“Carolyn is awesome! She had Jade for 2 nights and took very good care of her. Jade felt at ease and comfortable in her home the moment I dropped her off. Great communication the entire time. Would definitely recommend !”

About: I have been a dog owner for over 20 years. I recently had to let my ole girl pass over the rainbow, such an heartbreaking decision to make. She was happy as the only dog if the house and I had a desire for more happy tails! So I decided to start walking dogs and doing pet visits so that I could fulfill my need for more waggy tails! I do work a local job that runs Monday -Friday, but am done by 3:15. I schedule my walks for 3:15 and after.I do get a 30 min lunch break that I can do washroom breaks for pets if needed. Walks are 30-45 mins. I do have weekends and evenings off, this is where I make the time for pups/cats. I do not tend to bring other dogs to my home, I have done so on occasion but only after my dog has had a chance to meet our new furry visitor. I do dog walks, visits and out door adventures for your pup. I even take some of my 4 legged friends to the back country roads, for that nice open free run!
“I am sooooo happy to have found Denise! I have never used a rover before and would go to great lengths to find care for my dog that I felt comfortable with and it’s just a nice feeling to have found someone reliable who my dog loves and I feel happy knowing she’s having a blast when I’m gone. When I dropped my dog off on the last stay, she was soooo happy to see Denise, it definitely reassured me that I’m dropping her off at a safe and happy place :)”
“We were very nervous to leave our dogs while away on vacation, but Kristin was absolutely wonderful and we would not hesitate to leave them with her again. She was organized, her communication was prompt, and she was very welcoming to our dogs.”
“Ginette was incredible with our dog Zeus. She was attentive and went above and beyond to take care of him. He had some separation anxiety and she took extra measures to make sure he ate and drank water. She also sent plenty of pictures and responded to any questions I had very promptly. I would highly recommend Ginette to take care of your fur babies anyday and we'll be booking with her again.”
“My dog was at Sarah's once for daycare and when we left him for boarding he was super excited to go there. Sarah sent regular updates and left me at ease, knowing he was being well cared for.”
“Luka loved spending time at Sarah’s ! It was her first stay and stayed 3 nights. I was away travelling so it felt good to see photos of pup so happy. Definitely found a place to feel confident that our girl is in great hands. Thanks Sarah and family. Luka will come visit again soon.”
“Winnie had a fabulous time as always with Becky. She is always so excited to spend time with them. Becky provided daily updates with photos and videos. I am always relieved when Becky is able to look after Winnie when I am away as I know she will be well looked after!”
“We were very happy in leaving our little LaceyMae in the care of Jenna. She showed genuine love and provided a safe environment that we felt confident that our little girl was in good hands. She also sent updates and pictures which we appreciated. Thank you, Jenna!”
“Teaghan was wonderful to chat with leading up to time of drop off - this was just as important for me, as she was genuinely interested in how to keep our dog safe, comfortable and well taken care of. She was even willing to meet before hand to get to meet and greet with our pup as it was our first time using a sitter for our dog. Frequent texts, picture updates and great exercise Completed the care for our dog. I could tell on pick up that our dog wasn’t stressed, nor eager to leave. Would definitely recommend Teaghan for her services and will use her again, myself, for any doggy sitting needs. Great work, keep it up!”
“Finn and Tigg came home very contented and unstressed. I was constantly receiving updates while away on holidays. I have never seen my boys settle in with a stranger as quickly as they did. It was like they knew Alexis for years. Will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Laura and John took great care of our Jojo and they even took her in on short notice. We have taken her there twice now and both times she had a blast. Even got a bath after digging in the dirt the first time. We will definitely be back. Thanks again for taking Jojo in onsuch short notice.”

About: Hey! My name is Jenna and I’ve owned and looked after pets for pretty much my entire life! I’ve had dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits, and hamsters. You name it I’ve probably owned one at some point in my life and if I didn’t, then I probably wanted to! I have also been working with a dog and cat rescue for the better part of the last 12 years so I am well experienced in animals that may have some “quirks” as I like to call them such as anxiety, food aggression, etc! I’ve trained puppies and I’ve taken care of senior dogs so any animal at any age is safe with me! I am currently working Full time so Monday to Thursday I am gone from 7am to around 8pm and until around 4pm Fridays, weekends are definitely more free as that’s when I am off but I can definitely make it work weekdays as well! I am comfortable with crating animals if that is your routine and will ensure that the yard they are being let out into is safe and secure (ensure the fence didn’t get opened somehow, no one’s tossed anything in the yard etc). When walking your beloved fur babies I will ensure that they are walked how you’d expect them to be and that they are safe and well looked after during this time.
“Addy looked after our cats for a few days, and they took to her right away. It was clear from the start how passionate she is about animals. She followed their schedule exactly as directed, kept in regular contact, and sent us photos every day, which gave us great peace of mind. Addy also made sure to ask questions whenever she wasn’t completely sure about something, showing how responsible and attentive she is. On top of that, she kept the house very clean, which we really appreciated. I was truly impressed with her level of care and professionalism, and I would highly recommend Addy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Chanda did a great job checking in on our cats and being reliable/communicative. I feel really comfortable letting her continue to coax our shy kitty out to get some love while we are away next time!”

