“Daryna was amazing with my dog! She is punctual, friendly, and has a natural connection with animals. My pup is happy and exhausted after a walk with her. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. Highly recommend her services!”
About: I've been caring for animals since I was very young and have experience with all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and birds. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I'm committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away and treat them as if they were my own. I work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I'm happy to accommodate your pet's routine and can often provide extra visits or care if needed. have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and live close to several parks, making walks and exercise easy and enjoyable. I can also provide toys and treats (with your permission) to help keep your pet entertained and comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout their stay. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet has a fun, safe, and stress free experience.
“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!”
“Jillian is awesome and Wrigley loves his time with her. She sent pictures, gave us updates on a scratch he was nursing and she loves dogs! She will be our dog Walker every time we need one.”
“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: As a university student and lifelong animal lover, I provide dependable, compassionate care for pets of all kinds. I regularly volunteer at local animal shelters, where I work with animals of different ages, temperaments, and care needs. Growing up with special needs animals has given me extensive experience caring for pets that require extra patience, attention, and individualized support. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or has unique medical or behavioral needs, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. As a university student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Between classes, I regularly volunteer at local animal shelters and make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. Caring for animals is already a natural part of my week, and I’m committed to making sure each pet gets the attention, patience, and love they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, and any behavioral or medical considerations. I carefully follow all instructions provided by owners to ensure their pets experience as little disruption to their routine as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the home and the animals with the utmost respect. I keep the environment clean and secure, double-check that doors, gates, and leashes are properly fastened, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. With my experience volunteering at local animal shelters and caring for animals with special needs throughout my life, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior and responding calmly and responsibly. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free experience where both you and your pet can feel completely at ease.
“Jiayu is a very responsible dog walker. She is on time, friendly, responsive, and she takes great care of our dogs. Our dogs love her a lot. She charges at such a reasonable rate. I highly recommend her.”
“I’ve been meaning to give a review for months but now I have so much more evidence of just how great Roxanne is, so I’m forgiving myself for my tardiness. She is so great with Shin Yu; she’s always responsive and prompt. Shin loves people but has taken a special liking to Roxanne. She has been an unfortunate recipient of his adoration (i.e. tongue kisses right in the mouth) but apparently she took it in stride. He loves his time with her and she takes such good care to make sure he does. We couldn’t be happier and recommend her so highly. We’re so grateful to have found her.”
“Stephanie was awesome with our dog. He can be a bit timid, and has never had a Dog Walker before, so I wasn’t sure how he would react, but he loved his walks, and is “smiling” happily in all the photos! It was wonderful knowing I didn’t have to worry about him while we were out of town.”

I usually work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day.

“Nicole did such a great job with Jackson on his first walk with her! She picked him up from my work, sent me pictures while they were out, and he came back so happy. It was really nice knowing he was in good hands, and I’m looking forward to having her walk him again!”
“Super appreciate Megan talking my pup for a walk again! I was getting updates during and it was so great to see him having just as much fun with her as he does with me. It all really means a lot. Thanks again, Megan!”
About: As a person who travels and works, having my dogs and cat looked after is paramount to enjoying my time away. We have a rescued greyhound, rescued shepherd/husky mix and a rambunctious cat of our own that we love and cherish. I will deliver this same expectation of care and attention to your pet. You will have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands and enjoying themselves. I am a very patient person and quiet around those animals that may be nervous while adjusting behaviour to be energetic around those animals who prefer to be played with and energized. In five years, our shy greyhound rescue has come out of her shell and is social, loving, and continuing to adapt to her life in a forever home. Your pet will receive the same patience and care. I work from home 9 months out of the year and am on the road in the summer. We do travel from time-to-time but it is scheduled in advance. We have a fenced back yard with space to run and play. Our dogs have been hosts to other dogs from time-to-time. Both dogs are comfortable with cats.
“Christine was absolutely wonderful with my husky! From the moment we connected, it was clear that she is knowledgeable about pet care and genuinely cares about every pet she works with. She made sure my husky had a great experience and treated them with so much patience and kindness. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in her care, and I could tell my husky had a fantastic time. I would highly recommend Christine to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and truly passionate about animals.”

Nicole did such a great job with Jackson on his first walk with her! She picked him up from my work, sent me pictures while they were out, and he came back so happy. It was really nice knowing he was in good hands, and I’m looking forward to having her walk him again!
I decided to give Rover a try and found Javiera. She was very friendly, responsive, and great with Loki. She made the whole experience easy and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I had a really positive first experience with her and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.
Jolie was great with my fearful pup! She was patient, took the time to help my girl feel comfortable, and was able to help me out on short notice, which I really appreciated. I’d definitely recommend her if you’re looking for someone to take great care of your dog.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Calgary on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 1,971 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
- 95% 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.
