First of all, I will start off by saying that I would recommend Red Rover to anyone. I could tell as soon as I got home that our cats were well taken care of. The visit reports were informative and hilarious. How Tammy described their behaviour is exactly how they normally act so we know they were well cared for. Tammy’s affection for animals is evident in their reaction to her. We really appreciate her service and kindness to our pets.
Randy N.
Tammy- we feel SO fortunate that we have found you! Your love of animals is very evident and it is so refreshing to see your commitment to doing a great job! In spite of the fact that you weren’t feeling well, you did MORE than we could have hoped for. The puppies and kittens were all calm and contented when we returned and everything was in “top notch” shape. Thanks so much! We look forward to many more visits.
Nancy M.
Thank-you so much for the fantastic job. We loved the daily report! We felt very comfortable having our cat Tam in your care. We very much appreciate your professionalism and organization!!
Great job
Will definitely use Red Rover again!
Brandy & Lyle G.
Red Rover Pet Care helped us out of a difficult situation. On short notice they came and met and pet sat our two very spoiled dogs. At first the dogs were a little nervous and skittish but Tammy’s patience and love of animals made them feel secure and safe and they warmed up to her very quickly. Dogs were well looked after and we felt the people at Red Rover understand and did not judge our over protective relationship with our best friends.
Rick M.
Thank-you so much for coming in! You were understanding and accommodating for our holiday. I was happy with the feedback. It made me comfortable to know Azreal was playful and not really aggressive with you. She must really like you! We will definitely be calling you again. Thanks! Also, thanks for handling our sick fish, it is never easy. We are grateful!
Brett & Danielle S.
I was very pleased with the services provided by Tammy. Yoshi & Bun Bun were well cared for, fat and happy when we returned home – Our cat Yoshi is very cuddly and loves human contact and Tammy was very good about spending some time with him. For that extra bit of attention I am grateful. Bun Bun was grateful for his food dish being full and water bottle and clean litter! (She did a better job then I do some days – so I am sure he was happy!) I was very confident in leaving things in her hands because of Tammy’s very professional and confident manner.
Thanks again Tammy

After suffering a family tragedy, we required a pet sitting service immediately. I contacted Red Rover Pet Care Services & left a brief message explaining the situation. Tammy responded back immediately, and scheduled an initial meeting to explain the services, documentation, costs etc.. After meeting Tammy, both my wife & myself knew straight away that our cats, Maddie & Sam would have excellent care.
We had to use Red Rover Pet Care Services twice in December 2007, I was thrilled that Tammy was able to accommodate my needs at such short notice, especially over the holiday period. On both occasions we have been confident while away that our pets were safe, our home was checked daily & on return we’ve found both cats happy & healthy in their own environment.
Excellent professional local service, Red Rover Pet Care will be used again & again in the future by our family.
Brian G.
We received above our expectations. Red Rover provided pet care plus – our animals were in fabulous shape on our return. The animal messes were cleaned up (even though we told them to ignore them), and their notes gave us a great window on what happened when we were away.
When our travel plans unexpectedly changed, Red Rover was able to accommodate us with no problem. Our cats miss the special attention Red Rover gave them, and they are the real customers. I have no problem recommending Red Rover to anyone, and have already done so to my co-workers.
Mike F. & Olga T.
We were extremely impressed with quality of care and attention our pets (cat, dog, and fish) received. They were given the attention of a person who definitely loves animals. This is not just a pet care company, they are missionaries! Thanks for such a fantastic job. The journal was brilliant.
Bob W.
We want to thank you for the excellent care and attention you provided for our 2 cats while we were away. This was our first experience using a “pet sitter” and we can say that we will not hesitate to call you whenever we leave town! The detailed notes you left at each visit were reassuring when we returned home. We will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in the future! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Our girls look to Tammy and Don very quickly and love their daily walks. Tammy and Don have been very professional from the start and we trust them very much. They go above and beyond with our girls and make pet care and service their #1 priority. I would recommend them to anyone.
