“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!!”

About: 🐾 Experienced Cat Sitter & Small Dog Care | Volunteer at Regal Cat Café 💖 👋 Hi! I’m Tamara, an experienced and reliable cat sitter in Calgary, specializing in in-home cat care and small dogs. I previously worked as a full-time cat sitter, ran my own in-home cat care business, and have volunteered with the Meow Foundation for over two years. I’m especially experienced with shy, anxious, energetic, and senior cats who need extra patience. I’m also currently a volunteer at Regal Cat Café, where I get to spend time with cats of all different personalities and help them feel comfortable, engaged, and enriched. 🧶 More than feeding—I make visits fun I love making visits more than just feeding and cleaning! I bring my own selection of cat-safe toys to help cats interact, play, burn off energy, stay mentally stimulated, and simply have some fun. I adjust activities to each cat’s personality — whether they love chasing toys and playing, need a little encouragement to come out of hiding, or prefer quieter interaction and companionship. 🐶 Small Dog Care Available Too! While cats are my specialty, I also happily care for small dogs and offer: 🐾 Dog walking 🎾 Playtime and companionship 🌳 Walks near the Rosedale Off-Leash Dog Area for dogs who enjoy being active 📍 I live very close to the Rosedale Off Leash Dog Area, making it easy to provide safe, fun walks and enriching outdoor time for dogs who enjoy being active.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Calgary
Shannon was excellent to deal with and very attentive with my dog Halo. She notices things quickly, and can handle a larger dog when needed which is really great. I am going to be booking her again soon for more ongoing walks. 10 stars! (If I could give them that is)
Chantel has been wonderful with Summer! She is extremely reliable, communicates clearly, and is so patient with understanding Summer's pace and comfort level. It gives us total peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands. We book with Chantel on a monthly basis and couldn't recommend her more!
Shiloh has been wonderful with our dog, Sprout! She is reliable, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. We feel completely comfortable knowing Sprout is in such good hands and getting the care, attention, and exercise she needs. We really appreciate Shiloh’s kindness and dependability and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog walker!
Arden is always so attentive and takes amazing care of my dog. She always goes above and beyond writing about the adventures they take. I really appreciate the thoughtfulness that goes into every walk. When it comes to Arden I know my dog is in the best hands possible.
I cannot recommend Madison enough! She has been an absolute lifesaver for our family. She is exceptionally reliable, always on time, and keeps us updated with great communication. Our dog has a few behavioral challenges, and Madison handles him like a true professional. Her confidence and experience shine through in everything she does. Most importantly, it’s obvious how much she genuinely loves our pooch, and he absolutely adores her. If you want complete peace of mind knowing your pup is in expert hands, hire Madison!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Calgary is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 2,020 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Calgary. About 84% 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Calgary after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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 walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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!
