Dog Sitting Maple

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 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: An animal lover through and through, I grew up around animals from a very young age; owning my own dogs as well as spending every summer of my youth at my godmothers’ farm rounding up cows, turkeys, chickens and yes, farm dogs and cats too. Professionally I’ve been employed as a groomer and a doggy daycare attendant so im well versed in handling dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. With me as your second in care, I can promise your domesticated babies will be well loved and taken care of! After putting my safety before the needs of a corporation that employed me for four years, I’ve found myself with plenty of free time on my hands. If you need someone to keep your pets company, you should reach out! I’ve always made a point to get out and move my body everyday which helps me be prepared to take your pups along for the journey! Overnight house sitting will always come with lots of attention and outdoor time on my part. Dog needs a more relaxing time? Absolutely not a problem. I harbour a natural balance between active and lazy, having no issue with chillin and watching some tv. You can count on me to pay attention and take action if any type of emergency were to arise. Integrity is as important to me as your pets’ safety is to you!

About: I have grown up with dogs since I was young. I have had dogs of all sizes, and currently have 2 large breed dogs of my own. I have experience walking reactive dogs (please contact about reactivity so we can discuss management :) ). I am off of work for the summer, so am flexible for pet care during the week! I am busy during evenings, so afternoon is best. I have a force free philosophy to dog care. If entering your home, you can be assured that I will keep your dog comfortable, and will not put your dog in a position that they do not want to be in.

“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 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.

“Lisa is a great cat setter! I had her twice. She’s really kind and sweet, care for my cats, play with them, keep in touch with me and send pictures constantly. I would definitely re book her again when i need a caring, soft hearted cat setter!”

About: I walk daily and will offer your dog lots of outdoor walks - on or off leash. They will get lots of love and snuggles too. I have been caring for animals all my life but have focused mostly on dogs the past 25 years. I have spent years with street dogs in Mexico and doing spay and neuter clinics. I have 2 of my own dogs that came from Mexico and have found homes for many more. I have a strong passion and love for dogs and can guarantee your dog will receive lots of love and care while with me. Currently I am working part time casual for the school board so have all day with your dog unless I get called in. I go for a minimum of an hour walk usually in the river valley once a day and then a couple leash walks in the neighbourhood morning and evening. I have 2 very friendly dogs - one is a senior 9 years old and the other is 3 years old which can keep your dog company. I don’t crate my dogs but can offer that if you wish. I will offer your dog a home away from home.

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’ve always loved animals and have plenty of experience caring for cats and dogs. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I’m currently growing my clientele, so my rates may be flexible depending on your pet’s needs and the length of the booking. Feel free to reach out and ill be happy to discuss what works best. I’m free most of the time. Do I’ll be happy to work with you and do my best to fit your pet care needs into my daily routine. I make sure every pet’s individual needs and routine are accommodated so both the pet and their owner are happy and comfortable. I carefully follow any instructions provided and make sure pets receive the attention, care, and affection they need.

About: My love for dogs know no bounds and I have always experienced their love since I was young. I am really good at making friends with even difficult dogs and I know very well how to take care of them. I can play with them, give them love, take them out for walks and do everything needed for their comfort. I currently have plenty of time as I am a freelance Interpreter/Translator and writer. 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.

“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: 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. 🐾

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, from energetic puppies full of curiosity to gentle senior dogs who just need a little extra love. Growing up surrounded by animals taught me early on how to care for them with patience, attention, and understanding. Along with dogs, I had a couple of cats growing up too, so I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds and personalities. Having an older dog myself has given me plenty of experience with senior care. I know how to move at their pace, recognize their needs, and make sure they always feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet as if they’re my own and make sure they feel loved, secure, and happy while you’re away. ❤️ Caring for animals is part of my everyday routine. I currently have two dogs of my own, so my days naturally revolve around feeding, walking, playing, and making sure everyone feels loved and cared for. Because I already structure my mornings and evenings around my dogs’ schedules, it’s easy for me to fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight care for other pets too. Pet care isn’t just something I do, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new friends! Pets in my care get plenty of supervised playtime, outdoor exercise, and affection. I can easily crate your dog if needed and always prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care as my own. I follow your pet’s usual schedule, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for.

“Kirsten took great care of Arlo for numerous drop ins/walks over the weekend. Very punctual and was easy to communicate with!”

“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.”

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!
