About: I’ve been caring for not only my own animals, but animals of family and friends for many years. Whatever they need they all know they can rely on me to be there for their animals while they are away. I work part time, meaning I will have lots of free time to care of and play with anyone’s fur baby. Can’t wait to meet the fur babies. I give my cat wet food everyday, change her litter when needed, change water dishes and give lots of love when I have the opportunity. I would treat any animal they way I would want my own animals to be treated.

“This was my first time using Rover and Kiana absolutely went above and beyond! Right off the bat, she got along with Timmy (my cat) at the Meet and Greet, knowing how to read his body language very well. She asked all the important questions and carried through with them throughout the cat sitting period. She was also very accommodating with key hand offs and Timmy’s current routine. And of course, Kiana sent photo updates during her drop-ins which definitely alleviated my anxiety with leaving Timmy alone. Overall, Timmy and I would highly recommend Kiana!”

About: I’ve had the chance to care for both reactive dogs and shy, nervous cats, and I understand how important patience, consistency, and a calm presence are in earning their trust. I'm currently on summer break, going into my 5th year of university. I have full availability, starting September I only have classes two days a week. I can fully work around your needs and schedule. When I am in your home I follow your instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, walk routes, medication, or favourite toys. I treat your home with respect, leaving it clean, secure and looked after. I maintain consistent communication with you, be it photos, updates and check ins.

It feels amazing to have someone that we not only trust, but are excited and confident to have watch our fur baby. If I could give her higher than 5/5, I would! 🤍”

About: Mon - Fri (7:30pm-midnight) Sat - Sun (All day) I have ten years’ experience caring for dogs and senior pets, including feeding, walking, medication support, gentle handling, and patient attention to individual routines needs. I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care on weekdays and weekends. I am available for walks, feeding, playtime, and drop-in visits. I will always confirm the time in advance and provide reliable care. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walking, medication, and house rules. I keep doors, gates, and leashes secure at all times, and I never let a pet off-leash unless the owner has clearly approved it in a safe area.make sure pets have fresh water, a clean and comfortable space, regular bathroom breaks, exercise, and attention. I also watch for any changes in behaviour, appetite, or health, and I contact the owner immediately if I notice anything unusual. In a client’s home, I respect their property, keep the area clean, and make sure everything is locked and secure before I leave. I will also send photos and updates so the owner knows their pet is safe and doing well.

About: 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 small yard. 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. I’m currently working from home, as my job offers me a flexible environment to work which helps me fulfill my passion of taking care of pets. On weekends I’m free so I can take full time care. I work according to the client’s need as they know their children better. There are no restrictions in my house as the little ones will not be chained or caged unless required as per the clients request as I believe they should have their own freedom and should feel like home.

About: Hi! I’m Brianna! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve had my own dog since I was 12. He was my best friend and a huge part of my life, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us. They’re family! I’ve also worked at a pet boarding facility, where I cared for cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have experience house sitting large dogs and caring for cats in their homes as well. I’m comfortable giving medications, following specific feeding routines, and taking care of the not so glamorous stuff that comes with having pets. My goal is simple: I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog needs lots of walks and playtime, your cat needs some company, or your pet has a very specific routine, I’m happy to follow it. 🐶🐱 I work in person Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 4:30, so I’m primarily available for evening visits, overnight stays, weekends, and walks or drop ins outside of my work hours. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get the care and attention they’re used to. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow each pet’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific needs. I keep doors and gates secure, provide plenty of supervision and attention, and make sure pets are comfortable in their own environment. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and always leave them clean and tidy.

“I’ve used Brianna twice to look after my cat. She was a great communicator and so lovely with Finn. I recently left on a long Europe trip and was quite nervous about leaving him for so long. Brianna was great at sending me updates and easing my mind that he was well taken care of. When I retuned, she cleaned thoroughly and made coming home such a breeze. I would definitely recommend her :)”

