“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.”
“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!”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Casey did an exceptional job taking care of Kiro. He would keep us updated daily with pictures and Kiro was definitely spoiled. I would highly recommend Casey if u need a sitter. Will definitely come back. Thank you Casey and Shauna!”
“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 :)”
“Jills care for our 13 year old diabetic cat was amazing. I reached out to her last min due to her previous 5 star ratings. Although Jill was booked, she made a special room for our old boy. She provided him an entire room with 2 litter boxes, a double bed and even a flower on the table. He was in a 5 star resort. She created a box for him surrounded by pillows and blankets for him to hide during the storms. She made a ramp for his easy access on and off the bed. Her communication was immediate and so professional. Jill provided us pictures of our old boy a number of times a day along with updates on his eating and insulin injections-that she was excellent at administering. He was cuddled, petted, taken care of and very happy. I would highly recommend Jill for anyone who wants their beloved pet to be in the very best care. We have already booked her again for his next stay. Words cannot say how impressed we are with Jill!”
“Stacey is always fantastic to deal with. Every interaction is genuine from booking to pick up, and she goes above and beyond to ensure the best care possible. We would not hesitate to have Stacey sit Sputten again.”
“Sherrie was absolutely amazing with Coco! ❤️ I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of her while I was away. She kept me updated every single day, sent me pictures, and always made sure I knew how Coco was doing. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Coco was safe, happy, and being so well cared for. You can truly tell that Sherrie loves animals and treats them like family. I’m so grateful I found her, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Coco absolutely loved her! 🐶❤️ Thank you so much, Sherrie! 🥰”
“Ben was fantastic, and his price is reasonable… if it stays that way, I will definitely use him again in the future! It’s more reasonable than most prices that are listed. We are both happy! Libby seems to have had had a great time with him :) thanks Ben!”
“Jenna-Lee was amazing with Gretchen!! She provided frequent updates & was extremely kind both at pick up and drop off. I would definitely recommend her, especially as an anxious pet-owner who doesn’t leave her dog too often!”
“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.”
“As always, Sidney LOVES his time with you guys. He's always so happy when he is there and we can tell how much you all love and adore him (and the other dogs). We're so happy we found you!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine life without them. Over the years I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I currently share my life with two dogs — one senior who’s reactive and needs a bit of extra understanding and structure, and one big, gentle goof who loves everyone. That means I’m very comfortable reading dog body language, managing different temperaments, and keeping walks calm and positive. I’ve also pet sat for friends, including a husky and a pug (quite the duo!), and know how to adapt to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether your dog is shy, social, or somewhere in between, I meet them where they’re at. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, being outdoors, and making sure pets feel safe, cared for, and content while their people are away. I build my day around my own dog’s walks, which means I’m outside and active, ready to give each pet the attention, exercise, and care they need. I provide calm, attentive care in your home, following each pet’s routines for feeding, walks, play, and attention. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. For dogs, I also offer walks tailored to their energy level and personality, ensuring they get exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of positive attention.
“First time using rover and I'm glad we used Jennifer. Our pup was so well taken care of. And appreciated the regular pics and updates. My first choice for future services”
“Marissa was awesome. It was my first time using rover and she was super accommodating for drop off and pick up times. Administered meds for the 10 days i was gone. Gave me daily updates about my dog and checked in when there were issues. Couldn't have asked for more! Happy to have found her .. it was super nice to go on vacation and not stress about how my dog was doing. 🙂🙂”

We needed a place last minute to watch out our black lab. In the immediate repossession and in person conversation after, we were immediately confident she was the right person to entrust in the care of Sampson. Only left him a few hours, but in that time she took him for a walk and sent pictures of him. Highly recommend
Jennifer was wonderful she took my puggles and beagle both high energy and looked after them for 6 days. Both dogs are 7 and have never been away from home my beagle is nervous and my puggles is over the top confident. I was a little worried leaving them because they've never been away from my place but there both sleeping I think they had a great vacation too. Highly recommend Jennifer
Pamela was absolutely amazing with my pooch. She updated me a few times letting me know that she had taken him for walks. And he seemed very happy. Even on pickup, both her husband and her boy said that gunner was a good puppy. I will definitely look into using her again
Rufana was absolutely wonderful with Leo! She sent us lots of updates, photos and videos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. She took him out for tons of walks and clearly gave him lots of attention and care. Leo can sometimes be an anxious dog, so it was especially reassuring to see how happy, relaxed, and comfortable he was with her. We felt completely confident that he was in great hands while we were away. We would absolutely trust Rufana with Leo again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!
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
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!

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.
