House Sitting in Wetaskiwin

“Kristy was very enthusiastic, professional, and attentive to what I told her. She sent updates and even described their time together in detail. She also seemed very comfortable with my high energy dog. I'd definitely recommend her to others.”

About: I have been caring for dogs for friends, family and neighbors for several years. I am currently a dog mom to a 3 year old labradoodle that I love so much. I have done all her training (off leash, recall, commands, house training, etc) without a trainer and was extremely successful. I believe my dog has the absolute best life as we walk or run almost everyday and also goes on all my crazy outdoor adventures with me. I understand that life can be busy and work / life / travel balance is hard. I would love to help give your dog the love they need when navigating your busy life. My schedule is not consistent as I am currently in my final year of school and each week varies. I work mostly night shifts so I am available to let your animals out / walk them during the day time on days I do not have classes. I am flexible to the needs of each animal. If your pet is crate trained I am familiar with this. If your pet is not I am happy to accommodate their needs.

“Sam was attentive to my check-ins. She provided regular photos. Our pets looked relaxed and happy. With a 10 yr old dog, I wanted to ensure she was well looked after. Sam did an excellent job. I would book her again.”

About: I've grown up around animals my entire life and am Pet CPR trained. I'm also the person who stops strangers to ask if I can pet their dog, and my friends are convinced I'll end up as a cat lady with 10 dogs someday. Beyond loving animals, I'm reliable, attentive, comfortable administering medications, and committed to keeping pets safe, happy, and on their normal routine. Safe to say your pet will get plenty of love, attention, photo updates, and their vacation with me might just be better than your vacation!! I’m currently working part time over the summer as a nursing student. I’m very detail oriented, attentive, reliable, and genuinely thoughtful when it comes to animal care. As someone pursuing nursing, I've developed strong attention to detail, responsibility, and a caring approach that carries over into pet care. I'm attentive, reliable, comfortable administering medications, and committed to following routines and instructions to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m Pet CPR trained, and have had many pets with different personalities and needs. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and stress free. I provide plenty of supervision, exercise, affection, and regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I believe in treating every pet as if they were my own and creating a safe, loving environment. I currently have a cat, named pumpkin and I have a dog named Mazie who suffers with severe anxiety. Although it’s a challenge, my dog Mazie has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and animal behavior. Through training classes and working with her specific needs, I’ve gained experience supporting pets who need extra care.

“Was a pleasure meeting Pam and having her care for our dogs was the best decision. They were so comfortable with her right away. She took wonderful care of them and our home. My dogs have a new best friend. Not sure if they even minded we were gone. We will definitely choose Pam to care for our fur babies in the future without hesitation.”

“Jasmine has excellent communication with a wholesome heart, kind personality, and comforting way about her right from the first meeting. Jasmine stepped up beyond my expectation and was able to show positivity, compassion and maturity while also thinking ahead and outside of the box which proved to me that my pets were in good and very capable hands. Looking forward to choosing her to care for our pets in the future! Highly recommend.”

“We came home after a week holiday to three happy puppies. We received photos almost daily and our one puppy who has some quirks warmed right up to Brooke. We can not complain. Not only were Our puppies happy but our house well taken care of. We would recommend Brooke to take care of your puppies and home anytime.”

“We went with Lyra again for an extended weekend trip and honestly we couldn’t be happier. She communicates consistently and loves our dogs. Our home is always left in tip top condition and our girls are tired. She especially takes a lot of time and has so much patience for our dog with medical issues and leash reactivity. I will forever sing her praises from the rooftops. We adore you Lyra!!”

Caralyn A.

“Sara came and spent the weekend caring for our 3 dogs and 2 cats. She sent us pet pictures several times. Our pets always seemed happy and relaxed. The house was tidy when we came home. Sara was also kind enough to deal with a repair person while she was at our home. We will definitely use her services again in the future.”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. All of my own pets were adopted. Rescue animals hold a special place in my heart and helped build the foundation of my experience working with animals that have a wide range of temperaments, backgrounds, and needs. I’m often the person friends and family rely on when they need a trustworthy pet sitter, and I currently provide multiple dog walks daily for repeat clients. These households include small, medium, and large breeds, some with multiple dogs in the home. I focus on caring for one pet household at a time, which allows me to give each pet consistent attention and maintain their normal routine. I regularly care for dogs with very different personalities and energy levels—from playful puppies to calm seniors. I also have experience supporting dogs recovering from injuries, caring for pets that require medication, and working with anxious or reactive dogs. Animals tend to respond well to my calm, patient energy. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior, which helps me respond appropriately if a dog is unsure, stressed, or needs reassurance. My goal is always to maintain each pet’s normal routine and provide calm, consistent care so they feel safe and comfortable. I communicate clearly with owners, send regular updates and photos, and treat every pet and home with respect. Reliability is extremely important to me. Before the first booking, I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs so their day, walks, and care stay as normal and predictable as possible. Please request a meet-and-greet before new bookings to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. While dogs are my primary focus, I’m also happy to care for cats and make sure they receive the same attentive and reliable care. I’m available seven days a week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, making it easy to fit care around your schedule. My flexibility allows me to respond to your pet’s needs whenever they arise. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I communicate clearly with owners and treat every pet and home as if it were my own. I always share updates and photos so owners can see their pets are doing well and happy. I focus on caring for one pet household at a time, which allows me to give each pet consistent attention while maintaining their normal routine so they are comfortable. I take the time to understand each pet’s temperament, preferences, special needs, triggers and routine so they feel safe. During walks and visits, I stay attentive to their behavior and the environment, making sure they’re stress-free. In clients’ homes, I follow instructions carefully, respect routines, and maintain a calm atmosphere. If boarding a small or medium dog in my apartment, I am patient and maintain a calm environment with focus on supervision, routine, and structured walks. Please request a meet and greet prior to booking, to ensure you and your pets are comfortable and it’s a good fit for everyone.

