“It was suggested that I write a review but it's probably a bit early after two walks with Alex. Suffice it to say that we are very happy so far. Judy is very calm, and that works well with Alex because he can be a bit hyper. I also appreciate the detailed feedback of the walk and his various stops. In short, great!”
“Xiahanwei was an amazing walker for my dog Nature, she was patient, playful and loving. She send endless of pictures which made me feel secure while away that they were having fun and nature was being well taken care of . She helped feed (Rumi) my cat even though it wasn’t part of her job description, she went over and above and I am grateful and would definitely book with her again! Thank you”
About: Hello,,,I am an experienced House & Pet Services provider with Cat and Dog First Aid Certification thru the Canadian Red Cross. I have just recently decided to take my calender online thru Rover. I tend to do most of my work on the Edmonton Southside but i am open to other areas for longer term bookings. Everyones needs are different and i can adjust pricing accordingly. Please get in touch to discuss. My services extend from home care with all age dog, cat, fish and birds. I work part-time via a dispatch system, I am in full control of my schedule and many of the shifts I accept I am only working 4 hours at a time so this leaves me lots of time to schedule in my Pet committments. Delivering the proper care and making sure your pets routines, boundaries, diets - all of it is best done by letting them remain in thier space. It’s really critical to me and so important to the pet that I know all the rules of the house and sometimes written words or notes on key items will help. Recordings from pet parents are an awesome tool that I strongly encourage. Recordings of instructions for me or if I find an anxious pet that is calmed by your voice it serves two important purposes,,,,we can dive into this after our meet and greet. Many homes now have security systems with cameras and I am totally comfortable with that,,,I work in Entertainment, with high profile Artists,,,Cameras and recordings are just a regular part of my day. I am flexible, easy to talk to, I am happy to keep records or send photos and can accommodate almost all scenarios, I love communicating, carry a mobile device with answering service for times if I’m backstage and can’t physically answer the phone I can always read and reply to messages. My schedule would always be discussed as well as any location or venue information in advance so that you can plan and decide if it works for you.
“Isabella is the best! She has been a dependable dog walker for our two pups. She has also provided house sitting services for us while we've been away. She is trustworthy, great at communicating, and very respectful. We would highly recommend Isabella to anyone needing help with their pets.”
About: I am new to rover but I always grew up with family dogs and when they passed away I decided I wanted to begin fostering. I fell in love with the process and have been fostering pups on and off for 2 years. I have lots of experience with introducing new dogs into my home and with training older puppies and adult dogs. I also absolutely love taking dogs for walks and runs as well! I miss having dogs around the house and would love to help you care for your pet:) I am home all day during the week because my classes are online. I do work on the weekends but have other household members that can help care for pets we are boarding. I have a big fenced backyard for your pup to hangout in. I also live in a very safe neighbourhood with great green areas for walks. We live in a house and can accommodate the needs of your dog very well!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Cats, dogs, birds etc! I love animals and plan on one day becoming a vet technician. I enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them, dogs parks are lots of fun as well! I have been trusted to take care of friends animals as well, and they are always happy with the care their pets receive from me! My daily schedule includes a day job that I attend Monday-Friday, so I am best able to care for pets that are comfortable being alone for up to 8 hours. Outside of my work hours I dedicate my time to caring for your pets! I will ensure the pets have safe access to food and water as well as frequent potty breaks. I will make sure they feel safe in their environment and with me whilst they are in my care. I will play with them and be sure they have access to toys they like as well as access to treats! (In moderation of course)
About: I’ve had dog since I was 5 Judy a german Shepard winifred an American Stanford terrier Edger a Pom pug genius and since his passing at 14 from cancer a 7 month old chihuahua pug who adores playing sith my sisters alpha shitzu who keeps up delisted being physically disabled I currently work part-time from home and set my work hours. My dogs have never been entirely alone. I can schedule and arrange my other obligations to match what is needed. I strive to maintain training continuity and avoid disrupting their current routine as much as possible, regardless of the setting. I believe staying in their familiar environment inherently minimizes the disruption they feel while your away, but I promise to provide the same level of dedication and care. And if more outdoor time is the goal im always happy to accommodate long dog park requests
About: I have been pet sitting friends pet for many years and i love it. Fur babies miss their owners when they are away so I provide a fun, loving, welcoming and nurturing away from home feeling. All fur babies have a huge heart, they are lovable and fun to be around. I have stayed at my friends house while they have gone on holidays. I take them to the dog park if there is one near by and always ask the owners how their pets are with other animals. It is very important to keep them safe and happy. I am an active, responsible, caring, friendly person who has owned pets in the past and really misses them. I love being around them :) : I am flexible with my time throughout the day as long as I get enough notice. I am available on weekends in addition could also be available during holidays. I will only allow a dog off leash once I have become familiar with the dog and it's owner's commands. I always respect other dog's walkers.
