“What an amazing loving ‘2nd home’ for Quinn! From the minute we walk in it’s all about Quinn! Carina is not only attentive to him, but ensures she answers any questions I may have…and the photos! Wow. He is so calm and well tuckered out when I pick him up. Thank you Carina😀”
“I give Ginette a 10 out of 10 review for friendliness, efficiency, kindness, and excellent care for our muffin. She obviously loves and enjoys dogs and we highly recommend her as an excellent dog sitter. Thank you Ginette. Bruce and Karela”
“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.”
“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 !”
“I rarely need pet sitting or over night care so I appreciated that Sarah was open to a meet and greet the day before drop off. I liked her two dogs right away and Scottie happily went into Sarah’s house at drop off. He spent the night and a full day with Sarah and her family and doggos. He was tired the next day so I think he enjoyed his time. Sarah was quick to respond to my messages. I’ll definitely use her the next time I’m in need of a sitter!”
“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.”

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!
“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!”

“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.”

I can't recommend Naomi enough! From start to finish, they went above and beyond in caring for my dog. Not only did they follow all instructions perfectly, but they also showed genuine love and attention, making sure my pup was happy and comfortable. I appreciated the regular updates and photos, it really put my mind at ease while I was away. It’s clear that Naomi truly cares about the animals they look after. Thank you so much for your exceptional care and kindness!
Naomi was amazing with our dog Beau! We hadn’t left him for this long before (nine days), but she made us feel completely at ease with her daily updates, photos, and videos. The meet and greet with her animals went really well, and we could tell Beau was in great hands. We’re so grateful for everything Naomi did. We’ll definitely continue using her and are so happy to have found someone so great!

As of July 2026, there are 45 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Blackfalds. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Blackfalds home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Blackfalds
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
