“If I could leave an extra star I would. Samantha was Amazing, Fantastic & Incredible. She took such good care of our dog Capo and the house may have looked better when she left.

“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.”
“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.”
“Pamela was an amazing sitter! Not only is she great with my dog, but she took the time to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. She went above and beyond in every way and I greatly appreciate knowing I can leave my pup with someone I trust.”

About: I have grown up with pets all of my life. On top of being a pet parent to my own reactive dog, I fostered dogs for 5 years, have worked in a dog kennel, and assisted with a pet food bank. I am a student and I work part time with a very routine schedule. My schedule thurs-sun is very free and I am always willing to see if I can fit you into my schedule. I will defer to owners requirements and requests at all time! Dogs will remained on leash when on walks, and all needs will be attended to
“We had a great experience with Saoirse! She was fantastic with my pups and an overall kind and thoughtful person. Kept me updated the entire time with photos and my dogs were super happy when I got home ? thanks again! We will definitely ask her to come back next time we are out of town.”
“Dimitra was FABULOUS! We have never had someone outside of family watch our dog so of course we were super nervous. She cared for our dog and home as if it was her own and we came home to a super happy guy. We got picture update, saw them go on multiple walks and got pictures of them laying on the couch together. I couldn’t recommend her enough - we will 100% be contacting her next time we leave town.”
“Angie was great! This was our first time using Rover to find a dog sitter for our 2 doxies. When I reached out, she got back to me right away and explained everything. When she showed up at the house, she had a notebook taking notes everything needed for the weekend. She was very attentive with they boys, updated us on how the weekend was going. I would highly recommend her as a hoise/dog sitter.”
“Lillia was great with our doggo Winston. Our son was home in the evenings while we were away so Lillia was asked to come into our home and take care of Winston during the day. Walks, companionship. Her communication with our son to coordinate worked really well. Right from when I sent in the request for booking she was responsive always. I loved getting the pictures. Will be booking with her again.”
“We would highly recommend Lori. She looked after our senior dog over the long weekend. Lori provided daily updates and photos which was very reassuring. Not only did she take good care of our fur baby she took great care of our home. Thanks so much Lori.”
“Leonora was fantastic and her love of animals made us feel confident our dog and cat were well taken care of. She stayed at our house while we were away for one week. She sent us daily photos and updates while they were out for walks or hanging around the house. I would absolutely recommend Leonora to look after your fur babies.”
About: I've been a dog owner since the age of 10 and have experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I enjoy staying active and love taking dogs on walks, hikes, and outdoor adventures. I'm currently completing a master's program at the University of Alberta, which gives me flexibility during the day for walks, drop-ins and pet care. My evenings and weekends are also open and I love spending time walking around the river valley. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your routines closely to ensure consistency and minimize stress. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to create a dependable, active and enjoyable care for your furry family.

Pamela was an amazing sitter! Not only is she great with my dog, but she took the time to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. She went above and beyond in every way and I greatly appreciate knowing I can leave my pup with someone I trust.
Thank you, Anick, for taking such great care of our pup! It was his first time receiving this kind of care, and we truly appreciated how kind and attentive you were. The consistent updates, willingness to stay back as long as needed and flexibility with our last-minute schedule changes gave us great peace of mind. We’re very grateful for the wonderful care you provided!
We couldn't be happier with the care Judy provided for our dog, Sadie, while we were away. From the moment we left, we knew Sadie was in loving and capable hands. The daily photos and updates were such a thoughtful touch. Seeing Sadie happy and relaxed each day gave us real peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and are so grateful for everything she did. She watered our flowers, picked up after Sadie and left house perfect. We highly recommend Judy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring 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!!!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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, a background 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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 .

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
