“Arden was absolutely wonderful. She is very prompt with communications and walking appointments. Super friendly and I will definitely be booking her again to walk my dog!”
“Ariana was wonderfully communicative! She did a drop off and pick up for my sweet girl to get to the groomers. I was so appreciative of her and would you use her again in a heartbeat if I were living in Calgary permanently!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a wonderful 3-year-old Golden Retriever who keeps me active and reminds me every day how important love, exercise, and consistency are for our furry friends. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I understand the care, patience, and attention they need to feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I live a very active lifestyle and enjoy spending time outdoors, so whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply companionship, they'll receive plenty of exercise and engagement. I pride myself on being caring, compassionate, and dependable. Your dog's well-being is my top priority, and I'll treat them like one of my own while they're in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am off work for the summer, which allows me to dedicate my time fully to caring for your pets. My flexible schedule means I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. Because I am home most of the time, your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and care rather than being left alone for long periods. Whether your pup enjoys outdoor adventures, regular walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I can accommodate their needs and routine. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and most holidays, making it easy to provide reliable and consistent care whenever you need it. I live in a clean, comfortable condo that provides a safe and relaxing environment for dogs. While I don't have a yard, I lead a very active lifestyle and make sure dogs get plenty of exercise and outdoor time each day. I take multiple walks daily, including visits to local parks where dogs can enjoy new sights, smells, and opportunities to explore. Your dog will receive lots of attention, companionship, and physical activity throughout the day, ensuring they stay happy, engaged, and well cared for during their stay.
“Olivia was able to walk Lupo everyday I was working at Stampede and adjust to my schedule last minute. She was very good with Lupo and I would 100% love to have her walk Lupo again”
“Sandra is great - and our dog Nelson agrees! We really appreciated Sandra taking the time to meet with us to get to know Nelson’s needs (and ours too!). She has been very attentive to Nelson we feel totally comfortable entrusting our little guy to her care.”
About: Hi! My name is Kyra, and I am a DVM student going into my second year at UCVM, and I am a certified Veterinary Technician Assistant. I am confident with classical and operant conditioning for training animals, animal husbandry and safe restraint methods. I look forward to providing attentive and specialized care for your pets. My pets include a tuxedo cat and a corn snake. I am currently off from university and looking to keep my animal-handling skills up to date. I am available every day from 9 am - 7 pm for whatever your needs may be! I love to play with both dogs and cats, if they are up to it! If your pet has lower activity levels, I am glad to keep them company and give them lots of cuddles. I am currently harness-training my own cat to help him feel more comfortable being outside and work up to exploring together. So far, he has explored my front yard and some of my neighbours' as well. If you are working on training your pet, I would be stoked to help out. I am also comfortable working with any pets who are fearful, and I am confident I can provide a positive experience for them.
“I have booked Caroline for multiple dog walks. My dog was very happy to meet her and liked her instantly! She sends lots of update picks and seems very trustworthy. I will book again!”
“Svitlana is really great with our dog. She is very generous and goes above and beyond. She keeps you very informed and has lots of photos and videos. You can really tell she cares :)”
“Paige is the sweetest and most consistent dog walker I've had. She always shows up rain or shine and is so gentle and patient with my 15 year old dog. I never worry about Tesla getting her medicine properly. Highly recommend this dog walker!”
“Katie is an absolutely wonderful dog walker. She comes weekly to walk Beau, and we are grateful to have her. Beau can be leash reactive, and Katie took the time to learn our training methods and implement them. You can also tell that she cares about Beau's comfort. She arrives promptly for each walk, communicates important details after the walk, and is a pleasure to work with. Thank you Katie for all that you do!”
“Madison and Corey are reliable and communicate very well and quickly to any questions/change in plans. My two boys are always happy to go with them so I highly recommend!”
“Josie really helped our family with letting Lemi out for walks for the week. She communicates very well and does what she says she is going to do. It’s such peace of mind while at work to receive Josie’s Rover cards to show that Lemi is in good hands and having a bit of fun throughout the day. Than you Josie!! We really appreciated your help!!”
“Rachel was perfect! She is a wonderful human being and was wonderful working with my dog. She has great communication, and work ethic. She has taken my dog out for six walks so far, and I plan to request her again for the rest at of the time that I need a dog walker. Highly recommend!”
“Madison is the best thing that’s happened to Rover Calgary! She’s punctual, has great communication, and provides wonderful exercise to our dog Hazelnut. Hazel loves Madison and is always stoked to see her at the door.”
“Kenedi has been awesome. Ollie seems so happy when she comes over! She makes sure Ollie is wearing her boots and is staying warm. We look forward to the continued walks.”
“My first experience using Rover dog walking service was a great one thanks to Samantha. I love the meet and greet the day before the service. Samantha did a wonderful job keeping me posted on her arrival and departure and shared nice photos about their walks. I would definitely use Samantha’s service again.”
“Sheryl walked our dog when we were away on holidays. She was super responsive and kind, and Winston had a great time! We would definitely recommend Sheryl and hire her again :)”

Josie was wonderful with my dog Benji. I am new to the city and new to leaving my dog at home. She eased every anxiety I had by communicating with me and sending lots of photos so I knew he had a great time. Would recommend her to anyone and especially people who are new and need a bit of comfort that their baby is in good hands.
Arden came through on very short notice and was so amazing with our golden retriever Lexi, who’s not always the easiest to walk. Her reports were so detailed and sweet, and it really made me feel so good knowing Lexi was in such good hands. Not to mention Lexi absolutely loved her and has made a new best friend. Thank you so much Arden!!
Sandra was amazing with Sofi, took her for good long walks (and took lots of photos!) so she was totally pooped after and ready for a good nap! She was able to kindly fit us into her schedule even with my short notice, and I really appreciate it! I’ll be booking again with her for sure🥰
Caitlin was so caring and a wonderful “new” human companion to my 2 chihuahuas over our multiple days stay in Calgary. She ensured they got lots of attention, time outside walking , and cuddles too (all of which they love!). I always had great and timely feedback from Caitlin about how the walk went and she so easily ensured any updates or requests on my end were met. I won’t hesitate to book with Caitlin again when I’m back in the area. Thank you!!!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Calgary
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Calgary on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 2,024 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Calgary. About 85% of Calgary sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Calgary. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Calgary.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Calgary with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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 .
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.
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 walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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!
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
