“She was on time, ready for us to come over. I was impressed with her knowledge of dogs and their behaviour. I was worried leaving my puppy in a strange place, so went over the day before just to introduce him and myself. We had a nice chat and I felt better after meeting her and seeing how she related to the other dog in her care. All went well and we will arrange another visit when we need care for Roger. Marcia Forth, dog Mom.”
About: With over two decades of experience caring for animals, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, quirks, and comforts. I've cared for dogs of all sizes, from tiny toy breeds to giant Dobermans, as well as cats of all temperaments. I also have training in puppy development, leash training, and positive reinforcement techniques. I offer **in-home pet sitting, overnight boarding in my home, and doggy daycare**, giving you the flexibility to choose the arrangement that works best for you and your pet. As a self-employed professional who works remotely, I'm home throughout much of the day, which means your pet gets more than someone stopping in to fill a food bowl. They get companionship, attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. For pets who are happiest in familiar surroundings, I'm happy to stay in your home, keeping their routines consistent and looking after your space while you're away. For those who enjoy a change of scenery, I also welcome pets into my own home for overnight stays or daytime care, providing a comfortable, attentive environment where they can settle in and feel at ease. I'm mature, responsible, tidy, and respectful of both your home and your pet's individual needs. Whether that means following a senior pet's medication schedule, reinforcing good habits with an energetic puppy, or giving a slightly anxious animal the patience and reassurance they need, I take the responsibility of caring for someone's beloved companion seriously. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and receiving the kind of attention and affection you'd want for them. I'd love to meet you and your pet and see if we're a good fit! 🐾 As a self-employed professional, I have the flexibility to work from anywhere, which means your pet will have far more companionship and attention than they would with someone who works a traditional 9–5 job. While I may have the occasional outing, my schedule allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs throughout the day, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just providing comforting company. I understand that pets thrive on routine and consistency, so I’ll ensure their schedule stays as close to normal as possible. Whether they need midday potty breaks, structured leash training, or extra cuddle time, I’m there to provide attentive, loving care that keeps them happy and stress-free while you're away. I provide loving, attentive care in your pet’s own home, ensuring they remain in a familiar, stress-free environment while you're away. I believe in positive reinforcement training, rewarding good behavior with praise, treats, and encouragement. Every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to understand their routine, preferences, and personality to provide the best possible care. Whether it's maintaining a structured leash training routine, ensuring a senior pet’s comfort, or just offering plenty of belly rubs and companionship, I prioritize their well-being and happiness. I also respect and care for your home as if it were my own, keeping things tidy, secure, and peaceful so you can return to a happy pet and a well-maintained space. Your pet’s safety and trust are my top priorities, and I’m dedicated to making their time without you as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
About: I've cared for and had a relationship with dogs since I was 3 years old. I have had 4 dogs of varying breeds and sizes and have dog sat for several friends and family. I live on an acre of lakefront property 45 min from Edmonton with lots of space for dogs to run, play and swim. Give your dog a lake vaction where they'll be treated like a member of the family while you're away! I am semi-retired and home 24/7 to care and spend time with your pet. I am active and outside most of the time happy to play fetch and let your pet explore nature in a quiet rural setting. I have a treed, unfenced yard in a very quiet area with little road traffic and lots of room for your pet to run and swim in the lake if desired. Your dog will become a member of the family while staying with me. I live alone in a home where dogs are allowed on the furniture, but I can also easily accomodate a crate if your pet prefers.
“As a first time fur parent I am greatful that we found Elizabeth to watch Toffy! She took such amazing care of him and sent us pictures throughout the stay. We could tell by the photo that he was having a great time. We will definitely be rebook her again and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and caring home to leave their fur babies while they are away.”
About: I am surrounded by dogs within my family and friends. I have dog and cat sat for people that I know and now that I am a stay at home mom and home all the time, id love to be able to keep your little love occupied and busy. I am on an acreage and have 2 kids to keep your dog busy! I have experience training our own small dog which was so much fun and rewarding. Im a stay at home mom! If we leave the house its less than 2 hours at a time. We usually have a nice walk at least once a day but acreage living leads to lots of time outside. I do have a small dog, a havashire who is 7 years old. She loves to play and she loves her rest. I also have 2 young children. It is very important to me that all dogs in our care are comfortable and lots of play but also we will respect their boundaries and have worked with our kids to see signs of comfort in dogs.
“Liza, thank you so much for taking care of our sweet boy Lenny for the day. Your home is so welcoming and friendly! Kipper was a great friend for Lenny to play with and I could tell right away that they were going to be awesome playmates. Thanks for updating me through the day, with super cute pictures of him sunbathing in the backyard and cuddling your family! It was a relief and allowed me to focus on the things I had to get done. I’m so greatful to have found your daycare and will definitely bring Lenny back when I need support like you’ve given today. You are a kind, animal loving soul and I wish you goodness. See you again! Thank you again too!”
