“Stephanie was lovely! She looked after our pack of 4 during our wedding in Bragg Creek. She brings all the good dog vibes and energy you’d want for your fur baby and we didn’t worry the entire night because of this. Will use again for sure!”

“Our experience with Jacqueline was a 10/10! She gave our cat the royal treatment from start to finish. Not only did she provide extra care and feeding she also left our home immaculate. We received fun pics and updates every day and it was clear that she really loves cats, as much as we do! I would highly recommend Jacqueline for any pet care - she is super responsible.”

“Emma was knowledgeable about dog behaviour. My hesitant rescue appeared to really like her. Some instructions weren’t followed and during one visit my front door wasn’t securely attached and unfortunately swung open after she left, which compromised the safety of my dogs and home. Luckily my neighbour communicated this with me and closed the door/checked to make sure my dogs were inside my unit.”

About: I have extensive experience in the pet-care industry. I started doing dog-walking and dog-running for a variety of sizes and breeds. Tailoring walks to their specific energy levels and needs. I then moved on to working in Dog Daycares as a room attendant for about 4 years, I gained lots of experience with pack dynamics, body language, as well as handling a multitude of sizes, breeds, temperaments and needs. I also assisted in boarding operations for daycare and did more hands-on care with medications, feeding schedules, etc. I recently have gained experience in taking care of cats and now have one of my own. Some of my experience is with kittens who needed training and lots of play. Others were elderly and needed special attention, needing to administer medications at specific times. I am a huge animal lover with lots of experience in this field and wish to provide the best possible care for your animals. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I have a flexible schedule at the moment and plenty of availability. I want to provide pets focused, hands-on attention and care. After stepping away from large daycare environments I want to continue using my skills gained in this field to provide care for animals, especially those who require fully-present enrichment, attention and excercise and may not do well in group environments and need a dedicated one-on-one caregiver. Creating a safe and trustworthy environment is a top priority for me, I am very experienced in reading dog/cat body language, respecting boundaries and adjusting my approach to every pets specific needs and comfort levels. I have experience with many animals of different sizes, breeds and temperaments and know how to navigate nervousness, anxiety and any other elevated emotions. I communicate clearly with owners so they know their animals are getting the best care possible and notify them of any problems or concerns in regards to their pets safety, health and needs.

“Felix and Rachel were absolutely amazing dog sitters for my pup, Hap! They went above and beyond, especially when Hap got sick during their care. Their quick response, calm demeanor, and dedication to making sure he was okay truly showed how much they care. They kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me so much peace of mind. Despite the unexpected situation, Hap was clearly loved and well cared for. I’m so grateful for their kindness, attentiveness, and professionalism. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would trust them with Hap anytime!”

About: I have always had a special connection to animals. I have lots of experience with large to small dogs. I love going on multiple walks with the pups as well as taking them on hikes out to the mountains (if that is something you wish). I have no problem taking them to a dog park as I have an suv. I will send updates on your animals with pictures and videos. I myself have a cat so I have a lot of experience with felines as well. You can count on me to give your fur babes the best love,attention, cuddles and care. If you would like me to stay at your home overnight I will treat it as my own and make sure to leave it in pristine condition. I look forwards to meeting you and making new furry friends.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats in my life for over 50 years and have an amazing ability for having them relate to me. I am only working a full day on Friday's and my husband works out of a home office so I am very flexible regarding availability.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by family dogs of all shapes and sizes, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life! For the past two years, I’ve also worked as a dog walker, gaining experience with different breeds, personalities, energy levels, and needs. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your pup is up for a big adventure, a leisurely stroll, or simply some extra cuddles, I’m always happy to give them the attention and care they deserve! 🐾❤️ I currently have an additional part time job. Our shifts change seasonally but I usually am only working there about 25 hrs a week. I will have lots of spare time to care for your pets! I have a large fenced yard and a 5 level split with one senior dog. Can crate pups in needed and provide them with their own space depending on care needs

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I recently moved to Canada from Ukraine, while my own dog, Oskar, stayed back home with my family. I miss him every day, and caring for other dogs brings me so much joy and helps me feel connected to what I love most. I’ve spent years looking after Oskar as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always treat them with patience, kindness, and love. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Before and after work, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I’m available for overnight stays, evenings, weekends, and longer bookings. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and provide regular photo and message updates, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I believe every dog deserves to feel relaxed, loved, and at home while their family is away :)

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.

About: Hi, I’m Bethany! Here’s what you can expect when you choose me to care for your pets: Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles, I developed a deep understanding of animals and their needs. My family was involved in professional dog agility, and I’ve had the privilege of raising and caring for border collies. If you have a high-energy dog, I’m well-equipped to handle them. From helping little puppies take their first steps to supporting senior dogs enjoying their golden years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages. I’m experienced with administering medications, supporting mobility, and ensuring your pets are comfortable and well cared for. Throughout 2023 and 2024, I have fostered animals in need through the Calgary Humane Society. We’ve hosted a variety of animals, including kittens, seniors, and pets recovering from surgery. Every pet is treated with the care and respect they deserve. I understand that it’s not just about taking care of the pets—it’s about ensuring your home stays in top shape. With years of experience cleaning and maintaining an Airbnb with my family, I’m detail-oriented and committed to keeping your home neat, tidy, and well-maintained while you’re away. I love spending time outdoors, whether it’s taking energetic dogs for a run or leisurely walks with seniors. Whether it’s leashed or off-leash, we’ll make the most of our time outside, and your pet will enjoy every minute. I’m dedicated to providing quality care for your pets and home, ensuring everything is taken care of while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! My family dog typically lives with me for the summer as I have more time off work and I live an active lifestyle that lends itself well to a high-energy pet! I take him on an off-leash walk for at least an hour each day. I ensure that animals are not left alone for longer than 4 hours at a time. I work a hybrid job between home and in-person so I am able to accommodate the animals schedule into my routine very easily. My partner and I live in a pet-friendly apartment shared with a housemate. We can easily crate your dog if that is a part of their routine. Otherwise most hours of the day one of the two of us is home to provide all animals with us with the care and attention they require.

