“Carolyn is awesome! She had Jade for 2 nights and took very good care of her. Jade felt at ease and comfortable in her home the moment I dropped her off. Great communication the entire time. Would definitely recommend !”
“Carina was beyond amazing with Fergus! She sent me daily updates along with pictures and videos of him playing and going on a multitude of adventures. I highly recommend her, and will be using her again in the future.”
“Ginette was incredible with our dog Zeus. She was attentive and went above and beyond to take care of him. He had some separation anxiety and she took extra measures to make sure he ate and drank water. She also sent plenty of pictures and responded to any questions I had very promptly. I would highly recommend Ginette to take care of your fur babies anyday and we'll be booking with her again.”

“I am sooooo happy to have found Denise! I have never used a rover before and would go to great lengths to find care for my dog that I felt comfortable with and it’s just a nice feeling to have found someone reliable who my dog loves and I feel happy knowing she’s having a blast when I’m gone. When I dropped my dog off on the last stay, she was soooo happy to see Denise, it definitely reassured me that I’m dropping her off at a safe and happy place :)”
“My dog was at Sarah's once for daycare and when we left him for boarding he was super excited to go there. Sarah sent regular updates and left me at ease, knowing he was being well cared for.”
About: I have been a dog owner for over 20 years. I recently had to let my ole girl pass over the rainbow, such an heartbreaking decision to make. She was happy as the only dog if the house and I had a desire for more happy tails! So I decided to start walking dogs and doing pet visits so that I could fulfill my need for more waggy tails! I do work a local job that runs Monday -Friday, but am done by 3:15. I schedule my walks for 3:15 and after.I do get a 30 min lunch break that I can do washroom breaks for pets if needed. Walks are 30-45 mins. I do have weekends and evenings off, this is where I make the time for pups/cats. I do not tend to bring other dogs to my home, I have done so on occasion but only after my dog has had a chance to meet our new furry visitor. I do dog walks, visits and out door adventures for your pup. I even take some of my 4 legged friends to the back country roads, for that nice open free run!
“This was our first time using Sarah to care for our dog as she was recovering from surgery and we needed someone to be able to follow her medication schedule. Sarah was great, easy to communicate with, and had no problems getting our picky dog to take her pills. Our dog had an amazing time playing with the other dogs and we will definitely be asking Sarah to care for her again in the future.”
“Teaghan was wonderful to chat with leading up to time of drop off - this was just as important for me, as she was genuinely interested in how to keep our dog safe, comfortable and well taken care of. She was even willing to meet before hand to get to meet and greet with our pup as it was our first time using a sitter for our dog. Frequent texts, picture updates and great exercise Completed the care for our dog. I could tell on pick up that our dog wasn’t stressed, nor eager to leave. Would definitely recommend Teaghan for her services and will use her again, myself, for any doggy sitting needs. Great work, keep it up!”
“Alexandra was such a great choice to watch our dog, Joey while we were away for 2 weeks. Her love for animals truly shows when she’s around them. We got multiple updates daily, and she and her partner took Joey on so many adventures! Joey had a bit of a bad belly when he first went with her as this happens when he has a change in environment. Alexandra took extra care and did everything we asked to help him get back on track. It really goes to show how much Joey loved being in her care, because he was genuinely sad when he left. She gave him so many snuggles and she’s even turned him into a morning snuggler with us which was so nice! If you’re looking for someone to take great care of your pup, and go the extra mile, we 10/10 recommend Alexandra!”
“Alexis sat for our two dogs for two nights and they were well taken care of while we were gone. She ensured that they went on their walks, fed, and fully cuddled during their stay! She communicates well and kept us informed with all we needed to know and sent pictures of our pets during our stay. I recommend Alexis to care for your pets’ needs!”
“I highly recommend Janelle! I went away overnight and leaving my fur baby with her made it completely stress and worry free! My dog has a little bit of health issues and she was so understanding and tended to my dog perfectly! Janelle sent lots of updates and photos, it was great!”
