“She was very responsive and did exactly what she was supposed to do. She was even very friendly with my cat!”

“Logan was great! I have three dogs who can be a handful and a large dog who gets nervous around new people, but Logan handled them so well and my dogs all came back happy and tired.”

“Thomas has been a godsend with a very busy Aussie pup and my older gal. They're at the door as soon as they hear his car turn the corner and are returned happy and ready for a nap although the puppy would follow him home if given a choice.”

About: I've been taking care of pets for neighbors and family friends for the past 4 years, and loved every second of it! I've been able to cuddle with puppies while watching a movie, wrestle with some teens pups and begrudgingly let them win, and I've taken calm walks around the backyard with a senior dog. I'm currently doing school online, so my days are spent mostly at home, perfect for house sitting and sunset walks! On weekends, my schedule is completly free! I do have some Sunday morning commitments, as I work childcare for my church, but it has a flexible schedule for whatever you or your furry friend might need! I love to match the energy of pet and owner, so I can always provide the best experience. I'm able to lounge with some calm cats or play in the yard with some energetic puppies. I can take walks around your neighborhood, or go for drives if that's your pets vibe. In the end, if the pet is happy then so am I 😊

“Maggie was absolutely amazing! If I could give her 6 stars I would. From the moment we met her we could tell how caring she was and how much she loves animals. She was so good with our little chihuahua and was amazing about sending updates with photos and videos. We are so thankful we found Maggie and hope to work with her again in the future. If you are looking for someone to take good care of your fur baby, look no further! Maggie is hands down the best!❤️”

“Ben is awesome. Totally reliable and did great with our 3 dogs, especially the Belgian Malinois, who is not the easiest dog to walk. He does a great job, highly recommend.”

About: I have a chocolate lab back home that I miss dearly, but while I'm in college I'd love to spend my free time loving and caring for your babies! I’ve been a pet person as long as I can remember. From the day I met my kitten Percy at age nine to the moment I brought home my puppy Lois, animals have been the center of my world. My passion is to now provide your pets with the same level of devotion I give my own. I've spent a great amount of time training my pets and can contribute to maintaining your training process as well. I pride myself on adaptability with each pet and their owners, catering to your pet's age and energy levels. This can vary from long walks with some running, to gentle strolls and a quiet environment. I have experience with my dog being in heat as well as older dogs that need extra care. I can also provide any medications needed for mouth, ears, or paws with treats and calmly talking to the baby. Lastly, I have experience with reactive dogs, this includes hyper awareness of our surroundings on walks and creating distance for comfort, also always carrying treats with me for positive reinforcement and a reward after walks. While I don't have a car, I'm conveniently located near a reliable shuttle to the UofA campus where I spend most of my time for classes! For non-boarding services, I ONLY accept bookings within walking distance of my home or near the UofA area. My light daily routine—usually just a class or work shift—gives me plenty of flexibility to give your pet constant attention, regular check-ins, and lots of quality cuddle time so they feel right at home with me. I live in a gated community with a large amount of pets living on the property, there's a community yard area that wraps around the buildings with many spots for dogs to do their business. I'll also be walking them around the gated neighborhood if they need longer walks. I also have a back porch leading to the yard area where I can sit with your pet to relax and spend time outside. Your pet will always be supervised if outside since we have no fence.

About: I’ve had furry friends my entire life, and have been taking care of other people’s pets since I was 13. Pet sitting is not just a hobby for me but passion that started my own childhood home. Having dogs in my own home, and thinking how I’d want a sitter to treat my doggie, I will be sending lots of photos, having clear communication with owner, and always be available to call if the owner needs to contact me on a doggie matter. I can take care of furry friends nearly everyday out of the week, although I am currently in collage and my schedule is Mondays and Tuesdays from 8:15 to 2:45. I do not have any pets at my house, so if your furry friend does not do well with other dogs it’s a perfect fit. If a dog is quite energetic and social we will go on lots of walkies to tire them out so there not missing out!

About: What sets me apart is my professional experience working at a doggy daycare, where I manage multiple dog breeds, sizes, and temperaments daily. This hands-on role has trained me to expertly read pet body language, prioritize safety, and confidently care for both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets. I also provide dedicated drop-in care for cats, ensuring your feline friends get the precise feeding, litter box maintenance, and attention they need. I am highly comfortable reinforcing training commands, managing leash pullers, and following strict care routines. With my professional background, you can rest assured your dogs and cats will be safe, happy, and well-loved! Even as a college student with a part-time job, I maintain a highly flexible schedule that allows me to easily adapt to your pet's regular routine! I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-ins, and walks, and I love structuring my day around making sure your pup gets the attention they deserve. Just let me know what specific timeline works best for your family, and I am happy to coordinate my routine to ensure your pet is fully cared for. Safety is my top priority on every walk. I always stay aware of my surroundings and follow any special instructions from pet owners. I make sure dogs stay in safe areas, avoid hazards, and get the right amount of exercise based on their needs. Trust and comfort are key, so I take the time to make each dog feel at ease while ensuring they have a fun and safe experience.

“Jenn was great with our yellow lab Zane, she walked him every day for a week and sent great photos. She’s extremely prompt in communication and we definitely hope to utilize her services regularly!”

