About: I love animals. I am especially fond of small dogs. I have had chihuahuas for nearly 20+ years in total and grew up with dogs and cats all my life. I have experience with fostering dogs in the past which includes the birth of new chihuahua cross puppies. Watching them grow was such a highlight in my life. I am available to provide care for your beloved pets, whether it involves a drop-in for outdoor time, feeding, watering, or cleaning their litter. I am happy to assist you. Please note that beginning January 5th, 2026, my availability for drop-in visits during weekdays (Monday-Friday) will be limited to evenings, specifically from 6 PM to 9 PM. On weekends and statutory holidays, my availability is from 7:30 AM to 9:30 PM. Additionally, I offer boarding services in my home for both small dogs and cats. As a pet owner myself, with two chihuahuas and two cats, I understand the dedication required to care for our animal companions. I always seek the best possible care for my own pets when I am unable to provide it, and I imagine you desire the same level of care for yours. Our pets are truly members of our families. I have a securely fenced yard that offers ample space for play. My dogs are crate-trained and generally respectful of other animals within my home, though a brief adjustment period may occasionally be needed (typically a few hours to a day to get use to eachother.) My pets are fed twice daily, at breakfast and supper, and always have access to fresh water. My dog, Tino, uses doggy bells on the back door to indicate when he needs to go outside, a system your dogs could also use if they are trained to do so. Furthermore, I am very observant of any signs that suggest a need to go out and provide frequent outdoor breaks. Ideally, I prefer to care for your pet in your home through drop-in visits, allowing them to remain comfortable in their familiar environment. However, my home is also available as an option, depending on your specific requirements.
About: With over 15 years of animal care experience, I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities. Growing up surrounded by animals—both large and small—gave me a lifelong passion for their care and well-being. I spent 2 years working as a kennel attendant before moving into a veterinary clinic, where I worked for 6 years. During my time in the clinic, I gained hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and medical needs, including administering medications, caring for senior pets, assisting with recovery, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. Now that I’m a stay-at-home mom, I truly miss my furry clients and the joy they brought to my days. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet as if they were one of my own. Whether they need an energetic walking buddy, a calm companion, or lots of love and attention while you’re away, you can trust they’ll be in caring, experienced hands. Also actively passing down my love for animals to my children. I am a stay at home mom of 3 kids with plenty of free time - open & flexible schedule able to cater to specific needs 2 meals a day, experienced with medication - my beloved fur baby of 14 years passed in January 2026 from congestive heart failure so I know how important it is to maintain a schedule & make sure they get the things they need. I have a 1.5 year old neutered lab named Bodie - extremely friendly & loves everyone & everything

“Carla is amazing! I was so nervous about leaving my 7 month old puppy for the first time. She was great at making me feel more comfortable and keeps me updated with messages and pictures during every booking. My pup is definitely going to be a regular at Carlas’s place!”

“Clover goes to Mitchell's place 1-2 times per week and is always very excited to go. She is always tired and happy when we pick her up. It gives us peace of mind that she is so well taken care of on our long work days.”

About: I am very experienced in all areas of dog care, having years of experience fostering dogs of all ages, including those with behavioural or mobility challenges. I have pet first aid training, and graduate-level education in canine health and cognition, along with formal training in dog behaviour modification. I offer support in desensitizing dogs who are fearful or reactive to handling/grooming using only positive reinforcement. I prioritize enrichment and meeting each dog’s physical and mental needs in ways that are appropriate for them. I’m active and enjoy longer walks and jogging with dogs who benefit from and enjoy that level of activity. I am also able to accommodate dogs who benefit from mobility-friendly environments.

“We are so grateful for the amazing and attentive care given to our puppy Benji by Patrisha! She was communicative and sent pictures and updates frequently during his first ever pet sitting experience! Benji was nervous at first but warmed up to her and her family by the end of the stay. We would definitely book with her again! Thanks again Patrisha!!”

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs for over 10 years and have experience dog sitting dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, as well as caring for cats.

