About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have been trusted to care for dogs (and cats) for about six years. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs and make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for! I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time during my days off to take care of your pets! I can also possibly be flexible about different days of the week, so let me know! I will follow your routines and requests, and pay close attention to each dog’s needs and behaviour. I’m communicative and make sure every walk or visit is fun and secure.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have never gone without having one by my side, so looking after them feels completely natural to me. While I was away at university, I even fostered a couple of dogs because I missed having that companionship so much it was incredibly rewarding to give them love and stability while they waited for their forever homes. I’m comfortable with a range of needs, from energetic puppies who benefit from consistent routines and basic training, to senior dogs who need a gentler, more attentive approach. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I build with every dog I care for as I treat them like my own. Recently, I lost my two dogs, and while I’m not quite ready to bring a new puppy into my home, caring for others’ pets feels like the perfect way to keep sharing that love, attention, and companionship that dogs deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make it a priority in my day. I’m currently working part-time with a chiropractic internship from Monday to Thursday, which still leaves me with plenty of time and energy to give your dog the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m available on weekdays after 4pm as well as on weekends, making it easy for me to accommodate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or overnight care. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to making sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. At my place, I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and supervised play. There is also one friendly 2-year-old Havanese (my parents’ dog), so I’m mindful of introductions and always make sure all dogs feel comfortable and safe. I can easily crate your dog if that’s part of their routine, or they’re welcome to have free roam of the house if preferred. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible to keep things consistent and stress-free. My goal is always to create a trustworthy, secure environment where your pet feels relaxed, cared for, and right at home.

About: I’ve had a dog for 9 years, I trained her and I house sit with her every summer. I’m very good with dogs I love to play with them and bring them on exciting walks I’m currently in school online which has no schedule so I have lots of free time to play with pups and bring them on long walks I will care for the pet based on the clients home, I love the outdoors so if there is no fenced in yard I’m more than happy to go on multiple walks long or short
About: Come stay with the Aussie twins in a large 2500 sq foot home centrally located downtown. With over 7000sq of fenced in outdoor space, your pup will sure be tired after his/her stay. I have had a dog since I was 10 years old, all of which being Australian shepherds, so I know how to handle to smart energetic breeds quite well. Both of my dogs that I currently have, have been through obedience training, and one of them is working on agility. I have also done tracking, and herding with my dogs. I have dog sat, many different breeds before and I have never had any issues. So send your pup my way and they will have the best time! Lots of walks can be provided and off leash dog park visits too!
About: I have a genuine love for animals and take great pride in caring for them. I am experienced in looking after dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs that need extra patience and attention. I also enjoy caring for cats and birds, including baby birds that require gentle handling and special care. I am responsible, compassionate, and dedicated to ensuring every animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care is a regular part of my routine. Every day, I make time for feeding, cleaning, exercise, playtime, and ensuring pets are comfortable, healthy, and receiving the attention they need. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and keeping living areas clean. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
“Gabriella saved my day! I needed a last minute walk done and she accepted. Gunner was very happy and content when I got home and Gabrielle was wonderful, sending pictures and great communication.”
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, snakes, turtles, fish, rabbits, hamsters, and everything in between! There is no pet that I wont adore. I believe life should treat people how they treat animals, because they are the most pure and deserving beings of unconditional love. I’d be honoured to take care of your fur baby like they’re my own. I’m currently working part-time and have plenty of flexibility to take care of pets with a variety of needs. I’d be happy to work on a schedule that works for both the pet owner and myself to best care for the animal. I’d be happy to come to your home where your pet is most comfortable and keep their routine the same as you would. I want the utmost comfort for animals who are missing their owners, making it a happy experience while their parents are away!
“Emily is great- she’s responsive, follows instructions and my reactive pup has managed to get accustomed to her after a couple of sittings. I will be continuing to use Emily and would definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve raised three dogs and two cats, so I’m basically fluent in barks, meows, and side-eye. Whether your pet’s a cuddle bug or a drama queen, they’ll get plenty of love, play, and snacks (if allowed, of course). I'm currently a full-time student without a job, so my schedule is really flexible. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine since I have plenty of free time to give your pets the attention, walks, and cuddles they need I only offer pet sitting at the client’s home because I believe pets are happiest in their own space. I stick to their normal routines, provide lots of love, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: I currently work at a professional pet hotel, daycare, and boarding facility, where I care for dogs and cats with a wide variety of personalities, needs, and energy levels. I have experience safely handling dogs of all sizes, from tiny pups to extra-large breeds which can range from <5lb to 140lb, and regularly supervise groups of 10–15 dogs at a time. My responsibilities include maintaining a safe and controlled environment, monitoring interactions, recognizing changes in behaviour, and ensuring each dog receives an appropriate balance of exercise, enrichment, play, rest, and affection. I understand that successful pet care is not only about keeping animals active and it is also about helping them feel calm, comfortable, and secure. Through my work, I have cared for puppies, senior pets, blind dogs, nervous or sensitive animals, and pets with health concerns that require additional patience and careful handling. Every animal is different, so I adapt my approach to their individual personality, routine, physical abilities, and comfort level while closely following the instructions provided by their family. I am also a pet parent to a dog and a cat, a Miniature Schnauzer puppy, and a wonderfully sweet boy cat. Caring for my own animals has given me firsthand experience with puppy energy, senior-pet needs, multi-pet households, and plenty of unique personalities. I will treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own! As a recent university graduate working part-time at a pet hotel facility, I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I can accommodate weekdays, weekends, daytime visits, and overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. Caring for animals is already a natural part of my daily routine, and I am happy to work around each pet’s established feeding, walking, play, and rest schedule. I care for every pet according to their individual personality, routine, comfort level, and family’s instructions. I prioritize safety by closely supervising pets, monitoring their body language, securing doors and gates, and making sure dogs are properly leashed before leaving the home. During visits, I provide an appropriate balance of exercise, enrichment, affection, and calm time without forcing interaction. I am experienced with pets of different sizes, ages, temperaments, and physical needs, and I understand when an animal needs additional patience or personal space. In a client’s home, I will treat both the pet and the property with care and respect. I will maintain your pet’s normal routine, keep their environment clean and secure, and provide dependable updates and photos so you can feel confident that they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Okotoks
Carla was absolutely wonderful with our 9 week-old Bernese Mountain pup! Working from home has been a challenge - trying to work efficiently and finding the time for play, potty breaks and naps. Carla was very accommodating and was able to spend a few hours with our pup in the comfort of our own home. Our pup loved her and we will certainly use her services again!
