About: I’ve grown up around all different kinds of animals, I’ve volunteer at shelters and also worked at a dog kennel. I have two dogs of my own aswell! I currently working part time, and I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets, and give them lots of love and exercise. I will follow your instructions about your pets care/ needs and make sure I do everything that will make sure they feel comfortable and safe.
About: My French Bulldog mix passed away 3 years ago at the old age of 13. Since then I've been wanting a new dog but with kids and life it's just not the right time for our family. Hoping to fill the void by caring for your pet! I would be honored if you trusted us with caring for a member of your family. Dogs who stay with me get walks through the beautiful University of Alberta farm. I would love to try and run with your dog as well if they would like that. I typically run 3-5 km once per week and my previous house guests seem to love the excersize. In the summer we often spend weekends at the family cabin and our furry friends always have an amazing time visiting. The cabin is 1 hour west of the city - a perfect dog retreat. All furry visitors are welcome and showered with attention. All family at the cabin are either previous or current dog owners including two that have been through service dog training. I do work full time but close to home. Our household, along with two boys one 15 and one 7 years old. Evenings are spent together enjoying the outdoors when we can. We'd love to have a dog come and enjoy our evening time together and helping us make sure we don't skip our evening walks. We would love your pet as if they were our own. Daily walks, love and attention. Pets would sleep with me or in the crate whatever you prefer. Can keep up with training as needed.
“I am avwry happy with Eunji. She's on time and sends lots of videos and photos and updates when she comes over. My dog Nigel loves her and I recommend Eunji to everyone who's looking for a dog sitter.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Pets have always been an important part of my life, and I treat them like family members. I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and want to provide reliable, compassionate care when their owners can't be there. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including senior pets, and I'm comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. I also have experience with shy and anxious pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and earning an animal's trust. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to provide care that matches their individual personality and needs. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand how important trust and communication are. I'll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident they're happy, safe, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own senior cat and understand the importance of consistency, reliability, and attention to detail when it comes to pet care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. When caring for a client's pet, I make it a priority to follow their routine as closely as possible and provide the attention, exercise, companionship, and care their pet needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care is something I look forward to rather than simply another task on my schedule. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's individual needs and preferences. During drop-in visits, I'll ensure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks as needed, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection. For cats, I'll also scoop litter boxes and keep their area clean and comfortable. For dogs, I'll provide safe, enjoyable walks tailored to their age, energy level, and abilities. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk or a slower-paced stroll with lots of sniffing and exploring, I'll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“I wanted to say thank you to Kevin for taking such good care of my little guy. Kevin went over and above for my little guy taking him on walks and spending time with him while I was away from work. I felt at ease knowing my pup was well taken care of while I was away. Very happy with the service thank you again Kevin so much!!”
“Samana was so amazing with my 4 babies! She made me feel so reassured and sent me lots of photos and updates through her visit. If I were to leave my cats alone I’d always rebook with her, she’s also such a ray of sunshine!! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!”
“Madalynn was excellent. I have a very anxious, jumpy Great Dane that Madalynn met, and she was very calm about his frustration and anxiety. She worked with him using treats and was able to settle him. She never showed any fear at all! I will have her back again!”
“Blayne was very professional and friendly. She sent many updates with pictures and videos of my cat Bravo after the visits, and allowed me to have a peaceful trip knowing Bravo was in good hands! Thank you so much Blayne.”
“Ardele was very professional and loving towards my 2 cats while we took our first big trip away from them. I felt totally comfortable leaving them in her hands. We had daily updates and pictures so it made our trip less stressful knowing they were being looked after so well. Side note, one of my cats is a little snarky and Ardele was able to make friends with him in no time ❤️”
“Belle was great at check-ins with our dogs - she came with treats, had outside time with them, and was able to handle their personalities well!! Our dogs were well cared for by her!”
About: Hi! I’m Bell! I’ve had dogs my entire life and am experienced in taking care of both large dogs and senior dogs! I am also comfortable around reactive dogs and understand their particular needs. Dogs are creatures of habit, so I do my best to keep up with their usual routines in your stead making the stressful separation from their family as least disruptive to their life as possible! I have entirely open availability and am able to do same day scheduling. I am flexible and can adapt to the routines and schedules you and your pets prefer. My main goal is to ensure that your pet feels just as comfortable in their home as they always do. Before you leave I will ask you for their regular routine, habits, walk routes, peculiarities, etc, to make sure that the experience brings as little stress as possible to your pet. I am also aware that some pets are more cuddly than others and will always do my best to respect their boundaries and allow them space to decompress. Typically, if they have a bed or other sleeping/relaxing area, I respect that that is their space and won’t approach them there unless absolutely necessary.
About: Hi! We’re Cam and Vitória, a married couple who love animals and staying active. With 5+ years of pet care experience, we’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from playful puppies to easygoing seniors. What sets us apart? We do this as a team! That means extra reliability, more attention for your pets, and a lot of genuine care from experienced pet owners. We offer dog walking (perfect for pets who need exercise and fresh air) and drop-in visits (great for cats, dogs, or multi-pet households). Whether it’s a potty break, playtime, feeding, or just some extra cuddles, we’ll make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. We’re also happy to provide updates and photos when needed. We are both hybrid workers with flexible schedules. We have our own two cats that we take care of, but we’re also very active people who go for long walks often. We’re a reliable two-person team with flexible, hybrid work schedules, so your pet gets punctual care and lots of attention. For dog walks, we do a quick gear check (harness fit, ID tags), choose safe, low-traffic routes, and keep dogs on-leash at all times. For drop-ins, we follow your routine exactly, with feeding, litter/yard clean-up, water refresh, and a tidy lock-up.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rideau Park
Katie was booked last minute when we required someone to check in on our dog while we were away for the day. She was easy to communicate with, had an updated schedule showing her availability and even scheduled in a quick meet and greet before the day we needed her. We appreciated her detailed report on the visit!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Rideau Park stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.
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 Rideau Park 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 .

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.
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.
