“Andrea was absolutely lovely with our anxious new rescue, we will definitely be booking again, she was so attentive and kind and patient, and sent lots of updates, it was sincerely appreciated. Very knowledgeable and skilled with dogs, and the most lovely person too.”
“Nathaniel was so great. He stayed at our house with our anxious dog for a week and was able to build a good relationship with her. He followed our scheduled, gave her lots of exercise, and took great care of our house. He even went above and beyond ensuring that our house remained "viewing ready" as it was for sale while he was there. We are really happy with Nathaniel and his care of our little girl and home. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great pet/home sitter.”
“Lyndsay was terrific with our dogs she sent me photos of our dogs she let me know how they were doing, she sent me updates throughout our time away. Lyndsay was a great pet sitter she kept our house tidy. Our dogs were happy to see use I could tell by their behaviour that they were well cared for by Lyndsay.I would recommend her to dog sit for others. Thank you Debbie Creaser”
About: I'm a pet lover excited to be your pet's new best friend in Southwest Edmonton. Growing up, I was a bit timid around dogs, but that all changed when I met my friend's sweet and calm Great Dane/Lab cross. I immediately bonded and thought her quirk of being afraid of skateboards was incredibly cute. Overcoming that fear and building a bond with her opened my eyes to the incredible joy of caring for all kinds of animals. As a cat owner for most of my life, I understand the role a pet can play in your life and how important they are. My experience also includes caring for a variety of other pets, including dogs or all sizes, rabbits, lizards, and birds. I work remotely giving me a flexible schedule wherever there is internet. I'm ready to provide the loving, reliable care your pet deserves. I'm not ready for the full-time commitment of my own pet right now, so I'm looking forward to showering yours with all the love and attention they could want! Since I work from home, I have a very flexible daily routine. This allows me to offer frequent check-ins and be available during the day for walks, feedings, and plenty of playtime. I can easily fit pet care into my schedule to ensure your pet gets all the attention and care they need. I provide all pet care in the familiar and comfortable environment of your own home, where your pet feels most secure. My priority is to maintain your pet's routine as closely as possible, minimizing any stress from your absence. I will follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, walking routes, and medication. To ensure your peace of mind, I will provide regular updates and photos, so you can see that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. You can trust me to treat your home with respect, leaving it just as I found it.
“Very prompt, reliable, and responsive! Sent plenty of updates and took care of any issues when we were away. Adrianna and Jack went above and beyond to take care of things like shovelling our walkway and offering to wash bedding when they were done, and our kitties were clearly very well cared-for.”
“Nicole provided amazing overnight dog sitting care for my two dachshunds! They were well loved and catered too (lots of cuddles and short walks). Appreciated all the pictures and updates. Excited to be booking her back again soon!”
“I was so nervous, having someone I didn't know, take care of our pets. But from the first meeting Ardele set my mind at ease. She is a warm, very nice lady and took such great care of the pets, that I think they are sorry we returned! Updates and pictures were great, and my home was cleaner than when I left. Ardele even shoveled the driveway! Will not hesitate to book her again.”
“Caroline was a fantastic house/pet sitter. She was so tidy that I wouldn't have known she was here except that my plants were watered and our 2 dogs and cat were perfectly calm and happy when we returned from our trip. She was very considerate, professional and kept a great line of communication with us. Highly recommend!!”
About: I've had dogs and cats most of my life until the last few years. I can provide care as needed by you and your pets. I'm flexible with availability. I can work around different schedules, in many instances, to allow for different care needs for feeding or walks, or play. I treat them as my own, feeding, playing, or just giving attention based on the needs of you, or your pets, while you are away.
“I had a great experience with Saghar as my Rover house sitter. She was very communicative throughout the entire stay, providing regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. She was attentive to my cat’s needs and clearly took the time to understand her routine and personality. I also appreciated how observant she was - nothing went unnoticed, and she kept me informed of even small details. On top of that, she left my home clean and well cared for. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”
About: I would love for an opportunity to meet with and learn from you and your furbabies on how to care for them! For the past 2 years, I have gone to a close friend’s condo to sometimes care for their medium-sized dog for a day. I generally aim to let their dog go outside every 2-4 hours, depending on their cues that I’m familiar with. On one or two of those breaks during the day, I like to walk them around their neighbourhood for around 15-30 mins. The only other pet experiences that I have is with a cat and a fish. I lived for four months with a cousin and helped with caring for her cat during that time. I had a betta fish that I fed and had a regular water change schedule for his fishbowl for two years. As such, I’m eager to build up more knowledge and experience with all kinds of dogs and cats so that someday I can foster or adopt a fur baby of my own. I will ensure to continue researching and studying caretaking for any pet if I am hired. I am a student taking online classes. My primary mode of commute is public transportation but occasionally and if needed, I will be able to find a direct way of travel. As such, I am flexible with schedules and can work things out if needed. For caretaking in the client’s home, I will ensure to follow instructions thoroughly. I will also ensure to put in extra effort to research caretaking for any characteristics/conditions that you describe your pet as having.
