“We were so happy to have Nathaniel walk Clover! She went on fun adventures every day, getting lots of exercise and we loved the photos that Nathaniel took. We would re-book any time.”
“Vivian was absolutely incredible. My dog, Timba, is reactive and very wary of new people. She warmed up to Vivian extremely quickly and I could tell from the photos Vivian sent that she was very happy and comfortable! I was nervous to use a new walker while I was out of town, but Vivian kept me updated with photos every 5-10 min during the walks (in addition to the rover card!). I will absolutely be booking with her again.”
“Madalynn was great for the 2 dog walks she provided. Very positive experience. She was reliable, friendly, and clearly comfortable with dogs (she has her own). Super patient with our hundreds of requests of how to care for our dog, LOL. Communication was easy/fast and I felt confident that my dog was in good hands. My dog seemed happy and well cared for after each walk. I would definitely use her services again and recommend her to others.”
“Arina is so great when she walks our pup Lizzie. All her communication is prompt and she is so great at reading doggy body language. We love the pictures she sends after their walks and I'm glad that Lizzie is in safe hands with Arina.”
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by a wide range of animals. I currently live with my dog, Hank, and two cats, Nora and Ted. I have had my dog, Hank since he was a puppy. He is now 12 years old. I am well versed in senior care. I had my cat, Charlie for 18 years, giving him medication daily to manage his high-blood pressure. Sadly, I said good-bye to Charlie three years ago. It was one of the hardest things I had to do. I have genuine love and care for senior animals after his passing. I work full time as a teacher. I am usually busy Monday-Friday during the day. However, my partner works from home. With teaching I also have a very flexible schedule when it comes to holidays and weekends! My home has a large yard. There will be plenty of walks and opportunities for play. I take my dog for 3 walks throughout the day, often spending more than two hours outside with him. I make sure my animals are mentally stimulated by providing them with puzzle toys, and engaging with them in play.
About: I’ve always been around pets (despite being allergic, cats especially have always been drawn to me) so I have plenty of experience interacting with and looking after animals of varying temperaments, ages, activity levels, personalities, and needs. I grew up with a bichon shih-tzu named Dewey and I currently have a very sweet black cat named Styx that I adopted in January 2023! I’m currently a full-time student pursuing a career in psychiatric nursing - on track to finish my program by December 2026, so over the summer when I am not taking classes, my schedule is much more flexible; from September till the end of May I am available mainly on weekends and evenings but it really depends on my schedule! I will always try my best to accommodate and help out as much as I can :) I am definitely someone who understands that trust is built over time! I will always give your pets the same love and care as I would my own - I know how hard it can be for both pets and owners when you have to spend time away from them.
About: I have experience looking after my family dog and helping raise my sister’s puppy. I have done pet sitting for friends as well. I’m not an expert at animal care, but will follow all directions and respect your pet at all times. My focus is to keep your pet happy while you are away. I love taking dogs for walks and will always clean up after them. I am a full time professional wrestlers, so my weekends are almost always busy, but that leaves my weekdays completely free and flexible most weeks. I am able to do drop ins on the day or scheduled, reoccurring visits. I will respect your pets and your home at all times. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority! I am very clean and will make sure everything is left how I found it. I will follow all directions and rules given to me.
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’m flexible, reliable, and happy to follow any specific instructions from owners, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. 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. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and care as if they were my own.
About: I have taken care of a large assortment of pets. I started dog grooming when I was 16 and did that for 20 years. I also worked at a pet store as a small animal manager. Duties included feeding, cleaning cages, engaging with a wide range of small animals, cats and birds. The department was run efficiently and I trained a small team of employees to aid in all duties. In addition to this, I also managed a grooming salon. I am able to administer medications, including injections. Pets are my sole purpose in life. I don’t have kids and I’m currently living in a no-pet home. I miss having dogs and cats. I currently snuck in a hamster named Eleanor and a fish tank with an angel fish named Jude. I have a lot of love to give and your pet will be in competent hands. My daily/weekly routine is spent loving and caring for animals. It’s not just a job, I live for it. It’s my life. I cannot have pets in my own home but I do offer pet sitting in your own home. Your pet will be comfortable in their own home as I maintain any rituals or schedules as determined by the pet’s owner. I also offer dog walking and drop in visits. I’m very thorough and will offer a great experience for your pet.
