“My baby came home so tired, loved, and happy! We got regular updates and so many photos. I didn’t have to worry for a second. It was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be using Stacey’s services again.”
“We have brought our dog to Tracy and Christopher many times and they treat her like their own! Would 10/10 recommend bringing your pets to this lovely family!”
“Katrina and Ryan really stepped up and took incredible care of Odin while we had to be away for a long weekend. After a very positive and relaxed meet and greet with their dog, we agreed it was the perfect fit for everyone. Dropping off and picking up was totally smooth, and we got multiple daily update photos that really helped keep us at ease while being seperated from our pup. It was clear that Odin was lavished with affection and cared for as if he was their very own pup. I would not hesitate to recommend Katrina and Ryan to anyone looking for top shelf service for their loved one.”
“Ronilyn was able to provide boarding for our 2 dogs with super short notice after our house sitter cancelled the day before our weekend getaway. This was the first time our girls stayed with someone who wasn’t family or a friend, and Ronilyn made sure we were 100% comfortable with our choice! She sent us pictures of our girls playing and having a good time while we were away.”
“She was a wonderful sitter for my Willow and it looks like she was well taken care of! Hopefully in the future I can bring my kitty back to visit her kitties!! 100000/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Oliver stayed with Ana for two days/one night while i was away for work. I received many photo and video check ins from Ana throughout his stay which made me feel less nervous about leaving him with a new person. Oliver had a great time with Ana and I will definitely book with her again!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our little Happy with Marilyn. We received frequent updates and pictures and it seems they both got along well. Happy is looking forward to many more stays in Marilyn‘s home.”
“Katelyn and her family made my little guy feel right at home, communication was great, she sent photos abd provided updates if I needed. I would definitely rebook another time. 😊”
“Jessica was really great. Our dog got multiple trips to the dog park and walks. I got lots of updates, which provided a lot of comfort since she was a new sitter. Our dog had lots of opportunities to cuddle with Jessica, too. I’d recommend and will use again.”
“Holli was so wonderful with my 10-year-old rescue dog Cubby! We had a lovely meet and greet, and I booked for one overnight before I will be away for a week as my pup is older and a bit sensitive. Will be booking with her again asap! She has an amazing fenced in yard, sent great updates, and administered my dog's meds. Was looking for a boarder who would be home a lot and had calm, caring energy - and Holli was the perfect fit. Cubby was happy as a clam when I picked her up :)”
“Nina and Gordon were great!!! I have not left my two dogs with anyone other than family. This was all new to me. They allowed me to come over with the dogs for a meet and greet before booking. They just spent their first night away yesterday and it went very well. I could definitely tell my dogs were taken care of. The updates and photos were an added bonus for me which was much appreciated. Booking again for sure !!!”
“Renee and her dog Piper were wonderful! I have a nervous and shy dog but within a few hours my dog was already playing with Piper. That is a testament to the safe and calm environment that Renee and Piper have created in their home. I will definitely be asking Renee to look after my dog again 😊”
“We just tried rover for the first time as we were going out of town last minute and Jenna was able to take monkey in for the weekend last minute for us so we were grateful ! She updated us with photos and videos where he had a big yard to run around and sniff in and make friends with her dog as well . We definitely felt our fur baby was in good hands and had a worry free trip thanks to her . When we came back he was very relaxed and happy as he had lots of time to run out his energy as he’s a very hyper dog . We will definitely be booking with her again from our good experience and would recommend her . Thankyou !☺️”
“Linda pays high attention to detail and very willing to learn the small quirks about your pet! She had her house set up with toys, blankets, and really made an effort to welcome my dog in. She provided so many great updates and did more than I asked. Highly recommend, I had no worries.”
“Such a calm and loving environment for our pup. Thank you Vanessa & family for taking such great care of Ringo! We appreciated the many photos and updates while we were apart. Thank you!”
