“Sully had the best week hanging out with Denise and Buddy! He especially loved the daily dog park visits and looked right at home in the picture/video updates I received. I felt confident that Sully was in great hands while I was away. I absolutely recommend Denise to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Wonderfully welcoming lady and gracious hostess to our dog for an overnight boarding. Our dog had her home and fenced yard to himself with no other pets in the house, with many walks to a nearby park. Darlene kept us well informed on how our boy was doing, and he was comfortable with her immediately. A great communicator and we feel so fortunate to have found this loving atmosphere in which to board our pet with. HIGHLY Recommend booking with Darlene and we look forward to doing so again!”
“Luka loved spending time at Sarah’s ! It was her first stay and stayed 3 nights. I was away travelling so it felt good to see photos of pup so happy. Definitely found a place to feel confident that our girl is in great hands. Thanks Sarah and family. Luka will come visit again soon.”
“Brooke was fantastic with Parker over the long weekend.She asked thoughtful questions before to ensure she understood all his routines and spoiled him with wonderful long walks. Parker came back home happy and well-cared for. Highly recommended!”

“Janelle took the time to get to know our dog and helped her feel comfortable and safe from the start. She was very attentive and kept us updated throughout the stay, sending photos and letting us know how our dog was doing. It gave us great peace of mind knowing that she was being so well cared for. Janelle kept us informed of every detail, and we truly appreciated her kindness and dedication. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of her!”
About: I have been a dog owner for over 20 years. I recently had to let my ole girl pass over the rainbow, such an heartbreaking decision to make. She was happy as the only dog if the house and I had a desire for more happy tails! So I decided to start walking dogs and doing pet visits so that I could fulfill my need for more waggy tails! I do work a local job that runs Monday -Friday, but am done by 3:15. I schedule my walks for 3:15 and after.I do get a 30 min lunch break that I can do washroom breaks for pets if needed. Walks are 30-45 mins. I do have weekends and evenings off, this is where I make the time for pups/cats. I do not tend to bring other dogs to my home, I have done so on occasion but only after my dog has had a chance to meet our new furry visitor. I do dog walks, visits and out door adventures for your pup. I even take some of my 4 legged friends to the back country roads, for that nice open free run!
About: I have over 20 years of experience loving and caring for pets. My journey started with cats, and eventually led to my beloved Basset Hound, Carlos. Sadly, Carlos passed away in 2024 after a short battle with cancer. I deeply miss having animals around, and I am so ready to open my heart and home to your furry family members! If Carlos were here, she would tell you that she was completely spoiled with endless cuddles, treats, and multiple walks a day…and that is exactly the kind of five-star treatment your pet will receive. If you are looking for a true home away from home where your pet will be safe, loved, and thoroughly pampered, I am your sitter! Since I’m home all day and all week long, your pet will enjoy constant company and endless attention. Our days are anchored by two structured outings: a refreshing morning walk to kick off the day, and an evening "finisher" walk after dinner to wind down.In between, your furry family member will get frequent potty breaks, backyard playtime, and plenty of couch cuddles while I keep them company full-time. Because I am home full-time, I offer constant supervision and actively avoid stressful encounters or triggers—both inside the home and out on walks. My household includes my two mature teenagers who have grown up around animals and love having them around. To ensure a safe, calm, and happy environment for everyone, I am best suited for dogs that are friendly, non-aggressive, and comfortable around older kids.
“Teaghan was absolutely wonderful! We were in town for a wedding and her wonderful care of my fur baby made the weekend so much more enjoyable! Lola had a blast and was well cared for! She also sent up updates and photos. Highly recommend Teaghan for your pet sitting needs!”
“My dog was at Sarah's once for daycare and when we left him for boarding he was super excited to go there. Sarah sent regular updates and left me at ease, knowing he was being well cared for.”
“Jennifer was absolutely great with my little guy. Constantly kept me updated and sent pictures. Was very nice to talk to and gave Crosby tons of attention. I highly recommend her if your looking for a sitter for your best friend.”
“Laura and John always make Jojo feel at home. She has a great time playing with Luna and Zoe. She's always tired when she gets home from visiting them so we know she's been playing alot. We will definitely be back.”
About: Like many others, I have been blessed with having the ability to care for animals throughout my life. In 2015, I had the wonderful opportunity to follow my passion professionally. I began working in a veterinarian clinic as a receptionist, technician assistant and external boarding for cats. After the adoption of our beloved Trixie in 2018, my focus shifted to behavior training while continuing care within the small animal medical atmosphere. Recently, I became certified as a professional pet dog trainer and specialized in aggression/reactivity/seperation anxiety. I continue my education through conferences/mentor sessions and am working towards becoming CCPDT certified. I am also an enrichment scent work instructor. I also have my Canine First Aid certification. If you are looking for someone to care for your companion, and would like to add any of the services that are mentioned above during their time with me (or at another time), I would love to get to know you and your companion. I am currently a stay at home mom and provide individualized training consultations as well as general pet care during early mornings and evenings during the week (including weekends). I offer limited care (1 or 2 dogs at a time) in my own home during the day if need be. My only requirements are that your companion not have prey drive (I do have cats and young children) and are good with another female adult dog. I have a large fenced in yard, and can accommodate your specific instructions/requirements as much as possible. Your companion will always be supervised and never left unattended.
About: I have experience with every kind of dog you can name. Experienced in giving needles and oral medication, following detailed instructions and enjoying every quirk your pet has. Whatever they need, I can handle it. Take a break, you deserve it! Pet care is my full time job, send me the dates and times you’d like and we can make it work. Talk to you soon! I will care for your dogs like they are my own, they will not be running wild or off the walls. They will be happy.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Red Deer
The dogs enjoyed being with Denise; it was evident but all the photos and videos that she provided. It gave us peace of mind to know that they were so comfortable and happy during there time there. We will definitely use Denise again and the dogs will be thrilled to return to their second home ☺️
Ginette was the best buddy for my pup while I was away for a week! Every day I heard about how my dog had been that day and the activities that she enjoyed! So it was more than just getting cute pictures! It was reports about what she had done and how happy she was. Ginette was faithful to touching base with me, which made my time away worry free. I was most nervous about how my dog would do at night, but Ginette became her safe place; space to relax and rest! Ginette really listens to the details and special things I asked her to offer my dog. I feel Ginette is a very kind, intuitive care giver and I highly recommend her. Ginette has a special way with my dog and they became very good friends. My little pup truly enjoyed her time with Ginette! A whole week worry free!! Thank you Ginette!!!
We highly recommend Cathy-Lea and Paul for dog sitting. Their home and yard are very secure and safe, which gave us complete peace of mind. Our dog is an extremely picky eater, but Cathy-Lea went above and beyond to encourage him to eat during his four-day stay. Her patience, dedication, and genuine care for his well-being were greatly appreciated. They also provide honest and helpful feedback about your dog’s stay, which we found very valuable. We would not hesitate to leave our dog with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring dog sitters.
Tanner was very professional and adaptable. One of my dogs is a new to me rescue. There was some uncertainty about how he may adapt. Tanner took this in stride and our initial meet and greet allayed any of my concerns. Their home was well suited for dogs having nearly all hardwood floors and a fenced in back yard. Tanner has his own dog that quickly became playful and social. I was in India and was not necessarily readily accessible, but Tanner made sure to send me nearly daily photos and updates to ease my mind. I would definitely recommend Tanner to anyone looking for a sitter! The dogs benefited much more being with his loving family. Thank you so much Tanner.
