“Daeun was fantastic! This was my first time using Rover so I was apprehensive leaving my cat for a few days, but after the first visit and update from Daeun I knew that I didn’t have to worry. My cat warmed up to her quickly, was well cared for and they had a great time together. I would definitely rebook with Daeun in the future.”
“Erika was great! She sent us updates and a photo or two daily so we could see how our kitty was making out, and came back to a very clean house, just like no one had even been here! We'll definitely be booking her the next time we are out of town!”
“Ginger had a great time with Bri. We received daily updates on the well being of our cat with pictures. He seems to have thoroughly enjoyed the stay with Bri. Will definitely recommend their services for pet boarding.”
“Danielle took great care of Preto for a week while I was traveling. She sent regular updates and lovely photos, which really reassured me that he was in good hands. I really appreciated her communication and would happily book with her again!”
“We are repeat customers of Olivia’s and she always does such a good job taking care of our two kitties. Our house is spotless and she makes being away from home feel so easy. Highly recommend!”
“Miranda was great with our cat Twister, he is a very cuddly cat and he clearly felt very comfortable to cuddle with her. Also really appreciated her clear communication and flexibility in her schedule to keep Twister company, as well as taking care of our place in our absence. Thanks Miranda for everything!”
“Svitlana went above and beyond for our cat! She gave frequent updates, with pictures, and was quick to respond. Our poor kitty also had an ingrown nail we noticed the day we dropped her off. Svitlana monitored the condition and then took her to the vet for us. We highly recommend Svitlana for your pet care needs!”
“Alissa was patient and sweet with our skittish cat, Tuna! She cared for him while we were away for 10 days and was really good about sending updates and photos. She was able to build trust with him, which really impressed us. If you’re looking for a reliable and kind sitter, Alissa is great!”
“Ryan didn’t outstanding job looking after my dog Duke. I came home to a very happy boy who is more behaved and better looking than when I left. Ryan was very punctual and I will definitely get him again anytime I go away if he’s available.”
“We had an awesome experience having Cora stay at our house and watch our cat. She sent us daily updates and gave our cat lots of attention, play time, and treats. Our house was kept in great condition and clean when we arrived home. She also went the extra mile to water our plants and turn on our humidifier before we got home. Highly recommend Cora!”
“Eve did a wonderful job taking care of my two kitties. I came back to happy and calm cats, which doesn’t always happen. Eve communicated well and took excellent care of our place. I highly recommend and will use Eve again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 17 years old and my next door neighbours asked me to watch their two cats while on vacation, and I haven’t looked back since! I love caring for cats and dogs and have been a trusted pet-sitter amongst my family and group of friends for years. As a previous nervous pet owner, I understand that some special pets need one on one care and attention. While your pet is in my care, they are the only one, ensuring they get the TLC they need so you can rest easy. I’ve truly found my niche as a dog walker, and I as a very active person, I understand sometimes just a walk around the block isn’t enough. I love to walk, run, and rollerblade so if you have a high energy pup who needs to go out for a few kilometers in order to feel rested and settled, I’m your gal! I am currently a full time student studying yoga, Pilates and mindful movement, so my schedule is open during weekdays to help you with all your walking and drop in needs. I am extremely flexible and more than happy to work with you based on your pet’s needs and your personal preferences. I have no pets in my home currently, which allows me to give undivided attention to your fur babies on a constant basis.
“Sloan took excellent care of our babies while we were away. She sent us updates whenever needed and seemed to build a great bond with both Charlie and Cléo, which pleasantly surprised us since Cléo is usually a little more reserved 😅. We are very grateful for all the care and attention she gave them.”
