I have always been an animal lover! Growing up I had two dogs, a few cats, and a bird. I consider myself highly intuitive and connected to animals. I am comfortable interacting with all sizes and breeds of dogs. Furthermore, I am happy to take care of smaller animals, birds, and reptiles (although I may need a bit of training as I don't have as much experience!) I am currently pivoting careers and am focusing on re-skilling and education so I am looking for extra work. Since I love animals and have a lot of experience caring for them, I figured this would be an excellent and flexible option. As for me, I am gentle, calm, empathetic, creative, and warm. I have a degree in Anthropology and have been working in K-12 schools for the past decade as a support staff member. I am responsible, fit, adaptable, and easygoing -- I am a great listener and have no issues taking direction or feedback. I'd love to meet you and your furry (or feathered) family members! I have been around dogs most of my life and feel confident caring for and interacting with all sizes and breeds! For several years I regularly took care of a dog in a home where I provided childcare. That was my primary paid experience. However, I have been taking care of animals for most of my life. As a child growing up in rural BC, I volunteered at a local dog kennel, getting hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs, cleaning their kennels, and taking them for walks. I grew up with two dogs, a cat, and a bird and have always had a companion animal in my life. I have experience caring for senior dogs as well as puppies. I have experience with basic bathing, brushing, and playing. Throughout my life, I have always felt a special connection to animals, particularly cats & dogs. I have a very keen intuition and am able to read a dog's body language and mood. While I live in an apartment now and can't have a dog of my own, I love visiting with the dogs of my friends and family. I even enjoy walking through off-leash parks just to meet and pet dogs (with permission, of course!) I volunteered at a dog kennel when I was growing up. I learned the basics of managing large groups of dogs, cleaning kennels, bathing dogs before grooming, and taking dogs on walks.

My name is Astell! I am a 20-year-old Primary Care Paramedic student, waiting to get certified. I have always loved animals, but was never allowed to have a pet of my own. Therefore, I have always jumped at any opportunity to care for and spend time with furry friends! I have experience catsitting/housesitting for two families with two cats each. I have been helping them for around a year and a half now, including overnight stays and house maintenance. I have helped friends walk and take care of their dogs before and would be happy to do so, but I have no formal experience dog sitting.

I’m 26-year-old pet care enthusiast While I may not have working experience in years in the field of pet care, my love for animals, particularly dogs, motivated me to start this journey. I offer flexibility in my schedule, being available Monday to Thursday, throughout the day from mornings. I'm an extensively mobile individual who can travel and is willing to relocate, assured by my driver's license and the availability of a vehicle for job use. Looking forward to enriching your pet's day with love, care, and lots of fun! As an active and outdoorsy person, I truly enjoy spending time outside and keeping dogs moving! For me, walking and caring for dogs isn’t just an activity, it’s a way to contribute to their well-being, happiness, and balance. I absolutely love having a dog by my side on walks, hikes, or outdoor adventures. Their energy and joy make every moment better! I’m attentive, gentle, and patient, and I always make sure each dog gets the right mix of exercise, playtime, and care according to their personality and needs. I also have one year of volunteer experience at an SPCA (animal shelter), where I helped care for dogs, provided activity time, and ensured they felt loved and comfortable. This experience taught me a lot about animal behavior, trust-building, and responsible handling. Whether it’s daily walks, pet sitting, or simply giving your dog some extra attention while you’re away, I take this role seriously and with genuine affection.

Providing daily exercise for high-energy dogs/other animals

My name is Tiffany and I am a proud Calgary resident, born and raised. I'm a mother of 1, am a great lover of nature and the outdoors with a passion for taking care of pets. With 2 years of pet care experience under my belt, I've developed a knack for providing daily exercise for high-energy animals such as dogs, brushing teeth and fur, and even taking care of senior animals. My services include dog walking and drop-in visits where I take responsibility for feeding and playing with your pets. I am happy to work with a variety of animals; from cats and dogs to fish and rodents, I am ready to meet and care for all of them! I am available for appointments in the middle of the day or during the evenings throughout the week; from Monday to Sunday. The earlier we can start, the better as I'm ready to begin immediately! That being said, I am unfortunately not able to travel, relocate or use a vehicle for the job. Please note, I have my own little one, however, I cannot bring the pet to my home as an option for care. Yet, I can assure quality attention, love and care for your pets in their own familiar environment. Can't wait to meet your furry, scaly or feathery friends and provide them with the high-quality care they deserve! While my paid experiance may be lacking some, I make up for it in life experience. In addition to being raised around numerous animals as well as having my own ( chinchillas, mice, ferrets, cats and dogs ) I have also fostered several cats and dogs over the years so I am quite comfortable around animals. I have a deep love and respect for them and you can be sure that they are in very capable hands. Not as comforting with bigger breeds (mastiffs, came corsos, Bernese etc)

Do not hesitate to reach out to me. :) I was a pet sitter in my hometown and also volunteered. My family consists of my son, husband, a really big cat, fish, and a tiny hamster. I have loved pets since childhood and promise to provide a fun, safe, and healthy environment for your little furry friends.

