Dog Sitting St. Albert

“Karley was great! It was my first time booking with Rover, and I was slightly nervous. Karley was highly responsive and eased my worries. She also accommodated the booking at the last minute. Although I didn’t have internet connection while away, she sent lovely update photos. It was a pleasure to see them when I got back. I would recommend Karley to anyone!”

About: Experienced dog walker and doggy daycare manager! Relocated from Toronto where I was a dog walker/doggy daycare manager for three years! I’ve also worked in shelters, at farms and veterinary clinics since I was 8 years old! Pet care is all I do and what I love doing most in the world! On/off leash pack walks, in (my) home boarding, and daycare!☺️ Fully fenced back yard, multiple rooms for a safe environment, double clips and chew proof leashes for transportation, slow introductions to new friends, fully insured and bonded.

“I was feeling very nervous about leaving my cat alone with a stranger to check up on him whole I was gone. However, my cat instantly warmed up to Robtn who took the time to care for him well. I really appreciated her detailed reports after each visit which made me feel more at ease about leaving him alone. I would definitely hire Robyn again.”

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

“Sara is a wonderful sitter for fur babies, provided tons of attention and cuddles to our fur babies. Everything was tip top. Highly recommend booking with her!”

About: An animal lover through and through, I grew up around animals from a very young age; owning my own dogs as well as spending every summer of my youth at my godmothers’ farm rounding up cows, turkeys, chickens and yes, farm dogs and cats too. Professionally I’ve been employed as a groomer and a doggy daycare attendant so im well versed in handling dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. With me as your second in care, I can promise your domesticated babies will be well loved and taken care of! After putting my safety before the needs of a corporation that employed me for four years, I’ve found myself with plenty of free time on my hands. If you need someone to keep your pets company, you should reach out! I’ve always made a point to get out and move my body everyday which helps me be prepared to take your pups along for the journey! Overnight house sitting will always come with lots of attention and outdoor time on my part. Dog needs a more relaxing time? Absolutely not a problem. I harbour a natural balance between active and lazy, having no issue with chillin and watching some tv. You can count on me to pay attention and take action if any type of emergency were to arise. Integrity is as important to me as your pets’ safety is to you!

We've been attached at the hip ever since I got him at 10 years old. At 12.5 years, I take great lengths to keep my best friend as lively and healthy as I can. Although his body isn't what it used to be, his spirit seems to get livelier by the day! I can give all the credit to Ash for teaching me my dog knowledge (and I'm sure he would say the same for his human knowledge lol). While I consider Ash my brother, Dart is definitely my kiddo. I had adopted him mid-2025 so Ash could have more incentive to run around. He was 9.5 years and so so so incredibly anxious. He's just turned 11 this past September and I can say that it's truly been a privilege to not only watch him bloom into the sweet boy he is today, but also to have grow with him. (He's also definitely put a lot of my dog first aid training to use... if you have a pointer/bird dog, you'll know exactly what I mean 🤦‍♂️). 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄: I've worked professionally with dogs since the age of 18! My first long-term job was at a dog-daycare. I absolutely loved it. I'd typically be tasked to handle dogs with special needs, whether that be behavioural or medical. I find that dogs also tend to connect with me but that may be akin to my understanding of dog language and the possible my under-scent reeking of my two dogs haha. If a dog is struggling to warm up to me, I am very patient and become extra attentive to their body language to ensure I always respect their boundaries. On the other end, I have no fears meeting and handling more reactive dogs (within reason. ex, no one should be expecting walks at rush hour with a very aggression-prone dog). I’m best available for walk/drop-ins during weekday mornings before 10:30am and MWF after 2pm. However, if you need care outside of these hours, I am more than happy to see if we can schedule visits that work for both of us! If you need housesitting, I'm typically best available for shorter stays unless it's a long weekend or during an extended school break (ex. reading week). 𝐇𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫, I understand how busy life can get, especially when unexpected hurdles come your way. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you require last-minute or one-time walk/drop-in services. Again, I'd be more than happy to try and work scheduling out. I’m very respectful of others spaces and will be able to recognize and learn the routines of your pup pretty quick! Special instructions are always welcome! I want to replicate their regular routine as much as possible to cause the least amount of stress. :) I take the time to understand each pet’s boundaries and build trust at their pace. I strive to create a safe, comforting environment through soft tones, words, and actions, and most importantly: patience.

About: I have been the go to sitter for family and friends for a long time now! From long walks and quality time with your furry friends. To feeding time and clean up time, I am always happy to help! I have experience with rescue animals and senior animals as well. I’m currently working a full time job from 8am-4pm four days a week! My weekends are always free and I have lots of time after work as well for any pet care needs! I will always put your animal first and make sure they are always in a safe and joyful environment. I will always make sure yards are secure and leashes as well. The most important thing to me is the safety of every pet.

“We just started using Emily to walk our pups and interact with them while we are at work. She is doing an amazing job. We have 2 dogs and one has very high energy and some reactivity. She is helping us work through her issues and maintaining our training for our pup.”

“This was the first time I've left Bee all by herself and she was well loved and content when I returned. David sent me photos for every check-in and took time to play with her and talk to her. I highly recommend him; he put my mind at ease and I could enjoy my vacation.”

