Top cities for house sitting in Canada

Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your Highwood home while you are away.

House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like Highwood.

At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.

The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your Highwood home is also being looked after as well. 

In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.

Hello! I'm Kate, a university student currently at the University of Calgary. I had a previous pawshakes account, and the reviews are posted in the pictures. I have been dog sitting for about 2 years and I love it! I love animals, taking care of them, going for adventures and soaking up as much cuddle time as I can get. If you book with me you can be sure that your dog will be getting a lot of exercise, tons of playtime, attention and will be in perfectly safe hands. 
My services are only for overnight dog sitting. However once a client becomes regular I am open to other services as well. We will go for long walks, play, and sleep. I have experience training and grooming, and I absolutely love brushing dogs. 
Dogs and other animals fill up a big part of my life, since I am a student I cannot afford having any animals myself, and savour every moment I can get with them. I can promise you I will treat your animal(s) as my own, and I will make it my number one priority that they are living the best life they can when you are away. You can also be sure that I will keep you updated with pictures throughout the day, so you can be comfortable leaving them, knowing they are well cared for. 

As a pet owner for most of my life and a horseback rider I have many years of caring for animals. I own a Pitbull so I am familiar with bully breeds/high energy dogs and a two rescue dogs so also familiar with rescues. Spent most of my life surrounded by horses and dogs and I have official pet first aid training through Ruffined K9 and I have given needles to animals in the past. I love exploring new places so your dog will get to go on a new adventure every day. I can also offer horse care/exercise, please send a message of this is something you need.
I am currently taking care of dogs full time. I would be happy to take your fur children for some adventures and my dog loves having walk buddies as well as friends around our home. Two of my dogs are older and my pitbull loves puppies and younger dogs to play with as well as teach them some manners gently. My youngest is high energy and loves to play with all dogs.

My house has a large fenced yard and there is a dog park at the end of the street. We also frequently go to Sue Higgins off leash. House has plenty of space if dogs might need to be separated for any reason.

I am Talvir D and let me tell you a little bit of who I am. I specialize in training big dogs such an cane corso’s, I work with separation anxiety, aggressive behaviour, anxiety triggered aggression, pulling while walking, patience cues, anything and everything correlated with behaviour development. I’m extremely proud of what I do and my abilities to deliver on what I promise I say that very confidently. A lil bit more about myself, I am currently attending mount royal university and trying to complete my degree in Athletic Therapy, my goals in the future are to obtain my degree and become a physiotherapist. I love athletics and the outdoors to be honest anything to do with being active. I myself have be heavily involved in sports from a very young age and just more of a outdoor kid rather than inside playing games. that being said i continued to excel in every sport I played such as basketball, volleyball, and track/field. I have competed at a high level in each of the mentioned sports, I played all through high school and achieved a ton of experience and enjoyed it to the fullest. I personally also am very passionate in the rehabilitation and rehab side of athletics as well as the competition at a elite level. I took 3 years of sports medicine and loved each and every moment of it, allowed me to not only become a better athlete but allowed me to help fellow teammates with injury assessment and rehab. I have been nominated for athlete of the year and continue to peruse basketball at a post-secondary level. I am heavily involved within the community with charity events to help the less fortunate and in the end grow as a community. Taking care of dogs just seems like the ultimate job to have fun and be happy.

The back yard has 3 separate areas all fenced off, main area largest space 6ft fence grassy. Smaller area with 4ft fence and stone ground. And large areas grassy 4ft fence. All areas are for dogs to have their own areas to play and if needed me separated.

Inside carpet in living room just got it steam cleaned so please let me know if your pup isn't house trained. Hallways and kitchen is tiled, basement is also carpet but they won't be downstairs unless it's really hot upstairs and they need to cool off. 

Hi, my name is Valsi Almeida. I recently graduated in Veterinary Medicine in Brazil, and I am currently enrolled in the Veterinary Assistant Office program at Bow Valley College to improve my English skills and gain more experience. I have a deep passion for animals and strive to provide the best possible care for them. I have 20 years of non-professional experience as a pet owner and, professionally, 1 year of experience in home care for various types of pets, as well as 3 years of internships in veterinary clinics, I come with letters of recommendation from the places I've worked.

As a pet sitter, I offer personalized services to meet the specific needs of your furry friend. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and, of course, lots of love and attention. I am available to care for dogs, cats, and other pets, providing them with a familiar environment while you are away. My motivation to be a pet sitter goes beyond my professional training. I believe that, like us, pets deserve individualized care based on love and dedication. My experience in veterinary medicine has taught me the importance of a familiar environment for the mental and physical health of pets. Being a pet sitter is my way of not only providing basic care but also offering the love, comfort, and personalized attention that each one deserves.
I offer pet-walking (30 minutes) and pet-sitting services. Unfortunately, I am not currently offering boarding and petcare services in my home. I have knowledge of administering oral and injectable medications.