About: I’m a professional dog trainer with hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities. My experience includes obedience training, leash skills, structured walks, confidence building, and working with dogs who need extra guidance or structure. I believe walks should be more than simply getting a dog from point A to point B. They’re a chance to explore, get physical and mental exercise, practice good habits, and enjoy time outside. I tailor each walk to the individual dog, whether they need a relaxed sniffing walk, some extra exercise, or a little training mixed into their outing. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’d love to meet you and your pup beforehand so we can go over their routine, needs, and anything important for me to know. I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, except for sundays, making it easy for me to provide consistent and reliable pet care. I can fit walks, drop-ins, and other care into my daily routine while giving each dog the time and attention they need. My flexible availability also allows me to accommodate different schedules and care needs. I care for every pet based on their individual needs, routine, and comfort level. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and make sure their pet receives the appropriate exercise, enrichment, feeding, and attention. As a dog trainer, I’m comfortable handling dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I always prioritize safety, structure, and a positive experience.

About: I had a dog since I was 8, and during that time, my family tought more than just care her 😊💖. Maybe my english isn't the best, but I can completely communicate with them without words, just attention and love. I'm actually working office full-Time job, however, I could share time with your pet during afternoon, overnight and weekends. Am I allowed to sleep with them? 🤭 During a sitting, I love double check doors and fences, take a look of the area I will share with my little paw friend, where is located their food/water, catch potential hazards and how we can play and share a good time. Of course, I would like to give the pet time to adapt to my presence before reaching to them, to respect their space.

About: Currently I have two little rescue pups and live with my daughter, who will look after ours while I am lovingly caring for your pets! I grew up with a dog and only a few years after being on my own, got a wonderful cat from a litter who all needed homes. After nearly 19 wonderful years with Elmo, I wanted to help a friend who runs a dog rescue and foster 2 little rescue pups, ones who weren’t chosen at an adoption event. Well, after about a day, I become what is known as a “foster failure” and have had Angel & Dasher for nearly 10 years now! Animals are truly a part of my life, I beyond love my little rescue pups, every good dog owner truly believes they love theirs the most, myself included. Because I’m retired and live with my daughter (who will stay with ours), I am able to spend many/many hours at your home, not just keeping your fur babies great company, I will serve a bit of a security person, keeping your home well lived in while you are away. I am comfortable and confident with puppies and cats also, you can have a pet cam set up of course. I am completely open and honest, will follow any directions perfectly and would love to be chosen and trusted by you to care for your most precious fur family members!!! Being retired, my schedule is completely open, during the days and evenings, 7 days a week! Because I live with my daughter, who will look after our pups, I am able to spend full days and sleep over in your home. If you’re just needing the drop in service, I’ll spend a lot of time with your pet, doing whatever it is they may need, from just letting out for a bathroom break to lounging lazily with cats who crave this affection!!! My two little pups get walks, weather dependent here in Calgary, along with atleast 3 “pee breaks” during the day and with a large back yard, the morning one is often spent outside for almost an hour, enjoying my coffee. I will spend the same amount of time and energy with your pets, fully dependent on your specific needs and wishes!

About: Your dogs second best friend! I am a former dog walker looking to fill some extra time I have, what better way to fill it with your good boy/girl! If your pet has food limitations they're in luck as I am the owner of Dognut Cafe; organically handmade pet treats and pizzas! I certainly would treat your dogs as though they are my own. I instantly fall in love with every dog I meet! And... My son certainly takes after his Mom! He respects each dogs space, doesn't stare them in the eyes, and loves and respects them all the same. Currently we have a very friendly and very sweet Corgi named Eevee. As a pet care giver I would ensure your dog is clean before returning home, as well as leave a journal entry or a note behind informing you of our day. I can even send you photos during our time together. I can also do live videos, special occasions photo (Winter Solstice Reindeer / Christmas Stocking, Easter Doggy, National dog day, Halloween Costume Walk...) I have my first aid and pet first aid, so I can administer medications (need written directions for insurance purposes) as well as give them all the love they need while awaiting your return. Please reach out if your budget doesn't allow for these prices. I can always adjust on the back end, it's about fit not finances. Daycare / Boarding: Presently I work from home and have the flexibility to move around as I see fit. Buckmaster Park is a block away for shaded walks throughout the day. Perfect for dogs of all kinds! No fence, relief as desired. During assessment with any pet service provider it's important to discuss limitations and the length of time a dog can be left alone. This will be clearly outlined during our first meeting. Please note this is a household so there is human activity occurring; we leave to grocery shop, run errands, have friends and neighbours pop in. ALL of which will be in the best interest of the animals during this time away, and minimized if discussed prior to. PLEASE communicate the exact needs of your dog / schedule as I will mimic to the best of my ability. Dog Sitting (in clients home): no one else will be allowed in the home unless otherwise agreed upon: in writing!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Bragg Creek

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bragg Creek is $39 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $47 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 1,893 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Bragg Creek. About 89% of Bragg Creek sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:

  • Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
  • House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
  • Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.

Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bragg Creek choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.

If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.

For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
