“Sascha took excellent care of our sweet pup while we were away on a vacation. She was flexible, communicative, and took excellent photos! It is obvious Sascha knows a lot about taking care of animals and loves being around them. Will definitely book again!”
“Scott & Carly were amazing for our pup Rider! They were so kind and helpful throughout the entire process, and Rider immediately loved them as soon as he met them :) We were very nervous to leave Rider as we haven’t left him with anyone for years and he has some separation anxiety but Scott and Carly were incredible throughout the whole process, making us feel comfortable, answering all of our (many) questions, and sending daily updates and pictures. Rider also has allergies and requires some pills and supplements that they were more than happy to accommodate, which we were so grateful for. We would absolutely have Rider stay with them again and can’t recommend them enough! Thanks for taking such good care of our baby :)”
“This was Bella & Zoes first stay, it was a positive experience for both. The updates during their stay helped us see they settled in well & enjoyed being around new people & other dogs. Great care was taken of Bella due to her severe stress during the thunderstorm. We will definitely book again, thanks to Hongxiang & family.”
“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!!”
“Lovely experience having Camille looking after our dog. Really good communication throughout whole interaction. Meet and greet beforehand to get acquainted. Accommodated our schedule for pickups and drop offs. Was great with our dog. Only boards one dog at a time so very attentive and loving and updates us throughout. Will book with Camille next time we need a sitter :)”
“France was incredible! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog for 5 days with her and Hank. She sent me daily updates with pictures included, she was flexible with timings and so patient. Hank was such a great dog and I’m so glad he was there for my dog. Hav already discussed with France on the next time I’ll need her services!”
About: I grew up around animals and have been a pet parent for most of my adult life. I'm currently parent to my Puli Thunder and my corn snake Ruby.Whether it is popping in to check on your cars while you're away for the weekend, taking your dog for a walk part way through the work day, or something more intensive, I will make sure you're furry family members are safe and happy. I use positive reinforcement dog training and offer on leash walks at the moment. I have cat sit and dog sit for friends and family for well over a decade and am familiar with making sure everyone has their needs met, including food, water, medication, exercise and enrichment. Currently doing full time pet care while working from home on writing. My schedule is based around the animals needs and I fit the rest in in between. I have a 6 year old Puli who gets a minimum of three walks a day and loves to have other animals around to socialize with.
“Hannah was a great handler for my energetic GSP. I also liked that she had so many questions during the meet and greet - it showed that she was committed to making him as comfortable as possible. She was also accommodating picking up and dropping off Trigger. Would highly recommend!”
“Lindsay took care of Teddy for 2 whole weeks while we were on away on a family vacation. We missed him so much but her daily updates and pictures let us know that he was having the best time with her! She really went out of her way to make sure he felt comfortable and loved. I honestly don't think I could have enjoyed our time away if we didn't have Lindsay.”
“It was my first time using Rover and our first time leaving our dog with someone we don’t know. Hui and her son were so great with Darnit and even sent us a couple of videos. I would definitely re-book with Hui!”
“Stacy and Iain were so accommodating and wonderful with our dog Raffi. They sent us photos every day and were quick to answer any questions we had! Would absolutely recommend them to take care of anyone’s pup :) thanks so much again!”
“Timothy and his partner are amazing dog lovers. They were super accommodating with our delayed flight and watched Ombu so that Ombu didn’t have to spend time alone for hours. We are very lucky to have Timothy and his partner to watch Ombu. We always had a good experience with them and would 💯 recommend!”
“Zipeng just took care of our precious boy Cooper while we were on a trip, and we could not have been happier with the results. He is so good at updating throughout the day, and sent lots of pictures and videos of everything they were getting up to. They went on so many walks, dog park hangouts, and play times that Cooper got such great exercise and socialization. Zipeng truly treated Cooper as his own and we know that he was very loved during his stay. We'll absolutely be working with Zipeng again!”
“Merron took great care of Rocky, communicated regularly about how he was doing and sent adorable pictures! Her dog, Hailey, was a great playmate for Rocky and the fenced yard was ideal for them to romp around and play in.”
“Tia and Luke were fantastic! They made me feel at ease, sent updates and were super responsive. Casper is so funny and perfectly complimented my dog. Will definitely book again with them.”
“I found ourselves needing a dog sitter on very short notice, and couldn't have been luckier to find her. From the moment we connected, she was kind, professional, and incredibly accommodating. She has a genuine love for dogs, and it showed in the care and attention she gave to my pup. What really stood out was her experience and specialization with senior dogs. She was patient, understanding, and attentive to my dog's unique needs, which gave me complete peace of mind while away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and It's clear that caring for animals is more than just a job for her—it's a passion. We received updates, knew our dog was being well cared for, and came home to a happy, relaxed pup. dog sitter, especially if you have a senior dog. I will absolutely be using her services again in the future!”

Jack was incredibly accommodating and friendly. He was really easy to communicate with and always quick to respond. We received several update pictures and messages and felt totally at ease that he was taking great care of our fur baby. We will certainly be repeat customers and would highly recommend booking Jack to care for your pet!
Rebecca was absolutely incredible with our doodle! Her communication was wonderful, and it was clear that she cared for him as if he were her own. From all the love and cuddles to the thoughtful care she provided, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’re so grateful to have found her, and we know he’ll be spending lots more time with her in the future!
Atussa was so amazing with my double amputee dog. She was so attentive and great to plan and organize with, so accommodating. She sent me a few pictures per day of my dog, and took him on many outings to the off leash dog park. I can't express enough how good and comforting it felt to leave my dog with someone so great. Took so much stress off of me. Highly highly recommend Atussa!
Our dog Bonnie had a great 12-night boarding stay with Taylor! Taylor provided regular walks (managing encounters with rabbits and dogs — Bonnie is reactive to dogs) and toys to play with at home. She provided updates and photos on Bonnie’s stay every day. Bonnie was rested and relaxed when we picked her up! We hope to book Taylor again when we next need boarding.
Our dog Molly had a great time with Bethnie and Bikram. She was out for lots of walks to different parks, playing with other dogs and getting lots of exercise and attention. Bethnie sends lots of pictures and videos keeping you abreast of your dog’s activities. I would definitely use them again
Nadine was fantastic with our 6-month old Bernese puppy. What I most appreciated about this experience was Nadine’s communication, responsiveness, and how pro-active she was in organizing a meet and greet with us. This was my first time leaving our puppy with someone, and it could not have gone any better.
We left our dog with Stephanie over thanksgiving and was great! We met up beforehand to get Oakley accustomed and went over everything needed for the boarding. Stephanie regularly sent updates and took Oakley for walks. Oakley was very happy afterwards. We highly recommend!
Serrina was wonderful! My pup seemed to have a great time - I was updated with lots of photos throughout his stay and he was happy and calm when I picked him up at the end. Serrina accommodated his food and supplement needs without issue, she was competent and experienced. This was his first stay with her, and I had peace of mind that he was in good hands after the first brief meeting!
Elisa helped us with our dog Almond. She was so sweet and took such good care of Almond. She kept updating us throughout and was very responsive. We really appreciate her taking care of our dog for 3 more hours than the expected pickup time as we were stuck due to an emergency. I would highly highly suggest her for boarding and have Almond stay with her again 😀

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Calgary is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $61 per night. 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.
sitters in Calgary have an average of 15 years of experience. Each sitter has their own unique experience and skill sets for different types of pets. You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile. Look at other pet parent reviews and repeat pet parent booking rates for an idea of their pet care exp erience.

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.
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.

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.

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 and your Calgary sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
