About: From zoomies to snuggles, Ive cared for dogs, cats and foster kitties. Friends and family rely on me to care for their precious fur babies. Although I live in Sylvan, I am regularly in Red Deer and can work my schedule to easily offer pet care in Red Deer. I've spent the last several years working in supportive roles at a women’s shelter, where I developed strong skills in responsibility, patience, and providing safe, reliable care. Those same qualities naturally extend into how I look after animals. I am looking to grow my pet sitting/walking services at this period of my life while my kids are still fairly young so I can spend time with them. I understand how important consistency, safety, and trust are, whether it’s supporting people or caring for pets. I’m attentive to routines, quick to notice changes in behavior, and committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. From energetic walks to quiet cuddle time, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. You can also expect clear communication and regular updates, so you always know your furry family member is in good hands. Pet care fits wonderfully into my week with my flexible schedule. I love spending time walking, playing and caring for animals. I’m not able to host pets in my home due to my two cats, but I provide care in your home with complete attention and reliability. I follow your routines, keep your pets safe and comfortable, and make sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away.

“Carmen is friendly, prompt, and our pup is excited to walk with her. She easily bonded with him, and has no problem using the commands he understands. You and your pup will be happy with Carmen!”

About: Hi there! My name is Edyta, I live in Sylvan Lake, and I would love to help you out with your furry family members. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I love breaking up my work with some fresh air and sunshine, so I’m often out walking around the neighbourhood or by the lake - perfect for regular walks or quick drop-in visits. I’ve always loved animals and often help friends with their pets. Whether you need someone to take your dog out during a busy day or check in on your cat while you’re away, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I’m happy to follow any special instructions or routines your pets have, just let me know what works best for them. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I can very easily fit in a couple walks, a drop in or even work from your home if you prefer companionship for your pet there. It's my goal to keep things as safe, familiar, and stress-free as possible. I always start by getting to know your pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can make sure everything feels just like home for them. I’m very mindful about safety — checking that doors and gates are secure, leashes are clipped properly, and food or medications are handled exactly as directed. I also treat every home I visit with respect and care, keeping things tidy and just as I found them. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe, and getting lots of love and attention.

“This was my first time using Rover and I was super nervous because obviously my dog is my baby. I'm so grateful and impressed with Tracy and her going above and beyond to make sure my little guy is comfortable. Even down to sitting and having breakfast with him so he will eat his food ♥️ I would absolutely use Tracy again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much for giving me peace of mind so I could fully be present in my course and knowing that my dog was properly taken care of and was ok♥️”

About: About Me My name is Miranda, and I have over 20 years of professional experience working with dogs of many breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My background includes working with rescue dogs from a wide range of situations, with a strong focus on rehabilitation and behavior support. I previously worked as a Canine Behavioural Analyst with the Hamilton–Burlington SPCA, where I was responsible for assessing dogs and determining the most suitable home environment for each individual animal. This experience has given me a strong foundation in understanding canine behavior, stress signals, and individual care needs. I am happy to answer any questions and provide further details. Please feel free to reach out by message or phone. Home Environment Children live in the home and are respectful, calm, and experienced around animals. All interactions with pets are closely supervised, and rough or inappropriate behavior toward animals is not permitted. Maintaining a safe, calm environment for every pet in our care is a top priority. How We Care for Your Pet Dogs Dog Sitting While your dog is staying with us, we aim to replicate the structure and routine of their home as closely as possible. Feeding schedules, walk times, rest periods, and activity levels are customized to suit your dog’s individual needs. This approach helps reduce stress and allows dogs to settle into the new environment quickly and comfortably. Your dog will be cared for as if they were our own, and you will receive regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Special requests and care instructions are always welcome. Drop-In Visits Drop-in visits are ideal for short trips, busy days, or when your pet simply needs some extra attention. These visits take place in your home, allowing your pet to remain in a familiar environment. Services include feeding, backyard bathroom breaks, and plenty of affection and companionship. Dog Walks Perfect for busy but responsible pet owners. Walks are approximately 30 minutes in your local neighbourhood and provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation for your dog. Cats Cats are cared for exclusively in their own home. This allows them to maintain their normal routine with minimal disruption. Visits are customized to your cat’s needs and can include feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, with flexible availability and a focus on afternoons for walks, drop-in visits, and in-home care. This allows me to provide calm, attentive, and unrushed care while keeping pets on a consistent routine so they feel safe and comfortable. Care is tailored to each pet and the specific service being provided. For dog walks, I focus on safe, structured walks that suit the dog’s energy level and comfort, providing both physical exercise and mental stimulation. For drop-in visits with dogs and cats, care takes place in the pet’s home to maintain their normal routine. Visits include feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, basic cleanup as needed, companionship, and affection. I always prioritize calm, respectful handling and closely follow any instructions provided to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for

