About: While I haven’t owned my own dogs, my sister rescued from all over so I’ve been able to care for many dogs. I’m comfortable with any size dog. I am currently available for week day/evenings and weekends available to care for your animals. I will be able to maneuver my schedule as needed. I will follow any house rules in regards to caring for your pet in your home. Whether it special crating, meals, yard safety and limits etc.

About: I was born and raised on a mixed farm in Southern Saskatchewan. While growing up, I was surrounded by farm cats and dogs. However, my residence doesn’t allow pets in the house. When I came across Rover, I thought it would be a great opportunity to interact and be around animals. I am trustworthy, punctual and energetic! I enjoy walking and biking around my neighbourhood. I am an animal bioscience graduate with volunteer experience at a veterinary clinic. While working at the clinic I have taken care of clients cats and various sized dogs. Tasks would include helping the technicians restrain the pet while they receive a vaccine, cleaning poop in the kennels, feeding and watering the animals, going for walks when needed and always petting them when given the chance. I look forward to taking care of your pet.
About: Taking care of animals has always been a big part of my life. I grew up with pets and still share my home with them today, so being around animals feels natural to me. I’m not someone who rushes in and out. I take my time, pay attention, and make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m big on the little moments and always make space for extra affection, play, and quiet cuddle time. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to watch their pets while they’re away, sometimes for days or even weeks. Those stats are filled with walks, meals, playtime, and most of all plenty of love that is never rushed. When your pet is with me, they’re treated just like my own, with patience, kindness, and genuine care. If you want someone who will care for your pets like family, I’d be happy to help. Pets are a big part of my daily life, and I love caring for them. I’m a first-year Open Studies student at the University of Calgary, and with a light course load, I have a flexible schedule to give your pets the attention they deserve. I also play on the Dino’s women’s soccer team, bringing the same energy, focus, and dedication to caring for pets as I do on the field. My own pets are spoiled with cuddles, playtime, and lots of affection, even on days when I’m not pet sitting. That same love and patience goes into caring for every animal I look after, whether they need walks, visits throughout the day, overnight care, or quiet lap time. I take my time with each pet and make sure they feel calm, comfortable, and truly cared for. I provide all pet care right in your home, so your cats, dogs, or other furry family members can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment with their favorite toys, cozy spots, and daily routines. I follow your instructions carefully, secure doors and windows, respect all household rules, and treat your home with the same care I would my own. With a lifelong love of animals, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s walks and playtime for dogs, gentle cuddles and chin scratches for cats, fresh meals and water, potty breaks, litter box care, or just quiet companionship, I give attention that’s tailored to each pet’s needs. Owners appreciate how relaxed and content their pets remain, knowing both their home and furry family members are in caring, trustworthy hands.
About: Your pet’s new bestie! I’m reliable, caring, and fully prepared for walks, cuddles, zoomies, and dramatic side-eyes. Expect lots of love, attention, and cute photo updates while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, allowing plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and giving pets consistent attention, care, and companionship daily. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of attention, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Melissa is just wonderful. Ranger just loves her and in fact waits for her by the door. She is on time and is lovely to deal with. Thank you Melissa for taking such good care of Ranger.”
“Viktioriia was amazing from our very first communication- always responsive and sent daily updates with pictures and videos. She connected so well with my dog and really put both of us at ease. I felt confident knowing Rosie was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
About: Ever since I was a baby I’ve spent my life around animals from small to large, domestic to farm. I have always had a deep compassion for animals. As a child I always wanted to be around and with animals wanting to grow up working with them in any way. I have 5 years of experience working on a dairy farm and have worked at a doggy daycare. In 2023 I got my first puppy as an adult. Since then I have rescued 1, and had 2 rehomed to me as well. In my free time a few days a week I volunteer at the CHS taking dogs out for the day giving them a break from the shelter, showing them what everyday life looks like. Animals are already a huge part of my everyday life, so dog walking fits very naturally into my routine. I have a flexible schedule with availability every other week from 4:30pm–10:00pm, and on alternating weeks from 7:00am–10:00pm. I enjoy getting out for walks, spending time with dogs, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away or busy. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by sticking to their normal routines, giving them lots of attention, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I understand how important trust, patience, and consistency are when caring for someone else’s pet.