“Mariana was amazing with our new puppy Musōka!! She's still not fully vaccinated & this was her first time ever being anywhere new from our house! I was more worried she would be a monster, but it took her no time to warm up to her new surroundings and Mariana & her husband. I got so many updates and pictures along the way it made me feel so safe having her in Marianas care, they live close to alot of walking trails, and dog park that I can't wait for her to go back after all her shots!!! We will absolutely be going back to Mariana next week, Musōka came back so happy, and they were so accomadating! I'd highly recommend Mariana to anyone!”
“Extremely courteous and caring experience today. My dog was very calm coming home after a full day with Chelsea. Even tho it was raining non stop, she still fit in multiple pee breaks for my very reluctant little dog. Thank you for taking care of Mr. Lolo for me today”
“Carrie was amazing with Coco and Twyla who are both very anxious dogs! She was very accommodating and great at communicating throughout the day. You can really tell how much she genuinely loves dogs and cares about making sure they’re comfortable and happy. I felt very comfortable leaving them with her, and they seemed to have such a great time! I would absolutely use Carrie again and highly recommend her.”
About: I've been a dog sitter for 4 years, fueled by my family's passion for dogs - my grandfather and uncle are dog trainers. I believe dogs deserve unconditional love and care, just as they give it to us. You can use my promotion code: CELICP96878, https://www.rover.com/sit/celicp96878 I currently work part-time in a doggy daycare, so I'm probably busier some days than others but I always going to be super happy to play and have fun with your furry friend. Dogs, like people, have their own personalities, eh? So, I just let them be themselves. If they're into gettin' petted, I'm happy to oblige. But if they're not feelin' it, I'll just give them their space, make sure they're fed and comfy, and show them some love while their owner's away. But please let me know if you're having any issues with the walks or behavior because maybe I could help you.
“Andrea truly cares about your fur babies. She is very knowledgeable and understands your concerns. Your pets safety is their primary concern. We are definitely going to keep bringing our little man.”
“Jason was unbelievably kind, and willing to take on our girl with high anxiety who can be a bit challenging, without hesitation. He is very responsive, and I never had any doubts about trusting him with our girl. We were travelling to the area, but if we’re ever back in Edmonton, I would 100% use Jason again!”
“Super première journée pour Simba avec Emma. Elle a pris le temps d'apprendre à le connaître, et de le laisser découvrir Gus aussi. J'avais un peu d'appréhension car Simba a parfois un caractère difficile mais je suis heureuse de savoir que tout c'est bien passé. Nous allons de nouveau prendre contact avec Emma et Gus dans les prochaines semaines!”
“Our dog Ollie seemed to be super happy when we picked him up! They made sure to ask for any instructions for our dog and had plenty of space to separate Ollie from another dog they were watching. They let Ollie outside several times which he loves and they were great people to contact they answered right away and were friendly! I would definitely book with them again!”
“Thank you so much Iren! You made Milo’s first experience at daycare an enjoyable one 💙 Milo was well taken care of , and I was updated through the day; Iren really cares and it shows I would definitely book again when we are visiting Edmonton!! Thank you 💙”
About: I have trained a beautiful pup to talk using button training. She now knows 35 words and “I love you” is her favourite! I also love photography, so you can expect plenty of photos and videos of your loved one. I love taking cats, dogs, and myself for beautiful River Valley walks as well! I currently work remotely, for myself, and part time, so I will have lots of time to spend with your loved one! You can expect lots of walks and play time in our spacious, fenced backyard. I have a fenced spacious backyard, and currently no pets, so your furbaby will be my sole priority. We have lots of parks and walking trails near our home with plenty green space and trees to sniff and explore!
“Natalie and Mathieu were awesome with my 2 dogs. I couldn't have asked for better care. They were friendly, caring and professional. They were genuinely excited to spend time with my dogs. Communication was excellent and they sent pictures of the busy days they had. My dogs were happy and comfortable staying with them and I would definitely take the dogs to them in the future. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable and caring hands I highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent care of their pets.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Calmar
Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 385 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Calmar. About 93% of Calmar 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.
Help your dog become familiar with the day-care environment before their first full day. Arrange a Meet & Greet so they can visit the sitter’s home, meet the sitter and any resident pets, and explore the space while you are there. This can make the environment feel more familiar and help you and the sitter confirm that the setup is right for your dog.
Pack anything you and the sitter have agreed your dog will need, such as:
- Their usual food and approved treats, with feeding instructions
- Medication, with clear dosage instructions, if needed
- Their collar or harness and other walking equipment
- Familiar comfort items, such as a blanket or favourite toy
- Any seasonal gear they may need
On the day of the booking, keep your dog’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including their usual meal, toilet break, and some light exercise. Keep drop-off calm and brief, which may help make the transition easier.
If your dog is shy, nervous, or needs more time to adjust to unfamiliar places, ask whether a shorter introductory stay is possible before their first full day.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. Every sitter on Rover has their own routine and some may offer flexible activities suited for your dog. 94% of sitters in your city can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays.
These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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 Calmar 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 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.
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
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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 sitter.
