Dog Sitting in Silver Berry

“Alysha was terrific! She communicated well and helped work out a few booking issues. She looked after our cat and dog and provided photo updates. Would be grateful to work with Alysha again!”

About: IN EDMONTON FROM APRIL 30 to MAY 18 :) can take house sitting, dog walking and drop ins. Moving to Nanaimo end of May and will be house/pet sitting until I get settled in. Only house sitting, dock walking and drop in visits available. I am the go to for many friends and family for pet sitting! I travel a lot which makes having a dog or cat of my own hard, so being able to care for my friends pets allows me to get that animal therapy I need! I’ve had their pets in my home, or I’ve stayed at their place to watch them if their pet feels more comfortable in their own home. I love going for walks, and spending as much time with them as I can :) I’ve had pets my entire life - dogs, ferrets, and Guinea pigs. But as of now we don’t have any pets. My husband and I stayed at an animal rescue in Colombia, and it was truly paradise to be surrounded by so many dogs and cats that just wanted to be loved! We also pet sat our entire year in New Zealand (using kiwi housesitters). While I’m in Edmonton I’m free all day! End of May I will be working casual as a sonographer in Nanaimo. I will have some days off but some days I will be out of the house from 7-4. So your pet would have to be okay being alone some days. But you can message me to see if they are days where I am not working. Lots of walks and play time provided! As long as I have all the instructions needed to care for your pet, your fur baby is in good hands! I treat each pet as if they were my own.

About: I currently have a 9 year old beagle that I have had since she was a puppy. That in itself should show how much patience I have for dogs, lol. If you k ow beagles, you know how what I am talking about. I work at a school and am available anytime for before work after school care. Just like children, lol. I am available all summer as well. I have one dog at home who is super spoiled but loves yo play with other dogs. I can do dog sitting in my home. My yard is fenced.

“Jo is definitely a pet sitter extraordinaire, 100%! I will be recommending Jo to all my friends and neighbors that may be looking for a pet sitter!”

“Heather was amazing! We were gone for two weeks over the holidays and she took amazing care of Pickle! We had some mishaps with our automatic feeder and she really went above and beyond to make us feel reassured!”

“Anick was great with my 2 cats! Even one who doesn’t like strangers really enjoyed her. It was my first experience having someone I didn’t know to look after my furry pets and it was fantastic. She always sent updates and pictures to let me know how they were. I would definitely recommend Anick. And I will be a repeat costumer. Merci Anick!!!”

About: Missing going on walks with my labs on the farm. Would love to give some doggies care and exercise —my cat is NOT about the leash life. I work on the South side 7:00-3:30, Monday to Friday. Available for both early morning and evening walks on weekdays. Available anytime during the weekend. I have experience with many different breeds and temperaments of dogs, as I used to volunteer at the Edmonton Humane Society dog walking the shelter dogs. I do have a fenced yard if off leash time is better suited for your dog. Felix (my cat) can attest he gets all the attention but I also know when he wants personal space. Cats know what they want.

“Sarah-Beth was wonderful! She sent awesome pictures of the kitties and got along with them so well! Definitely recommending her and booking her again in the future!”

About: I have been around animals my whole life. In elementary school, I would be greeted by our farm cats as soon as I got home. After a quick pet or cuddle with each of them, I would refill their water and food bowls and sit with the bigger cuddlers for as long as I could. In secondary school, I trained our family puppy - from obedience to competing in agility competitions. I loved watching him learn new tricks and never forget the basics, even as a senior dog and with me living away from him. While in university, I kept animals in my life by volunteering at the local SPCA. I loved the bigger dogs, and my heart broke if I ever saw them afraid of other dogs or humans. Helping them through their rehabilitation was an honour. As an adult, I adopted an orange tabby, "Naranjito." Jito, as we call him, is celebrating 17 human years as of 2026. He sleeps a bit more, and needs an extra step to jump sometimes, but he's still strong enough to put his BIGGER 2-year-old spicy sister in her place when she attacks him in play. With only one cat, I craved helping more, and did some pet care for others in my 20s. This involved bird-sitting, and dog-walking. A friend asked me to take in her older cat when she had a family illness. "Sally The Cat" was the embodiment of love. She had diabetes, but would still purr through her blood tests and insulin injections. This made me more comfortable with taking care of more serious health issues. Our current family dog has epilepsy and allergies. His first seizure was a month after his adoption, and was pretty scary - for all of us. I quickly became the person in the family to stay with him through it, and comfort him back to his normal self afterwards. With him, I have become comfortable with giving pills, and asking for veterinary help when needed. I love all animals, but I get to spend my life caring for cats and dogs. I am working part-time, but I have some mornings, a couple evenings, and most weekends available to care for others' pets outside of my home. I have been called "too trusting" in my past... but this has luckily never injured me in a serious way. In fact, the worst thing is realizing that my standard of trustworthiness is NOT universal... but that has made me more skeptical of others when it really matters. Caring for your pet is something that requires a lot of trust of me, and I appreciate your skepticism. I wouldn't leave my fur-babies with just anyone, too. Training dogs when I was younger made me much more aware of body language and different personalities. I am always watching for potential stressors or safety issues. I love giving dogs the freedom of an off-leash area, but would have to trust that they will listen to me before being comfortable with any safety risks involved with that.