About: I love pets, and ever since I got one of my own I've done everything to research how to give the best care to them. I don't have any of my fur babies anymore so I can direct all my attention to yours! I work from home! So if you need me to watch the pets or do work around the house - I'm your girl! We can discuss the best possible care for you and your pet ✨️ ❤️ I also live in a house that can accommodate dogs. I have a backyard and I'm always home to give your fur babies love, attention and belly rubs.

About: For 16 wonderful years, I cared for my own highly anxious dog who, in her senior years, also became blind and deaf. That experience taught me deep patience, compassion, and how to make even the most sensitive pups feel safe and loved. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs — and I’m here to meet them with care and kindness. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, some cozy company while you’re away, or just extra love and attention, I’ve got it covered. I’m dependable, easy to reach, and treat every furry friend like family. Expect regular updates, happy tails, and total peace of mind. Let’s keep your pup safe, loved, and having the best time—every time we hang out! I work a full-time job during the day, but I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting after 3:30 PM on weekdays and fully available on weekends. Whether your pup needs an evening walk, dinner-time company, or weekend care, I’ve got you covered with plenty of love, patience, and reliable service! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pup in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure environment where they feel safe, loved, and respected. I take time to understand each dog’s unique needs, routines, and personality. From managing anxious pups to senior dogs with special care needs, I handle every situation with patience and attention. I always follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any special instructions you provide — and I’m happy to send regular updates so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. In your home, I’m respectful, tidy, and treat your space the way I’d want mine to be treated. In my home, pets are never left unattended for long, and I make sure they have plenty of space, enrichment, and love. You can trust that your dog is in good hands — safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.

About: I have three cats and a dog and grew up caring for animals. I love caring for pets and appreciate all the nuances that come with proper care, including feeding, walking, playing, meds, hair brushing, nail clipping and having fun. I'm also a dad of two and super committed to being entirely safe and responsible for a pet's full well being and safety I work from home and have the flexibility to take lunches and have time after work to provide pet care services, especially so on weekends. I have a fenced home to ensure any pets at my home are completely safe. As a pet owner, I am also sure to build trust and ensure your pet is in environment where they are cared for and completely safe.

“Colby dropped in on my senior cat daily while I was out of the country, providing him with extra attention and giving me more peace of mind being away. She was very dependable and provided regular uodates & photos.”

Karen P.

About: I have trained a beautiful pup to talk using button training. She now knows 35 words and “I love you” is her favourite! I also love photography, so you can expect plenty of photos and videos of your loved one. I love taking cats, dogs, and myself for beautiful River Valley walks as well! I currently work remotely, for myself, and part time, so I will have lots of time to spend with your loved one! You can expect lots of walks and play time in our spacious, fenced backyard. I have a fenced spacious backyard, and currently no pets, so your furbaby will be my sole priority. We have lots of parks and walking trails near our home with plenty green space and trees to sniff and explore!

About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for pets and homes for friends and family. Pet sitting has always come naturally to me — I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal, earning their trust, understanding their routines, and caring for them in a way that feels calm and respectful. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, including cats and dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I love taking dogs for walks, spending quiet time with cats, and providing plenty of affection, comfort, and reassurance while their owners are away. In addition to cats and dogs, I’ve also cared for rabbits (including daily cleaning), fish, reptiles, and even a snake, which involved feeding and maintaining proper care routines. I grew up in the countryside, so I’m familiar with farm life and the responsibility that comes with caring for animals consistently and attentively. When caring for a home, I’m tidy, respectful, and mindful of routines. I understand that pets are family members, and I take pride in providing them with safe, loving, and dependable care so owners can travel with complete peace of mind. I’m currently transitioning into civilian life after retiring from the Canadian military and am studying online, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. This allows me to be present for pets throughout the day, maintain feeding and walking routines, and spend quality time providing companionship, play, and calm supervision. I’m happy to adapt my routine to match your pet’s usual schedule so they feel secure and comfortable. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow all routines and instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if required, and household rules. I keep the home tidy and secure, respect privacy, and ensure pets are supervised, comfortable, and never left in unsafe situations. I believe consistency, calm energy, and attentiveness are key to building trust with both pets and homeowners.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I feel very comfortable with them both and I’ve helped friends and family care for both. Love them and enjoy being with them. I am currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to play and entertain your cats/dogs at a time and day that’s best for you and your pet. I unfortunately do not do house sitting at my home, but I am happy to come to your home and care for your fur babies there.

“Niki took care of my pet for an entire week - 2 drop ins per day. She has been amazing, sent me updates and pictures. Very reliable and nice! Highly recommend. Easy to communicate with.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Zoe. She did drop-in visits for our four cats over two weeks and truly went above and beyond in every way. Her communication was excellent—she provided detailed notes after each visit along with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Zoe also took amazing care of our home. She even shoveled when it snowed and brought in packages that arrived while we were gone, which was incredibly thoughtful. When we returned, the house smelled fresh and clean—not like litter at all—which says so much about the level of care she put in. We would absolutely recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter.”

Savannah T.

“Nicole was excellent! Persephone just loved her. Nicole played with my cat every time she visited. She created a bond with Persephone on her 'greet and meet' visit. I will certainly have Nicole again and would recommend her to anyone with pets. Great job Nicole!”