About: Hello, my name is Mikela, I'm 30yrs old I had two dogs and a pig but I no longer have them with me. MJ who was our oldest dog, and was disabled due to an accident is no longer with us because of old age and her disability. Her sister Onyx is now thirteen, they were a funny pair and you knew who was top dog. MJ was a small yorkie/pom/jack russel. I got her from a farm and I adopted Onyx who also came from a reserve. So both our dogs are rescues and mixes, we also had a pot belly pig with Onyx named Dexter. Their relationship was something I wish could have lasted longer but because of circumstances thought differently. I can't deal with cats here due to my mom being allergic so we don't own any, our home is just dog friendly and whatever other pet you have that isn't a cat. I'm hoping to earn a little extra money with this job so solid inquiries only. No stepping in with interest and then backing away, I'm hoping the interest you bring will be final. I find the interest and then finding someone else rude because you make me hopeful and happy, so solid inquiries only please. A little about me I've got epilepsy and that's why I'm doing this, I live with my parents so I don't live alone. Because of my epilepsy I can't drive. My schedule is open, I'm currently looking for work from home. So I'm open after 12:00am until 7:30(ish)pm for boarding/looking after your animals. We can customize the time too. Our fence has just been redone so your dog won't be able to jump or get out. We've got treats for my one dog Onyx so if you are okay with sharing I'll share. We also have a water dish and our place is fairly clean, we don't have a spot to crate and I won't be able to come pick your pets up due to my disability.
“Maria has been fantastic to communicate and make arrangements with! We had a meet and greet at her house before eventually booking my dog in for day care. She was flexible with my pick up time which was super helpful and took the pressure off while I was out with friends. She also arranged to have another dog that day so my dog could have a play day. He was very happy and sleepy when I picked him up 🙂 I will book with Maria again!”

“Excellent experience! Our dog was well cared for and SherryLynn was very accommodating for our schedule. We were in town for a ball tournament and didn’t know exact times as it depended on wind/losses and she was very flexible. Our dog enjoyed a nice, safe, air conditioned home, with lots of attention on a hot summer weekend!”

“Morgan took great care of Maisy and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout the day. Maisy was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. Communication was excellent and we felt very comfortable leaving her in Morgan’s care. Would definitely book again!”

“Megan was great to deal with, she was amazing with our pup. I got an update during the day letting us know how our doggie was doing and pictures. We will definitely be using Megan again.”

About: I love all dogs. Growing up I would babysit dogs in our town. I now have the cutest 3 year old golden retriever of my own. I understand that each dog has its own personality just like each human. Clear communication is important to me so I can understand both yours and your dog’s needs so that they can feel comfortable and safe when they’re in my care. Fun fact: My dog and I have the same name and we both have that “golden” energy. ✨ During the summer my availability is for the most part completely open. During September- June my availability is mostly nights with holiday and weekend availability. I have a large fenced in back yard with lots of green space to run around in. I have one female 3 year old golden retriever that loves to play with other dogs. Your dog will also have access to an abundance of toys and lots of attention from myself.
About: 15+ years of experience working with dogs, providing attentive, reliable care you can trust. I am focused on adult & senior dogs, being patient, calm approach tailored to their pace and needs (sorry, no puppy training :( ). I have a behavior-based care: due my experience, I can read body language and adapt to each dog, helping them feel safe and understood. Basic training reinforcement, supporting routines, boundaries, and good habits for adult dogs. Medication administration (as prescribed by a vet) carefully and consistent with your instructions. With low stress! :) Safety-first mindset, giving attentive supervision and thoughtful handling at all times. Clear, consistent communication, with regular updates so you always know how your dog is doing. You're gonna receive a bunch of pics and videos! My schedule is quite flexible, and with advance notice I can easily plan around pet boarding. I also spend most weekends at home with my dog, Kykyo — so your dog will have lots of company and attention. Spacious apartment with full access, so dogs are free to move around and relax in all areas of the home, including sleeping on the bed if they’re used to it. Leash-only walks: all outdoor time is structured and safe, with no off-leash exposure. Calm, home-based environment: I spend most of my time at home, so your dog will have consistent supervision and company. Dog compatibility required: I only accept dogs that are friendly, well-socialized, and comfortable around other dogs. We can schedule a meet and greet before booking, if needed. Best suited for medium to large, calm, well-socialized dogs Thoughtful introductions and monitoring: I ensure a smooth, low-stress adjustment. Respecting boundaries: interactions are always supervised and kept safe and positive.

There are 81 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Dalmeny. About 92% of Dalmeny 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 Dalmeny 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 SK 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