“Had an overall good experience. Dilly has always been a bit shy but Sarah made sure to give him a good balance of space and cuddles which definitely helped during his stay! Thanks a bunch!”
“I am always a bit nervous leaving my pup with a new sitter, but Ginette made me feel at ease upon drop off, and seems like a kind genuine person. She sent adorable update photos through the day to let me know things were going well. Also- My day ran late and she was totally fine with me picking her up later than the original time. I know my puppy is a handful but she must have had a fun day! She was excited to see me but fell asleep shortly after pickup, resting after a fun-filled day :) Highly recommended!”
“Carina is fantastic. She is so thorough and takes excellent care of our puppy. We have appreciated her wonderful communication, with regular updates and photos that give us peace of mind while he is there. She is reliable, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. Our puppy adores her, and we feel completely confident leaving him in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Denise is very kind and my dog enjoyed her care. She sent pictures and videos of how my dog was doing, that made me feel so relieved since it was first time for my dog to have someone else take care of her. I will definitely ask for her service again. Thank you very much Denise ❣️”
About: I have been blessed with the ability to dog sit all sorts of breeds for the past 13 years. From toy poodles, Shih Tzu’s, to Doberman pinschers. I have loved every minute of it. I especially enjoy working with senior pets. I love to bring them some fun as well as calmness in their senior years and love on them as much as possible. I love getting to take things at their speed. Having just lost the ten year old Doberman I had cared for full time for a year and a half, having taken some time to mourn her loss, I am now ready to bring on someone new. I am available to come to your home, where your dog is most comfortable to sit for the day or even a few hours. Or if it is more convenient to welcome your dog into my home. I love being able to take dogs for walks for some good exercise or just to get their business done. I will treat your dog as if they are my very own, and I mean that! As a stay at home mom, with my children getting older and currently in middle school, I am looking for something to get me out of the house, and bring me a sense of fulfillment. I love having a really good reason to go for a walk. Having a dog to walk is to me the ultimate reason to get outside! I am extremely flexible to schedule and whatever routine will meet you and your dogs needs. I have a small fenced back yard. I live just off of Kin Kanyon and there are many trails to be taken advantage of. I do have a cat who simply ignores most dogs. If she is a concern I can happily put her into the basement with the door closed while the dog is visiting.
About: I have taken care of rescue dogs, both young mom and pups, along with pregnant dogs, to senior dogs. I grew up with different types of dogs and my grandfather raced greyhounds. I currently am at home. I do have my granddaughter after school, who loves animals. She has a cat. Going for walks would also help me get some exercise. I have an unfenced yard, so your dog would always be on a leash. I have a small senior dog that usually would accompany me on walks.
“Chanda was super sweet and accommodating with my nervous pup! He ended up getting sick when I dropped him off and she handled it very well, kept me updated and made sure he was comfortable!”
“Quick and easy communication and nice welcoming with dogs and Sarah’s daughter when we pulled up. My puppy putter got to play with the pack and just be a dog. She had so much fun with her white younger dog and after I picked up my pup we came home and she ate and passed out ! Good day! Thanks again Sarah. See you next time!:)??”
“Anushka took great care of Montego. She was great at sending pictures and updating on how he was doing. Montego had so much fun he didn’t want to leave at the end of the say. I would highly recommend her :)”
“It was my first time trusting someone I don’t know with Winnie. Claire and her children were exceptional, especially her son. (Thanks for taking such good care of her lil man) . Claire sent pictures and when is was time to go home, Winnie wasn’t in THAT big of a hurry to come inside when Claire and son dropped Winnie off.”
“Courtney was able to take my boy last minute after the other sitter I had fell through which was so appreciated. She was great at sending updates and he absolutely loves her. I highly recommend Courtney and will definitely be using her again ?”

