“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.”
“Janessa took great care of my reactive dog and 2 cats while I had an emergency trip! I knew that my apartment was also well cared for! Very proactive, honest, and my pets were happy when I returned home. Thank you!”
“This is the second time I’ve booked Alyssa to take care of my four animals and again she was amazing! Two of my cats are on medications and she eased my anxiety about leaving them. I’m so happy I have a reliable pet sitter now that goes above and beyond the standard pet care !! :)”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
About: I grew up with animals since a young age, my family always had dogs and every summer I’d spend months out at my godmother’s farm helping take care of all kinds of animals including a barn full of cats. Professionally I was employed as a groomer/doggy daycare attendant so im well versed in handling animals of all sizes and temperaments! Currently between jobs just trying to make ends meet in a way that brings joy and allows others to know their babies are safe at home while they’re out living life. I’m recently unemployed so I’ve got nothing but time on my hands! I enjoy going for daily walks on my own so I would have no problem having a pet join me on my day. Following whatever guidelines they have set up for their pets! I will hang out with them and take good care of them no matter where we are!
“Naomi did an amazing job looking after my cat. From our first meet and greet she put my mind at ease knowing he would be well taken care of. She is reliable, a good communicator and went above and beyond looking after my cat and home. I received regular updates with pictures and would 100% recommend Naomi!”

“This was our first time leaving our two dogs with a petsitter, so we were a little apprehensive, but our experience with Sara P. was amazing! She provided us with regular updates and photographs during our week away. We returned home to happy and well-cared for pups, watered plants, and a clean home. We will definitely be using her petsititing services again.”

“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’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!
“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.”
“This is our first time using rover - samana was awesome. She kept us updated on our dogs evening so we felt completely at ease. She was right on time and never gave us a moments worry. Lucky Howie!”
“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!”

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!

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.
