“Sofia was so thorough and helpful with our pets. We received countless updates even in another country and she made sure we knew the status of everyone at all times. Very trustworthy and kind and I would recommend her to anyone. We will use her again.”

“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!”
“Janessa did a great job caring for my 3 cats and 1 dog while apartment sitting as well. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and my pets were happy and well cared for when I returned. I really appreciated the peace of mind while I was away and photo updates. I would definitely book her again!”
“Thadora gave us piece of mind while on vacation knowing our two dogs and home were in good hands. She gave us adorable updates of the dogs playing and on walks throughout the week and had excellent communication. The dogs seemed to love her right away and she understood their individual personalities and quirks to make sure they were comfortable the whole time. We returned to the house spotlessly clean and the pups very content. We just hope she’s available the next time we go away!”
“Zoe took great care of our Jasper and our home. She graciously got his pills into him even when he was a grump and she sent lots of updates and pictures to keep us in the loop while we were away.”
“I’ve been hiring Cassandra for ~5 years, through 2 very different dogs, and I will continue to seek her out as my first option for a reliable sitter. She is high energy, attentive, patient and compassionate towards your pup. Thanks Cassandra!”
“Where to begin!! I will definitely be calling on Alana for future dog sitting. She went above and beyond. Right from the meet and greet my 2x dogs were so happy to meet her. She provided ample updates and videos which made me feel like confident in her abilities to take good care of my dogs. The house was left nice and clean. Overall very happy with her services and will definitely be hiring her again in the future.”
“Alyssa was great with our dog and house for 2 weeks while away. We received pictures and videos of her walking him daily. He was well taken care of. Our house was spotless when we returned.”
About: I’ve taken care of high energy huskies as well as senior pups with disability! I love being outside, have great situational awareness and am not deterred by a challenge. I currently work Monday to Friday 7:30-5pm and am available weekends or weekdays for house visits, sitting and dog walks. I have no other responsibilities! I am responsible with many years of house sitting, I take notes, respect, and maintain calm energy for your animals. I don’t drink, smoke or party. I am able to accommodate injury and high needs, I am great with animals with separation anxiety and believe I help keep them calm while their favourite people are away!
“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.”
“This was a last minute booking and we very much appreciate Tina’s/Jeremy’s flexibility. Tina loves our Willow and Willow feels great after seeing her. We will continue to use Tina in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and attention to detail. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I carefully follow your instructions, provide regular updates with photos, and treat every pet with kindness and respect. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playtime, brushing, litter box cleaning, and providing companionship. If your pet requires oral medication, I’m happy to administer it according to your instructions. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or simply enjoys a quiet companion, I’ll adapt my care to meet their individual needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your pet feels loved, relaxed, and happy until you return home. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide daytime and overnight pet sitting, along with drop-in visits and dog walking. I carefully schedule each booking so I can give every pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I believe pets are happiest in their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and keep their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their daily schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning or potty breaks, and plenty of attention and companionship. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and adapt my care to their individual needs, whether they enjoy active play or prefer a calm, quiet companion. I also provide regular photo and message updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and happy. While you’re away, I’m happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in the mail or packages, and keeping your home secure and tidy.
“When we decided to go away for a few nights we knew we couldn’t leave our beloved kitten with just anyone. At first we were very apprehensive leaving our house and kitten in the care of a stranger felt strange, but as soon as we met Samana we felt we could trust her. She was very approachable and down to earth, eager to help and listen to instructions, she hit it off with our kitten immediately and we had no qualms about leaving hi. In her care. She did an amazing job of looking after his needs and providing him with playtime and affection when he wanted it, she followed all instructions provided and sent many photos and videos so we felt like we were part of his day to day life. We highly recommend Samana if you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter for your pet and home.”

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. 😊
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Saskatchewan on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
Tip: 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, identity 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 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
