“Repeated customer, and as usual Sofia is amazing with our boys and our house. She made sure during the heat wave to have special entertainment for them with a splash pad, refreshing treats, and lot of cuddles. She is always so thoughtful with them and provide all the love they need while we're away. We definitely wouldn't trust anyone else with our babies and our home. 😊”

“We would highly recommend Lori. She looked after our senior dog over the long weekend. Lori provided daily updates and photos which was very reassuring. Not only did she take good care of our fur baby she took great care of our home. Thanks so much Lori.”
“Sara is fantastic. Our dog has some anxiety around strangers and Sara worked with us slowly to get our pup more comfortable over walks and an overnight visit before our weeklong holiday. She was great with our dog and did everything to make her comfortable. When we were on our holiday, our flight got delayed and we needed to get Sara to stay an extra day. She responded right away and made sure that everything was updated in the app and our pets were properly taken care of. We will be using Sara as much as we can in the future.”
“We were a bit hesitant at first to have someone stay in our home with our brand-new puppy, but Jeremy and his wife quickly put us at ease. They sent us endless photos and updates throughout the day, kept us completely in the loop, and treated our little guy with so much love and care. They even cleaned up after his puppy accidents and left our home spotless when they left. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, highly recommend Jeremy to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters!”
“We recently used Robin to care for our 15 year old senior Pomeranian. She was incredible. Not only was she punctual, but she sent daily updates and photos of our girl while we were away. She administered her medication with zero issues as well. Gave her all the belly rubs and treats. After she left and we arrived home we noticed our old girl looking for Robin. Highly recommend and we will be using her again. Thanks Robin!”
“Megan was amazing. My dogs were happy and comfortable. They played and had cuddle puddles. Megan sent me pictures and updates. Not only did she take care of my babies she made sure she cleaned the floors, took out the garbage, even emptied my dishwasher. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“We booked Jasmine to house sit our pup Lenny while we were on holidays for a week. Jasmine was very professional during the booking process, very kind during our initial meet and greet and provided regular updates with pictures throughout our time away. I felt confident that Lenny was in good hands while we were away, which was reassuring. She left the house in great condition as well! Would recommend Jasmine and will use her for future bookings!”
About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes breeds and personalities my whole life. I am comfortable and confident caring for dogs that are small, large, shy, social young or old. For the past two years, I have volunteered as an advanced dog walker with Edmonton Humane Society, where I have received hands-on training with their expert Behaviour Team. I’m currently completing an online diploma, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I’m available for pet care throughout the week and on weekends morning afternoon or evening. Since my studies are self-paced I am able to easily prioritize your pets needs and give them attention time and care they deserve whenever it’s needed. While I don’t host pets in my own home, I have plenty of experience, caring for pets in their own space and staying at clients homes. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure in a familiar environment so I always do my best to maintain the usual routine Whether it’s drop visits or overnight stays I treat your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect
“Emily is great with my senior dogs. I never need worry about them knowing they are in great care. Trust doesn’t come easy for me so finding someone like Emily to care for my dogs is a gift. She always always provides updates and photos and cares about my home too. Highly recommend Emily’s services.”
“Zenna did a great job housesitting our 2 large dogs for a week! Her communication was great throughout the initial booking, meet and greet, and our trip. Our dogs eat raw and can be a bit of a handful, but she took the time to ask all about their routines, temperaments, and quirks during the meet and greet. She sent update pictures throughout our trip, and when we got home our dogs seemed happy and well taken care of. Our house is clean (even with a shedding Husky). I'd definitely feel comfortable have Zenna watch our pups again!”
About: Hello! My name is Jenn, and I’ve been passionate about pets for as long as I can remember. I've had dogs and cats in my life since childhood, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I also have hands-on experience with senior pets, so I understand the patience, gentleness, and special care that older animals require Professionally, I work as a Home Care Aide, where I support my clients and their pets every single day. At my current placement, I care for my client, the family's 3 dogs, and their cat. My role has helped me develop a keen sense for routine, structure, and empathy, all of which are crucial for responsible pet care. You can count on me to follow instructions carefully and provide your pet with a dependable routine My current availability is after 6pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. All day Thursday and Sunday, and before 10am and after 8pm on Saturday I have a fenced in yard, a park in my neighbourhood, and transportation. I also have pet cameras at home to keep an eye on everyone while I am out
“We had Rachel house sit for us last week and were very satisfied with her services. The house was clean as we leave it and the dogs were well taken care of. She gave us frequent updates and pictures and through communicating we knew she understood them. Highly recommend Rachel as as a sitter.”
