I grew up with both cats and dogs and was actively involved in their daily care and training. I have also provided pet sitting in my own home for many years.&nbsp;I now have a small parrot, I currently offer pet care services in clients’ homes instead. I’m very comfortable around animals and have always had a natural ability to connect with them, including pets that are shy or nervous around new people. I’m confident handling and walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments.I work from home and do not have a strict full-time schedule, which allows me plenty of flexibility and time to provide attentive care. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.I offer drop-in visits and walks where pets will be fed, given fresh water, and socialized with. I’m also happy to care for additional pets in the home, including many exotic animals.

Hi there, cat lovers! I’m a lifelong cat mom and photographer who is genuinely in love with everything feline. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of personalities—from playful cuddlers to shy little hiders—and I know just how much peace of mind matters when you’re away from home.
When you book me, you’re not just getting a cat sitter; you’re getting a dedicated pro for both your fur baby and your house. I’m your eyes and ears on the ground! I’ll keep you posted on absolutely everything happening at home: whether a package arrived, maintenance popped by, or anything else comes up. You’ll also get a complete daily update on your cat’s well-being—from their mood and appetite to whether they’ve been using the litter box as usual. And of course, expect a high-volume gallery of gorgeous photos and videos every single visit!
Every cat is unique, and I completely respect their boundaries. If your kitty is super introverted or hides under the bed, don’t worry—I never force interactions or pressure them. Instead, I takes things slow: I’ll gently chat with them, offer tasty treats, try interactive toys, or just sit nearby so they know they’re safe. I’ll keep trying gently every day to build trust at their own pace, making sure they never feel lonely or abandoned.
I offer complete, personalized care tailored exactly to your instructions. I’d love to take care of your home and give your furry family member the royal treatment! 

Hi! I’m a new pet sitter who is excited to start building connections with pet owners and their furry family members. While I’m just getting started professionally, I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pet when you can’t be there.
As I build my experience, I’m committed to providing reliable, caring, and attentive service to every pet I look after. I know that every animal has their own personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.
My pet-sitting services can include feeding, providing fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, litter box care, and keeping your pet company. Visits can typically be around 30–60 minutes, depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to care for friendly dogs, cats, and other household pets, as long as their needs are within the services I offer.
Because I’m new to pet sitting, I’m especially focused on earning your trust and providing a positive experience. I’m responsible, patient, communicative, and happy to send updates during visits so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet and become someone you can count on for future pet-sitting needs!&nbsp;


Heyy!! My name is Valeria, and I’m a 21-year-old university student with a lifelong passion for animals. I’ve grown up around all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, lizards, and even horses, so I’m comfortable caring for animals with different personalities and needs. I’ve been pet sitting throughout the Edmonton area for over two years and have built wonderful relationships with both pets and their owners. I also have multiple references available upon request.My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s going on long walks, playing, feeding, administering routines, or simply giving them plenty of attention and companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own.When providing house sitting services, I take pride in respecting your home just as much as your pet. I always clean up after myself, wash any sheets and towels I use, and do my best to leave your home exactly as I found it or even better. I also have extensive experience caring for pets with special medical and mobility needs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, eye and ear drops, topical treatments, and insulin injections for diabetic pets, always following each owner’s instructions carefully. I’ve cared for dogs with disabilities, including those with paralyzed hind legs, and have experience assisting with mobility harnesses and other mobility aids when needed. I understand the extra patience, compassion, and attention these pets require, and I’m committed to ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Every pet, regardless of their age or medical needs, receives the same dedicated, attentive care as if they were my own. I also offer basic grooming and can help reinforce or teach basic training and good manners if requested. My house sitting services are flexible and can range from just a couple of days to a month or longer, depending on your needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I strive to provide dependable, loving care that gives you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! 

ABOUT ME
I provide personalized care with an emphasis on positive reinforcement, mental enrichment, and each pet’s individual routines and preferences. I pay close attention to behaviour and body language and adapt my approach to help each pet feel comfortable in my care.
I have 18 years of experience with dog walking, cat sitting, boarding dogs in my home and helping raise and train family dogs from puppyhood. I am very familiar with positive reinforcement training and the importance of maintaining each pet’s established routines and training cues rather than introducing conflicting methods.&nbsp;
I enjoy providing both physical exercise and mental enrichment through activities such as scent games, training exercises, outdoor walks and interactive play. I also provide detailed updates so you know how your pet is eating, behaving, and spending their time while you’re away.
SERVICES
If you would like 2 or more drop-in visits per day, please book with me through the '2x Home Visits' service. 
SCHEDULE
I have a flexible work schedule that I adjust around pet care, which means I am available for walks and drop-in visits on weekdays. I also provide services on evenings and weekends.&nbsp;
I am typically available between 7am and 7pm. 
Please allow for a 15-minute arrival window. 
ENRICHMENT OPTIONS
I can provide a variety of enrichment activities for your kitties:
- Personalized playtime
- Treat puzzles
- Handmade toys
- Scent enrichment through catnip, silvervine, honeysuckle, and other cat-safe herbs 

 I've had pets for as long as I can remember. Throughout my childhood I've had birds, lizards, and fish. While my experience with those animals is minimal, my familiarity with cats is my strong suit. I've always had at least one cat in the household, and have history with a very energetic labradoodle. 

 I have no problem walking your animals sun, rain or snow, within reason of course. My schedule is incredibly flexible offering longer hours weekends and weekdays but have fewer available spots per day due to transportation limitations. I can keep calm and quiet for the more shy, laidback pets. I offer overnight stays in the pets own home as well as drop-in visits and thirty minute walks within the Edmonton city. My note taking is thorough and I strive to follow any given instruction as best I can. I want to cater to your pet in every way to comfort them as I know times like these can be very stressful.

Hi, I’m Amanda! I’m an Edmonton-based pet lover who grew up with dogs like Xuxa, Samantha, Bernardo, Duda, Paçoca, Minnie, and Ripley. Beyond my childhood pets, I have independent experience pet-sitting, including caring for two of my previous neighbors' cats.I offer reliable services tailored tightly to your pet's established routine:* Dog Walking ($19 for 30 min / $25 for 1 hour): A typical walk involves exploring a nearby neighborhood park for fresh air and sniffing. Safety is my top priority: I use a secure leash, stay highly aware of our surroundings to avoid reactive situations, and always check weather and pavement temperatures.* Drop-In Home Visits ($25 for 1 hour): Perfect for feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter, and interactive play like fetch.I carefully adapt to different pet behaviors. If your pet is nervous, I take things slow, sit on their level, and use their preferred treats to build trust. For safety, I always request your emergency vet contact info beforehand. You can also expect seamless communication from me—I love sending regular message updates and plenty of cute photos during every single visit or walk!Feel free to message me to discuss how I can support your furry family members!

Hi! My name is Risha, and I have been around animals since childhood. Growing up, I was always the one who would stop to pet dogs, learn their personalities, and make sure they felt safe and loved. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and trustworthy caring for your pet when you’re not available. I know how much love and concern goes into choosing the right person, and I take that responsibility very seriously. When caring for pets, I like to keep their routine as normal as possible. I follow feeding schedules carefully, make sure they always have fresh water, and provide daily walks and playtime suited to their energy level. Some dogs love long, active walks, while others prefer calm strolls — I adjust based on their personality. I also make sure they get enough rest, comfort, and mental stimulation so they feel relaxed and secure.
I pay close attention to their behavior and body language, especially if they’re shy, senior, or adjusting to a new environment. If needed, I can administer basic oral medication and will always maintain a clean, safe space.
For everyone’s safety, I only accept vaccinated pets. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away.