About: "Dogs are my people, I understand them better!" Is what I like to say . Hey there ,I love hanging out with pups and they seem to love me too! I've got tons of experience with dogs. I used to work at doggy daycares, and I've grown up with dogs around all my life. I even have two furry friends of my own! My Australian Shepherd is super friendly and loves going for walks and runs, so your pup can expect to get plenty of exercise. My roommate's Boxer/Pitbull mix is a big softie with a booming bark, but don't worry, he's just excited to meet new friends! By the end of the day, your pup will be happily worn out. If you'd like to work on any training with your dog, I'm happy to help! I've trained my own dogs and even helped out my mom with hers. I'll be with your dog the whole time they're here, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. Let me know if you have any questions! And tell me little about your dog and their needs. Currently not working . So with the help of my two furry friends, I have all the time and love to give your pet a fun and enriching stay! I'd be happy to care for your dog in a safe, trusting, and comfortable environment! Here's how I'll ensure their well-being: * Safety First: We'll meet beforehand so I can assess your dog's temperament and make sure they're a good fit for my home and our dogs get along. On walks, I'll keep them securely leashed, and they will never be left unsupervised at my home . * Trust and Routine: To minimize disruption, I'll stick to their regular feeding and walking schedule as much as possible. I'll follow your instructions for care and medications, and use cuddles, playtime positive training to build a bond. * Homey Comfort: my house is dog proofed already as I have 2 dogs. They'll have a comfy bed, fresh water, and their favorite toys from home to feel at ease. ( I suggest usually toy from home to add comfort to their stay) Regular cleaning will ensure their living area is fresh and hygienic. By following these steps, your dog will have a positive and stress-free stay in my home.

Visits include feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, basic cleanup as needed, companionship, and affection. I always prioritize calm, respectful handling and closely follow any instructions provided to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for
About: Hey! My name is Jenna and I’ve owned and looked after pets for pretty much my entire life! I’ve had dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits, and hamsters. You name it I’ve probably owned one at some point in my life and if I didn’t, then I probably wanted to! I have also been working with a dog and cat rescue for the better part of the last 12 years so I am well experienced in animals that may have some “quirks” as I like to call them such as anxiety, food aggression, etc! I’ve trained puppies and I’ve taken care of senior dogs so any animal at any age is safe with me! I am currently working Full time so Monday to Thursday I am gone from 7am to around 8pm and until around 4pm Fridays, weekends are definitely more free as that’s when I am off but I can definitely make it work weekdays as well! I am comfortable with crating animals if that is your routine and will ensure that the yard they are being let out into is safe and secure (ensure the fence didn’t get opened somehow, no one’s tossed anything in the yard etc). When walking your beloved fur babies I will ensure that they are walked how you’d expect them to be and that they are safe and well looked after during this time.
About: My first dog was an active bearded collie. Him and I grew up together as we got him when I was 4. My current dog is 4.5 and he is an X-Large dog (Bernese) which I have trained to allow me to perform all grooming (teeth, paws, nails, brushing, bathing). I am a teacher during the year, but in the summer I have the time off. My daughter and I enjoy being outside with the dog in the backyard and can provide lots of play during the day. I have a fenced in yard, one dog and one daughter. I wake up and feed the dogs in the morning. Let them outside to play for a while to burn energy. Then we can decide on what to do for the day based on the dogs. My dog is variable to activities. He doesn’t mind being lazy infront of the tv but also doesn’t mind being out to play.
About: I am 18 years old, I have lots of experience with dogs, more specifically behavioural or nervous dogs, i help train and socialize dogs at the shelter i work for. I’ve worked at Kennels and shelters and have lots of experience with different dogs with different personalities. I have lots of training for administrating medication as well. I am going to school to become a professional behavioural dog trainer. I am 18, i have a car, i am very trust worthy and always kind to animals. I spend my time fishing, adventuring, riding horses, and training dogs! I spend most of my days at animal shelters spending time with dogs and cats. I help work with animals to improve their chance for getting adopted and having a better life outside of the kennel. I will feed, clean up after the animals, spend quality time, aswell as exercising and could even help train dogs. I will take great care of your lovely pets while respecting your home.
“Was able to help me last minute when I was sick and my husky was getting stir crazy. Showed up early for walk and was very polite. When Bruce came back he looked like he had an awesome time.”
About: Hello! My name is Luisa, and my pets are my whole world. I promise to take care of your babies as if they were my own. I am especially passionate about working with animals who may be fearful or have special needs. I have previously completed a two-year apprenticeship under a force-free dog trainer in Calgary, and although I am not currently working as a trainer due to completing my master's, what I learned informs all my interactions with animals. Through fostering and our own pets, I have experience administering medications to a wide range of animals (dogs, cats, bearded dragons, geckos, hedgehogs). At home, my husband and I have two dogs, a cat, and a multitude of reptiles and exotics. We also foster from time to time, which has given us experience with so many other species and personalities. Please let me know if you have any questions, I'd love to answer them. I am completing my master's degree and have a practicum placement from September to March, quite a distance from our home in SE Calgary. I'm hoping to pet sit to save on some driving, and also to have animal companions during this time! I may have some additional availability outside from what I have set in Rover - if our schedules don't align exactly, please feel free to message! My pets would describe me as a helicopter mom, I would describe me as attentive! When I travel, our pet-sitter gets a multi-page document on everyone's needs, so I am not intimidated to receive the same; this just means I can adjust my routine to your pet(s)'...it is their home after all!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely love spending time with them! From fun walks and playtime to keeping routines consistent, I make sure every pup feels happy, safe, and loved. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures or prefers slower, relaxed walks, I adjust to their needs. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means I have a very flexible schedule and lots of availability throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care during weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care since I’m home most of the time. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs! I have a fully gated backyard that provides a safe, secure space for pets to play, explore, and enjoy time outdoors. Your pet will always be supervised and cared for in a calm, loving environment. My home is a safe and welcoming space where your pet will feel comfortable, relaxed, and treated like family. My son loves to be outside playing fetch non stop with the dogs.
About: I've honed my pet care skills through over a decade and a half of walks, grooming, and attentive care with many animals, including my sister's emotional support dog, who requires a lot of extra attention.