Welcome to my pet care service! I'm Amy, and I'm passionate about bringing joy to every dog's life. With a deep love for these wonderful companions, I understand the bond between pets and their owners and the importance of providing them with the care and affection they deserve.
My journey in pet sitting and walking began with my cherished dog back in my home country.

As a dedicated pet lover with a deep passion for animals, being a pet sitter is not just a job for me, but a calling. I believe that pets are beloved members of our families, and they deserve the highest level of care and attention when their owners are away.
With years of experience in pet care, including volunteering at local animal shelters and fostering animals in need, I have honed my skills in providing exceptional care for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. I understand the unique needs and personalities of different animals, and I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for them.
One of my top priorities as a pet sitter is the health and safety of the pets in my care. That's why I require all pets to be up-to-date on vaccinations to ensure the well-being of both the visiting pets and those in my home. This policy ensures a healthy and secure environment for all furry guests. I have a very secure location in my house where they are allowed to roam freely in the house with my backyard being the place best to hang out. I prefer the environment where the client is more comfortable towards its furry being as I understand animals love to stay more where they have grown up. I'm open to stay at client's house for a day or    two for house sitting.
As a pet sitter, I offer a range of services tailored to the needs of each individual pet, including regular exercise, feeding, bathing, and administering medication if necessary. I am also skilled in handling emergencies giving pet owners peace of mind knowing that their beloved pets are in capable and caring hands.
Above all, my motivation to be a pet sitter stems from my unwavering love and passion for animals. I am dedicated to providing the best care possible for pets, creating a stress-free and enjoyable experience for them, and building lasting relationships with both the pets and their owners.

Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and spending time with them is genuinely the highlight of my day. Becoming a pet sitter is a natural extension of that passion, and it allows me to offer peace of mind to owners while giving their pets the attention, structure, and affection they deserve.&nbsp;
I know how important it is to feel that your furry family member is safe, relaxed, and cared for as if they were at home.
I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means pets in my care are rarely alone and receive plenty of companionship, playtime, and supervision. I have experience looking after dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, as well as following specific routines for feeding, walks, and rest to keep them comfortable and secure.&nbsp;
I am confident with oral medication, basic training reinforcement, and providing enrichment through walks, games, and mental stimulation.&nbsp;


I offer in your home pet and housesitting for the ultimate comfort of your furry family members!I have provided in your home pet sitting for over 15 years and have loved hundreds of dogs and cats, dozens of reptiles and birds, as well as a handful of bunnies, ferrets and fish. It has been so rewarding to watch animals grow into themselves from tiny energetic puppies, to focused and affectionate seniors.With no pets of my own and petsitting as my primary income source, I am here to love on and interact with your furry family members! I do not have the typical 'workday' prompting me to leave the house, so the majority of my day is spent with your pets!I am an active person who enjoys being outdoors with dogs walking, or running if that is in their typical level of activity. Hide and seek or memory games are also a very entertaining way to help engage critters especially during colder winter months.I leave your home as I found it, ensuring that it is neat and tidy. Any towels or bed linens that I used are washed and dried prior to your return home. I do not smoke, and do not have others over to your home while you are away.

I've been loving animals since I can remember. Growing up, I was the go-to around the neighborhood for friends and loved ones who needed their pets looked after, and that's only continued into my adulthood. I have taken care of the furry friends of friends and strangers alike (cats, dogs, fish, salamanders), and my longest live-in sitting job was for a week and a half (for two high-energy schnauzer-doodle mixes).
I am a student at MRU, and the vast majority of my day is open for house visits or walks. I am available in the mornings, afternoons, evenings - essentially just whenever you need someone to pop in. I'm also available for overnight care on nights that I am not working at my library job. My husband takes care of the house and our cats whenever I'm watching pets overnight, so all is taken care of on that front.
I currently have two cats of my own - Seth and Astrid - and they are the lights of my life. I've also owned Guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, and geckos, so I'm well versed in the care of small animals. I have experience with disabled animals (one of my cats is deaf, so I understand alternative methods of communication with animals), and experience with behavioural issues or difficult personalities (my other cat has extreme anxiety around people, so we have had to adapt our lives in order to help her be comfortable.) I also have experience walking reactive dogs, though I would prefer not to unless I understand their personalities and triggers better.
I look forward to loving your fur babies just as much as I treasure my own!
