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: Its hard enough to leave a pet with a stranger I'm hoping to make that a little bit easier. Besides taking care of personal pets since I was 10yrs old, in recent years I've taking a liking to babysitting friends dogs both at their home or mine. I have a daughter who I consider when looking at my schedule and as long as we have a friendly bunch I would be taking her along. I've taught her to respect animals just as much as I do and pet personal space is considered into that. I have a small fenced yard, but plenty of walking trails around. I don't have any pets of my own besides the 2 dogs and cat at my moms that stayed with my family when I moved out. I like to engage with the animals, if I'm coming to your house or otherwise to care for your animal I want them to feel seen and loved in the stressful moments while the most important people in their life are away.
About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I have 10+ years of personal experience with pets, along with hands-on experience through Rover. I’ve completed several pet-sitting stays, including caring for dogs, cats, and multi-pet households, and I’m fortunate to have received some very nice reviews from previous clients. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles, and I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs. I really enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for a walk, playing and getting some energy out, exploring new trails, or simply hanging out at home and keeping them company. Communication is also important to me when caring for someone else’s pets. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and instructions as closely as possible and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am able to work around your pet’s needs and routine. I’m generally available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to discuss specific dates and times to make sure I can provide the care your pet needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I’ll do my best to keep their schedule as consistent and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I always follow the owner’s instructions and any safety precautions they have established for their pet. This could include using a kennel when needed, keeping pets in designated or fenced-off areas, keeping doors and gates securely closed, and making sure they don’t have access to anything unsafe. I also pay attention to each pet’s behaviour and surroundings and will adjust as needed to keep them comfortable and safe. If I’m ever unsure about something, I’ll reach out to the owner rather than make assumptions.
About: I am a huge animal lover and a proud pet parent to two cats and a big, energetic Sheepadoodle! Because I care for my own furry family every day, I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. I will absolutely treat yours like my own. My previous cat lived to be 21 years old, so I have a lot of handson experience with the gentle, patient care that older animals require. I am dedicating my time full-time to pet care, specifically focusing on cat drop-in visits. Because my schedule is completely open and highly flexible, I can easily accommodate your cat's preferred routine, whether they need morning, afternoon, or evening check-ins. I have plenty of time to give them undivided attention, active playtime, and all the cuddles they want! Since I specialize exclusively in drop-in visits, my top priority is making sure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and happy in their own home territory. I am highly observant, detail-oriented, and extremely respectful of your living space. During my visits, I ensure all doors are secure, meticulously clean the litter boxes, and strictly follow your specific feeding or care instructions. I will always send you detailed updates and lots of photos so you can have total peace of mind while you are away!

“This was the first time I've left Bee all by herself and she was well loved and content when I returned. David sent me photos for every check-in and took time to play with her and talk to her. I highly recommend him; he put my mind at ease and I could enjoy my vacation.”

About: I grew up on an acreage and have cared for animals my entire life. I began pet sitting for others early on, including for a veterinarian family, caring for dogs, cats, horses, fish, and a variety of other animals.

I offer pet sitting, dog-walking, feeding/watering, exercise and daily care tailored to each animal's individual needs. I currently work part-time and attend University classes at the UofA for Animal Health. However this still allows me lots of free time to direct towards pet sitting and with communication I am very open to discussing scheduling.

I always follow rules and instructions for certain things as well in order to maintain a safe environment for everyone.
“I wish I could give Samana 10 ☆s! Samana's compassion knows no bounds. She genuinely loves what she does and her animals! This was my 1st occasion away from Phoebe in a year. She was diagnosed with diabetes in April and I thought it would be difficult to find a qualified caregiver. Samana provided daily updates, photos, and notes. I had NO concerns whatsoever. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again.”

I am able to adjust my schedule to take care of adorable pets. I am responsible, kind, gentle and playful with my pet and since I love all animals, I will be sure to treat your pet with all the love they deserve. In case of doing house sitting, I will be available on my phone for whichever inquiry you might have and I will take notes on your pets favourite toys and ways of playing. Also if there’s any special requirements like administering medication I will be sure to send proof it’s done.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 11 years old. My dog Tank was my best friend until he passed away a few years ago. Now any time I am excited for any time I get to spend with animals and I love caring for furry friends!

About: Pets have been a huge part of the family since before I was born. As the oldest cousin, I've been the designated pet/babysitter since I was 10! Most recently, I've been raising a rescue named Pretzel. She's a high energy, two month old puppy! I've been training her to ring a bell when she needs to go outside, and she has picked it up so quick! As an actor, I work part time and attend rehearsals. I can always accomodate specific walk/meal times, and I'm free to spend nights anywhere needed in the city. I always carry treats with me to make sure your little one feels safe.

About: Hi, I’m Jenna! I’m a graduated Veterinary Medical Assistant/ Client Services with the opportunity to help & take care of all sorts of animals. I have always had a passion for animals starting at a young age and I always knew I work be working with animals. My friends & family have trusted me over the years to take care of their animals on daily, weekly or monthly basis. I work at my veterinary clinic 4 days a week at 10 hours with every second Friday- Tuesday off. I am happy & excited to accommodate you and your pets needs whatever that may look like. Every pet requires different attention and needs to be cared for properly such as special dietary needs, medication or daily exercise. I truly know how important it is to make sure your pet maintains the enrichment it needs to feel content & taken care of.
About: I'm a university student who loves caring for animals. Between part-time jobs, pet care has become my favourite way to stay connected to animals and earn a little extra, and I bring real enthusiasm to every visit. I've been around animals my whole life. I had my dog for 9 years, and my childhood cat lived to an incredible 21 years old... so I'm completely comfortable with pets of all ages, temperaments, and routines, from high-energy puppies to senior animals who need a gentler touch. Beyond my own pets, I have hands-on experience with drop-in visits and care for other people's dogs and cats. I have a returning client whose cat and dog I've looked after multiple times while they travel. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I always keep owners in the loop with photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. As an outdoors person who loves walking and running, I'm especially great with active dogs who need real exercise (not just a quick lap around the block). That said, I'm just as happy with a calm check-in, a cuddle session, and a cozy afternoon for pets who prefer it lowkey. I currently work part-time and keep my Rover calendar updated regularly to reflect my availability. I’m generally available Fridays and Saturdays, and I’m also happy to take bookings on additional days off throughout the week as my schedule allows. I understand the importance of reliability and communication, so I make sure to keep my availability updated week-to-week and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. Whether it’s a scheduled walk, drop-in visit, or last-minute check-in, I aim to provide dependable care and flexibility whenever possible. I always aim to provide calm, reliable, and attentive care while keeping pets comfortable in their usual routine and environment. During walks, I pay close attention to safety, leash handling, traffic, and each dog’s individual temperament and energy level. I’m also comfortable with active dogs and happy to provide longer walks or runs when needed. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, food if needed, bathroom breaks, attention, and companionship while keeping the home secure and tidy. I value clear communication and provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.

Melinda had a meet and greet with Simba and two drop on visits with him. She was very patient and understanding of Simba’s barking (he is a small poodle iykyk). Im a very nervous dog mom and Melinda made us feel comfortable leaving Simba in her care. Would book with her for next time.
