“So thankful for Mariel, Bram and Pepe! I could tell from the pictures and videos that Malo was being his silly self right away, which shows he was totally comfortable. They shared a bunch of updates throughout the whole stay, that made me feel at peace being away from my pup. I would recommend Mariel and Brad to any dog owners who want to find a fun, caring family while away from their pup.”
“The cats came home happy and relaxed - the space available to them was spacious and bright with lots for them to see and do. Jeanette and family are lovely and we felt very comfortable leaving the cats with them. Highly recommend!”
“My dog Pepper loves Maria and Ryan’s place SO MUCH. Maybe even a little more than being home! They have been caring for my dog Pepper for a while; mostly for daycare but also for a few overnight stays. Maria and Ollie greet me when I drop Pepper off in the morning and I get plenty of cute updates throughout the day. I can’t recommend them enough, and I am so very grateful for the care they’ve provided.”
“Scott was super swift at the replies and helping me organise a quick one night stay. Moose came out of there as normal as ever so I guess it all went well!? Haha some people give off good vibes, these are definitely those people!”
“Tracey & Richard provided the most incredible care for my daughter’s puppy, Mr. Banks. From the moment he arrived, it was clear how much love for animals fills their home. They made Banks feel completely welcomed and adored in his new surroundings. He had the best time playing with other dogs, going on daily walks, and enjoying so much affection. What meant the most to us was knowing he was cuddled, comforted, and made to feel safe every single day. You can truly feel the warmth and kindness they extend to every animal in their care. We also so appreciated the daily pictures Tracey sent — seeing Banks having so much fun gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We will absolutely use Tracey & Richard again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, attentive, and trustworthy dog sitters. Mr. Banks can’t wait to go back! 🐾💛”
“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!”
“Kateryna is absolutely stellar. She was so communicative, attentive to care details and zealous of our dear Pippa. We had to go away for three weeks in a trip that we couldn’t take Pippa with us and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Kateryna sent us frequent updates through photos and videos and you could tell Pippa was extremely happy and comfortable to be there and we were overjoyed to see how much Pippa was doing well whilst we were away. We are so appreciative of Kateryna and Finnegan for welcoming Pippa into their home for this time. We were so worried that being away for a longer period, if something were to happen or not work out, but Kateryna went above and beyond to make sure her home was a safe and happy environment. Kateryna was very attentive to changes in mood, health, and patterns of behavior that she would notice and ask us if they were normal or new, and Pippa was very healthy and happy all throughout. It was clear that Pippa enjoyed herself so much that although she was happy to see us, she wouldn’t have minded staying there longer 😂 all our gratitude and love to Kateryna for her huge heart and kindness with our pup”
“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!”
“Adam and Gordon took care of Lulu like she was their own dog. They were quick to answer messages, and sent daily updates with photos/videos. She came home happy and tired - we’ll be taking her back soon and would recommend them to a friend!”
“I was updated throughout the day by Dominika regarding Prince's activity and well-being, which I appreciated! My 14 months old Shepsky was TIRED when he got home and could only summon the energy to eat quickly and then knock out for the rest of the night. As long as Dominka's calendar is open, I'll be taking advantage of her services!”
“Allen looked after my dog for 10 days, and he was absolutely wonderful! Thanks to his amazing care, I could completely focus on my work without a single worry. Allen is incredibly nice and genuinely loves taking my dog out for walks. He kept me updated the entire time, letting me know what my dog was doing and eating, which gave me great peace of mind. 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. Highly recommended!”
“Elizabeth was great caring for our senior pup. Tilly was with her for 40 nights and had an adventure of a lifetime. Camping trips, dog parks, exploring the city and hanging with lots of new friends. We came home to a very happy and healthy girl.”
“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!”
“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!”

I hired Nadine to sit my parent's dog overnight. She was very responsive and professional and provided regular updates on how Gus was doing. It is obvious that Nadine has a strong love and care for dogs, and we were confident that Gus was in great hands. Highly recommend Nadine!
Deanna is amazing. I left my “reactive” dog with her for a week after not being able to have family look after him as usual. I was worried due to how he lunges at other dogs and people. Deanna and Scarlett welcomed him into their home and he had the time of his life. He ended up behaving so well that he was going on off leash dog park walks multiple times a day. I appreciate Deanna so much as I have piece of mind when leaving my furbaby with her. She also updated me multiple times a day and it was very obvious he was a happy dog. Wilbur will be going on vacation at Deanna’s house again.
Tracy and Richard were absolutely wonderful. They took amazing care of Mookie once again, and despite her health concerns, I always have peace of mind knowing she is with them. Their kindness, attention, and dedication mean so much, and I know Mookie is in great hands. Thank you both! 💕🐾
We had such a great experience with Mariel and Bram looking after Benji. They really went above and beyond and treated him like one of their own. We got loads of updates with photos and videos throughout the day, which was so reassuring to see him having such a great time. He went on plenty of walks and even got taken out to patios, which he loved. It was clear he was really well cared for and happy the whole time. We’d happily recommend Mariel and Bram to anyone and would definitely use them again!
So grateful that I was able to find a safe place for my dog with Almendra. I never thought boarding was an option for my dog given her complex feeding n medication schedule, plus she not bein so friendly with other dogs. But Almendra was so accommodative from the get go. She diligently made notes of every little detail and gave me pictures and daily updates. She is super cool and calm and made it all feel so easy when actually I'm sure it wasn't! Thank you!
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!
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.

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
- 91% 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.
