“Tucker loved Caylee as soon as he met her. Such a comfort to leave knowing that my boy would be in such good hands. He was always worn out from his walks, exactly what we needed!”
“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.
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: Hey there! A little about me.. I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Anyone who knows me knows I am a dog loving person. I am caring and responsible and I have a strong love for animals. I’ve raised dogs of different breeds. My friends and family trust me with their pets and my dogs are my babies. I love meeting new dogs and I’m looking forward to meeting yours! 🙂 I work a 14/14 rotation and when I’m not at work I like to spend my days outside doing activities which include lots of walks at three mile bend (Marley loves the river) and we do lots of walks around my neighbourhood. There are some really nice walking trails we like to explore. While I am home I have no obligations that will interfere with me caring for your pet. My house has a huge backyard that is completely fenced with nothing that puppies or adult dogs can get into. It’s well kept. My dog Marley, LOVES having friends over.
About: I have been blessed with the ability to dog sit all sorts of breeds for the past 13 years. From toy poodles, Shih Tzu’s, to Doberman pinschers. I have loved every minute of it. I especially enjoy working with senior pets. I love to bring them some fun as well as calmness in their senior years and love on them as much as possible. I love getting to take things at their speed. Having just lost the ten year old Doberman I had cared for full time for a year and a half, having taken some time to mourn her loss, I am now ready to bring on someone new. I am available to come to your home, where your dog is most comfortable to sit for the day or even a few hours. Or if it is more convenient to welcome your dog into my home. I love being able to take dogs for walks for some good exercise or just to get their business done. I will treat your dog as if they are my very own, and I mean that! As a stay at home mom, with my children getting older and currently in middle school, I am looking for something to get me out of the house, and bring me a sense of fulfillment. I love having a really good reason to go for a walk. Having a dog to walk is to me the ultimate reason to get outside! I am extremely flexible to schedule and whatever routine will meet you and your dogs needs. I have a small fenced back yard. I live just off of Kin Kanyon and there are many trails to be taken advantage of. I do have a cat who simply ignores most dogs. If she is a concern I can happily put her into the basement with the door closed while the dog is visiting.
About: I’ve been fortunate enough to have had dogs throughout my entire life. Most of my friends and family have dogs, which has given me the experience to handle both big and small breeds and many different personalities. I currently have a puppy named Freya. I also shared many years with my previous dog, Daga, a husky/Mal mix who passed away at the age of 12, and Duke our black lab that passed away at almost 15. Dogs are a big part of my family, and my life, so I understand that they are more than just a pet, and they all deserve to be treated with excellent care. I am currently a stay at home mome with a very flexible schedule, making it easy for me to work around you and your pets needs. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will provide a calm and secure environment. Pets will always be supervised and cared for according to their routine. I will take the time to understand each pet’s needs and follow all your instructions closely. I treat every animal like my own and keep pet parents updated so they can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
About: With 12+ years of personal and professional pet care experience—and a lifetime of growing up around and loving animals—I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, giving them extra attention, making sure they feel secure while you're away, or slipping medication into their food, I care for every pet as if they were my own. With a flexible schedule, I can be there whenever your pet needs me. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m available to provide consistent, attentive care that fits their routine and keeps them happy while you're away. I prioritize keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home by following their usual routine, giving them plenty of attention, and ensuring their environment stays secure. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or medication, I make sure they’re well cared for while keeping the home clean and secure. My goal is to make your pet feel at ease and give you peace of mind while you're away.
About: Your pets aren’t just pets — they’re family! I provide loving, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. With patience, attention, and plenty of affection, I make sure your furry family feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. You can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands! 🐾 I’m semi-retired and work part-time during the spring and summer months, which means I’m home most of the winter and have plenty of time to provide your pets with the love, attention, and care they deserve. My home is pet-friendly, smoke-free, and has a fully fenced yard where your furry family members can safely enjoy some fresh air and outdoor playtime. I also have a friendly senior dog, making my home a welcoming, relaxed, and comfortable environment for your pets to feel right at home.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Red Deer is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 94 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Red Deer. About 95% 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Red Deer after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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. 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.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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!
