“Carina took very good care of our sweet and shy Luna. We instantly felt comfortable with leaving Luna for the weekend and received many updates. We would definitely recommend Carina- she is gentle, kind and attentive. We will absolutely use her dog sitting services again.”
“"Five stars for Ginette! Our dog, Cookie, stayed with her for 4 days and had a blast. Ginette was wonderful about sending daily updates so we knew Cookie was happy and settled. It's clear she loves animals and takes her job seriously. Cookie really enjoyed her stay!"”
“Wonderfully welcoming lady and gracious hostess to our dog for an overnight boarding. Our dog had her home and fenced yard to himself with no other pets in the house, with many walks to a nearby park. Darlene kept us well informed on how our boy was doing, and he was comfortable with her immediately. A great communicator and we feel so fortunate to have found this loving atmosphere in which to board our pet with. HIGHLY Recommend booking with Darlene and we look forward to doing so again!”
“We left our dog Detective with Sarah for 4 days and she was always updating us with pictures. Detective was so happy and would still react if we mention Leroy and Lucky’s names.”
“I highly recommend Janelle! I went away overnight and leaving my fur baby with her made it completely stress and worry free! My dog has a little bit of health issues and she was so understanding and tended to my dog perfectly! Janelle sent lots of updates and photos, it was great!”
“Teaghan was wonderful to chat with leading up to time of drop off - this was just as important for me, as she was genuinely interested in how to keep our dog safe, comfortable and well taken care of. She was even willing to meet before hand to get to meet and greet with our pup as it was our first time using a sitter for our dog. Frequent texts, picture updates and great exercise Completed the care for our dog. I could tell on pick up that our dog wasn’t stressed, nor eager to leave. Would definitely recommend Teaghan for her services and will use her again, myself, for any doggy sitting needs. Great work, keep it up!”
About: I have been a dog owner for over 20 years. I recently had to let my ole girl pass over the rainbow, such an heartbreaking decision to make. She was happy as the only dog if the house and I had a desire for more happy tails! So I decided to start walking dogs and doing pet visits so that I could fulfill my need for more waggy tails! I do work a local job that runs Monday -Friday, but am done by 3:15. I schedule my walks for 3:15 and after.I do get a 30 min lunch break that I can do washroom breaks for pets if needed. Walks are 30-45 mins. I do have weekends and evenings off, this is where I make the time for pups/cats. I do not tend to bring other dogs to my home, I have done so on occasion but only after my dog has had a chance to meet our new furry visitor. I do dog walks, visits and out door adventures for your pup. I even take some of my 4 legged friends to the back country roads, for that nice open free run!
“Shelley and her fam were amazing with my guy! He was treated like part of the fam and was comfortable right away! I did not have any anxiety leaving my dog with her! Her home is very dog friendly and my guy had the best time of his life he played so hard and was pooped the whole day once he was home ! Can’t recommend her enough 🤍”
“Jennifer was absolutely great with my little guy. Constantly kept me updated and sent pictures. Was very nice to talk to and gave Crosby tons of attention. I highly recommend her if your looking for a sitter for your best friend.”
“Laura ans John were fabulous with my Schnauzer Dexter as were their dogs. They took care of him like he was their own. Dexter was super happy when I picked him up. We will definitely use them again.”
About: I have experience with every kind of dog you can name. Experienced in giving needles and oral medication, following detailed instructions and enjoying every quirk your pet has. Whatever they need, I can handle it. Take a break, you deserve it! Pet care is my full time job, send me the dates and times you’d like and we can make it work. Talk to you soon! I will care for your dogs like they are my own, they will not be running wild or off the walls. They will be happy.

Tanner was great with our Winnie. He sent us pictures of their night. Winnie is still a young pup and Tanner had no problems taking a puppy and made the sleep over as stress free for her as much as possible. He said she was really good which was a good thing to hear. Will definitely rebook with Tanner again.
The dogs enjoyed being with Denise; it was evident but all the photos and videos that she provided. It gave us peace of mind to know that they were so comfortable and happy during there time there. We will definitely use Denise again and the dogs will be thrilled to return to their second home ☺️
Ginette was the best buddy for my pup while I was away for a week! Every day I heard about how my dog had been that day and the activities that she enjoyed! So it was more than just getting cute pictures! It was reports about what she had done and how happy she was. Ginette was faithful to touching base with me, which made my time away worry free. I was most nervous about how my dog would do at night, but Ginette became her safe place; space to relax and rest! Ginette really listens to the details and special things I asked her to offer my dog. I feel Ginette is a very kind, intuitive care giver and I highly recommend her. Ginette has a special way with my dog and they became very good friends. My little pup truly enjoyed her time with Ginette! A whole week worry free!! Thank you Ginette!!!
We highly recommend Cathy-Lea and Paul for dog sitting. Their home and yard are very secure and safe, which gave us complete peace of mind. Our dog is an extremely picky eater, but Cathy-Lea went above and beyond to encourage him to eat during his four-day stay. Her patience, dedication, and genuine care for his well-being were greatly appreciated. They also provide honest and helpful feedback about your dog’s stay, which we found very valuable. We would not hesitate to leave our dog with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring dog sitters.

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.

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.
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.

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.
You and your Red Deer sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
