“Carina took very good care of our sweet and shy Luna. We instantly felt comfortable with leaving Luna for the weekend and received many updates. We would definitely recommend Carina- she is gentle, kind and attentive. We will absolutely use her dog sitting services again.”
“I give Ginette a 10 out of 10 review for friendliness, efficiency, kindness, and excellent care for our muffin. She obviously loves and enjoys dogs and we highly recommend her as an excellent dog sitter. Thank you Ginette. Bruce and Karela”
“Sarah was awesome- blue heelers are a niche breed, so hard to find someone that not only welcomed Tilly into her home, but also encouraged us to bring her back. Sarah sent a couple update texts which were all positive, and most importantly dealt with Tillys leg injury while there. Well for sure bring her back when in Red Deer again!! Much love Sarah and family, Regards, the McCarthys !!”
“Brooke was fantastic with Parker over the long weekend.She asked thoughtful questions before to ensure she understood all his routines and spoiled him with wonderful long walks. Parker came back home happy and well-cared for. Highly recommended!”
“Janelle took the time to get to know our dog and helped her feel comfortable and safe from the start. She was very attentive and kept us updated throughout the stay, sending photos and letting us know how our dog was doing. It gave us great peace of mind knowing that she was being so well cared for. Janelle kept us informed of every detail, and we truly appreciated her kindness and dedication. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of her!”
About: I offer personalized, loving care for puppies and senior pets, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I’ll be a friendly companion, keeping your pet’s routine and comfort top of mind. I can offer personalized care and attention whenever needed, ensuring your pet gets the love, exercise, and companionship they deserve at any time of day. Although I am currently a student, I prioritize making time for my passions and hobbies. This being one of them! In both my home and your pet’s home, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment where your pet feels at ease. I maintain a pet-proof space to ensure their safety, and I follow their routines closely to provide consistency. Building trust is key, and I make sure to provide plenty of attention, care, and affection to help them feel secure and loved while you're away.
About: I have over 20 years of experience loving and caring for pets. My journey started with cats, and eventually led to my beloved Basset Hound, Carlos. Sadly, Carlos passed away in 2024 after a short battle with cancer. I deeply miss having animals around, and I am so ready to open my heart and home to your furry family members! If Carlos were here, she would tell you that she was completely spoiled with endless cuddles, treats, and multiple walks a day…and that is exactly the kind of five-star treatment your pet will receive. If you are looking for a true home away from home where your pet will be safe, loved, and thoroughly pampered, I am your sitter! Since I’m home all day and all week long, your pet will enjoy constant company and endless attention. Our days are anchored by two structured outings: a refreshing morning walk to kick off the day, and an evening "finisher" walk after dinner to wind down.In between, your furry family member will get frequent potty breaks, backyard playtime, and plenty of couch cuddles while I keep them company full-time. Because I am home full-time, I offer constant supervision and actively avoid stressful encounters or triggers—both inside the home and out on walks. My household includes my two mature teenagers who have grown up around animals and love having them around. To ensure a safe, calm, and happy environment for everyone, I am best suited for dogs that are friendly, non-aggressive, and comfortable around older kids.
About: I have experience with every kind of dog you can name. Experienced in giving needles and oral medication, following detailed instructions and enjoying every quirk your pet has. Whatever they need, I can handle it. Take a break, you deserve it! Pet care is my full time job, send me the dates and times you’d like and we can make it work. Talk to you soon! I will care for your dogs like they are my own, they will not be running wild or off the walls. They will be happy.
About: Like many others, I have been blessed with having the ability to care for animals throughout my life. In 2015, I had the wonderful opportunity to follow my passion professionally. I began working in a veterinarian clinic as a receptionist, technician assistant and external boarding for cats. After the adoption of our beloved Trixie in 2018, my focus shifted to behavior training while continuing care within the small animal medical atmosphere. Recently, I became certified as a professional pet dog trainer and specialized in aggression/reactivity/seperation anxiety. I continue my education through conferences/mentor sessions and am working towards becoming CCPDT certified. I am also an enrichment scent work instructor. I also have my Canine First Aid certification. If you are looking for someone to care for your companion, and would like to add any of the services that are mentioned above during their time with me (or at another time), I would love to get to know you and your companion. I am currently a stay at home mom and provide individualized training consultations as well as general pet care during early mornings and evenings during the week (including weekends). I offer limited care (1 or 2 dogs at a time) in my own home during the day if need be. My only requirements are that your companion not have prey drive (I do have cats and young children) and are good with another female adult dog. I have a large fenced in yard, and can accommodate your specific instructions/requirements as much as possible. Your companion will always be supervised and never left unattended.
“Aaren was great with our dog Echo, the dogs all got along great together and after a 4 night stay with Aaren I can tell Echo is missing her and her dogs already. Will definitely be bringing Echo back when ever we need dog care. :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sylvan Lake
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t recommend her enough! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Nugget, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She sent regular updates and adorable photos so we always knew he was happy and well cared for. When our flight was unexpectedly delayed until the next day, she was incredibly accommodating. She even brought Nugget home for us and made sure we had arrived safely before continuing with her own travel plans later that day. That level of kindness and dedication meant so much to us. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond for both the pets and their owners. We are so grateful for everything she did and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Nugget again. Thank you so much !!
I never left my dog with anybody other than family before. When I found carolyn in my town , I told her that I was nervous and we met at a park so my dog could meet her and her dog. The meeting put me at ease and I felt very comfortable with my dog's body language and Carolyn's demeanor. She was kind understanding and confident in her abilities to help my dog transition with someone new like her. Carolyn took my dog who has high energy for several walks during the day and sent me pictures to comfort me that my dog settled down in her home. I would gladly recommend Carolyn. Her care for my dog and me was exceptional