“Duke and Lola loved their stay one on one care rather than a group daycare. Cathy-Lea and her husband spoiled them with love and attention highly recommend them. Thank you both for taking such great care of Duke and Lola they can’t wait to visit again ❤️🥰❤️🥰🐾🐾”
“Laura and John took great care of our Jojo and they even took her in on short notice. We have taken her there twice now and both times she had a blast. Even got a bath after digging in the dirt the first time. We will definitely be back. Thanks again for taking Jojo in onsuch short notice.”
“Shelley and her fam were amazing with my guy! He was treated like part of the fam and was comfortable right away! I did not have any anxiety leaving my dog with her! Her home is very dog friendly and my guy had the best time of his life he played so hard and was pooped the whole day once he was home ! Can’t recommend her enough 🤍”

“Sarah has watched my French Bulldog, Honey, multiple times and I can’t recommend her enough! She’s reliable and I trust her having access to my home when I’m not there. Honey is always taken care of and tired out after their walks and drop in visits together. I also appreciate that she always sends a picture of Honey so I know she’s in good hands while I’m out.”
“Tracy was amazing! She sent a lot of pictures so we knew our fur baby was getting the best care possible. Kevin would sure enjoy her company again on our next trip!! Thanks Tracy”

About: About Me My name is Miranda, and I have over 20 years of professional experience working with dogs of many breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My background includes working with rescue dogs from a wide range of situations, with a strong focus on rehabilitation and behavior support. I previously worked as a Canine Behavioural Analyst with the Hamilton–Burlington SPCA, where I was responsible for assessing dogs and determining the most suitable home environment for each individual animal. This experience has given me a strong foundation in understanding canine behavior, stress signals, and individual care needs. I am happy to answer any questions and provide further details. Please feel free to reach out by message or phone. Home Environment Children live in the home and are respectful, calm, and experienced around animals. All interactions with pets are closely supervised, and rough or inappropriate behavior toward animals is not permitted. Maintaining a safe, calm environment for every pet in our care is a top priority. How We Care for Your Pet Dogs Dog Sitting While your dog is staying with us, we aim to replicate the structure and routine of their home as closely as possible. Feeding schedules, walk times, rest periods, and activity levels are customized to suit your dog’s individual needs. This approach helps reduce stress and allows dogs to settle into the new environment quickly and comfortably. Your dog will be cared for as if they were our own, and you will receive regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Special requests and care instructions are always welcome. Drop-In Visits Drop-in visits are ideal for short trips, busy days, or when your pet simply needs some extra attention. These visits take place in your home, allowing your pet to remain in a familiar environment. Services include feeding, backyard bathroom breaks, and plenty of affection and companionship. Dog Walks Perfect for busy but responsible pet owners. Walks are approximately 30 minutes in your local neighbourhood and provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation for your dog. Cats Cats are cared for exclusively in their own home. This allows them to maintain their normal routine with minimal disruption. Visits are customized to your cat’s needs and can include feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, with flexible availability and a focus on afternoons for walks, drop-in visits, and in-home care. This allows me to provide calm, attentive, and unrushed care while keeping pets on a consistent routine so they feel safe and comfortable. Care is tailored to each pet and the specific service being provided. For dog walks, I focus on safe, structured walks that suit the dog’s energy level and comfort, providing both physical exercise and mental stimulation. For drop-in visits with dogs and cats, care takes place in the pet’s home to maintain their normal routine. Visits include feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, basic cleanup as needed, companionship, and affection. I always prioritize calm, respectful handling and closely follow any instructions provided to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for
About: Hey! My name is Jenna and I’ve owned and looked after pets for pretty much my entire life! I’ve had dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits, and hamsters. You name it I’ve probably owned one at some point in my life and if I didn’t, then I probably wanted to! I have also been working with a dog and cat rescue for the better part of the last 12 years so I am well experienced in animals that may have some “quirks” as I like to call them such as anxiety, food aggression, etc! I’ve trained puppies and I’ve taken care of senior dogs so any animal at any age is safe with me! I am currently working Full time so Monday to Thursday I am gone from 7am to around 8pm and until around 4pm Fridays, weekends are definitely more free as that’s when I am off but I can definitely make it work weekdays as well! I am comfortable with crating animals if that is your routine and will ensure that the yard they are being let out into is safe and secure (ensure the fence didn’t get opened somehow, no one’s tossed anything in the yard etc). When walking your beloved fur babies I will ensure that they are walked how you’d expect them to be and that they are safe and well looked after during this time.
