Top cities for pet sitting in Canada

When you have to go away or work long hours, you may worry about leaving your pet home alone. Have you ever wondered “Is there a pet or dog sitter in Calgary that can help?”.

Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from Calgary to provide drop in visits and other services. This means a pet sitter will come and visit your pet at a time you both agree on and provide lots of love and personal attention. This can include playtime in the backyard, a walk to the local park, or just some cuddle time. Our pet carers can also administer medication, give food, and refresh the water bowl.

In home pet sitting services are a great way to break up the day and enrich it for your pet. Pawshake pet sitters have extensive experience caring for a range of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and more. If you have multiple pets, home visits are a great option to ensure that they all get a visit and lots of attention during the day.

Drop in visits are the least stressful option for your pet because your pet can stay in their favourite environment – their own home in Calgary. Their surroundings will be familiar and our loving and passionate Pawshake sitter will spoil them each day. Our sitters will treat your home with respect and are flexible with timing, requests and durations. All this can be discussed before you make a home visit booking.

Pet boarding is a great option for when you are away for a few days and your pet needs overnight care. Unlike pet hotels, Pawshake pet boarding allows you to arrange a personalised daily routine for your pet, whether this be extra belly rubs, playtime or 24 hour supervision. Your pet will stay with the pet sitter in a cosy home environment, rather than a large, impersonal pet hotel.  

So whether you need just one day, a week or even a month, you’ll be able to find an experienced pet or dog carer to accommodate you and your pet’s needs in Calgary. The best part is that your Pawshake pet sitter is from your local neighbourhood, so they will be familiar with the area.

Our pet carers also have a range of experiences which include puppies, seniors, nervous pets and dog training. So if your pet has special requirements, you’ll be sure to find a pet sitter that is a good match for you.

Your pet’s safety and welfare is a big priority for us, which is why all of our Pawshake pet sitters undergo a strict vetting process by our trust and safety team. At Pawshake, we understand that you might feel a little uneasy allowing a pet sitter to enter your home or arranging pet boarding at their place. This is why Pawshake pet sitters also have reviews from other pet parents that are publicly available on their profile for you to read.

Each pet sitting home visit and pet boarding booking made through Pawshake is covered by the Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer support 7 days a week and more. Rest easy knowing that your pets will be well looked after by one of our expert pet carers in Calgary.

We both have had dogs almost all our lives! Carolina had her first dog when she was 5 years old, it was a Basset Hound named Snoopy. Since then, she has taken care of big dogs like a Brazilian Mastiff, medium dogs like a Golden Retriever and small dogs like a Miniature Yorkshire Terrier. She had a 13 year old Golden Retriever back home in Ecuador who recently passed away. Andres had his first dog when he was 13 years old, it was a white Labrador named Tonka. Later when he was 15 he got Fiona a black Labrador. He took care of both from when they were puppies until they both sadly passed away with cancer when Tonka was 10 and Fiona 12.
Since we moved in together we have sitted our friends dogs many times! They are always treated like royalty in our house, they can jump on the furniture, we take them to walks/hikes and play with them.
Carolina works from home so she can stay with the dogs all day! She can take them on walks twice a day as well. On the weekends we can base our schedule to the type of dog we are taking care of and how much exercise they need. If they require a lot of exercise we love to go on long hikes and if they are senior dogs that just need 30 min of active walks we can do that and then snuggle with them to watch a movie!
We don’t have any dogs although we are open to take care of 2 dogs at the same time we will always mention that to the parents of the second dog beforehand. We are open to requirements on any lifestyle the dog has including sleeping and eating habits. 
Our house has three flours and our bedroom is on the third floor so please take that into account if the dog would need to sleep in our bedroom. Dogs are allowed on all of our furniture but if you are training them and prefer us to enforce them being off furniture we can do that. 

Hello! I love puppies and have fostered four pups from 6weeks old to 12 weeks and potty-trained and leash trained. I have dealt with biting, chewing, jumping and puppies making strange. To this day I still visit my former fosters and can't wait to adopt my own in a year or two. I will play with your pups, train them if you would like according to your wishes and make sure they are healthy and happy! I work odd hours and can't stand the thought of leaving a dog at home so I'm happy to watch yours in my free time :) if I watch your pup I'll make sure they eat, sleep and play as you prefer and I'll leave your place cleaner than I found it in case of accidents. I believe all dogs should get to play all day and if I can help with that, then I have fulfilled my purpose.
My services include dog-walking and dog-sitting.

