Dog Sitting in Sylvan Lake

About: I have been a dog owner for a majority of my life and I have done what ever is needed to take care of them. I will feed, play, bathe, walk, give medicine, and take outside to potty. Essentially whatever is asked for me I will do. I currently volunteer with therapy dogs in a hospital and I love it! Would love to bring my skills and passion to animal owners every where. I do work full time however, weekends I am free including Friday evening and I know that may be hard to get as people travel on the weekend. I live in a safe and dog friendly neighborhood! I have a big home they can explore in. I truly watch the animals as when they move I move.

About: Hello, my name is Tosha! As a lifelong animal lover and sitter for 3+ years, I understand your pet is family. From energetic hikes with big dogs to quiet cuddles with shy cats, I ensure they're happy and safe. I'm experienced with meds, complex feeding schedules, and love creating fun, safe adventures for pets, just like I would for my own 3 cats and 2 dogs. Let's chat about giving your furry friend the best care! :) I work a standard 8 am-5 pm job, Monday through Friday. I don't mind staying the night during weekdays. I also do not mind coming before work in the morning to show love and care for your pets, as well as coming over after work for as long as you need. The weekends I'm free 24/7. I view pet care as a privilege that requires both a compassionate heart and a vigilant eye. My approach is rooted in providing a 'home-away-from-home' experience where your pet feels safe, seen, and truly loved. I don’t just offer supervision; I offer companionship. By honoring their unique personality and strictly following their established routines, I ensure they remain happy and stress-free while you are away. Your pet’s safety is my priority, and their happiness is my passion.

About: I’m a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 5 years of hands-on experience working in a specialty hospital, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and medical needs. I’m trained to notice subtle changes in behavior or health and can handle medications, special diets, and extra attention with confidence. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. My schedule is consistent, and I work five days a week, which means I’m available for drop-in visits on weekends and dog walking on weekdays after 4 PM. This allows me to provide reliable evening walks during the week and more flexible, attentive care on weekends when I have additional availability. I’ll always communicate clearly and make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. As a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 5 years of experience in a specialty hospital, I’m held to high professional and ethical standards every day. Pet owners trust me with their animals’ health and safety in a clinical setting, and I bring that same level of responsibility and attention to detail into pet sitting. I’m trained to handle emergencies, follow care instructions precisely, and recognize when something isn’t right. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in capable, reliable, and compassionate hands.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs and cats all my life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and I understand the importance of patience, care, attention and responsibility our fur babies deserve. As a medical student I balance my academic responsibilities carefully and I am highly organized to make sure every pet receives attention, exercise and companionship during my visits. I run and walk in safe areas, if the owner is comfortable in certain area I would definitely compromise and be where the dog parent is happiest.

“Autumn did a great job dropping in on our young cat while we were away for 2 nights. This was our first real trip leaving him home, and her updates after each visit we’re so helpful. She even dragged my husband’s golf clubs inside when they showed up 3 days earlier than they were supposed to be delivered ? We will definitely use her service again whenever we have to travel without Zeus.”

I’ve grown up with dogs and am comfortable with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and routines — from playful puppies to laid-back older dogs.

About: I have rescued three dogs from the humane society ranging from 2 months to 5 years in age. I have done a lot of research on what is and is not good for most dogs as far as diet and nutrition. I am in good athletic shape and can handle any size dog confidently and know how to deal with situations calmly and safely if they arise. My dog is not just my pet he's part of my family and I would treat yours the same. I own a small local landscaping company leaving me plenty of time to focus on my passion for animals.

About: I've loved and had a few dogs during my lifetime. I've since lost them years ago, but my love for them will never die. I have a big heart and would love to share the love. My daughter is especially excited when she sees dogs or cats. We have a few stray cats around our building and she loves to see them. She is the only child and having pets around would be such a entertainment booster. Shes 8 so she's definitely aware of them. Plus we could get more exercise!! Win win for everyone. Your pet will be well cared for and anything special they may need will be taken care of as long as we're instructed to do so. I can't wait to see your fur baby soon!

“Scott goes the extra mile to make sure our skittish cat is well taken care of. She is afraid of everyone - but she has warmed up to Scott. I highly recommend Scott - he’s an excellent pet sitter!”

I volunteer walking dogs at the local animal shelter and have various certifications through my training with them. I currently devote all my time to walking dogs, watching dogs, and volunteering with dogs. I will travel up to 10 miles away from my home, more upon discussion. I will come to your home and be there with your dog as often as necessary. I can spend time in your home with your pet, feed them, walk them and stay overnight.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, and from a young age, I was the one happily taking on the responsibility of feeding, walking, playing with, and comforting them. What began as a childhood passion has grown into a lifelong commitment to animal care. As a professional pet sitter with over 5 years of experience, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—whether that means sticking to a detailed routine, providing extra cuddles, or calmly managing medications or special needs. In addition to my professional background, I’ve spent over 10 years volunteering in animal shelters and fostering both cats and dogs in my home, which has given me hands-on experience with pets from all walks of life. I’ve cared for animals at every stage, from bottle-fed infants and kittens to senior pets. I'm experienced with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs and can administer medications in all forms: pills, liquids, and injections—even to those clever pets who try to avoid them! I know leaving your pet in someone else's hands can be difficult, but my goal is to provide peace of mind while you're away. You can count on me for reliable, compassionate care tailored to your pet's unique personality and needs. My schedule is highly flexible, and I have a wide range of availability. I can take on any task from 15 minute drop-in visits and walks to overnight stays. For your dog(s), I will provide fun walks with plenty mental and physical stimulation. If the weather does not allow for walks, your dog will get plenty of indoor playtime to burn off energy after getting their potty time. For cats, I'll provide interactive play time (if they like that) as well as cleaning litter boxes daily. For all pets, I will refresh their water and provide treats and/or meals, as directed.

About: I've had animals all my life- 3 cats, 2 dogs, 1 guinea pig, 3 hermit crabs, and numerous fish. I now also cat sit for my neighbor and friends when they go on vacations or trips ranging from a day to a week. I make sure I spend lots of time with their furry friends so they don't get lonely and they get the care they need. I am currently in college and working part-time (usually mornings on Thursdays and on Fridays), but my schedule allows me for ample time to check in on the furry buddies on my available days or the nighttime. I love to give my animals lots of cuddles and kisses. I make sure to give them long amounts of pets and love. If a storm is going on, I always make sure to turn on calming animal music and talk them through it. I treat animals like they are people and someone who needs care and love.
