“Ginette was fantastic. She came over prior to when I needed her to walk Grady just to meet him and for him to meet her. She is very comfortable and knowledgeable regarding dogs. She came at her scheduled time, walked Grady and stayed with him for awhile. I will definitely book her again when I need Grady walked.”
About: I have taken care of rescue dogs, both young mom and pups, along with pregnant dogs, to senior dogs. I grew up with different types of dogs and my grandfather raced greyhounds. I currently am at home. I do have my granddaughter after school, who loves animals. She has a cat. Going for walks would also help me get some exercise. I have an unfenced yard, so your dog would always be on a leash. I have a small senior dog that usually would accompany me on walks.
“Steph did an amazing job walking my dog while she was staying at my mother‘s house in red deer! It happened to be a very cold week, but my dog enjoyed being out in her sweater and getting some fresh air. Steph was extremely flexible with doing two shorter walks a day and worked well with my mom to coordinate times. Highly recommend Steph!”
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’m an RDP student but will only have classes for at maximum three hours a day.

Ginette was wonderful with our elderly dog! She absolutely loved her and was so excited to see her. It was so convenient having her come into the house, take her for his walk, and bring her back home. She came back happy and completely pooped, ready for a good nap! Thank you so much, Ginette. We really appreciated your care and kindness, and we will definitely be hiring you again. We look forward to using your services in the future!

There are 99 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Red Deer. About 96% of Red Deer sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Red Deer. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Red Deer.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Red Deer with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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!
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.