“Julie was amazing! She stayed overnight, took great care of everything, and kept the house very clean and organized. I really appreciated how responsible and thoughtful she was. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future”
“Shiloh was fantastic with our 2 cats while we were on vacation. She even got our tortie to come out from under the bed which never happens! She went above my expectations and we would happily book her again!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! She watched all four of my cats at her home from 8:30 AM to 5 PM, and I couldn’t have been happier with how well they were cared for. She was extremely reliable, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the day. She sent me lots of photos and even asked before giving them treats, which I really appreciated. She was absolutely lovely with all four of my cats, and they were relaxed and happy the entire time. Even my very nervous kitty settled in surprisingly quickly! My baby kitten unfortunately had an accident on the way there and got poop all over my other cats, and she was incredibly kind and understanding about it. She cleaned them up for me without making a fuss, which I was so grateful for. All four of my cats came home happy, comfortable, and clearly had a great time at her place. I would absolutely trust her with my cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, responsible, and genuinely wonderful with animals! ❤️🐱”
About: Hi! I'm a veterinary professional currently working in a Canadian animal hospital, and I genuinely love getting to know every pet's unique personality. My veterinary experience means I'm comfortable administering oral medications, recognizing when something isn't quite right, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. But what really sets me apart is earning their trust whether that's throwing the ball one more time, stopping to sniff every tree, or patiently winning over a shy pup with treats and kindness. I'll follow your pet's routine, give them plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles (if they're into that!), and keep you updated with lots of photos. My goal is simple, to make your pet feel loved, safe, and excited to see me again. I work in an animal hospital, so caring for pets is already a big part of my daily life. My schedule varies from week to week, which actually gives me flexibility to provide pet care on many weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I always keep my Rover calendar updated so you'll know exactly when I'm available. When I'm with your pet, they have my full attention and care I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I never take that responsibility lightly. I carefully follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, medications, exercise needs, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to body language and behavior, because even small changes can tell us a lot. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, my priority is creating a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can relax and be themselves. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, because I know that's exactly what I'd want if someone were caring for my own pet.

DAEUN was a great, attentive, detail oriented, caring, cat loving caregiver! I'm so glad I chose her for our 2 week trip. She has made extra visits for meet and greet and her reports were extremely detailed and she takes really awesome pictures! Charlotte has been sick since she was a kitten and had been through surgery and different medical procedures. Therefore she is very shy and fearful of strangers. It takes her a long time to feel at ease and Daeun did exactly that. Within a few days, Charlotte has warmed up to her and no longer looked stressed or sad. I was relieved to see that. Thank you Daeun! 💖💖
Stephanie was wonderful! We booked her for drop-in visits over three days while we were away, and she took great care of our shy 6-month-old kitten, Mika. She kindly agreed to a free meet-and-greet before our trip and was patient and gentle with Mika from the start. She was punctual, followed our routine, played with Mika, fed her, cleaned the litter box, and kept everything tidy. We especially appreciated the photos and thoughtful updates about Mika’s mood, behaviour, and appetite. It was lovely to see Mika gradually warm up to Stephanie! Her attentiveness and communication gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. We’d happily book with Stephanie again and highly recommend her!
This is the second time I’ve booked with Jiayu. She’s done such an amazing job taking care of my baby over my extended time away. She has done what I’ve asked and more. I’m so excited to receive her updates and amazing photos everyday. I trust her and would 100% book again.
Nancy was amazing! She was so thorough in our initial meeting and took so much time getting to know the cats and their home. She spent so much time playing with the kitties, and I'm especially impressed with how she befriended my very very very shy kitty. I will definitely be reaching out to her again!!
This is the second time Maryam has looked after my cat while we’ve been away, and both experiences have been absolutely wonderful! My cat is extremely antisocial and can be quite difficult to win over, but Maryam has such a great understanding of feline behaviour and knows exactly how to approach cats with challenging temperaments. It says a lot that my cat genuinely loves her! She’s knowledgeable, patient, and clearly has a natural way with animals. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
This was our second booking with Miranda. She is reliable and provides prompt and thorough updates on how our cats are doing when we are away. Knowing our cats are well taken care of brings us such peace of mind. We would highly recommend her for pet sitting!
We have been booking Johanna on multiple occasions, for more than a year now and we cannot be more happy to have found her. Johanna is responsive, professional and dedicated to her clients. We love reading her reports and always feel good knowing our cat had a great time with her.
Sina was absolutely wonderful with Jasper! He took such great care of him during the three days I was away, and Jasper felt very comfortable and happy with him. I really appreciated all the pictures and videos Sina sent me,it gave me so much peace of mind knowing Jasper was happy. Sina was caring, reliable, and great with cats. I would definitely recommend him and would be happy to have him look after Jasper again!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Calgary 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.

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.
