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
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.
“Our Bella is developing a nice routine with Mitchell and his pups! She enjoys spending the day with them and is excited when we show up. This is becoming her second home ☺️”
“Tara watches Sadie for daycare and she is amazing. Sadie can be a little timid in the beginning and Tara was amazing at letting her warm up. Tara’s communication is great and she is super accommodating!”

“I have been taking my pup (Atlas) here a few days a week while I’m at work for the last few months and have boarded him when I have to be gone for weekends! They are my go to sitters! Alex and Hailee are absolutely wonderful and I never have to worry about Atlas when he is there! They are quick to respond, super flexible and send me many updates and pictures of the day! I couldn’t recommend them more!”
“Our little girl had a fantastic time with Carla and the other fur babies within Carla’s care. Our Charlotte can’t wait to come back and her parents are looking forward to more daycare too! 5/5”
“Hannah and her family are so incredible. Nova loves going there and to see her floofy tail wag at the door during drop-offs means everything! She is also extremely accommodating with shift work. Nova can’t wait for her next visit! :)”
“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!!”
“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!”
“What a 10/10 experience for my dog Mr. Moo and for myself. Cassandra was a strong communicator, kind, and so welcoming. Moo immediately settled into her lovely home. Cassandra sent me pictures throughout the day, played with Moo and gave him all the snuggles and met all of his needs. At pick up we received a little report card on how Moo did in the new setting. It was SO adorable and it was the best part of my day getting the little report card. I would highly recommend Cassandra to anyone!!! We are so lucky to have found a reliable, safe, and kind person like Cassandra. We look forward to working with her again! ♥️♥️♥️♥️”
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. I would love to chat to discuss all the services I can offer, and I do offer flexible pricing for special circumstances. I currently work from home and have full flexibility in my schedule as long as I have an early enough heads up to make adjustments as needed. I am 100% positive reinforcement and enrichment focussed. I follow the pet’s lead, and I will never use any aversive or intimidating discipline.. I am fully equipped with supplies ‑ including crates, pens and dog beds.
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.

I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I’m currently enrolled in the Bachelor of Education program at the University of Saskatchewan, and I take pride in being dependable, responsible, and committed to providing every pet with the care, attention, and love they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play under my supervision, and I always make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and a comfortable place to relax. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions carefully, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Experienced Pet Sitter with a Passion for Animals Hi! I’m a lifelong pet lover with a rich history of caring for various animals. Growing up with a cat, budgie, hamster, two bunnies (and their babies), and two standard poodles, I’ve always been surrounded by furry and feathered friends. Inspired by my parents’ successful in-home pet sitting service, I decided to follow in their footsteps. My journey includes being a guardian home for a doodle breeder in Ontario, where I gained valuable experience and confidence in dog care. Currently, we have a 3-year-old standard poodle who is energetic, friendly, and eager to make new friends. Our home is busy and loving, ready to welcome your pet and make them feel safe and comfortable. What I Offer: • Two leashed walks per day • Lots of love and snuggles • Quiet space for pets needing downtime (I work from home in a basement office) • Fenced yard for fresh air and playtime • Crates available if desired While my primary experience is with poodles and doodles, I’m open to all breeds, provided they’re good with other dogs, kids, and our caged gecko. We will treat your pet as our own, ensuring they receive plenty of love and attention. Looking forward to connecting and providing a safe, comfortable option for your pet so you can travel worry-free. Dog care fits seamlessly into my schedule as a stay-at-home parent. With an SUV perfect for pet transport, I’m always ready for leashed walks and trips to the dog park. I’m home all day with my two girls for summer break, ensuring that your pet will have constant companionship, attention, and care. Your pet will enjoy a structured day filled with playtime, exercise, and plenty of love in our busy and welcoming home. I have a fenced yard for lots of outdoor time. Dogs are allowed on the couch and in bed, plus we have crates if that’s their preference. I always make sure the water bowl is full and will adhere to your feeding schedule. My kids are goofy and will keep your pet active with lots of laughter and silliness.
“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!”
“Lauren was great to work with ! My baby girl meadow was so tired afterwards, can definitely tell she had a great time ! ( Photos Lauren sent also evidence of all the fun) highly recommend. Thank you!”
“Colleen is so thoughtful and kind with Eli. He loves walks with her and Teddy. She really makes him feel at home and the second time there he ran up the front steps, right into her home. Colleen is Eli’s first experience with a sitter and it couldn’t have been more positive, we are so happy with Colleen. Thank you ?”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 79 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Dalmeny. About 88% 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.
