“Poppy always has the best time with Ella and her dogs, Ron and Otto! They play so nicely together :) Lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I wouldn’t trust anyone but her with my dog!”
“Sarah and her family did such an amazing job with our two beagles for the week. They cared for our boys with love as if they were part of the family. We got daily updates and photos and cute little notes about what the fun they were having. When we picked the boys up you could tell they had a fun engaging week, they looked so happy and healthy. We are so happy we found Sarah and will undoubtedly be booking with her again!”
“First sitter to ever invite me in their home. It gave me a sense of peace and trust, as I new where my pup would be staying and the kind of condition. Her Dog was also very welcoming to Hazel. Thank you for taking good care of Hazel.”
“This is the first time I've used Rover.com, and absolutely lucked out in finding Belinda, Brent and their son! They took amazing care of Monty while I was away and sent tons of updates and pictures totally keeping me at ease knowing that he was in great hands! Definitely will book with them next time I need to head out of town!”
“Tracy and Gregory were great to work with and took such good care of my dog, Cooper. I felt the communication was consistent, and I could tell they cared for him a lot. Super friendly. Would use them again 100%”
“Robyn and family took such amazing care of our little Marty! He was so happy, loved, and entertained. Robyn’s daily updates provided us with such a perfect snapshot of his day; we loved reading them every evening. Thanks Robyn! :)”
“Terry and Jacquie were great, Archie was well cared for during his stay with them. Communication with Terry was easy and responsive. We received updates on how Archie was doing and even after we came home, there was follow up to see how Archie was doing. We would definitely love to have Archie stay with them again.”
About: My approach is relationship-based, not management-based. I believe dogs thrive when they feel safe and can trust the person they’re with — that’s the foundation for everything. When I’m calm and present on a walk, your dog gets to just be a dog. I’m paying attention to them, their body language, and what they’re communicating, rather than constantly trying to control or manage their behaviour. That leaves room for genuine connection, curiosity, and enjoyment. I particularly enjoy spending time with social, easygoing dogs, as well as senior dogs who appreciate a calm, predictable routine. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and adapting to their pace and needs. My focus is companionship, safety, and genuinely enjoying time together — getting to know your dog for who they are, and giving them a walk or visit where they can feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for. I'm available for walks on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and for daytime pet sitting on Tuesday and Thursday. This rhythm allows me to bring calm, unhurried presence to every walk and visit — no rushing, no squeezing things in. Your dog spends the day in a calm, quiet environment with me and my own dog, Bucky — a big, gentle dog who loves other dogs. We hang out together, maybe romp in the yard or take a walk if your dog is good on leash, and mostly just enjoy quiet time while I go about my day. This works best for social, easygoing dogs who are cat-friendly and comfortable in a low-key space with another dog. It's companionship and safety while you're away — not structured activity, just peaceful presence together.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly believe they’re family. I currently have a young Goldendoodle, Benny, so I have hands-on experience with puppies and young dogs, including leash walking, basic commands, recall and crate training. I also cared for my senior dog, Norman, which gave me experience with medications, changing activity needs and the extra patience and attention older dogs deserve. I’m active and love being outdoors, so whether your pup enjoys a relaxed neighbourhood walk or a longer adventure, I’m happy to get them moving! I’ve also completed Canadian Red Cross First Aid for Dogs and Cats for added peace of mind. Most importantly, I’ll care for your dog just as I would my own — with lots of love, attention and safety. Pet care already fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home three days a week and am in the office two days. On office days, I come home at lunch to let Benny out, spend some time with him and give him a break during the day. Evenings and weekends are all about walks, playtime and getting outside, so I have plenty of availability for evening and weekend walks. If your pup is staying with me, they’ll simply become part of our routine — joining Benny for daily walks, playtime, outdoor breaks and plenty of time to relax at home. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pup is safe, happy and well cared for while they’re with me. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for safe outdoor time, and I live in a mature, walkable neighbourhood close to Edmonton’s river valley — perfect for daily walks and adventures. For overnight stays, I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so you, your pup, Benny and I can all get acquainted and make sure everyone is comfortable. While staying with me, your dog will be welcomed into our home and become part of our regular routine. I’ll care for them exactly the way I’d hope someone would care for Benny — with safety, attention and lots of love.
“Tracy looked after our pup for almost a week while we were out of town. Couldn’t be happier with her services! You can tell she is very informed, passionate, and loves animals. She gave us regularly updates and photos and handled our dog’s energetic and at times mischievous behaviour like a pro. Highly recommend if you want your pup to be in good hands :).”
“Tracy is incredible. She is such a helpful and accommodating person in our lives and Rex absolutely adores her. Can’t say enough great things about Tracy!”
