“Heather was excellent! She came for a meet & greet and was able to follow all care instructions well. She sent me photos and an update, and they seemed happy! I also appreciate her flexibility in coming to care for them on short notice. Thanks so much!”

About: I've been a longtime cat foster with a local animal rescue, and have lived with pets almost all my life. I have experience with clicker and target training with both dogs and cats! My first clicker trainee was my cat, Oscar. With the rescue, I gained experience with diabetes treatment. I'm always happy to learn more about animal care. I have a fairly flexible schedule, which lends me the freedom to spend more time with your pet. My other daily tasks are very portable. I have good experience with pet needs such as feeding, crating, nail trimming, bathing, and minor medical attention such as giving medications and diabetes management. I regularly research animal behavior and training methods to help me be a more effective support. I'm flexible about visit times, locations, dog size, and pricing. I have some physical limitations and only use transit. Feel free to send me a message and we can discuss things further. I'm happy to discuss alternatives that would be suitable everyone.
“Jenna-Lee was fantastic. She was friendly, reliable, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She provided detailed updates after each visit with my cat, which gave me great peace of mind, and she followed all instructions perfectly. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Jenna-Lee!”

“I am beyond thrilled with the care Ella provides for my dog! Every time we arrive, my dog can hardly contain her excitement as her tail wags, she howls in excitement, and how eagerly she runs to greet Ella. It's such a comforting feeling knowing that she loves spending time with Ella, which speaks volumes about the level of care provided. Ella is great with dogs, and it shows in every interaction. She’s patient, attentive, and truly understands my dog's needs and quirks. She has extensive experience taking care of dogs, including her own pup, Ron! My dog has so much fun playing with Ron. Whether it's playtime in the yard, walks, or chilling on the couch, my dog always comes home happy, content, and to a good sleep. One of the things I appreciate most are the regular updates Ella sends. The photos and videos of my dog having fun and enjoying herself give me so much peace of mind while I'm away. It's clear that she's not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for and loved. Ella is also reliable and professional. She’s always punctual and is flexible with scheduling, which makes everything so much easier. If you're searching for someone who will treat your dog like their own and provide the highest level of care, I wholeheartedly recommend Ella!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Zoe. She did drop-in visits for our four cats over two weeks and truly went above and beyond in every way. Her communication was excellent—she provided detailed notes after each visit along with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Zoe also took amazing care of our home. She even shoveled when it snowed and brought in packages that arrived while we were gone, which was incredibly thoughtful. When we returned, the house smelled fresh and clean—not like litter at all—which says so much about the level of care she put in. We would absolutely recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter.”


“Madalynn was excellent. I have a very anxious, jumpy Great Dane that Madalynn met, and she was very calm about his frustration and anxiety. She worked with him using treats and was able to settle him. She never showed any fear at all! I will have her back again!”

“Was very easy to book with and when there was an issue with the booking they were quick to help me fix it. Great report and update on my pup. Followed instructions. Will book again in the future!”


“Alina has completely won over our kitties! They’ve always been a bit suspicious of cat sitters in the past, but they absolutely adore her. She takes such great care of them and always sends thoughtful updates and photos, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. We’re so happy to have found someone our cats genuinely enjoy spending time with. Thank you, Alina—we truly appreciate you! 🐾💕”

