Pet care experience
Calgary’s Dependable Pet Services
With five years of experience at Rover and a portfolio of private clients, I possess extensive expertise in caring for a diverse range of canine and feline companions, spanning various ages and sizes. Notably, I have had the pleasure of interacting with majestic Maine Coon cats and special needs dogs. My responsibilities have included administering medication, eye drops, and insulin injections to pets, as well as handling dogs exhibiting high levels of stress and anxiety, such as those that pull on leashes or react to other animals. Throughout my interactions, I prioritize providing affectionate care, mirroring the love and devotion I would offer to my own pets. Animals have been an integral part of my life since childhood; I volunteered at a pet shop at the age of 10 and have always shared my home with dogs, cats, and other creatures. Previously, I worked with Casca in Montreal, fostering cats and bottle-feeding kittens. Additionally, I have adopted a street dog and several cats, and friends entrust me with their pets due to my dependable and caring nature. I am confident that you will feel assured leaving your pet under my care.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize safety. Consequently, I do not walk dogs in temperatures below -20 degrees Celsius, as it is crucial for both your dog's and my well-being. Depending on weather conditions, I offer two options for dog walks: a visit to a securely fenced dog park where dogs can freely explore and interact, or a walk around the neighbourhood, according to your preference. Weather permitting, within a temperature range of up to -20 degrees Celsius, I provide off-leash dog walking services at an enclosed dog park, allowing dogs to engage in unrestricted running and socialization with other canine companions. During spring, summer, and fall, I also offer leashed hiking excursions in the mountains for dogs whose owners are interested, (weekends only). Alternatively, I can accommodate requests for neighbourhood dog walks, tailored to meet individual preferences. For an additional fee, I provide private, scheduled visits to an enclosed park facility in Airdrie, designed for dogs that require separation from others, thereby ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for dogs with reactivity issues.

Annie was wonderful with pet sitting our 2 rescue pups. She was super responsive, send us many updates and daily photos. We felt completely safe leaving our dogs under her care and will definitely be using her again. Thanks Annie!

Annie was great. Showed up on time, provided daily updates with pictures, left the house spotless and took great care of Chloe. Thanks Annie!
Annie took such good care of my two vizslas while I was away. They are hyper active dogs so it’s no easy feat. Her communication and transparency was so appreciated! Thank you Annie!
Annie was amazing! Sent a bunch of pics which always appreciate, and my dog Abbie warmed up to her so quick! She’s usually really shy with new people but by the second day was rolling over for belly rubs and sleeping with her haha couldn’t recommend Annie enough, will definitely be booking her again ☺️thank you Annie!
Annie was fantastic with my 2 dogs! My one dog is very shy with new people and she warmed up to Annie in no time at all! She sent me lots of updates and pictures throughout her stay which I appreciated more than you’ll ever know. It immediately set my mind at ease and I knew my girls were in great hands!

Schedule
As a full-time caregiver for individuals with special needs, my schedule consists of working Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, with occasional weekend shifts. To ensure the well-being of canine companions, I recommend arranging for a midday dog walker or someone to let the dogs out. When overnight care is required, I am available to sleep on-site. My standard dog care routine includes 30-minute to 1-hour walks, tailored to the dog's ability, or letting them out into the securely fenced backyard as per the owner's preference.
Prices include all fees.
