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.
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: 🐾 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.
“Cassandra is the most amazing sitter! We have trusted her with our pets twice now. She really goes above and beyond! She’s our go to sitter and we will continue to use her in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m Hannah, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started helping with my mom’s pet-sitting business in 2011 and have since gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, horses and other animals. I also participated in dog training in Sherwood Park from 2015–2016, giving me experience with canine behaviour, handling and basic training. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, ages and personalities, including shy or nervous pets. I know how important routine and familiarity can be, so I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own home while following their normal schedule and your instructions closely. My schedule is flexible, giving me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins and house sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and can accommodate different schedules depending on their needs. I provide care exclusively in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, crate routines and household rules. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries and any triggers or behavioural concerns before caring for them.
About: Literally, dogs will randomly come up to me, bark, smile and walk away. My wife jokingly calls me the "dog whisperer". BecauseI I love dogs, and ALL of them love me back. I have experience working at a doggie daycare, volunteering at the Edmonton and Calgary Humane Societies and I have assisted in a small boutique dog grooming shop. I have experience with house sitting, walking, feeding, cleaning and caring for puppies, old dogs, sick dogs, and in some cases, dogs who don't have a lot of time left on their clocks. Many months ago, I was at a friend's house up in the mountains when her dog returned with a large goose quill stuck in their husky's lower jaw. The husky sat and whimpered. Immediately, I jumped into action. First just trying to wiggle it out with my fingers. Unfortunately, it was really buried in his gums. I had to resort to using a pair of pliers to get a good enough grip on it and gentle pulled it out of his jaw. When we were done with this impromptu rescue, that dog became my best friend, every time I went to their house. I am great with dogs of any size, Giant 100+ pound Great Danes to the littlest Chihuahua under 10 pounds. All dogs are welcome those with BIG PERSONALITIES or those who need to take their time getting to know each other.
“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: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and attention I give to each pet. Since I work from home, your pet will receive consistent, focused companionship throughout the day. I have hands-on experience training puppies and can help reinforce positive behaviors while keeping routines consistent. I’m also attentive to the unique needs of senior pets, ensuring they stay comfortable, safe, and supported at all times. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I tailor my care to match their personality, age, and specific needs — just like they’re part of my own family. Pet care just fits right into my day. I’m always around to give them my full attention. We go for 1-2 walks every day, and I make sure there’s always time for play. It’s all about keeping things balanced and making sure they’re happy and active. At home, I’m all about making sure my pets feel comfortable and happy, with lots of attention, daily walks, and playtime. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the same approach—giving them the care and attention they need based on their routine. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or just spending time with them, I try to make sure they feel as relaxed and cared for as possible.
“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!”
“Iris did a great job visiting our 3 cats, making sure their food/water/litter were full/clean and making them feel loved. We loved receiving photo updates of each one on our trip! One of our cats needed extra attention and Iris was able to make sure he was looked after. Would use her again! Thanks Iris!”

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 Gibbons 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
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, 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.