About: I have a genuine love for animals and take great pride in caring for them. I am experienced in looking after dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs that need extra patience and attention. I also enjoy caring for cats and birds, including baby birds that require gentle handling and special care. I am responsible, compassionate, and dedicated to ensuring every animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care is a regular part of my routine. Every day, I make time for feeding, cleaning, exercise, playtime, and ensuring pets are comfortable, healthy, and receiving the attention they need. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and keeping living areas clean. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
About: I've been around dogs since I was a baby! I've volunteered and worked at my local shelter since 2013, ran a pet sitting business for a couple years while in highschool, and have 3 dogs back at home! I am also a Bath-Brusher at a dog salon back at home so I've got lots of pet care experience! I'm currently taking a course to become a certified dog groomer so my hours vary. I am always available after 5pm-10pm and 10am-10pm on weekends. I will follow any instructions given as I know many dogs have important needs like food sensitivities or bladder issues! Please let me know ahead of time any special needs!
About: I’ve had a dog for 9 years, I trained her and I house sit with her every summer. I’m very good with dogs I love to play with them and bring them on exciting walks I’m currently in school online which has no schedule so I have lots of free time to play with pups and bring them on long walks I will care for the pet based on the clients home, I love the outdoors so if there is no fenced in yard I’m more than happy to go on multiple walks long or short
About: I have a very high tolerance and patience with all sizes and breeds. I am okay with cats as well. I’ve trained a couple of my friends animals a few times. And I love just getting out for exercise so would love to look after your fur companion to give him/her some exercise as well :) I was the kid who took in all the animals who were homeless. I am very energetic as well so if you have a very high energy dog don’t you worry!! I’m a student who is looking to get out more, make a bit of pocket money, and have a little fur companion to hang out with during the day. I can't wait to meet your fur babies and companions. I have a little one on daycare during the day. So week days between 9-4pm are ideal, but If you need someone to walk or check in just give me a few hours notice and I can arrange a babysitter. I have a 20 month old so if I need to bring my girl dogs must be good with kids. I can also arrange babysitter as well. If I’m walking your pup I have had clients leave their treats and leash in the area that is visible but it is whatever you are comfortable with, I am very flexible!
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, snakes, turtles, fish, rabbits, hamsters, and everything in between! There is no pet that I wont adore. I believe life should treat people how they treat animals, because they are the most pure and deserving beings of unconditional love. I’d be honoured to take care of your fur baby like they’re my own. I’m currently working part-time and have plenty of flexibility to take care of pets with a variety of needs. I’d be happy to work on a schedule that works for both the pet owner and myself to best care for the animal. I’d be happy to come to your home where your pet is most comfortable and keep their routine the same as you would. I want the utmost comfort for animals who are missing their owners, making it a happy experience while their parents are away!
About: I’ve raised three dogs and two cats, so I’m basically fluent in barks, meows, and side-eye. Whether your pet’s a cuddle bug or a drama queen, they’ll get plenty of love, play, and snacks (if allowed, of course). I'm currently a full-time student without a job, so my schedule is really flexible. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine since I have plenty of free time to give your pets the attention, walks, and cuddles they need I only offer pet sitting at the client’s home because I believe pets are happiest in their own space. I stick to their normal routines, provide lots of love, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: I have owned and fostered both cats and dogs, of various sizes & ages. (Including newborn kittens!) Everyone knows me as a huge animal lover. I have also recently started working in the admissions department at the Calgary Humane Society. I was living in Victoria BC for university and enjoyed creating connections through Rover. Hoping to do the same back home in Calgary! My rates can be flexed a bit so feel free to reach out and see if it is a good fit. I am a recent UVIC social work grad, I work 5 days a week at the Calgary Humane Society so weekends are best for dog sitting. Sunday-Thursday I am gone 8 hours+. I am a very respectful house / pet sitter and ensure to leave the space as I find it. Pet wellbeing is incredibly important to me and I understand the trust owner’s put into sitters, and strive to exceed expectations.
“Paige was really great with our Corgi. She felt comfortable with a new dog and took him for a nice walk. She was reliable, friendly and trustworthy. Would for sure hire her again for all dog services.”

Carla was absolutely wonderful with our 9 week-old Bernese Mountain pup! Working from home has been a challenge - trying to work efficiently and finding the time for play, potty breaks and naps. Carla was very accommodating and was able to spend a few hours with our pup in the comfort of our own home. Our pup loved her and we will certainly use her services again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Okotoks is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 1,902 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Okotoks. About 84% of Okotoks 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.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Okotoks. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Okotoks after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Okotoks with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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.
walkers 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 walker.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Okotoks choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
