“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.”
“We are so grateful to these two for taking care of our pups and taking them for walks while we were away! Our dogs love you guys, and we really appreciated the detailed updates and all the photos. Reliable, trustworthy, friendly and we will be booking again regularly”
“Ella is a great walking companion for our husky Sulley! She was there when we needed some extra help in a pinch and it helps that she's right in our neighbourhood! Ella definitely has a love for animals and I would definitely book her services again!”
“Alana is great with Oso and has been great working around the construction going on at my front door! Oso can be a a real stubborn dude and she just rolls with it. Its so much appreciated”
“Cari was fantastic with my dog. She was to knowledgeable and patient with him. She was punctual and reliable; stopped in once a day for five days straight to give him companionship and exercise. 12/10 would recommend.”
“Miranda did amazing from the very first meet!! She was kind and immediately greeted my puppy! She listened to when Luna does on walks and what she needs and understood! Will definitely be going back to her!!”
“Niki took my dog for walks while I could not due to doctor’s orders. Fred got so excited whenever she came to pick him up! She is prompt and very pleasant and I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have grown up with large dogs my entire life and I have experienced with dogs as young as a few months old to seniors. I’m looking to walk and look after dogs in the Dovercourt area. I am a college student therefore my schedule is flexible and I am available during the day and weekends. At home I give my dog lots of love and attention and take him on at least two walks a day and provide whatever else he needs and requires.
“Madalynn is so awesome! She's communicative, takes care of my boy as if he were her own, and she is incredibly accommodating. I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
“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!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Samana. Our dog loves her and enjoyed going for walks with her. Samana is so friendly and accommodating, and she was extremely punctual and sent us lots of picture and videos from her walks with Ollie. She’s a very responsive communicator and we felt very comfortable with her taking care of our fur baby. We will definitely be re-booking with Samana!”
“Made a mistake in my booking and she went the extra mile to make it work and make sure my fur baby was still taken care of. Will definitely have her walk my dog again”
About: I’ve had dog since I was 5 Judy a german Shepard winifred an American Stanford terrier Edger a Pom pug genius and since his passing at 14 from cancer a 7 month old chihuahua pug who adores playing sith my sisters alpha shitzu who keeps up delisted being physically disabled I currently work part-time from home and set my work hours. My dogs have never been entirely alone. I can schedule and arrange my other obligations to match what is needed. I strive to maintain training continuity and avoid disrupting their current routine as much as possible, regardless of the setting. I believe staying in their familiar environment inherently minimizes the disruption they feel while your away, but I promise to provide the same level of dedication and care. And if more outdoor time is the goal im always happy to accommodate long dog park requests
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: Hello my name is Jackie and I am a caring, responsible adult with a full-time job, I am currently taking a break from work and therefore have lots of free time to spend with your pets! I have always had many pets growing up and I have yet to meet pets that haven’t loved me, and vice versa. Due to my current living situation I cannot have a pet right now but I would love to come into your home and take care of your fur babies while you are away! I have experience pet and house sitting for multiple families the last 10 years and would be happy to give you some references upon request :) I always believe the easiest transition for your pet while you are away is to keep them in their own homes(familiar surroundings) and to keep up with their daily routines. Your dog will be busy with long walks, going to the park(if ok), play time and endless love and pets. Your cat will receive lots of treats and playtime if they like that kind of thing.I have experience watching pets of all ages and sizes , please contact me as I would love to touch base with you on how I can meet your pets needs I am currently on a leave from work as I work in a very stressful environment in healthcare and therefore have a ton of free time to care for your pets! I currently live in apartment that does not accept pets therefore it would be best for me to care for them in your home! As an added bonus, you will receive a house sitter! Your pets will feel comfortable and safe in their own environment and keeping up with their daily routines

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Edmonton
These ladies were amazing! Rosie absolutely loved her walks with them. Communication was excellent, they were reliable, and they were an absolute pleasure to work with. I always felt confident that Rosie was in great hands. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of her!
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! 🫶🏻

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Edmonton on Rover is $20.33 per walk (as of August 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 1,129 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Edmonton. About 85% 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
- 98% 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.
