“Angela was amazing with our diabetic cat. She was punctual at medication time and spent so much time playing with him and loving him. When we came home we was very relaxed, which shows us how well he was loved while we were away. Thank you Angela. We appreciate you.”
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.
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 my 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: Experienced and reliable pet caregiver with a strong background in caring for dogs and cats. I've been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life and even have experience with farm animals! Skilled in feeding, walking, cleaning, and providing attentive, loving care to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable. Animals are truly the worlds greatest gift❤️ Currently moving to Alberta and I don’t have a job so I’ll have all the free time in the world to spend time and take care of your pets! I don’t have a fenced yard at my house but I can take them for walks and to the dog park and gladly able to spend the day in their home with them so they feel more comfortable
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether it’s high energy or relaxed walks, or helping a more anxious dog feel safe and comfortable, I adapt my care to what your dog needs most. I’m confident handling reactive or dog-selective dogs and always prioritize safety, structure, and calm energy. I’m comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I also understand how important communication is, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have a flexible schedule which allows me to prioritize the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I structure my day around the needs of the pets in my care, whether that’s regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or just providing companionship. Because of my flexibility, I’m also able to accommodate different routines, including early mornings, evenings, or specific timing requests Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and low-stress for them. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely, whether that’s feeding routines, walk guidelines, or any behavioural considerations. I’m especially mindful on walks, keeping dogs secure, avoiding stressful situations, and being aware of surroundings at all times. As a reactive dog owner, I have experience reading body language and managing different behaviors, so I approach every pet with patience and awareness. I aim to create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels comfortable, and I’ll always keep you updated so you feel confident while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of animals mainly dogs since I was 12, whether it was for family, friends, or strangers. I am able to - Provide daily exercise - Administer Oral Medication(s) - Provide senior care I am currently off for the summer so I have all the time to spend with your dogs! I am specifically available from 7am - 1am. Within a clients home I can ensure my main priority is keeping your dog(s) safe whether that is checking fencing or ensuring anything harmful they cannot get into. I have a reliable means of transportation i case on an emergency.
About: I've owned a dog or many dogs since I was 18 years old and I am now 53. I specialize in small dogs requiring a safe active loving home environment and im home with them all day or they come with me. I have consistently raised each of those dogs until their natural passing.... I'm not uptight or strict in my care however I am the alpha at my house. I have a very annoying dog whistle that's effective for all dogs and I have never had a problem with recall.(may require training your dog to recall) I prefer consistent training and discipline over crate training but my care for your pet is based on your wants and needs (as long as it doesn't conflict for the others i have in care) and especially consistency for your pet. I allow them on the furniture with training if they are permitted. I train my own pets and can also help with yours. Dogs cats birds reptiles or whatever ...I can also pick up and drop off your pet. I have a special room just for cats as well. Additional tasks required additional costs. (Poor recall, extra needy or whiney or Barry, bigger dogs and or hairy dogs as you know would required extra attention time or cleanup there by reflecting on price. ex: smaller dogs are smaller messes less space/ clean up /big dogs are more hair/foot prints/muscle for care etc. My routine has been the same for the last 35 years... I wake up and I go immediately to take my pets to the dog park where they can be let loose off-leash to do their business... it can take anywhere from 10 or 30 minutes. Then they play or snack or rest at home happily until midday which for them would be approximately between 12 and 3 o'clock I would take them out for another run around same way off-leash And once again at the end of the day before bed between 6 and 10 depending on time of year. That's an example based on a summer schedule however my daily routine would be based on your pet's needs and my preference would be to do 3 times a day if I have them in my full-time care. I have a completely fenced yard with adequate room to run.. I do have 2 other dogs as well that will assist in entertaining yours and keeping them comfortable and assist in training. I also have 2 cats that have no problem with other dogs or if they find the other dogs seem anxious they will hide and not be a bother. I use an open dish policy for food and I treat my pets as though I would my kids. I don't take my eyes off them unless they are safe. I give grain free good food and treats are dried duck or chicken or freeze dried liver or salmon. No milk bones here.
About: I grew up on an acreage with a wide variety of animals to care for, ranging from sheep and goats, to chickens, rabbits, cats and dogs. I have experience in bottle feeding every 2-3 hours even through the night. I also have experience with making homemade nutritious meals for my families senior dog. I often go to the animal shelter to spend time with the animals there as well. I am currently working part time, which leaves me with lots of time to hang out with your beloved pets. I am free to do house sitting, potty breaks, long and short walks, and general play with your pets. I have a reliable vehicle, so I am able to take your pets to the dog park. I am able to keep working with your pets on any training that they may be doing. I am also able to work with you on special feeding requirements, and any other requests to keep your pet happy and healthy.

There are 25 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Fort McMurray. About 94% 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.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Fort McMurray stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 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 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.
