“Kaela was amazing! I recently moved to Calgary and was anxious about leaving our puppy, but he took right to her. I felt 100% comfortable leaving him and the house in Kaela's care for the weekend, and would highly recommend her!”
“Kimberly was incredibly reliable, communicative and responsible with both our pup and our home. We came home to an immaculate home and a well taken care of, well walked pup. Thank you!! Can’t wait to hire her again.”
“Julie is lovely! I have three cats. One needs an insulin injection 2x a day and one gets gabapentin orally 2x a day. While Julie has never given injections, she came over, learned how and was a brave champ! Thanks so much Julie for looking after my critters!”
“Sophia is the only person we trust to stay in our house and take care of our dog while we are away. She always takes good care of our house and more importantly, I know our dog is properly loved, cared for and walked!”
“Sydney recently looked after Charly and our home for an extended period. It is so important to know that both are being well looked after, and Sydney did not disappoint. She was great with the ongoing communications, advised us immediately of any concerns, and most importantly, we could tell Charly was happy and healthy.”
“Bruce and frisky were in good hands with Myranda! We had just moved from Ontario to Calgary and we were so happy to find her. I would definitely request her services in the future if she’ll have us! We got pictures and updates daily. Bruce has some issues at meal time and Myranda was patient and understanding with him. She respected and cared enough to ask if it would be ok to take Bruce around other dogs. Bruce is a big dog and he was very thankful for being walked about three times a day! Frisky is an indoor cat and looked like she got lots of love and brushing too! Maybe I shouldn’t be so honest because she might get too busy and won’t be available when I need her!”
“They are a fantastic couple and my dog was so happy and connected so easily with them. Highly recommend them and very much attentive to detail well worth every dollar.”
“Would absolutely recommend Natasha - we have two cats and a dog and she was amazing. We new things were going well when our one cat who usually is introverted was downstairs sitting with her. One of our cats also is diabetic so we were thankful to leave him with Natasha who could administer his insulin on a regular basis. And as well all love our furry family - we can see when someone is recieved well and when we get home we see if their mood is a little off or if everything is ok - all furry members were happy and content. We will definitely book again when going on a holiday. Thank you so much Natasha!”
“Johanne was so attentive to our three dogs. Two of our dogs are seniors that require some extra care and medications and I feel completely confident saying we would trust Johanne with our dogs again. One of our dogs was a little unwell while we were away and she handled it so well, even picked up medications from our vet for our little one! We received lots of updates and photos. Highly recommend Johanne! Also a very talented photographer so you will have some adorable photos afterwards.”
“Olivia took very good care of our dogs. She sent us daily photo updates which we really appreciated. We came home to a clean and tidy space. We have already rebooked Olivia for another stay!”
“Aubrey is an absolute gem! She took wonderful care of our animals, Lou and Tuna, during a 12-day trip, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. Lou is wary of new people, but Aubrey approached her with patience, understanding, and genuine care. She even took the time to build a relationship with Lou before our trip, which made a meaningful difference in everyone’s comfort. Aubrey is highly reliable and responsive, and her daily updates were both thorough and genuinely fun to read. It was clear she paid close attention to Lou and Tuna’s individual needs and personalities. She also cared for our home with the same level of thoughtfulness. We would highly recommend Aubrey to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver. We will absolutely be booking her again.”
“haydn was absolutely AMAZING while we were away. constant communication, photos and care for my fur baby followed to a tee. i felt very comfortable leaving waldo with haydn and our house was taken care of perfectly. we will absolutely be rebooking with haydn for future trips out of town.”
“Thanks Tamara for the awesome service! Our fur-child, Clifford, can be a complete handful (or two), but Tamara came in and made Clifford’s week as comfortable as possible, which in turn allowed us to leave our worries behind and not have any stresses while we were away. It seemed like Clifford had just as much of a vacation as we did, so thanks a bunch, Tamara! You’ll have a repeat customer for sure :)”
“Aniqa took wonderful care of my fur babies while I was away. She communicated and sent picture updates regularly. I was very comforted knowing that Aniqa took great care of my pets.”
“Sloan took excellent care of our babies while we were away. She sent us updates whenever needed and seemed to build a great bond with both Charlie and Cléo, which pleasantly surprised us since Cléo is usually a little more reserved 😅. We are very grateful for all the care and attention she gave them.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Calgary
We are so grateful to have found Madison. After our dog came down with kennel cough, we had to find someone to watch him on extremely short notice and had never used Rover before. Naturally this came with lots of stress and anxiety. She was communicative, patient, and flexible and we are already planning for the next time we can have Madison stay and watch Harvey. Our only fear with leaving Madison another amazing review is that she will be too busy the next time we need her!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic experience. She was incredibly communicative throughout our time away, regularly sending updates and pictures of Chance, which I really appreciate when travelling. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands! She also left our house in perfect order, which was much appreciated. I was especially grateful that she was available on short notice and so accommodating. I would absolutely recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after Chance again!
Kennedy was wonderful, she was a clean house guest and she kept me posted on how my dog was doing and when she was getting walks, etc. She was easy to contact from the beginning to the end. I knew my dog was fine because she wasn't anxious when I got home, she was happy and stress-free! :)
I have booked Miranda several times. She is always great, conscientious, and communicative. And I come back to my home the way I left it. This particular dog sitting, she went above and beyond and noticed some medical issues with one of my dogs and made sure it was taken care of. Will definitely rebook. Happy to strongly recommend.
Natasha was amazing when she stayed at our house for 10 days with all of our animals! She sent lots of photos and videos, and managed one dog’s upset tummy due to the stress of us being away. I always worry when I have to be away from home, but everyone loved Natasha and I definitely felt comfortable leaving them in her care.
We could not be more thankful for Shiloh. This was the first time we left our pups - let alone overnight - with anyone other than family. From the time our little guys met her, I could tell they were in great hands. She made us feel comfortable and confident in being away from them, kept us updated and went above and beyond. Shiloh's calming presence and genuine love for animals is very evident - we are lucky we have found someone to continue to care for our special guys.
Michele was so great watching all of my fur babies 🩷 my crew can be quite a handful at first, but she was more than willing to adapt her schedule to suit all their needs. Daily updates and pictures were provided and it was very apparent that Michele was in tune with how each one of my animals were feeling while I was away.
Sadaf has stayed with Teddy twice and I appreciate that she spends a lot of time with her as she isn’t used to being alone much. She sends updates with photos and videos and gives Teddy medication multiple times a day. My apartment looks great when I get home. Highly recommend!
Alicia did a wonderful job of dog/house sitting for 5 days. She clearly loves dogs, and took great care of our dog. Alicia is very caring and responsible, and respectful of the home. It was our first time using a dog sitter and we felt comfortable having her in our home and hope to book her again for our next trip.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Calgary maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Calgary walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
