It’s the perfect opportunity for your pup to get comfortable with me and their new environment before their extended stay. About your Sitter: Thanks for checking me out on Rover! My name is Paige, and I’m certified in Pet First-Aid and also a Fear Free Certified Professional. I am new to rover but not new to pet care. When choosing my services, you can be confident you’re choosing someone who has a strong love for animals and who takes your pet care seriously as well as keeping your pets safe. I am passionate in pursuing a professional career in boarding and training; I am currently making my way through the necessary trainings and certifications to get there. Your pet will always be in good hands with me and very loved! Animals have been a love in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets, I knew I wanted one of my own one day. At a young age, I began caring for pets of family, family friends, neighbours and coworkers. I eventually got a pup of my own and enjoyed training her as a puppy into adulthood! I’d love the opportunity to also care for your fur-family! Your pets well-being, safety and health are a priority in my home and when out for walks in the neighbourhood. I am excited to give each dog the love and care they need to have the best day, always caring for them as I would my own pup. Initial meet and greets are always complimentary to ensure full comfort. I enjoy going out for walks with my dog, Lexie, on a daily basis. Walks range between 20-45 minutes at a time, 1-3x a day. It would be a pleasure to include another friend with her as well! I work from home majority of the time which allows me to be home and available for pet care as needed. I offer daycare on the days I plan to be home, and I offer boarding for 1-2 dogs at a time and adjust my work schedule as needed for their care. I follow all instructions for pet care with diet restrictions, feeding times, exercise needs, playtime needs as well as needed affection. My girl has severe allergies, and we are a friendly home that caters to these sensitivities. I have dividers in my home to separate them at meal times if needed for allergy purposes as well or when I need to step out of the home for short periods of time. I am new to Rover as a sitter, but not new to pet care and offering safe pet care to family, friends, and recommendations through them. I’m currently pursuing the educational requirements to become a professional dog trainer and my passion is to build a successful business helping families to care and train their pets. I currently offer 1-2 spots for boarding and daycare and I have a dream to upgrade one day, to run a pet resort here in Calgary! I offer gentle and reward-based training and care within my home and also have a friendly dog. She is well trained, submissive, and extremely gentle with all dogs, including tiny breeds. She gets along with all animals and loves company! My home is very safe for providing care and puppy-proofed as needed! I am dedicated to providing a safe environment for boarding and daycare.
“Isabel went above and beyond picking up our dog from home for us so we could get on the road sooner, much appreciated!! Loki actually pouts and whines when we gets home with us because he had so much fun and misses them 👍 definitely recommend”

“Pierre and Sheila were very friendly and kind. They made sure to have all the information they needed to care for our cat and make sure he was comfortable. Zamzam is very shy and anxious, but they made him feel so welcome so quickly. They kept me updated daily and sent me pictures and videos, which was so appreciated! Definitely helped make me feel relaxed and my mind at ease. I can tell he was well taken care of and made to feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend Pierre and Sheila and will definitely be reaching out again and rebooking! Thank you so much for taking care of Zamzam!”

“Nova stayed with Tawnya and Jeremy for an extended weekend while I was away. She took great care of Nova, asking me at times about her behavior if something seemed off and was very communicative during our pickup and drop off times. Nova seemed to have enjoyed her weekend with their family and I'd book again with them in the future.”

“I can't speak highly enough about our experience with Lisa. She is kind, gentle and compassionate. Our dog was happy and well cared for with Lisa. Lisa also shared some dog training tips with me, which I greatly appreciate! Thank you, thank you!”

“This was our first experience with Domenica. I am over the moon thrilled with the visit and stay that Rocco had with her and Steve she gave us great confidence from the very first meeting that Rocco will be well cared for and looked after just like her own while we were away, she sent us a quick text just to let us know how things were going. She was super accommodating in regards to when we could pick up and drop off and I am so thankful that I found Domenica because I have a few more vacations planned and now I know that I am leaving Rocco with someone who really looks after him well and cares for him and that was my family’s biggest stress on finding a new sitter for our dog . Rocco was very lucky. He got to spend a lot of time out on the deck and got to go for walks and spend quality time with them. ?”

