“This was the first time I've left Bee all by herself and she was well loved and content when I returned. David sent me photos for every check-in and took time to play with her and talk to her. I highly recommend him; he put my mind at ease and I could enjoy my vacation.”
“This is our second time having Anick watch our two cats and I couldn’t recommend her enough! She’s been great with them and I feel relaxed knowing they’re in good hands while we’re away. I love her updates and pictures after each visit, they’re very detailed and you can tell she really cares about the pets. Thank you Anick!”
“Lori has taken care of my cat Noodles many times, she always sends me photos and I can tell my cat feels happy and safe. I would highly recommend her services for any of your pet care needs!”
About: I've taken care of pets ever since I can remember, all the way from dogs to lizards. I have always been passionate about pet care since I was a little girl because I believe animals are the most misunderstood gift that humans have been given. I understand that all animals require that we pay attention to their specific means of communication and needs. I am knowledgeable in gaining the trust of pets, advanced in hygiene maintenance, capable of medicinal administration, proficient in providing pets exercise and abiding by and understanding diet restrictions. I am fully available for pet care for all hours during the day, and am able to do overnight stays with pre arranged appointments. If a long multiple day stay is required I need time to go back to my home for 1 or 2 hours during the day to take care of my own pet. I care for pets in my client's home given that they provide clear instructions for how they want me to care for their pet and they make me aware of the supplies and resources their pet requires. If I am to do an in home appointment, I require a phone call and one in person meeting to get to know you and your pet.
“Aline and Denis were incredible. They made sure my cat was safe, healthy, and happy. They went above and beyond to make sure we had photos of our kitty when we were away and also sent some lovely videos. They were excellent communicators, were timely, and were overall just a total joy. We will definitely use them again when we travel!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Zoe. She did drop-in visits for our four cats over two weeks and truly went above and beyond in every way. Her communication was excellent—she provided detailed notes after each visit along with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Zoe also took amazing care of our home. She even shoveled when it snowed and brought in packages that arrived while we were gone, which was incredibly thoughtful. When we returned, the house smelled fresh and clean—not like litter at all—which says so much about the level of care she put in. We would absolutely recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter.”
“One of the things that I love about Andrea is her flexibility. She seems to always try her best to accommodate our schedule & help us out with our four-leggeds when needed.”
“Belle was great at check-ins with our dogs - she came with treats, had outside time with them, and was able to handle their personalities well!! Our dogs were well cared for by her!”
About: I have had pets in my home since I was a child and pets gravitate towards me. I would love to take your dog for a walk and fetch in the park, or take care of them overnight. My dog & I frequently enjoy hours together in the river valley and he would love a companion. If you’re not comfortable with that (though he is a sweetheart), I can walk your pup solo! I’ll always be sure to have water on hand, and if permitted, treats! You can rest assured that your dog (or cat or ferret) will be safe and happy in my care. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know and I will be happy to give you anymore relevant information! I work evenings and weekend brunches at a restaurant, so I can walk your dog any day of the week! Usually available same day for last minute needs I live in a gated community downtown so your pet would be safe in my home. I also drive a Ford escape so there’s plenty of space for multiple dogs in my vehicle for transportation to walks.
“Saorise was great, loved all the updates and responsiveness. I could tell that my cats enjoyed their visits. Will be booking again if needed! It's nice to know I can go for a getaway/vacation and have peace of mind that they are in good hands.”
About: Hi! I’ve loved animals since childhood and have experience caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, turtles, pigeons, ducks, and more. I truly enjoy spending time with pets, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for.

I can provide pet care at the owner’s home and am available for both short and longer visits depending on your needs. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I always treat pets with patience, kindness, and love 😊 I’m very flexible and love working with pets! I can coordinate the schedule with the owner and am happy to care for pets full-time, for as many hours or days as needed I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, comfortable, and loved while they are with me.

About: I own a pitbull chocolate lab mix, hes a rescue and is my joy in life. I've taught him manners and made him many friends, he and I are always in the market for new dog friends! I own a dog so walks daily lots of snuggles and bring him to see his friends almost daily. And the park as often as possible. I live in a house with my dog, we hangout outside, go for walks, the park, and we play outback in the yard, and wrestling, sometimes ice cream treats on hot days!
About: Hello! I have spent my whole life caring and appreciating dogs, cats, and even sheep. Master at giving treats and snuggles. I’ll love them as if they were my own ❤️ I work full time, so taking care of animals is like any other fur parent. They will get lots of cuddles and attention no matter the schedule. Set boundaries/crating if needed, I keep all items except for toys away from the dogs/cats to not get into anything they can hurt themselves with. Reward good behaviour with their favourite cookies.
About: Having owned two wonderful dogs in my life and been a special friend & "aunt" of several other dogs and some cats.

As a sitter who would be in your home, caring for your pets, I would be able to follow your established schedule in order to cause the least distress and or disruption for your pets.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Edmonton
Julia is lovely. We booked her services while we were away for a couple days and she took incredible care of Winnie. Julia is responsible, organized, and compassionate. Her experience with reactive dogs is an asset. We would happily ask her to dog sit again in the future!
Urbah continues to impress and amaze me! She is completely dependable and dedicated. My pups just love her- and when I come home after work, and she has visited them, they are happy and fulfilled. I don’t know what I would do without her. She meets the training needs of my 4 year old and completely meets the needs of my 14.5 year old puppy. Finding someone who adds to your life and your pups is rare indeed. So happy she is a part of our life!!!

Umber is amazingly patient with our reactive nervous girly! She’s patient and calm, and knows the most important ways to deal with reactive dogs like letting them come to you, not making eye contact until they’re ready, etc. By the end of the visit, Hannah was cuddled up on the couch with her. We are so incredibly grateful we found her.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Edmonton 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.

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.
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.