“Sherrie and her family were amazing with our pups. We could sense how comfortable our pups were with them and it was evident how well cared for and loved our pups were, while in their care. During pickup, after their initial excitement of seeing us, our younger pup tried to follow Sherrie back into her home as she went in to get their bag. This is a glowing endorsement for us as he normally sticks to is like glue! Sherrie also provided daily text and/or photo updates which put our minds at ease. This was our first Rover booking and we were unsure of what to expect, but seeing our pups looking so relaxed and happy confirmed that we had found a perfect home/pet sitting family for our pups. We have already booked our second stay with Sherrie and we hope that we she will always be available when we need to book a stay on Rover.”
“Jill looked after my 14 year old senior cat with diabetes and I highly recommend her services. I was super nervous to go out of town because he is insulin dependent and needs injections every 12 hours along with a strict feeding schedule. Jill was happy to accommodate and made me feel at ease while I was away. She kept me updated with photos and messages and it was clear that she was going above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable and at home. I am thrilled with the level of care my old man received and I will definitely be booking with Jill again in the future!”

“Ronilyn was our very first booking through Rover. She made the process easy and I was confident trusting her after meeting the first time. She came to give our cat his insulin shots while we were out of town. She was on time if not early, reported back after every visit and sent us photos which made us at ease. I'd highly recommend booking with Ronilyn, we will be rebooking in the future!”
“This was the first time I've left Bee all by herself and she was well loved and content when I returned. David sent me photos for every check-in and took time to play with her and talk to her. I highly recommend him; he put my mind at ease and I could enjoy my vacation.”
About: I have experience with different animals from small dogs to larger breeds > 100lbs I don’t have any pets of my own but I have volunteered at animal shelters walking dogs and giving pets and cuddles to the cats I enjoy walking in the river valley, checking out new neighbourhoods, hiking, and taking advantage of any opportunity to be around animals I am currently working part-time/ casual so my schedule varies but I mostly work evenings and have mornings and weekends off. If there is a stretch of time that will be needed, I can accommodate if sufficient notice is given I would ensure the dog is given a long/short walk depending on needs, letting out to use the bathroom and routine feeding. Lots of play time with balls or toys Cats- I will cuddle or play with your cat(s), feed if needed, clean litter as well
“Karley was great! It was my first time booking with Rover, and I was slightly nervous. Karley was highly responsive and eased my worries. She also accommodated the booking at the last minute. Although I didn’t have internet connection while away, she sent lovely update photos. It was a pleasure to see them when I got back. I would recommend Karley to anyone!”
“Megan was fantastic! She kept our cat company while we were gone and also kept the plants alive, and fed the fish. She went above and beyond. We had a meet and greet before booking her. She took the time to listen to our 9 year old regarding the care of the cat, which left the little one to be very comfortable leaving our cat behind during our trip. She sent picture updates, and also offered to change the light bulb in our snake tank even tho it wasn't part of her duties as well as a few other things. She is caring and respectful of your place, and we can't wait to use her for our next trip, as she puts our minds at ease when away from the house.”
“Rylyn was perfect throughout. Our outdoor kitties loved her and she handled our inside kitty who is typically reactive and scared of strangers so well. I would definitely recommend her to others and book her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been a cat lover and caregiver since the age of five, and over the years, I’ve cared for my own cats as well as regularly cat-sat for friends and neighbors. I'm comfortable with all the basics—feeding, grooming, litter box cleaning, administering simple medications if needed—and I know how important it is to maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment while you're away. I also genuinely enjoy spending quality time with cats, whether that means interactive play, brushing, or simply sitting nearby while they nap. Your cat’s comfort, routine, and well-being are my top priorities. I’ll make sure they get the love and attention they need while you're gone, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.
“I highly recommend Emily as a pet sitter! She took amazing care of my three cats while I was away for a week. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals. she was so caring, attentive, and reliable throughout. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
About: I was lucky enough to share 15 years with my dog Kaya, raising her from a 2-month-old pup until her final day. I personally trained her, including off-leash walking, and cared for her through every life stage - from the high energy puppy phase to her senior years. I've had dogs in my life since i was very young and I very much enjoy their company - whether its going for long walks or just hanging out at home. I am currently in the process of a career change and am in school full time, working part time and am looking to fill my time with something i love doing! Pet care fits easily into my lifestyle. I’ve recently stepped away from full-time work to focus on full time studies, which means I’m home and available much more often. Currently, I only work weekends on an alternating schedule of days and evenings, leaving me with plenty of open time during the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At my home, pets are welcome to relax with me in the living room or rest in my room if they prefer a quieter space. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I can make up for it with plenty of outdoor time. I live close to the river valley walking trails and nearby dog parks. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether that means structured walks, supervised play, or quiet downtime. I take precautions to ensure pets are never left unsupervised in unsafe situations, and I’m committed to keeping them on their regular feeding, exercise, and care routines. For clients who prefer care in their own home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely to make sure your pet feels secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. Building trust—both with pets and their people—is at the heart of how I provide care.
