Willow can care for
Availability
I recently moved to Langford from Calgary in August and am hoping to do Rover full-time for the next few months to see how it goes. I have a pretty open schedule right now, so I’m available most days and times and can be pretty flexible with your pet’s routine. I may take on some online college classes in the future, but for now pet care is my main focus.

About Willow K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in their own home by following their routine as closely as possible. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and comfort level, whether that means active play, calm companionship, or giving them space. I make sure they are fed properly, have fresh water, get appropriate exercise, and feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m attentive to behaviour changes and always prioritize a low-stress, respectful approach.
Information Willow K. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know about any reactivity ahead of time, such as reactions to other dogs, squirrels, or other distractions, so I can plan walks and activities that keep your pet comfortable and safe. Additionally, it’s important for me to know about any special needs, medical considerations, or specific preferences you have for your pet’s care, as well as anything you’d like me to do or avoid. This helps me follow your routine closely and make sure your pet is comfortable, safe, and well cared for
A typical day
I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. For dogs, this can include walks, playtime, enrichment games, and time outside to explore and decompress. For cats, I offer interactive play, enrichment, or quiet companionship depending on what they enjoy. I also like to include mental stimulation and routine-based activities so pets stay engaged while still feeling comfortable in their own space.

Confident Dog Care for All Sizes
Pet care experience
I have lifelong experience with dogs, having grown up with both retrievers and an English Mastiff. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels and understand how to adjust handling, walks, and enrichment based on the individual dog. Through my work at Petland and my volunteering at the Calgary Humane Society, I’ve gained experience with a wide range of temperaments, from high-energy dogs to those who need a slower, more reassuring approach. I focus on consistency, positive interactions, and meeting each dog where they’re at.
Cat care experience
Willow also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Willow has been the BEST!!! She is always on time and is excellent with Cooper! She is super nice and a worderful person to know! She is very reliable and will treat your dog as if it’s her own! I can’t recimmend her highly enough! She is moving so we will miss her - especially Cooper!!! Best of luck in your studies Willow!!! ❤️❤️ Kate and Margie, and Anderson Cooper 💕
Willow is always wonderful with Gus!! She has stayed with him 2 times now in our home and each time Gus and our home has been extremely well cared for! (:
Willow is great! Very responsible and communicative. She treated our pets and home like her own. Willow is hard working and was helpful around the house, after leaving in a panic, we came home to an organized space!
Willow was excellent with our golden while we were away for a week! He was well taken care of, tired, and happy when we got home. (:
