Let's be fur-iends!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Dini, I am passionate about animals and I would love to be your furbaby's home away from home! What makes me a great choice for your petsitting needs is my extensive animal experience, knowledge, and high quality service. When your pet is in my care, I treat them like family, with love and respect as if they are my own 💚 EXPERIENCE I am a pet parent myself (Zoe and I are a package deal) and I have had family dogs and cats all my life. I have provided a loving temporary home for 16 foster animals (dogs and cats) of a variety of ages, sizes, and needs with a local rescue. I have also been petsitting and dog walking for others over the years. KNOWLEDGE My extensive knowledge of pets and their behaviour comes mainly from my time fostering, in addition to having completed: ✅ a pet first aid course ✅ a course on dog behaviour (for humans) ✅ basic obedience training for my own dog ✅ pet therapy training with my own dog 💚 I have worked one on one with dog trainers registered under the Alberta Force Free Alliance to help foster dogs overcome various challenges such as leash reactivity, resource guarding, and separation anxiety, so I am well versed in force free methods + using positive reinforcement. QUALITY CARE I will always go above and beyond to make your pet(s) as comfortable as possible. I will provide them with their regular routine and any specific instructions you give to meet their individual needs. You can expect that they will get lots of exercise through walks/park trips, enrichment activities, and down time to recharge, depending on their preferences and needs. Most importantly, I will shower them with as much love as they'll allow me to give, and send you regular updates on our adventures. Let me know if you'd like to schedule a meet & greet to confirm we are a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you :)

I always stress when leaving my dogs with new people, but Dini gave me peace of mind while watching my doggo! He loved her dog Zoe, and settled in nicely. I also received daily updates and photos which helped my separation anxiety, hah!

Thank you Dini! This our second time using Dini to watch our dog and he couldn’t be in better hands. I cannot recommend enough! It’s so nice to have one less thing to worry about when you travel. We always receive lots of pictures and videos and our dog seemed disappointed to be leaving his pal when we picked him up. If you want to know your dog is with someone who will take the best care of them we highly recommend Dini!

Dini was an awesome dog and house sitter! Jasper was so happy during our time away and really enjoyed the long walks and playtime with Dini and her lovely dog Zoe. She was conscientious,professional, very tidy and very loving. We received many updates every day which is so reassuring. I would highly recommend her! Thanks so much Dini and Zoe!!

RESIDENCE DOG Zoe is an approximately 7 year old rescue and has been with me for 5 years. Zoe has the most gentle, easy going, friendly, calm, and docile demeanour. She gets along well with cats, dogs, and humans, and will make an excellent four legged companion for yours. Note: I never board more than 2 dogs at a time in addition to my own to ensure quality care for all. However, if you would prefer that your dog is our only guest (if they are dog selective, for example) I would happily accommodate for an increased daily rate. ENVIRONMENT It's just Zoe and me, living in a spacious and clean 2 bedroom apartment. We have a massive fully fenced backyard, perfect for fetch lovers. We love to take advantage of our proximity to the river valley, off-leash trails and parks. Furry friends are welcome on couches and beds, unless you specify otherwise or provide a crate for sleeping. HOUSE-SITTING When we come to you, Zoe and I are on our best behaviour. I am responsible and clean, able to follow instructions well, and you can expect that your home will be left in the state it was found.

SCHEDULE & LIFESTYLE I take pride in my dog-mom lifestyle. Having a dog of my own means potty breaks, walks, park trips, and a lot of love is already built into my regular schedule! I hold a full-time hybrid job and often work from home. I am lucky to also live close to work, with a short commute allowing for more time with the animals on the days I am in the office. Your pet will never be alone for long when staying with me; they are my priority.
