“I am beyond thrilled with the care Ella provides for my dog! Every time we arrive, my dog can hardly contain her excitement as her tail wags, she howls in excitement, and how eagerly she runs to greet Ella. It's such a comforting feeling knowing that she loves spending time with Ella, which speaks volumes about the level of care provided. Ella is great with dogs, and it shows in every interaction. She’s patient, attentive, and truly understands my dog's needs and quirks. She has extensive experience taking care of dogs, including her own pup, Ron! My dog has so much fun playing with Ron. Whether it's playtime in the yard, walks, or chilling on the couch, my dog always comes home happy, content, and to a good sleep. One of the things I appreciate most are the regular updates Ella sends. The photos and videos of my dog having fun and enjoying herself give me so much peace of mind while I'm away. It's clear that she's not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for and loved. Ella is also reliable and professional. She’s always punctual and is flexible with scheduling, which makes everything so much easier. If you're searching for someone who will treat your dog like their own and provide the highest level of care, I wholeheartedly recommend Ella!”
About: I’ve got aims to become a dog trainer. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for several pets, mainly dogs and rabbits. Being familiar with prey species, I’ve got a soft spot for the timid and fearful dog in your life. I’m working to become a dog trainer, and I’d be more than happy to support your training goals when I’m with your pet. I’m available until 11am and after 4pm weekdays. Weekends are generally open, especially with advanced notice. As I work to become a trainer, making time for you and your pet is a priority for me. Your pet is unique and you know them best, so I’ll aim to learn what your needs and expectations are well in advance of providing care. With your pet, I am attentive to any needs they communicate and respond accordingly.
“I would gladly engage Jenna-Lee again. She was prompt, sent lots of good photos and updates, and she was always available by text. She is lovely and caring. Our kitties took to her right away.”
“Heather did a fantastic job checking in on our senior kitty while we were out of town. She was very understanding and accommodating to her needs and sent very detailed updates during her check-ins. We are grateful to have found someone like her to look out for our girl! 10/10, will absolutely hire Heather again!”
About: Hey I’m Ness, I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter who enjoys spending time with dogs. I’m comfortable with small and medium-sized dogs, daily walks, feeding, and giving lots of attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs. I’m available for regular walks and can provide your pet with exercise, attention, and a safe, enjoyable experience. I always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure every walk is comfortable and stress free. Safety and trust are my top priorities. During every walk, I make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and supervised at all times. I follow the owner’s instructions, use proper leash handling, and pay attention to each dog’s needs and behavior. I provide a calm, positive, and safe experience for every pet.

About: Hello, Pet Parents! 👋 I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals—from farm cats in my childhood to training our family puppy for agility competitions in my teens. Animals aren’t just a hobby for me; they are my passion. While in university, I dedicated my time to volunteering at the SPCA, helping rehabilitate and comfort large, fearful dogs. Today, my home is filled with love from our two cats—including my 17-year-old senior orange tabby, Naranjito—and our family dog. Why Choose Me? Through years of personal pet ownership and professional pet sitting (including dogs, cats, and birds), I have developed a comfort level with specialized medical care: Senior Care: Understanding the gentle pace and extra patience older pets need. Injectable Medications & Testing: Experienced with diabetic care, including blood tests and insulin injections. Special Needs & Emergency Calm: Capable of managing complex conditions like canine epilepsy and severe allergies, ensuring your pet is comforted and safe during vulnerable moments. To us, our pets are a wonderful, beloved part of our world. But to them? We are their entire world. That simple realization shapes everything I do as a pet sitter. Every interaction, every walk, and every cuddle session comes down to one fundamental question: How is this animal experiencing the world, and how can I make that experience better? Animals experience life through a completely different lens—and often, a completely different nose! When your dog goes for a walk, it isn't just about physical exercise; it’s their morning newspaper, their social feed, and their grand adventure. When I’m with your pets, I act as their bridge to a bigger, more exciting world: For the dogs: It’s giving them the time and patience to sniff out every trail, explore new scents, and satisfy their curiosity. (My own pup always inspects my pant legs to get the full report on which fur-friends I’ve visited!) For the cats: It’s tuning into their subtle signals, and letting them explore at their own pace—whether that's investigating a new toy or scent-checking where I've been. I don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" pet sitting. Every animal has a distinct personality, and unique comfort zones. My goal is to meet them right where they are and provide genuine mental and physical enrichment while you're away. I treat every pet as the center of my universe while they're in my care—because I know you are the center of theirs. I work as a part-time letter carrier, but I have mornings (until 12), almost all evenings, and most weekends available to care for your pet(s). I have been called "too trusting" in my past... but this has luckily never injured me in a serious way. In fact, the worst thing is realizing that my standard of trustworthiness is NOT universal... but that has made me more skeptical of others when it really matters. Caring for your pet is something that requires a lot of trust of me, and I appreciate your skepticism. I wouldn't leave my fur-babies with just anyone, too. Training dogs when I was younger made me much more aware of body language and different personalities. I am always watching for potential stressors or safety issues. I love giving dogs the freedom of an off-leash area, but would have to trust that they will listen to me before being comfortable with any safety risks involved with that.
