About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Pets have always been an important part of my life, and I treat them like family members. I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and want to provide reliable, compassionate care when their owners can't be there. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including senior pets, and I'm comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. I also have experience with shy and anxious pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and earning an animal's trust. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to provide care that matches their individual personality and needs. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand how important trust and communication are. I'll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident they're happy, safe, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own senior cat and understand the importance of consistency, reliability, and attention to detail when it comes to pet care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. When caring for a client's pet, I make it a priority to follow their routine as closely as possible and provide the attention, exercise, companionship, and care their pet needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care is something I look forward to rather than simply another task on my schedule. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's individual needs and preferences. During drop-in visits, I'll ensure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks as needed, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection. For cats, I'll also scoop litter boxes and keep their area clean and comfortable. For dogs, I'll provide safe, enjoyable walks tailored to their age, energy level, and abilities. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk or a slower-paced stroll with lots of sniffing and exploring, I'll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Jasmine took great care of my two cats while I was out of the country for three weeks. She sent me detailed updates and some very cute photos after every visit. I will definitely book her again next time I travel.”

“From the moment my dog met Andrea, she was enamored. Pepper is normally suspicious and barks at people who come to the door, but I think Andrea has such a calm quiet gentle demeanor, that Pepper felt comfortable with her right away! The cats, too, came right over and were mesmerized. Andrea carefully listened to and took note of all instructions, was easy to communicate with throughout, and I had absolutely no worries leaving my pets and home in her care. She got some great photos of my pets during visits, too, so I could see how content they were. Andrea also noticed and responded to my senior dog's needs in terms of energy levels--walking her when she was energetic and staying chill when she needed that. I highly recommend Andrea!”

“Tianna did a fantastic job caring for Suggy for drop in visits while I was gone and I definitely recommend her services!”

“Vivian was absolutely outstanding! She accommodated my last-minute request to take care of Mochi, and I couldn’t be more grateful. ❤️ She was so kind, accommodating, and wonderful with him. Mochi looked so happy and comfortable, which gave me so much peace of mind. It means a lot to know he was in such good hands. Thank you so much, Vivian, for taking such great care of my boy! I highly recommend her and would definitely trust her with Mochi again! 🐶❤️”

About: We bred dogs in our family home growing up. I’m comfortable with all ages, sizes and breeds of dogs. I’ve always lived with a dog and dogs are naturally drawn toward me! I’m available during the day, evenings and anytime on the weekends! (Excluding Monday evening, Tuesday mornings and Thursdays mornings). Please reach out so we can organize and look at both of our calendars! Each animal requires a unique style of care. I care for my pets closely around their personality and most importantly I make exercise, mental stimulation and affection a priority. As well as quality nutrition. I prefer to shy away from unhealthy treats as I value the longevity and health of my pet companions!

About: I have had pets my entire life, ranging from cats and dogs to pygmy goats! I have experience with a wide variety of pets with different personalities and I love getting to see all their different little quirks and learning how to care for them! I am a university student and I work Monday and Thursday evenings. I have most evenings and the weekends to care for and spend time with your pets! I always try to enter the situation with a warm and kind energy but I also always focus on them and their needs and watch for signs of discomfort and anxiety from them. If the animals do show signs of distress I will always keep my distance and let them come to me when they are ready! I always try and predict and watch for their needs so they can receive the care they need whenever.

About: I can take care of your pet in your home or go on a great walk. I look forward to seeing all the animals and servicing their needs. I work from home and have open availability to service clients. I’m available day or night. You pet will be happy and satisfied with my care. I don’t offer the service of the animals coming to my house. I will come to the animal. I have transportation and am available for anywhere in the Edmonton and surrounding areas

About: Hello, Pet Parents! 👋 ​I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals—from farm cats in my childhood to training our family puppy for agility competitions in my teens. Animals aren’t just a hobby for me; they are my passion. While in university, I dedicated my time to volunteering at the SPCA, helping rehabilitate and comfort large, fearful dogs. ​Today, my home is filled with love from our two cats—including my 17-year-old senior orange tabby, Naranjito—and our family dog. ​Why Choose Me? ​Through years of personal pet ownership and professional pet sitting (including dogs, cats, and birds), I have developed a comfort level with specialized medical care: ​Senior Care: Understanding the gentle pace and extra patience older pets need. ​Injectable Medications & Testing: Experienced with diabetic care, including blood tests and insulin injections. ​Special Needs & Emergency Calm: Capable of managing complex conditions like canine epilepsy and severe allergies, ensuring your pet is comforted and safe during vulnerable moments. ​​ ​To us, our pets are a wonderful, beloved part of our world. But to them? We are their entire world. ​That simple realization shapes everything I do as a pet sitter. Every interaction, every walk, and every cuddle session comes down to one fundamental question: How is this animal experiencing the world, and how can I make that experience better? ​ ​Animals experience life through a completely different lens—and often, a completely different nose! ​When your dog goes for a walk, it isn't just about physical exercise; it’s their morning newspaper, their social feed, and their grand adventure. When I’m with your pets, I act as their bridge to a bigger, more exciting world: ​For the dogs: It’s giving them the time and patience to sniff out every trail, explore new scents, and satisfy their curiosity. (My own pup always inspects my pant legs to get the full report on which fur-friends I’ve visited!) ​For the cats: It’s tuning into their subtle signals, and letting them explore at their own pace—whether that's investigating a new toy or scent-checking where I've been. ​ ​I don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" pet sitting. Every animal has a distinct personality, and unique comfort zones. My goal is to meet them right where they are and provide genuine mental and physical enrichment while you're away. ​I treat every pet as the center of my universe while they're in my care—because I know you are the center of theirs. I work as a part-time letter carrier, but I have mornings (until 12), almost all evenings, and most weekends available to care for your pet(s). I have been called "too trusting" in my past... but this has luckily never injured me in a serious way. In fact, the worst thing is realizing that my standard of trustworthiness is NOT universal... but that has made me more skeptical of others when it really matters. Caring for your pet is something that requires a lot of trust of me, and I appreciate your skepticism. I wouldn't leave my fur-babies with just anyone, too. Training dogs when I was younger made me much more aware of body language and different personalities. I am always watching for potential stressors or safety issues. I love giving dogs the freedom of an off-leash area, but would have to trust that they will listen to me before being comfortable with any safety risks involved with that.