“Joanne was very accommodating & it’s obvious she loves dogs. She was able to handle our unruly pup, and seemed to enjoy looking after him. Our dog was very comfortable with Joanne & would highly recommended her for anyone looking for a safe & dependable dog sitter.”
“Amazing sitter! My dog was so happy the entire time at her place. She always sent photos and kept us updated of everything that’s happening with our pet. Exceptional care!! Would highly recommend her!”
“We Sure Would Recommend Samantha to Anyone wishing to have a Dogsitter in her Home. Samantha took Excellant Care of Our Baby in her Home, she sent Us Pictures of Our Annie Every Evening, from all the Pictures we knew Annie was very Comforable in Samantha's Home!”
“This is the second time we have left Cooper with Karen and Dan and just like the first time they were great. Dan took Cooper on long walks each day. Karen also provided regular updates and pics throughout Cooper’s stay. In every way, they continue to reinforce that Cooper is in very good hands and while we miss him greatly we are confident that he is being well cared for. We will definitely use their service’s again.”
“We highly recommend Carole. It was our first time leaving Aki to a dog sitter and he loved it. My dog is an energetic puppy and glad Carole was able to manage him. Carole sent us pictures and updates of Aki which lessened our worries. We highly recommend her and will surely come back to her.”
“We had a great experience with Umber! From the enthusiasm through our initial messaging through to picking up our dog to bring her home, Umber was great. She asked lots of questions so she could be fully prepared to look after our dog. She communicated each day we were gone. She sent pictures and videos of the dog which we appreciated. Our dog didn't seem overly excited to leave Umber and to come home with us lol. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“This was our first experience with Rover. Yvonne took excellent care of our dachshund for the week we were on holidays. We got daily updates with pics. Would definitely book again and recommend her to anyone.”

I could not be happier with the service that Yasmin provided. She’s incredibly sweet and thoughtful and I’ll definitely put my cats in her care again. She was so responsive and sent updates frequently. She’s the best sitter we ever had and I can’t recommend her enough.
Rufana did such an amazing job taking care of my cat Winnie! Winnie requires medications 5 times per day and this was the first time I had used a pet sitter. Rufana put my anxious pet parent mind at ease with fabulous communication and updates about when she received her medications, if she was eating, and sent lots of photos and videos. I really appreciated all the care she provided Winnie. Rufana was flexible with pick up and drop off times and very easy to get a hold of if needed. She was so empathetic and understanding of my concerns related to Winnie’s medications and medical history. I would 100% recommend her for pet sitting and will rebook with her in the future.
I have a pack of pups. Three medium-small pups. They are very well socialized and have free reign of my house. I was happy that Zoey's home was very pet friendly. They have thier own pups and my pups got along well with hers. Her home was set up to accommodate a very lived-in pup experience. They had covers on thier sofa, like I do. She very much treated my pups as her own and I very much appreciate this gesture.
We had a great experience with Vanessa! Our dog Rhia is quite anxious in unfamiliar environments, so we really appreciated that Vanessa arranged a meet and greet before the boarding. She was very accommodating with our schedule and kept us updated throughout Rhia’s stay, including sending photos and letting us know how she was settling in. Although Rhia was initially anxious, she quickly became comfortable, enjoying cuddles, belly rubs, and walks. It was reassuring to know she was happy and well cared for while we were away. We would definitely recommend Vanessa and would happily book with her again!
Jenna-Lee was wonderful with my big lab! Odie absolutely adored staying with her. She was so loving, sent lots of photo updates, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We came home to a happy, tired, and well-cuddled Odie. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs. We'll definitely be booking again!
Ana is the best. She’s watched our babies a couple times but this was the longest while we were away on vacation. She is an excellent communicator and let us know right away if anything was even a little bit off with them and sent photos, videos and daily updates. We are so grateful so have found you, Ana! You are the best!!
My dog was in such good hands with Courtnie! I would definitely recommend her and would happily rebook with her again. I really appreciated the daily updates and the genuine care and affection she showed toward my dog. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was well taken care of!
Renee was very quick to respond to our last minute booking request and was very accommodating. We were able to leave our 12 week old Isla with peace of mind that she was in capable hands (complete with all the puppy biting and not fully house trained yet). Daily photo and even a video update was great to see!! Wouldn't hesitate to have her look after our baby again!
Casey and his wife were absolutely lovely and I’m incredibly grateful for how well they took care of my 10 year old rescue pup cubby - they were so kind and patient with her since she’s a bit anxious, and cubby settled in with them quickly and loved her tummy rubs and nice long walks. Will definitely book again and regularly!

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.