“Can’t say enough on how great it was to have Danielle step up and take care of our Maddie on short notice. We will definitely look to book Danielle again She took great care of 8 yr old “pup” and treated her so good and followed the post op instructions we provided thanks again Danielle!”
About: I was lucky enough to share 15 years with my dog Kaya, raising her from a 2-month-old pup until her final day. I personally trained her, including off-leash walking, and cared for her through every life stage - from the high energy puppy phase to her senior years. I've had dogs in my life since i was very young and I very much enjoy their company - whether its going for long walks or just hanging out at home. I am currently in the process of a career change and am in school full time, working part time and am looking to fill my time with something i love doing! Pet care fits easily into my lifestyle. I’ve recently stepped away from full-time work to focus on full time studies, which means I’m home and available much more often. Currently, I only work weekends on an alternating schedule of days and evenings, leaving me with plenty of open time during the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At my home, pets are welcome to relax with me in the living room or rest in my room if they prefer a quieter space. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I can make up for it with plenty of outdoor time. I live close to the river valley walking trails and nearby dog parks. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether that means structured walks, supervised play, or quiet downtime. I take precautions to ensure pets are never left unsupervised in unsafe situations, and I’m committed to keeping them on their regular feeding, exercise, and care routines. For clients who prefer care in their own home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely to make sure your pet feels secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. Building trust—both with pets and their people—is at the heart of how I provide care.
About: I have owned cats, dogs, and exotic pets my whole life. I am no stranger to anxious dogs, pets with strict schedules, or administering medication. Spending time with animals is when I am happiest! I am not currently working so I am available all times for care. I can come early in the morning, late at night, and anything in between! I respect all pets and their own schedules. I am happy to spend all my time playing or snuggling with your dog, or I can keep my distance so they just have some company. Whatever your animal’s needs are always comes first.
“Amber did a great job of looking after our dog. Who has limited mobility and a routine of meds. She sent us pictures of their time together. Also sent texts letting us know how things were going. Would definitely book again.”
“We booked Matheu to look after our home and dog, April for 9 days during Christmas but we wanted to do a trial first to see if he was a good match. We tried this last Friday and I have to say that everything went well. He listened and follow all the routines, he was friendly and April seemed very happy when we were back home. He is definitely our person for next time.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Saskatchewan
Roni was absolutely amazing with our fur family! We had never left them with a stranger before, so we were a little nervous, but she made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. She kept us updated with regular photos, and her communication was always quick and responsive. It was such a relief knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We would definitely recommend Roni and would absolutely use her again in the future!
Repeated customer, and as always, Sofia took care of our boys and our home wonderfully! Always got updates and pictures from them everyday. Even a wonderful little surprise of magnets with their pictures when we got home. She truly provide the best care we could ask for for our babies, and will be reaching out again 😊❤️
Faith was a dream to have look after the fur members of our family. She was very kind from the first message to the last (when she messaged me to make sure we got home okay) and I always felt confident that our furry friends were being well looked after. Faith stayed in our home and we came back to a house that was cleaner than we left it. We'd be thrilled to have Faith look after our furry friends again!
We’d never thought to use a pet sitting service before, but after meeting Cara twice before she came to house sit/pet sit we felt very comfortable having her come into our home to take care of our most precious babies. Cara sent us pictures daily which was always the highlight of our day. She took our golden retriever for walks at the off leash park which is one of his favourite things to do. I could tell my ragdoll kitten was brushed daily which was also important to me to keep her fur mat free. When we got home our house was absolutely immaculate, Cara went above any of our expectations and we are so grateful for the care she gave our pets and our home. When we go away again I really hope that Cara will be available to watch Tucker and Ginny because she has set the bar very high.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fort Saskatchewan maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fort Saskatchewan walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Saskatchewan 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
