Cat Sitting Maple

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 is absolutely amazing. We had a cross Canada family trip planned and our elderly cat got sick right before we were leaving. Had other family not flown across the country for this trip, we would have cancelled. I was so worried about leaving but Jasmine stepped in and was able to not only give the medication but was so good, our cats warmed up to her which has never happened. She kept in touch and sent updates the entire time. We came home to happy, healthy cats and a clean house. She deserves 10 stars. Jasmine is a literal life saver.”

“Alyssa is a wonderful and responsive sitter. She was flexible with the meet and greet time, paid attention to all my cat's known risks, followed instructions, and had no trouble giving him liquid oral meds. I appreciated her notes at the end of each visit detailing what she saw and did. Would book again!”

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: 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.

“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.

“Puff has a new BFF. Thadora was a delight to spend time with our cat, and indulged him every comfort sought. We had 100% peace of mind that all was well at home while we were away. Highly recommended.”

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.

“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.”

“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 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.

“Amber did a great job looking after my two cats, Gilbert & Rosie. She checked in with me daily and sent photos which was a nice extra touch. Will be booking with Amber again in the future!!”

“Colby is attentive, respectful, and amazingly kind to my cats. She went above and beyond by showing up early on the first day so I can debrief her one last time and leaving everything clean and spotless on the last day. She even folded my clean laundry! Colby is a really great pet sitter and I definitely highly recommend her to everyone.”

“Cassidy did a great job house sitting for us. Her knowledge and experience helped ease our concerns while away. She went above expected duties in cleaning up after some illness from one of our cats and administered meds as needed. She is punctual and communicative and follows directions well. We would look to have her house sit again at a future date.”

About: Hello my name is Jackie and I am a caring, responsible adult with a full-time job in healthcare. I work from Monday to Friday 830-430pm, off on weekends and holidays I have always had many pets growing up and I have yet to meet pets that haven’t loved me, and vice versa. My partner and I have two four month old kittens and therefore I cannot take pets into my home, I would love to come into your home and take care of your fur babies while you are away! I have experience pet and house sitting for multiple families the last 10 years and would be happy to give you some references upon request :) I always believe the easiest transition for your pet while you are away is to keep them in their own homes(familiar surroundings) and to keep up with their daily routines. Your dog will be busy with long walks, going to the park(if ok), play time and endless love and pets. Your cat will receive lots of treats and playtime if they like that kind of thing. I have experience watching pets of all ages and sizes , please contact me as I would love to touch base with you on how I can meet your pets needs I’m working full time, my hours are Monday to Friday 830-430pm, off on weekends and holidays! This consistent schedule allows for me to keep up with your pets daily routines and provide them with adequate socialization time as well. I currently have two kittens of my own with my partner, therefore it would be best for me to care for them in your home! As an added bonus, you will receive a house sitter! Your pets will feel comfortable and safe in their own environment and keeping up with their daily routines

“Kelly was very accommodating with a delayed flight we had coming home from our travels. Communication was great. We had pictures and video updates of our boy. Kelly was amazing and we definitely will be booking with her again in the future. Thanks Kelly! 🙂🐈”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I feel very comfortable with them both and I’ve helped friends and family care for both. Love them and enjoy being with them. I am currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to play and entertain your cats/dogs at a time and day that’s best for you and your pet. I unfortunately do not do house sitting at my home, but I am happy to come to your home and care for your fur babies there.
