“Ronilyn gave me peace of mind while I was visiting family in Japan for 2 weeks. It was the first time using this service and was nervous since it was my first time leaving care of my pets to a someone I didn’t know however they did an excellent job ensuring my cats had plenty of food and water during their drop in visits. She even took the time to take pictures of my shy little lumps hiding under the covers. Will definitely ask her to help again in the future!”

About: I've been around cats & dogs ever since I was little. I had a cat as a teenager and for a few years now, I've been my family's sitter of choice. I'm a recent university graduate who works part-time and has a flexible schedule. I'm open to work weekdays and weekends, from 9am onwards or earlier if needed. I respect their space. I make sure that the home is safe and there aren't things that could be dangerous in the pet's environment and/or reach when I arrive and before I leave. As well, as making sure their water and food bowls are filled, and that the place they do their business is clean.
“Alyssa wes great and I couldn't ask for a better person to look after my cat! She provide daily up updates of her visits and made sure to thorough with feeding time and what food to give. Would definitely book with her again!”
“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!”

I work shift work, giving me flexible availability to care for your pets day or night. Whether it's early mornings or late evenings, I'm happy to help. My home has a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time when appropriate. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication administration if needed, and lots of affection to help pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are awa
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.
“We just started using Emily to walk our pups and interact with them while we are at work. She is doing an amazing job. We have 2 dogs and one has very high energy and some reactivity. She is helping us work through her issues and maintaining our training for our pup.”
About: All animals and kids gravitate to my energy which is amazing ! They know what good energy is ! I love all animals like they are my own ! I am an entrepreneur so I basically have an open schedule , can fit any animals needs. So whatever you need I can definitely be of service ! I personally prefer to animal sit at the owners home because the animals feel most comfortable there. I do have a huge yard at my pace that is gated
“This is the second time that I was fortunate to have Tracy visit my elderly fur baby and I'm so glad I did. I was very satisfied with her service and will be booking with her again in the future. Thank you Tracy!”
About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for pets and homes for friends and family. Pet sitting has always come naturally to me — I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal, earning their trust, understanding their routines, and caring for them in a way that feels calm and respectful. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, including cats and dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I love taking dogs for walks, spending quiet time with cats, and providing plenty of affection, comfort, and reassurance while their owners are away. In addition to cats and dogs, I’ve also cared for rabbits (including daily cleaning), fish, reptiles, and even a snake, which involved feeding and maintaining proper care routines. I grew up in the countryside, so I’m familiar with farm life and the responsibility that comes with caring for animals consistently and attentively. When caring for a home, I’m tidy, respectful, and mindful of routines. I understand that pets are family members, and I take pride in providing them with safe, loving, and dependable care so owners can travel with complete peace of mind. I’m currently transitioning into civilian life after retiring from the Canadian military and am studying online, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. This allows me to be present for pets throughout the day, maintain feeding and walking routines, and spend quality time providing companionship, play, and calm supervision. I’m happy to adapt my routine to match your pet’s usual schedule so they feel secure and comfortable. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow all routines and instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if required, and household rules. I keep the home tidy and secure, respect privacy, and ensure pets are supervised, comfortable, and never left in unsafe situations. I believe consistency, calm energy, and attentiveness are key to building trust with both pets and homeowners.
About: We know firsthand that dogs are family. We cared for our beloved dog for 11 years through two knee surgeries and several other procedures due to genetic health issues, giving her the best care every step of the way. That experience taught us patience, responsibility, and how to recognize when a dog needs extra attention. We provide a calm, loving home, daily walks, plenty of affection, and will follow your dog's routine exactly as you request. We treat every dog like one of our own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. We both work full-time Monday to Friday, so we're best suited for dogs that are comfortable being home alone for up to 8 hours during the workday. Every dog gets a morning walk before we leave, an evening walk when we're home, and lots of love and attention afterward. On weekends we're home most of the day, so your dog will have plenty of companionship, playtime, and cuddles. Your dog's safety and comfort are our top priorities. We'll follow your dog's feeding schedule, medication routine, exercise needs, and any special instructions exactly as requested. We treat every dog like a member of our family and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. We also volunteer with an incredible pet rescue in Edmonton dog sitting for fosters while they wait for their forever home and absolutely love everything about it. All dogs we watch will 100% be treated like royalty 💜 We also have a toy box full of new toys where your incredible pet gets to bring home their favorite toy after their stay 🥰
“Samana was so amazing with my 4 babies! She made me feel so reassured and sent me lots of photos and updates through her visit. If I were to leave my cats alone I’d always rebook with her, she’s also such a ray of sunshine!! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Zoe. She did drop-in visits for our four cats over two weeks and truly went above and beyond in every way. Her communication was excellent—she provided detailed notes after each visit along with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Zoe also took amazing care of our home. She even shoveled when it snowed and brought in packages that arrived while we were gone, which was incredibly thoughtful. When we returned, the house smelled fresh and clean—not like litter at all—which says so much about the level of care she put in. We would absolutely recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for 20 plus years, I grew up on a 2400 acre ranch for most of my life :) I have yet to meet an animal that dislikes me! I am home most of the time so I can take the dog out at any time :) I have another dog that they can play with as well she is very friendly, a bit older so not to playful. Whatever the customer suggests with their animal I will follow those guidelines. There are other animals here for them to play with so they don't feel alone. Bring any toys or food that your pet needs :) I want them to feel as comfortable as possible, just like my own animals.
“Heather was amazing! We were gone for two weeks over the holidays and she took amazing care of Pickle! We had some mishaps with our automatic feeder and she really went above and beyond to make us feel reassured!”

Cara was friendly, caring and professional during the time she took care of my cat Tarzan. This was my first time using Rover so I was quite nervous. Cara sent daily notes and pictures while caring for Tarzan which was amazing! Cara is fantastic and I would not hesitate to utilize her services in the future.
Sofia was amazing! She was so patient with our cats and gave them so much love and sent us so many pictures! We are so grateful for how flexible Sofia was as some instructions / dates had changed during the trip and she was so easy to communicate with! I would highly recommend Sofia to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fort Saskatchewan is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,094 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.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
