“Hugo was relaxed and well looked after even withthe extra last minute care he required all the updates with photos was wonderful . we will definetely leave Hugo with Katrina and Ryan again. it was nice for Hugo to make friends with Rocky.”
“If you want a sitter who makes your pet feel like a King, and makes your pet so excited to go to their house he climbs into your arms to make sure you dont forget him in the morning, Ana is for you. I never worry about leaving my old mop of a dog with her. I can't say enough good things about her.”
“I recently went on vacation and, although I was initially hesitant to leave my pets with a stranger, I decided to give Pamela a try based on her reviews. I couldn't be happier with the outcome! Pamela, along with her helpers, provided exceptional care for my pets over the weekend. Despite not knowing her personally, Pamela proved to be a great pet parent. Her dedication and love for animals were evident from the moment we met. My pets were well taken care of and seemed very happy and comfortable when I returned. Pamela will definitely be my first choice for pet care any time I need to be away. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!”
“Jenna was very flexible with my schedule, took Ela for walks, ensure she ate her food and much more! Ela has been very well cared for and was tired when she got home. I will be rebooking with Jenna for sure! ❤️”
“Holli was incredible to work with and took such good care of our dog, who needed some special accommodations. We would recommend her in a heartbeat and look forward to using her services again!”
“Stacey and her family were amazing! We felt so at ease leaving Sputten with them for the week. What we loved most was the daily updates and photos. They brought so much joy and comfort as we watched him playing with other dogs and cuddling up. Knowing he was happy and safe allowed us to enjoy our vacation. We were super impressed with Stacey’s ability to replace Sputten’s eye drops when the container got damaged and thought she went above and beyond washing his bed upon our return. We will definitely be booking with Stacey again in the future!”
“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 provided a calm, comforting space for our two dogs while we were traveling over the holidays. As it happens our golden retriever celebrated her first birthday on the day we left and that evening Jill sent us photos from a sweet little birthday party she threw for them (cake, photo backdrop, the works!). We received daily updates and photos of our pups enjoying play time and living their best lives. We picked up two happy pups that were clearly well cared for in our absence. Thank you Jill for providing exceptional care for our babies!”
“Casey and his wife are unreal. I left my 13 year old frenchie in their hands for almost 3 weeks while I was on vacation in Japan. They took such great care of him! He even seems to have better mobility now and appears much happier! Thank you Casey!!!!”
“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.”
“Benjamin is such a GEM! Took my pup in last minute. Sent me updates , photos, and videos. I could barely get my dog to leave. Thank you Benjamin for taking such amazing care of my best bud.”
“Renee was wonderful to deal with and she took very good care of our dog. We really appreciated receiving updates and pictures to show them having a good time together! We will most definitely be using Renee as our dog sitter in the future 😊”
“Dylan was great with rocky and most likely the only person I trust to watch him now. He gives all the attention my pup needed and more. Rocky absolutely loves him and I know he cant wait to go back !”
“Angelica was very good to my dog, took really good care of him when boarding and took my request on short notice. it was only his second overnight stay with someone he didn’t know and he was comfortable enough with her to sleep in her bed cuddling, so I know he was treated with love and respect .”
“Vanessa is amazing! She always treats my girl so well and I know I never have to worry while I’m away. I’m very grateful for the care she shows my dog and highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“I simply cannot say enough glowing things about Adina. I have a wee Chihuahua that has never been apart from me and needed 4 days of care for her. Adina and her husband came by my house for a meet and greet before her boarding and immediately put any concerns I had at ease. When I dropped my Lily off Adina had toys for her which she immediately got into, she felt very at ease. Throughout her visit, Adina sent pictures and messages and a Wonderful funny video of them both. Adina is one of the most loving gentle people, I have met and gave my Lily an amazing wee holiday. You would be incredibly fortunate to have Adina care for your pup. I couldn't say Thank you enough!!! Bless you Adina 🫂🐾🙏♥️”
“Marianne is loving and takes great care of our dog like her own. Chloe always feels safe and comfortable around her. Additionally, the timely updates are a nice touch. We Highly recommended her services to all dog parents.”

I would recommend Jenna-Lee without hesitation! We left our dog with Jenna-Lee and her lovely family for almost a month, and he was very much loved and well taken care of. It can be stressful to leave your pet with anyone new, but rest assured, your stress is not needed here! We received pictures and messages everyday, and Jenna-Lee was very diligent at following our feeding instructions. We feel so lucky to have found her. Not sure our dog wanted to come home 😊.
Zoey provided care for about 12 days during our summer holiday this year. She was very responsive to our questions when we were deciding which dog sitter to use, and she was also very communicative while our pup was in her care. She sent us pictures and videos of our dog having fun with her pets every other day and responded within hours or faster to any questions we had when I checked in. We will definitely be using her again. Highly recommended.
Our dog looked like she was living her beat life staying with Pamela! What a wonderful sitter - she gave our dog daily walks in the river valley and had such a great rapport with her right from our meet and greet through her stay. Thanks and we will book again! Alison
I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about Lexia. From the very beginning, she has treated our pup like her own-with so much love, patience, and genuine care. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that when we’re away, our baby isn’t just being looked after, but truly cared for and loved. We feel so lucky to have found someone so kind, reliable, and dedicated. I wouldn’t trust anyone else the way I trust Lexia. Thank you for always taking such amazing care of our fur baby ❤️
Jessica took absolutely wonderful care of our 15 year old bichon-shih tzu, who is mostly blind and deaf and requires medication twice a day. We had never left her in the care of a stranger before but would 100% leave her with Jessica again!!! She sent us daily updates and pictures and let us meet her beforehand to make sure our dog was ok there. I would definitely recommend!
We had an exceptional experience with Morgan on Rover! Willow was so happy and relaxed when I picked her up—it was clear she was well cared for and loved. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while we were away. Morgan went above and beyond to make sure Willow was comfortable and cared for like her own. Her dog Rosie is so sweet, and it was lovely knowing Willow had such a great companion during her stay. I would highly recommend Morgan to anyone looking for reliable, attentive care, and we will definitely be booking again for our next trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Edmonton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Edmonton
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
