“It was my first time using the Rover app and i was nervous leaving my kitties for the first time but Ronilyn made my trip completely stress free, my kitties loved her!! Ronilyn was a great sitter! I definitely recommend her and will be using her again!!”
About: I was on rover before under Tracy P. I have experience with dogs, cats, ferrets, geckos, birds, etc! I have a senior dog, Bailey, who is a min pin. She is 13 years old. I have looked after puppies to seniors and all the in between I look after animals all day, everyday! I have two boys, 10 and 8 who absolutely love helping me on weekends to look after the fur babies. I have a fully fenced yard with a heavy gate on one side and a shed on the other, no escaping from my yard. I walk dogs during the day, and do drop in visits. Otherwise I am home with my kids and fur baby
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, and animals have always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding, grooming, walking, bathing, and both potty and crate training. I’ve also helped with basic obedience training and understand the patience and consistency pets need to feel safe and happy. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me with their pets, knowing I treat every animal as my own. I’m dependable, gentle, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I currently work remote, so have a lot of flexibility to board at my home and attend to your pets needs throughout their stay or visit your home and take care of walks, potty breaks, play time, and grooming. I have a fully fenced yard in my townhouse so dogs can enjoy safe, supervised time outside. Inside, pets are welcome to enjoy furniture, yes, that includes the couch. I keep my space clean and pet-friendly and free of hazards. When I care for pets in a clients home, I do my best to maintain their usual routines and respect their habits and space. I'm mindful and tidy and make sure pets have access to fresh water and clean litter boxes, and lots of attention. My focus is to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable.
About: I grew up with all sorts of animals - hamsters, rabbits, hedgehogs, chinchillas, budgies, & fish. I currently have a yorkie/shitzu, two cats, and a small tank of fish. I have dog & cat sat for friends/family but now that my dog is a senior, he's gotten a little more grumpy so I no longer care for other people's animals in my own home. I only do drop-in visits now so that my own furbabies are not home alone. I do have experience giving oral medication to both cats and dogs. I am not working at the moment so will have lots of time to check on your furbaby, feed & play with him/her, and send you updates/pics! I offer drop-in care in your home to keep your beloved family member feeling safe & comfortable in familiar surroundings. I will follow any special care instructions to the letter & give your dog/cat all the love they deserve.
“Niki took care of my pet for an entire week - 2 drop ins per day. She has been amazing, sent me updates and pictures. Very reliable and nice! Highly recommend. Easy to communicate with.”
“This was our first time booking Dawn, and she did an amazing job stopping by to feed and visit our two cats while we were away. She kept us updated and sent us lots of pictures. We will definitely book her again.”
About: 🐾 Availability Update Summer 2026 is fully booked. I am now accepting bookings for the Christmas holidays, but availability is limited and filling quickly. I’ve been providing professional pet care for over three years and have been fortunate to build lasting relationships with many wonderful clients and their pets. I intentionally keep my client list small so I can provide attentive, personalized care and build genuine bonds with every animal I look after. I’m excited to welcome a few new pets and families into my routine and look forward to meeting you and your furry companions! 🐶🐱❤️ I work full-time Monday through Friday; however, my weekends are fully open and I always prioritize my pet clients’ schedules. I’m experienced in coordinating care around varying routines and am happy to work together to find what best suits your pet’s needs. For the comfort and consistency of the pets I care for, I primarily provide overnight care in my clients’ homes. This allows pets to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their regular routines. I’m not offering boarding at this time, though this may change around November 2026.

My home has a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time when appropriate.

“Alyssa was great with my kitties, she was very receptive to my requests I had for my cats and adjusted along the way and I really appreciated it! They were happy and calm when I got home!”
“We’ve used Cari to care for our 125lb 15month old puppy multiple times. She has been caring, attentive and reliable. She has assisted in training our dog in multiple ways (leash manners, drop it, etc) as well as offered insight into nutritional needs based on careful reviews of stools, etc. Cari is incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate with her care. I’d love to give her 0/5 stars so that nobody else uses her and she’s always going to be available when we need her because I’ll be so sad if there comes a time she isn’t able to care for our dog when the need arises - but alas, she earned a solid 5 stars! Thank you Cari!”
About: I have experience with different animals from small dogs to larger breeds > 100lbs I don’t have any pets of my own but I have volunteered at animal shelters walking dogs and giving pets and cuddles to the cats I enjoy walking in the river valley, checking out new neighbourhoods, hiking, and taking advantage of any opportunity to be around animals I am currently working part-time/ casual so my schedule varies but I mostly work evenings and have mornings and weekends off. If there is a stretch of time that will be needed, I can accommodate if sufficient notice is given I would ensure the dog is given a long/short walk depending on needs, letting out to use the bathroom and routine feeding. Lots of play time with balls or toys Cats- I will cuddle or play with your cat(s), feed if needed, clean litter as well

There are 1,117 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Fort Saskatchewan. About 88% of Fort Saskatchewan 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.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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 Saskatchewan stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 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!
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.
