About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds ever since I was a child. I have always had a passion for animals and have never lived in a home without them. Friends, families, neighbours, and colleagues have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and brush their furry loved ones. I have two dogs (Buddo and Eevee) who are trained off leash and on leash; they are incredibly friendly and love to play with other dogs. I am a teacher with full-time availability for doggy day care, walks, or checking in on your furry loved ones in the summer! Once the school year starts up, I am only available on weekends. When caring at my own home: I have two friendly dogs of my own, with a very large backyard for play time. The yard is split into two separately fenced areas, which allows for some quiet time from my own dogs if necessary. When caring in your home: I am comfortable crating your furry friend, administering medication, and following special feeding instructions if necessary. I send regular photo updates, along with feeding/water updates to ensure you know that your loved ones are safe and cared for.
“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!”
“Maude and her whole family could not have been more lovely!! We were visiting Olds for a family gathering and at the very last minute booked to have our 1.5 year old corgi pup spend the afternoon/evening at her home. Our Lowla had never been left anywhere before and it was better than we could have hoped for! Maude’s easy welcome put my mind at ease right away and I am sure Lowla would have happily stayed longer! Thank you Maude!! Would highly recommend to anyone!”
“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!!”

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 !
About: I’ve always been an animal lover! Throughout my life I’ve had dogs, cat, horses, birds and guinea pigs as pets! At the present moment I live with two cats, and because of them I’ve learned a lot about how to take care of animals, including medication if needed. I love my cats, and even though they are very playful, I miss spending time with a dog, because they are so much fun to be around and play with! Spending quality time with my pets has always been one of the greatest joys of my life, and I believe it to be important for them too. Throughout my pet experience I’ve to give oral medication and subcutaneous fluids, tend to stitches, groom, clip nails and bathe.
About: Hello there! I'm Oindrila, you can call me Cinderella. Thanks for stopping by my profile. 🐾 I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always happiest around animals, and my own Golden Retriever, Buddy, was a huge part of my life before he sadly passed away last year. Taking care of him taught me how much patience, love, and consistency dogs need to feel happy and secure. I also gained hands-on experience caring for dogs through Rover in the U.S., where I regularly helped my aunt with dog boarding, dog walks, daycare, and daily care. Looking after dogs of different breeds, ages, and personalities has only strengthened my passion for providing them with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. At the moment, I am home full-time, which means your dog will receive my full attention throughout the day. Whether your pup enjoys playing, exploring, cuddling, or simply relaxing beside someone, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I offer: 🐶 Dog Walking 🏡 Doggy Day Care 🛏️ Overnight Boarding 🚪 Drop-In Visits I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! My Home I live in a quiet, safe, and dog-friendly neighborhood in Airdrie. While I don't have a private backyard, your dog will enjoy regular walks around the neighborhood, plenty of outdoor time, and lots of opportunities to sniff, explore, and exercise. Inside, my home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, giving your dog a comfortable place to relax between walks and playtime. Since I'm home throughout the day, your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of companionship, supervision, and affection. Every dog has their own personality, and I always adjust my care to match their individual needs and routine. Before Your Dog's Stay To help your dog feel as comfortable as possible, I'd love to know: * Your dog's name, age, and breed * Feeding schedule and daily routine * Any medications, allergies, or special care instructions * Energy level and exercise needs * How they interact with other dogs and people * Favorite toys, treats, and activities * Anything else that helps them feel safe and happy The more I know beforehand, the better I can make their stay feel just like home. During Their Stay Your dog's day will be built around their normal routine as much as possible. We'll start the day with a potty break and breakfast, followed by walks through the neighborhood, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of attention throughout the day. There will be plenty of time to relax, nap, cuddle, or simply enjoy a calm environment between activities. In the evening, we'll head out for another walk before dinner and wind down with quiet time and one final potty break before bed. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they receive the care, exercise, affection, and attention they deserve. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and excited to come back for another visit.
“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!”
“Jeff is amazing with the dogs. He provides great updates of my doggo. My doggo is super excited when he sees Jeff and gets to hang with other dogs. He is happy and I can’t say enough of Jeff and his care for my fur baby.”
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!!

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.
