Cameron M.
Hey there, I’m Cameron! Owner of YK Sitter and our sister company, Cheeky Chops Pet Salon.
I am the proud pet mom to Marji, Kitty and Nikolais. I love being their mom and I love the service we offer to busy Yellowknife pet parents. I am one of them!
Whenever I need a helping hand getting the dogs daily exercise or when my partner and I are on the road we want the best for our fur kids. It is important to me that my standards of care are given and I trust our YKS team with their happiness, health and always keeping me updated with personal messages and photos. Communication is at the heart of the pet care service I strive for. I always want my fur kids to have trusting and reliable care and I want YOURS to have the same. The help and benefits we offer to our fur and human clients, and seeing the happy visit reports of pets in Yellowknife every day (all day) is what keeps me living my dream!

Assistant & Scheduler
Hi there! I'm Zena your devoted new scheduler at YK Sitter. I was born and raised in Yellowknife and have always been an animal lover at heart. Cats hold a special place in my heart thanks to Nightfall my minx kitty. ♥ I secretly hope to own a puppy in the future too! Despite being in a wheelchair, I never let anything come in the way of my passion for pets, so I am thrilled to be apart of this incredible team. I'm dedicated, full of passion & energy and look forward to helping you navigate your way around. I hope wherever this message finds you, that it is a wonderful day!
Darienne R.
Pet Sitter
Hi! I'm Darienne and I have lived in Yellowknife Since 2012 and now call it home. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and I couldn't think of anything better then spending time with them. I adopted two northern special's and have a small lap dog too, they are a special pack with their cats.
I've always loved animals since I was a child, so joining the YK Sitter team has been a dream 🐾. I've been working here since spring 2022 and I absolutely love getting to know each pet's unique personality and building that special bond with them. Whether it's a sweet greeting full of head boops, tail wags or just hanging out with them while they do their thing, it's always so rewarding. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friends and make sure they're as happy and comfortable as possible!
James F.
Pet Sitter
Hi, I'm James! I'm a born and raised Yellowknifer, avid animal enthusiast, and lover of all things dog. It's been an exciting time working with YKSitter since I began at the start of 2023- I could not be happier to get to meet your furry/feathered friends & family, and to get to spend time with them!
I grew up with a plethora of animals around the home, so I'm no stranger to how weird and wonderful they can be; Often the most particular of friends become my favourites, so I look forward meeting yours no matter their personality!
I'm a big fan of cats and birds, but have a very soft spot for dogs; I especially love taking my dog-buddies out for off-leash hikes- exploring nature together makes me a happy guy!

Sandra S.
Pet Sitter & Overnighter
I am so happy that I have joined the YK Sitter team! I work full-time as a Biologist/Environmental Scientist but my love for all things feathered and furry (even scaly), led me to begin working for YK sitter on a part-time casual basis. I grew up with pets of the feathery kind, but in my adult life, I have owned dogs and cats. I am also very involved in the dog mushing community (it’s what originally brought me to YK for the first time!) and have a special place in my heart for all those Northern Specials. I have loved meeting all the critters so far and can’t wait to meet new ones along the way!
