Pet care experience

Experienced & Heart-Led Pet Sitter

While I'm new to Rover, I bring decades of real-life experience caring for both animals and homes. I'm committed to providing personalized, dependable care while building lasting relationships with the families I serve. I provide professional pet care services on Vancouver Island, BC, in the Okotoks/Calgary area and in communities along my travel route between British Columbia and Alberta throughout the year. If you're looking for a trusted sitter for one-time or recurring care while I'm in your area, I'd love the opportunity to connect. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality—from playful and social to shy, independent, anxious or sensitive. I create a calm, predictable environment where pets feel safe, respected and cared for, taking the time to read their cues and build trust at their own pace. I'm experienced caring for puppies, adult and senior pets, as well as pets with special care needs. This includes administering medications, supporting pets with mobility challenges, and providing calm, patient care for anxious, fearful or reactive pets while maintaining the routines that help them feel secure in their own familiar environment. My calm, observant nature allows me to notice subtle changes in behaviour, appetite or energy and I'll always keep you informed so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. I understand the trust involved in leaving your beloved pet—and your home—in someone else's care. I bring a reliable, respectful and detail-oriented approach to every booking. For overnight stays, I travel fully equipped with my own portable bed, bedding, towels and cooler, allowing me to settle in comfortably while keeping your home tidy and minimizing disruption. My goal is for both you and your furry family members to feel relaxed, comfortable and confident while you're away, knowing they're receiving compassionate, attentive care every step of the way. Additional Care Needs Please note: My Puppy Rate also applies to pets requiring additional time, attention or specialized care. This may include: 🐾 Puppies requiring frequent potty breaks, training reinforcement or close supervision. 🐾 Senior pets needing extra assistance with mobility, more frequent outings or medication administration. 🐾 Special-needs pets requiring medication, mobility support or individualized care. 🐾 Pets experiencing high anxiety, fearfulness or reactivity who benefit from a calm, patient approach and extra time to build trust. Every pet is unique, and I'm always happy to discuss your pet's specific needs before booking to ensure they receive the level of care they deserve. As a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Certified Natural Supplement Advisor, Energy Therapist and Certified Pet First Aid Provider, with ongoing education in Pet Wellness, I bring a unique blend of professional knowledge, practical experience and compassionate, heart-led care—treating every pet as if they were my own.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Cindy. She recently looked after our 8-month-old puppy, Lily Anne, and the experience exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we met Cindy, her extensive background in dog training gave us complete confidence that Lily Anne was in exceptional hands. It was clear that Cindy didn’t just provide pet sitting—she provided expert care, structure, and guidance tailored to a young puppy’s needs. When we returned home, we were greeted by a happy, healthy, well-exercised, and noticeably better-behaved puppy. Lily Anne clearly received plenty of love, attention, and consistent training while we were away. It was obvious that Cindy treated her as if she were her own. As an added bonus, we came home to a spotless house. Everything was immaculate, allowing us to relax and simply enjoy being reunited with Lily Anne. Cindy’s professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for dogs truly set her apart. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for outstanding pet care. Lily Anne absolutely adored her, and we will definitely be booking with Cindy again in the future.

I have known Cindy Walker for well over 20 years and can confidently attest to her integrity, reliability, kindness and just the fact that she is an overall amazing and loving human being. In both her personal and professional life, Cindy consistently demonstrates honesty, responsibility and respect for others. Her home has always been loved and well cared for. It is always tidy and welcoming, a reflection of her nature to always bring care, attention and love to everything she does. Cindy is someone I trust completely with my fur baby and believe me that is not something | do often as he is my life, and I don't trust many with him. I have never hesitated to ask her to be my dog Sam's guardian when the need arises because I know she will care for him as I would. I believe Cindy would make an excellent house and pet sitter. I can not speak highly enough of her as someone who is overqualified in the department of trustworthiness and dependability. I wholeheartedly recommend her for this opportunity.

Cindy provided safe, loving care for Brew when she dog sat for me. She has a warm, caring nature that makes both people and pets feel comfortable and cared for. Cindy is the type of person who goes the extra mile, communicates well, and treats animals like family, which would make for excellent customer service and peace of mind while Brew is in her care. What makes Cindy an awesome human being is her compassion, reliability, and the way she makes those around her feel supported and valued.
