“I have never felt more comfortable and relaxed leaving my pup as I had with Lisa! She is so caring and attentive and made Maximus feel so loved and welcome! She even stayed next to Maximus on his first night as she sensed some separation anxiety and just to make him feel safe and secure !That was so very much appreciated and so very very thoughtful! I loved the daily updates and pictures! It was comforting to know he was ok and very well looked after! ❤️It was great that he has some wonderful socialisation with her three pups and two cats!!❤️ I will always ask Lisa as to her availability for any future pet sitting needs! I highly recommend Lisa to anyone who is looking for pet boarding 🌹”
“Pamela was amazing with Monroe. Having a bigger breed can sometimes be intimidating but Pamela’s soft and gentle approach was the right fit for Monroe. Pamela made sure Monroe got her walks in and updates were sent. I would definitely recommend Pamela to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Will definitely be booking again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I also began dog sitting in high school. I have taken care of many peoples animals in the past, and I truly love it. I want to be friends with all the dogs I have a senior pup of my own, so I build my schedule to allow me to stop at home and check on her throughout the day! I am a post secondary student living close by SAIT, so I have the flexibility to come home during the day. For caring for pets at my home, I live in a townhouse without a fenced in yard. All potty breaks will be on leash in front yard, or walks, depending on what client prefers. Please contact me to discuss what kind of care you are requiring!
“Always a pleasure to have Troy and Lindsay watch over Taco when I'm away. She's always in the best hands and is very well taken care of. I will always continue to use them as support whenever I am away as a first choice!”
“Due to an accident Gracie only stayed 1 day instead of the 4 planned days. I will not be leaving a tip as I paid them for 4 days. I can't really give feedback for such a short stay.”
“I am very thankful for Don and her wife for taking care of my Casper. She updates me from time to time and helps me with Casper's medication. She really made an effort that Casper will still feel home away from home. She endured that Casper will feel loved while we are away. I will definitely come back for her as Casper likes her and her other furry friends even if we just left him for a long weekend. She and Don really care for our fur baby. I really appreciate all of it. 😊😊😊”
“Rebecca was such a sweetheart and took the best care of our pup while we were away! We used her in-house boarding service and would jump at the opportunity to use her care again. She provided pictures and updates, and gathered all the necessary information prior to our dogs stay to make sure the transition was smooth and easy. 10/10 will be recommending her to our friends and family!”
“First time using the app, and what a great experience it was for my boy Kobe! Seems he was exhausted from the activities he got up to while I. Shannon’s care! Shannon is super accommodating, and you can tell she has a distinct love for animals!”
“Emily and her family took amazing care of Cola for 3 weeks! She kept us updated while we’re away and sent photos so we don’t miss our fur baby too much. He seemed really at ease with them and had tons of fun.”
“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Anna during our time in Calgary. She responded right away to our request and stayed wonderfully communicative throughout, which immediately put us at ease. Because of her, we were able to enjoy dinner out and explore parts of the city that simply wouldn’t have been possible with Scout — and we never once worried about how she was doing. What truly stood out was how deeply and genuinely she cared for Scout. It didn’t feel like hiring a sitter; it felt like leaving her with someone who treats animals with the same love, intuition, and attentiveness she gives her own little “zoo.” The updates from the dog park were full of joy and personality, and it was clear Scout was not just safe, but genuinely happy — especially with her new buddy, Oreo. On top of her amazing care, Anna went above and beyond by sharing so many thoughtful local recommendations that made our stay even better. Her insights helped us discover places and experiences we wouldn’t have found on our own, and we appreciated that generosity more than she knows. Anna is calm, observant, experienced, and truly exceptional. We’re so grateful for her kindness and care, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have always had a genuine love for animals! 🐾 I have hands-on dog training experience, most recently with a Norwegian Elkhound, and bring patience, attentiveness, and lots of affection to every pet I care for. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and will always treat your pets like family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I typically work Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, but I have the flexibility to work remotely, which makes it easy to accommodate your pet’s needs throughout the day! I live and work downtown, so even on office days, I have flexibility to check in and provide care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love! I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I always respect each pet’s unique personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions from owners to ensure their fur babies receive the best possible care!
