“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.”
“Finley had such an amazing day! Marie is wonderful. She took such good care of our pup on his 1st day in the dayhome. She sends videos and photos and is always watching the dogs she is caring for. We are so thankful! Best choice we ever made!”
“Rufana was very attentive and welcoming of my dog. She followed all my care notes and instructions and provided regular updates and photos. Thank you so much Rufana! Would definitely book with you again”
“Ella is kind and caring. She really helped us out by taking care of Sully for the day. He had a great time and she made every effort to ensure we were kept up to date on his stay with her. We will definitely visit again.”

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!

“I'm so thankful to have found Jodeen. From the start she made the doggy daycare process so easy. Great communication, straight forward setup. When I'm at the office I'm so glad Dolly, my dog, had somewhere wonderful to hang out with her doggy pals.”
“We used their doggycare services again because our pup loves to go there. They are nice family and always respond promptly to all messages to make sure we have peace of mind.”
“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.”
“Marissa took care of our two very different dogs, a 14 week old puppy and a 16 year old senior for 2 daytime house sitting visits. She was prompt in communication, arrived on time and clearly cared for our dogs ensuring they were happy and well looked after. We came home to two tired and content pups, and she even cleaned up after a couple accidents. We were happy with her care but more proactive updates and clarifying questions would have helped put us at ease. Overall she did a great job!”
“Left Kuma here for the first time today, he had a blast! Joshua provides a safe and loving space for the dogs and able to cater to a puppies needs. He gave regular updates and ensured Kuma had a ton of fun with the upmost care. Would definitely bring him back here 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.
“Christine was great, I had my puppy Tofu in doggy daycare with her for a few days & she provided updates throughout the day & my pupper never wanted to leave her puppy Winnie at the end of the day! I would highly recommend!!”
“We were SO happy with the care Umber provided for Maple! She was incredibly responsive and extremely knowledgeable on dog behaviour and training and ensuring our pup felt comfortable and safe in a new environment. Blue and Honey are so sweet and so well behaved and Maple had a ton of fun with them!! She gained two new besties! We would absolutely recommend Umber to anyone.”

Rufana was great with Nova! She sent lots of photos and videos throughout her stay, which I really appreciated. She also took Nova for a walk at the park and was actively engaging with her rather than just passively having her in her care. It was clear that Nova was getting attention, exercise, and quality time, which I really appreciated. Overall, I was very happy with Rufana’s care and would definitely recommend her!
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.
Paloma was amazing! I’m so happy we found her. The most important thing for me was that my puppy was excited to see her every morning. She took such good care of him, made sure he got his walks, and even worked on teaching him some commands. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend Paloma to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Edmonton on Rover is $31.08 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 392 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.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 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.
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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
