“Sarah will be dogsitting for us this weekend so I scheduled a few drop-ins ahead of time so she could meet our dog, Leo. She was so good with him and completely knew how to respond to his anxiety and reactive behaviour. By the time she left, I think he may have liked her more than me :) My mind is now at ease as we go on vacation. I highly recommend Sarah, particularly for anxious and/or reactive dogs. I'm sure she can easily handle chill dogs too!”


“Whitney is amazing, simply the best, she goes above and beyond. She helped us navigate a tricky situation and always cared for our pets, we will for sure be calling her again as my cat and dog loved her!”


“Angie was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She responded to my message right away - we were thankfully able to book her at the last minute, she came over for a meet-and-greet the next day. Angie is an incredibly kind and caring and thoughtful and compassionate human and she did an amazing job with our 2 furry family members (cats Mochi and Hiro). Her updates made our day while we were away and gave us so much peace of mind and heart! It was clear that our precious little ones absolutely loved Angie - her loving and positive spirit was impossible for them to resist. She really did a great job of taking the time to bond with them and play with them. I felt guilty that I wasn't playing with them as well as their Auntie Angie did. Thank you Angie for showing our furry family members so much love and compassion. If you want a responsible and reliable sitter that is amazing with animals and will take exceptional care of your furry loved ones, I strongly recommend that you reach out to Angie - you won't regret it!”


“lisa was great with my kitty giving her lots of cuddles and playtime and sending me lots of pictures and updates while i was away. she was professional and communicative and reliable. i would absolutely use her again!!”


“This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Jody gave us peace of mind, sent us photos and followed directions. Our pup was happy to have her here! Will definitely book with Jody again.”


“As usual, Alecia provided excellent care for my cats. She visited the kitties multiple times a day to check in, feed, change the litter and provide snuggles. She was quick to notice when one kitty was not feeling well and administered medication as necessary. This helped my kitty who was in pain and not eating. She perked right up and was back to herself. Alecia let me know right away about the situation and I was glad to know she was there to provide comfort and care. I would highly recommend her, especially as she has compassion and knowledge for senior cats.”



About: I have loved dogs all my life! Last year I volunteered at the SPCA as a dog walker for a few months. Previous to my time at the Edmonton SPCA when I lived in Toronto I helped to raise a service puppy and socialize her for a year. I am big on walks and exploring the city. Whether rain, shine, or even snow, I am ready to go out there. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds, including ones with reputations for being more difficult. I am available every evening for taking dogs for walks or stopping by for visits, including weekends, and am available during normal work hours Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday at any time. I can do house sitting on weekends.

About: My family has fostered for our local humane society for years so I’ve become very comfortable looking after animals. I am comfortable looking after any kind of dog— big or small, puppy or old-timer, hyper or lowkey! Many of the dogs I’ve helped foster have needed medication/ had special needs, so I am comfortable dealing with any pups that need some special attention (obviously to an extent— I am good with wrapping a pill in cheese, but will likely not be comfortable administering any shots/needs and more intense types of care) I also have a good baseline of training, so if you have things you are working on with your dog (ie. heeling on walks, sit/stay, etc) I can make sure that I am being consistent with how your training them when you’re gone. I will always make sure your dog is happy and healthy when I’m with them! I am currently only working part time so my afternoons and evenings are free most days! If you need someone to take your dog for a quick walk at noon, or someone to watch them while you’re out for the evening, I’m your gal! I am very flexible in terms of scheduling, I just ask that you are clear with communication and try to reach out about changes ahead of time I will make sure to follow any/all instructions you have when watching your pet at home/ or taking them out. If there are special things to pay attention to please make sure to tell me (ie. need to be put on a longline while in the yard, dog will dig under fence if not watched, should avoid any other pets and/or people on walks, etc.)

“This was the first time I've left Bee all by herself and she was well loved and content when I returned. David sent me photos for every check-in and took time to play with her and talk to her. I highly recommend him; he put my mind at ease and I could enjoy my vacation.”


“Urbah did a great job taking care of my two cats! She took lots of notes and writes a detailed list of everything that is requested of her so there is no miscommunication, texts are answered in a timely manner. Thank you Urbah!”


About: I’ve had two awesome dogs since I was 8, so I’ve been through the puppy zoomies and the senior slow-mo! Add in my time at PetValu, and I’ve met every kind of dog personality out there. I’ve got the energy, patience, and love to keep tails wagging! As a work from home individual, my schedule is super open the rest of the week. Pet care fits in perfectly — I have plenty of time, energy, and love to give, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and safe — whether that means walks, feedings, playtime, or just chill company. I keep things clean, follow instructions closely, and make sure your pet gets lots of love and attention. I treat every home and pet with care, like they’re my own!

“Our two cats have some complex needs and Jennifer ensured she had all the details correct which was much appreciated. We also loved all the great photos she sent of them.”


About: Love dogs & cats! I provide one on one care to your pet/pets. Available to walk & can board small dogs in my home. I live in the city center. I am currently retired & have broad availability, early mornings, afternoon, & evening! I enjoy the outdoors in all seasons & keeping fit. Excellent references. I live 5 mins walk from the river valley in city centre Edmonton where there are miles of trails that I love to explore. I live a very active lifestyle & having a dog as company is a bonus!

“It's obvious that Nicole loves animals and I am very happy that I chose her to look after my boy while I was gone for 4 days. The pictures, videos and updates she sent eased my worry about leaving him. It was my first trip away from him, so I really appreciate that. Would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting/care needs.”


