“I've never put norman in a kennel or anything and was very hesitant using this app. Marie was awesome with the updates to help ease my mind n norman got treated very well!! I plan on using Marie again in the future! I am sure norman looks forward to it too!”

“Ana is a complete lifesaver. We had major renovations start in our home earlier than expected and my dog is 14 years old this month. No way I could leave hom at home with strangers making sounds at all hours of the day! She was able to take him in last minute, and provided many updates, photos, and videos throughout the day. Honestly, he is so excited to go he screams when he knows we are almost there. She takes better care of him that I probably do. I highly recommend Ana. She is really nice, takes great care of animals, and clearly loves them. Even my old mop of a boy.”

“Thank you so much for looking after our little pup. She was very happy to be in your home. We appreciated the updates, and the photos. Your communication was top-notch. Loki was sound asleep when we picked her up so obviously she was comfortable in your home. Thank you again.”

“Katrina and Ryan are an amazing couple who provided day sitting to my energetic young lab on a number of occasions. My pup comes home happy, healthy, tired and is eager to return for more fun each time. They provide a safe, loving environment for my pup and report on her daily activities/progress with photos. I trust them and highly recommend them. I will continue to use their services and promote them to others.”

“Very happy with the daycare that was provided to my puppy for 3 days. I received constant updates, pictures, videos and communications. This allowed me the peace of mind my Zoey was in great hands. I could genuinely notice that they love animals as well and were excited to spend time with my puppy. Would book again!”


About: I’d love to care for your pup with walks, visits, or overnight hang-outs! I work from home most of the time (setting my own schedule for days in the office) and will be able to spend tons of time with your pup with very few and flexible exceptions. We have our own pup, a young golden retriever who is very social and confident and silly. He plays and gets along really well with other dogs! Dogs who are well behaved, relaxed, and mellow are my favourite, but I love pups who have more energy as long as they listen really well and are gentle and kind :) We can go for walks in our quiet and safe neighbourhood and in the huge field outside our front door, and we can hangout together in our paved and closed off backyard! We are pretty mellow people and love having a pup around to walk and adventure with and to snuggle and chill with. I do not take dogs who do not walk well on a leash (unrelenting pulling is a no-go, but they also don’t have to be perfect or beside me the whole time - they can certainly sniff and explore and enjoy themselves), who are loud (consistent barking or whining), who have destructive separation anxiety, or who are aggressive with or have issues with other dogs or people (reactivity). If you’re in need of a sitter for a longer duration, it’s best if your dog would be comfortable in an office environment where other dogs may be present. It’s easier to accommodate longer stays if I can bring them with me to work, though I am able to work from home any time and certainly over shorter stays. Safety is my top priority followed closely by having fun! When outside I’ll keep your dog on a leash unless we are hanging out together in our closed off backyard.
“Korinna thank you for watching Ezio while I was gone at work. It was so nice knowing he was so well cared for. The pictures were so great to receive. House was cozy and she also make the effort to take my puppy for a walk. Thank you so much for your service, would definitely book you again. Thanks again for putting my worries at ease.”

“Eunika was amazing with Dottie. Eunika was very communicative and sent photos/videos during the day so I was kept up to date. I was able to enjoy my visit in Edmonton with my parents knowing that Dottie was in good hands. I will definitely use her again when I am in Edmonton again.”

About: I have had dogs in my home since I was born, but have owned my own for five years now. From my childhood dog Farley (a cocker spaniel) to my current dog Daisy (a lab/basset hound cross) I’ve been exposed to all different types of dogs of all ages, and love them all! I work fully remote from home (which my dog Daisy loves!) so am available to care for your animals at any point throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard and a very friendly dog of my own to keep your pet company. I also have ample space in my home to give your pet their own space if they prefer.
“Such a fantastic experience. Jayson is a genuine person who treated our Sully with love and care. He sent photos regularly and communicated effectively with us on an ongoing basis.”

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life, I have experience raising puppies and have cared for senior dogs, and are more than happy to accommodate your pets needs. Are you looking for a loving home to board your pet while you travel? Board your pet with me! I am home full-time, which allows me to dedicate my full attention to your pet. I have spent my life around and caring for animals, from walking our family's greyhound to round the clock care of and bottle feeding a stray kitten we found who was just a few weeks old. I am dedicated, kind and love animals. With a large, fully fenced back yard, there is plenty of room for your pet to play when weather permits. And best of all, I offer pick up and drop off service for clients living in the Edmonton area. In my fully funished basement dedicated to pet friendly boarding in my home, I use pet-safe products to keep the space clean. If you'd like to take a tour of my pet sitting space, I'm happy to offer a walk through at your convenience. I live with my significant other, Janaya. Together, we are parents to 4 fur babies (3 cats and a dog). Our pets live upstairs. My pet-sitting space is separated by a door between the main floor and basement, allowing me to focus on your pet completely during boarding.
“I can’t say enough good things about our experience! My 2yr old St. Bernard spent the day with lovely Brenda, and he was clearly in caring, capable hands from start to finish. She kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was a warm day, and she made sure he stayed cool, well-fed, and hydrated. He also got two nice walks in, which I know he appreciated! Her gentle, attentive nature really shone through, and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her care for him again. Highly recommend!”

“Joshua has watched Duke for me multiple times before, and this time he was able to help out with my two cats on short notice. He was flexible, communicated well, and even helped with pickup and drop-off, which made things much easier for me. I really appreciated him being available when I needed it and I'm always happy to book with him!”

