“Jeongah and hwr boyfriend ere amazing with Nugget. I occasionally look for daycare sitters on busy workdays since I usually bring Nugget with me. It was such a relief knowing he was in such great hands while I was at work. They sent me photos and videos throughout the day and asked thoughtful questions to make sure all of Nugget's needs were met. It gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and reliable pet sitters!”
“As pet owners, we always nervous leaving our pets with someone we met for the first time. It was our first time having Lynda as Love's babysitter and we couldn't be more happier. If I could give her a 10 star , we would! We will definitely come back to her next year during the Stampede. Lynda was so amazing and flexible with our schedule, and she took great care of our baby girl, making sure she's comfortable and that she feels like home. Her 2 adorable dogs got along with Love the whole time which I'm SO happy about! Love went on many walks and its a bonus that the dog park is near by. I love that Lynda keeps us in the loop with wonderful photos, which I knew Love was having so much fun when she's playing or just chilling. Thank you Lynda for being a wonderful dogsitter to our Love bug. You will be the first to hear from us if we need a sitter for Love when we're in Calgary next!”
“Diana was lovely! I felt very at ease leaving Maxine. I appreciated getting updates and pictures knowing that my girl was taken care of. We will absolutely be using Diana again!”
About: I’m a very fit and active 60-year-old gentleman who loves going out for long walks and would love the company of your pet to join me. My husband and I live in a condo and travel often so owning our own dog is almost impossible. We do have two grand puppies who we love spending time with and having stay with us whenever their parents are away.. I retired three years ago from my full-time job and now work casually two or three nights a week. My daytime and weekends are completely free to look after your animals. I am completely mobile and able to stay in your home to look after your pets if you need to be away on vacation. Also able to do some light housekeeping (extra fee) for you while I am in your home. Both my husband and I are complete neat freaks, and your home will be well respected and taken care of while I am there. I do genuinely love animals I would love to have some of our own if we could accommodate them in our condo. We are avid travelers, so the idea of having a dog doesn’t really work out for us. But I am drawn to dogs and I feel they love being around me as well. I’d offer a ton of love and am able to look after both sedentary and highly active pets.
“Most wonderful couple ever on rover !!! They took such great care of Chips, even though we had specific instructions they were very accommodating! Chips loved them so much that we said their name and he recognized them hehehe. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Natasha was amazing! She was very accommodating and sent updates throughout Bean's time with her and from the photos, he seemed like he had a wonderful time! We would highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to reach out to her again! Thank you, Natasha!”
“Amazing service and very accommodating. Karma is very well taken care of and always super tired when I pick her up which is a huge bonus! Also amazing photos! Definitely worth the tip!”
“Mariel & Bram took wonderful care of our puppy while we were out skiing! They were so kind and caring, and we loved all the updates and photos throughout the day. It gave us great peace of mind. And their dog Pepe is very cute! We would absolutely recommend them.”
“Such an awesome daycare experience! We received so many fun updates about our puppy. Hongxiang also made sure our puppy feels comfortable in his environment with adequate social stimulation with other dogs and humans around. Thank you for the stay!”
“I made a last minute appointment for doggy day care with Maria, just the night before. She responded very fast and was able to accommodate Miso. I dropped Miso off at 9:30am with his meals for the day, a toy, his harness, leash, and some treats from home. The instructions to her place were very easy and accessible. I gave her a brief run over of Miso’s personality, my feeding routine with him, and how to keep him entertained when I made the booking. As soon as I left, she sent me pictures of him playing with dog toys she already had. Maria has her own pup who played well with Miso, so that was a big bonus since Miso is a social dog. Maria is located in a beautiful location with incredible proximity to lucrative and large parks with diverse sights including the river, groups of people and other dogs, and natural vegetation. If you are hoping to have your dog get out more and experience different smells, sights, and sounds, Maria is the ideal person to have your pup stay with. She took Miso and her dog outside three times throughout the day, and their pictures together showed that Miso had a great time. I picked him up at the end of the day, 9:30pm. I knew he had a really fun and fulfilling day trip because he was quiet the entire car ride home. All in all, it was a pleasure boarding Miso with Maria - she was very easy to communicate with, and I felt at ease while I was busy the entire day because I knew he was well-taken care of and entertained. Miso will be returning when the time comes. 😊”
“Lisa was quick to respond, thoughtful & easygoing throughout all of our correspondence. During Pepper's stay Lisa sent us a picture which was really nice to receive especially being slightly nervous first time users of this service. We would most definitely book with Lisa again.”
“Nadine welcomed our puppy like her own on Christmas day! She's best at what she does. We appreciate her consistent photos and updates during our puppy's daycare time with her. Will definitely book her services again soon!”
“Kirsten, Nic and their wee crew took the very best care of Gilly. He was so happy with them, it felt like a coming home. They are the loveliest family - I could not have asked for more!”