About: I have been involved in caring for canines since a young age, beginning with assisting my grandparents and uncle with the care of their high energy Border Collies from age 10. I have experience with grooming, feeding, walking, and playing with a variety of dogs of all shapes and sizes! I work casually, so my schedule is wide open to assist you in the daily care of your pets! I am happy to do overnights, check ins, meal times and walking. Respecting and honoring your home and your pets are my top priority! Allow me to help you better your day to day life by providing for your pets when it's hard to find the time.

About: Growing up surrounded by furry friends, I’ve had a deep love for animals for as long as I can remember. Meeting a new dog always makes my day—I genuinely get excited to connect with each one and learn their unique personality. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, from playful puppies to wise seniors. Friends and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like they’re my own. I also have a beagle who’s been with me since she was a pup—she’s now almost 12, so I understand the patience, gentleness, and special attention senior dogs sometimes need. I’m passionate about giving back, and I volunteer at animal shelters whenever I can. I’m also a huge nature lover, so combining my love of the outdoors with the company of a four-legged friend just makes sense. What sets me apart is my ability to tune in to each dog’s comfort level and needs—whether that means taking it slow with a nervous pup, playing with high energy dogs, or simply being a calming presence. I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, cared for, and happy—like they’re part of my own pack. I’m currently out of school and working part-time weekdays from 11–3, so I’m free for fun adventures in the mornings, evenings, and all weekend long! I’m a big fan of the great “a-bark-doors” and love turning every walk into a pawsitive experience. I’ve got a friendly beagle at home who’s always thrilled to meet new sniffing partners too. Whether it’s a casual stroll or a full-on sniffari, I’m here to make your furry friend’s day a little more fetch-ing! I always respect each dog’s space—especially if we’re just meeting. But if they want cuddles, playtime, or belly rubs, I’m all in! I never force interaction and pay close attention to body language, especially with shy or unsure pups. I understand every dog has their own quirks, routines, and dietary needs, and I follow the owner’s instructions to a T. When it comes to walks, I match their pace—whether it’s full-speed zoomies, slow-and-steady sniff stops, or lots of breaks. I vibe with whatever makes your dog happiest. I live near the river valley and Buena Vista Dog Park, which means easy access to fun outdoor adventures. At home, I have a big fenced backyard for safe playtime and a huge front window for your pup to enjoy some doggy “reality TV.” Whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or just chillin’ on the couch, I’m here to give your dog exactly the care and attention they want—nothing more, nothing less.

She is so utterly trustworthy, kind, totally practical, notices everything, I know I can go to work/holidays relaxed knowing she will take utmost care of my fur babies until I get back. They love her, and were all very relaxed and happy when I got back. She keeps them safe and sound, and tells me if any of them are off form, send pics and texts. And she loves walking so my dogs were always well walked and happily exercised. She's just brilliant and I would have no hesitation recommending her.”

Scotia R.
“Scotia has privately sat for my dog, Decker on many occasions. It has been a challenge in the past to find sitters for Decker, as he has severe behavioral issues that require extra care, and attention. Scotia has been more than accommodating to Decker's needs, and over the past two years they've developed a wonderful bond that rivals what he has with me (Which is no small feat!). Scotia's gentle, and patient nature makes her a natural with animals of all sorts, and she would be a wonderful addition to the Rover team. Sincerely, Michael P Rhode”


Noa K.
“Noa is a very pet-friendly and loving human being. She is great with all animals, she is very kind to my dog Paddy. Noa and Paddy get along very well, whenever Paddy sees Noa he gets super excited and happy. Noa loves going for walks especially with her own pup and mine. You will not regret meeting Noa.”

I had a fantastic experience with Angie! As a first-time client, I was immediately impressed by her professionalism and communication. She gave me complete peace of mind, and it was clear my cat was very well taken care of. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again in the future.

From the moment my dog met Andrea, she was enamored. Pepper is normally suspicious and barks at people who come to the door, but I think Andrea has such a calm quiet gentle demeanor, that Pepper felt comfortable with her right away! The cats, too, came right over and were mesmerized. Andrea carefully listened to and took note of all instructions, was easy to communicate with throughout, and I had absolutely no worries leaving my pets and home in her care. She got some great photos of my pets during visits, too, so I could see how content they were. Andrea also noticed and responded to my senior dog's needs in terms of energy levels--walking her when she was energetic and staying chill when she needed that. I highly recommend Andrea!

This was the first time I've left Bee all by herself and she was well loved and content when I returned. David sent me photos for every check-in and took time to play with her and talk to her. I highly recommend him; he put my mind at ease and I could enjoy my vacation.

Great communication and a pleasure to have in our house. Pets loved her (even the scared one was a bit curious) and went above and beyond even entertaining our curious actual kids while she dog sat an injured puppy. 100% would bring back and trust in the future.

I have no other words to say about Alecia but WOW - AMAZING! She went above and beyond our drop in visits while we were away and I cant thank her enough. Our dog got skunked while we were on vacation and she took the time out of her day to grab the necessary supplies to bathe him and make sure our house wasn't a complete skunk disaster for when we got back. During our trip we got regular checkins, photos, videos and she did a little training with him too. I highly recommend Alecia and look forward to using her services again!

Ella did such a wonderful job taking care of my senior cat. She sent me lots of updates, pictures, and videos, did everything I asked, and spent time with my kitty. She also sent me photos of his food so I could see how much he ate - that was appreciated! I could tell through the videos that he liked her. I really appreciate Ella, and will definitely hire her again!

Denis took such great care of Loki while we were away. I really appreciated the daily photos and updates Denis gave on how he was getting on. Loki was happy and healthy when we came home and a big thanks to Denis for keeping the litter swept up also. It was a great experience and I would definitely use Denis again in the future.
