“Pauline took great care of Gus (cat) who was healing from a cat bite and was needing medication and lots of supervision. Pauline even started the build on Gus’s new catio, helping him get to his favourite place quicker…back to his favourite spot on the grass! Im not able to add photos so hope she shares the one of her and Gus outside by the new build. Thanks again Pauline!! Made being away less stressful. Look forward to booking with you soon.”
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.
“Abby is great- takes excellent care of my dog and cat. They both can be shy and are very comfortable with Abby. She even went the extra mile and stayed a few hours longer when my flight was delayed, which I really appreciated. When I finally walked in the door my pets were their relaxed, normal selves.”

“Jenna is fantastic! She went above and beyond for our two labs. She is so caring and obviously a big animal lover. We are so happy to have found her and can’t wait for her to hang out with Ruger and Remi again!”

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my enthusiasm and dedication to making sure every dog has a great time! I love playing with dogs, taking them for walks, and giving them lots of attention. I'm really good at following instructions carefully, so you can be sure I'll stick to your dog's routine and make sure they get their food, walks, and any medicine they need right on schedule. I'm also comfortable with basic training like reinforcing commands such as "sit" and "stay". I'm committed to providing a safe, fun, and caring environment for your furry friend! Rover is my full time job so I am always home, Starting with morning cuddles and potty breaks, followed by breakfast and playtime, mid-day includes quick outdoor trips and litter box duties, afternoons are for walks and checking on other pets, evenings involve dinner, longer play sessions, and relaxation, while nights end with a final potty break and ensuring everyone has fresh water and a comfy sleep spot. - Safe Play Areas: Create a safe, enclosed area where they can explore and exercise outside their cages. - Regular Walks: Take dogs for walks at least once or twice a day, - Playtime: Engage in play with toys like balls, frisbees, and tug ropes. Interactive play helps to build a bond and keep them active. - Training Exercises: Incorporate basic obedience training during walks and playtime to keep their minds sharp. - Dog Parks: If available and safe, take them to dog parks for socialization with other dogs.
About: I have been an animal person my whole life growing up with dogs and cats and learning how to care for them from a young age. This love has continued on with my own fur children I have 2 cats (6 and 4 years old) and a 2 year old 90lb Rhodesian Ridgeback dog who is super friendly and absolutely loves all humans and all dogs . I have experience with young to senior dogs and cats and also experience with animals who have complex needs. Your animal(s) will be loved and spoiled as if they were my own 🐶 🐈 I currently work Monday to Friday 8:30-4:30, I am available for pet care services after those hours and all day on the weekends 🐶 🐈⬛ As of right now I will only be offering drop in visits for cats and dogs, dog walking and occasionally house sitting at your house. I don’t have a fenced yard so daycare or boarding at my place is more challenging unless, your dog is small and also cool with cats and another dog (requests for this service will be pending until further discussion with you) Drop in visits will include making sure your pets have food, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime and lots of pets… topped off with a little treat.. as long as the humans say it’s ok. I have experience with on leash walking and off leash walking in designated areas… I will only do off leash after I have gotten to know your dog better after multiple walks and he/she has good recall and will stay around me
“Carmen was fantastic. Our 3 dogs were very happy when we got home. Carmen was very responsive and left our house in great condition. She went above and beyond, even going as far as to shovel our driveway off after a big snowfall! Would highly recommend Caremn to anyone looking for a house/pet sitter.”

“Chandra was wonderful! She was very accommodating and attentive to our doggies! She kept us informed and updated, sent photos and seemed genuinely concerned for our doggies and their well being. When we returned our dogs appeared very happy and contented and the house was well kept. Definitely hope Chandra will be available to us again in the future! We were very satisfied with her service!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely love spending time with them! From fun walks and playtime to keeping routines consistent, I make sure every pup feels happy, safe, and loved. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures or prefers slower, relaxed walks, I adjust to their needs. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means I have a very flexible schedule and lots of availability throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care during weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care since I’m home most of the time. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs! I have a fully gated backyard that provides a safe, secure space for pets to play, explore, and enjoy time outdoors. Your pet will always be supervised and cared for in a calm, loving environment. My home is a safe and welcoming space where your pet will feel comfortable, relaxed, and treated like family. My son loves to be outside playing fetch non stop with the dogs.
About: I have been around active working dogs my whole life but for the last 10 years i have owned my own dogs and lived an active life style with them. I am very passionate about 5 star care for dogs and strive to do everything i can to be able to let dogs enjoy things but keep safe while doing it. 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. I can take care of your dog(s) in any way you need, whether its playing ball or frisbee, short or long leashed walked, off leash activities or any sort of enrichment.
About: Ive had several cats and dogs from reactive to fun loving. I love them all and look forward to being able to make your animals comfortable while you're away. I work Monday through Friday 7 to 5 in Olds but I am available any time after that and on weekends I am free any time. I am unable to care for animals jn my home. However I am happy to walk or play with your pets in or around your home.