Howdy! My name is Vanessa, I moved to Calgary in May 2022. I love the mountains, road trips, camping&nbsp; and outdoor activies. I live in Bankview with my boyfriend and our senior citizen dog. Her name is Lili, she's a 14 years old chihuahua-daschund. I have always loved animals and have had a few growing up, cats, hamster, rabbit and dogs.
Me and my boyfriend started cat sitting our neighbor's adorable 3 cats. We loved going there to feed them, play with them, hangout for a bit and clean their litter boxes. She moved away and we miss hanging out with the cats and taking care of them! That's why I decided to become a pet sitter with Pawshake. I&nbsp;have taken care of numerous pets for friends and family over the years.
I currently offer cat sitting with visits available once a day. Services include refilling and cleaning food/water dishes, cleaning litter box, brushing them and playing with them. I will also send photos so you know your fur babies are well.

Hi there, my name is Peach, and I absolutely love dogs and cats!

I recently moved to Calgary and am currently seeking employment, which means I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend on weekdays and weekends.In the past, I had the pleasure of taking care of a friend's two cats for an entire month. Every day, I made sure to feed them, clean their litter box, and keep their bathroom stocked with fresh cat sand. I also enjoyed playing with them and brushing their fur, and I even took them to the vet to ensure they were healthy and content.I have also cared for a friend's dog before. When he needed to attend an urgent meeting, I took the dog for a walk through the community. I brought a leash that fit comfortably around his body, and I even had a bag ready for his waste. After our walk, I played with him, brushed his hair, and cleaned his paws before bringing him back home.My husband and I used to have a dog (Nufuu) and a cat (Taro) of our own before we immigrated to Canada. Although they have since passed away, we still have a deep love and appreciation for pets. We currently live in an apartment near a dog park, and our home is pet-free. However, we are more than happy to take care of your pet in our cozy abode if you prefer.Recently, in Calgary, I have experiences for dog boarding for 2 weeks, take care of senior dog, blinded cat and  help pet owners to take care of their cats and turtle for 2 weeks.In Jun 2023, I've got pet first aid certification from Walks n Wags pet first aid in Calgary.&nbsp;If your pet requires special attention or specific care, please don't hesitate to let me know.

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. I am committed to ensuring the well-being and happiness of your pets.
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.


As a pet sitter and having experience with my own pets, my dedication goes beyond care. I prioritize companionship, tailored routines, and personalized attention, ensuring your pet feels cherished and content.&nbsp;

My motivation lies in providing a safe, nurturing environment for beloved pets when their owners are away, ensuring they receive not only proper care but also genuine companionship and love.
My commitment extends beyond mere responsibility; it's a genuine passion to create a comfortable, loving space where pets feel at ease, ensuring their happiness and well-being. Trust me to provide reliable, compassionate care, allowing pet owners peace of mind while they're away.




Hey there, I'm Larissa, your go-to pet sitter for all your furry friends ️️ Availability: I understand that life can get busy, so I've got your back! I'm here to offer pet day care on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and throughout the weekends. Plus, if you're planning a trip for the weekend, count on me to provide a cozy and loving home for your fur baby. I also live in an apartment, so I can't take large dogs, only cats and small dogs 🤏 there's a park near my house that has an off-leash area. So they can run a little bit and feel free 🥹 I also don't have pets at my house, so if your dog or cat doesn't like other animals, it can be perfect.  Experience: I've always been an animal enthusiast, with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I used to volunteer at a dog shelter, which was one of my best experiences. Reach out to me, and let's ensure your furry family member has a paw-sitively fantastic time! ️&nbsp;

Hello, about my experience taking care of pets, I have a long history because I grew up on a farm where we had all kinds of pets such as cows, lambs, dogs, cats, ducks and exotic birds. I fell in love with animals because I believe they are part of the family and deserve the best possible care.
I came to Canada to study English to grow professionally, since I am a geologist and while I study I would love to work in something that I like, such as caring for pets, since I have experience and I really like spending time with them. So I am sure that I can support you with your care to ensure your well-being.
As for my schedule, I am usually available during the week during the afternoons and all day on weekends. On the other hand, with respect to my services, I offer daily walks at times to be coordinated with each request and places to be agreed upon, ideally nearby places in places where your pet feels comfortable.
Additionally, I can offer overnight monitoring, feeding visits but not medication administration, as I believe this should be done by someone qualified.
So if you are interested in someone who takes good care of your pets, who understands the importance of their care, who is reliable and responsible, you can contact me, I will be happy to help you.
