About: I grew up on a farm and have extensive experience with all kinds of animal. Dogs and cats alike. I currently work at a animal boarding facility.i also hold a current and up to date animal first aid certification I work mainly nights but have no issue coming to check on pets before and after my shifts. Will be available at any time other that 2-11. I work in a force free boarding facility and I carry that into my own home. I own a Red heeler. So I understand high anxiety or pups who may need extra attention.

About: I've grown up around animals my entire life and am Pet CPR trained. I'm also the person who stops strangers to ask if I can pet their dog, and my friends are convinced I'll end up as a cat lady with 10 dogs someday. Beyond loving animals, I'm reliable, attentive, comfortable administering medications, and committed to keeping pets safe, happy, and on their normal routine. Safe to say your pet will get plenty of love, attention, photo updates, and their vacation with me might just be better than your vacation!! I’m currently working part time over the summer as a nursing student. I’m very detail oriented, attentive, reliable, and genuinely thoughtful when it comes to animal care. As someone pursuing nursing, I've developed strong attention to detail, responsibility, and a caring approach that carries over into pet care. I'm attentive, reliable, comfortable administering medications, and committed to following routines and instructions to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m Pet CPR trained, and have had many pets with different personalities and needs. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and stress free. I provide plenty of supervision, exercise, affection, and regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I believe in treating every pet as if they were my own and creating a safe, loving environment. I currently have a cat, named pumpkin and I have a dog named Mazie who suffers with severe anxiety. Although it’s a challenge, my dog Mazie has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and animal behavior. Through training classes and working with her specific needs, I’ve gained experience supporting pets who need extra care.

About: Hi my name is Mackenzie! Although my experience is limited when it comes to professional pet care, I myself had the privilege of having and taking care of our family dog; Gizmo, for over fourteen years. I understand the importance of keeping a dog happy and healthy and will treat your animal in the best way possible. As a responsible young woman who loves animals, I work hard and strive in any position thrown at me. Performing at the best of my abilities, I will protect and take care of your animal and your home with the utmost respect and diligence. I hope I have the opportunity to work with you and become welcome in your dog's heart and your own. Thank you and looking forward to working with you! I am currently on leave as an Assistant Director in the Film Industry and have lots of flexibility with week days and nights and weekends! Respect and trust are the pillars to any successful working environment. I promise to respect the pet and the owner and the environment in which they live and trust that they will do the same as we work together. Hoping that the trust runs through me as well as the owner leaving their animal in my care and understand that I am responsible, hard working and loving.

That’s why I’m here—to provide personalized care and peace of mind for both you and your pets. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cozy cuddles, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I offer flexible services, regular updates, and plenty of love to make sure your pup feels happy, safe, and cared for. Let’s connect and give your dog the care they deserve! Working from home with a flexible schedule allows me to dedicate time and attention to caring for pets throughout the day. I can easily adjust my hours to meet the needs of each pet, whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or just providing companionship. Since I’m home most of the time, I’m able to ensure that pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping to their usual routines. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and it fits seamlessly into my daily life, giving me the chance to provide the love and attention they deserve. In my home, I create a safe, welcoming, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel comfortable and cared for. I ensure they have plenty of playtime, regular walks, fresh water, and a cozy space to rest. I’m attentive to their specific needs, from sticking to feeding schedules to providing belly rubs and snuggles (if they’re into that!). When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow any instructions to maintain the pet’s normal routine. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and ensuring the pet feels at ease in their familiar environment. Whether it’s keeping up with walks, administering medication, or simply giving them love and attention, I’m committed to meeting their needs wherever they are

“Was a pleasure meeting Pam and having her care for our dogs was the best decision. They were so comfortable with her right away. She took wonderful care of them and our home. My dogs have a new best friend. Not sure if they even minded we were gone. We will definitely choose Pam to care for our fur babies in the future without hesitation.”

