“Shona did a fantastic job. I was very happy that not only was my cat given food and water but also lots of attention and care to help him out while I was away. I would definitely book with Shona again.”
About: I have been working for Edmonton humane Society for 4 years. Prior to that I have fostered many cats, kittens and rabbits. I live on a small acreage and own 2 dogs, 3 cats, 3 Rabbits, 2 tortoises, chickens and ducks. I have also volunteered for several animal rescues. I am comfortable with all cats, dogs, kittens, puppies, rabbits, chickens, ducks and reptiles. I am comfortable with giving medications, injections and other medical treatments. I am mostly available on Thursdays but also some Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays as well as evenings. I am mainly looking for casual work. I will treat your animals with love and care. I have training in fear free animal interactions and am very experienced reading animal body language.
About: Hi, my name is Jordan. I am a Registered Veterinary Technician. Ever since a young age I have always loved animals, I've grown up around animals and now I work with them. Walks, playing amd cuddles will obviously be part of the package but I also have experience giving medication (oral and injections), bathing and nail trims. I am available for bookings on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I work a shifting 8am–8pm schedule, allowing me to accommodate early morning drop-ins before work or evening care after my shift ends. Midday lunch visits are also possible depending on how close you live to my workplace! Thursdays and weekends are my days off, offering fully open and flexible availability. Please reach out for further scheduling details so we can find the perfect time for your pet! My primary goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine while ensuring their health and safety. For dog walks, I provide structured, energetic exercise tailored to your dog’s age and stamina, using positive reinforcement. During drop-in visits for both dogs and cats, I handle all feeding, refresh water bowls, and perform meticulous litter box or yard cleanups. Because of my medical background, I monitor behavioral cues and precisely administer any required medications (oral, topical, or injections). Every visit finishes with plenty of love, playtime, and a detailed update sent straight to you.
About: I love dogs and grew up with two dogs myself that were rescued dogs. With these two dogs they had trauma and I was able to built personal relationships with them and gain trust. I loved playing with them inside and outside. I would take them to the beach and dog parks. I loved watching these dogs be happy and become confident with themselves; as well as environment. These dogs became my best furry friends and always put a big smile on my face. As a caregiver for your dog I would definitely make sure your pet is safe and loved. Your dog would receive lots of attention, hugs and kisses because I would not be able to contain myself. I find dogs adorable and cute. I would follow your instructions and guidelines to your dog and make sure they are happy in my care. I would send you pictures and texts messages to reassure you that your dog is in good hands.
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 🥰
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for 20 plus years, I grew up on a 2400 acre ranch for most of my life :) I have yet to meet an animal that dislikes me! I am home most of the time so I can take the dog out at any time :) I have another dog that they can play with as well she is very friendly, a bit older so not to playful. Whatever the customer suggests with their animal I will follow those guidelines. There are other animals here for them to play with so they don't feel alone. Bring any toys or food that your pet needs :) I want them to feel as comfortable as possible, just like my own animals.
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with an 8 year old Rottweiler named Pablo. As well as 2 cats, Ginny & Alfie! They’re the closest things to children I have, and I love them deeply. I understand the importance of finding someone who will care for your furry family members in the same way! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give your fur babies ample attention, love and the care they deserve. Love the outdoors, especially long walks! I’d love to provide your pets with the same care, love, patience and attention I give my own! :) I’m a relator with a vast knowledge of Edmonton and greater areas. This allows me to have an extremely flexible schedule that can serve me and you well! I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup as well as two cats that keep to their lonesome. A big yard and a calming environment. Can crate as per request!
About: Me and my family raised and breed American Akita’s and other farm and exotic animals back home in Alberta. I also grow up with all kinds of breeds of dogs from small one’s to big breed dogs. I’m personally an active person. So I’ll be taking an proactive approach in your dog and make sure it gets as much activity with me as possible. If your dog likes being lazy, I can hangout with him/her and watch Netflix and give them lots of attention. But most importantly, I’ll give as much love and care as you would for your dog. My schedule is mostly free in the morning and afternoon’s during the weekdays. If you require a certain day, please give notice. Thanks, see you and your dog soon. I’m currently in the process of joining the armed forces and work part-time. Meaning lots of playtime and adventures to play with puppies and dogs. I have a house with a yard and a gate to keep the dogs inside. I’m very attentive with dogs with any special needs and wants.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Duffield is $25 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 841 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Duffield. About 87% of Duffield sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Duffield choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
