“It was a pleasure to have Sam house/cat-sit for my little Hazel-nut. Sam was very responsive, thoughtful, friendly, kind, responsible, reliable and did a wonderful job. She sent fun updates and photos of Hazel which was very much appreciated. She was also patient with Hazel when she bapped and knocked over her tablet because she wanted attention and to be fed waaaayyyy too early. Sam was very considerate and washed her bedding and towels, which wasn’t expected but a very thoughtful thing to do. I would definitely recommend Sam and I would also book her again. Thank you Sam! -Hazel & Harmony 😻”
“Andrea is such a wonderful pet sitter! She took the time to meet our pup beforehand, and was so calm and patient as our anxious and shy pup became comfortable with her. While pet-sitting, she sent us updates with lots of pictures and we could tell that our pup adored her! We would absolutely recommend Andrea!”
“Zoe took great care of our Jasper and our home. She graciously got his pills into him even when he was a grump and she sent lots of updates and pictures to keep us in the loop while we were away.”
“Adrianna was a wonderful pet sitter to our two cats and dog! She spent the days at our home and provided daily updates with photos. When one of our cats had a medical issue while we were away, Adrianna kept us informed, communicated clearly and even offered to take her to the vet which provided so much peace of mind. We arrived home to a clean house and pets who were clearly loved and cared for. We would happily hire her again! Thanks for everything Adrianna”
“I can't say enough amazing things about Angie. She sent me photos everyday I was away. I loved during our meet and greet that she brought a note book with her to take notes and no other pet sitter did that, it's why I picked her and that Wookie liked her. Angie was here for 11 days and my cat Wookie loves her. Angie is so sweet and caring. I really can't recommend her enough. I will always use Angie for my pet sitting needs.”
“Damicka did a wonderful job dog sitting my slightly shy and anxious large dog for a long weekend. She is responsible, friendly and her communication was excellent. My dog was comfortable with her and it was nice to know she was in good hands while I was away. I would absolutely book dog sitting with Damicka again.”
“Carmen took care of our cat and 2 dogs. She was wonderful with them. She lots of love and sent pictures and videos. She even washed bedding when our cat had an accident. Will be using her again!”
“Nathaniel watched my dogs at my home for a week while I was gone on vacation. He was the best house/ dog sitter I've had. Very responsive and took care of my house and 2 large dogs while I was gone. He went above and beyond...”

“Denis did an excellent job of looking after Theo while I was gone for the day. He was punctual, professional and pleasant. I was a little worried that Theo would have trouble settling after I left as he does have some separation anxiety, but Denis helped him feel safe and they had a great day together. I will definitely be booking again :D”

“Robin was a great cat sitter and took good care of our boys. She was in touch all throughout our trip, making us enjoy our vacation knowing our cats were well taken care of. We came back home to a clean house and happy cats. We would use her again.”
“Maple loved her time with Leann! She got lots of attention and plenty of walks - and I got lots of photos! Maple was happy and settled when I got home and Leann left my apartment in great shape. Leann handled my big dog with skill. I recommend her and would definitely use her services again.”

Sam took care of our large and somewhat anxious dog and we are so happy we found her! Sam sent great pictures of Juniper and was extremely responsive to all messages. We could tell from the photos that our dog had made a new best friend. We came home to a very happy dog and a well taken care of home. We would hire Sam again and would highly recommend her.
Right from the first meet and greet we ( 2 large dogs and myself) all felt very settled and comfortable with Pam. We were away for 2 weeks and received regular updates on our dogs. Pam is reliable, punctual and has a calm energy that we all appreciated. We returned home to find our dogs and home looking well cared for. I can honestly say that our dogs loved her and we will all look forward to her next visit. If you are anxious about leaving your fur babies we would highly recommend Pam. Thanks Pam 💕
Saghar is so kind and loving! My pup warmed up to her quickly and she is very thorough with her care and providing updates. My dog is deaf and blind and she made him feel very safe and comfortable in a short amount of time. We will definitely book with her again!
It was great having Adrianna looking after our 2 cats while we were on vacation. She took good care our house and our cats, making sure they were happy, well-fed, and loved while we were away. Our home was also spotless when we returned, and everything was exactly as we left it. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring house and pet sitter.
Ashton did a fantastic job! I came home to a clean and tidy house, my lawn was mowed, and my pets looked well. He took the time to do some training with my young dog who was struggling with anxiety. I don't know what Ashton did, but my dog is relaxed and happy! It's an amazing and wonderful change. I definitely would rebook with Ashton.
Jessica and Keziah took such wonderful care of our beloved cat Timber and our home while we were away. Timber isn’t your typical cat, he loves to be around people. They made sure that he had company, cuddles, play time and cares It was so nice to see what they were up to and picture of my boy. Thank you Jessica and Keziah!!!
Sara took really good care of Winston and Fin. They bounded with her right away and were zen throughout the stay. She’s professional, friendly, provides regular updates, fed Winston’s supplements twice a day and spent her time caring and entertaining them. I will definitely rebook with Sara and recommend her for your next house sitting needs.
Aline was the best pet sitter we could have asked for! We adopted Bubba not too long ago, so we weren’t sure how he would react staying with someone else. To our surprise, Bubba has never seemed so loved, cared for, and comfortable while we were away. We absolutely loved receiving all the pictures and videos. They gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our trip worry-free, knowing he was in such great hands. As a bonus, not only did Aline take care of Bubba, but we also came home to a spotless house. That’s certainly not something we expected or that comes with pet sitting. Bubba can’t wait to hang out with Aline again! 🥰
Rachel is the best. She was so great with my dogs. She is excellent at communication and really took care of my dogs while she was here. She helped me out of a tough situation when I had to extend my stay out of town. Austin and bunny were in great hands and can't wait to hang out with her again!
This was our first time having someone housesit for us, and Megan made the process so easy! We have a new kitten who gets quite anxious when we leave, and Megan did an awesome job keeping her entertained and content. She provided the appropriate amount of updates on the cats and was super responsive throughout. We are super grateful to Megan for taking care of our little ones (and our house) - highly recommend!
10/10! Nadia did a fantastic job watching over our home and animals while we were out of the country for 10 days. We have a very energetic, 80 pound golden doodle and senior cat. Nadia followed their routines to a T and sent the loveliest updates. It was clear they were happy, well exercised and given lots of love when we returned. Our new go to sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Edmonton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Edmonton on Rover is $51.06 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 648 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Edmonton. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Edmonton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Edmonton walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