“Addy looked after our cats for a few days, and they took to her right away. It was clear from the start how passionate she is about animals. She followed their schedule exactly as directed, kept in regular contact, and sent us photos every day, which gave us great peace of mind. Addy also made sure to ask questions whenever she wasn’t completely sure about something, showing how responsible and attentive she is. On top of that, she kept the house very clean, which we really appreciated. I was truly impressed with her level of care and professionalism, and I would highly recommend Addy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
About: I have fostered a number of different cats, including semi-feral cats who went on to be loving household members. Fostering has included administering various oral and topical medications and adapting to each cat's unique personality and needs. We recently (finally!) foster-failed with our own cat, which has been such a joy.
“Chanda did a great job checking in on our cats and being reliable/communicative. I feel really comfortable letting her continue to coax our shy kitty out to get some love while we are away next time!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely love spending time with them! From fun walks and playtime to keeping routines consistent, I make sure every pup feels happy, safe, and loved. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures or prefers slower, relaxed walks, I adjust to their needs. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means I have a very flexible schedule and lots of availability throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care during weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care since I’m home most of the time. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs! I have a fully gated backyard that provides a safe, secure space for pets to play, explore, and enjoy time outdoors. Your pet will always be supervised and cared for in a calm, loving environment. My home is a safe and welcoming space where your pet will feel comfortable, relaxed, and treated like family. My son loves to be outside playing fetch non stop with the dogs.

Jasmine works part time in Edmonton, Tuesday to Friday. We have four indoor cats and one Cocker Spaniel. We recently lost our two best canine friends, Otis and Sadie, to the rainbow bridge.

“Carina is fantastic. She is so thorough and takes excellent care of our puppy. We have appreciated her wonderful communication, with regular updates and photos that give us peace of mind while he is there. She is reliable, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. Our puppy adores her, and we feel completely confident leaving him in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Lexie is amazing with my puppy, Willow. I feel quite at ease knowing she is taking care of my pup and loving on her while I'm at work. I highly recommend Lexie to watch your animals!”
“I am always a bit nervous leaving my pup with a new sitter, but Ginette made me feel at ease upon drop off, and seems like a kind genuine person. She sent adorable update photos through the day to let me know things were going well. Also- My day ran late and she was totally fine with me picking her up later than the original time. I know my puppy is a handful but she must have had a fun day! She was excited to see me but fell asleep shortly after pickup, resting after a fun-filled day :) Highly recommended!”
