“Katrina and Ryan were phenomenal with our dog Jasper. They provided frequent updates of their adventures, and made every moment enjoyable and fun for him. Communication was efficient and effective. They went above and beyond to ensure a safe and fun experience for our dog. We were comfortable and confident leaving Jasper with Katrina and Ryan and we will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you for taking such great care of our boy!!”
“From meet & greet to pickup, Jennifer was a joy to deal with. Great communication and very obvious dog lover! Tobias had a wonderful stay, lots of cuddles and off leash exercise (his favorite things!). Pictures/updates very appreciated. Tobias will be back for more vacations!”
“Pamela provided a wonderful and fun environment for my cat. My cat really enjoyed playing with the numerous toys in the home and even got time in the Catio! Thank you for taking in my cat on such short notice!”
“We were incredibly fortunate to have Benjamin take care of our dog, Scooby, while we were away. From the first meeting, it was clear that Benjamin is a true animal lover with a genuine passion for what he does. Throughout our trip, Benjamin provided exceptional care for Scooby. He adhered to Scooby's daily routine with precision and ensured he received plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles. Benjamin's dedication and attention to detail were remarkable; he even took note of Scooby's special dietary needs and unique quirks. What truly set Benjamin apart was his communication. He sent us regular updates, complete with photos and videos, which reassured us that Scooby was happy and well taken care of. This thoughtful gesture made our time away so much more enjoyable. When we returned, Scooby was in great spirits and it was evident that he had been well-loved and cared for. Benjamin is trustworthy, reliable, and has a wonderful way with dogs. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking him again in the future. Thank you, Benjamin, for your exceptional care and making Scooby feel at home!”
“My baby came home so tired, loved, and happy! We got regular updates and so many photos. I didn’t have to worry for a second. It was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be using Stacey’s services again.”
“This was the first time I ever left my pup with someone else. I'm glad I found the Rover app and Colton made my leaving easy. From the very beginning he was a great communicator, responded quickly to my request which was important as it was a last minute travel plan. He took great care of Yoda and I cannot thank him enough.”
“Casey treated our dog, Mischa, like part of his family. We got daily updates and pictures, as well as quick responses when we checked in. She seemed very happy with her stay and we were too.”
“10/10 absolutely amazing!! I am very particular when it comes to who cares for my dog and Renee was exactly who I needed. I couldn’t fly with him so when I needed to board him for a week I went over the reviews for what felt like hours. My Rosco is very high energy and she always made sure he was played out either from the other dogs or her playing fetch, she was so amazing to keep up his routine, they were constantly outside, she was so quick to respond and sent photos near daily so I felt very comfortable with his happiness and comfort in her home!!”
“Heather took fantastic care of our pup! We were given lots of updates and photos, and our minds were definitely put at ease. Heather’s home is spacious and cozy, so our pup enjoyed the stay. And we are definitely surprised that our pup bonded with Heather right away, which we totally didn’t expect. Highly recommend!”
“Jenna-Lee is a natural with dogs and made Luna right at home for her 2 days stay. She went above and beyond to help her settle in and feel safe. Highly recommended messaging Jenna if you need a dog sitter in Edmonton”

About: I have been house sitting and pet sitting for the last 10 years. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, from bulldogs to rottweilers, to cattle dogs, and shi-tzus. I also have two 7 year-old domestic short-haired kitties named Mr. Finn and Leonard! I also have several years of experience dealing with birds and reptiles, as well as small animals from working at two different pet stores. I cannot wait to meet your furry friend and treat them like my own! I am currently working part-time but am happy to spend as much time with your pet as I can! And am more than comfortable staying over! I am hoping to make this into full-time work, so that I can dedicate my life to doing something I love. My experience with different breeds, temperments, and ages/health concerns makes me more than qualified to handle anything your pet has to throw at me! I am comfortable with force-free training, providing medications, and crating animals. Even the grumpiest cat will not deter me. I am happy to meet them at their level, whether that's jumping and kissing or completely leaving them alone!
“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.”
“Jill was fantastic with Ziggy, she kept me updated and sent lots of photos and Ziggy always looked happy and totally comfortable with Jill. We have another stay booked with her for May and will certainly keep using her.”
“We've returned multiple times now and haven't ever had a single issue, great communication and always video updates on how our pup is doing through the day and night, much appreciated Karyn!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Edmonton
We booked Jean and Paloma after two Rover people had to cancel a few days before our trip - a family event, and the longest we have been away from Queenie, our anxious rescue chihuahua mix. Jean and Paloma are fantastic and knowledgeable animal carers. Other reviews described that they were able to manage a complicated medication schedule for their pets, and I believe it. They took the same care with our pup, though she was healthy, letting us know about how she was eating, her behavior, etc. Their rate is higher because they are professionals - and of course Queenie could tell that they love animals. My partner even stayed after picking her up to get training advice. If they're available the next time we need Queenie looked after, I would absolutely request them again. Thanks Jean and Paloma!
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.
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.
I think my dog had a better vacation than me this week 😂 i couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. For a whole week, Renee made sure my dog was well taken care of, comfortable, and happy. I loved getting regular updates and seeing how relaxed my Bella was. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!❤️
We dropped our dog Joey off for a weekend with Joelle and she had a great time! Joelle provided updates and pictures which we loved. When we picked Joey up she was pooped from a weekend of playing. We would be happy to leave Joey with Joelle again in the future.
Colleen is so calm and took excellent care of my Chewy. He looked very relaxed and happy in all the pictures she sent which put my mind at ease. She was very quick to respond whenever I asked how things were going. Colleen has great energy and is a very kind and genuine person. I would highly recommend her for anyone needing care for their precious fur babies.

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.
