Highlights
Pet care experience
Confident Dog Care for All Sizes
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.

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.
Ratings and reviews
Willow was incredible, she went above and beyond during her stay. We were a bit nervous as it was our first time leaving our dog with anyone but she was an amazing sitter. Extremely professional and communicative.
Willow has been so accommodating by working with me around my shift work schedule and what works best for my dogs needs. She’s quick to send pictures and videos to keep me updated and I know my pups are well taken care of in my absence. So grateful to have her nearby!
Willow was great she came and meet me and my pups before their first walk and she was super open to taking them for a nice big hike in our neighborhood! She was flexible and had great energy with both my dogs handling them with confidence
I have two dogs who couldn’t be more opposite from each other, and Willow manages them both incredibly well! She’s responsible, reliable, and always on time, and I genuinely couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. She’s wonderful with animals and treats them like they’re her own. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!
Willow is the BEST pet/house sitter I have ever had. She does what she promises to do and then some. She spends time and effort on your pet and cares for your home, unlike many that might show up for a few hours, if they show up at all. There’s no excuses or nonsense with Willow. Willow genuinely cares and is a very responsible person. You will have a care free time away, knowing that everything will be handled…she exceeds all expectations. Willow earned my trust and respect…I will not hesitate to have her pet/house sit again. She’s an all star, and wonderful person.

Schedule
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.

- 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