About: Hey there! *prices may vary, don't be shy to ask!🐾💕 My name is Abbie, I am 29 years young and I have loved and cared for animals my ENTIRE life. I know there is a lot of information, but please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have! I am new to Bentley (and area), so I am looking to make those long-term connections! I am an avid dog lover and have a passion for teaching those who want to learn! Dogs are so great that way, they are always looking to please. Your pups may already know me from the dog park, down by the lake or doggy daycare! When I was a teenager I knew I wanted to help and take care of animals, so I spent most of my late teens and 20s in the animal industry, whether that be dog daycare, animal boarding, fostering with rescues, etc. You name it, if it involved animals, I was deeply involved! ✨️With over 10+ years of animal care under my belt, I am confident in the ability to make long lasting connections with you and your furry best friend. 🐾 I have always been passionate about animals and they have been such a huge part of my life - dogs especially. They are such innocent happy creatures that give us unconditional love, joy and companionship. I love them - and they love me. 💕 House-sitting is one of my favorite services to offer. Your pets get to stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine, and I make sure your space is respected, clean, and well cared for. I’m reliable, responsive, and treat every home with the same care I’d want for my own. I’m also fully open to multi-week stays and longer-term arrangements. I have a huge soft spot for small dogs and senior pets. Their gentle personalities, big hearts, and unique needs are something I truly cherish. Whether it’s extra cuddle time, slow strolls, medication support, or simply keeping them comfortable and happy, caring for them is something I love and take to heart. I am super excited to start this next chapter in my life with your furry best friends. It is the beginning of a fun, rewarding, and truly meaningful career that I have been wanting my whole life. I can't believe it took me this long to get the 'ball rolling'... (unintended dog joke). 🥎 I have had the privilege of dog and cat sitting for many friends and family over the years (I was that 10 year old knocking on doors looking to walk dogs or dogsit!) & have received great feedback. There also haven't been many times in my life that I did not have a furry companion to care for of my own. As of now, I have no animals of my own, although we are open arms for the care of yours. ✨️I know how stressful it can be trusting your best friend with a stranger. We want you to feel 100% comfortable leaving your pet with us. I am more than happy to meet up prior to watching your pup, just for everyone to get a feel for each other and make sure it's a great fit! I hope that you will place your trust in me! I can assure you while they are in my care they will receive an abundance of love & attention and will feel safe and comfortable. 💕 I will make sure to follow your guidelines in terms of exercise, feeding, medication, treats, etc. ✨️ What does care look like while they are in our home? Glad you asked. While I currently do not have a fenced backyard, this means the world is our backyard. Instead of being put in a fence backyard, every outting is a new adventure. A walk to the new unknown! They are free to cuddle with us on the furniture and we have plenty of comfy places to take a well needed snooze! Your pups will feel right at home here! We treat them as our own when they stay here! ✨️I am home basically full-time, so your pets will have ALL of my attention while you are away. What does my day-to-day life look you may ask? In the summer a day for myself looks like a walk down by the lake or a quick trip to a river or hiking spot. We are trying to get more into camping! We love fishing and exploring new places! All things dogs and people alike thrive for. My partner is a major busy body and always looking to get out of the house. Our winters are a bit more relaxed and looks like walks then coming home to hang out under a blanket with cuddles and a movie. Sometimes ice fishing if the weather permits! Due to just moving here, I don't have a big social life. I don't drink or smoke, nor do I party. My social life mainly consists of sitting around a fire chatting about life. ✨️I promise to keep you updated throughout the day/week & send lots of pictures/videos (I LOVE taking pictures). I am very responsive and always have my phone on me. ✨️With your permission, we are open to taking them to dog parks, dog daycare, to the lake, even the possibility of camping! ✨️With your permission, I'd love if I could upload photos of your animals to build my portfolio on Rover! 🐾💕 ** Please note: • We can only accept dogs 20 pounds and under for daycare/boarding in our home due to building restrictions. We cannot accept cats or dogs who are not kennel trained into our home, for similar reasons. • I have no limitations on housesitting! Thank you for your understanding! Thank you for considering me—I’d love the opportunity to care for your beloved companion. Please reach out with any questions!
“Cathy and her husband are amazing people. Very kind and caring. I can tell they take great care of my boy. Cathy is attentive to directions and I feel very comfortable leaving my pride and joy in her care! She is flexible and a great communicator. She sends me photo updates and my pup ended up needing an emergency visit to the vet (we think he got into something in our yard, still don't know what) and she was super worried about him because she truly cares about him. She is such a lovely woman. We are repeat customers for sure!”

“Chanda was super sweet and accommodating with my nervous pup! He ended up getting sick when I dropped him off and she handled it very well, kept me updated and made sure he was comfortable!”
About: I have taken care of rescue dogs, both young mom and pups, along with pregnant dogs, to senior dogs. I grew up with different types of dogs and my grandfather raced greyhounds. I currently am at home. I do have my granddaughter after school, who loves animals. She has a cat. Going for walks would also help me get some exercise. I have an unfenced yard, so your dog would always be on a leash. I have a small senior dog that usually would accompany me on walks.
