“Caylee was great. It is so nice that she not only fed and let out my dogs but spent time with them In the pictures she was outside with them and was playing them in the house with toys. My dogs were happy in the pictures and happy when I got home. For my oldest dog, there weren't any bathroom accidents when I got home which I accept usually happens, but not this time. Very happy with the care for them.”


“Brandi was quick to get back to me and easy to communicate with. She made the whole process very smooth and we felt comfortable having her stop by and walk and feed our pups while we were out for the day.”


“Kirsten replied promptly at my questions via texting and send me a photo of Shalom. She was very accommodating and flexible since Shalom is 17 years old and needed extra special care, like taking her down the stairs and up the stairs for poeping and peeing outside. She also tried to get her to eat, since she struggles to eat these days. Thanks Kirsten for keeping my dog alive and well.:)”


“I definitely recommend Jayme with looking after you beloved pet family members. We went on our first family vacation and got to enjoy it worry free. Jayme looked after my two dogs that are high energy and can be vocal. My bunny rabbit, gecko and plants. She kept me updated every check-in with photos. I can't say enough how amazing she is and how well she took care of all my pets and plants. I will definitely be using her services again!”


“Amy went above and beyond to make sure my boys and place were well taken care of. She followed all my instructions and provided me with daily pictures and detailed updates. I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her care. And the boys seemed to love her as well! Thanks Amy :)”


“Jelena dropped in to feed our two cats for a total of 6 visits. She is a great communicator and responded to messages very quickly. Our two cats warmed up to her easily which is rare. She sent multiple daily updates per feeding which really put our minds at ease. I highly recommend her for your pets!”


“Brittany makes it easy to go out for the day knowing your pets are in good hands. She sends updates and pictures from the visits so you can feel at ease knowing your furry family members are in great hands.”

About: I have grown up around all types of dogs, and I have an interest in and a love for all animals. I would be willing to do or learn whatever necessary for your pets specific needs. I am a recent graduate of RDP, working full time and looking for activities that get me out of the house and active! I love being around animals and am excited to get to spend time with them before getting my own. I have experience in other peoples homes whether it be past dog sitting or baby sitting, I am comfortable adapting to the animal’s environment. I have experience on and off leash, indoors or outdoors with a fenced yard.

About: I have taken care of 7 of my own pets and many friends/family pets as well. I have dealt with all ages, 3 week old to 17 years old. I'm well versed in feeding and medication schedules. Also have dealt with alot of wound care after surgeries as well. I'm currently between jobs so I have a lot of time to put toward your pet and the attention for seeking for them. I'm honest, reliable, and overall a calm loving person. Dogs and cats are usually instantly my buddies and I will treat and care for them to your preference. I go above and beyond for my pets so for yours I would do the same. I have a large yard, lots of room to run and play. Unfortunately not fully fenced at this moment, but I have a large outdoor kitty/dog pen. I also have retractable tether leash. Since I am off right now the vast majority of my time can be with your pet. I love the outdoors and fixing things, I love walking and river adventures as well as snuggling on the couch with my pets and just enjoying their company.

About: Hello! My name is Beth, I am 33 years old and animals are what bring me the most amount of joy in this world! I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and I always put their needs and well-being ahead of my own. I have previous professional experience working for two separate animal care companies, managing a pet store, and working for a pet/veterinarian product distribution office. Outside of my professional experience I have rescued and fostered animals my entire life. I have experience with dogs, cats, small animals, horses, sheep… and brothers that could be considered as animals (haha). For dogs, I am comfortable with all breeds/sizes and temperaments. I have experience in the following areas: • Extensive knowledge with pet health and dietary needs • Extensive knowledge in pet behaviour • Administering medication • Working with and loving reactive/fearful dogs • Puppy / kitten care • Senior dog and cat care • Working with other “high needs” animals who may have disabilities or medical requirements I am happy to continue working on training and keeping your pet(s) routines as close to normal as possible. I am very perceptive to your pet(s) needs and my calm energy helps nervous pets to relax. I will make sure they are being smothered with love and having fun. If they require play time and walks, you got it! If they prefer to be a couch-potato, well then... I am now a couch-potato too! Pass me the popcorn! My schedule is wide open as I am a stay at home mom. My partner works 100% remote and can watch our son while I pop over to take care of your furry little loves. While in your home I will treat it with the utmost care and respect. I will ensure to keep your house clean and safe. I am able to water plants, bring in the mail, take out the garbage, take care of small critters and more. The last thing anyone needs after time away is to come home to more work! If I have missed anything, please do not hesitate to message me. I am happy to go through any questions or concerns that you may have. I hope to hear from you! I am a stay at home mom, and my partner works from home. I have a very flexible schedule as my partner can watch our little one while I pop over to take care of your fur-baby! I leave every home the way I find it and I always triple check the doors and windows before leaving. I follow all pet care and home care instructions with care and love.

About: I'm an established, mature lady who works from a home office. I have excellent communication and English skills. Upon growing up surrounded with pets of all sorts, I've become a natural 'pet nanny'. My social demeanor is quiet, very calm and animals usually connect with me well. I live on South Hill, in Red deer which is close to downtown. I also have clients in Calgary. Able to do house-checks throughout Red deer and surrounding areas. Overnights or daytime drop-in visits possible. High needs and geriatric care pets may require individualized rates. I've also done professional property management roles so am very aware of taking professional care of residential homes as well. Able to provide many great references! Can provide basic gardening, lawn care, snow shovelling, etc for additional fee. I work from home and am flexible to book around your scheduling requests. I have good professional references, my own vehicle and am also willing to do light housekeeping, yard or plant care, automotive errands and pet grooming appointments for additional fee. I take time to gently understand the nature and characteristics of your pet. Then hope to gain their trust to be the best nanny I can for them. I do require up-to-date vaccination information for new clients - for your pets safety as well as other pets I care for!

About: I’ve been looking after dogs for my whole life including my own two dogs as well as volunteering at fostering hope by walking dogs and fostering puppies. I’m currently on summer break from college so I’m very available and flexible to work with. I coach soccer twice a week and play rugby on the same night so I am available for drop ins and overnights anytime of the week I have a senior dog at my house right now who I take for daily walks even if she doesn’t make it far she has her own stroller and enjoys being outside

This was the first time I have used Rover. I met with Brandi at my house and she was introduced to my cats. When I was away I received updates with pictures on a daily basis, which was great. It put my mind at ease knowing that my cats were taken care of. Brandi did a great job and I thank her for that, I would definitely use this service again.