“This was my first time using Rover to find someone to look after my little girl. Amanda was great with her. I got pictures and updates. If I asked a question or checked in she was great at getting back to me. I was able to enjoy my brother's wedding with no worries about my girl. I will definitely be using her for anytime I plan on going away.”
“Rachel looked after our Odie and did fantastic. She showed up on time, sent lots of pics and was very kind. We felt very comfortable leaving Odie with her. Would 100% book Rachel again.”
“Samantha went over and beyond. The care she showed for my Yorkie and the consistent follow-up with photos and text was unexpected and admirable. Knowing my dog was in great hands let me RELAX while I was away. Doggone it…I was IMPRESSED.”
“katia took amazing care of my dog stryker! she sent lots of updates and pictures which made being away from him so much easier. she is so good with him and he loved having her around!”
“Robin was great! She did 3 pre-visits (we booked her a month and a half in advance). She stayed in our home for almost three weeks. Gave us almost daily updates with pictures. Our two fur babies were calm and relaxed when we came home. The house was left clean and in order. Will be using her again when we go away!”
“Zoe was great with our very anxious dog. He warmed up to her quickly and was very happy and well taken care of while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and use her services again.”

I cannot recommend Cynthia enough! She took such amazing care of my dog and went above and beyond throughout the entire stay. She sent regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me a peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the whole time. she was reliable, and she genuinely treated my dog like her own. I would absolutely book with her again without hesitation. 100% recommend to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter :)
Truly the most amazing dog sitter we’ve ever had. I can’t believe our good fortune to find her. Great communication, tons of pics. We were free to simply enjoy our trip knowing our dogs were at home enjoying her company. It was a vacation for them too! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Thanks Ardele!
I was kind of hesitant to use this app but we were kind of desperate, we had an emergency and we had to leave. I am so glad I found Saghar. Response was fast and professional, she indeed ask the right questions and she agreed to have a pre-meeting which was a very good sign. She's a very sweet, polite and well spoken girl and you can tell her she really loves animals right away. She gives us peace of mind after meeting her. When we came back from our trip our house was spotless and the kitties anxiety free like nothing happened. She sent lots of updates and cool pictures of our cats and their activities. Even one of our antisocial cats was even letting her pet her all over! I'm impressed, I definitely booked her again, I'm truly grateful for her great job taking care of my fur babies. Can't thank you enough.
Rachel is the best. She was so great with my dogs. She is excellent at communication and really took care of my dogs while she was here. She helped me out of a tough situation when I had to extend my stay out of town. Austin and bunny were in great hands and can't wait to hang out with her again!
We are grateful to have found Jessy to take care of our 2 dogs and home while away for 3 weeks. She provided us with the peace of mind we hoped for through terrific communication, pictures and updates that left us reassured. During her stay, Jessy was able to convince a relatively stubborn pooch to go for short walks. Our dogs were happy and content when we arrived back home. Everyone needs a “Jessy” for their pups!
Ainsley is very kind and Clara loved her! This was my first time leaving her with a non family member and the longest that I have left her and I was not at all worried! Ainsley sent pictures showing my shy little kitty coming out and getting some love. I am very pleased and will definitely use Ainsley to watch my pets again!
Our cats and dog love having Madison look after them. Luckily she was available on very short notice this time, and we were happy to have her stay. Madison communicated throughout her stay, sending updates and pictures, and left the place neat and tidy when she left.
This was our first time using both Rover and Natalia. Great experience. She was wonderful with our three boys. Lots of pictures, the boys were happy and content when we got home and she was great with communication. We will definitely have Natalia watch our boys again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rideau Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rideau Park on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 647 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rideau Park. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Rideau Park maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Rideau Park walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