David & Susan W.
We used Red Rover Pet Care March 20-28 for the care of our cats. Our cats were very well taken care of and spoiled by Tammy & Don. They were so accommodating with such a busy time of year. We highly recommend their services to everyone. Thank-you so much.
Eileen & Dave M.
Tammy was awesome. We gave her pretty short notice and she delivered. The interview process was great. It was thorough, but got to know a lot about our cat. Our cat does not really like people,... but she had an interest in Tammy. I think this is a great service they offer. I would never select anyone else to watch our cat, during vacations. There are many other companies out there... trust me, they do not deliver!
Glen & Lynda T.
Being from a smaller center and fairly new to the city I was apprehensive about having someone come into my home when we brought home a pup. However, I have had nothing but positive experiences with Red Rover Pet Care – a professional and caring pet service that I am thankful for. Tammy goes above and beyond to ensure our dog receives the care and attention she needs during her mid-day visits. She follows our instructions to a “T” and has made our training process even better by practicing the same commands on her visits. We plan to continue using Red Rover Pet Care and can highly recommend to others looking for similar service. I know Molly enjoys her tummy rubs (from Tammy!) as much as I enjoy having the piece of mind that someone trustworthy and professional is visiting our pup during the day!
Raegan S.
We would highly recommend Red Rover Pet Care. Tammy attended our first meeting thoroughly prepared and had all the requirements we were hoping for in a dog-walker. She is reliable and clearly takes great care and pride in her work, and our poodles adore her.
Elizabeth C-C
Tammy has been very good with our girl. As specific as we’ve been with the commands and instructions, Tammy has been great about all of them. We’ve noticed significant improvement on our walks, and I think Tammy is a big reason for it. Her extensive notes every day not only illustrate her thoroughness but her attention to detail and care that she puts into the time spent with our dog. Nothing but good things to say about Red Rover.
Andy & Laura N.
We really appreciate the diligent help with Gypsy. We were able to go away knowing that there was someone there that cares!
Christina K.
To whom it may concern;
I used Red Rover Pet Care from August 26 to August 30, 2007. My experience with the company, and with Tammy Godfrey was completely positive. She is very professional, and took every step necessary to ensure that my cat was well taken care of in my absence. I will definitely be using this company again for my next vacation, without any hesitation! Regards,
Colleen B.
When we were invited to a family wedding that was out of town we were delighted but worried about taking our beloved Gracie to a kennel. Having remembered talking to Tammy at Red Rover I contacted her to book their service. Gracie & our family were pleased with the service Red Rover provided. It was a pleasure not to subject our aging pet to the confines of a kennel.
Thank-you Tammy and thank-you Red Rover.
Helen N.
My dog Charlie can get very nervous when his regular routine is disrupted. I have left Charlie with friends and a kennel before but each time he has experienced stomach problems due to his nerves. Often he will not eat while we are away but not this time, he ate each meal and suffered no stomach troubles, which tells me he was very comfortable with Tammy. Tammy also made ME feel comfortable that I was leaving Charlie in good hands and I could enjoy my time away. I would not hesitate to recommend Red Rover to anyone and have in fact started to spread the word.

Dear Tammy
We would like to thank you for the exceptional care that you performed for our guinea pigs. We were pleasantly surprised to find that you had not only cared for them each day but you had also left a written report for each day's progress. We are so happy we found Red Rover Pet Care and we will definitely request your services again.
Marty and Karen A
It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of reference for Mrs. Tammy Godfray. We began using Tammy’s services in July 2004 to look after our family cat Coal and our dwarf rabbit Drizzle while we were on vacation for a 3 week period. Following our return, it was obvious our pets were well cared for and given plenty of attention. Our cat, who doesn’t normally take to others, was very affectionate towards Tammy upon our return which was a direct reflection of the time and attention spent with Coal during our absence. We have since used Tammy’s services on many occasions and have been completely satisfied upon each return. Tammy is a model pet caregiver and I would recommend her services to anyone in need of the services she has to offer.