“Karlee was amazing with our fur baby! She made him feel right at home by playing with him and taking him on his daily walks. She kept us informed with daily pictures which kept us at ease.”

“Petrina was wonderful boarding our dog while we were away. She was unphased by all his quirky behaviours, and her resident dog is a nice calm guy. Our dog came back home looking happy and relaxed. We would totally use her again if needed.”

“Evan and his family were lovely. They took the time to get to know Leilani. She was excited when she ran in the house for a meet and greet and although wary at first, seemed to settle in. I liked getting messages about how she was doing, along with pictures. Will book again.”

“After a meet and greet walk I felt comfortable that Jeffrey & Janine would take good care of Ozzy while we went away on a small trip. They asked a lot of detailed questions regarding his care prior to us leaving him. During our trip we got amazing detailed updates on Ozzy and wonderful pictures as well. They played his favorite game of fetch with him and took him on daily walks. They sent a video of him playing with their dog too. Ozzy looked like he was loved and well taken care of. We would not hesitate to use their services again for future bookings and you shouldn't either! You will not be disappointed. Thanks again Jeffrey & Janine for looking after our fur ball!”

“Jackie and Tom are so warm and welcoming and make you and your dog feel like family! They send updates and pictures to reassure you and have two sweet little dogs for playmates as well as a very large yard to have lots of outside time. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them watch our dog again and would highly recommend them to others!”

“I was super comfortable leaving my dog with Jo for the weekend. She has a great set up with a fully enclosed backyard, which meant lots of space for play and bathroom breaks. She took great care of Meeka, letting her snuggle in on the bed, getting all the love she wanted. She treated her like her own, which I’m very grateful for! Will absolutely use her again when Meeka needs a sitter.”


“Tanya was amazing with our girl, took her for walks and gave her lots of love while we were away. We also got updates every day and felt totally comfortable leaving our dog there. Definitely recommend. Thanks again, Tanya!”

“Great love and care for our dogs Rosco and Skye. I felt 100% confident with leaving my dogs with her. Kourtney was more than willing to accommodate all our dogs needs during our time away. She was quick to respond to messages and it was so nice to get updates. I’ll be using Kourtney again - she was awesome.”

“This was our first time using Rover. Mariana was exceptional, and put any issues to rest really before they came up. We got daily videos and updates of our very happy dog. I would highly recommend Mariana!”

“Anthony and Melody were so kind and caring when we met them for our meet and greet. They asked questions and wanted to make sure they could do everything possible to make Gracie’s stay as routine as could be. You could tell they love dogs. Their dog Hatchi was gentle and playful with Gracie. The gate at the front door so the dogs can’t run out made us feel extra comfortable as well as a back door to the fenced yard. We boarded Gracie for 5 days after the meet and greet and were pleasantly impressed how well our Gracie did with them. She came home happy and we could see right away that she really liked their dog Hatchi. Wow….This in itself shows that time and commitment on Anthony and Melody part was given because our Yorkie isn’t the most social dog. We received many photos and videos throughout Gracie’s stay. We will choose this sitter as our #1 choice for future stays.”

“Tara took exceptional care of our mini Bernedoodle, Nelly, for two weeks while we were away on vacation. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing she was in such a caring and experienced home. Tara sent thoughtful updates every day with photos and videos, so we always knew how Nelly was doing. It was clear she wasn’t just being watched—she became part of the family. Nelly enjoyed long walks, lots of supervised playtime with Tara’s two friendly Labs, and plenty of affection. We especially appreciated the little observations about her personality and habits, which showed Tara was really paying attention. Communication was excellent from start to finish. Tara was responsive, kind, and genuinely cared about making sure both Nelly and we were comfortable throughout the stay. When Nelly didn’t finish a meal, Tara reached out right away, and it was reassuring to know she was paying such close attention. We came home to a happy, healthy, relaxed dog, and that’s the best review any pet sitter can receive. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Tara again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like one of her own. Thank you, Tara!”

“Thank you, JC, for being so professional and taking such good care of our Zion! Even at the last minute, you welcomed us with open arms — we truly appreciate!!! We’ll definitely see you again❤️❤️”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Carstairs home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Carstairs
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
