About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.

“Logan responded quickly to my request to walk my dog while I was gone over labor day weekend. Logan was easy to communicate with and my dog was very well taken care of!”

About: I have hands-on experience fostering rescue dogs for the past two years—especially puppies. I’ve helped rehabilitate malnourished, abandoned dogs and guided them into loving forever homes. My own dog is a foster fail I nursed back to health at just 2 months old after she was found on the street. Since then, I’ve fostered an entire litter of five puppies, all of whom were successfully adopted. I specialize in caring for young dogs and have a deep understanding of their needs—whether it’s feeding, socializing, crate training, or just giving them the love and patience they deserve. That said, I truly adore dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m currently studying from home, so your dog will never be left alone, and I live near two fully fenced parks for safe, fun playtime. Since I’m studying from home, I have the flexibility and time to give dogs my full attention throughout the day. My own dog has set a great routine for me—morning walks, playtime in the nearby fenced parks, feeding, training moments, and lots of cuddles in between. I love staying active and making sure dogs are both mentally and physically stimulated. Whether it’s short potty breaks, long sniffy walks, or just hanging out together while I study, caring for dogs blends seamlessly into my day. In my home, pets have a cozy and safe environment to relax and play. I have a crate available for those who are crate-trained or need a quiet space to rest, along with plenty of toys to keep them entertained. I also have access to two fully fenced parks just a short walk away, perfect for playtime and exercise, plus a fenced front porch for fresh air and people-watching in a safe spot. I keep a clean, calm space and follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that means meal schedules, medications, or snuggle time. Your dog will be treated like one of my own!

About: I have experience taking care of boarding dogs and cats at an animal hospital. I worked for them for a little over a year and have gotten lots of experience with dogs and cats. I used to raise puppies and train them how to sit and have manners for about two years with my parent. I have dog sitting experience and house sitting experience. I am currently going to school at the UofA full time during the weekdays (my class schedule is listed below keep reading) and would be available most days to come and play with the animals for 30 minutes to an hour in the afternoons and overnight sitting. And on weekends I would be free to play with and walk the animals as needed. Class schedule: Mon 1pm-2pm Tue 9:30am-1pm then 3pm-5pm Wed 9am-2pm then 4pm-5pm Thur 9:30am-4pm Fri 1pm-2pm I do also have a job at the animal shelter for part time. That work schedule will vary but will be no more the 4-6 hours a day. Likely to be on the weekends to avoid conflict with school :) For my personal home, I will not be able to board any pets. Although I am very safe and responsible. My person pet uses a crate just for her safety when I am gone. I am good with crate training as needed for your pets as well. I make sure I clean up after every day and leave the house as clean as I can before you arrive back home to your happy animals!

“Morgan has been such a wonderful addition to Crosby’s ‘inner circle’ ☺️ From the very first meeting he took right to her and I can’t tell you how much peace it brings me knowing she is checking on my fur kid during the day. Both days I have come home from work to a happy and calm boy. Morgan is professional, organized, prompt and she has great energy. Thank you for being the best walker and for the incredible care you provide Crosby! ❤️”

“Ben is reliable and great with my dog! Ben follows my requests for how Myron needs to learn to walk and Myron always comes home happy. I'm glad we found Ben, he's really helped us out with walking Myron, who has a lot of puppy energy that can be overwhelming. Ben just stays calm and makes sure Myron is following the rules.”

“Breannae was great! She walked my dog while I was out of town. I had someone watching her at home, but wanted her to get exercise and interaction while I was gone. She sent lots of pictures and kept me up to date on how Bonnie was doing. Awesome job!”

About: Note: I will travel outside of my service radius for overnight/house sitting if my schedule allows. I provide personalized love and attention for your dog & cat to keep them happy and feeling loved. I have always been an animal lover and have been rescuing animals for almost as long as I can remember. I will give your four legged family member the same love and attention I give my own babies. I am proud to be owned by my rescue babies and they and those that have come before in my life have taught me many useful lessons and given me a great deal of experience. Special needs are not a problem at all for me, just tell me what your fur baby needs. I have worked with every size of dog from a tiny Yorkie to a large Irish wolfhound, no matter the size or the need they all get extra scritches from me. I also currently foster and volunteer with pacc so am constantly adding more knowledge to my bank of information. I believe animals can teach us everyday if we let them. Please know my house sitting rates shown here are for care where the dog can be left alone for 4 hours or more. I do offer services for dogs who can’t be left alone that long but the rate will be different. Pet care is my weekly routine I am focused on provided top notch care for all of my clients. I do rover full time and always work my schedule around the wonderful pets in my care.
