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: Hi, I am Morgan. I have been an animal person my entire life, and I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new. I also know the trust it takes to have someone in your home. My goal is always to make both you and your dog feel completely safe, comfortable, and supported. My four year old Labradoodle Chunk is my constant companion. He is friendly, social, calm inside the home, and gets along well with other dogs. He does come with me because he is attached to me, but he is easy, respectful, and adjusts well to new environments. The only thing to note is that he is not good with cats. I have a flexible schedule and a lot of time to dedicate to your dog. I drive and have an SUV, so walks, outings, and dog park visits are a normal part of our day. I usually take Chunk out three to five times daily, and I will match whatever routine works best for your pet. I have experience with puppies, seniors, administering medication, following detailed routines, and supporting dogs with different personalities and needs. I know how important consistency is, and I am committed to keeping your dog’s environment calm, familiar, and stress free. Respect for your home is very important to me. I am extremely clean and organized, and I will treat your space with the same care and attention I give my own. You will receive regular updates, photos, and videos so you always feel connected and at ease. I have references and years of experience caring for animals. If you are looking for someone loving, reliable, and attentive, I would love to connect and see if we are a good fit for you and your dog. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because Chunk and I already go on multiple walks every day. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog consistent attention, exercise, and company throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your dog’s routine closely to keep things familiar and stress free. I am extremely clean and respectful in any home I stay in, and I always make sure your dog feels calm, secure, and cared for the entire time you are away.

About: I have had many personal experiences with pups over 10 years not in a daycare. But sitting on occasion but it’s my passion to work with them I’m calm and gentle and respect the animals they have feelings too I’m currently not working otherwise but may get another part time job but as of now I have so much time for the pups and always will make the time. I can work variety of shifts including weekends. I’m going to be doing pet sitting in clients home so again staying calm respecting them and being gentle! Letting them out to use washroom maybe even walks

About: I’ve been around and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience with all sizes of dogs from Great Danes to Shih Tzus. I have experience with puppies as young as 6 weeks that need more attention, play time, and potty breaks. But also senior dogs as old as 18 that need more rest and calmer environments. I’m currently working part time but do expect to start my full time summer job soon. Feel free to ask me about my work schedule as my hours and days change weekly. I enjoy very early mornings and evenings. I enjoy morning walks and love being accompanied by others pets. My weekends are usually spent at home and are very slow paced. I like spending time outdoors and occasionally going to the dog park with my friends and their animals. I have a large, fenced off, grass backyard and built in baby gates around my home. My house is mostly carpet which I find more comfortable and safer for the senior dogs that come around.

“She is a wonderful sitter and knows exactly what she is doing. We are really happy that she took care of our cats. We will definitely recommend her.”

About: My name is Tanya and I'm 24 years old. I grew up with dogs so now that I'm at college without them it feels super lonely. I have experience with small and large dogs as I've raised a dachshund and a german shepherd since they were puppies. I can care for younger as well as senior dogs. please let me know of any special needs or any supplementary/dietary requirements that your dog has. I am currently going to school full time but I have full availability on the weekends as well as Tuesdays. I am also able to drop in and accommodate walks in the evenings all week. I do not prefer having your dogs off-leash outside since i am unsure if they would return to me. and that could raise some safety concerns. However, i am happy to accommodate that upon request, provided that you are confident in your pets recall.

“Cindy always watches our cat while we are away. She goes above and beyond, even watered our plants during the last heat wave. We highly recommend her!”

“Alysha was terrific! She communicated well and helped work out a few booking issues. She looked after our cat and dog and provided photo updates. Would be grateful to work with Alysha again!”

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: I’ve taken care of pets and have had many of my own ever since I was 3! I’ve always loved working with animals and giving them the best life possible. Through my years of hands-on experience, I’ve gained the knowledge and understanding of caring for different animals with a wide range of needs. You can be assured your furry family member will be offered lots of play time, affection and care, just like they are my own! I am currently work Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays from 8-4:30, but while I’m not at work I am always doing something with my dogs or cats! My favourite time of the day is when I get to take them for a walk, or simply play with toys in the yard. Seeing any animal happy and content is what brings me joy! I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own who love other animals! We also have a fenced yard. If your pet doesn’t like to socialize with others, I can ensure they are separated with no issues!