About: Hey! My name is Jenna and I’ve owned and looked after pets for pretty much my entire life! I’ve had dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits, and hamsters. You name it I’ve probably owned one at some point in my life and if I didn’t, then I probably wanted to! I have also been working with a dog and cat rescue for the better part of the last 12 years so I am well experienced in animals that may have some “quirks” as I like to call them such as anxiety, food aggression, etc! I’ve trained puppies and I’ve taken care of senior dogs so any animal at any age is safe with me! I am currently working Full time so Monday to Thursday I am gone from 7am to around 8pm and until around 4pm Fridays, weekends are definitely more free as that’s when I am off but I can definitely make it work weekdays as well! I am comfortable with crating animals if that is your routine and will ensure that the yard they are being let out into is safe and secure (ensure the fence didn’t get opened somehow, no one’s tossed anything in the yard etc). When walking your beloved fur babies I will ensure that they are walked how you’d expect them to be and that they are safe and well looked after during this time.

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs through friends, family, and neighbors. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I focus on providing consistent routines, exercise, and attention so dogs feel relaxed and happy while their owners are away. I work part time as well as I am in school! I I will do my very best to accommodate you and your dogs schedule :) We live in a corner townhouse with a large fenced yard. I love walking with dogs as well as I have my own puppy who loves to play.

I’ve worked at Kennels and shelters and have lots of experience with different dogs with different personalities. I have lots of training for administrating medication as well. I am going to school to become a professional behavioural dog trainer. I am 18, i have a car, i am very trust worthy and always kind to animals. I spend my time fishing, adventuring, riding horses, and training dogs! I spend most of my days at animal shelters spending time with dogs and cats. I help work with animals to improve their chance for getting adopted and having a better life outside of the kennel. I will feed, clean up after the animals, spend quality time, aswell as exercising and could even help train dogs. I will take great care of your lovely pets while respecting your home.

About: Hey there! A little about me.. I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Anyone who knows me knows I am a dog loving person. I am caring and responsible and I have a strong love for animals. I’ve raised dogs of different breeds. My friends and family trust me with their pets and my dogs are my babies. I love meeting new dogs and I’m looking forward to meeting yours! 🙂 I work a 14/14 rotation and when I’m not at work I like to spend my days outside doing activities which include lots of walks at three mile bend (Marley loves the river) and we do lots of walks around my neighbourhood. There are some really nice walking trails we like to explore. While I am home I have no obligations that will interfere with me caring for your pet. My house has a huge backyard that is completely fenced with nothing that puppies or adult dogs can get into. It’s well kept. My dog Marley, LOVES having friends over.

“Was able to help me last minute when I was sick and my husky was getting stir crazy. Showed up early for walk and was very polite. When Bruce came back he looked like he had an awesome time.”

I'm currently working part time and have time to do some short overnight stays with your dogs or stop in and play or walk your dog for the day if you're busy or won't be home till later in the day.

About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always loved animals. I have 6+ years of experience walking dogs, and providing long term care while owners are away. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes. Dog walking; I’d like to spend that time not only challenging myself, but challenging your furry friend to be as active as they can be, if no limits are required. A typical walk isn’t just around the neighbourhood- but through nature. Willing to provide my own route, or follow agreed-upon routes and schedules. Pick up any waste left behind, provide water and food/treats if needed. Pet sitting; Not limited to dogs- unlike most pet care providers, I strive to provide the absolute best service I can, for a small price. Willing to do short term to long term care if needed. Things I can do while pet sitting: Provide pets with fresh food/water, administering medication, cleaning out litter boxes/backyards, exercising pets as needed, groom pets if required, provide regular update to pet owners and notifying them of any noticeable illness/injury. I can surely do more! These are just examples of how I handle pet care 😊 I’m currently working a mixed schedule. But can be reliable to check up on your pets as soon as possible. Message me to chat about my availability as I only receive it a week in advance from work. When watching pets for my clients, I always make sure they are well behaved and happy with their environment. No animal should feel alone or mistreated.

About: I'm a mom to 2 boys, and we currently have two cats and a 2 year old dog. Walks are a favourite, and lots of play time and cuddles! I treat your babies like one of my own, I love forming that bond with your furbabies! I'm in the south end of red deer, but have a vehicle so I'm willing to drive if need be. I can't wait to meet your pets, and give them love and attention until their favourite person is back home to do it for them! I work from home so I'm available to drop in on your pets when the need arises! Walks are an excellent way to stay motivated on my health goals as well as providing excellent health benefits for your fur babies. I have a fenced yard at home, lots of toys and healthy treats, we do lots of play time! Activities suited to your pets personality is my specialty! I love creating that bond with them!
