I especially loved the photos he sent—my dog looked so incredibly happy and comfortable in every single one of them. I will definitely be leaving my dog with Allen again in the future.

She has a calm, positive energy, and I could tell Bud was comfortable, and settled in by the photos she sent.

I wouldn't hesitate to book with Suzanne again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their dog.”

Carolina and Andres took care of our pup for 2 nights. They sent lots of updates and photos, and took excellent care of our girl. They also accommodated two unanticipated medications on short notice, which we so greatly appreciated. We will not hesitate to ask Carolina and Andres to care for our pup again and would recommend them to other pet owners.
Best sitters for your babies ♥️ They send so many pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our baby girl was so happy and clearly enjoyed her stay with them. We could tell she was loved and well cared for. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring dog sitters! 🐾

From the moment we walked into Nadine's home I knew we made a great choice to have her look after our beagle, Otis. She had lots of toys, treats, and multiple dog beds for him to enjoy during his stay, when we left he had already made himself at home with Pinky. During his stay she sent lots of photos and great updates throughout the day. Such a pleasure, we would highly recommend Nadine!
I couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience for Odin! He spent the entire time playing with her dog and had an absolute blast. It was so reassuring knowing he was happy, comfortable, and getting so much exercise and attention. She was wonderful to communicate with and made me feel completely at ease leaving him overnight. I picked up one very happy (and very tired!) pup. I would absolutely trust her with Odin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog Finn with Katherine. She has a very calm demeanour and you can tell she absolutely loves dogs. She sent us photos of Finn throughout his stay and he looked super happy to be hanging out with her. We’ll definitely choose Katherine again when we need a pet sitter in the future!
Lindsay was amazing! Sammy, who can be a bit of a nervous dog at first, felt comfortable right away, and made herself right at home. Lindsay was wonderful at giving Sammy her medication-which is not an easy task, lol. And I loved all the updates I got from Lindsay too. Plus, Lindsay accepted my booking request last minute, without any issues. I’d definitely recommend Lindsay and book with her again.
Kimberly did an amazing job looking after my senior dog, Norm, for six days. She kept me informed with daily updates and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She was a great communicator, very caring, and clearly treated Norm like one of her own. Norm also got along really well with her dog, Baloo, which was great to hear. I would absolutely recommend Kimberly and would happily have her watch Norm again!
Fantastic experience! This was a last minute booking for me so I was a bit nervous to leave my girl for 3 nights but Javiera was quick to respond, flexible and made me feel so comfortable. She sent frequent pictures and updates. Francine came home happy and tired and really became part of their family for the weekend. I would definitely rebook- they also have a fantastic fenced in back yard! Thank you so much for taking such good care of Francine.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Calgary on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Calgary 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 Calgary
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. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
