“What an amazing loving ‘2nd home’ for Quinn! From the minute we walk in it’s all about Quinn! Carina is not only attentive to him, but ensures she answers any questions I may have…and the photos! Wow. He is so calm and well tuckered out when I pick him up. Thank you Carina😀”
“I am sooooo happy to have found Denise! I have never used a rover before and would go to great lengths to find care for my dog that I felt comfortable with and it’s just a nice feeling to have found someone reliable who my dog loves and I feel happy knowing she’s having a blast when I’m gone. When I dropped my dog off on the last stay, she was soooo happy to see Denise, it definitely reassured me that I’m dropping her off at a safe and happy place :)”
“I give Ginette a 10 out of 10 review for friendliness, efficiency, kindness, and excellent care for our muffin. She obviously loves and enjoys dogs and we highly recommend her as an excellent dog sitter. Thank you Ginette. Bruce and Karela”
“I rarely need pet sitting or over night care so I appreciated that Sarah was open to a meet and greet the day before drop off. I liked her two dogs right away and Scottie happily went into Sarah’s house at drop off. He spent the night and a full day with Sarah and her family and doggos. He was tired the next day so I think he enjoyed his time. Sarah was quick to respond to my messages. I’ll definitely use her the next time I’m in need of a sitter!”
“Carolyn is awesome! She had Jade for 2 nights and took very good care of her. Jade felt at ease and comfortable in her home the moment I dropped her off. Great communication the entire time. Would definitely recommend !”

“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!
“Alexis sat for our two dogs for two nights and they were well taken care of while we were gone. She ensured that they went on their walks, fed, and fully cuddled during their stay! She communicates well and kept us informed with all we needed to know and sent pictures of our pets during our stay. I recommend Alexis to care for your pets’ needs!”
“Janelle had our dog Luna over night at her home and she was absolutely wonderful. Janelle sent pictures throughout the stay, and stayed in good contact. Luna is a shy girl, and she seemed to feel really comfortable with Janelle. We will definitely be contacting Janelle again to take care of our girl.”
“I booked with Taylor pretty last minute for boarding and she was so accommodating! She totally eased my mind sending me pictures and updates about my dog while I was gone. I can tell she cares for animals as if they were her own. 🥰 I highly highly recommend Taylor!”
“Laura and John took great care of our Jojo and they even took her in on short notice. We have taken her there twice now and both times she had a blast. Even got a bath after digging in the dirt the first time. We will definitely be back. Thanks again for taking Jojo in onsuch short notice.”
“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.”
“We were very happy in leaving our little LaceyMae in the care of Jenna. She showed genuine love and provided a safe environment that we felt confident that our little girl was in good hands. She also sent updates and pictures which we appreciated. Thank you, Jenna!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Red Deer
Carina and Avi are incredible doggie sitters. My Mom's little dog is spoiled and loves one on one attention. They gave him a couple of walks, lots of exercise and playing, and played him out by the end of the day. We will definitely book with Carina again in the future. Love love!
Tanner was very professional and adaptable. One of my dogs is a new to me rescue. There was some uncertainty about how he may adapt. Tanner took this in stride and our initial meet and greet allayed any of my concerns. Their home was well suited for dogs having nearly all hardwood floors and a fenced in back yard. Tanner has his own dog that quickly became playful and social. I was in India and was not necessarily readily accessible, but Tanner made sure to send me nearly daily photos and updates to ease my mind. I would definitely recommend Tanner to anyone looking for a sitter! The dogs benefited much more being with his loving family. Thank you so much Tanner.
"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!"
Taylor was great! We had a meet and greet to see how our dog would do. Taylor was very calm with her, which made me feel very comfortable. Our dog only stayed the day, not over night, and it all worked out fine. Taylor gave us a quick update with a photo, which was nice!. I would definitely have our dog stay with her again.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Red Deer home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Red Deer
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 .
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.
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.
