In-Home Pet Care in Calgary

PAWS Pro in-home pet care gives your dog personal attention and a familiar routine while you travel. There are two options: Pet Sitting, where your dog stays in a PAWS Pro's home, and House Sitting, where a PAWS Pro stays in yours. Walks and drop-in visits are available on request — call for pricing.

PAWS Pros are current and former PAWS staff. Both options are available to current PAWS daycare clients whose dog has completed an Intro Day.

Frequently Asked Questions

In-home pet care questions, answered.

What is the difference between pet sitting and house sitting?
With pet sitting, your dog stays in the PAWS Pro's home and comes to daycare during the day. With house sitting, the PAWS Pro stays in your home with your pet. House sitting is ideal for pets who are most comfortable in their own environment, or if you need someone to maintain your home while you're away.
How much does in-home pet care cost in Calgary?
Pet sitting starts at $97 per night + GST, which includes weekday daycare. House sitting adds $15 per night. Volume discounts are available: 10% off for 8+ consecutive nights and 15% off for 16+ nights. View full pricing.
Is in-home pet care better than a kennel?
For most dogs, yes. In-home care provides a calm, familiar environment. Your dog keeps their routine, sleeps comfortably, and gets personal attention from trained PAWS staff. You can ask for the same Pro on future stays, and we do our best to match.
Can PAWS Pros handle dogs with special needs?
Usually, yes. Many PAWS Pros already know your dog from daycare, and they can follow medications and special routines. Behavioural cases and special needs may need a paid trial night first and can carry extra charges.
How do I know which service is right for my pet?
If your pet adapts well to new environments and enjoys socializing, pet sitting at a Pro's home with daycare is ideal. If your pet is anxious in unfamiliar places, a senior, or has medical needs that require their home environment, house sitting is the better choice. Call us and we'll help you decide.