About: I will be honest and never really gave cats a chance, was always a dog person but the years of cat sitting I have done, changed my tune. Also cats gravitate to me, always and it’s the sweetest love
About: Having owned two wonderful dogs in my life and been a special friend & "aunt" of several other dogs and some cats. I am highly experienced and motivated to help you care for your beloved furry family members. I am warm, friendly and calm around animals and I find they are naturally drawn to me. I am trained in reiki and use gental reiki energy to balance and relax your pets in your absence. I do contract work and I am writing a book, so my time is flexible and I am available to spend quality time with your pets. As a sitter who would be in your home, caring for your pets, I would be able to follow your established schedule in order to cause the least distress and or disruption for your pets.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I feel very comfortable with them both and I’ve helped friends and family care for both. Love them and enjoy being with them. I am currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to play and entertain your cats/dogs at a time and day that’s best for you and your pet. I unfortunately do not do house sitting at my home, but I am happy to come to your home and care for your fur babies there.
About: 🐾 Availability Update Summer 2026 is fully booked. I am now accepting bookings for the Christmas holidays, but availability is limited and filling quickly. I’ve been providing professional pet care for over three years and have been fortunate to build lasting relationships with many wonderful clients and their pets. I intentionally keep my client list small so I can provide attentive, personalized care and build genuine bonds with every animal I look after. I’m excited to welcome a few new pets and families into my routine and look forward to meeting you and your furry companions! 🐶🐱❤️ I work full-time Monday through Friday; however, my weekends are fully open and I always prioritize my pet clients’ schedules. I’m experienced in coordinating care around varying routines and am happy to work together to find what best suits your pet’s needs. For the comfort and consistency of the pets I care for, I primarily provide overnight care in my clients’ homes. This allows pets to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their regular routines. I’m not offering boarding at this time, though this may change around November 2026.

“My dogs spent the day with Ronilyn as a trial for boarding. My little dog can be quite nervous but within a few minutes she warmed right up! I now feel at ease going away knowing they will both be in great hands! Loved that she sent pictures of them throughout the day. I would definitely recommend Ronilyn.”
“Ashely was so friendly. I felt extremely comfortable leaving Massey with her and the other dogs. I feel Massey had a good time playing with the other dogs as she was tired and relaxed when we got home. Will absolutely use and recommend Ashely”
About: I’m known as the go to dog sitter among my friends and coworkers! I love having another personality around the house and my two dogs love it too! My dogs are westie and a blue heeler, so I have some experience with working and high energy breeds! We have tons of walking paths around, river access and a dog park nearby. I’m confident with crates/kennels and giving meds. I have quite a bit of free time and when I do work, I can stop at home for an extra potty break mid shift to make sure all is well My own dogs are crate trained and I prioritize some on and off leash time daily. My boys love frisbee and fetch in the fully fenced back yard and we make time for a few dogsports too!Both are super social with other dogs, we have many adventures camping and meeting with friends.

I have looked after puppies to seniors and all the in between I look after animals all day, everyday! I have two boys, 10 and 8 who absolutely love helping me on weekends to look after the fur babies.

“Linda was amazing! She offered a meet and greet for our golden retriever puppy and noted our dogs needs. She gave regular updates and even sent cute videos and pictures of our dog! Overall it was great communicating with her.”
