About: I grew up on a farm, and have experience caring for both cats & dogs, I currently have 2 very active & friendly dogs & no cats, but I can look after both. My schedule is very flexible, I'm the main caregiver for our dogs (feeding, training, leisure time), I live close to the Birchwood Trails which makes for adventurous & leisurely walks! My yard is fenced, I have 2 playful & well-behaved labs that are never outside unless under supervision, we welcome well-behaved & friendly fur friends that play well with others.
“Lindsay took amazing care of our little guy - very professional, kind and clearly cares a lot about animals! Her report card messages were hilarious and sweet, and I fear my cat may love her more than me now. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, I’ve also had reptiles fish and jumping spiders. I love them all. I especially love dogs. I miss mine very much. And I am hoping to make some new furry friends. I am currently a stay at home mom. My kids arnt yet old enough to look after themselves and I was looking for something flexible. I have also owned my own business for many years. I love animals I have had big dogs and little dogs throughout my life including reptiles and and even jumping spiders. I have had animals my whole life I currently don’t have pets because my middle son is allergic and I am hoping one day he will grow out of it and we can again. But for now I am hoping to keep my love of animals close to my heart by helping other pet owners with their fur babies.
About: I have owned a variety of pets over the years! I have a dog that lives back at home with my parents. I have trained to how I would prefer her to behave. I'm an animal lover at heart, but dogs are the best! I have dog sat for family friends over the years, and I have walked many dogs. I make sure to be attentive to the dog's needs as well as the owner's needs. I now have two littermates of my own that I have put a lot of work into!!! I love them so much they have saved me in more ways than one. I have just recently moved back up here! I used to do work through Rover where I used to live, and looking to get back into it here!! When caring for other's pets, I make sure to follow all instructions given by owners and to be respectful of their wishes for their fur babies! Making sure to give my attention to the dogs, to ensure that I can keep them busy and entertained to make the anxiety of being away from their owner minimal.
About: I’m a dog lover and my dog is a lover of all other dogs. I work full time and live a really active lifestyle outside of that. My dog is a dachshund who is 1 year old and super loving. He is great with all dogs from bouviers to chihuahuas. Endless snuggles, a good running companion and puppy park adventures will fill your pups schedule. I don’t have any professional pet sitting experience, just an animal lover that shares the interest in leaving their best friend in good hands! I have a criminal record check and hold a job that requires high integrity and professional obligation. I have finally found a way to monetize my true talent of puppy snuggling... dreams really do come true.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fort McMurray is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 24 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Fort McMurray. About 88% of Fort McMurray 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.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Fort McMurray 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 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.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged 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.
