About: I’ve always loved animals, any and all kind and they’ve always loved me back too. I’d be good at watching any animal. I have 2 cats and will be good with cat sitting, although I also love dogs. I care for 2 of my own cats everyday but if you need a helping hand with yours I am available at short notice. Just let me know what your pet needs. They have a lot of stimulation from toys and scratch posts. They also love going on walks on their harnesses (they’re both leash trained) or in their backpacks.

Both of us are high active people so we will make sure they have a well spent days! Dogs and cats are required to be ok with other cats and a dog. We both are deaf and able to interact with animals with their body language as we are able to read them. We offer variety of services, please contact us with any questions or inquiries.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life since I was around 4. I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs, giving me lots of experience! I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life, I’ve taken care of their daily needs since I was 10 years old. I make sure to have my schedule fit with letting my dogs out and feeding my animals. I am the biggest animal lover, I will spend time with dogs and cats over humans most of the time. I always keep an eye on the animals I’m taking care of, and I will always follow their schedules and needs!

“Sophie very clearly has a love of animals, shown through her willingness to help us with our kitties who weren't quite getting along when she came for visits during the long weekend. She kept us updated throughout our time away, and made a point to make some recommendations for things for us to try to get them feeling comfortable around each other again. Sophie further made sure to reach out and arrange a meet-and-greet, working us in to her busy schedule despite our short notice. Thanks again!”

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 am currently a student at the U of A where I am studying Animal Health with the goal of becoming a veterinarian. 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. Whenever I pet/house sit at a clients home, I maintain and clean and organized environment. I prioritize cleaning up after not just the pets but myself included. I always follow rules and instructions for certain things as well in order to maintain a safe environment for everyone.

About: I'm a university student spending my summer doing what I love - 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.
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.
About: I am an educator that has gone to peoples homes to work with children. My favourite part is all of the different pets I get to see which they all love me. I work part time for the county doing customer service and tutor sometimes in the evenings. I can be gone from 6-8 hours on some days or home all day depending on my schedule. I love to spend all of my free time cuddling with pets or going on walks ❤️. I am a very clean individual and so I always like to make sure I leave it just as clean when I leave. Not only that but I always ensure that I give focus to animals, playing with them frequently, going on walks (if cats like it I do walks for them too!), and of course taking care of their needs.
About: Hello! My name is Ashlea, I just have Mac the cat with me during the day. I am working from home during the week and could use some company! Boarding and pet sitting at your house will be easy (as long as you have wifi!) and a break from the computer for a walk would be in the best interests of both me and your pup. I need a few more little paws keeping me awake during the day, and also awake at night! lol I am currently working from home full time so there is no restriction on how much time I can spend with your pets! I think I need them around more than they need me! I have a fenced yard, access to nice walking paths and safe areas to play and plenty of experience with dogs of all breeds and personality types!
About: My French Bulldog mix passed away 3 years ago at the old age of 13. Since then I've been wanting a new dog but with kids and life it's just not the right time for our family. Hoping to fill the void by caring for your pet! I would be honored if you trusted us with caring for a member of your family. Dogs who stay with me get walks through the beautiful University of Alberta farm. I would love to try and run with your dog as well if they would like that. I typically run 3-5 km once per week and my previous house guests seem to love the excersize. In the summer we often spend weekends at the family cabin and our furry friends always have an amazing time visiting. The cabin is 1 hour west of the city - a perfect dog retreat. All furry visitors are welcome and showered with attention. All family at the cabin are either previous or current dog owners including two that have been through service dog training. I do work full time but close to home. Our household, along with two boys one 15 and one 7 years old. Evenings are spent together enjoying the outdoors when we can. We'd love to have a dog come and enjoy our evening time together and helping us make sure we don't skip our evening walks. We would love your pet as if they were our own. Daily walks, love and attention. Pets would sleep with me or in the crate whatever you prefer. Can keep up with training as needed.
“Very happy with Thanh's care of my two kitties! Sent me updates and pictures everyday, definitely helped give me peace of mind that my kitties are doing well. Would definitely hire again for my next vacation!”

About: I was lucky enough to share 15 years with my dog Kaya, raising her from a 2-month-old pup until her final day. I personally trained her, including off-leash walking, and cared for her through every life stage - from the high energy puppy phase to her senior years. I've had dogs in my life since i was very young and I very much enjoy their company - whether its going for long walks or just hanging out at home. I am currently in the process of a career change and am in school full time, working part time and am looking to fill my time with something i love doing! Pet care fits easily into my lifestyle. I’ve recently stepped away from full-time work to focus on full time studies, which means I’m home and available much more often. Currently, I only work weekends on an alternating schedule of days and evenings, leaving me with plenty of open time during the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At my home, pets are welcome to relax with me in the living room or rest in my room if they prefer a quieter space. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I can make up for it with plenty of outdoor time. I live close to the river valley walking trails and nearby dog parks. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether that means structured walks, supervised play, or quiet downtime. I take precautions to ensure pets are never left unsupervised in unsafe situations, and I’m committed to keeping them on their regular feeding, exercise, and care routines. For clients who prefer care in their own home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely to make sure your pet feels secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. Building trust—both with pets and their people—is at the heart of how I provide care.
About: Hi! My name is Alina. I am a full time student at the University of Alberta. I plan on becoming an elementary school teacher! I love all animals, especially dogs! I have a dog of my own, so I am quite familiar with a walking schedule, feeding, bathing and overall caring for a dog. I have also been walking and pet-sitting neighbours’, friends’ and family’s dogs for quite some time now (in both the summer and the winter months). Additionally, I have worked with dogs of all sizes, strengths, and energy levels! I would love a chance to find a fixed / stable schedule to become a part-time dog walker! My schedule is quite flexible and open and I have my own vehicle, so timing and distance will not be an issue. I look forward to hearing from you! My courses are all currently online so I have lots of availability, especially during weekdays when pups may need a walk or a bathroom break! When arriving to a pup’s home to visit, or to take them for a walk, my goal is to create a safe and fun environment for myself and the dog! Whether that be through lots of walks, treats, or cuddles, the ultimate goal is to create a meaningful bond with the pup!
“Saoirse went above and beyond to care for my cat! He totally loves her already on her first time sitting for us - she will definitely be our go-to sitter going forward! She took great care of the furbaby and followed instructions perfectly, picked up after the messy kitty, sent lots of pics and detailed updates, and gave him lots of love ❤️”

“Charleigh was wonderful with daily visits for our two dogs and excellent to work with around our sometimes unpredictable schedule. Looking forward to having her again in the future!”


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. I make it a priority to walk and play with your pets so they always feel great! I'm also reliable when it comes to pets with special needs or who need to take medications.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Zoe. She did drop-in visits for our four cats over two weeks and truly went above and beyond in every way. Her communication was excellent—she provided detailed notes after each visit along with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Zoe also took amazing care of our home. She even shoveled when it snowed and brought in packages that arrived while we were gone, which was incredibly thoughtful. When we returned, the house smelled fresh and clean—not like litter at all—which says so much about the level of care she put in. We would absolutely recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter.”

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.

Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
