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: Since I was young I lived on a farm taking care of animals and pets. To taming, training and learning tricks. I would teach these to all my pets I’m currently working part time with my hours being adjustable to my schedule. So my week (other then vacations) are free to be helping with pet care I will offer walks, possible training during the walk. Play time in the house. Designated meal times and/or make sure there food and water are full. Also teach the animal tricks.
About: I've cared for all kinds of pets over the years—from parrots and bunnies to countless cats, and one very special dog who lived to be 19 years old. I love quiet cuddle sessions, long walks, and keeping a clean, comfortable space, so I'll make sure your pet's emotional and physical needs are well cared for. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and my mom currently runs a cat shelter in Costa Rica, which has only deepened my love and appreciation for them. I work from home as a marketing professional, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pet with attention throughout the day. Outside of work, you'll usually find me going for long walks, heading out for a run, spending time with friends, or enjoying a quiet evening at home. I'm reliable, active, and genuinely love making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I live on my own in a cozy apartment, so your pet will have my full attention. My building has 24/7 security, and we're just steps away from the Bow River pathways, making it a great location for dogs who enjoy walks. When I recently looked after a friend's cat, I made sure she had everything she needed, including a scratching post and a comfy bed. Like many cats, she quickly found her own favorite perch—on top of my fridge and cabinets! My apartment has plenty of cozy spots for cats to explore, relax, and feel at home.
About: I’ve pet sit for my neighbours cat before and I have had a Morkie for over 7 years now. I’ve grown up around animals and have loved them all my life. I just got back from a long trip and am currently applying for jobs, so I’m looking for ways to spend my free time and would love to help with your pet care needs! I spend a lot of my weekends going on walks anyway, so I’d love to have some dogs to keep me company! I have a fenced backyard in my home and lots of dog friendly parks in my neighbourhood. I love to go outside to play with animals and go for long walks.

About: I’m a bit of a pet whisperer 🐾 even shy or cautious pets usually warm up to me within minutes! I’m patient, gentle, and naturally connect with animals, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. ❤️ Expect plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and photo updates while you’re away!! I usually work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m fully available for house sitting, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of company! 🐾 I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. 🐾 I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, while giving them plenty of attention, love, and company.
“Tiana was able to help me when I was in a tight spot, She was responsive and took great care of my babies. Even my shy cat came out to say hello. I will 100% be using Tiana in the future”

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 I’m a freelancing pet photographer. I do pet sitting as a hobby. Throughout my life, I’ve had the joy of raising two rabbits (one at a time) and two cats (together). Although my current housing doesn't allow pets, my love for animals remains strong — I deeply miss my cats who are now with my family in another city. I had Beanie since she was a baby and I need to feed her goat milk before she is old enough to have dry cat food. I’ve also helped friends with dog sitting, and I enjoyed walking in the street of Calgary and being at a dog park taking photos of the furry ones. I can drive, so I can go somewhere further away from my location if needed. (Travel fee may apply) I will be doing most services on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I will be also available for services in the morning and in the evening on the other days I always treat every pet like they're my own and make them feel safe and chill when I'm around. Bonus: As a passionate pet photographer, I aim to capture at least one professional-quality photo of your pet during each visit. It’s my way of sharing a little something special with you — a lasting memory from your pet’s day. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members!
“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!”

“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!”

“Excellent service. Conner went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable leaving our beloved pets behind for a week. He sent photos and videos. Good communication! Thank you, Conner, we will contact you again for help on future trips!”

I’m also available on weekends. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort and routine while also treating the home with the same respect I would my own. I prefer having written instructions, either digitally or on paper, so I can provide proper care for feeding, walking, and medication. I also can provide updates along with pictures to keep the owner informed!

“Bri was a stupendous sitter for our cat Finn. You could tell she really cared about taking care of him. Her reports were filled with detail and many great photos that gave us the peace of mind that he was being well taken care of with concern and care for his well being.”

“These two were so kind and generous, took the time to meet with our pups and were so patient with our excitable puppy. They were diligent about double checking care details and we just so appreciated their willingness to help. Our cat unexpectedly got aggressive with them and we felt so awful but they still provided regular updates and showed kindness. You and your pets will love these two.”

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!

Svitlana was fantastic with my large senior dog. She arrived on time and showed a lot of patience and care with him, and was always attentive to his needs. The photos she provided were a wonderful touch and really showcased his personality. I will be booking with Svitlana again and highly recommend her services!

Daniela did a fantastic job with my dog today! She stopped by for a potty break visit and was reliable, attentive, and clearly great with animals. I really appreciated the updates and could tell my dog was well taken care of and happy. It’s such a relief knowing I can count on her. I’d definitely recommend Daniela to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Chantel has been amazing coming twice a day to hang out with Hershey and take him on a walk around our neighborhood! He gets so excited when she comes to our door and waits for her on the top of our couch. She has been such a help while I’ve been recovering from knee surgery and haven’t been able to walk him myself :)

Kate was so wonderful! She came for a last minute visit with our 6 month old puppy (our first time using Rover with him). She made us feel so comfortable - she was very confident and sent us updates and photos during the visit. Our puppy was very happy and tired when we got home :). We will definitly call Kate again!

We booked a drop in visit with Kerry to have our enthusiastic and energetic Dobe meet her before we leave for a couple weeks. Kerry was very attentive to Wylie and listen carefully to the instruction we wanted to convey. Wylie was at ease very quickly with Kerry and I’m confident they will get along just fine when we are away.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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!
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.

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.
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.
