“Shea was simply excellent. She cared for our sweet kitty with the utmost care. We appreciated the daily notes about how he was doing. We couldn’t wait to get back and it was nice to not worry about his care while we were away. I highly recommend Shea.”
“Celeste was fantastic -- attentive, thorough, and most importantly, so sweet to our cats. She sent us wonderful photos from each visit & was quick to respond to any questions we had. So happy that we found her! :)”
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.
“As always, Paula took excellent care of my senior cat. My cat has health issues which require monitoring and Paula does a great job of keeping me informed. Thank you Paula!”
About: I am an all-around animal lover who has cared for many different animals over the years, including reptiles, dogs, and cats, of different backgrounds, breeds, and sizes. I’m comfortable with animals of all and energy levels. Since I am a runner, I’m happy to offer higher-energy dogs a fast-paced walk/jog for some extra exercise! :) I am an online university student, studying at home gives me plenty of time to keep pets company, play with them, and take them for walks! I sometimes work evening shifts that are 4-6 hours in length. :) 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!
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.

“Linda was great with my two cats! They were very comfortable with her and well looked after. I really appreciated Linda's thorough daily updates and photos. Highly recommended!!”

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 💙
It was so nice to have Kate checking in on our dogs. She send pictures and we got a notification every time she started her visit. You could tell the dogs were very happy and well cared for. Kate were amazing and we can definitely recommend her! Looking forward to use her again in the near future :)
Vita was amazing with my dog Nube. She walked her twice a day, fed her and gave her the medications. I’m very thankful to Vita as I had to do an emergency trip abroad because my father passed away. Vita even shovel the snow. She did check ins with every visit that showed the map where she walked my dog and how many times she peed or poop. I would highly recommend Vita to care for your pets 💕🐶🐾

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.

Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