About: Animals have been at the centre of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and cats, and I’ve shared my home with beloved cats for most of my adult life. Over the years I’ve also co-habited with small and medium dogs, cared for senior pets, and supported many animals through the last gentle stages of their lives. My professional background is in environmental science (35 years), a path I chose out of love and devotion to animals, wildlife, and the natural world. Outside of work, I spent years volunteering with animals — from supporting elephants and reptiles at the Valley Zoo to caring for over 70 elephants at an orphanage in Sri Lanka. I even trained one elephant, Devi, to paint using positive reinforcement. I’ve also cared for small exotic pets, including ball pythons and a garter snake. Today, I bring all of that experience into calm, compassionate, reliable pet care for dogs, cats, and small animals. I’m gentle, observant, patient, and very attuned to the emotional needs of animals — especially seniors or those who are shy, anxious, or needing extra support. Skills & Care Abilities: Administering medications with confidence: pills, injections, liquid meds via syringe, and puffers for dogs and cats Handling senior or special-needs pets with patience and gentleness Cat nail trims Dog bathing and brushing; cat brushing (hairless cat bathing and grooming) Experience with freshwater and saltwater aquariums Comfortable with reptiles and other small animals Master Gardener/Composter certified (City of Edmonton) — happy to care for plants, yards, and gardens as well Calm, confident, experienced around all animal personalities Clear communication and daily updates I’m recently retired, which allows me to offer steady, unhurried, fully present care for the animals I look after. When I’m not volunteering in Asia or Costa Rica, I work quietly from home doing computer-based volunteer work — which means your pet will have company, consistency, and a peaceful environment throughout the day. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to take dogs out for frequent walks, playtime, and pee breaks, tailored to their age and energy level. I’m equally happy to spend long, calm stretches with small dogs or cats curled up on my lap. I genuinely enjoy the simple companionship of animals, whether that means gentle snuggles, quiet presence, or attentive support for senior pets needing extra patience. My home routine is calm, predictable, and nurturing — ideal for pets who thrive with kindness, attentiveness, and a steady rhythm. Because I specialise in caring for cats and small dogs in their own familiar environment, my focus is always on creating a safe, calm, and reassuring experience for your pet while you’re away. In Your Home (House Sitting & In-Home Care) Your pet’s comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely — feeding times, walks, medications, bedtime rituals, favourite toys, and comfort preferences. I maintain a quiet, predictable environment, and I am attentive to small changes in behaviour, appetite, or energy level. I double-check doors, gates, and windows to prevent escapes I ensure safe handling during comings and goings I keep a tidy, hazard-free space I send regular updates with photos so you always feel connected I provide lots of gentle companionship, cuddles, lap time, and enrichment Cats and small dogs often bond quickly with me due to my calm presence and decades of experience. Drop-In Visits For drop-ins, I offer flexible, attentive care — feeding, litter cleaning, short walks, medication administration, brushing, playtime, or simply quiet company if your pet prefers. I take care to observe how your pet is feeling each visit and adjust my approach accordingly. Overall Approach With lifelong experience with animals — including senior pets, pets needing medication, and shy or anxious animals — I bring patience, reliability, and a gentle, steady energy. My background in environmental science and animal care has taught me to be observant, respectful, and attentive to detail. Your home and your pet are treated with the utmost care, respect, and kindness.

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to independent or senior cats, I adjust my approach to match each pet’s needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, litter care, and basic medications. I focus on keeping pets calm, safe, and on their usual routine, so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and always keep you updated. I work remotely, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets consistent attention, stick to their routines, and be available for walks, feedings, or check-ins throughout the day. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet. I follow your pet’s routine closely, keep spaces clean, and make sure they feel secure and stress-free. I’m attentive, reliable, and always prioritize your pet’s well-being. I’ll also keep you updated so you have peace of mind while you’re away.
