“Sandra, her boys and own dog were very welcoming and gentle with little Sophie. She warmed right up and felt very comfortable for her first visit. We will definitely return and appreciate all the caring attentionshe received. Thank you so much!”
About: Our pets are our family. I'm so happy to be able to look after yours, and will treat them as my own. We recently had to let go of our 15 year old girls, so I know how to look after them in all stages of life, including giving them the medicine they need to be comfortable when they get older. I'm very happy to visit your babies and give them all the love they need. I can do drop in visits, house-sitting, and dog walking, and am flexible so can work with your schedule. I also volunteer as bunny hugger with the Calgary Humane Society, so also have a lot of experience with rabbits, and would also be happy to look after yours. All pets are welcome, and I will look after them with my whole heart. I'm currently living on an acreage, and volunteering with the Calgary Humane Society, Inn from the Cold, and the Calgary Library. I have all the love and time to look after your little ones, and can be flexible for what works for you. I am happy to visit your pet, giving food and medicine as needed, and all the treats and love. I would also be thrilled to take your pup out for a good walk and play. We will talk about your pets needs, and I will ensure they are comfortable, safe, and cared for.
About: Hello! I’ve been an animal lover since I was little and I’m SO excited to be able to take care of your fur babies! I've looked after all sorts of dogs and cats since I was younger. Neighbours, family, and friends have entrusted me with looking after their pets and I absolutely love caring for them! Every animal has such a unique personality and I love spending time taking care of them and getting to know them! 🤍 I work from home, so I'm fairly flexible with regards to where I work and the hours I work. I can work whilst pet-sitting or fit my schedule around your pets. I provide lots of love and care, always thinking about the needs of the pet even over my own! I am aware that all pets have different personalities so I really want to hear all the quirks so I can best care for your pet!
“We had an amazing experience with Max’s daycare! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in caring, responsible, and loving hands. Max came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which says everything. Communication was excellent, updates were reassuring, and it’s obvious that they genuinely love what they do. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy daycare for their dog.”
“Nugget had the best time with Lacey! She took such good care of him and I felt so comfortable with him being in her care. She was great with updates and communication. Highly recommend!”
“Buddy was very eager to stay with Olga for daycare. I appreciate the pics that she sent and the attention that she and her family gave Buddy during his stay. I picked Buddy up a little ahead of schedule and Olga was very flexible with that. I will not hesitate to have Olga provide daycare for Buddy in the future.”
“Hazel loved being with Iryna! She was so kind, loving and supportive. She sent me a lot of updates about Hazel throughout the day and even washed her food bowl before returning it to me. She’s awesome!”
“April is great! Good communication with updates throughout the day. Took our pup out on 2 walks during the day as well. We are starting day care leading up to a week long stay over Christmas and to increase our dogs social skills and comfort in new places! We are super happy with Aprils care.”
“Jeffery and family provided exceptional care for my dog. I was provided with pictures, great communication and they were flexable with timing. I would hightly recommend them!”
About: My understanding and love for pets is unconditional. I have bonded with them since I was young and learned their nature and how to take good care of them as my own. They reciprocate more when you show them care and home. Schedule varies on my days off from work. I would love to play and care for your babies on my free time! Let me know! I may not be able to take them home with me but I can in yours! I can keep them company and service their needs. I can be their friend!
About: Newcomers USE Promo code: SHEENW15608 to get 20 dollars off your first booking! I have a very personal approach to petsitting. I take only one guest at a time. So your dog will get all of my focus and will be in a very calm environment. My dog Marlo is very sweet and calm and is an excellent hostess to our guests. I have been away from Rover for awhile busy with clients I’ve had for many years but I would love to expand my clientele and look forward to giving your dog the best one on one care like they deserve.I have loved animals my whole life. In my late teens I had rabbits and for the last 30 years I have had dogs. Out of high school I worked as a vet tech in training for a year. Then from the age of 21 to my early 40s I was blessed to have 6 dogs in my life 3 of which were rescues. All were with me until their very senior years. I have learned so much from them. Most of my dogs were fairly close in age so they were young together and they grew old together. I had the joy of a pack and I have seen and learned so much through the lifetimes of six dogs, one of which was a paraplegic with IVDD. So I am experienced with special needs dogs, seniors, IVDD, manual bladder emptying, dog diapers, blindness, and palliative care. I am able to administer medications including injections and know CPR and what to do in other emergencies. My experiences have taught me empathy, how to serve selflessly and love unconditionally. When my last dog, who was a paraplegic, passed away I fostered a 4 year old female dachshund with IVDD and working with the rescue fully rehabilitated her. I adopted her (Marlo) in 2024 and she is a great hostess to our guest dogs. I get to meet so many perfect little souls and spend time giving them happy moments, comfort, and security while their moms and dads are at work or travelling. I am extremely capable with seniors and special needs dogs because I understand them and what they need medically, physically, and emotionally. All dogs hold a special place in my heart. I have many repeat clients I gained through word of mouth before I came to Rover and look forward to being more available to start meeting new Rover clients so, though I'm just becoming available, I can provide plenty of references from petsitting clients I've been booked with. *Please note my rate amount covers the the booking fee you pay to Rover and the 30 percent fee I pay to Rover I am retired so petcare is something I choose to do because I love it and so I don’t just work it around my routine. Instead I work the rest of my routine around it. I am home full time so your dog is with my dog and me all the time. I am in a pet friendly condo with a fenced in private dog yard for residents. The area has great parks and walk routes also.