About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and have experience caring for many different types of pets. Along with my two dogs, I’ve spent years pet sitting dogs and cats for family friends and have experience caring for pets with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’ve also previously owned a bearded dragon and lots of fish, so I’m comfortable learning and following care routines for animals beyond just cats and dogs. I’m responsible, patient, and very attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I genuinely love animals and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work part time and I’m in school but I’m available Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays after 2pm. I’m also available anytime on Saturdays but I’m only available on Sunday evenings :) I treat every client’s home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow all instructions closely, keep pets safe and supervised, and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. I’m attentive to changes in a pet’s behaviour or health and will communicate with the owner if anything seems unusual. I also respect the home by keeping things clean, being mindful of belongings, and making sure everything is as it was when I arrived.

“Thank you, Karen, for going above and beyond and for being so supportive and understanding while caring for Sophia. I truly appreciate the dedication, compassion, and care you provided, as well as your regular updates and excellent communication throughout the process. It gave me peace of mind knowing Sophia was in such caring and capable hands. I highly recommend booking with Karen, as she provides exceptional, high-quality care and genuinely goes the extra mile for the pets she looks after!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications, maintaining routines, and providing lots of attention, patience, and affection. As a university student, pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a flexible schedule. My flexible schedule allows for me to provide consistent walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and companionship to the animal I am caring for. Whether in my home or in my client’s home, I take caring for pets very seriously. I make sure to provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s individual routine. I think it is important to maintain the pet’s routine to ensure the pet gets enough exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and proper administration of medication. I also respect client’s homes and always leave them clean and secure.

“She is wonderful! Although we asked her to come on a specific time, something came up and we asked her to get there sooner. Not only she was responsive, but also she accepted and went to check up on our cats. We really appreciate that. She fed the boys, cleaned their litter boxes, played with them, etc. I am 100% sure that our cats had a great time with her as it takes some time for our cats to trust someone else and start playing which they did with her pretty fast. She is an expert and she knows how to be around cats. I will recommend her to other pet owners, and I would ask her again to take care of our cats if she accepts. I should also mention that she took some beautiful photos of our boys and left us a lovely note.”

“Cindy was a great communicator. Loved getting our updates on Betty. She even called to confirm a few things mid week. Would definitely recommend to anyone.”

“Anick is my favourite cat sitter, but this time went above and beyond. There was a mix-up with keys, the auto feeder, the auto litter box, everything that could go wrong did - and Anick handled it all. I always have the utmost trust she will put my kitties' safety and well-being first, even over Christmas. Thank you so much Anick, from all of us!!!”

Zoey J.

“Umber is amazingly patient with our reactive nervous girly! She’s patient and calm, and knows the most important ways to deal with reactive dogs like letting them come to you, not making eye contact until they’re ready, etc. By the end of the visit, Hannah was cuddled up on the couch with her. We are so incredibly grateful we found her.”

About: I love dogs so much that I earned my diploma in Canine Behavior! Every step of the way, I use my science-based background to help ensure your dog has a positive experience. I’m a very patient person and work especially well with shy or timid dogs that need a gentle presence and a little extra time to learn to trust someone new. I love a morning and midday time slot as it allows me to work part time with my other commitments! I may have weeks with more or less availability so message me and we can figure out a schedule that works for both of us! Because of my background in Canine Behavior, I use positive reinforcement techniques when caring for pets in both my home and clients’ homes. I take a proactive approach to behavior by paying attention to what may be causing stress, excitement, or unwanted behaviors so I can help set pets up for success. I tailor my care to each individual animal. Whether that means offering snuggles and reassurance, using treats and rewards, or encouraging polite behaviors in gentle, consistent ways. For example, if a dog jumps up, I wait until they’re calmly seated before greeting them so I can reinforce calm behavior in the future.
