my hands on studying/experience I have with them towards their diet/food habits and plans with price negotiations before any final decisions). This is my full time job so I'm flexible and I strictly work with cats both diabetic and non diabetic and I have help from a nurse at home for my own cat with diabetes so I can freely help most times when I won't be home to tend to my cats needs at home :) I am very loving and affectionate with my cat and I treat all cats the same good or bad and know when to respect their personal space if they are more shy/introverted! I can also handle more aggressive cats seeing my cat was a stray before I rescued him from the streets, there were times where he's been aggressive and scratched with bunny kicks and left some damage... so I know how to help encourage other cats to reverse aggressive behaviour and redirect it to become more gently/playful.

About: Hi there! My name is Ryleigh! As a pet parent myself, I know that feeling when you find a solid pet sitter or dog walker you vibe with! Let me be the peace of mind while you’re away from your pets. I’m happy to stop in for plays, potty breaks, and treats, pet sit while you’re away, or take your buddy out for a walk while you’re at work! While I love long walks and goofy play times with those high-energy pups, I’ll also be here for your shy or senior baby, comfortable giving meds and speciality care if needed as well. Special skills your pets might want to know about: - Great at giving treats - Excellent walker - Prompt time management: Meals will be on time (tell your cat) - Proficient ball tosser I work remotely and I’m usually free throughout the day for scheduled walks or check-ins. I’m also happy to pet sit and be there with your pets during the day. Let me know your dates ☺️ I'm currently working a remote job, so I can work around your schedule to some extent. Free most of the week but I do need a heads-up so I can plan my meetings and doggy visits accordingly :) It's not always easy being away from your pets, but the right person can make a huge difference. If you’d like to I'd love to meet for coffee or hop on a call to understand your preferences and your pet’s needs better. I always love and care for pets and your home like they are my own.

“I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my old lady. Dalia is super communicative and sends me lots of photos and updates. My house is always spotless after she’s been there.”

“Dale and Lauren were wonderful! We have 3 dogs, 2 of which must be kept separated. Dale and Lauren met with us twice before our trip to chat about the dog’s needs and how we manage them. They sent regular updates and photos while we were away and really put our minds at ease. The house was kept clean and tidy. They watered our plants and even cleaned up our back garden before they left. They kept the dogs busy with fun activities based on each of their individual exercise requirements. Our dogs were happy and relaxed when we returned home. I would 100% recommend Dale and Lauren for house/pet sitting. They are reliable and trustworthy and I feel like they went above and beyond while caring for our dogs. I really enjoyed the cute cards they left for us at the end of their stay. After a long tiring day of travelling, it was a nice surprise to come home to a humorous little story about each dog - which really highlighted how well they got to know the dogs while caring for them. It can be scary leaving your pets with people you’ve just met, but rest assured, your pets and home are in good hands with Dale and Lauren!”

“Richelle was an amazing pet sitter for Peggy Sue, Billie Jean and James.. We had no worries while we were away. They loved playing with little Aria and Richelle sent us videos everyday to assure us that our doggies were having a good time and being cared for.. If you are looking for a caring person to look after your pets, I would recommend Richelle as a pet sitter..”

About: A life-long animal lover, I’ve taken care of many beloved critters - big and small, from pet birds and rodents, to furry creatures (cats and dogs) to horses. A bit of an animal whisperer, I likely communicate better with them than people. Raising my own Entkebucher Mountain Dog and training her to be a service dog to bring with me to help provide support to others has taught me to be a better leader - to both animals and people, to be patient and understanding. I believe in positive reinforcement training and have trained my dog with this credo in mind. I’m reliable, patient and loving. My previous Entlebucher came into my life at age 8 and lived until 14.5 - a beautiful soul, I learned the joys and challenges of taking care of a senior dog. There are many cats in my life as well - I love to play with them (and dogs) as I feel that’s an important part of daily life. And can also just let them be when they want to be alone. I’m currently on a writing sabbatical and have plenty of time to take care of your pet/s. Ideally looking for longer term sitting in BC or AB. I love to walk and hike, no matter the weather, and am happy to bring your furry family member to explore new trails. As I am on sabbatical, I am looking for vacation pet sitting in your home. I’m flexible and happy to follow your instructions for caring for your pet. I share my own beloved fur baby with my former partner and would bring her with me, when it’s my turn to take care of her. She’s great with cats and makes friends fast with other dogs.

“Jocelyn was amazing! She was very friendly and quick to respond to any of our messages. Our dog was very happy and relaxed when we came home from our trip. The house was left tidy and ready to move back into. Thanks Jocelyn!”

“We were so fortunate to have Stacey care for our house and very active 9 month old dog Ollie while we were on vacation. Stacey and her sweet furry side kick Fred entertained Ollie with brain games, fetch, long walks and lots of snuggles! She sent us pictures and updates daily which our whole family enjoyed. We were so worried about Ollie due to him having separation anxiety. However, Stacey’s experience with dogs and willingness to keep Ollie mentally and physically stimulates worked like a charm! We will recommend Stacey to everyone and would be happy to have her help again!!”

“Mike took absolutely fantastic care of my two cats and kept me informed and updated throughout the whole time he was house sitting. My cats are usually a little skittish around new people but they loved Mike’s calm energy immediately.”

About: I have a very flexible work schedule with the ability to care and cuddle with your fur babies almost 24/7 (except for bathroom breaks! lol) and just perfectly located near the airport! I work at home full time with emails and teams messages as almost sole communication within the team. I am pretty flexible to cater to your pets needs during the day. I have been very consistent with client’s instructions on their diet, medication, and daily activities. I work great with fur babies and even had them cuddling with me in bed on my first night.

About: I’ve grown up with multiple dogs and currently have 3 of my own. I have previous experience pet sitting for friends and family looking after their fur babies. I have experience administering medication, grooming, training, playing, and much more! I would love to take care of your fur babies and keep them comfortable in their homes! I’m currently studying online and off of a seasonal job. I’m fairly flexible and have some small commitments through volunteer work, but am otherwise available to spend lots of time with your pets! I enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing, and cuddling. I have worked with both kennelled and house trained pets. My goal is to keep your fur babies as comfortable and happy as possible, making them feel loved and well cared for until their pawrents are back home!

About: I’ve worked at a boarding kennel for 3.5 years, mainly In the cattery, extremely comfortable providing medication to cats, some experience with small and senior dogs aswell! I am currently working part time at the kennel still, as I am trying to start schooling for a career I do still have a passion for animals aka our “fur babies” I have one cat of my own she is my baby, and gets treated as such, following that, the care I provide to other animals is the same level of care I would provide to my own!

About: Hi! I’m Marisa, I’m an animal lover to my core. I have knowledge and experience caring for animals through my employment at multiple pet stores, research, and caring for my own animals. I’ve spent time volunteering at the human society. I have pet sat for friends and family as well as grew up in a home where we ethically bred dogs and provided boarding for dogs. I have a dog of my own, a goofy couch potato named Nova. She loves to make friends and play with other dogs. Friendly with cats. Fully vaccinated. I will provide attentive loving care you can trust for your fur babies. I am currently home full-time. Other than going out for an hour or two at a time for errands, I usually stick around the house or yard. I love being outdoors and dog walking gets me out of the house. I have a large fenced backyard. I know of many paths and fenced dog parks near me. I have access to reliable transportation and don’t mind driving around the city for in home visits.
