“Sier was very conscientious and took great care with my senior cat. Good communication back and forth. When I came home my cat was calm and relaxed, purring and nicely groomed. I would highly recommend Sier as a sitter!!”
“Kerry was AH-MAZE-ING!! I needed a doggy drop-in last minute for my hurt puppers Freya (she's homebound with a cone) and Kerry was able to come straight away. She messaged me throughout her visit, gave Freya much needed head scratches and cuddles. It was a huge relief knowing that my doggo was ok and being cared for while I was at work. I will definitely be re-booking!!! Thanks again Kerry :)”
About: My husband and I have always loved dogs and had a golden retriever named Murphy, who we got in 2020. In 2024, he became paralyzed, and we cared for him for eight months before he crossed the rainbow bridge in 2025. We’re both marathon runners and spend a lot of time outdoors, so dogs in our care enjoy plenty of walks or runs, as appropriate and according to your schedule. We know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby while you’re away, so you can expect lots of photo updates and love while they’re with us. We are available for boarding well as dog walking or running in the evening. Our schedule allows us to be off all summer and other holidays such as Easter week and Christmas. We both work full-time but are typically home around 3:00pm which means lots of time to play after work or go for a walk/run. We have a fenced yard and live close to the trails for walks and runs. Dogs are part of the family in our house and are welcome on the couch. We will love your dog like our own. When Murphy became injured we spent the next 8 months managing his care including bladder expression, bowel expression, and his wheelchair. If you have a special needs dog please let us know and we can discuss what this could look like for boarding at our house. Due to the higher needs of a disabled dog there would be an additional cost which we are unable to add on to our services directly on Rover but can discuss this at the booking time.
“Genna did a great job taking care of our cats while we travelled out of town for Christmas. She gave detailed updates and sent lots of photos from each check in. She made sure our anxious cat was getting enough to eat and made sure they all got some cuddles and playtime. We will definitely hire her again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly love dogs and cats, they bring me so much joy! My parents have fostered dogs and cats since before I was born, so I’ve grown up helping care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve also pet sat for friends and family for several years, handling feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention! I’ve cared for all kinds of pets including small dogs, large dogs, puppies, senior dogs, kittens, and senior cats. I’m attentive, reliable, and genuinely committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I treat every animal like they’re my own and love building trust with each pet I care for! I'm currently a college student working part-time. I'm available weekdays from 3-10 pm. I am not available Tuesdays but am available all day on weekends! I am happy to coordinate a time that works best for your pets routine! I provide care in your pets home, so they can stay comfortable in their own space and routine. I provide walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention! I enjoy getting to know each pets personality and making sure they feel happy, safe and loved while your away!
About: I have had dogs all my life. I was a dog groomer for forty years in Calgary, owning and operating the Grooming Room. Humanitarian award recipient. I am retired so I am available 24/7. If you need me to stay in your home, be assured that's what I'lll do. Your pets will not be alone. Do not offer this service. I only do housesitting and drop-ins to your home for your cats or dogs. Me staying in your home is less stressful for your pet.
About: I was the devoted owner of a Rottweiler who recently passed, and caring for him was a huge part of my life. While I’m not quite ready to welcome another dog of my own yet, my home and heart still have so much love to give. I understand the responsibility, patience, and commitment it takes to care for a dog, and I treat every dog with the same attention, affection, and respect I gave my own. I’m calm, attentive, and focused on making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m happy to follow routines closely and provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for like family. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m home about 95% of the time and only step out briefly for small errands. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular walks, companionship, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will be cared for in a calm, attentive environment while you’re away. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment focused on your dog’s comfort and well-being. Because I work from home, dogs are closely supervised and never left alone for long periods. I follow your dog’s routines carefully, including feeding, walking, and any special instructions you provide. My home has a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I keep a clean, organized space with safety in mind. I’m comfortable caring for large breeds and strong dogs, and I’m happy to provide photo and text updates for your peace of mind. My approach is gentle, patient, and focused on making your dog feel secure and cared for like family while you’re away.
About: I'm an active walking with a Belgian Malinois X and 2 wonderful kids! If your dog is friendly, great with children, we're ready for some outdoor adventures together. Whether a brisk walk or a leisurely stroll, your dog is in good hands. I'm a stay-at-home mom attending online school. I have two kids, and we're always enjoy outdoors, especially when the weather is nice. We love to walk, explore, and have fun! If your dog is great with kids and other dogs, we'd love to have them join us for some exciting adventures. Its the perfect way to get outside, stay active, and make new furry friends! With plenty of time and attention to offer, I can provide constant care and ensure your dog feels safe and loved. The children are very much aware of different needs of different pets.