About: Having owned two wonderful dogs in my life and been a special friend & "aunt" of several other dogs and some cats. I am highly experienced and motivated to help you care for your beloved furry family members. I am warm, friendly and calm around animals and I find they are naturally drawn to me. I am trained in reiki and use gental reiki energy to balance and relax your pets in your absence. I do contract work and I am writing a book, so my time is flexible and I am available to spend quality time with your pets. As a sitter who would be in your home, caring for your pets, I would be able to follow your established schedule in order to cause the least distress and or disruption for your pets.

About: I have had small dogs all my life, and am also a proud Cat mom to 3 beautiful felines. My passion for animals has always been strong, and I have previously worked at Petsmart as a Pet care associate, caring for many small animals. I've babysat for friends/families dogs over several years, and am comfortable bathing&brushing if needed. Your dog will always have clean water on hand,and I believe long walks and fresh air are a NECESSITY, and a wonderful way for bonding. I love to play catch or play chase, whatever hobby your pup loves the most. Their happiness is of utmost importance. Does your dog love snuggles and pets??? I will make certain they get all the love they can handle. For boarding, I live in a townhouse, there is not a fenced yard, but there is a dog run just behind the parking lot for very easy access for potty breaks. I am home 24/7 for supervision and can provide as many walks your pup needs. There are tons of parks nearby and big spaces to run. No walk is boring for me, if they are sniffers, great. If they are barkers, no problem! If they like to cruise, you bet I can keep up. I'd be happy to answer any other questions you may have! I'm an open book. I have also completed my Canadian Red Cross certification for all your pets emergency needs - CPR, Choking, wound care Some other information about me. I have been a Pharmacy assistant the past 16 years and have worked in hospitality caring for people and helping their health journeys. I have also worked as a Casual housekeeper at the Grey nuns. I am currently not working and am available at all times to care for your pet! Whether that's extremely early wake ups or late nights, Im your girl!! I am home 24/7 with no children, so my animals are my passion. They have constant supervision and play. Attention is definitely not lacking in this household. If your dog requires crating, I will make sure to do so. I have my Canadian Red Cross certification for all your pets emergency needs including CPR&Choking and wound care.

About: I like many other people have had pets from a young age. I have always loved animals & I'm looking forward to meeting some of yours too. I have multiple hours Monday to Friday that i will be able to use to pop in to check on your pets or take them for a walk depending on what service you require on the day I have reliable transportation so that you never have to worry about me being there on time. I am also a very active walker with my own dogs which i am sure your dogs will love just as much as mine

“Mikaila was excellent with our diabetic kitty Ringo. I appreciated the cute updates and photos. Our first experience with Rover and I quite nervous but was a great experience. I do not hesitate to recommend.”

About: Its hard enough to leave a pet with a stranger I'm hoping to make that a little bit easier. Besides taking care of personal pets since I was 10yrs old, in recent years I've taking a liking to babysitting friends dogs both at their home or mine. I have a daughter who I consider when looking at my schedule and as long as we have a friendly bunch I would be taking her along. I've taught her to respect animals just as much as I do and pet personal space is considered into that. I have a small fenced yard, but plenty of walking trails around. I don't have any pets of my own besides the 2 dogs and cat at my moms that stayed with my family when I moved out. I like to engage with the animals, if I'm coming to your house or otherwise to care for your animal I want them to feel seen and loved in the stressful moments while the most important people in their life are away.

“Our kittens loved Tessa! She got great photos of them for us and spent lots of time playing and cuddling. She made sure to complete everything we asked for each visit and was even willing to help out with our plants last minute. Communication was awesome, we never had to worry that our babies were being well cared for! Tessa is very reliable and friendly, we would love to have her back anytime :)”

About: I have had pets in my home since I was a child and pets gravitate towards me. I would love to take your dog for a walk and fetch in the park, or take care of them overnight. My dog & I frequently enjoy hours together in the river valley and he would love a companion. If you’re not comfortable with that (though he is a sweetheart), I can walk your pup solo! I’ll always be sure to have water on hand, and if permitted, treats! You can rest assured that your dog (or cat or ferret) will be safe and happy in my care. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know and I will be happy to give you anymore relevant information! I work evenings and weekend brunches at a restaurant, so I can walk your dog any day of the week! Usually available same day for last minute needs I live in a gated community downtown so your pet would be safe in my home. I also drive a Ford escape so there’s plenty of space for multiple dogs in my vehicle for transportation to walks.

About: One of my previous jobs was at the Edmonton Humane Society, where I worked with all breeds and sizes of dogs. I am Fear Free certified, which means your dogs will always be treated with kindness and care. Throughout my 10+ years of experience, I never encountered a dog I couldn't handle or get through to. I truly believe that there are no bad dogs. I am currently a student part time at NAIT and am looking for some income and movement in-between my online classes. I am available around 6 hours a day for walking, and am very flexible with my schedule and time. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly golden retriever who's good with cats and dogs. I also have 4 cats that are all cat and dog friendly as well. It's a bit of a zoo but everyone is happy and healthy. I always say the animals eat better than we do.

About: I have been taking care of various types of animals the majority of my life. I am experienced with senior cats and dogs with specialized diets and administering medications. As well as looking after higher need animals. I am happy to take your pups out for walks and have house visits with your fur babies! I have a fairly open schedule during the day and overnight as needed I am looking forward to filling my schedule spending time with your fur babies! Your pet’s safety and your home’s security are my top priorities. I will stick strictly to your established routines to minimize stress and provide walk updates with photos after every visit.
