Pet Sitting with Daycare Included
You want personalized, intimate care for your dog while you travel — and that's exactly what PAWS Pros deliver.
Our pet sitting service is designed to keep your dog comfortable and happy while you're away, by maintaining their routine and providing them with the best possible care.
During the day, your dog will continue to attend our daycare and experience everything it has to offer. They'll go on pack walks, as well as tons of attention and socialization throughout the day. At the end of the day, they'll be picked up by one of our specially trained and trusted pet sitters and go home with them for the night.
Straightforward Rates, Everything Included
Includes Daycare During Weekdays
One nail trim included per stay. Overnight care in a PAWS Pro's home. Direct text/photo updates from your Pro.

New to PAWS Dog Daycare?
New clients must have, at minimum, completed an Intro Day with us before booking a pet sitting stay with a PAWS Pro.
The Intro Day is a free trial day of daycare to see if we are a good fit for you and your dog. Intro Day availability is limited — please give yourself sufficient time.
The Intro Day and your first pet sitting night cannot be the same day. In the case of multi-dog households, this applies to each and every dog.

Why Choose a PAWS Pro for a Pet Sitter
Seniors
Senior dogs may require more care and attention than their younger counterparts, and leaving them in a boarding facility can be stressful and overwhelming for them.
Behavioural Concerns
Your dog may not be accepted into boarding facilities due to various behavioural issues. Even if they are accepted, they may be isolated and not receive the attention they need. Our pet sitters can provide the much needed attention and care, ensuring your dog feels safe and loved while you're away.
Medical Needs
When it comes to dogs with medical conditions, leaving them in a boarding facility may not be the best option. Our pet sitters can provide specialized and personalized care that can help maintain your dog's physical and emotional well-being.

Can I book house sitting if I live far from PAWS?
House sitting is available within 15 minutes of PAWS daycare (1313 16 Ave SW, Calgary) as determined by Google Maps driving directions. If you live outside this radius, please inquire directly. Pet sitting in the Pro's home is also available regardless of your location.
What if I need to extend my trip?
Contact us as soon as possible. We'll do our best to extend your booking with the same PAWS Pro. If they're unavailable for the extra dates, we'll arrange a seamless handoff to another qualified Pro.