My name is Kirstin. I'm born Calgarian and was raised on an acreage outside of the city limits near Millarville. I grew up with and still love animals. I enjoy time outdoors and appreciate the beauty of the seasons and nature. Yoga is a big part of my life; I practice and teach studio classes regularly. Creative expression and self discovery is a big part of who I am. I love to write, knit, cook, read and have begun foray into drawing and sewing recently. I like to work with my hands. I have employment experience in various realms including; accounting and administrative, general labor and landscaping, house cleaning/maintenance, pet care, retail (nutrition, herbal, supplements), personal services, serving in the restaurant industry; as an entrepreneur I have offered services including meal planning and preparation, teaching workshops, and working with clients one-to-one to achieve desired results. I enjoy variety in my work and movement in all aspects of my life. I am a self-directed and flexible person. I understand that life does not always go the way we plan for it to, and I believe that one of my greatest attributes has become to go with the flow; to think on my feet and adapt to situations and circumstances as they require. I grew up with animals (dogs, cats, horses) and learned first hand how to care for them. I was in a local 4H horse club and from 12 to 18 I rode, showed and cared for horses. We always had 2-3 dogs on our acreage property growing up. Shortly after I got my first and only dog Bibi (who is now 7 years old) I started working at a local pet store with a focus on pet nutrition and animal wellness. I was there for 5 years and learned most of what I now know and apply in terms of care for my own dog (raw feeding, holistic supplementation and approach to illness, aging, etc.) Throughout, I have assisted friends, family and paying clients with pet sitting services and one-off personalized animal care jobs.

I am an Actress by profession, in my desire to reinvent myself, the first time I arrived in Canada (banff), the possibility arose of working in a company that offered babysitting and dog walking services, it seemed like a perfect job, I really enjoyed spending time with children and animals in the middle of nature. This adventure began in Banff in 2013. Of all the jobs I had, this was the one I liked the most. I realized that exploring nature and having a furry companion who liked outdoor walks as much as I did was something that really made me feel lucky, I enjoyed doing it and it made me happy. Then, upon my return to Chile in 2014, I continued taking care of pets of friends or acquaintances sporadically. I stayed at their homes to take care of their pets while they went on vacation, and so on until today. I plan to continue devoting part of my time to this beautiful work. I am an Actress by Profession and an Early childhood educator level 1.

Taking care of senior dogs/other animals, Providing daily exercise for high-energy dogs/other animals

I absolutely love animals, in fact sometimes I find it easier to understand animals than people, and I have spent my entire life surrounded by various animals. Over my life, I've raised three dogs from puppyhood, rehabilitated two rescued dogs with behavioural issues, and trained all of my dogs in the necessary skills to keep them safely under control. My dogs have mostly been between medium and large in size and have been mixed breeds as well as a lab and a rough collie. However, I also have extensive experience caring for dogs of many other sizes and breeds; I feel completely confident in my ability to handle most dogs. Plus! I absolutely love dogs, I love going on walks with them and playing and taking naps together. My philosophy is that controlling a dog is about maintaining a balance between friendship and confidence, I am not afraid to take command but I am interested in being friends; when they understand this, most dogs are willing to play along. I also have a lot of experience with cats! I've owned three in my life and I frequently cat sit for friends, family, and clients. All cats are unique and require an experimental and receptive touch. One of my cats was a firecracker, a feisty little thing that was barely half a step removed from the barn she was born in. I learned to give her space and just enough stimulation to keep her happy, and we ended up having a very loving relationship even though most people who met her thought she was a bit scary. On the other hand, the cat I have right now is a goofball with a fraction of the athleticism and none of the killing power. Our relationship is hugely different than what I had with my little murder machine, but it is nonetheless loving and trusting. I have consistently developed good relationships with every cat I've ever owned or looked after, its all about communication. Additionally, I have also owned rodents. I have cared for two rats, a hamster, and three mice. Although I feel more experienced with cats and dogs, I am confident in my ability to take care of the health of rodents such as these. I have taken sole responsibility for my own pets for over 20 years, which have included dogs (of all sizes), cats, and rodents (rats, mice, and hamsters). Additionally, I have also done a good amount of house/pet sitting over the years with many satisfied clients. I love walking dogs, playing with cats, and providing animals with safe and predictable environments.