About: I’ve always lived with a dog, and have experience with every size pup. I have watched friends pups for years as well. We have 2 kids in the house who are more than excited to help out! I work full time away from home, but my spouse works from home, so someone is always around to be with your dog. We are home on weekends, and evenings. I have a fully fenced in yard. If I’m sitting other pets at the time (with approval from both pet owners), we can separate them to give breaks if required, as we have levels in our house to split them apart. Your dog will be walked 1-2 or more times a day, in the morning and evening minimum. If your dog does well off leash, playing fetch in the green field is also an option. We also like to explore Edmonton in the wetlands and enjoy longer walks on weekends.
“I would surely recommend Jeremy for dog sitting. He constantly provide updates and photos that gives me so much comfort and joy that my georgina is being well taken cared of. Upon picking up my dog, i can see that she is happy and very comfortable with Jeremy. This is absolutely a good sign that my dog had a great time at his place. Will surely re-book with Jeremy soon!”
“Thank you Robyn and family. ( Robyn fit us in last minute ). Huxley had a wonderful time staying with you for the day. He came home happy, tired and very relaxed. Always great signs. 😊”

“Ana is a complete lifesaver. We had major renovations start in our home earlier than expected and my dog is 14 years old this month. No way I could leave hom at home with strangers making sounds at all hours of the day! She was able to take him in last minute, and provided many updates, photos, and videos throughout the day. Honestly, he is so excited to go he screams when he knows we are almost there. She takes better care of him that I probably do. I highly recommend Ana. She is really nice, takes great care of animals, and clearly loves them. Even my old mop of a boy.”
“Lynette is awesome with my mini dachshund, Frank. He is high anxiety, has some medical issues and elderly. She is very calm, careful and loving with him. He is new to being with her and other dogs so he is slow to warm but his 2 visits went very well.”
“Zoey and Scooter had great care. This is the first time we have used a day home and it was a great experience. They were able to accommodate our short notice so we could both attend an out of town funeral. They have a beautiful yard to play in. If we need their service again we will definitely book with them again. Thanks Gordon and Nina.”

“Ronilyn always communicates quickly and kindly - and she takes the best photos of my dog playing fetch! Very reliable and clearly passionate about caring for fur babies.”
About: I am a new stay at home mom that is used to caring for my children with paws and still learning the tricks to the one with toes. While I love all animals, the big slobbery ones have my heart wrapped around their drool and my big senior (7 yr Great Dane/Mastiff) guy knows it. Our little girl is actually a 120 lb mastiff/pitty cross that just turned 4 and they both love their littlest brothers (an April Fools baby and a 3 lb kitten, both of whom run the house). Killer the cat is actually a big ball of scaredy cat and Mr Fishy the Beta finishes off the attendance list. I would love to meet and care for your family members with fur as well! I am currently on maternity leave and am looking to get out of the house and get some exercise. I am confident in walking large dogs but will have my baby and stroller with me so I ask for pups that won’t pull too much. Since I have a small baby and 4 animals of my own I am not able to stay overnight but can check in any day or time. Having two extra large dogs of my own, I am confident in walking your pup and am familiar in crate training as well. I believe in force free training and can follow your lead to reinforce training and obedience into our walks and visits as well. I strongly follow the idea that trust is the best form of leadership with animals and people.
About: I have a dog myself and I love taking him on walks and playing with him outside. I think all dogs should have the chance the explore the outside world and I am here to make that happen. I am currently working from home, so I am available to take care of your pets anytime. From walking your dogs to simple cat visit to make them feel loved while their owner is way. I am willing to spend good quality time with your pets while you are away on vacation or on work trips. From giving them food and water, to playing with or simply give them some nice warm cuddles.
“We have used Cari many times for help during the day when my husband is away and she’s always fantastic. We often have last minute bookings and she’s proven reliable and flexible with us, it’s very appreciated. We have two large dogs (230lbs combined) and are always confident that she is capable of providing care for them in terms of walks, plays and love. They definitely miss her when the need ends for her service. 10/10 always reccomend.”
“Janessa was very accommodating for anything I needed with my dog Blais. She walked her two times a day and even helped with her treatments for her osteoarthritis. Janessa came over for a meet and greet first and Blais instantly adored her! I will definitely hire Janessa for her services again in the future!”
“Zenna has been great with Hank! It is clear she has experience dealing with dogs and using positive reinforcement for improving leash skills. Hank loves spending time with Zenna and always looks forward to seeing her!”
