“I would recommend Carina 100%. She looked after our Ruby on a long weekend, sent us pictures of their adventures, and communicated on our return for best drop off time. When we met to pick up Ruby, she was well at home, and completely tired from the weekend walks. I would highly recommend Carina to anyone looking for dog care, she is wonderful!!!”


“Kristin and her family have watched Ocean twice after our initial meet and greet. Ocean is a very shy pup and has a lot of anxiety with people she doesn't know. The first overnight she was very shy and timid at drop off and hid upstairs for a lot of the evening. By night time she was up on the bed to cuddle with Kristin and her husband. When I picked her up the next day she was so comfortable and running about the house. The second time we went she ran right into the house, no fear or anxiety at all. She had a wonderful stay and loves the family and their dogs Jasper and Willow. I am more than happy with our experience with Kristin and the care she provides. I especially appreciate her understanding of Ocean's anxiety and need for space when she's anxious. I would highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again. Ocean and I are truly grateful to have found this service and Kristin. 😊”


“We used Sarah’s services to watch our pup while we left for our wedding. When we came back and got him, he was so calm. You can tell he had A LOT of fun for the last few days, as he is soo tired haha!”


“Titan had an amazing stay! He came home happy, healthy, and played out. We received pictures and updates throughout his stay, which was greatly appreciated. There was no doubt in our mind that Titan was being loved and well taken care of while we were away. Highly recommend Lydia, Sean, and their kids to take care of your fur baby as they'll be treated like a part of their family.”


“Phoenix did a great job taking care of our pups! They were walked frequently, and Phoenix took care to send photos and videos. She was also very accommodating when we were running late to pick them up.”


“Tanner took amazing care of Cheeko, sending photos of the experience and taking the time to introduce him to his cat and his dog who were also great companions. This allowed me to have a great visit with my grandchildren and no worries. Tanner will definitely be our Rover Provider whenever in the Red Deer area :), with this opportunity I hope to return Cheeko biweekly in the future. Thank you Tanner !!”


“Laura ans John were fabulous with my Schnauzer Dexter as were their dogs. They took care of him like he was their own. Dexter was super happy when I picked him up. We will definitely use them again.”


“My dog did great with Carmen, she came home tired and happy. I was able to enjoy my time out of town knowing she was well taken care of. I would most definitely have Carmen watch her again.”


“We are so pleased with Vanessa! She watched our German Shepherd for a week at her house and did a fantastic job. We got daily updates and our girl got lots of walks, dog park visits, and love from Vanessa and her family. Highly recommend!”


“I highly recommend Janelle! I went away overnight and leaving my fur baby with her made it completely stress and worry free! My dog has a little bit of health issues and she was so understanding and tended to my dog perfectly! Janelle sent lots of updates and photos, it was great!”


“Duke and Lola loved their stay one on one care rather than a group daycare. Cathy-Lea and her husband spoiled them with love and attention highly recommend them. Thank you both for taking such great care of Duke and Lola they can’t wait to visit again ❤️🥰❤️🥰🐾🐾”

“We were very happy in leaving our little LaceyMae in the care of Jenna. She showed genuine love and provided a safe environment that we felt confident that our little girl was in good hands. She also sent updates and pictures which we appreciated. Thank you, Jenna!”


“Tara and her family, welcomed Gemma into their home, was up dated with photos and videos, Gemma was enjoying herself. Gemma hadn’t been away from home but a couple of times. I wondered how she would react. I was completely at ease with Gemma being with Tara and Ian.”


About: I have taken care of 7 of my own pets and many friends/family pets as well. I have dealt with all ages, 3 week old to 17 years old. I'm well versed in feeding and medication schedules. Also have dealt with alot of wound care after surgeries as well. I'm currently between jobs so I have a lot of time to put toward your pet and the attention for seeking for them. I'm honest, reliable, and overall a calm loving person. Dogs and cats are usually instantly my buddies and I will treat and care for them to your preference. I go above and beyond for my pets so for yours I would do the same. I have a large yard, lots of room to run and play. Unfortunately not fully fenced at this moment, but I have a large outdoor kitty/dog pen. I also have retractable tether leash. Since I am off right now the vast majority of my time can be with your pet. I love the outdoors and fixing things, I love walking and river adventures as well as snuggling on the couch with my pets and just enjoying their company.

“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter for our two dogs Scout and Nola. She was very attentive, sent us frequent updates/pictures and took the pups for walks even in the cold weather. Our dogs got along famously with her two dogs and her children. The whole family pitched in to help care for Nola (who can hunger strike while we’re out of town). Her daughter sat with Nola at mealtimes to make sure Nola felt comfortable enough to eat. We would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a great family to sit your pup!”

“I work away alot and whenever I leave for work, I always leave my dog with Steph. Every time my dog goes over there she is treated extremely well and gets lots of exercise and enrichment, I especially love getting picture updates of what they're up to as its always something my dog loves to do. Steph takes such good care of her that she always comes back a happy and healthy dog, and I absolutely would pick her for my first choice for dog sitting any day.”
