“We were so thankful to have Ava housesit our dog Buddy and cat Bear while we were away for a few days! She was very kind, her communication was excellent, and she obviously cares a lot about animals and making your pets feel loved. Will absolutely book her again and would recommend her to anyone else!”

“Katia was great with Remi. As he is getting older he doesn’t do so well when our family takes a trip but Remi was so happy as seen on the videos and photos sent daily. Katia provided everything required to make sure Remi was happy at home and our family didn’t have to stress while away. Definitely will be rebooking in the future.”

I couldn't have asked for anyone better to stay with my babies. Thank you both so much for everything!”

I will definitely be booking again :D”
“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.

About: I have had Golden Retrievers for more than 15 years. All from Puppies. Experienced care for your best friend! Oh and the best snuggles too. My Rover sitting will start Full time from late September! Give me a call!!! We can set up a meet and Greet!! Then we can take it from there. I will care for your babies as though you were there! I take full responsibility and instructions from you, the parents, to care for your loved ones.
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rideau Park
We have never had a pet sitter before who wasn't a family member or friend, so we were very worried about getting someone unknown, but Ava was amazing and put our minds at ease! She is the sweetest, and the pets took to her right away. We received multiple photos and updates daily. We already have her booked for another stay! We would highly recommend Ava!!
Kyla was wonderful watching our dog, cat and fish! She gave us updates and sent photos to let us know how everyone was doing while we were away, and she went out of her way to make sure our pup felt better after having some unexplained diarrhea (and she cleaned up his mess, which we felt so badly about). We will absolutely hire her again when we go away again in the future!
Demi was wonderful! I really appreciated her being available last minute, and coordinating with her was so easy. She took such great care of Ollie while I was away and sent lots of updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I got home, it was clear that Ollie had been very well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Demi and would happily have her care for Ollie again!
Highly recommend Nathan He was great with our two dogs. They are were not used to staying with someone they didn’t know and the fact that he was able to stay at our house and made our dogs feel safe and comfortable was so appreciated. We used Nathan 3 times this summer and we will definitely reach out to Nathan again in the future
We couldn't be happier with the care Judy provided for our dog, Sadie, while we were away. From the moment we left, we knew Sadie was in loving and capable hands. The daily photos and updates were such a thoughtful touch. Seeing Sadie happy and relaxed each day gave us real peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and are so grateful for everything she did. She watered our flowers, picked up after Sadie and left house perfect. We highly recommend Judy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!
Talia was an excellent dog sitter. She took great care of our little Chihuahua mix for a week and a half. He's a bit spoiled and stubborn, but she handled him very well and took him for walks every day. She also kept us updated and sent us lots of pictures throughout the day. Talia was also very clean and tidy with the house. We highly recommend her and wish her all the best.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rideau Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rideau Park on Rover is $53.82 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 640 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
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