“Dottie the Shepherd mix LOVED Sara and was so excited to see her every day. Sara was prompt and took Dottie for walks on familiar territory in our neighborhood. Will definitely use Sara again in the future!”
“Emily has been an awesome sitter for our dog Epi and cat Pepper. Epi is incredibly timid and fearful which sometimes comes across as scary. Emily has practiced a lot of patience to get to know Epi better and continued to persevere. Emily went above and beyond to find the best strategies to bond with Epi. Emily and Epi are now able to go for long walks and plays together and we are so thankful to have her looking after our fur children. Thank you Emily!”
About: I’m a reliable and compassionate pet caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for my own animals, along with professional experience working in an animal hospital. This has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety, as well as the ability to stay calm and attentive in any situation. I treat every pet as if they were my own—making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away I’m currently working part time serving so my schedule is pretty flexible just waiting to go to school in the fall. I’m always able to work around schedules and what works best for the owner. I’m very attentive when it comes to all types of animals. We have a fenced in yard but live on acreage so my pets have a lot of area to run and play but also no chance of them getting lost because they also are trained. I make sure there are no dangerous areas around my home from sharp corners to things on the ground. My dogs constantly have water but are on a strict eating schedule. My cats are fed at all times and also have water at all times. My dogs and cats usually have a goo rotation when it comes to toys I get them ones that won’t harm them if they rip them apart, but if they do I will buy them a new one. I’d say there pretty spoiled animals but when you love them doesn’t seem like work at all.
About: I've been fortunate enough to care for many different animals since I was 12 years old. I've been blessed enough to experience growing up with cats, dogs, peacocks, rabbits, chickens, buggie and many more beautiful and equally unique animals. I'm addition, neighbours, friends and family have relied on me many times to pet sit, walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I'm currently homeschooling my grade 2 kid which usually only takes up 20 to 30 minutes of our day so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your furry or feathered babies. I have fenced yard and a very friendly cat and dog to keep your fur or feathered babies company. Both are very accustomed to growing up around different species of animals we've sat or fostered. My cat has a very large catio he loves to sit in during the day and usually perches himself on his cat castle by the window inside the house for naps or people watching (his favorite thing to do). He loves other animals and is very affectionate and protective towards them, he's a very docile breed and way too friendly for his own good. I do have a crate for dog and spare rooms for cats if a slower introduction is needed. My home is pretty pet friendly and clean and everybody in here will never be short of love, food and affection.
About: A lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for all pets, homes, and farm animals. I’m reliable, have my own transportation, and offer flexible, short-notice availability. I have no problem administering medication or taking the time to work on training. Your furry (or scaly!) companions will be well cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—it’s something I truly enjoy. From walking dogs and feeding animals to providing companionship, I build my schedule around each pet’s needs. I’m flexible and committed to making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need, whether it’s a quick visit or a longer stay. When caring for pets in your home, I stick to their routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and exercise schedules, handle medications or special care, and keep your home clean and secure. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs, from playful puppies to senior or special-needs pets.
About: I’ve had my best friend, Ash, since I was 10. Almost 12, he’s as lively as ever! I had also adopted Dart last year, a 10 year old pointer with anxiety - I have had the privilege of watching him grow and bloom into his instincts and training! I’ve also worked professionally with dogs for over two years and specifically would be tasked to handle dogs with special needs, whether that be behavioural or medical. I can connect with dogs and read them incredibly easy. I’m very patient as well and have no fear when dealing with less trusting or “feistier” dogs. I also understand how busy life can get, especially when unexpected hurdles come your way. I am especially offering services for pet parents who are looking for super last minute help. I’m more than happy to share a more specific version of my availability if you think you’ll need last minute care in the near future. I also especially love senior dogs and can manage their specific health and behavioural needs with ease. :) Hi! I’m a student with two pups of my own. I would love to help others struggling with busy schedules give their pups the best life they deserve! I have pretty open availability, and really only have my own pup’s schedule to work around (which isn’t too hard). Come September, I’ll have a lot of daytime free time and may be able to adjust my schedule for last minute bookings or work out a weekly routine that works for the both of us. I’d be great for last-minute bookings, most especially for dog walking and drop-ins. I am also more than happy to negotiate pricing and cater it to your pups needs! :) ** I will accept short-term boarding under certain circumstances (typically if you’re experiencing an emergencies and need short term pet care ASAP). This is not preferred for me, hence the pricing. I’m very respectful of others spaces and will be able to recognize and learn the routines of your pup pretty quick! Special instructions are no stranger to me, so ask away!! I want to replicate their regular routine as much as possible to cause the least amount of stress :)

I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life, I’ve taken care of their daily needs since I was 10 years old. I make sure to have my schedule fit with letting my dogs out and feeding my animals.

