“Bailey stopped in daily to check in and care for our little man Theo. She took lots of photos providing such peace of mind and all was in order when we arrived home. I would be so happy to recommend Bailey for the pet services she provides!”
About: I have nearly a year of professional experience working as a dog walker in North Vancouver, where I cared for dogs in a wide variety of environments, personalities, ages, and ability levels. My typical workday included two group hikes on North Vancouver mountain trails, usually about 5 km and 1.5 hours each, as well as private neighborhood or trail walks in between. I was responsible for picking dogs up from their homes, safely transporting them to and from the trails, managing groups of up to five dogs at a time, and making sure every dog was safe, comfortable, and enjoying the experience. I have worked with young, energetic dogs, senior dogs, shy and sensitive dogs, highly active dogs, dogs with challenging behaviours, and dogs requiring additional care, including blind and deaf dogs. I also have extensive experience walking dogs both on-leash and off-leash. Working with so many different personalities has taught me how important it is to read a dog's body language, respect their boundaries, stay aware of the environment, and adjust my approach to each individual dog. Safety has always been my priority. During my professional dog-walking experience, I became very comfortable managing multiple dogs outdoors, handling unexpected situations, and building trust with dogs so they feel secure with me. I take that responsibility very seriously. Communication with pet parents is also very important to me. After each walk or hike, I provided a detailed update about how the dog did, what we did during the outing, and anything noteworthy I observed, along with photos from our adventure. I know how reassuring it is to receive a thoughtful update and know that your dog is happy and well cared for. I also share my life with my own 9-year-old American Cocker Spaniel, who is truly a member of my family. Having him has given me an even deeper appreciation for how unique, sensitive, and important our dogs are to us. I understand what it feels like to trust someone else with a dog you love deeply, and I never take that trust for granted. Whether your dog is young and full of energy, older and needs a gentler pace, shy and needs time to feel comfortable, or simply loves a good adventure, I will always treat them with patience, respect, attention, and genuine care — just as I would want someone to treat my own dog. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to give each dog plenty of time and attention. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual routine and individual needs. I also love longer walks and active outings, so energetic dogs are always welcome! I always follow your dog’s usual routine and any instructions you leave for me. I take the time to get to know each dog and make sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. Safety is always important to me, both at home and on walks. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and interactions with other dogs, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos while your pet is in my care.
About: I’ve always had a strong love for animals and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic walks and playtime to providing calm, attentive care for older dogs who need a little extra patience. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I take the time to learn what makes each animal comfortable and happy. I’m reliable, responsible, and treat every pet in my care like they’re part of my own family. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Hi! I’m Heather, a stay-at-home mom and accounting student completing my degree from home. My kids are in school during the day, which gives me a flexible schedule and lots of time to spend caring for your pets. I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable person who genuinely loves animals. I enjoy being outdoors, going for walks, and spending time with dogs, whether that means an energetic play session or simply keeping them company while they relax. Because I’m home much of the day, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and maintain their normal routines. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat them like part of the family while they’re in my care. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I have an 8-year-old Goldendoodle of my own who is extremely friendly and loves having company. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and relax, as well as a regular walking routine. When caring for pets, I like to keep their normal routine as much as possible. I provide plenty of attention, fresh water, regular meals, playtime, walks, and lots of love. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pet is used to. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how they’re doing

Baylee went above & beyond with my pups, my girl was in heat and wearing a diaper & I also have a reactive dog and they just loved her. Really appreciated her being able to drop in last minute as I had someone (friend) have to cancel last minute. Would book with her again.

There are 28 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Grande Prairie. About 89% of Grande Prairie 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 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 Grande Prairie 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. 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 , 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 .
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.
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.