About: I've been walking, training, and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes for over 10 years. I currently work as a zookeeper full-time. Animals are my passion and I have very high standards of care for every animal I am responsible for. I have experience with (and am actively continuing my education on) Cooperative Care and basic obedience training using positive reinforcement. I have a senior dog of my own and have had special needs dogs in the past, so I am happy to work with dogs that need a little extra care. My main availability is Tuesday-Thursday, but I can occasionally accommodate other days. Feel free to reach out and we can see what we can work out! How I care for pets is fully tailored to my client's needs. I prefer to have a meet and greet with new clients and their pets to get to know you both and go over any important details of their care. I do not feed any treats or food that are not approved ahead of time. I'm educated on signs of fatigue in dogs and am careful to not overwork the dogs in my care (especially in this summer heat).

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was old enough to provide the necessary care of my own pets at home without my parents assistance at around age 9. At home currently I take care of a pitbull, 2 chihuahuas, a cat, and a bunny! I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for animals and my favorite part about them is that each animal has their own unique personality. I’m an athlete who loves the outdoors and going on runs, so I tend to do great with energetic pets. I do dog sitting and cat sitting for neighbors and family near me and have stayed at some of their homes for days at a time. I’m currently waiting for my college courses to begin and have a pretty flexible schedule. I am always available in the mornings and can always make time in the afternoons from Monday to Sunday depending on a pet owners needs. I feed my pets as advised by their vet. I feed my dogs 3 times a day, my cat eats 2 times a day and my bunny eats 3 times a day. I try to take my dogs on a walk twice a day or they join my parents on their afternoon walks. I shower them every 2-3 weeks depending on how dirty they get and wipe my cat often as she is always outside. In clients homes I have walked their dogs, played with them, fed them specific amounts, gave medication, and cleaned up after them.

About: My whole life has been around animals including 2-3 dogs in my household, caring for a guinea pig, and loving on my friends’ cats. We raised several dogs from 6 week old puppies to their senior years. Since moving out on my own I have had the opportunity to dog sit for all ages of pups. I have also always taken a special interest in volunteering at local animal shelters. I would love the chance to look after and love your animal like my own. I recently moved to the area and have time before my program starts. My days are all about learning the area and preparing for classes so my availability is extremely flexible. Would also love to build relationships that can continue once my program starts and I can be a regular part of your pets life. I have reliable transportation and can be available most times of day. Not currently offering in home service but could be flexible for returning clients!

About: I’ve been a groomer for 14 years now. I know everything from safety procedures, to behavioral procedures. I know how to bring any shy dog or cat out of its shell! I have learned a lot over the years so I’m positive that your pets will feel safe and best of all happy as can be with me! I make my own work schedule so whatever day or time you need, I’ll be there! I’m never too far so if your pup needs a daily walk or your kitty needs a friendly visit, easy peasy! If your pup is staying in my home, rest assured, your four legged child will have plenty of potty breaks! I have a fenced yard that is inside a gated community! My walls are also very tall so no worry of jumping! If for some reason your pet needs to be in a crate, I can accommodate that. I have a spacious home and comfy living quarters! I am also AKC certified so I have all the safety boxes checked!

About: I have had dogs of my own since I was born. 24 years of animal care experience and ready to care for your furry friend! I am currently getting my Degree online for software development and looking for a way to be make some extra money while giving some babies the care they deserve while their owners are busy :) I have 4 dogs of my own. They are all very well taken care of, fed, and loved. They have their own safe space which is a play pen which has the door open because although they like to sleep in there they are allowed to come and go inside as they please :) They are allowed on the couches and love to snuggle up :)

“Very nice to my babies, they absolutely love her! Will always rebook with Miss Mea!!”

“Helene was great! Very responsible, responsive, and thorough. And Stuart loves her! :)”

About: Like most reasonable people, I’ve loved animals my whole life. I spent many Saturdays as a young adult just hanging out and volunteering at the animal shelter because it made me so happy. I think what sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m very patient, self-aware, and I’m not easily grossed out. I’ve sat still for hours waiting for an animal to trust me enough to approach me. I make sure to read their bodies before extending my hand, and I am conscientious of making noise because I want them to be comfortable. I don’t have a weak stomach when it comes to shedding, drool, or accidents. I am a substitute teacher for elementary schools in the area and I work when I can, but there are many days when there are no listings available, or that I’m working partial days. I’m generally pretty free. I will follow the direction and guidelines of the pet owner to keep the animal safe. I am a cautious person and would not let somebody else’s pet outside without a harness or secure fence unless otherwise directed.

About: I’ve grown up in a household where pets are family. I believe in making all fur babies lives full of love and enrichment and commit myself everyday to being the best dog mom I can be. Having a dog of my own, I’ve already committed to 3 outings a day so bonus if you’d like our dogs to meet and they can interact. We wake up early to catch that crisp morning air, and now that summer is upon us, late night walks have become very exciting. I’m always looking for the best/safest routes and parks! My 3 year old fur baby loves the extra company. I am able to provided pet care in the clients home. I follow all instructions given to me and will always stay in communication. I never have dogs off leash outside of the home and I am trained with commands and body language.

About: I grew up with dogs of all kinds as well as cats my whole life and have done dog walking for the past 5 years and dog sitting for the past 4. I’m now a student who misses hanging out and going on long walks with her dog and would love to hang with your fur baby! I’m currently a student at the U of A and take my classes online so I have a super flexible schedule during the days and even on weekends! I can easily crate your dog if needed and am more than happy to send you photos and videos of your pet while on walks or when I check in if you’d like that!
