“Absolutely amazing! We had our two pups watched while we went on vacation. They are so diligent and communicative. We received lots of videos and photos of our pups, which gave us so much piece of mind! Would highly recommend 💖”
“Sascha is amazing! Wiley always has a great time staying with Sascha and is excited to come back each time we drop him off! Communication with Sascha is great and she always sends a few great photos of Wiley during his stay. Happy to recommend Sascha to others!”
“What a great experience Gracie had staying with Jeanette. I can tell how content she was when we picked her up. I know she had lots of cuddles with Jeannette’s family members and what a great house to be able to stay in. We also got updates and pictures of Gracie regularly. We will definitely look up Jeanette again when we need caring for Gracie. Thank you so much until next time.”
“Scott & Carly were very accessible and a pleasure to deal with. We coordinated a quick meet and greet and they even set up a drop off with my friend while I was out of town. I appreciated the attention to detail and photos. It seems like Duck was very cared for! Will definitely book with them again.”
“This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Leaving Fili with Mariel and Bram felt so safe and reassuring. From the very first message I received from Mariel, I could tell she was the perfect person. She was incredibly kind and warm. From the moment Fili stayed with her, she constantly sent me photos and videos, which meant a lot to me. She created such fun and meaningful experiences for Fili and taught him so much. They went on walks several times a day, and I could clearly see how happy Fili was. Mariel takes care of dogs with true love, and that’s something really special about her. I’m usually a very anxious person when it comes to my dog, but with Mariel, I felt completely at ease. I truly hope that whenever I need to leave my dog with someone, it can always be Mariel. Mariel, I’m so happy to have met you and Bram. Thank you for being so professional, caring, and wonderful.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Allen and Darrell! They were incredibly responsive and kept me updated throughout Pico’s stay with lots of photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Pico was well cared for and receiving plenty of attention and affection. They were also very flexible with pickup arrangements, which I really appreciated. When I picked Pico up, he was happy and all tuckered out from his walks. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable pet sitters.”
“Smokey had a wonderful week with Sara while we were away on vacation. She took such good care of him, taking him for frequent walks, playing fetch with him, and hanging out with him in the backyard. She provided us with updates and photos multiple times a day and he always had a big smile on his face. Thanks Sara for taking such good care of our boy.”
“Millie & Scout were great. My pup had a fantastic time, got a ton of exercise, and just got to be a dog without helicopter dad railing on her parade. She got to swim, run, play in the park, and still came home clean and proper despite the wet weather! Very happy with our stay. 😊 Would recommend!”
“Our lil guy loved his stay! They’re fantastic at communicating and sent lots of updates/photos. They went above and beyond to build a relationship with our pup and kept him well exercised! 10/10 recommend!”
“Pamela was amazing with Monroe. Having a bigger breed can sometimes be intimidating but Pamela’s soft and gentle approach was the right fit for Monroe. Pamela made sure Monroe got her walks in and updates were sent. I would definitely recommend Pamela to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Will definitely be booking again.”
“Adam was so caring and kind with our dog, Darnit. He paid extra attention to her on the first two days because she missed home. He sent updates, photos and videos.”
“Tracy and her husband took such great care of our dog, Snowy while we were on vacation and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. We were always updated on his day and Tracy shared photos throughout his stay. Book your dog’s next stay with them, you won’t have to worry and won’t disappointed!”
“Suzanne was fantastic with Bud! From the start, she was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She has a calm, positive energy, and I could tell Bud was comfortable, and settled in by the photos she sent. He came home happy and exhausted after three days of being with Suzanne which, as a dog owner, is about the best outcome you can ask for. 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.”
“Eileen is highly responsible, reliable, and treats your pet as her own. She's very communicative, provides daily photos and updates, takes dogs for lots of adventures and keeps you updated through the process.”
“I recently boarded my dog with Paula for four days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, she was professional, warm, and welcoming. My puppy had an absolute blast and has definitely found a new best friend! What I appreciated most were her frequent updates—she sent photos, videos, and little notes each day, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing my dog was happy and safe. It’s clear she genuinely cares for the dogs she looks after, treating them as her own family. I highly recommend her boarding service to anyone in need of a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. We’ll definitely be returning in the future!”

They took such good care of our puppy , Aapa and frequently shared updates and videos/ pics throughout the day. We felt really comfortable with their prompt communication, appreciated the thorough questions they asked prior to the boarding and their genuine care for our pup. 10/10.
Lindsay took such great care of Boogie while we were away. She was very kind, patient, attentive, and always kept me updated, which made me feel so much more comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I really appreciated how she followed all of his care instructions and gave him the attention he needed. Thank you so much for taking care of Boogie like he was your own. I would definitely book with Lindsay again and highly recommend her! 🐶💕
Marial, Bram and Pepe took great care of our Charlie! They sent lots of photos, and took him on fun adventures. Our kids loved seeing what Charlie was up to each day. I’ve never used a service like this and would definitely book a stay with them again. They were caring, warm and flexible and went well above what I would have expected. I’d give 6 stars if I could!
Absolutely amazing care for our Nova. Thank you for going above and beyond and providing our girl a quiet peaceful time away from home. All the communication and pictures were very sweet and helped reassure us that you had it all covered. She’s not an easy pup to care for with her PTSD and Sascha made it seem like the best time.
This was our first time using Rover services. Our Bichon/shihtzu cross Rosie fell in love with Serrina from the first moment. Normally anxious she started walking away to Serrina’s home looked back at us, as if to say okay you can go now, I’m off to my doggy spa weekend lol. Dogs know who they like and she LOVED Serrina. No anxiety. We had a family event for four days and Serrina made us feel comfortable from beginning to end with photos and videos daily of our Rosie. Rosie was especially lucky because Serrina was okay with her to sleep on the bed, Rosie’s fave - she loves to be with people. We are from BC, so when we are back in Calgary and need a sitter again, we will absolutely be calling Serrina. Beautiful person and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you again Serrina!!
Veronica is an incredible pet sitter! I had her board my pet in the Downtown Calgary area while we spent the whole day in Banff. The entire experience was seamless. Her communication was top-notch—she kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. You can tell she truly cares about the animals in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and trustworthy sitter!
I couldn’t recommend Kennedy enough! She was absolutely amazing with Nessa and made me feel so at ease knowing she was in such good hands. She sent me so many pictures, videos and updates throughout, which I absolutely loved and really appreciated. My flight ended up being delayed, and Kennedy was so kind and accommodating about keeping Nessa for the extra time, which took so much stress off me. Kennedy is such a lovely, sweet person and her communication was amazing from start to finish. I felt completely at peace knowing Nessa was being so well looked after. I’m so grateful for her kindness and would honestly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog! ❤️
Tracy was great to my dog, Lotte! She sent lots of photos and kept me in the loop on how their sleepover was going. Lotte came back happy and absolutely exhausted from long walks and play time. This was my first time ever using Rover and I am thankful that Tracy was available for us. 100% recommend.
Scott and Carly were amazing with Stella during her 2 night stay. They are so kind and caring and exceptional with communication. They handled all of Stella’s little quirks wonderfully. We were able to enjoy our time away even more knowing she was in such loving hands. Thanks Scott and Carly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Calgary on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 1,034 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Calgary. 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 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