About: I have been around animals my whole life. In elementary school, I would be greeted by our farm cats as soon as I got home. After a quick pet or cuddle with each of them, I would refill their water and food bowls and sit with the bigger cuddlers for as long as I could. In secondary school, I trained our family puppy - from obedience to competing in agility competitions. I loved watching him learn new tricks and never forget the basics, even as a senior dog and with me living away from him. While in university, I kept animals in my life by volunteering at the local SPCA. I loved the bigger dogs, and my heart broke if I ever saw them afraid of other dogs or humans. Helping them through their rehabilitation was an honour. As an adult, I adopted an orange tabby, "Naranjito." Jito, as we call him, is celebrating 17 human years as of 2026. He sleeps a bit more, and needs an extra step to jump sometimes, but he's still strong enough to put his BIGGER 2-year-old spicy sister in her place when she attacks him in play. With only one cat, I craved helping more, and did some pet care for others in my 20s. This involved bird-sitting, and dog-walking. A friend asked me to take in her older cat when she had a family illness. "Sally The Cat" was the embodiment of love. She had diabetes, but would still purr through her blood tests and insulin injections. This made me more comfortable with taking care of more serious health issues. Our current family dog has epilepsy and allergies. His first seizure was a month after his adoption, and was pretty scary - for all of us. I quickly became the person in the family to stay with him through it, and comfort him back to his normal self afterwards. With him, I have become comfortable with giving pills, and asking for veterinary help when needed. I love all animals, but I get to spend my life caring for cats and dogs. I am working part-time, but I have some mornings, a couple evenings, and most weekends available to care for others' pets outside of my home. 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.

“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.”

We do not have our own kids or pets but we have had many years experience caring for other peoples pets (mostly dogs as we have cat allergies). We love to travel, read, garden, fly fish, camp and meet new people and pets. We have been many places, have stayed in many different types of accommodations and have cared for many types and numbers of dogs. We are capable of yard maintenance, errands, and general upkeep of properties. We are used to maintaining a home as we do own 2 properties in our city that we maage as rentla properties. So, we fully understand what a home owner is looking for for upkeep in terms of cleaning, yard maintenance, pet help, taking in mail, and respect for the property itself and neighbors in the area. We both work from home, running online businesses and so we are also available all day for the care and attention your pets deserve. We are very low key, quiet people. We are honest, reliable, and loyal. We make fast friends and look forward to meeting you and helping you with your house and pet sitting needs. Sincerely! When we are in the city we are available any time to help you out! We travel quite a lot and only need some advance notice to be available. We are full time travellers in our RV and so we would prefer to care and love your pets in your/their own home. Additionally, we find that your pets are also far more comfortable with all their familar walking routes, yard and environment.

“Kianna accommodated a very short notice request which was incredibly helpful for our family. She was punctual, friendly, receptive to instructions and sent updates of the visit. We will be using her service again to take care for our 3 dogs”

About: I have over 4 years of hands-on experience caring for my own cockapoo, a 30-pound, high-energy dog who taught me more than I expected. Early on, he pulled on the leash and got easily distracted around other dogs, so I worked through leash training and gradually introduced him to dog parks to build his confidence and social skills. I adapted his exercise routine over time, adding frisbee and fetch to match his energy level. Beyond my own dog, I stepped in for a family friend under emergency circumstances, which taught me how to stay calm under pressure, follow an unfamiliar routine carefully, and pick up on what a dog needs quickly. I confirmed the emergency vet location and sent photo updates within the first hour. During the summer I have full daytime availability. During the school year I am available on evenings and weekends. I typically respond to messages within 24 hours. The safety and comfort of every pet in my care is my first priority. In a client's home I follow all provided instructions carefully, double-check leashes, doors, and outdoor areas, confirm the nearest emergency vet, and send a photo update within the first hour so owners feel reassured from the start.

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: My entire childhood is filled with the presence of our pet companions. I've taken care of them like a family. I also do positive reinforcement when there's a chance. I currently work part-time and still seeking a job so I have lots of time to take care of your pets while you're gone or take them for a walk. I will not take my eyes off on them, especially when we are outside. I would rather get its attention by playing with them .