“Marina was excellent! She sent so many updates throughout the day which I really appreciated. My dog loved her, her husband and their son. Will definitely be booking with them again!”
“I would give Rory 10 stars if I could. The experience was fantastic from beginning to end. You can see (and feel) that Rory is an animal lover when you meet him. He provided updates as needed. He’s my go-to person for sitting my dog from now on. Thank you Rory!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 4 years, and what truly sets me apart is the genuine love and care I put into every visit. I may not have formal training, but I do have two pets of my own and tons of hands‑on experience treating animals with patience, kindness, and attention to their unique personalities. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s sticking to routines, giving extra playtime, or offering calm company, I treat every fur baby like family. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are always my top priority. Pet care fits easily into my daily life. I’m currently in school, but my schedule is very flexible, so I’m able to plan my classes and study time around my bookings. I already care for my own two pets every day, so adding your fur babies into my routine feels natural. When I’m with your pet, they get my full attention, love, and care. When your dog is with me, they’re treated like part of the family! I create a warm, happy, and safe environment wherever I’m caring for them whether it’s in my home or yours. I keep things calm, clean, and dog-friendly, and I always follow your pup’s normal routine so they feel secure and loved. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure everything stays tidy and safe doors closed, gates locked, and pups always supervised. In my own home, your dog gets cozy spots to relax, lots of affection, and plenty of playtime. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and comfort level so they always feel welcomed, understood, and cared for. No matter the service walks, drop ins, daycare, or boarding your fur baby gets patience, love, and a fun, stress free experience. Their happiness and safety are my top priorities, always. I have a fully fenced yard safe for play time.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats all my life. I understand that every dog is different. Whether your dog is energetic and loves activity, prefers a quieter environment, or simply enjoys being around people, I will tailor their care to suit their personality and routine. I also share my home with Tiggy, my friendly and dog-social cat, so I have experience managing a multi-pet household. The comfort and safety of all animals in my care is always my top priority. I work from home which means your fur baby will have consistent supervision, companionship, and plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and relaxation. My home is located near pathways and green spaces, making it easy to provide regular exercise and outdoor enrichment. I only accept one dog at a time, which means your fur baby won't be competing for attention in a busy environment with multiple dogs. This allows me to focus on their individual needs, routine, and comfort level throughout the day. Most importantly, I treat every fur baby as if they were my own and provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident and connected while you're away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in High River is $32 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $37 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 465 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in High River. About 91% of High River 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.
Help your dog become familiar with the day-care environment before their first full day. Arrange a Meet & Greet so they can visit the sitter’s home, meet the sitter and any resident pets, and explore the space while you are there. This can make the environment feel more familiar and help you and the sitter confirm that the setup is right for your dog.
Pack anything you and the sitter have agreed your dog will need, such as:
- Their usual food and approved treats, with feeding instructions
- Medication, with clear dosage instructions, if needed
- Their collar or harness and other walking equipment
- Familiar comfort items, such as a blanket or favourite toy
- Any seasonal gear they may need
On the day of the booking, keep your dog’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including their usual meal, toilet break, and some light exercise. Keep drop-off calm and brief, which may help make the transition easier.
If your dog is shy, nervous, or needs more time to adjust to unfamiliar places, ask whether a shorter introductory stay is possible before their first full day.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. Every sitter on Rover has their own routine and some may offer flexible activities suited for your dog. 95% of sitters in your city can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays.
These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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 High River 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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
- 91% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