About: I have alot of love and affection to give to animals. I love to look after pets because it allows me to care for and love the pets while their owners are away. I have a large fenced yard where the animals can play and get their exercise in a secure area. I love to walk so walking dogs gives me the opportunity to get some exercise as well as make them happy. We had a beautiful husky of our own, but my oldest daughter took her when she moved out because her boyfriend had a dog, and I miss having animals in the house. I have fostered rescue dogs for 2 years now, and I have many references available from people that I have cared for their fur babies (both cats and dogs). I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am available for daily drop in visits, weekly visits or longer stays. I also provide daily dog walking. I have no pets of my own in the house I have a big backyard where the pups can run around, and also close to dog parks and lots of walking trails. I have crates if your pet likes the comfort of a crate, and lots of toys. I have a large basement for cats if they like their own space

“Jasmine was great with my two dogs!!! She attended to Clovers emotional needs, while managing Rudys behavioral needs as a young dog. She provided me pictures and updates which made me feel more secure in leaving the two of them at home while I had a work trip.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from small puppies to large, energetic dogs. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, basic training, and providing calm, attentive care. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, so I always adjust my approach to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s an active walk, playtime, or simply companionship, your pet will be treated like family. You can count on me to be reliable, patient, and fully focused on your dog’s well-being at all times. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent and reliable care for your pets. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I can easily adjust my timing based on your pet’s routine, whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. All of my own pets were adopted. Rescue animals hold a special place in my heart and helped build the foundation of my experience working with animals that have a wide range of temperaments, backgrounds, and needs. I’m often the person friends and family rely on when they need a trustworthy pet sitter, and I currently provide multiple dog walks daily for repeat clients. These households include small, medium, and large breeds, some with multiple dogs in the home. I focus on caring for one pet household at a time, which allows me to give each pet consistent attention and maintain their normal routine. I regularly care for dogs with very different personalities and energy levels—from playful puppies to calm seniors. I also have experience supporting dogs recovering from injuries, caring for pets that require medication, and working with anxious or reactive dogs. Animals tend to respond well to my calm, patient energy. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior, which helps me respond appropriately if a dog is unsure, stressed, or needs reassurance. My goal is always to maintain each pet’s normal routine and provide calm, consistent care so they feel safe and comfortable. I communicate clearly with owners, send regular updates and photos, and treat every pet and home with respect. Reliability is extremely important to me. Before the first booking, I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs so their day, walks, and care stay as normal and predictable as possible. Please request a meet-and-greet before new bookings to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. While dogs are my primary focus, I’m also happy to care for cats and make sure they receive the same attentive and reliable care. I’m available seven days a week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, making it easy to fit care around your schedule. My flexibility allows me to respond to your pet’s needs whenever they arise. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I communicate clearly with owners and treat every pet and home as if it were my own. I always share updates and photos so owners can see their pets are doing well and happy. I focus on caring for one pet household at a time, which allows me to give each pet consistent attention while maintaining their normal routine so they are comfortable. I take the time to understand each pet’s temperament, preferences, special needs, triggers and routine so they feel safe. During walks and visits, I stay attentive to their behavior and the environment, making sure they’re stress-free. In clients’ homes, I follow instructions carefully, respect routines, and maintain a calm atmosphere. If boarding a small or medium dog in my apartment, I am patient and maintain a calm environment with focus on supervision, routine, and structured walks. Please request a meet and greet prior to booking, to ensure you and your pets are comfortable and it’s a good fit for everyone.

“Lyra was, without a doubt, the most skilled, patient and friendly dog sitter (and trainer!!!) we have EVER had. Our dogs adored her, and she went above and beyond to train our new rescue dog, working on his fears, barking and leash pulling. I didn’t worry once about either dog, we were updated frequently with pics and training progress, and we came home to HAPPY, brushed dogs and a spotlessly clean house. I can’t recommend Lyra enough!!! Amazing.”

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 volunteer at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Hospital on Friday/Saturdays until 5pm. 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.

“This was our first time leaving our two dogs with a petsitter, so we were a little apprehensive, but our experience with Sara P. was amazing! She provided us with regular updates and photographs during our week away. We returned home to happy and well-cared for pups, watered plants, and a clean home. We will definitely be using her petsititing services again.”

About: Hello! My name is Alex and I would love to look after your pup! I have two dogs and a cat. Roscoe is 10, Coach is 3 and Jojo my cat is 3. All of them are friendly and we ensure that all animals are safe. I work from home full time so I am able to always be around to monitor your pup! Roscoe is very easy going with a great temperament that gets along with all different breeds of dogs. Coach is a typical lab--loves to run and is high energy. He loves to play with other pups so hopefully your dog is okay with that! We live in a house with a fenced backyard! Plenty of room for your pup to run around :) I have had a dog in my life since I was 15 years old, and I am very versed with all different breeds and temperaments. I believe in providing a warm, loving household that makes a dog feel at ease! I promise to treat your dog with the same love and respect as I treat my own :) I currently work from home, so I am home all of the time. I usually take the dogs out to the backyard multiple times a day, especially if it's gorgeous out, to throw the ball with them or bask in the sun. Jojo, my cat, has a catio, so she's often watching everyone outside, too! I live with my partner and our two dogs and cat. My partner also loves pets so he also is here to administer pets and food! We just love all animals so we will treat your dog the way we treat our own!

