“We liked Beth from the moment we met her. She came across as upbeat and cheerful. This was our first time hiring her, and she did a wonderful job. She was always on time, spent extra time with our pets each day, and sent us great photos and updates. If you’re considering her services, I would highly recommend her.”
“Kirsten replied promptly at my questions via texting and send me a photo of Shalom. She was very accommodating and flexible since Shalom is 17 years old and needed extra special care, like taking her down the stairs and up the stairs for poeping and peeing outside. She also tried to get her to eat, since she struggles to eat these days. Thanks Kirsten for keeping my dog alive and well.:)”
“Brittany was awesome! My kitty does NOT like strangers, but Brittany was so patient with her, I think she actually made a friend. She was a great communicator and the whole process was seamless. 100% will hire Brittany again.”
“We absolutely love Julie doing drop ins with our boys whenever we go away. She spoils them rotten and her write ups and photos are always both greatly appreciated and usually make us feel so at ease about how our boys are doing.”
“Laura kept excellent care of my four cats and home while I was away internationally for 16 days. She consistently maintained four kitty litter pans daily, refilling water & food dishes and provided daily treats, as well as love & attention. On top of this, she completed routine checks throughout the home to ensure cleanliness and safety for my cats, including cleaning up any puke or mess spots. Laura provided plenty of information and reassurance, and was always quick and easy to communicate with. I returned to happy cats and a clean home. I’m completely satisfied with Laura’s services and will continue to book her in the future!”
“Becky was great with Nahla. Her and her son came over and played with her and gave her lots of attention. She was happy to see me when I got home, but not as needy as she has been in the past. Thank you!”
“Amy went above and beyond to make sure my boys and place were well taken care of. She followed all my instructions and provided me with daily pictures and detailed updates. I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her care. And the boys seemed to love her as well! Thanks Amy :)”
“Rachel was fantastic! I needed care for my high maintenance senior dog while I was away for several days. Rachel took great care of her and even went above and beyond. Great communication and spent the full half hour keeping her company even when she was finished feeding etc. Rachel, thank you so much!”
“Sarah has watched my French Bulldog, Honey, multiple times and I can’t recommend her enough! She’s reliable and I trust her having access to my home when I’m not there. Honey is always taken care of and tired out after their walks and drop in visits together. I also appreciate that she always sends a picture of Honey so I know she’s in good hands while I’m out.”
“Chanda did a great job checking in on our cats and being reliable/communicative. I feel really comfortable letting her continue to coax our shy kitty out to get some love while we are away next time!”
“I was a bit nervous using the app for the first time, but Brittany is amazing! I was able to relax knowing she was stopping by and checking on my dog. I also appreciated the picture updates. Highly recommend!!”
About: As a dedicated and trustworthy pet sitter, I provide loving, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. With hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments as well as cats. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement in keeping pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away. I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine to ensure pets feel secure in their own environment. Whether it’s energetic playtime, gentle senior care, or maintaining structured schedules, I treat every pet with all the love and respect they deserve. I’m an RDP student but will only have classes for at maximum three hours a day. This gives me plenty of time to tend to any pet in my care especially if they can’t be alone for long due to age, medication schedules or even separation anxiety. I specialize in providing reliable, in-home pet care that keeps pets comfortable in their own familiar environment. By caring for animals in their owner’s home, I help reduce stress, maintain routines, and ensure pets feel safe and secure while their families are away. As well as taking care of their home, keeping things clean and organized so that when a client comes home it is stress free.
About: We always had dogs around growing up, but the majority of my experience has been with my own dog, Kit Kat, who I have raised from a pup to now being 10 years old. I'm also a happy mum to an elderly cat and two rabbits. Having intimate knowledge of how to care for many different types of animals means I'll be best able to care for yours, like they are my own. I work from home so it's easy to work around any type of schedule that your pet might need, including feeding times, walks, etc. Whatever makes them most comfortable. I have extensive experience with animals, including knowing the signs to watch for in cats and small pets who are sick. I also have experience with reactive dogs, which can be helpful for long walks.
About: Hello! My name is Luisa, and my pets are my whole world. I promise to take care of your babies as if they were my own. I am especially passionate about working with animals who may be fearful or have special needs. I have previously completed a two-year apprenticeship under a force-free dog trainer in Calgary, and although I am not currently working as a trainer due to completing my master's, what I learned informs all my interactions with animals. Through fostering and our own pets, I have experience administering medications to a wide range of animals (dogs, cats, bearded dragons, geckos, hedgehogs). Please let me know if you have any questions, I'd love to answer them. I am in Red Deer Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I can be somewhat flexible around this; if you need overnight care slightly outside these parameters, please feel free to reach out! My pets would describe me as a helicopter mom, I would describe me as attentive! When I travel, our pet-sitter gets a multi-page document on everyone's needs, so I am not intimidated to receive the same; this just means I can adjust my routine to your pet(s)'...it is their home after all!

I had such a positive experience with Brandi, she was so great with my pup who can be a bit stubborn with new people. She loved them up and always kept me up to date with what was going on with my animals & sent such cute photos of them ! I will definitely be using her services again in the future ! Thanks Brandi!
Jelena is such a wonderful and kind person. Even more, all our pets truly adored her (evident by our most shy and nervous pets allowing her to cuddle them within minutes of meeting her). She was on time and her communication was wonderful! Highly recommend her :)

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.

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.