About: I don't have magic words to tell you. My dog Ruckus goes everywhere with me and I let him run around the no leash zones as much as I can here in Medicine Hat. We go to the dog park as much as we can so he is most safe. Ruckus and I also like to mingle with other friends. Staying safe, cleaning up after ourselves and just having a good time is all we are looking to do. My mother is a dog groomer so I have been actually caring for pets since I was a teenager. I understand it is the responsibility of the dog's handler at all times to keep the pet safe and out of harms way. Ruckus is my family so I take good care of him.
“I’ve had Alysha look after my boy Coba numerous times now and I’ll continue to do so.. She’s reliable, forth coming and goes above and beyond for her clients to ensure they are comfortable leaving their pets home.. I was unsure about leaving Coba home alone cuz he’s just a 7 month old puppy but Alysha provided consistency in communication and care and I have no concerns leaving him now :) Thank you Alysha!”
About: I have previous experience caring for family and friends’ furry friends as well as experience fostering dogs in my home through the Kingston humane society. I have experience working with various breeds and providing basic training for dogs. I’m currently in placement for school and im away for around 8 hours per day and have plenty of free time during the afternoon/evenings and weekends for pet care, walking, and visits. I live in a stand alone house with a fenced backyard and dog run! I will ensure the home is appropriately dog-proofed as needed and am able to follow/maintain feeding schedules and routines for your pup!
About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and loved caring for animals. I first started dog walking and pet sitting when I was in high school, and I’m so excited to be getting back into and spending my days with pets. I grew up with a whole zoo of animals, and currently get to share my life with my 5 year old keeshond, fluffy manx cat, and reptiles. I previously worked in the shelter environment for over a year. I also have fostered many litters of kittens and currently have a medical dog foster! I have taken the fear free animal handling course, learned basic veterinary first aid, and am very experienced with giving animals with extra needs medication or specialized care. I am also experienced and comfortable with ‘exotic’ pets, equine/farm animals, and multi pet homes. The services I provide are dog walking, check ins, daily visits, and pet taxi. What I offer is perfect for puppies, low maintenance pets that don’t need round the clock care, working/busy families, animals with special needs, and any cats/critters. I am available regularly during the hours of 8AM to 5PM. Additional hours available upon request. ** Please note: If requiring pet taxi, out of town care, or requiring visits outside of regular hours please message me first. For repeat clients, the option for in my home pet sitting may arise once that trust is built (: Dog walking: - 30 or 60 minute sessions - The option to opt for mentally stimulating play sessions for seniors/limited mobility pets rather than long walks - Willing to support leash training - Experienced with reactive dogs, or ones with specific requirements Optional: If your dog is dog friendly, willing to include them on walks with my dog if they would benefit from the company! Daily check ins: - Drop in style visits tailored to your routine - Can include feeding, fresh water change, companionship, litter or cage cleaning, outside potty time (for dogs), and light clean up - Option for a short walk upon request I offer daily detailed updates as well as lots of photos and videos. For regular clients, I also offer “walk journals” or summaries sent via email or message recapping: * What we did that day, where we went, what we saw (walks, play, enrichment) * How their mood and energy seemed * Notes on progress with training, confidence, or behaviour (if applicable) I am also very flexible and willing to work with last minute schedules. Please message with any questions or to set up a meeting! I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your furry (or not so furry) friends soon! I’m available regularly between 8AM - 5PM on weekdays. Weekend availability varies, send me a message! Optional additional hours outside of those upon request, I can make accommodations. In their own home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking to their routine and respecting their space. I approach every animal with calm, confident energy and let them set the pace for our interactions. I follow instructions carefully for feeding, medications, and special care needs. I am mindful of security, double checking door locks, gates, crates, and enclosures. I treat every home and pet with the same respect I give my own. I care for your pet with the same compassion and attentiveness I’d want shown to my own pets (:
About: I have had cats and dogs in my life for over 30 years. There is always at least one cat and dog in our home. I am currently looking for a new job, and have more te than hobbies which gives me plenty of time to take care of your pet. I enjoy spending time with animals, and make sure that they can't disappear out an open door or gate. I love playing with the cats, and keeping dogs busy while I spend time with them so that they are not getting stressed from being alone.
About: I've had animals all my life, they bring so much joy into a home and I have an empty one. I have lots of free time on my hands and what better way than to fill that time with helping animals get outside more. I communicate with the owners and abide by their rules that they have in their own homes but if allowed the dogs are free to cuddle on the couch or my bed. We have a big yard for them to run around and a dog pool. I have no animals or children. I'm not ready for the full commitment not until I am done school and have a full time job where I can build a schedule for me and my fur family. I don't work right now I'm doing school at home. I am home 7 days a week all day every day. I have all this time and I would like to use it for owners because I do understand how stressful it can be knowing your busy and can't take a animal out all the time for him or her to get their exercise. I don't have crates for crate trained dogs. I have a big back yard with a pool. I can do dog walking training with out abusing your fur family. We can even go over how I do my training. All food and treats I give to the animals will be owner approved but please pack your dogs food and treats. I also have no animals in my home.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Medicine Hat 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 .

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