About: Growing up in the country I had many different pets, that I loved and cared for. I got my first job at Pet Value, helping take care of the cats as well as helping with there adoption events. I now live with my 3 cats, and unfortunately had to leave behind Bentley and Tessa. So now with a new job, and a new home, I’m looking to fill my spare time with extra cuddles and walks. I do work full time but I work nights. So I’m looking to do more day time walks. This can be anywhere from 9am-3pm. I also have my own transportation so distance isn’t an issue for me. I will follow your instructions about your pets care/needs. This means bringing along fresh water and a bowl to stay hydrated on walks, bringing treats for rewards (ones that are approved by owned) as well as send you cute photos and updates on how the walks went
About: Let me care for your pets in the comfort of your home. Instead of boarding them at a pet facility. I have had dogs and cats as pets for most my life. I have had small, medium and large dogs. My family has had 2 golden retrievers. Wonderful dogs. I have always had a cat as a pet. I currently have 2 cats at home. I love animals, a lot of experience caring for them. Walking, grooming and feeding. I have never been afraid of animals. It is natural behaviour for me to be warm and affectionate with animals. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies and take very good care of them. Please read for house sitting. I prefer to house sit in the areas of Old Strathcona, Garneau or Central Downtown. I appreciate your attention to this request. Please feel free to send a request if you are outside of these areas. I can make some exceptions :) However, I can only take job within the City of Edmonton because I do not drive. I now have lots of time to care for your pets in your homes. Currently, I do need some time away to head home to care for my kitties.
“our sweet goose is a little reactive when on leash, which we are working on, and samana handles her with grace and kindness, and understands her body language incredibly well. she is communicative, and keeps you in the loop during walks. she has been an incredible blessing for our busy family, we are so lucky to know samana!”
About: I have worked in the pet industry for 5 years, including working in a vet clinic as a Veterinary Medical Assistant. I am able to handle any behavioral or medical problem your dog may have. I can admisnister any medication as needed. Will also give specialized feeding if necessary. I've done some casual pet sitting for family and friends before. Having had animals all my life and absolutely love them. I know the importance of animals and I'll go above and beyond for the care of your animal(s). I am comfortable working with any breed, size and age of dog. As of now, my schedule is very flexible and will be updating profile of any changes. I am willing to come meet you and your dog before you make the decision to hire me. I want to make sure I am the right match for you and your dog. I'm currently not working at the moment and an online student. Which makes my schedule flexible and I'll be around around your pet at all times. I have an apartment with a cat that gets along with cats and dogs but she'll run away if she feels out of sorts. She is not aggressive at all. I live near by the River Valley, so I have access to beautiful walking trails to take your dog out for nice long walks, or whatever they may be able to tolerate. If you would like your animal crated you would just have to supply the crate. I'm also very flexible going to your home to look after your pet(s), whether it's to just drop by or stay overnight.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and others for about since I can remember. I have plenty of experience and am looking to help my community out while i’m out of school until september I’m currently working part time a week so will have plenty of time for potty breaks. I am off of school for the summer so this is my only commitment at the time. I love my little fur babies! I have three dogs and a cat! Full household so I would know how to love your little guys. I would let them out for potty breaks, cuddle them and feed them :)

Danae walked our dog Bogey for two days and did a wonderful job. She brought great energy and clearly genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. What stood out most was her communication. She gave us thoughtful feedback about Bogey and detailed updates on how their walks went, so we always knew how he was doing. Highly recommend her!
Abigail is lovely and very accommodating! She has been receptive to last minute changes i have had to make and is very kind and understanding. My dog also warmed up to her quickly after one or two walks, he will show signs of being afraid if he is indeed afraid, but he is very welcoming of abigail in our home! We will continue to book with her as she has been so good to us 🙂
10/10 ❤️ First time using rover and I may have shed a tear watching my pup walk off with someone else on this beautiful day.. LOL. But, with some physical limitations I had to call in reinforcements (which clearly wasn’t easy for me). When they arrived home my dog was smiling so big, playing, being goofy and clearly just SO happy. I felt instantly better! She will now be walking him a few times a week. He now has a new friend and walking buddy. She has lovely energy ! (I also have a big German shepherd which can be a lot for some) so happy we have her to help out now! 🫶🏻
Noella has been walking Molly most weeks for the last couple of months and she's been awesome. I was looking for a new dogwalker because our previous regular needed to move onto bigger and better things. It's clear to see that Noella really cares about her clients, which gives me peace of mind when I have to leave my pupper at home during the day. Noella is very communicative about unexpected events or concerns. I'm so glad we found Noella :)

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
