“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!”

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.

I have zero concern when she takes her for walks or interacts with her at all. 11/10 would recommend.”

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!

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’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 owned dogs ranging from little Shih Tzus to a big Mastador, so I appreciate that every dog has their own personality, pace, and needs! My background in hospitality has taught me to be attentive, dependable, and thoughtful about the little details. I bring those qualities to pet care by following your routines, taking time to help your pet feel comfortable, and keeping you updated while you’re away. I run my own business, which gives me flexibility to arrange walks and drop-in visits at different times throughout the day. I’ll confirm my availability with you before booking so your pet’s care fits reliably into my schedule and their usual routine. I care for pets in their own home, where they can enjoy familiar surroundings. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, and household routines, and take time to learn your pet’s temperament and needs. On walks, I’ll keep your dog leashed and check that their collar or harness is secure. I’ll send updates, handle keys carefully, and follow your instructions for locking up and setting alarms when I leave.

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: I’ve been pet walking / sitting for years, and am very comfortable handling dogs- whether they are big or small, young or old, hyper or lowkey! My family grew up fostering for our local humane society, and loads of foster have needed medication/ had special needs, so I am pretty comfortable dealing with any pups that need some special attention (to an extent—if your pet needs more intensive medication administered during the booking let me know and we can discuss more). I also have a good baseline of training, so if you have things you are working on with your dog (ie. heeling on walks, sit/stay, etc) I can make sure that their training stays consistent while you’re gone. I will always make sure your dog is happy and healthy when I’m with them! I know for a lot of people leaving your pet with a stranger can be nerve wracking (for both you and your animal), but I will always keep you updated and in the loop. I am currently only working part time so my afternoons and evenings are free most days! If you need someone to take your dog for a quick walk at noon, or someone to watch them while you’re out for the evening, I’m your gal! I am very flexible in terms of scheduling, I just ask that you are clear with communication and try to reach out about changes ahead of time I will make sure to follow any/all instructions you have when watching your pet at home/ or taking them out. If there are special things to pay attention to please make sure to let me know (ie. need to be put on a longline while in the yard, dog will dig under fence if not watched, should avoid any other pets and/or people on walks, etc.)

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.

About: Hi, we are Ayr & Lori, a responsible, trustworthy couple, married since 1999! We do not have our own kids or pets but we have had many years experience caring for other peoples pets (mostly dogs as we have cat allergies). We love to travel, read, garden, fly fish, camp and meet new people and pets. We have been many places, have stayed in many different types of accommodations and have cared for many types and numbers of dogs. We are capable of yard maintenance, errands, and general upkeep of properties. We are used to maintaining a home as we do own 2 properties in our city that we maage as rentla properties. So, we fully understand what a home owner is looking for for upkeep in terms of cleaning, yard maintenance, pet help, taking in mail, and respect for the property itself and neighbors in the area. We both work from home, running online businesses and so we are also available all day for the care and attention your pets deserve. We are very low key, quiet people. We are honest, reliable, and loyal. We make fast friends and look forward to meeting you and helping you with your house and pet sitting needs. Sincerely! When we are in the city we are available any time to help you out! We travel quite a lot and only need some advance notice to be available. We are full time travellers in our RV and so we would prefer to care and love your pets in your/their own home. Additionally, we find that your pets are also far more comfortable with all their familar walking routes, yard and environment.

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 :)

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 Rideau Park. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 .

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!

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