“My puppy loves Stephanie. I took him to her for dog sitting 2 days in a row. He warned up to her quickly and he was so excited to see her the second day. She took lots of adorable photos, they spent time outside, and he loved the stairs in her home. She noticed Rio had left a toy and dropped it off the next day. Very happy with Stephanie, your pup will love her!”
“Rey was responsive, accommodating, and kind - he helped us out when needed last minute care for our Shiba puppy Zeo, as Zeo had a runny nose & therefore could not attend his regular day care at Clever Canines. Rey sent regular picture and video updates throughout the day, and was very attentive to the details around Zeo's specific care. We recommend Rey, and plan to connect with him again the next time we need our little Zeo cared for.”
“It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter. Veronica made me feel comfortable with leaving my dog with her. She sent me updates both pics and vids many times. They went for walkies many times. Very good communication as well. Her dog is a very chill and sweet dog too! Thank you for taking good care of my baby!”

We were so lucky to find such a wonderful day home for our Loafers while our regular sitters are away. Loafers is a rescue dog and can be a little quirky and vocal with strangers, so finding the right sitter is especially important to us. We felt completely comfortable leaving Loafers in Daria and Alex's care. They took him for walks, played with him kept him safe. We give 5 out of 5 for thier friendliness, kindness and trustworthiness. We would recommend them to anyone looking for caring and reliable pet sitters
Jeongah and hwr boyfriend ere amazing with Nugget. I occasionally look for daycare sitters on busy workdays since I usually bring Nugget with me. It was such a relief knowing he was in such great hands while I was at work. They sent me photos and videos throughout the day and asked thoughtful questions to make sure all of Nugget's needs were met. It gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and reliable pet sitters!
Zhanna was amazing! Our 2 mini dachshunds loved her from the second they saw her. They ran to her and ran inside and didn’t even look back to say goodbye. She provided me with updates, was very accommodating with a last minute drop off and we will definitely use her services again!
Pamela took such good care of Atticus for doggy day care!! She is very flexible with my obscure and long shift work hours, gave him lots of play time and sent me updates throughout the day. She is across from a lovely dog park which is amazing. Will definitely be bringing my pup back to hang out with her lots :)
Lynda was wonderful! She took great care of my dog during daycare at her home. We did a meet & greet beforehand, which made me feel comfortable, and she was so friendly and welcoming. Her dog is very sweet and got along great with my dog. Throughout the day, Lynda kept me updated with pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was happy and having fun. I highly recommend Lynda for dog daycare and will definitely book with her again!
Inna was an absolute lifesaver! We booked her only 1.5 hours before our trip after making a last-minute decision to visit the Calgary Zoo, where pets aren’t allowed. I was actually prepared to stay behind with my dog, but my family encouraged me to try finding a sitter—and I’m so glad we found her! She took amazing care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. The best surprise was that her dog and mine became instant besties and had such a great time together. To top it all off, I was about 30 minutes late for pickup, and she was incredibly understanding and never made me feel guilty about it. Her kindness, flexibility, and love for dogs really stood out. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
I booked Lindsay for a dog sitter service and she was so attentive to Frankie; she also took my "high maintenance" requests with grace. Frankie came home tired and went right to sleep when he arrived home, which told me he was properly walked, exercised and played with. I would recommend Lindsay to anyone who has a fur-baby; upon meeting her I could tell she had a caring demeanor about her. I would definitely book with Lindsay again! Five stars for Lindsay!
Mateo had a great day with Courtney! He came home happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired after daycare. It was clear he was well cared for and had lots of fun. I would definitely book with Courtney again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter 🐕
Dominika was wonderful with Nugget! He was happy to approach her right away and didn't seem anxious at all, which gave me a lot of confidence leaving him in her care. Throughout the day, she sent photo updates and a video, which really helped put my mind at ease while I was working. Thank you so much for taking Nugget on such short notice. When I picked him up, he had a positive interaction with another dog, and since coming home I've noticed that he seems more confident. It's clear he had a great experience. Overall, I would definitely book with Dominika again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
Victoria was wonderful with my little Winston. It was his first time in daycare & he was in the best care with Victoria. Winston played puzzle games with lots of cuddles and fun outdoor time. As well, Winston enjoyed meeting his new pint sized buddy Rambo. Victoria sent regular updates with the cutest, happy Winston pictures. Thanks for your kind, loving care with Winston. 100% recommend Victoria for top notch pup care! 🐾💖
This is our first time putting our dog into daycare, of course we’re worried. But Rey made it easy for us and the dogs. He’s really good with them and made them feel that they part of their pack. Thank you Rey and definitely will be recommending him to friends and family if we’re back in Calgary.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Calgary
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Calgary on Rover is $36.63 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 795 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Calgary. About 89% 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.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Calgary commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AB ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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 sitter.