“Anushka took great care of Montego. She was great at sending pictures and updating on how he was doing. Montego had so much fun he didn’t want to leave at the end of the say. I would highly recommend her :)”
About: I have been blessed with the ability to dog sit all sorts of breeds for the past 13 years. From toy poodles, Shih Tzu’s, to Doberman pinschers. I have loved every minute of it. I especially enjoy working with senior pets. I love to bring them some fun as well as calmness in their senior years and love on them as much as possible. I love getting to take things at their speed. Having just lost the ten year old Doberman I had cared for full time for a year and a half, having taken some time to mourn her loss, I am now ready to bring on someone new. I am available to come to your home, where your dog is most comfortable to sit for the day or even a few hours. Or if it is more convenient to welcome your dog into my home. I love being able to take dogs for walks for some good exercise or just to get their business done. I will treat your dog as if they are my very own, and I mean that! As a stay at home mom, with my children getting older and currently in middle school, I am looking for something to get me out of the house, and bring me a sense of fulfillment. I love having a really good reason to go for a walk. Having a dog to walk is to me the ultimate reason to get outside! I am extremely flexible to schedule and whatever routine will meet you and your dogs needs. I have a small fenced back yard. I live just off of Kin Kanyon and there are many trails to be taken advantage of. I do have a cat who simply ignores most dogs. If she is a concern I can happily put her into the basement with the door closed while the dog is visiting.
“Quick and easy communication and nice welcoming with dogs and Sarah’s daughter when we pulled up. My puppy putter got to play with the pack and just be a dog. She had so much fun with her white younger dog and after I picked up my pup we came home and she ate and passed out ! Good day! Thanks again Sarah. See you next time!:)??”
“Claire is so kind and awesome!! My dog loved her care. She is very good with communication and kept me updated of my dog. Definitely I will ask her service again. Thank you very much for wonderful care for Frankie.”

Even down to sitting and having breakfast with him so he will eat his food ♥️ I would absolutely use Tracy again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much for giving me peace of mind so I could fully be present in my course and knowing that my dog was properly taken care of and was ok♥️”

About: About Me My name is Miranda, and I have over 20 years of professional experience working with dogs of many breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My background includes working with rescue dogs from a wide range of situations, with a strong focus on rehabilitation and behavior support. I previously worked as a Canine Behavioural Analyst with the Hamilton–Burlington SPCA, where I was responsible for assessing dogs and determining the most suitable home environment for each individual animal. This experience has given me a strong foundation in understanding canine behavior, stress signals, and individual care needs. I am happy to answer any questions and provide further details. Please feel free to reach out by message or phone. Home Environment Children live in the home and are respectful, calm, and experienced around animals. All interactions with pets are closely supervised, and rough or inappropriate behavior toward animals is not permitted. Maintaining a safe, calm environment for every pet in our care is a top priority. How We Care for Your Pet Dogs Dog Sitting While your dog is staying with us, we aim to replicate the structure and routine of their home as closely as possible. Feeding schedules, walk times, rest periods, and activity levels are customized to suit your dog’s individual needs. This approach helps reduce stress and allows dogs to settle into the new environment quickly and comfortably. Your dog will be cared for as if they were our own, and you will receive regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Special requests and care instructions are always welcome. Drop-In Visits Drop-in visits are ideal for short trips, busy days, or when your pet simply needs some extra attention. These visits take place in your home, allowing your pet to remain in a familiar environment. Services include feeding, backyard bathroom breaks, and plenty of affection and companionship. Dog Walks Perfect for busy but responsible pet owners. Walks are approximately 30 minutes in your local neighbourhood and provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation for your dog. Cats Cats are cared for exclusively in their own home. This allows them to maintain their normal routine with minimal disruption. Visits are customized to your cat’s needs and can include feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, with flexible availability and a focus on afternoons for walks, drop-in visits, and in-home care. This allows me to provide calm, attentive, and unrushed care while keeping pets on a consistent routine so they feel safe and comfortable. Care is tailored to each pet and the specific service being provided. For dog walks, I focus on safe, structured walks that suit the dog’s energy level and comfort, providing both physical exercise and mental stimulation. For drop-in visits with dogs and cats, care takes place in the pet’s home to maintain their normal routine. Visits include feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, basic cleanup as needed, companionship, and affection. I always prioritize calm, respectful handling and closely follow any instructions provided to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for

“I am sooooo happy to have found Denise! I have never used a rover before and would go to great lengths to find care for my dog that I felt comfortable with and it’s just a nice feeling to have found someone reliable who my dog loves and I feel happy knowing she’s having a blast when I’m gone. When I dropped my dog off on the last stay, she was soooo happy to see Denise, it definitely reassured me that I’m dropping her off at a safe and happy place :)”
“My dog was at Sarah's once for daycare and when we left him for boarding he was super excited to go there. Sarah sent regular updates and left me at ease, knowing he was being well cared for.”
