“I would absolutely recommend Ginette to anyone looking for a pet sitter! From the initial meet and greet to the check-ins with our dogs, Ginette was incredibly responsive, kind, and provided the best care and attention to our two dogs. She is very knowledgeable about how to approach dogs (especially our anxious one) and made sure they felt comfortable and safe. It’s very evident that she truly loves animals, which gave us so much comfort while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and care she put into everything, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands.”
“Our long term cat sitter retired on short notice after looking after our fur babies for 15 years. We decided to try Caylee out and we were not disappointed! She took us on with short notice, followed instructions for giving medication for our older cat and was very communicative while we were away. She was respectful of our home and we had a good laugh about one of our kitties who is scared of everyone and everything. Highly recommended if you require someone trustworthy and reliable to take good care of your pets!”
About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats throughout different stages of life. I raised my own dog from puppyhood through his senior years, including providing extra care and patience as he got older. I’ve also trained and taken care of my other puppy. In addition, I’ve cared for my housemate’s dog and cat — taking the dog on walks, cleaning up accidents, feeding, and making sure both pets felt comfortable and cared for while their owner was away or busy. I’m very patient, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, and I try to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while in my care. Pet care fits well into my daily routine alongside my work in the restaurant industry. I currently balance bartending/waitressing with making time for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention and care. I’m used to staying organized and dependable with routines, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals as part of my day. I always aim to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, well cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible. For dogs, I make sure they get regular potty breaks throughout the day, walks once or twice daily depending on their energy level and routine, fresh food and water, attention, affection, and playtime. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, whether that means giving them exercise and stimulation or simply helping them feel calm and relaxed. I also stay on top of cleaning up any accidents and keeping the space clean and comfortable. For cats, I make sure they always have fresh food and water available, a clean environment, and attention on their terms so they feel safe and comfortable. I pay attention to their routines and behaviors, including letting them in or out as needed and making sure they’re doing well overall. I understand that every pet is different, so I try to adapt to each animal’s personality, comfort level, and routine to help them feel cared for while their owner is away.
“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!!”
“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.”

“We just started using Rover app and Ashka as our dog sitter and so far it has been great. We like the many features of the app and appreciate very much Ashka’s services. Ashka has been great with our pup and we have been able to ask and answer all the questions we have had. The pictures, videos and info Ashka sent us showed they both had fun, and provided big peace of mind to us. Looking forward to having Ashka visit and play with our four-legged baby.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.:)”

“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!”
“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!”
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.

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.
“We had Beth come visit our 3 cats while we went away for 5 weeks. She had the perfect amount of communication with us when there were signs our kitties were struggling. She was a total pro in every way and her PHOTOS brought us life because we missed our kitties terribly during the trip. She not only ensured that they were well cared for, litter boxes clean etc. but she gave them some quality time and snuggles and it's clear she truly enjoys spending time with pets. I would recommend Beth to anyone looking to set up home visits for an upcoming trip. Thank you Beth!”

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 :)

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 Red Deer 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.