About: I’ve grown up with and cared for mostly medium to large dogs, with energy levels ranging from calm, easygoing pups to high-energy walkers. I’m confident handling stronger dogs and tailoring walks to their needs—whether that’s a relaxed pace or burning off some zoomies. I’m attentive, patient, and prioritize safety, while also bringing lots of playfulness and “fun aunt” energy to every visit. I work full-time Monday to Friday, but I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting in the evenings, with flexible availability on weekends. I’m intentional about the time I spend with each pet, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and consistency in their routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. Living in an apartment means all outdoor time is supervised, with regular walks and structured routines tailored to your dog’s energy level. I’m confident handling medium to large dogs and always focus on safe, attentive walks. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things consistent and stress-free. You can expect regular updates, lots of attention, and a calm, reliable presence.

About: Animals have been at the centre of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and cats, and I’ve shared my home with beloved cats for most of my adult life. Over the years I’ve also co-habited with small and medium dogs, cared for senior pets, and supported many animals through the last gentle stages of their lives. My professional background is in environmental science (35 years), a path I chose out of love and devotion to animals, wildlife, and the natural world. Outside of work, I spent years volunteering with animals — from supporting elephants and reptiles at the Valley Zoo to caring for over 70 elephants at an orphanage in Sri Lanka. I even trained one elephant, Devi, to paint using positive reinforcement. I’ve also cared for small exotic pets, including ball pythons and a garter snake. Today, I bring all of that experience into calm, compassionate, reliable pet care for dogs, cats, and small animals. I’m gentle, observant, patient, and very attuned to the emotional needs of animals — especially seniors or those who are shy, anxious, or needing extra support. Skills & Care Abilities: Administering medications with confidence: pills, injections, liquid meds via syringe, and puffers for dogs and cats Handling senior or special-needs pets with patience and gentleness Cat nail trims Dog bathing and brushing; cat brushing (hairless cat bathing and grooming) Experience with freshwater and saltwater aquariums Comfortable with reptiles and other small animals Master Gardener/Composter certified (City of Edmonton) — happy to care for plants, yards, and gardens as well Calm, confident, experienced around all animal personalities Clear communication and daily updates I’m recently retired, which allows me to offer steady, unhurried, fully present care for the animals I look after. When I’m not volunteering in Asia or Costa Rica, I work quietly from home doing computer-based volunteer work — which means your pet will have company, consistency, and a peaceful environment throughout the day. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to take dogs out for frequent walks, playtime, and pee breaks, tailored to their age and energy level. I’m equally happy to spend long, calm stretches with small dogs or cats curled up on my lap. I genuinely enjoy the simple companionship of animals, whether that means gentle snuggles, quiet presence, or attentive support for senior pets needing extra patience. My home routine is calm, predictable, and nurturing — ideal for pets who thrive with kindness, attentiveness, and a steady rhythm. Because I specialise in caring for cats and small dogs in their own familiar environment, my focus is always on creating a safe, calm, and reassuring experience for your pet while you’re away. In Your Home (House Sitting & In-Home Care) Your pet’s comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely — feeding times, walks, medications, bedtime rituals, favourite toys, and comfort preferences. I maintain a quiet, predictable environment, and I am attentive to small changes in behaviour, appetite, or energy level. I double-check doors, gates, and windows to prevent escapes I ensure safe handling during comings and goings I keep a tidy, hazard-free space I send regular updates with photos so you always feel connected I provide lots of gentle companionship, cuddles, lap time, and enrichment Cats and small dogs often bond quickly with me due to my calm presence and decades of experience. Drop-In Visits For drop-ins, I offer flexible, attentive care — feeding, litter cleaning, short walks, medication administration, brushing, playtime, or simply quiet company if your pet prefers. I take care to observe how your pet is feeling each visit and adjust my approach accordingly. Overall Approach With lifelong experience with animals — including senior pets, pets needing medication, and shy or anxious animals — I bring patience, reliability, and a gentle, steady energy. My background in environmental science and animal care has taught me to be observant, respectful, and attentive to detail. Your home and your pet are treated with the utmost care, respect, and kindness.