“Alana was able to come on a last minute request which was amazing, and even without having a meet and greet she was able to convince my nervous dog to go for a walk. She spent time earning my dogs trust who is apprehensive of new people. Alana also has experience walking reactive dogs which was a huge plus for me as my dog is reactive on leash. I cannot recommend Alana enough!”

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, routines, medications, or preferences so I can provide the best possible care. I genuinely love animals and would treat your pets as if they were my own. Feel free to message me with any questions or to discuss your pet care needs! 🐶🐱 Your pets’ comfort, happiness, and safety are my top priority! 🐾 I want this to be my full time job so I have open availability to take care of the animals. I want to make this more of a priority and I would take time out of my day working to focus on the animals. I have a passion to give great pet care and services and would do anything for your pets. I do live in a townhouse with others so so I am limited for boarding but I am comfortable to go to other households and stay and take care of the house and if comfortable as long as you need and walk the animals and let them out when I need to.
About: HI HI. 🫀 My name is Kalyna. My pronouns are THEY*/she BUT "she" BELONGS TO ME. USE "THEY" ONLY. I am 26 years old and am continuing on my side hustle of animal care. I am a Woman, Radical Feminist, artist, dancer, bodybuilder, and everything else too. I have been looking after animals for 8 years. I have A TON of extensive experience with older, physically limited dogs as well as young, springy pups. I. LOVE. BULLY. BREEDS. I cannot be intimidated by a Rottie or a Pitbull. I have much personal experience with cats, and I am well rounded with a lot of different personalities in animals. I have dealt with insane wild left turns and circumstances while I am sitting, so I am confident in my ability to deal with crises should they happen. I care about providing meaningful care for your animals. My principles as a WOMAN are steadfast, and that carries into my work. I value integrity, clarity, and authenticity. I am secretly a goof underneath my businesswoman exterior, and that is why animals LOVE me. I have a HEART for animals, through and through. People are hit and miss but as long as I know I have loved an animal-- that is all there is to it.

Otherwise, your spot is forfeited and I will book other clients. I look forward to meeting you and your tiny animal children. xx, KALYNA. My schedule is wide open as of August 2026. I am available for short-term AND long-term stays. I am always willing to sort something out for the right people. I always come to the owner’s home. Animals do better in their own environments and that has been proven to me time and time again throughout my years of sitting.

“Katrina and Ryan really stepped up and took incredible care of Odin while we had to be away for a long weekend. After a very positive and relaxed meet and greet with their dog, we agreed it was the perfect fit for everyone. Dropping off and picking up was totally smooth, and we got multiple daily update photos that really helped keep us at ease while being seperated from our pup. It was clear that Odin was lavished with affection and cared for as if he was their very own pup. I would not hesitate to recommend Katrina and Ryan to anyone looking for top shelf service for their loved one.”
“Ronilyn was able to provide boarding for our 2 dogs with super short notice after our house sitter cancelled the day before our weekend getaway. This was the first time our girls stayed with someone who wasn’t family or a friend, and Ronilyn made sure we were 100% comfortable with our choice! She sent us pictures of our girls playing and having a good time while we were away.”
“Jessica was really great. Our dog got multiple trips to the dog park and walks. I got lots of updates, which provided a lot of comfort since she was a new sitter. Our dog had lots of opportunities to cuddle with Jessica, too. I’d recommend and will use again.”
