About: With 12 years of pet care experience and three dogs of my own, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My three girls, Bisquick, Basil, and Blanche, range from small to medium-large size, giving me daily experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I love pet sitting because of my passion for animals and my active lifestyle. Spending moments with dogs through walks, and quality time is something I genuinely enjoy. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving pet parents peace of mind when they need a hand with their furbabies. 🐾 I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to provide ample availability. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with a companion, I'm happy to provide their care. Safety, comfort, and routine come first. As a dog owner, I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet's needs, along with regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I’m a caring and reliable pet lover who truly enjoys spending time with dogs. I offer dog walking and pet sitting services to help keep your furry friends happy, healthy, and well cared for while you’re busy or away. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, playtime, or just some companionship, I will treat them like my own—with patience, love, and attention. I’m responsible, gentle, and always make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. If you’re planning to travel and need someone to take care of your dog, I’m also available for in-home pet sitting. I can stay at your place, and the schedule can be flexible depending on how much care and companionship your dog needs. Feel free to let me know your dog’s routine, and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I don’t currently have a pet of my own, but I have plenty of experience caring for dogs for my family and friends. I truly enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I also don’t mind preparing simple meals for dogs if needed, especially for those who don’t eat regular dog food. I always do my best to follow the owner’s preferences and keep their routine consistent.
“Madison has rescued me more than once when I've needed last minute pet-sitting. She is a delight - always responsive and compassionate to my boys' needs and understands/supports my obsessive pet parent need to have lots of updates! She's the best.”
“Olivia dropped in on our cats while we were camping. Her communication before and during the stays was great! She sent me some pictures and made me feel at ease knowing someone was watching them 😊 I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies. Thanks Olivia!”
“We were grateful that Chloe was able to take care of our 2 cats through drop in visits while we were away on vacation. This is the 2nd time we've booked Chloe and couldn't be happier with the care she provided for our cats. She sent plenty of updates and pictures and even notified us about a very important document we received from our landlord. She followed all our instructions perfectly. I would not hesitate to book Chloe again.”
About: I’ve been in the caregiving profession for 20 years. I’m experienced in caring for people, children and pets. People say they enjoy my compassionate and kindhearted nature. I am reliable and provide a calm environment for your pup in my home or yours! I am available for boarding during the week or on weekends. Evie is home during the day and is a relaxed dog who enjoys sleeping when on her own. She has a lot of toys and loves to share. We have a fenced yard and we walk/run every day. We have lots of room inside if your baby stays in a crate as well.
About: Hi! I’m Brianna! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve had my own dog since I was 12. He was my best friend and a huge part of my life, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us. They’re family! I’ve also worked at a pet boarding facility, where I cared for cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have experience house sitting large dogs and caring for cats in their homes as well. I’m comfortable giving medications, following specific feeding routines, and taking care of the not so glamorous stuff that comes with having pets. My goal is simple: I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog needs lots of walks and playtime, your cat needs some company, or your pet has a very specific routine, I’m happy to follow it. 🐶🐱 I work in person Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 4:30, so I’m primarily available for evening visits, overnight stays, weekends, and walks or drop ins outside of my work hours. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get the care and attention they’re used to. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow each pet’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific needs. I keep doors and gates secure, provide plenty of supervision and attention, and make sure pets are comfortable in their own environment. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and always leave them clean and tidy.
About: Hi! My name is Kennedy 🐾 I recently moved to Calgary from Ontario. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years for my family and friends. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperament. I’m comfortable with everything from walks, feeding, baths, to administering medication, including allergy medication and eye drops. Growing up my family had two dogs. One was adopted from an animal shelter when he was around 7 months and is naturally shy and reactive around other dogs, people, and loud noises. He’s also now a senior dog and partially blind. The other dog is the complete opposite, strong and full of energy. Two dogs with very different personalities, needs, and comfort levels. Before moving to Calgary, I worked as a nurse in Ontario so I understand the importance of responsibility, safety, and reliability. Especially when you’re trusting someone with a member of your family. Looking forward to meeting you and your fluffy friend! 🐶🐾 I have open availability and can be flexible to meet you and your dog’s needs. I am available for boarding on week days and weekends. I live in an apartment close to several parks including Prince’s Island Park. I also know of several quiet places if your dog needs a quiet and less stimulating environment. I can take care of two dogs from the same household at once and will ensure no other pets from other households are in the apartment. This way I can ensure your pet gets the love and attention it needs.
About: I’ve loved dogs all my life and I am looking to foster after this experience on Rover. My family used to own a pet store for 6 years and I would always visit to take care of the animals. I own my own business and work from home which allows me to give your dog the attention it needs. Dogs need lots of energy and I’ve also got lots to give! I live by myself in an apartment at 10th Ave and 8th. I'm responsible, respectful and know how to walk dogs confidently. The best place for a dog to walk is right by your side!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past three years well as growing up around dogs! I’m outdoorsy and love going on walks aswell as cuddling up inside. i’ve taken care of senior dogs who needed medication daily aswell as energetic puppies I’m currently on break from University so i have plenty of time during the day and weekends! Open to pretty much any schedule that is available I have an apartment perfect for small furry friends within a 5 minute walk to fields and dog parks. Spots to crate dogs if trained and needed to do so
About: I’ve loved animals ever since i was a little kid and i have had many dogs and cats around while growing up. I'll love your pets just like they were my pets! I’m currently working part time but i can try to fit boardings on weekends and other activities during the week! Cant wait to see you I’ll always make sure your pets are in a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and pay attention to their individual needs. I also have a friendly cat at home, so I would always make sure any introductions are safe and appropriate.
“Sage loves his cat sitters so much! We always receive the best photos and videos of our kitty to let us know that he's being well taken care of. Very responsive, flexible, and keeps us updated of any problems or concerns.”
“Rebecca has been our go-to cat sitter for our 2 cats over over 2 years. She has taken care of them on many occasions and they absoltely adore her. She sends great photos showing they're having a good time and immediately brings anything to attention that we need to. We are moving out of Calgary so will need to find someone new, but really thank her for all the time she's taken care of our cats.”
“Nataliia was great, She came to visit Terrence during the cold snap we just had and spent some quality time with him. She showed up when she said she would and made sure he was safe and sound. Thanks Nataliia!!”

“Hofai is a friendly and reliable pet sitter. He dropped in on our cat and provided lots of photos and videos to reassure us she was doing just fine. I really appreciated the attention and care for our little girl!”

Hannah has been such a wonderful sitter! Shina can take a little time to warm up to people she’s never stayed home with before, and Hannah has been so patient and caring with her. She’s really gone above and beyond, making sure Shina gets plenty of walks, outdoor time, and attention. She’s also been super accommodating and responsive. We really appreciate everything Hannah has done and would definitely have her watch our girl again!
Shiloh dropped in on Georgia for a week while we were away on vacation. Georgia got along very well with her and they did a lot of snuggling on the couch, which is exactly what she likes to do. We received updates daily and Shiloh is very communicative. We will definitely book with her again in the future.
Kimberly did an amazing job with our senior dog, Finn. She made the time to come meet him (and us) in advance of the booking, which we really appreciated. She is a great communicator and went above and beyond to make sure our pup was happy and taken care of while we were gone. You can tell her love for animals through everything she does. Would definitely love to have her back again!

Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.

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!

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.
