“Shea is the best! It was my second time booking with her and she took excellent care of my cat with drop-in visits while I was away. Very friendly and reliable. I would definitely book with Shea again.”
About: Have had many animals in our past, such as dogs, cats, fish, and even horses. The backyard is large, and backs onto the St. Albert trail system. Excellent for walking your lovely dog. Also my wife has completed her course as a veterinarian assistant. I am a retired gentleman around home most often. Am also able to travel (within St.Albert and area) to your home to tend to your animals. I have a large fenced in backyard which backs onto to the St. Albert trail system and is perfect for walks.. My wife (at one time) was a trained Animal Health Technologist.
About: I have experience with different animals from small dogs to larger breeds > 100lbs I don’t have any pets of my own but I have volunteered at animal shelters walking dogs and giving pets and cuddles to the cats I enjoy walking in the river valley, checking out new neighbourhoods, hiking, and taking advantage of any opportunity to be around animals I am currently working part-time/ casual so my schedule varies but I mostly work evenings and have mornings and weekends off. If there is a stretch of time that will be needed, I can accommodate if sufficient notice is given I would ensure the dog is given a long/short walk depending on needs, letting out to use the bathroom and routine feeding. Lots of play time with balls or toys Cats- I will cuddle or play with your cat(s), feed if needed, clean litter as well
About: I have loved dogs since I was a wee babe. Whether it was being pulled behind the sleigh by our Chesapeake Bay Retriever, walking our Dachshund as a pre-teen, taking our Rottweiler mix to training class during high school, or helping my ageing mother with her senior rescue, I have always had a loving and respectful relationship with dogs. I am literally the girl whose friends all know I stop to pet all the dogs I meet (with permission first of course). So if I sound like your kind of pet person I’d be delighted to help you in looking after your dog! I work a regular Monday-Friday 9-5 week and have evenings free so I have lots of time after work and weekends to walk and play with your pup! I have two calm dog-friendly cats at home so if you have a cat-friendly dog who likes furry friends then they will all get along. I also walk a neighbour’s dog regularly so if your pup prefers to have friends join for walks then we can do that too.
“First time doing a drop in visit. We were a bit nervous leaving our dog at home for that day and Samantha was very kind and informative. She took our dog out for a break and got in some snuggles as well and kept communication open and let us know how our dog was doing. Definetly will use her services again!”
“Celeste was fantastic. Dogs were happy and healthy when we came back and they seemed totally unphased that we had even left . Updates were a nice touch too! Would 10/10 recommend her services and we won’t hesitate to use her again!”
“Heather did a fantastic job checking in on our senior kitty while we were out of town. She was very understanding and accommodating to her needs and sent very detailed updates during her check-ins. We are grateful to have found someone like her to look out for our girl! 10/10, will absolutely hire Heather again!”
About: I have had pets my entire life, and I have been trusted to take care of family and friends pets for extended periods of time. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs and I am able to administer medications and bathe animals if needed. I can also feed animals a raw diet if required (with instructions). I like to go on 1-2 walks a day, depending on the dog and my schedule. I am currently a full time university student with a part time job, but I am able to pet sit any day of the week! Currently I’m gone during a few days and evenings. but am more free as summer approaches. During my free time I love going on walks, cuddles, some treats and some fun! I follow instructions of care closely so that both the pet and owners are happy with the experience. I personally keep a tidy space and I clean up after the pet as needed.
“Paula is a lifesaver! She is very responsive and goes out of her way to be available. I have last minute schedule changes due to my job and I am new to Edmonton. Without her, I’d be at a loss as to what to do with my pets. She is great with both my geriatric dog and cat, is fine to deliver their medication, and is patient with mobility issues. I cannot say enough good things!”
“Jenna was so communicative and took great care of our cat over 2 weeks. She went above and beyond and helped out when our cat got into a few situations while we were gone. Would definitely request her pet sitting expertise again!”
“Alana was wonderful! Great communication and was lovely to talk to during the initial visit. She followed all instructions to a T. I especially appreciated recieving the thorough notes on how the visit went, how long she stayed to keep the kitties company, and all the pictures of our kitties!! Thank you Alana!! We hope to use you again in the future!!”
“Linda was great! Our two cats were happy guys when we returned home. Linda was a great communicator and sent lots of updates. I’d be happy to have her care for our pets in the future!”
“Sydney communicated well, double checked on the plans, and cared for our girl wonderfully! She sends lots of pictures and I appreciate her check-ins during the visits. Will absolutely be booking again when we need dog care!”
“Madalynn was excellent. I have a very anxious, jumpy Great Dane that Madalynn met, and she was very calm about his frustration and anxiety. She worked with him using treats and was able to settle him. She never showed any fear at all! I will have her back again!”
“Saoirse is very sweet and kind. I love how caring she was for my shadow. She gave me daily updates and sent me pictures and videos. I would recommend her if you have a fussy cat that is anxious.”
“Sarah has been watching my pup for a few days now and she has been so kind. She repeats my instructions to me in detail so she understands exactly how to care for my pup. We are hoping to be able to keep booking her for the next few months!”
About: After saying goodbye to our 14 year old lab we have a puppy who loves to play. I'm happy to offer pee breaks or play time! I work part-time from home and a stay-at-home mom so between errands and school drop offs I'm free to play with furry friends & tire mine out in the process!! My pets are part of the family and we treat them as such. Your furry friends would be well taken care with me! Pee breaks or playtime, I'm your gal.
About: I am an all-around animal lover who has owned and/or cared for many different animals over the years, including dogs and cats from various backgrounds and of many different breeds and sizes. I’m comfortable with animals of all different personalities and energy levels. As a runner, I can also offer higher-energy dogs a faster-paced walk/run for some extra exercise! I am a university student that attends online classes. Studying at home gives me plenty of time to keep pets company, play with them, and take them for walks. I have a flexible schedule when it comes to fitting in pet care, walks, drop-in visits, etc, into my routine. I provide care in client’s homes. I require a meet and greet beforehand to get to know your pet, learn their routine, discuss care instructions, and to make sure they feel comfortable with me.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - St. Albert
Shea was absolutely fantastic. We just moved here and had SO MUCH anxiety about finding a pet sitter, but from the moment we met her during our meet and greet our worries were immediately diminished. This was confirmed with her wonderful updates and pictures we recieved during our time away. It is so apparent that Shea LOVES looking after animals and puts her whole heart into it. We truly couldn't ask for more. We were so impressed that booked her again for an upcoming weekend away. THANK YOU Shea for being so great! We are grateful for the love and care you showed Louis 💙
