About: Hi! I’m Brooklynn, I’ve been helping to take care of animals my whole life. I have experience in pet and house sitting. I also have experience working in an animal shelter. I will make sure that your pet(s) needs are fulfilled and make sure that they are happy and loved. I can handle dogs with high energy and make sure that they get the exercise then need to feel good. I’m a huge supporter of communication, after all I will be taking care of your fantastic pet. I will update you with how they are doing and will listen for advice to give them the best time ever! I am reliable, responsible and resourceful, and I cannot wait to make a new fur friend. I work week days however the days and times fluctuate. During the week I have open availability after 6 pm. Weekends I have open availability. For overnight care I make sure to leave the home how the owners left it. I make sure that the animals have been fed and let outside before my day is done.
“Hannah was very responsive and attentive during the sitting service. Hannah followed a lot of instructions well. Grooming my two medium-hairs daily was very important and I appreciated Hannah's willingness to take the time to do it. Hannah will spend the time needed to properly care for your animals and I would happily hire this sitter again.”
“Alyssa is great, she is super reliable. She genuinely cares for my cat and I feel better knowing she is giving her love when I can’t be there! Also she handles giving meds to my cat with no issue!”
About: I've shared my home with my 9-year-old Beagle since she was just a puppy, so I know firsthand that dogs aren't always perfect—and that's okay! If you know Beagles, you know exactly what I mean. 😂 I understand that every dog has their own personality, quirks, and routine. Whether your pup is energetic, stubborn, cuddly, or a little mischievous, they'll be welcomed with patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you're away. Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine. My own Beagle has been with me since she was a puppy, so I'm used to providing regular walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and lots of attention every day. I work around my pets' needs and make sure they have a consistent routine, plenty of exercise, and a safe, comfortable environment. When caring for your dog, I'll treat them like one of my own and make sure they receive the same level of love, patience, and care. Every pet is unique, so I always take the time to follow each owner's routine and preferences. For boarding in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I stick to their normal feeding schedule, make sure they always have fresh water, and give them lots of opportunities for potty breaks and rest. For drop-in visits, I make sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, gets potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and companionship. I'm also happy to administer medications if needed and can bring in mail, water plants, or adjust lights while you're away. For dog walks, I focus on safe, enjoyable walks at your dog's pace, with plenty of time for exercise, sniffing, and bathroom breaks. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for, while giving owners peace of mind through reliable, loving care.
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’ve grown up with many different animals and I’ve always had a soft spot for pets! I currently take care of my grumpy senior cat and my very energetic puppy and I’m looking forward to meeting your fur babies too I currently work a steady rotating schedule which leaves me with a lot of free days for walks and visits during the week and on busy weekdays! I’m able to give your pup lots of exercise through long walks, runs, and lots of play time to stimulate their minds and burn off their energy. I’ll leave your pup tired at the end of each visit
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.
“Samara was fantastic! She followed every instruction I left, kept me updated with photos, and was easy to communicate with. Aurora and Jasper warmed up to her right away and she was attentive and caring with both of them. I felt totally at ease the whole time and will definitely book with her again. Highly recommend”
About: I am not only an animal lover but also a highly reliable and experienced caregiver. With a deep understanding of pet behavior, I provide tailored care to ensure that each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s through engaging walks, personalized playtime, or simply providing companionship. I have experience of over 10+ years raising and taking care of pets of all kinds. I have trained puppies born from our litters and watched them grow until we had to part our ways. I am able to give any medications needed for seniors! I was born and raised on the farm, these pets included over 9 different dogs from big to small, well over 5 different cats, horses, and cows, we even owned a lizard at one point. have moved away from home so I’m very much missing the company of my family dogs, hoping to make some new animal friends. My goal is to create an stress-free, enjoyable experience for both you and your pet, making me the trusted choice for your furry family members. Currently I’m working part time with children, I take them to school and I pick them up from school, so I'm available Monday-Thursday from 8:30am-2:30pm. And Fridays 8:30am-1:00pm. Weekends I’m willing to negotiate times! I create a secure, pet-friendly environment . I follow strict protocols for walks, ensuring that pets are always on a leash or in a secure area. I also maintain a clean and safe space indoors, and actively play with your pet to keep them entertained. If your family uses crates in your home, I ensure the crate is placed in a quiet, safe area where your pet can relax without feeling stressed. I never leave pets in crates for long periods and always make sure they have regular breaks for exercise, bathroom trips, and playtime.
“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: 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!
About: With my law enforcement background, I can surely say I have great experience with security and giving safety not only to people, but also to animals! And as an avid outdoorsy person, I love to do walks outside and be one with nature. I also have experience in training dog with tricks! Being in law enforcement has given taught me patience and confidence. I currently have a 7 to 3pm job Mondays to Fridays. So from 4pm onwards I am free. Saturday and Sunday I am free whole day. As a experienced security agent, I have very keen observation skills. Once I notice something amiss I would do my best to keep everyone, and pets safe. For dog sitting, specifically little dogs I do my best to be near them when walking at parks for easy access.
“Alycia went above and beyond taking care of our kitties while we were away. She clearly loves the animals a great and has their best interests in mind. We were very impressed, would definitely recommend her and hope to work with her again.”
“Charleigh was very accommodating for a last minute request. She arrived on time, stayed with the dogs to give them some attention, took them for walks, and sent pictures along the way. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and I will definitely use her next time.”
“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.”
“We are very pleased with Karla and how she took care of our three cats. She provided photos and videos daily and kept us updated on how they were doing. She didn't have to but she also tidied up the floors before we returned as well as put our compost bin to the side out of our driveway. She was very adoring with our li'l kitties, we will definitely be contacting Karla for any future cat sitting needs.”
About: Throughout the years I have fostered and had family pets. I have cared for older and younger dogs and currently have of my own Blue Heeler Zeus 6/yr. Zeus is a seizure response service dog. When I care for other dogs they are given proper exercise and play time. Your dog will get treated and cared for as if it were my own, making sure they're always comfortable. As a pet sitter, dog boarder, and doggy daycare provider, I understand that leaving your dog with someone else can feel stressful. They’re not “just a dog” — they’re family. ❤️ That’s why I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your pup can feel right at home. Whether they’re here for a few hours of daycare, a full day of play, or an overnight stay, they’ll receive plenty of attention, care, affection, and supervision. 🐶 What your pup can look forward to: ✨ Lots of love and attention 🐾 Safe play and exercise 🛏️ Comfortable downtime and rest ❤️ Individual attention based on their personality and needs 🎾 Playtime and enrichment 📸 Updates so you can relax knowing they're doing well 🏡 A home-style environment rather than feeling like they're simply being “left somewhere” Every dog has their own personality, routine, quirks, and comfort level — and I believe those things matter. My goal is for your pup to leave happy, tired, and already looking forward to their next visit! 🐕💕 Because peace of mind for you means a happy pup while you're away. 🐾

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.
