“I brought Bowie over a few days before for piece of mind since I’ve never left her with anyone but family before. Tabitha and her husband were so great! They love dogs and I knew instantly Bowie was going to have a great time and feel right at home. They sent me photos throughout her time. I will definitely use their services again and recommend to family and friends!”
About: Hello dog lovers! Growing up with dogs my whole life gave me tons of experience in regards of caring for dogs as well as playing with them. I also am the proud mom of a German Shorthaired Pointer who needs lots of play time and would love to become friend with your dog if this is the kind of service you would be looking for! I am a flight attendant with a very flexible schedule so I can accomodate to come in your house when you need me to as well. What ever special care your pet needs, I am confident I can give them the attention they need, in the environment of your preferences. I am excited to meet you and your furry friend! I go on a walk of minimum an hour everyday with my dog Matcha so getting some exercise done is no problem! Depending on the energy levels and the weather, I typically go in the mornings but sometimes go for a second outing in the afternoon/evening. I have a fenced yard with easy access from a doggy door that can also be closed as well as two crates indoors if needed. I have a designated place for potty in the backyard and feel very confident to keep any dog safe even out on a walk!
About: I worked as an assistant in emergency veterinary care for 6 years. I’ve been dogsitting and walking for 15+ years. Caring for pups with medical needs or medications is no problem for me! We only take crate trained pups:) feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m a stay at home mom as well as a photographer. My schedule varies however I am home all day and night most weeks of the year. I would love to have some extra pups to keep us company on the days I don’t work! I have a very large (and fun) fenced yard where your pup can play all they want on their own or with our friendly labrador mix - Benelli. They will Be welcome in our home as if it were their own. We only take crate trained pups for management of everyone’s space and for safety!
“My dog was a very happy dog while staying with Anastasia and her mother! Anastasia was able to fulfill a last minute booking for me and I am beyond grateful! She was extremely quick to respond and a great communicator! Thank-you Anastasia and mom!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little guy. Sent lots of photos and kept me updated with prompt replies throughout the day. Dakota came back ready for a long long nap”
“We have several friends and relatives that can take care of Brisket when needed, but we wanted to have backup sitters in case of emergency. This visit was only a chance for Brisky to get familiar with Kevin and Erin and their pups. Good people, they are clearly dog people and we are looking forward to utilizing them through Rover in the future.”
“Alicia was great! She sent me updates throughout the day, assuring me that my doggo was in great hands. She was also flexible with the pick up time, so my family and I could spend more time exploring Calgary. We will definitely book with her again the next time we’re in town 😊”
“Amazing care takers with lovely dogs and went above and beyond with my dog’s daycare while providing updates regularly. Very nice and passionate people that treat your dog as their own!”
“Karlee was responsive and very engaging. She was willing to do a meet and great to give me peace of mind. During stay for my little doggo she sent me pics and kept me updated. Karlee was great with my sweet boy and he came home happy and tired. I will be booking with Karlee again for sure!!”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life. My first pup was a recuse from a puppy mill and we loved her for 16 years. When i was a young adult, i recused a stray tabby who sadly just past away at the ripe age of 21. We then just rescued another cat named Budweiser (not our choice but love it 😂) Now, my family and i have just finished loving our mini golden doodle in her 13th year and our hearts are missing that puppy presence. We are also a rescue foster dog family and love taking in the ones who need love the most. I have also volunteered in Nunavut at the animal rescue shelter and loved every minute of it. I am a stay at home mom who works a few hours a day at my kids school. We are a sports filled family, so after school activities are always happening but we can discuss hours that work for all of us. I have a fenced in yard and a furry friend to keep you pup company. I have a baby gate at the front door to allow the pups to sniff and meet our cat before enjoying our day together.
About: We’ve both grown up with pets in the home since we were kids and have extensive experience with dogs. We have our own dog Toby who’s a 9 year old rescue and great with anyone. Our house is spacious and there’s plenty of room for a crate or bed if needed when your pet comes to stay. We live steps to away from an off leash dog park as well as regular trips out to the mountains for walks and hikes. We both have quite flexible schedules and have open availability including WFH. Lots of time to play with the pups and getting them their needed exercise. We have a spacious home with lots of room to chill. Great new area with a dog park only steps away. Are also mobile and do regular trips out to the mountains for a good stretch !

“Oscar was so well cared for and loved while he stayed with Jacqueline. They sent updates and pictures while he was there and he looked so happy ! They have a beautiful fenced outdoor space for the dogs to run around in as well. I will definitely be bringing Oscar back there!”
About: I am a parent of two dogs, oldest one being brownie. My greatest joy has been raising them, training them and playing with them! Although, it might seem that I have too many pets to handle, I can ensure that I am a very considerate and responsible pet owner and would love to take care of your best buddy alongside mine! I have experience from taking care of many of my personal friend’s pets and was hoping to take it another step further! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Just let me know a week in advance so I can get sort out my schedule!! I have fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company as well as a cat! I can also crate your dog if needed

There are 577 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Carstairs. About 89% of Carstairs 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 Carstairs 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
