Pet Sitting Kananaskis

About: Full-day availability: * October 9–12 * November 4-8 * November 20-23 * December 16-27 * December 30-January 3 * February 8-February 21 These dates I will be around the whole day etc and won’t need to go into my nursing job. I work Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday normally from 8-430 but can let them out on lunch breaks since I get a 1 hr break. During work days I can only let them out every 4-6 hours. 🐾 Hi! I’m Danielle! I've been lucky enough to enjoy the company a few dogs over the years with differing needs. I've been the mother of a large and goofy Pyredane whose need for adventure was similar to that of my own. Our favourite walks were at Nose Hill Park and Sue Higgins, and we loved snuggling up on the couch for a movie afterwards (after dinner of course). Wiley had a lot of health issues from the start and was constantly on meds. I dealt with allergies and sensitivities, constant infections and hospitalizations, separation anxiety, hot spots, and bathroom accidents. I spent a lot of time managing her needs so that she would be comfortable. I am familiar with dogs with special needs, meds, and have the patience and skillset to recognize and intervene when they are in distress. I grew up with a cocker spaniel who was a reactive greeter. Charlie wasn't friendly with other dogs so we leash-walked him and had to anticipate his needs before he could react. Because of this I am well-versed in dog behaviour and body language, and what to do in a crisis. I've also taken care of my family's active labradoodle Charlie #2 (creative, right?) Charlie is the happiest, friendliest, and easiest dog I have taken care of, and he is super social and bubbly. I take care of him on and off when my family is away. He is a very active and happy puppy. You can count on me to meet your pet's needs and give them a sense of safety and security. I am very cuddly and interactive with animals. They will feel very loved and attended to. I work 4 days a week so I have lots of time to spend with your furry friend. When I'm not at home, I'm out for a walk or a run, or visiting friends who love having dog gatherings. Although they may miss you a lot, I can assure you that your fur babies will feel loved and cared for and have a lot of fun with me on our adventures. If they need to spend time away from other dogs, that's okay too, I can be flexible in my routine. I’m happy to adapt to whatever routine works best for your dog I can do on leash or off leash walks, dog park socialization, play time etc... You let me know what works for you! I am fine if your pup feels comfortable sleeping in the same room/on the bed, and I'm also fine if they need to stay in their crate/kennel. I’m comfortable administering medications, managing special diets, and caring for dogs with chronic conditions or anxiety. I’m also very familiar with dog body language and how to calmly handle tense situations. Whether your pup is crate-trained, prefers their own bed, or likes sleeping nearby, I’ll stick to what they’re used to so they feel secure.

“Sara was excellent to work with! She gave great communication throughout the day, with lots of pics - which helped us feel secure - knowing our pup was being well cared for. We look forward to our next outing and having you in our home with Molly. Thanks so much Sara!”

About: I have always had a special connection to animals. I have lots of experience with large to small dogs. I love going on multiple walks with the pups as well as taking them on hikes out to the mountains (if that is something you wish). I have no problem taking them to a dog park as I have an suv. I will send updates on your animals with pictures and videos. I myself have a cat so I have a lot of experience with felines as well. You can count on me to give your fur babes the best love,attention, cuddles and care. If you would like me to stay at your home overnight I will treat it as my own and make sure to leave it in pristine condition. I look forwards to meeting you and making new furry friends.

“Once again, Liza has proved to be the best sitter I could have asked for. I needed a last minute sitter (as Winston has come out of remission and requires insulin again), I reached out to Liza who was able to help me out in a pinch. Her Rover notes are great and detailed, the pictures are adorable. I never have to worry about their wellbeing. 🔟/🔟 Thank you again Liza 😭👌”

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.