“Tayler & Max were a great sitter for our dog Winston. They made the drop off experience a calm and relaxed environment for him, and kept us updated everyday, sharing lots of photos and videos. Would definitely use them again in the future.”
“Erika and her family was very accommodating with fast responses when we inquired for her to take care of our fur baby. They were promptly on time for pick up and drop off scheduled and kept up up to date with photos throughout our puppy’s stay. We would not hesitate to use Erika for dog sitting again and would highly recommend our friends or family.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Karen! I was away for two days, and from start to finish, she was absolutely fantastic. Her communication was excellent—she kept me updated regularly and sent photos that really put my mind at ease. It was so clear from the pictures and updates that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time I was away. That peace of mind is priceless. Karen is reliable, attentive, and truly cares about the animals she looks after. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. I would definitely be book with her again!”
About: I cared for my own dog for 16 years, from his younger years through to senior care, giving me extensive experience with daily walks, feeding, routines and the changing needs of older dogs. I’m available every evening for dog walking and drop-in visits, as well as throughout weekends for walks, visits and overnight house sitting. I work full-time Monday to Friday but can also provide weekday overnight care for pets comfortable being left during normal working hours. I care for pets in their own familiar environment and always follow their established feeding, walking and daily routines. I carefully secure doors, gates and leads, respect every client’s home and provide regular photo updates for peace of mind.

Jack was incredibly accommodating and friendly. He was really easy to communicate with and always quick to respond. We received several update pictures and messages and felt totally at ease that he was taking great care of our fur baby. We will certainly be repeat customers and would highly recommend booking Jack to care for your pet!
Rebecca was absolutely incredible with our doodle! Her communication was wonderful, and it was clear that she cared for him as if he were her own. From all the love and cuddles to the thoughtful care she provided, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’re so grateful to have found her, and we know he’ll be spending lots more time with her in the future!
Atussa was so amazing with my double amputee dog. She was so attentive and great to plan and organize with, so accommodating. She sent me a few pictures per day of my dog, and took him on many outings to the off leash dog park. I can't express enough how good and comforting it felt to leave my dog with someone so great. Took so much stress off of me. Highly highly recommend Atussa!
Our dog Bonnie had a great 12-night boarding stay with Taylor! Taylor provided regular walks (managing encounters with rabbits and dogs — Bonnie is reactive to dogs) and toys to play with at home. She provided updates and photos on Bonnie’s stay every day. Bonnie was rested and relaxed when we picked her up! We hope to book Taylor again when we next need boarding.
Our dog Molly had a great time with Bethnie and Bikram. She was out for lots of walks to different parks, playing with other dogs and getting lots of exercise and attention. Bethnie sends lots of pictures and videos keeping you abreast of your dog’s activities. I would definitely use them again
Nadine was fantastic with our 6-month old Bernese puppy. What I most appreciated about this experience was Nadine’s communication, responsiveness, and how pro-active she was in organizing a meet and greet with us. This was my first time leaving our puppy with someone, and it could not have gone any better.
We left our dog with Stephanie over thanksgiving and was great! We met up beforehand to get Oakley accustomed and went over everything needed for the boarding. Stephanie regularly sent updates and took Oakley for walks. Oakley was very happy afterwards. We highly recommend!
Serrina was wonderful! My pup seemed to have a great time - I was updated with lots of photos throughout his stay and he was happy and calm when I picked him up at the end. Serrina accommodated his food and supplement needs without issue, she was competent and experienced. This was his first stay with her, and I had peace of mind that he was in good hands after the first brief meeting!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Calgary is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $61 per night. On Rover, sitters 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.
sitters in Calgary have an average of 15 years of experience. Each sitter has their own unique experience and skill sets for different types of pets. You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile. Look at other pet parent reviews and repeat pet parent booking rates for an idea of their pet care exp erience.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.
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 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.