“Holli was so wonderful with my 10-year-old rescue dog Cubby! We had a lovely meet and greet, and I booked for one overnight before I will be away for a week as my pup is older and a bit sensitive. Will be booking with her again asap! She has an amazing fenced in yard, sent great updates, and administered my dog's meds. Was looking for a boarder who would be home a lot and had calm, caring energy - and Holli was the perfect fit. Cubby was happy as a clam when I picked her up :)”
“We just tried rover for the first time as we were going out of town last minute and Jenna was able to take monkey in for the weekend last minute for us so we were grateful ! She updated us with photos and videos where he had a big yard to run around and sniff in and make friends with her dog as well . We definitely felt our fur baby was in good hands and had a worry free trip thanks to her . When we came back he was very relaxed and happy as he had lots of time to run out his energy as he’s a very hyper dog . We will definitely be booking with her again from our good experience and would recommend her . Thankyou !☺️”
“Linda pays high attention to detail and very willing to learn the small quirks about your pet! She had her house set up with toys, blankets, and really made an effort to welcome my dog in. She provided so many great updates and did more than I asked. Highly recommend, I had no worries.”
“Sherrie and her family were amazing with our pups. We could sense how comfortable our pups were with them and it was evident how well cared for and loved our pups were, while in their care. During pickup, after their initial excitement of seeing us, our younger pup tried to follow Sherrie back into her home as she went in to get their bag. This is a glowing endorsement for us as he normally sticks to is like glue! Sherrie also provided daily text and/or photo updates which put our minds at ease. This was our first Rover booking and we were unsure of what to expect, but seeing our pups looking so relaxed and happy confirmed that we had found a perfect home/pet sitting family for our pups. We have already booked our second stay with Sherrie and we hope that we she will always be available when we need to book a stay on Rover.”
“Jill looked after my 14 year old senior cat with diabetes and I highly recommend her services. I was super nervous to go out of town because he is insulin dependent and needs injections every 12 hours along with a strict feeding schedule. Jill was happy to accommodate and made me feel at ease while I was away. She kept me updated with photos and messages and it was clear that she was going above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable and at home. I am thrilled with the level of care my old man received and I will definitely be booking with Jill again in the future!”
“This was our second stay with Lis, and Buddy came home happy and well cared for, and we always appreciate the updates and pics. Thanks again Lis! We will definitely see you again.”
“Murray and Patricia were great with Murphy. Murphy looked right at home when I picked him up. They were very accommodating when I made a scheduling change. Will go back anytime.”
“Robyn and Chris were amazing! Nero hates smooth floors and they adapted their living room with blankets and beds so he could play “floor is lava” the whole time. He had a blast! Will definitely be back.”
“Lexia was very professional. She genuinely cares for animals. She asked me questions about my dogs autoimmune disease so she would have the proper knowledge that she needed to administer my dogs medication. She sent me pictures of my dog settling in and looking comfortable in her home as well as out for a nice walk on a sunny day. Thank you again, Lexia. We will be looking to book again in the future.”

About: We know firsthand that dogs are family. We cared for our beloved dog for 11 years through two knee surgeries and several other procedures due to genetic health issues, giving her the best care every step of the way. That experience taught us patience, responsibility, and how to recognize when a dog needs extra attention. We provide a calm, loving home, daily walks, plenty of affection, and will follow your dog's routine exactly as you request. We treat every dog like one of our own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. We both work full-time Monday to Friday, so we're best suited for dogs that are comfortable being home alone for up to 8 hours during the workday. Every dog gets a morning walk before we leave, an evening walk when we're home, and lots of love and attention afterward. On weekends we're home most of the day, so your dog will have plenty of companionship, playtime, and cuddles. Your dog's safety and comfort are our top priorities. We'll follow your dog's feeding schedule, medication routine, exercise needs, and any special instructions exactly as requested. We treat every dog like a member of our family and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. We also volunteer with an incredible pet rescue in Edmonton dog sitting for fosters while they wait for their forever home and absolutely love everything about it. All dogs we watch will 100% be treated like royalty 💜 We also have a toy box full of new toys where your incredible pet gets to bring home their favorite toy after their stay 🥰
“Ranjha loved staying with Rufana! For a high energy dog, she made sure he got lots of exercise as well as cuddles! Rufana was consistent with updates which always makes us feel better! Would definitely take Ranjha back.”