Sincerely,
Joe M.
Tammy provided excellent care for our two senior (very spoiled) cats. They honestly looked happier than before we left! I felt especially secure knowing she would be there twice a day (I used a service that would only come once a day for cats). I actually think they had their own little vacation while we were away. I would not hesitate to use Red Rover Pet Care again, nor would I hesitate to recommend them to friends. I am very pleased to have found such an excellent service.
Thanks again from all of us.

To Whom it May Concern,
Hello. My name is Steve Jenkins, and I have recently used Red Rover Pet Care's services to watch over my two dogs and cat while I was away for two weeks getting married. Prior to meeting Tammy, my wife Janine and I have been pulling our hair out trying to find someone appropriate for the job. These days in Calgary, it is hard to find friends, family or anyone else who can visit your home on a regular basis to give your pets the love and care they need. However, Tammy Godfray and Red Rover Pet Care were the perfect solution for us, and I would recommend their services to anyone in a similar situation. Red Rover is a thorough, well educated, caring and flexible service that in my experience went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure our dogs, Bunky and Sophie, AND our cat, Homer was doing okay. Also, Tammy was reachable at ANY time, so that we could reach her when needed to check in. She also took the time to call us to keep us informed from time to time. So, in closing, Red Rover Pet Care is an impeccable service, and I will be sure to contact Tammy the next time I am out of town. I urge anyone else to as well.
Steve and Janine J.
I have been very pleased with the service I have received from Don & Tammy. My initial inquiry was responded to very promptly, and the business is run very professionally. Thus far, Don has been extremely reliable & helpful never missing a day, and is always available to answer questions or provide assistance. This service has given me great peace of mind, as I know our puppy is in great hands. I fully intend on continuing this service & even expanding it in the future as our puppy grows. I would definitely recommend Don & Tammy’s services.
Carol C.
I love the service, Tammy is great, my dogs were happy – what more can I ask for. I am going to Chicago in December for a couple of days and I would not call anyone else.

To Whom It May Concern:
The Godfrays watched over our pets and our property on numerous occasions over the last 7 years that we lived in South Calgary. Their care and diligence exceeded our expectations in every capacity. We have three cats and were lucky enough to have the Godfrays look after them in our home during our somewhat frequent vacations. Over these week-long absences Don and Tammy would visit our home to feed our cats, clean the litter boxes and brush and even play with them, giving them the much needed human attention that these otherwise independent animals miss so much when we are gone. The Godfrays would also collect our mail, tend to the yard, and ensure our property did not look vacant (flyers taken inside, different lights on/off, blinds up/down, etc). It was so nice to travel with the peace of mind knowing that our pets, property and possessions were being cared for. Most recently we moved out of province and had to count on Don and Tammy to look after our home in Calgary, which remained vacant for a month before the new owners took possession. Once again, it was very reassuring to know the Godfrays were stopping by to look after our home. Knowing they were there to shovel the driveway, collect the mail and ensure the property remained secure was a load off our minds since we were two provinces away. They went above and beyond the call of duty and even took digital photographs of our final utility meter readings for us. The Godfrays are animal lovers who are responsible and dependable and allowed us the privilege of leaving our home without worrying about the well being of our cherished pets and our valuable property. Boarding kennels and pet resorts are stressful for pets, expensive, and can be even be a source of illness. It was super to travel with the peace of mind that our pets were safe and happy in our home. I would not hesitate to count on Don and Tammy again in the future and I would highly recommend them to anybody. They are great people offering a great service.
Sincerely,
Paul P.
It has been a real treat having Tammy walk our dogs for the past few months. She is extremely professional and the dogs are always happy to see her. They have even become better behaved on their leashes as a result! We look forward to having Red Rover take care of our dogs, cats, and house this summer. Thanks again Tammy!