“Madalynn was excellent. I have a very anxious, jumpy Great Dane that Madalynn met, and she was very calm about his frustration and anxiety. She worked with him using treats and was able to settle him. She never showed any fear at all! I will have her back again!”
“Harleen was fantastic! We had a unique situation, visiting our daughter from our of tiwn. We needed someone to care for our pup while we took our daughter out for dinner. Harleen had super communication before and during her stay with Tashi. We highly recommend Harleen and would absolutely contact again when visiting.”
“Sarah-Beth is fantastic and we will definitely seek out her services again. Our adult cat was in the middle of adjusting to the crazy kitten we had brought into our home and Sarah-Beth navigated it all perfectly. We especially appreciated the fun and reassuring photos and videos and we came home to happy cats.”
“Hannah was very responsive and attentive during the sitting service. Hannah followed a lot of instructions well. Grooming my two medium-hairs daily was very important and I appreciated Hannah's willingness to take the time to do it. Hannah will spend the time needed to properly care for your animals and I would happily hire this sitter again.”
“Ava was excellent! She was quick and easy to communicate with and she took great care of our boys while we were exploring Sicamous and the Wineries! Would love to have her again when we return for another vacation! Highly recommend.”

“First time having Lillia drop in on my two cats and the one decided to have some medical issues. Lillia was professional, provided frequent and thorough updates, and willing/able to adapt to the situation until I got home. Hopefully next time it's less eventful!”
“Very happy with Thanh's care of my two kitties! Sent me updates and pictures everyday, definitely helped give me peace of mind that my kitties are doing well. Would definitely hire again for my next vacation!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Edmonton
Jon was incredible and took such great care of our entire herd, including giving insulin to several. It was our first time using Rover so we were a little hesitant at first. But once we met Jon, we knew the cats would be in good hands! He was punctual, gave great updates and we will definitely be using his services again. HIGHLY recommend!:)
This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kelly came over for a meet and greet and the cats all loved her right away. We left on our trip and I messaged Kelly in the morning and that is when we realized I had booked the wrong day! Thankfully she was able to go over to the house right away which saved our trip. She took the best pictures of our cats and did such a great job of looking after them. When we got home the cats were so happy and chill. We would highly recommend Kelly to watch your pets!
Alina was absolutely wonderful sitting for Neko and Zany while we were away for the week! She's so friendly and professional, and it was clear from day one that our kitties adored her. She played with them, gave them all the cuddles and pets, and you could just tell how much they loved her from all the photos she sent. One of my favorite things about working with Alina is that she treats your cats like they're her own. That kind of genuine care really shows. She also sent so many photos and videos throughout the week, which means the world when you're away and missing your pets. And she kept the water fountains filled, the litter boxes clean, and the food topped up but most importantly, she made sure our kitties were happy the whole time. We'll definitely be booking Alina again next time we're away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares about your pets! 🐾💕
We’ve had Miranda and Aaron as cat sitters a few times now, and they are always great—thoughtful and reliable, with cute updates and pics. They pay attention to the small details and personal preferences of our cats, and go above and beyond to take good care of them. We’ll definitely contact them again the next time we need a cat sitter. Thanks Miranda and Aaron!
Vanessa is great at what she does and I would highly recommend. She cared for my cats for 3 days while I was out of the city and everything went extremely smooth, taking a huge weight off my shoulders. My one cat, Ginny, is an extremely shy girl and NEVER normally greets strangers - well Vanessa had her out for pets and playing with her toy after ONE day. I was shocked to say the least. 10/10 service :)
Heather is amazing! I’ve never left my cat alone before or had someone look after him other than family. Being new to the city and not knowing anyone meant I couldn’t really leave him alone. He is usually so shy around strangers, but he absolutely adored Heather!! She sent me updates and pictures the entire time. I’m so grateful as my request was a little last minute but she was so flexible. She followed my instructions perfectly. I’m so happy that I found her, I feel so much relief knowing there’s someone here I can trust to care for my cat the same way I do!