About: I currently work at a professional pet hotel, daycare, and boarding facility, where I care for dogs and cats with a wide variety of personalities, needs, and energy levels. I have experience safely handling dogs of all sizes, from tiny pups to extra-large breeds which can range from <5lb to 140lb, and regularly supervise groups of 10–15 dogs at a time. My responsibilities include maintaining a safe and controlled environment, monitoring interactions, recognizing changes in behaviour, and ensuring each dog receives an appropriate balance of exercise, enrichment, play, rest, and affection. I understand that successful pet care is not only about keeping animals active and it is also about helping them feel calm, comfortable, and secure. Through my work, I have cared for puppies, senior pets, blind dogs, nervous or sensitive animals, and pets with health concerns that require additional patience and careful handling. Every animal is different, so I adapt my approach to their individual personality, routine, physical abilities, and comfort level while closely following the instructions provided by their family. I am also a pet parent to a dog and a cat, a Miniature Schnauzer puppy, and a wonderfully sweet boy cat. Caring for my own animals has given me firsthand experience with puppy energy, senior-pet needs, multi-pet households, and plenty of unique personalities. I will treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own! As a recent university graduate working part-time at a pet hotel facility, I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I can accommodate weekdays, weekends, daytime visits, and overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. Caring for animals is already a natural part of my daily routine, and I am happy to work around each pet’s established feeding, walking, play, and rest schedule. I care for every pet according to their individual personality, routine, comfort level, and family’s instructions. I prioritize safety by closely supervising pets, monitoring their body language, securing doors and gates, and making sure dogs are properly leashed before leaving the home. During visits, I provide an appropriate balance of exercise, enrichment, affection, and calm time without forcing interaction. I am experienced with pets of different sizes, ages, temperaments, and physical needs, and I understand when an animal needs additional patience or personal space. In a client’s home, I will treat both the pet and the property with care and respect. I will maintain your pet’s normal routine, keep their environment clean and secure, and provide dependable updates and photos so you can feel confident that they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I've lived in households with pets for most of my life, and have also worked in shelters for both dogs and cats. I am confident I am the kind of person you're looking for. I just finished my first degree and am preparing to take the law school entrance exam; whenever your pets need care, I will be there. I have a yard and also pay attention whenever pets are around; if I'm over to help you, I will do any sort of thing you need, and if your pets are over here, I will guarantee they will always have water and will be let out whenever necessary.

About: Trusted Pet Sitter & Foster ! Caring for animals has always been more than just a passion—it's part of who I am. Since I was a child, I've been the one in my family who looked after our pets, giving them love, attention, and the care they needed. Also, spend most of my holidays in farm with a wide range of animals and learning even more about farm life. That early bond with animals naturally led me to work in a veterinary clinic for several years as a vet assistant, where I gained hands-on medical experience, and a deep understanding of animal health, and behavior. In addition to my vet background, I’m also a certified Reiki energy healer. I’ve worked with pets and even wildlife, helping them heal and relax through gentle, intuitive energy work. It’s a beautiful way to connect with animals on a deeper level—and they feel it. For the past five years, I’ve been fostering cats in Vancouver, volunteering with a medical team. Also, in Calgary area offering trusted pet sitting for dogs. I’ve also helped out on a ranch, caring for the horses. Whether you’re in the city or the countryside, I bring calm, compassion, and commitment to every animal I care for. I treat your pets like my own—with patience, love, and respect. I look forward to meeting your furry (or feathered!) family soon in Calgary surrounding, or worldwide . 🐾 I’m a dedicated sole-entrepreneur who works from home most of the time — and that means your pet will get my full attention, love, and care throughout the day. Spending most of my time indoors when working makes me truly value good company, and what better company than a furry friend? Whether you're in town or miles away, you can count on me to treat your pet like family — with warmth, responsibility, and lots of affection. I bring a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet can feel right at home. Let’s connect — I’d love to offer both you and your pet peace of mind. 🐾 Loving, Reliable & Active Pet Sitter – Your Pet’s Second Best Friend! 🐾 I’m someone pets naturally trust, and feel safe with. Whether you’re near, or far, you can count on me to give your furry friend all the care, love, and attention they deserve. If I'm caring for your pet at my place, we’re in luck – I have plenty of beautiful trails nearby for daily walks, fresh air, and sniffing adventures close to sandy beach, and the big off leash park! If I’m staying at your place, I adjust to your home setup. Got a garden? Perfect – we’ll enjoy the space together. No yard? No problem – I’ll make sure your pet stays active, and gets out for walks, exercise, and fun. I'm not just a sitter – I’m a calm, caring companion your pet can count on, and someone you can trust completely. 🐶🐱💛 Let’s connect – I’d love to meet you and your pet!

Alicia was great at looking after our two cats, one of which is diabetic so requires set feeding times along with insulin injections and other medication. Alicia had no problem administering the medication and was very accommodating to the feeding times we needed. She was also able to look after other tasks while we were away. Would highly recommend Alicia's services!

Danielle is an absolute delight and I am SO glad we found her on rover. Our dog is really passive and shy so we set up a meeting before hand knowing she might be skittish. We were doing a stay cation close by but had we not been we have no doubt that if anyone could break through our shy girls demeanour it would have been Danielle. We popped back home on the second day just so our pupper knew we still existed and after that point she was a changed lady with Danielle. The updates and attention and care she gave our animals was incredible. Our cats are pretty easy, the one is actually annoying with how much he loves people, but our dog is so reserved that we were really worried about how this would go, but with the communication and time spent Danielle was a gem and we couldn’t have selected better.

Karlee took fantastic care of my pets while I was away for a few days. My rescue cat, Spooky, is usually very afraid and shy around people he doesn't know, so I was very surprised at how quickly he overcame his shyness around Karlee and accepted her within a day of her visits with him! My dog also was comfortable around her from day one, and never hesitated to come to her for some TLC and pets. Karlee obviously has a way with animals, they adore her, and she provided excellent care for my dog and cat. She is very caring and attentive, was excellent with feeding and all the other care needs of my furries. I have complete trust and faith in her strong ability to look after my pets while I am away.