About: I have been a dog owner for over 20 years. I recently had to let my ole girl pass over the rainbow, such an heartbreaking decision to make. She was happy as the only dog if the house and I had a desire for more happy tails! So I decided to start walking dogs and doing pet visits so that I could fulfill my need for more waggy tails! I do work a local job that runs Monday -Friday, but am done by 3:15. I schedule my walks for 3:15 and after.I do get a 30 min lunch break that I can do washroom breaks for pets if needed. Walks are 30-45 mins. I do have weekends and evenings off, this is where I make the time for pups/cats. I do not tend to bring other dogs to my home, I have done so on occasion but only after my dog has had a chance to meet our new furry visitor. I do dog walks, visits and out door adventures for your pup. I even take some of my 4 legged friends to the back country roads, for that nice open free run!
“This was our first time using Sarah to care for our dog as she was recovering from surgery and we needed someone to be able to follow her medication schedule. Sarah was great, easy to communicate with, and had no problems getting our picky dog to take her pills. Our dog had an amazing time playing with the other dogs and we will definitely be asking Sarah to care for her again in the future.”
“Teaghan was wonderful to chat with leading up to time of drop off - this was just as important for me, as she was genuinely interested in how to keep our dog safe, comfortable and well taken care of. She was even willing to meet before hand to get to meet and greet with our pup as it was our first time using a sitter for our dog. Frequent texts, picture updates and great exercise Completed the care for our dog. I could tell on pick up that our dog wasn’t stressed, nor eager to leave. Would definitely recommend Teaghan for her services and will use her again, myself, for any doggy sitting needs. Great work, keep it up!”
“Alexis sat for our two dogs for two nights and they were well taken care of while we were gone. She ensured that they went on their walks, fed, and fully cuddled during their stay! She communicates well and kept us informed with all we needed to know and sent pictures of our pets during our stay. I recommend Alexis to care for your pets’ needs!”
“I highly recommend Janelle! I went away overnight and leaving my fur baby with her made it completely stress and worry free! My dog has a little bit of health issues and she was so understanding and tended to my dog perfectly! Janelle sent lots of updates and photos, it was great!”
“Duke and Lola loved their stay one on one care rather than a group daycare. Cathy-Lea and her husband spoiled them with love and attention highly recommend them. Thank you both for taking such great care of Duke and Lola they can’t wait to visit again ❤️🥰❤️🥰🐾🐾”
“Laura and John took great care of our Jojo and they even took her in on short notice. We have taken her there twice now and both times she had a blast. Even got a bath after digging in the dirt the first time. We will definitely be back. Thanks again for taking Jojo in onsuch short notice.”
“Shelley and her fam were amazing with my guy! He was treated like part of the fam and was comfortable right away! I did not have any anxiety leaving my dog with her! Her home is very dog friendly and my guy had the best time of his life he played so hard and was pooped the whole day once he was home ! Can’t recommend her enough 🤍”
