“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 is very kind and my dog enjoyed her care. She sent pictures and videos of how my dog was doing, that made me feel so relieved since it was first time for my dog to have someone else take care of her. I will definitely ask for her service again. Thank you very much Denise ❣️”

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.
“Claire is so kind and awesome!! My dog loved her care. She is very good with communication and kept me updated of my dog. Definitely I will ask her service again. Thank you very much for wonderful care for Frankie.”

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.
“Definitely would recommend Taylor! My usual dog care fell through, and I reached out to Taylor pretty last minute. Super accommodating for my work schedule! Marley was really good with Koda coming into her home!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely love spending time with them! From fun walks and playtime to keeping routines consistent, I make sure every pup feels happy, safe, and loved. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures or prefers slower, relaxed walks, I adjust to their needs. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means I have a very flexible schedule and lots of availability throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care during weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care since I’m home most of the time. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs! I have a fully gated backyard that provides a safe, secure space for pets to play, explore, and enjoy time outdoors. Your pet will always be supervised and cared for in a calm, loving environment. My home is a safe and welcoming space where your pet will feel comfortable, relaxed, and treated like family. My son loves to be outside playing fetch non stop with the dogs.
“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!”
About: I've honed my pet care skills through over a decade and a half of walks, grooming, and attentive care with many animals, including my sister's emotional support dog, who requires a lot of extra attention. I’ve also provided overnight care, check-ins, and walks for animals of all sizes and breeds, ensuring their comfort and well-being. I am readily available for pet care services whenever I'm not traveling, ensuring your furry companions receive the attention and care they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate your needs with ease. For boarding, I carefully assess each case to ensure a comfortable stay for your pet. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I prioritize maintaining their familiar environment and routine. I am open to providing regular updates as requested to keep owners informed and reassured.
“Sarah and her family were fantastic and super friendly. Her dogs were great with ours and were friendly. I got updates about my pups during their stay and a video of them playing. Our pups will definitely be going back to Sarah's place.”

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
“My dog obviously had a lot of fun with Sarah's dog because he didn't want to wake up this morning and went back to sleep right after his walk. The updates I received during his stay were much appreciated too!”

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.
About: Hello, thank you for visiting my profile! Growing up, I’ve been surrounded by so many pets and I’ve loved each dearly. My husband and I have a 2 year old German shepherd named Apawllo who is a very goofy and affectionate guy who loves meeting new friends. We also have a 1 year old corgi x mini Australian shepherd named Arlo who is the biggest cuddle bug who also adores new friends. I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, ferrets, horses, cows, birds, and more. I feel comfortable handling any size animal and I believe that I would be a perfect fit. I live in a welcoming home on a quiet street in Innisfail, but am willing to commute to pick up/drop off your pets, as well as in home pet sitting. I would be more than glad to chat with you further and thank you again for reading my post. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to message me at anytime through Rover :) I look forward to hearing from you and soon meeting your fur babies! Talk soon. I have a baby boy who also adores animals. I am currently on maternity leave and do not plan on returning to work. That being said, I have plenty of time to spoil your pets with lots of love and play time. Prior to my leave, I was an infant nanny for the last seven years while completing my honours bachelor in childhood development. As mentioned, I am home from work for the foreseeable future and have lots of time on my hands to go on hikes and to play with your pets. I have 2 dogs of my own and am familiar with the day to day of pet care. I have two friendly dogs who can keep your pet(s) company while you’re away. We live on a quiet street and are close to trails and amenities that my dogs and I use often.
About: Like many others, I have been blessed with having the ability to care for animals throughout my life. In 2015, I had the wonderful opportunity to follow my passion professionally. I began working in a veterinarian clinic as a receptionist, technician assistant and external boarding for cats. After the adoption of our beloved Trixie in 2018, my focus shifted to behavior training while continuing care within the small animal medical atmosphere. Recently, I became certified as a professional pet dog trainer and specialized in aggression/reactivity/seperation anxiety. I continue my education through conferences/mentor sessions and am working towards becoming CCPDT certified. I am also an enrichment scent work instructor. I also have my Canine First Aid certification. If you are looking for someone to care for your companion, and would like to add any of the services that are mentioned above during their time with me (or at another time), I would love to get to know you and your companion. I am currently a stay at home mom and provide individualized training consultations as well as general pet care during early mornings and evenings during the week (including weekends). I offer limited care (1 or 2 dogs at a time) in my own home during the day if need be. My only requirements are that your companion not have prey drive (I do have cats and young children) and are good with another female adult dog. I have a large fenced in yard, and can accommodate your specific instructions/requirements as much as possible. Your companion will always be supervised and never left unattended.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Red Deer is $35
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Red Deer
Carina and Avi were extremely kind to my dogs and to me. I was very late arriving and they offered to extend their care, which I did after a number of indecision points. I appreciated this so much. Their home was very clean, every detail of my dogs’ needs was attended to, and I felt cared for too. I would definitely book again. Thank you Carina and Avi!

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.

Cathy-Lea and her hubby took excellent care of Annie!! This gave us time to go see our Granddaughter's Kindergarten program!!! Annie seemed to love feeling safe and was happy to be in their home. Will definitely use their services again! Thanks so much guys! 🐾 🐾 🐾 Lorri, Gary and Annie

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Red Deer
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Red Deer on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 44 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Red Deer. About 84% of Red Deer 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 Red Deer 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.