I have lots of experience with dog AND cat walking as well as grooming (especially for the hairless variety) needs. I got the energy to keep up with the pups & kittens, also got the calm down button and able to just hang out and keep your older loved ones safe and happy. Any questions just reach out I’m new to Edmonton, moved from Vancouver. Pet care is what I do full time so my schedule is very accommodating to your pet needs.

About: I have 13 years of experience with dogs of different ages, breeds, and different health conditions. I have a 5 year old Affenpinscher with Patellar Luxation and Pancreatitis. My dog in the past also had Dementia, a heart condition, and poor eyesight in her remaining eye. I’m able to give eye drops and oral medication if needed, please provide thorough written medication instructions. I’ve had volunteer experience in a dog salon and animal shelter. I’m able to bathe, dry, and brush your pups if needed (at no extra charge), if they require a special shampoo/conditioner please let me know, and send it with during their stay. I have an assortment of brushes and combs, so you don’t need to pack any, unless you’d prefer your pups to be brushed with their own brushes (your own brushes and combs will not be shared with other dogs). I am not a trainer, but have some experience with dog agility training, and basic obedience (sit, lay down, stay, leave it), so I can help maintain those cues during their stay. I have a 5 year old Affenpinscher, who loves making new doggy friends to play with. *NO PRIVATE bookings. ALL bookings MUST be made through the Rover website/app/company. ALL updates (photos and messages) during booking will be sent through the Rover app. as well. *I do all of my meet and greets at the same location, the Grand Trunk/Lauderdale off leash dog park, in the small dog fenced area. I require a meet and greet for ALL NEW clients. *Please provide veterinarian information as well, such as name/location/address and phone number. In case of emergency dogs will be taken to the nearest vet clinic.* I’m happy to provide reference upon request. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to send me a message. (: I can be home full time for dogs that need extra care and are unable to be left by themselves. The only time I’d have to leave is for an appointment. I have a fully fenced backyard with a ramp up and down the dead for dogs that have trouble walking. I monitor doggy’s while they are in the backyard. If you’d like your doggy to be crated at night and/or when left at home, please provide their own kennel/crate. I send photos and updates of your doggy to you, but you’re welcome to message to check in as much as you’d like. For safety precautions all collars are only worn while we are on a walk or in the backyard (I monitor the entire time). Collars are taken off at night and if I need to step out of the house for a bit.
About: I was raised with cats and dogs and partially responsible for their training and care. I have been a pet sitter in my own home for many years. I'm very good with animals. I'm one of those people that even shy animals like me. I'm very good with leading/handling any size dog. I work from home and my job doesn't require me to work full time. I have plenty of time and I love animals. However, I am a night owl and only free afternoons, evenings, and nights. I provide visits and walks in which your pets will be fed, watered, and socialized with. I can also provide care to any additional exotic pets.
“As I was frantically searching for a dog-sitter with little to no notice, Jeremy reached out to me during my emergency late at night and was more than happy to help me in my time of need anticipating an early morning drop-off. He and his wife were very accommodating to my situation and the needs of my Scout and were able to give me peace of mind throughout the day with various updates and such wonderful pictures and videos. I was immediately comfortable with Jeremy as soon as I met him and knew my pet was in great hands which of course was further confirmed when I picked up Scout at the end of the day and met his wife as well who also had a huge part in Scout's day. I could tell Scout was very happy to be with them both and that he got lots of attention and playtime. I immediately booked a second day for them to help myself get caught up and would definitely recommend Jeremy's home to anybody looking for an amazing pet-sitter!”

Dylan and his roommates are AWESOME! My baby girl always comes home so happy and exhausted from all the playtime, walks, and love and care they give her. I’m so grateful to these guys for taking such great care of her. I’m so happy I found this gem for big dogs in Edmonton! Highly recommend! ❤️

Keith is an amazing dog sitter! He is trustworthy, reliable and has good communication. He watched our pup for the day and gave us regular updates with pictures and videos (which we absolutely loved!). It was easy to communicate with him and he is professional and I can tell he loves dogs and cares for them well. Brownie was a happy pup when I picked him up and I'm sure he's looking forward to his next visit with Keith! I would highly recommend Keith for dog sitting!

Zoey did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Mia. She was very communicative, always responsive, and kept me updated with photos and videos, which made me feel very comfortable. Mia can be a bit anxious, but she handled her perfectly and cared for her with so much love. I would absolutely trust Zoey again and highly recommend her.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Edmonton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Edmonton is $33 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $49 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 394 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Edmonton. About 90% 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.
Help your dog become familiar with the day-care environment before their first full day. Arrange a Meet & Greet so they can visit the sitter’s home, meet the sitter and any resident pets, and explore the space while you are there. This can make the environment feel more familiar and help you and the sitter confirm that the setup is right for your dog.
Pack anything you and the sitter have agreed your dog will need, such as:
- Their usual food and approved treats, with feeding instructions
- Medication, with clear dosage instructions, if needed
- Their collar or harness and other walking equipment
- Familiar comfort items, such as a blanket or favourite toy
- Any seasonal gear they may need
On the day of the booking, keep your dog’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including their usual meal, toilet break, and some light exercise. Keep drop-off calm and brief, which may help make the transition easier.
If your dog is shy, nervous, or needs more time to adjust to unfamiliar places, ask whether a shorter introductory stay is possible before their first full day.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. Every sitter on Rover has their own routine and some may offer flexible activities suited for your dog. 95% of sitters in your city can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays.
These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Edmonton commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AB ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
