“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. 😊”
“Very enjoyable person, our dog RB took to her immediately. She sent us photos and reassured us during the time we were away . Will ask for again when the time comes.”
About: Your pet is a member of your family- I understand that and will treat them like a VIP. I had a shih-tzu for 16 years and she was a big part of my life, from the time she was a perky little pup to spunky senior. I am compassionate and able to care for your pet at any stage of life. I have recently changed my career path and I am available for long walks, park play times, and quiet naps all day and every day. I enjoy the outdoors, and I have great instincts for dog care. I have a nice little fenced yard and very few stairs in my home. It’s just the two of us living here, and no pets of our own. If you need me to come to your home, I am willing to maintain whatever routines work best for your pet.
“Thadora did an amazing job taking care of Tito for 11 days! Tito actually got a little sick from doggy daycare before I left to go out of town, but Thadora did a great job recognizing that he wasn’t feeling his best and escalating and she even took him to the vet to make sure it wasn’t anything too serious. I was SO appreciative to have her so that I didn’t need to worry too much while I was out of the country. She sent me lots of photos and videos and Tito loved her so much! I am sure Tito cannot wait until my next trip to have Thadora visit him again. ❤️🐶”
“10/10!! Highly recommend Niki for any pet needs, but having her for our first overnight was best case scenario! She was available last minute, extremely thorough and even more friendly! She made getting away and enjoying the weekend extremely care-free. Went above and beyond not only with the care of the pets, but also our home.”
“Naomi was so wonderful. She was fantastic at communicating and we got daily updates! She had a lot of patience for our very anxious dog. Our house was also left so clean! Highly recommend her!”
“We had another sitter cancel Last minute and David was able To help us out with watching our dogs. We use another dog sitting website and ended up with no sitter. David came over a week before we left to ensure he could watch our dogs and it was a good fit. We have a young puppy too and he was very accommodating. We also liked that david stayed most of time at home With the dogs to train The puppy. Our house was also clean when we came home and had daily pictures and a video sent. It was very easy to communicate. We recommend david for Sure.”
About: I love being around dogs more than anything. My favourite thing is being out in nature with my dogs walking or hiking. My dog is very well behaved and will welcome your pup eagerly in your home. I have taken some limited puppy classes. I am confident that if you put your trust in me to take care if your pup you will not be disappointed; and even will become a repeat client!! I look forward to talking to you and meeting your furry friend very soon! Cheers
About: I've been caring for my own dogs and cats since childhood, as well as sitting for friends and family over many years.

I'm a compassionate animal lover and am happiest when accompanied by a furry friend! I have full time availability and am ready and willing to accommodate your pet's schedule. Your pet is my first priority and my schedule will revolve around their needs. I am conscientious, trustworthy, and responsible. I will treat your pet and home with the utmost care and respect.

About: I am comfortable with any age, size, or breed of dog or cat. I will shower your fur babies with love, will assure your pets safety, and will take so many pictures! I currently do not have a part time job, but I am practicing to becoming a tattoo artist! I do competitive dance twice a week, so I am able to check on your fur babies in the morning, and the afternoon. I am able to hang out with your pets for a 1-2 hours, take them on walks, let them outside, play, give them food, and can crate them when I leave! I will provide lots of pictures to update you on what your fur babies are up to.
About: I have had pets my entire life, ranging from cats and dogs to pygmy goats! I have experience with a wide variety of pets with different personalities and I love getting to see all their different little quirks and learning how to care for them! I am a university student and I work Monday and Thursday evenings. I have most evenings and the weekends to care for and spend time with your pets! I always try to enter the situation with a warm and kind energy but I also always focus on them and their needs and watch for signs of discomfort and anxiety from them. If the animals do show signs of distress I will always keep my distance and let them come to me when they are ready! I always try and predict and watch for their needs so they can receive the care they need whenever.
“Christopher was absolutely amazing! We had Chris house sit for two weeks and he made sure not only visit multiple times a day for bathroom breaks and feeding but also stayed for extended periods at a time to ensure my dog wasn’t lonely and bored. Chris also ensured to leave the house in the exact same state that I had left it in which is great appreciated. He also provided updates throughout the time as well and I felt like I always knew exactly what was going on back home. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a sitter while they are away!”
“Emily did an amazing job of looking after my dog while I was away for a week. She kept me up to date with lots of pictures to put my mind at ease while I was away. She also provided my dog with her medications. I came back to a healthy and happy dog who got loads of attention. She also managed household issues. I would definitely have Emily look after my pet again.”
About: I bring a calm, attentive presence and years of experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments. What sets me apart is my intuitive approach, ability to read animal behavior, and commitment to keeping pets comfortable in their own routines. I’m patient, observant, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe and loving space for every animal I care for. I'm currently a student with a flexible schedule, which means I have ample time to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to provide regular walks, companionship, and consistent attention throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals,it’s one of the best parts of my day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, medication (if needed), and preferred sleeping arrangements. I take the time to build trust, using a calm and patient approach that helps animals feel secure. In clients’ homes, I treat the space with respect and keep things clean and tidy. I also provide regular updates so owners can relax knowing their pets are in good hands.
“We are so luckily to have met Danica! Our fur baby can be quite reactive and not do well with strangers. But with Danica's love, patience and expertise for animals our dog Mowgli had no issues with her. She took it super slow with him and made sure to watch for any clues that Mowgli wasn't comfortable and by the second night Mowgli was already snuggling with her feet! Can't wait to book her again soon.”
“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!”
“She was amazing with our girl, Nala. Nala was super anxious when we left and she made sure she got lots of attention and love while we were away. We got lots of updates. She even swept and mopped our floors. We will be booking her again.”
“It was my first time working with a sitter for my 12 year Dachshund and I didn’t know what to expect and only hoped that it would be the most suitable option for her. Robyn has proved herself to be wonderful with my dog and a great person to care for her. My dog warmed up to Robyn the first time they met, which doesn’t happen often. Robyn listened to and took note of my concerns and cautions to take for my dog to prevent any dietary and spinal issues she is sensitive to. When I came home after 5 days my dog was happy and very calm. Robyn is trustworthy and responsible. I will have her for my dog again any time I need to go away and she is available.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Saskatchewan
She did a great job watching our 5 cats! She kept me updated with photos and was very informative and attentive to their needs. I really appreciated how much attention she paid to them and how she kept me in the loop while I was away. I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands and would definitely book with her again!
Tony was absolutely fantastic when it came to watching my dog Stella! He sent lots of pictures to update me, he was able to accommodate us super last minute, he had great communication and followed all the instructions! Stella really took a liking to him and you can tell he has a genuine love for dogs. I would 100% recommend Tony to anyone looking for a dog sitter that truly cares about the comfort of your dog!
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
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
- 94% 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.
