“Carmen was absolutely great! She came to meet with us before, and the cats took an instant liking to her. We went away for 4 days and came home to very happy, well-fed cats. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone else needing to go away for a while!”

This was our first ever pet sitter and such a postive experience. Booking was easy. Chanda was very professional and puntual. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”


About: Before I moved out to alberta I dog sat lots of family's pets in my local home town. Which included walking feeding and medication if needed. My twins are in daycare Monday to Friday so I have a ton of spare time during those hours. Currently don't work so alot of my time is available. Dog Boarding: In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I stick to their regular feeding and potty schedule, provide plenty of playtime, walks, and quiet time as needed. I always monitor pet interactions to ensure they get along and have designated spaces for rest. Owners receive daily updates and photos for peace of mind. Drop-In Visits: When caring for pets in your own home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. I ensure they’re fed on time, walked or let outside as needed, administer medications if required, and give them attention and affection. I will provide regular updates with photos Dog Walking: For dog walking services, I always ensure dogs are walked safely using a secure harness or collar. I follow any specific instructions, such as avoiding certain streets, or keeping walks short due to age or health. I bring water if needed and provide a full report card with notes and pictures after every walk.

“My usual arrangement fell through less than a week before the August long weekend. I've never used Rover before, but gave it a go. Not only was Aleithia available, she came for a meet and greet before we left. I loved the pictured daily updates (in which she was always having cuddle time with Charlie). When we got home, it was exactly as we left it. Couldn't be more pleased.”