About: Hi! I’ve loved animals since childhood and have experience caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, turtles, pigeons, ducks, and more. I truly enjoy spending time with pets, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to follow any specific instructions from owners, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I can provide pet care at the owner’s home and am available for both short and longer visits depending on your needs. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I always treat pets with patience, kindness, and love 😊 I’m very flexible and love working with pets! I can coordinate the schedule with the owner and am happy to care for pets full-time, for as many hours or days as needed I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, comfortable, and loved while they are with me. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and care as if they were my own.
About: Hello, Pet Parents! 👋 I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals—from farm cats in my childhood to training our family puppy for agility competitions in my teens. Animals aren’t just a hobby for me; they are my passion. While in university, I dedicated my time to volunteering at the SPCA, helping rehabilitate and comfort large, fearful dogs. Today, my home is filled with love from our two cats—including my 17-year-old senior orange tabby, Naranjito—and our family dog. Why Choose Me? Through years of personal pet ownership and professional pet sitting (including dogs, cats, and birds), I have developed a comfort level with specialized medical care: Senior Care: Understanding the gentle pace and extra patience older pets need. Injectable Medications & Testing: Experienced with diabetic care, including blood tests and insulin injections. Special Needs & Emergency Calm: Capable of managing complex conditions like canine epilepsy and severe allergies, ensuring your pet is comforted and safe during vulnerable moments. To us, our pets are a wonderful, beloved part of our world. But to them? We are their entire world. That simple realization shapes everything I do as a pet sitter. Every interaction, every walk, and every cuddle session comes down to one fundamental question: How is this animal experiencing the world, and how can I make that experience better? Animals experience life through a completely different lens—and often, a completely different nose! When your dog goes for a walk, it isn't just about physical exercise; it’s their morning newspaper, their social feed, and their grand adventure. When I’m with your pets, I act as their bridge to a bigger, more exciting world: For the dogs: It’s giving them the time and patience to sniff out every trail, explore new scents, and satisfy their curiosity. (My own pup always inspects my pant legs to get the full report on which fur-friends I’ve visited!) For the cats: It’s tuning into their subtle signals, and letting them explore at their own pace—whether that's investigating a new toy or scent-checking where I've been. I don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" pet sitting. Every animal has a distinct personality, and unique comfort zones. My goal is to meet them right where they are and provide genuine mental and physical enrichment while you're away. I treat every pet as the center of my universe while they're in my care—because I know you are the center of theirs. I work as a part-time letter carrier, but I have mornings (until 12), almost all evenings, and most weekends available to care for your pet(s). I have been called "too trusting" in my past... but this has luckily never injured me in a serious way. In fact, the worst thing is realizing that my standard of trustworthiness is NOT universal... but that has made me more skeptical of others when it really matters. Caring for your pet is something that requires a lot of trust of me, and I appreciate your skepticism. I wouldn't leave my fur-babies with just anyone, too. Training dogs when I was younger made me much more aware of body language and different personalities. I am always watching for potential stressors or safety issues. I love giving dogs the freedom of an off-leash area, but would have to trust that they will listen to me before being comfortable with any safety risks involved with that.
“Lori has taken care of my cat Noodles many times, she always sends me photos and I can tell my cat feels happy and safe. I would highly recommend her services for any of your pet care needs!”

“katia is absolutely wonderful! i have booked her for multiple walks and for a stay with my dog. he is not the most straightforward dog, but she takes amazing care of him. i feel so comfortable leaving him in her care and he absolutely loves when she comes to watch him. katia is a great communicator and sends updates and pictures throughout the day. she is worth every penny and i highly recommend her services!”

About: My love for dogs know no bounds and I have always experienced their love since I was young. I am really good at making friends with even difficult dogs and I know very well how to take care of them. I can play with them, give them love, take them out for walks and do everything needed for their comfort. I currently have plenty of time as I am a freelance Interpreter/Translator and writer. I am able to adjust my schedule to take care of adorable pets. I am responsible, kind, gentle and playful with my pet and since I love all animals, I will be sure to treat your pet with all the love they deserve. In case of doing house sitting, I will be available on my phone for whichever inquiry you might have and I will take notes on your pets favourite toys and ways of playing. Also if there’s any special requirements like administering medication I will be sure to send proof it’s done.
“Ava was excellent! She was quick and easy to communicate with and she took great care of our boys while we were exploring Sicamous and the Wineries! Would love to have her again when we return for another vacation! Highly recommend.”

“Sierra was a fantastic pet sitter. She updated us regularly and asked questions if she wasn’t sure. Our animals loved her, she was trustworthy and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend Sierra to take care of your pets!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Edmonton
This was our first time using Rover, so we really looked for someone who met our needs and made us feel comfortable leaving our pet with. Ella was great and exceeded expectations! Her reports were thoughtful and reassuring. She cared for our dog in a very personal way. I think our dog was a little disappointed she stopped coming by once we got home lol definitely would recommend Ella, and will be using her again!!!

Alina has completely won over our kitties! They’ve always been a bit suspicious of cat sitters in the past, but they absolutely adore her. She takes such great care of them and always sends thoughtful updates and photos, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. We’re so happy to have found someone our cats genuinely enjoy spending time with. Thank you, Alina—we truly appreciate you! 🐾💕

Heather is amazing! I’ve never left my cat alone before or had someone look after him other than family. Being new to the city and not knowing anyone meant I couldn’t really leave him alone. He is usually so shy around strangers, but he absolutely adored Heather!! She sent me updates and pictures the entire time. I’m so grateful as my request was a little last minute but she was so flexible. She followed my instructions perfectly. I’m so happy that I found her, I feel so much relief knowing there’s someone here I can trust to care for my cat the same way I do!

Kayla was great and very responsive! Lupita was very happy when we returned from our trip. Kayla had helpful suggestions while she was there and always made us feel at ease during her visits. Would totally recommend her to take care of your pet. And we would absolutely rely on her the next time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Edmonton on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,149 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Edmonton. About 88% of Edmonton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Edmonton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