I am readily available for pet care services whenever I'm not traveling, ensuring your furry companions receive the attention and care they deserve.

About: Over the years I have had a lot of different animals with different types of personalities and health difficulties. Making them feel as cared for as possible. I built a wheel chair for my senior dog so that she could live her best life for as long as possible. Customizing cat condos for enrichment purposes. Pet care is a daily practice. While working or not working, all animals need love and care daily. Whether it is play time or giving a good brushing daily care is required. I would treat the clients animal like it was my own I have a fenced yard with two dogs that are more than willing to play with your dog. I have used a crate training to train puppies.

“Carolyn is awesome! She had Jade for 2 nights and took very good care of her. Jade felt at ease and comfortable in her home the moment I dropped her off. Great communication the entire time. Would definitely recommend !”
About: I have been a dog owner for over 20 years. I recently had to let my ole girl pass over the rainbow, such an heartbreaking decision to make. She was happy as the only dog if the house and I had a desire for more happy tails! So I decided to start walking dogs and doing pet visits so that I could fulfill my need for more waggy tails! I do work a local job that runs Monday -Friday, but am done by 3:15. I schedule my walks for 3:15 and after.I do get a 30 min lunch break that I can do washroom breaks for pets if needed. Walks are 30-45 mins. I do have weekends and evenings off, this is where I make the time for pups/cats. I do not tend to bring other dogs to my home, I have done so on occasion but only after my dog has had a chance to meet our new furry visitor. I do dog walks, visits and out door adventures for your pup. I even take some of my 4 legged friends to the back country roads, for that nice open free run!
“I am sooooo happy to have found Denise! I have never used a rover before and would go to great lengths to find care for my dog that I felt comfortable with and it’s just a nice feeling to have found someone reliable who my dog loves and I feel happy knowing she’s having a blast when I’m gone. When I dropped my dog off on the last stay, she was soooo happy to see Denise, it definitely reassured me that I’m dropping her off at a safe and happy place :)”
“We were very nervous to leave our dogs while away on vacation, but Kristin was absolutely wonderful and we would not hesitate to leave them with her again. She was organized, her communication was prompt, and she was very welcoming to our dogs.”
“My dog was at Sarah's once for daycare and when we left him for boarding he was super excited to go there. Sarah sent regular updates and left me at ease, knowing he was being well cared for.”
“Luka loved spending time at Sarah’s ! It was her first stay and stayed 3 nights. I was away travelling so it felt good to see photos of pup so happy. Definitely found a place to feel confident that our girl is in great hands. Thanks Sarah and family. Luka will come visit again soon.”
“We were very happy in leaving our little LaceyMae in the care of Jenna. She showed genuine love and provided a safe environment that we felt confident that our little girl was in good hands. She also sent updates and pictures which we appreciated. Thank you, Jenna!”
“Teaghan was wonderful to chat with leading up to time of drop off - this was just as important for me, as she was genuinely interested in how to keep our dog safe, comfortable and well taken care of. She was even willing to meet before hand to get to meet and greet with our pup as it was our first time using a sitter for our dog. Frequent texts, picture updates and great exercise Completed the care for our dog. I could tell on pick up that our dog wasn’t stressed, nor eager to leave. Would definitely recommend Teaghan for her services and will use her again, myself, for any doggy sitting needs. Great work, keep it up!”
“Finn and Tigg came home very contented and unstressed. I was constantly receiving updates while away on holidays. I have never seen my boys settle in with a stranger as quickly as they did. It was like they knew Alexis for years. Will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Laura and John took great care of our Jojo and they even took her in on short notice. We have taken her there twice now and both times she had a blast. Even got a bath after digging in the dirt the first time. We will definitely be back. Thanks again for taking Jojo in onsuch short notice.”