Amy B. & Gina O.
Felt very comfortable leaving Missy & Dakota in Don’s care. Thanks so much!
Debbie T.
You were very accommodating on such short notice, and tried to meet our needs as best possible. Tammy & Don were great to work with and the communication with them was easy. Our pet was happy when we arrived home, and it was great to have him be able to stay in his own environment. Kate left us a great report on what took place, and was kind enough to accommodate Rigid and let him sleep with her. It was nice to read such a detailed letter.
We are looking forward to using your services in the future. Thank-you.
Stacy V.
Tammy was recommended to me by the ex-owner of The Pet Stop where I buy treats for my dogs and who’s also a dog’s instructor and very serious, so I trusted he knew what he was talking about when he recommended her. And I could not be happier. She’s great with my ‘girls’, they love her and I can trust them to her completely. She’s very reliable, always follow instructions and is highly committed to my dogs’ well being. We have travelled and left the girls to her care and so our house and when we come back it’s as if we have never left! The girls are happy! And in good shape and much less stressed (if at all) than when they used to stay in kennels. Now Tammy’s husband, Don, has joint her in the business and he’s got the same loving , caring, nature towards my girls that I see in Tammy. They certainly make a great couple and a great Team!
Ana G.
We are very pleased and happy with the high level of professional + quality pet care. It gave us a high peace of mind while we were away, knowing that Scooter and Alice were being taken care of by thorough, responsible and reliable people! Tammy & Don demonstrate the highest standards with their pet care, professionalism, enthusiasm, and are pleasant to deal with.
Dayle & Bruce D.
Thank you for your excellent work! I have told my neighbours about you as well as the vet.
Un-named for privacy.
Words cannot adequately express how grateful I am for Red Rover’s services, and the care Tammy puts into looking after my little girl (cat) Socket. I enlisted the services of Red Rover after having to go out of town on business. I did not worry once about how Socket was doing because I knew she was in the best of hands with Tammy. From the first time I spoke to Tammy, I knew Socket would be well looked after. Upon returning home, it was like I had never left. Socket appeared happy & her normal self. I loved reading Tammy’s daily journals to see how Socket behaved while I was gone. Tammy’s knowledge & compassion go above and beyond. I will recommend her services to anyone who requires them and I’ve already booked her services for future trips. Thank-you Tammy for looking after my little one, and big kisses from Socket.
Trisha G. & Socket
I was extremely pleased with Red Rover Pet Care; from the very beginning Tammy displayed a level of professionalism and dedication that immediately put my mind at ease. She genuinely cares about our cats and made sure all their needs were met while we were away. We will definitely be using Red Rover services again – they provide outstanding care!!!
Here are a few things we especially appreciated:
-prompt response to our initial inquiry regarding availability
-thorough in-home meeting to introduce our 3 cats and to discuss Red Rover services and our requirements.
-easy payment options and reasonable rates
-lots of loving care for our cats
-no problems regarding our cats medication and special diet requirements
-detailed log of events while we were away
Most importantly – The cats were happy, healthy and well cared for.
I recommend Red Rover Pet Care to anyone looking for professional, top-notch service!
Nicole C.
Tammy & Don are wonderful people who love animals. They rescued me with their services after an accident. They are wonderful people who made my 2 dogs very happy. (As well as the rest of the family!)
Judy B.
Red Rover Pet Care is an excellent service. We went away on a long weekend, and they were able to come to our house twice every day to feed our cat. A journal was kept providing information about feedings and litter box cleaning, which I was very pleased about. Time was even taken to clean the dish my cat eats off of. I would recommend their services anytime.
Angela W.
We used Red Rover for 10 wks. while my wife was out of town and found the standard of pet care for our dog Tiber was great. Tiber was clean, and so was our house, when I returned from work each day. This included snowy and rainy days as well as sunny ones. More important, Tiber was calm and relaxed and obviously developed a real bond with Don, our walker.
James S.
