About: I’ve shared my life with three incredible rescue dogs of all ages, each teaching me patience, resilience, and the joy of second chances. For the past four years, I’ve independently fostered dogs and cats, provided transportation, and coordinated vet care working through my own community and network to find them safe homes or connect them with rescues when needed. My experience includes caring for behavioral and traumatized dogs, helping them feel safe, understood, and loved. I also have hands-on experience with medication administration, ensuring pets get the care they need to stay healthy. Right now I’m taking a short break from working in the mental health and addiction field, so my schedule is pretty wide open. Most of my days revolve around raising our new puppy, getting in lots of walks, playtime, and training, plus fitting in some school upgrading. I provide pet care right in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their own space. I’ll follow their usual routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication—so things feel familiar and stress-free.
About: Hello, I've had plenty of experience working with all breeds of dogs i work at a doggy day care and mange 2 of there buildings! i enjoy dog sitting/ cat sitting because it still allows a dog/cat to be in the comfort of their own home where you know your pet is not only safe but well cared for. Pet care fits into my routine because its nice coming home after a long day and knowing i can go to someone's home and care for their animal and nothing makes a person happier then snuggles from their animal. I do my best to provide the pet a safe place where they can feel comfortable around me so they do not stress while their parents are away. I also like to maintain a very clean environment by cleaning the parents house while i am their so they don't have to come home and worry about having to clean up anything.
“Chanda did a great job checking in on our cats and being reliable/communicative. I feel really comfortable letting her continue to coax our shy kitty out to get some love while we are away next time!”

“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!”

About: With 11+ years of personal and professional pet care experience—and a lifetime of growing up around and loving animals—I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, giving them extra attention, making sure they feel secure while you're away, or slipping medication into their food, I care for every pet as if they were my own. With a flexible schedule, I can be there whenever your pet needs me. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m available to provide consistent, attentive care that fits their routine and keeps them happy while you're away.

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.

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.”

“Great to have someone take care of my dog when I’m gone to work; she appreciates it greatly and so do I! Katie always lets me know when she comes by and provides pictures, so works quite well for me. Thanks!”
