About: Drawing on the years I have been dog/cat sitting for family and friends I can ensure your furry family member will receive the love and attention they deserve. From playing with energetic puppies applying positive reinforcement to providing tender, attentive care for senior pets. I customize my services to meet the unique needs of every cherished companion. With me your pets are not just cared for they are truly valued and treated with exceptional care. My work schedule is Monday through Friday 7am-3pm, therefore I am available to pet sit and house sit for you Fridays after 3 pm through Sunday. I always ensure that every furry companion I care for receives the time and attention they deserve. If your pet feels happiest in their own space, I respect their comfort and preferences. Also with my flexible availability, your pets and home will be respectfully cared for and well looked after.
“Stephanie was friendly and professional and wonderful with our kitties. She showed up every day on time and sent pictures and updates throughout her stay. I would defintely recommend her!”
“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.:)”
“Brandi was wonderful! She communicated promptly and clearly, which gave us great peace of mind. She completed every task exactly as asked and went above and beyond to make sure our cats were well cared for. We truly appreciated her reliability and professionalism, and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again in the future.”
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.
“Rachel was fantastic! I needed care for my high maintenance senior dog while I was away for several days. Rachel took great care of her and even went above and beyond. Great communication and spent the full half hour keeping her company even when she was finished feeding etc. Rachel, thank you so much!”
“My cats are usually very skittish with new people, but with our very first visit they seemed so comfortable around Caylee. That, and also how considerate she was of instructions eased any anxieties i had about leaving my fur babies behind <3”
“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!”
“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!”
“Brittany makes it easy to go out for the day knowing your pets are in good hands. She sends updates and pictures from the visits so you can feel at ease knowing your furry family members are in great hands.”
“Amy is absolutely wonderful! She cared for my two fur-babies, Taz and Batman, on very short notice and handled everything with ease. From the start, she asked all the questions to make sure she understood their needs and routines. Amy was reliable and punctual for all four visits, and I always looked forward to the photos and detailed updates she sent. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing my cats were safe, happy, and loved while I was away. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter!”
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.
“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.”
“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!”
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 offer personalized, loving care for puppies and senior pets, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I’ll be a friendly companion, keeping your pet’s routine and comfort top of mind. I can offer personalized care and attention whenever needed, ensuring your pet gets the love, exercise, and companionship they deserve at any time of day. Although I am currently a student, I prioritize making time for my passions and hobbies. This being one of them! In both my home and your pet’s home, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment where your pet feels at ease. I maintain a pet-proof space to ensure their safety, and I follow their routines closely to provide consistency. Building trust is key, and I make sure to provide plenty of attention, care, and affection to help them feel secure and loved while you're away.
“We absolutely love Julie. Great communication. Deals with all the ups and downs our boys can throw at her so amazingly. We trust her completely taking care of our boys and highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“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.”

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 :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Red Deer on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 100 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Red Deer. About 85% 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.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Red Deer stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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 .
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 pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
