“Samantha went over and beyond. The care she showed for my Yorkie and the consistent follow-up with photos and text was unexpected and admirable. Knowing my dog was in great hands let me RELAX while I was away. Doggone it…I was IMPRESSED.”
“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.”
“Leann is an absolute angel of a pet and house sitter. She was very accommodating with my senior, high needs pet and also took great care of the home while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or have her stay again. Thank you, Leann!”
“Carmen was wonderful with our pets! She sent regular updates and I felt very comfortable having her take care of our home and animals! The house was spotless when we returned home. We will definitely be hiring Carmen again!”
“Denis was an excellent sitter for our 3yr old Golden, Coda. They hit it off right away and Coda got lots of cuddles and play time while we were away for the long weekend. I highly recommend Denis and will definitely use his services again.”
“I was nervous to leave for a night without my dogs. Ava had fantastic communication while we were away and kept me up to date. When I came home my puppies were happy and seemed to be at ease. Unfortunately she had to deal with my dog making a mess, and she dealt with it without any hesitation and was understanding. 10/10 Would recommend!”
“Adrianna came to my house and stayed 2 nights over Christmas! My dogs absolutely adored her and from the many update photos she sent me, they were at complete ease! Being this is my first time away from them I also had ease with the constant updates and easy communication! Would definitely recommend Adrianna for your pet sitting needs!!”
“Lacey stayed at our place and took care of Stanley for 10 days while we were on vacation. She was a great companion for Stanley. She kept in touch with us with daily emails and texts with photos of Stanley. She is highly recommended and we would use her again.”
“Catherine is amazing! As a first-time fur mama, I was very anxious about leaving our sweet Carl for 10 days. Once our meet and greet was done, I had a wonderful feeling about the care Catherine would provide for our cat over spring break. Not only did Catherine exceed all our expectations, we had daily photos and videos updating us on what Carl was up to, messages letting us know what he had eaten and how much soft food/kibble he had, information on his outdoor supervised adventures, and how well he slept. Catherine also left our home very clean and tidy. Our neighbours also commented on how attentive and caring Catherine was on Carl’s daily outside/walk times. We will definitely be having Catherine back to care for our sweet cat!”
“Andrea stayed with our two dogs over the holidays. They were well cared for and seemed to really like Andrea. Our house was left immaculate! We would definitely recommend her and will certainly book with her again. Thanks, Andrea!”
About: I grew up with animals since a young age, my family always had dogs and every summer I’d spend months out at my godmother’s farm helping take care of all kinds of animals including a barn full of cats. Professionally I was employed as a groomer/doggy daycare attendant so im well versed in handling animals of all sizes and temperaments! Currently between jobs just trying to make ends meet in a way that brings joy and allows others to know their babies are safe at home while they’re out living life. I’m recently unemployed so I’ve got nothing but time on my hands! I enjoy going for daily walks on my own so I would have no problem having a pet join me on my day. Following whatever guidelines they have set up for their pets! I will hang out with them and take good care of them no matter where we are!
About: I have committed to taking care of my little guy., Annie. He is a bundle of joy and always fun to be around and to be honest we want him to have a little buddy with him from time to time :-) I get one hour lunches every day so I can definitely see myself being able to walk your dog. I’m pretty athletic so I can handle bigger dogs and have handled bigger dogs. Preferably, I would only allow a cat into my home as I have a cat whos very jumpy but I’m always open to dog walking.
“Sara was great. I had a few changes to my itinerary and she was very accommodating. Charlie hung out with her the whole time and he was very happy with her. My house looked the same as when I left. I will definitely contact Sara next time I have to be away from home.”

Highly recommend Nathan He was great with our two dogs. They are were not used to staying with someone they didn’t know and the fact that he was able to stay at our house and made our dogs feel safe and comfortable was so appreciated. We used Nathan 3 times this summer and we will definitely reach out to Nathan again in the future
Denis was amazing with my 10-year-old rescue Cubby! We had a lovely meet and greet where he immediately bent down to greet her and she was instantly comfortable with him :) Sent great updates and pictures, was so accommodating with the fact that I couldn't leave a fob (my building only gives one) and used the buzzer when taking her out for walks, and even sent a picture of a package that arrived for me. He gave me feedback on how she did which was so kind - as she's older and a bit sensitive and we just moved here. She was a very happy pup spending time with Denis!! Will book again asap. Thank you!
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!
This was our second time having Adrianna house/dog sit and we couldn’t recommend her more. She’s so friendly and communicative and I feel so comfortable having her in our home and watching our dog. We’re often nervous as our dog is dog-reactive but she has no problem handling the challenge and we know our dog, Molly, loves chilling with Adrianna
Finn had such a great stay with Pamela. From the moment they met, I could tell she was calm, patient, and genuinely cared about making him feel comfortable. She kept me updated with photos and thoughtful messages throughout his stay, and it was clear she was paying attention to his personality and routine, not just watching him. He came home happy and relaxed, and even looked back for her when she left, which says a lot. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Pamela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable 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!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Edmonton on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
