“Carina is fantastic. She is so thorough and takes excellent care of our puppy. We have appreciated her wonderful communication, with regular updates and photos that give us peace of mind while he is there. She is reliable, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. Our puppy adores her, and we feel completely confident leaving him in her care. Highly recommend!”

“Denise was amazing! She made sure my pup was safe and gave him lots of opportunities for playtime. She is kind, caring, and very responsive. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Few years experience with own pets. I have experience walking family members dogs as well as my own. Dog breeds i have experience with are golden retrievers, dachshunds and dobermans. I am currently still training my doberman as he is 6 months old. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and take them for walks! My schedule is pretty flexible. I have a big fenced yard for potty breaks and play time. I have a 2 year old female mini dachshund and a 6 month old male doberman who love to play and meet other dogs. Your dog will be very well taken care of! Plenty of snuggles and fun
About: I have taken care of rescue dogs, both young mom and pups, along with pregnant dogs, to senior dogs. I grew up with different types of dogs and my grandfather raced greyhounds. I currently am at home. I do have my granddaughter after school, who loves animals. She has a cat. Going for walks would also help me get some exercise. I have an unfenced yard, so your dog would always be on a leash. I have a small senior dog that usually would accompany me on walks.
About: I have been blessed with the ability to dog sit all sorts of breeds for the past 13 years. From toy poodles, Shih Tzu’s, to Doberman pinschers. I have loved every minute of it. I especially enjoy working with senior pets. I love to bring them some fun as well as calmness in their senior years and love on them as much as possible. I love getting to take things at their speed. Having just lost the ten year old Doberman I had cared for full time for a year and a half, having taken some time to mourn her loss, I am now ready to bring on someone new. I am available to come to your home, where your dog is most comfortable to sit for the day or even a few hours. Or if it is more convenient to welcome your dog into my home. I love being able to take dogs for walks for some good exercise or just to get their business done. I will treat your dog as if they are my very own, and I mean that! As a stay at home mom, with my children getting older and currently in middle school, I am looking for something to get me out of the house, and bring me a sense of fulfillment. I love having a really good reason to go for a walk. Having a dog to walk is to me the ultimate reason to get outside! I am extremely flexible to schedule and whatever routine will meet you and your dogs needs. I have a small fenced back yard. I live just off of Kin Kanyon and there are many trails to be taken advantage of. I do have a cat who simply ignores most dogs. If she is a concern I can happily put her into the basement with the door closed while the dog is visiting.
“Chanda was super sweet and accommodating with my nervous pup! He ended up getting sick when I dropped him off and she handled it very well, kept me updated and made sure he was comfortable!”
“Courtney was able to take my boy last minute after the other sitter I had fell through which was so appreciated. She was great at sending updates and he absolutely loves her. I highly recommend Courtney and will definitely be using her again ?”

“It was my first time trusting someone I don’t know with Winnie. Claire and her children were exceptional, especially her son. (Thanks for taking such good care of her lil man) . Claire sent pictures and when is was time to go home, Winnie wasn’t in THAT big of a hurry to come inside when Claire and son dropped Winnie off.”

About: I have nine years experience taking care of our dear animals. They are a wonderful gift to us. I have taken in animals that had no home and made them happy. I understand that your pet is a part of your heart and you can feel relieved that him/her is in good care ❤ with me. Animals have an amazing sense of energy. I always gave off a good sense of energy :) That's why they trust me. Of course, in some cases the animal will need time to warm up as even humans do. I have rescued four cats in my lifetime from the Calgary Humane Society. They all were healthy, happy and loved. I even let them sleep with me in bed :)
About: "Dogs are my people, I understand them better!" Is what I like to say . Hey there ,I love hanging out with pups and they seem to love me too! I've got tons of experience with dogs. I used to work at doggy daycares, and I've grown up with dogs around all my life. I even have two furry friends of my own! My Australian Shepherd is super friendly and loves going for walks and runs, so your pup can expect to get plenty of exercise. My roommate's Boxer/Pitbull mix is a big softie with a booming bark, but don't worry, he's just excited to meet new friends! By the end of the day, your pup will be happily worn out. If you'd like to work on any training with your dog, I'm happy to help! I've trained my own dogs and even helped out my mom with hers. I'll be with your dog the whole time they're here, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. Let me know if you have any questions! And tell me little about your dog and their needs. Currently not working . So with the help of my two furry friends, I have all the time and love to give your pet a fun and enriching stay! I'd be happy to care for your dog in a safe, trusting, and comfortable environment! Here's how I'll ensure their well-being: * Safety First: We'll meet beforehand so I can assess your dog's temperament and make sure they're a good fit for my home and our dogs get along. On walks, I'll keep them securely leashed, and they will never be left unsupervised at my home . * Trust and Routine: To minimize disruption, I'll stick to their regular feeding and walking schedule as much as possible. I'll follow your instructions for care and medications, and use cuddles, playtime positive training to build a bond. * Homey Comfort: my house is dog proofed already as I have 2 dogs. They'll have a comfy bed, fresh water, and their favorite toys from home to feel at ease. ( I suggest usually toy from home to add comfort to their stay) Regular cleaning will ensure their living area is fresh and hygienic. By following these steps, your dog will have a positive and stress-free stay in my home.
About: I have never been without dogs in my life, from growing up at home to being independent in my own home and raising my family. I currently have 2 large breed and 1 small breed dog. I believe socializing dogs is key to having a well rounded dog. My dogs have been socialized around adults, seniors, children, babies, cats, horses, goats, sheep and chickens. I currently manage a retirement community in Red Deer, my husband is semi-retired. We have 2 dwelling on our acreage. My mother and uncle reside in the second dwelling and are around 24/7, because of this 0-2 hour potty breaks are able to be offered. I will be the sole sitter responsible for caring for the dogs in my care. Our dogs are a huge part of our family, and are included in outings. They are provided with at least one walk a day, and are often found outside with us while chores are being done, or a fire and the pit is being enjoyed. Our small breed dog joins me at work in the retirement community engages with 80+ residents there.

“Had an overall good experience. Dilly has always been a bit shy but Sarah made sure to give him a good balance of space and cuddles which definitely helped during his stay! Thanks a bunch!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 44 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Lacombe. About 83% of Lacombe 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 Lacombe 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. 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.
