About: With over two decades of experience caring for animals, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, quirks, and comforts. I've cared for dogs of all sizes, from tiny toy breeds to giant Dobermans, as well as cats of all temperaments. I also have training in puppy development, leash training, and positive reinforcement techniques. I offer **in-home pet sitting, overnight boarding in my home, and doggy daycare**, giving you the flexibility to choose the arrangement that works best for you and your pet. As a self-employed professional who works remotely, I'm home throughout much of the day, which means your pet gets more than someone stopping in to fill a food bowl. They get companionship, attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. For pets who are happiest in familiar surroundings, I'm happy to stay in your home, keeping their routines consistent and looking after your space while you're away. For those who enjoy a change of scenery, I also welcome pets into my own home for overnight stays or daytime care, providing a comfortable, attentive environment where they can settle in and feel at ease. I'm mature, responsible, tidy, and respectful of both your home and your pet's individual needs. Whether that means following a senior pet's medication schedule, reinforcing good habits with an energetic puppy, or giving a slightly anxious animal the patience and reassurance they need, I take the responsibility of caring for someone's beloved companion seriously. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and receiving the kind of attention and affection you'd want for them. I'd love to meet you and your pet and see if we're a good fit! 🐾 As a self-employed professional, I have the flexibility to work from anywhere, which means your pet will have far more companionship and attention than they would with someone who works a traditional 9–5 job. While I may have the occasional outing, my schedule allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs throughout the day, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just providing comforting company. I understand that pets thrive on routine and consistency, so I’ll ensure their schedule stays as close to normal as possible. Whether they need midday potty breaks, structured leash training, or extra cuddle time, I’m there to provide attentive, loving care that keeps them happy and stress-free while you're away. I provide loving, attentive care in your pet’s own home, ensuring they remain in a familiar, stress-free environment while you're away. I believe in positive reinforcement training, rewarding good behavior with praise, treats, and encouragement. Every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to understand their routine, preferences, and personality to provide the best possible care. Whether it's maintaining a structured leash training routine, ensuring a senior pet’s comfort, or just offering plenty of belly rubs and companionship, I prioritize their well-being and happiness. I also respect and care for your home as if it were my own, keeping things tidy, secure, and peaceful so you can return to a happy pet and a well-maintained space. Your pet’s safety and trust are my top priorities, and I’m dedicated to making their time without you as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

“Robin was great! She did 3 pre-visits (we booked her a month and a half in advance). She stayed in our home for almost three weeks. Gave us almost daily updates with pictures. Our two fur babies were calm and relaxed when we came home. The house was left clean and in order. Will be using her again when we go away!”

About: I have alot of love and affection to give to animals. I love to look after pets because it allows me to care for and love the pets while their owners are away. I have a large fenced yard where the animals can play and get their exercise in a secure area. I love to walk so walking dogs gives me the opportunity to get some exercise as well as make them happy. We had a beautiful husky of our own, but my oldest daughter took her when she moved out because her boyfriend had a dog, and I miss having animals in the house. I have fostered rescue dogs for 2 years now, and I have many references available from people that I have cared for their fur babies (both cats and dogs). I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am available for daily drop in visits, weekly visits or longer stays. I also provide daily dog walking. I have no pets of my own in the house I have a big backyard where the pups can run around, and also close to dog parks and lots of walking trails. I have crates if your pet likes the comfort of a crate, and lots of toys. I have a large basement for cats if they like their own space

About: I had cats growing up, and then a Husky for the last 8 years. We travel a lot so for the next few years, we are not interested in owning an animal but I would love to care for yours. I am currently a substitute teacher, with my summers off. At the moment my child is currently gone for school and it is just me and my husband at home. We both love animals and we have a big backyard with a fence. We travel frequently to see our son, so we don't want a permanent pet, but we would love to take care of yours. We love going for walks, going to dog parks and spending time with animals. My husband works shift work and I am around all summer and I work casually during the school year. We live in a single attached home, with multiple rooms. When we had our husky, we would take him for walks and on vacations, but when we were at home he would generally just hang out on the couch or outside in our backyard. We can kennel your pet at night or they would be welcome to join us anywhere in the house.

“Colby was absolutely amazing! She treated our two labby's like her own; cuddles, xtra pets, treatos, etc. She also kept in contact with me the whole time that we were gone; sent pics of the girls and cute texts. First time that we had not left them with family, and it was a great experience. Colby is officially our GO TO! Please hire her!!! (Just not when we need her, lol).”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I started high school. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets and make sure they are well taken care of! I have a senior dog currently so he needs a lot of attention and daily activity. I do my best to make him feel happy, healthy and cared for :) Usually I do drop-ins but I do in house sitting as long as it is within my preferred area! I make sure pets are comfortable and happy in their space while also playing and taking care of them.

About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes breeds and personalities my whole life. I am comfortable and confident caring for dogs that are small, large, shy, social young or old. For the past two years, I have volunteered as an advanced dog walker with Edmonton Humane Society, where I have received hands-on training with their expert Behaviour Team. I’m currently completing an online diploma, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I’m available for pet care throughout the week and on weekends morning afternoon or evening. Since my studies are self-paced I am able to easily prioritize your pets needs and give them attention time and care they deserve whenever it’s needed. While I don’t host pets in my own home, I have plenty of experience, caring for pets in their own space and staying at clients homes. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure in a familiar environment so I always do my best to maintain the usual routine Whether it’s drop visits or overnight stays I treat your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect

About: I'm a university student who loves caring for animals. Between part-time jobs, pet care has become my favourite way to stay connected to animals and earn a little extra, and I bring real enthusiasm to every visit. I've been around animals my whole life. I had my dog for 9 years, and my childhood cat lived to an incredible 21 years old... so I'm completely comfortable with pets of all ages, temperaments, and routines, from high-energy puppies to senior animals who need a gentler touch. Beyond my own pets, I have hands-on experience with drop-in visits and care for other people's dogs and cats. I have a returning client whose cat and dog I've looked after multiple times while they travel. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I always keep owners in the loop with photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. As an outdoors person who loves walking and running, I'm especially great with active dogs who need real exercise (not just a quick lap around the block). That said, I'm just as happy with a calm check-in, a cuddle session, and a cozy afternoon for pets who prefer it lowkey. I currently work part-time and keep my Rover calendar updated regularly to reflect my availability. I’m generally available Fridays and Saturdays, and I’m also happy to take bookings on additional days off throughout the week as my schedule allows. I understand the importance of reliability and communication, so I make sure to keep my availability updated week-to-week and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. Whether it’s a scheduled walk, drop-in visit, or last-minute check-in, I aim to provide dependable care and flexibility whenever possible. I always aim to provide calm, reliable, and attentive care while keeping pets comfortable in their usual routine and environment. During walks, I pay close attention to safety, leash handling, traffic, and each dog’s individual temperament and energy level. I’m also comfortable with active dogs and happy to provide longer walks or runs when needed. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, food if needed, bathroom breaks, attention, and companionship while keeping the home secure and tidy. I value clear communication and provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.

This is the first time we have ever had someone other than family to take care of our pets and home while away. We can’t be more thrilled with the way Jessica took care of our home and Mr Buttons and Miss Mabel were well taken care of and super happy. Jessica is a kind, calm and responsible young lady and if you can get her to take care of your pets and home don’t hesitate.

Jessica was amazing! Our first time having someone stay at our house with our dog Gigi. She kept me updated with pictures & messages, which gave me reassurance and piece of mind. Gigi was in good hands, even cuddled up to Jessica at bedtime, too cute. They definitely made friends with each other. I will definitely be booking with Jessica again!!

We had Cassidy watch our two pups Kai and Koji, twice now, first from July 10th to the 20th while we were in Cape Breton, and again from August 13th to the 15th while were at our trailer, and we genuinely couldn't be happier with her care. Kai and Koji are not exactly small dogs. Kai is at least 120 lbs, and Koji is 95 lbs, and they both have absolutely no concept of their size 🙃. Because of how big and strong they both are, I do get nervous leaving them, especially with someone who hasn't cared for them before. Their size alone can make finding the right person a little intimidating, and I'm also just very, very, overprotective of my boys, which makes finding someone I truly trust even harder. Cassidy completely put those worries at ease. She followed every instruction I left for feeding, including weighing out their food and making sure their meals were prepared exactly as I asked. Koji can be a little bit of a challenge I'm gone, especially when it comes to eating. He will only eat his food if he's being spoon fed, and you cannot show any frustration while doing it because he gets nervous and will stop eating. It's honestly so ridiculous (I know 😂), but Cassidy had absolutely no problem with this and was incredibly patient and accommodating with him. She was always there on time in the mornings to let them out, spent lots of time with them, walked them, and had no issues getting them settled in for bed. Koji also absolutely adored her little boy, Lucass. They got along so well, and Koji was more than happy to give him lots of kisses ❤️. I had mentioned that I was a little nervous about having Lucass around Kai simply because he is such a large dog and his tail is basically a weapon. It wasn't that I was nervous Kai would hurt him, I just wanted to make sure everyone was safe and comfortable. Cassidy was incredibly respectful of that concern and was very mindful of it throughout their time together. Communication with Cassidy was also amazing. She was always quick to respond when I asked about the pups, sent pictures, wasn't scared to ask questions, and kept me updated. One time she wasn't able to come herself, and so her husband came to let the dogs out instead. She made sure to check in with me beforehand so I knew someone else would be coming, which I really appreciated. She brought in packages, started our dishwasher before we got home, which was awesome. I also want to mention how much this meant to me personally. I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to leaving our boys with people we don't know, especially because we've had some genuinely awful experiences with previous dog sitters. One sitter actually stopped showing up for several days without telling us, leaving our dogs locked inside while we were away without food, or being let out to go to the bathroom. Because of experiences like that, leaving them usually has me checking my phone constantly to make sure they're okay. With Cassidy, I didn't feel that way. I actually felt comfortable enough to relax and enjoy our trip knowing they were being cared for. Both my fiance and I have been incredibly impressed with Cassidy. We are so happy we found her, and have absolutely found our new dog sitter. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, responsible, and genuinely wonderful with their pets. Thanks so much for taking care of our boys 🐶💙🐶.

This was our first time leaving our dog Hudson, so we were understandably anxious and worried leading up to our trip. Sam immediately put our minds at ease with her frequent communication, photos, and updates throughout our time away. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Hudson was with her, and it was clear that she genuinely cared for him and treated him like her own. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless house, and truly could not have asked for a better experience or sitter. We are so grateful to Sam for taking such wonderful care of Hudson and our home. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and we can’t wait to have her back again in the future!

Shane and Tracy continue to deliver excellent care to our pets! We were away for 2 weeks and they were there throughout missed flights, travel delays, and changes in schedule, ensuring our pets were looked after until we landed. I can't think of a better example of what you'd want when someone is looking after your pets - they're just awesome!

FAQs for House Sitting - Leduc

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Leduc is $58 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $71 per night. 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.

As of November 2026, there are 638 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Leduc. About 89% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Leduc 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Leduc 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 Leduc 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, a background 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.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