About: I had 3 Dogs and a cat growing up and I currently have 2 kitties named Bruce and Salem. I have experience with animals of all kinds and age ranges as well as abilities. I also have experience with medication administration and general training for puppies and rescues. I understand traveling can be hard when you have to leave your fur babies behind and I'm here to make that easier, I understand every animal is different and has a different personality and requires different things , I also understand missing your baby and wanting to see them so I will happily take all the pictures and videos for you that you would like. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out and I'll be happy to answer any you have. 😊 I currently have 2 cats myself so taking care of animals is something I am used to as well as the children I look after also have animals so I am always around a animal of some kind , I will be finishing my Diploma come fall. This honestly depends on the animal and what they require, but I always come in with a soft welcoming energy and animals always seem to gravitate towards me , I also understand that different animals react differently to different scents and even clothes , I'm here to work with you and your fur baby to help them thrive and be happy till you return.
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 so I 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!
“Zoe was super great to walk Jett on short notice, she is very friendly and responds quickly which is so helpful when figuring things out in a crunch. I plan to book with her again!”
“Emily was fantastic! She gave me peace of mind when I was travelling that my dogs were taken care of. (With very short notice) Love getting the pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend her.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Edmonton
Vivian was absolutely incredible. My dog, Timba, is reactive and very wary of new people. She warmed up to Vivian extremely quickly and I could tell from the photos Vivian sent that she was very happy and comfortable! I was nervous to use a new walker while I was out of town, but Vivian kept me updated with photos every 5-10 min during the walks (in addition to the rover card!). I will absolutely be booking with her again.
Absolutely thrilled with my experience with Rebbeca, she has been reliable, professional and shows genuine care for my border collie Isaac. Rebecca provides amazing photos of Isaac on his walks and its clear they have made a strong bond together. My first experience with Rebecca was also on short notice and she was incredibly responsive and understanding of my situation. If you are looking for someone caring, trustworthy and dependable I can't recommend Rebecca enough.
Aydan was a fantastic dog walker. My dog is a bit shy/anxious and Aydan really paid attention to what she needed, made sure she was comfortable, and shared little updates when my dog started to get more confident on walks. Aydan was reliable and communicated well. I would absolutely trust her to care for my dog again.
I'm so happy with Sal's services. I was out of town for a few days and my husband was working long hours, so we needed someone to come over and walk our dog. He did so right on time both days and even sent me a picture of my dog after the walk. I felt at ease knowing my dog was in good hand. Will definitely rebook in the future!
10/10 ❤️ First time using rover and I may have shed a tear watching my pup walk off with someone else on this beautiful day.. LOL. But, with some physical limitations I had to call in reinforcements (which clearly wasn’t easy for me). When they arrived home my dog was smiling so big, playing, being goofy and clearly just SO happy. I felt instantly better! She will now be walking him a few times a week. He now has a new friend and walking buddy. She has lovely energy ! (I also have a big German shepherd which can be a lot for some) so happy we have her to help out now! 🫶🏻
Keira is excellent. Friendly, accommodating, energetic, affordable, patient with my dog. He is high energy, she makes sure to run with him to provide an outlet for his energy. He comes back panting, which is always a good sign that he found his walk to be a success. The bonus for me is I get some peace and quiet because he is satisfied. Keira also spent time to play a bit with him, getting on the floor! He was thrilled 😆 I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Keira.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Edmonton on Rover is $20.33 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,171 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Edmonton. About 87% of Edmonton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Edmonton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Edmonton.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Edmonton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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 .
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.
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 walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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!
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 98% of walkers 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.