I used Red Rover Pet Care for the first time on June 20-22, 2008 and found out they are wonderful. They did everything asked of them regarding my cats, Emma and Archie. I will certainly use this pet service again and I would recommend them highly.
Thanks again for taking such good care of my cats.
Val C.
Thank-you Don! Karma is your friend for life now, she loved her walks and getting the extra attention. It was obvious when she saw you that she was so excited. I think she will really miss seeing your truck pull into the driveway. Walks with mum will be boring! You were so good to her and really cared, which makes all of the difference. She probably wants us to go away again so you will come back! Thanks again for the unbelievable service and for loving our Karma!
Cheers!
Rona K.
While we were far away from home in Europe. I was very pleased to receive word from family that Mac was happy and actually “excited” with his daily walks. The daily reports indicated Mac was well cared for and happy during the day.
It was a great relief to not have to worry when you are that far from home.
Thanks very much
Barb U.
Tammy and Don of Red Rover Pet Care have been a great addition to our family. They give personalized attention to our four legged family member and go the extra mile in their care giving. It is a great comfort to know that Chou Chou receices such great care and loving attention while we are away. They take the time to leave us details of their visits with her and the pictures are an added extra touch that say they care!!

Re: Tammy and Don Godfray
Red Rover Pet Care
Tammy and Don have given us the peace of mind we need to ensure our best friend is looked after when we are away during the day. When we interviewed Red Rover, they were methodical in understanding our dog’s needs and have respected all of our requests. They are upfront in terms of how much time is actually spent with Franklin, our three year old Westie dog, versus how much time he spends riding around in the vehicle going on dog walk’s. Their personalized pet service is exceptional!
Their communication is thorough and they return our telephone calls promptly. We would recommend Red Rover Pet Care to anyone looking for outstanding pet care.Sincerely,
Debbie, Chris and Franklin
I have been impressed with the caring way in which Red Rover (Tammy) has taken care of our dogs. She goes the “extra mile” whenever it’s needed. I look forward to using their services again in the future.
Mike R.
I found myself in need of a pet sitting service after my cat had a recent diabetes episode. When it first happened I didn’t know if I would be able to travel any more. Thankfully my kitty had transient diabetes and its gone away. As a result of it though she is now on soft food twice a day. Asking friends to visit your house twice a day every day when you are away is difficult so I asked my vets office (Dr. Biernacki – Canyon Meadows) if they had any companies to refer. I was given Red Rover’s contact info and told that they have heard nothing but good comments on their service. I am very happy that I chose Red Rover. From what I’ve seen, they are a very professional company. I was impressed with their webpage and the documentation given during our first meeting. Tammy was very personable and her personality showed she genuinely cared about each pet she worked with. I know I will use their services again. I also have comfort in knowing they can & will administer medication or needles if required in case I am faced with that situation again. I would not hesitate to recommend Red Rover to friends.

Tammy & Don,
Following a sudden family tragedy, we found ourselves without anyone willing or able to take on the seemingly big task of ‘sitting’ our 2 dogs, Sophia & Buster. With kennelling/boarding not being an option for us, we were/are truly thankful for your flexibility in taking us on as clients on short notice and appreciate your willingness and desire to accommodate us.
Tammy, it was evident during our initial meeting that you were very comfortable dogs – and even better, that our dogs were very comfortable with you. Leaving our dogs is never easy for us, but after our meeting, we had no reservations about going away and leaving our dogs in your care, as we were confident that they were in good hands and would receive lots of love and attention. We have used your services twice now, in June & July 2008, for periods of 2-3 days. During these times, the dogs have been visited by both you and Don, and aside from loving the daily reports you provided, what was most rewarding was seeing how content our dogs were when we returned home. They often do not eat their food when we are away from home, but with you and Don, they actually ate!
We are so happy to have found you! We look forward, as do Sophia & Buster, to using your services again for an upcoming extended period. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone - and in fact already have!
Amelie & Derek C.
