“Andrea was so helpful in looking after our 10 week old puppy for two days so we could work! She did a great job following the busy puppy schedule we gave her and she even accommodated us on a last minute request for service. Would definitely recommend her and hope to have her back in the future!”
“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”
“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.”
“Maple loved her time with Leann! She got lots of attention and plenty of walks - and I got lots of photos! Maple was happy and settled when I got home and Leann left my apartment in great shape. Leann handled my big dog with skill. I recommend her and would definitely use her services 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!!”
“Ardele is the best!! She went out of her way to make sure not only we were comfortable with leaving but also our dogs were too. I will admit to being an over protective mama with my dogs and Ardele just took that in stride and sent us many pics and videos. Our dogs barely missed us, I’m sure. She was so amazing with them. I highly highly recommend Ardele, I feel completely comfortable having her look after my pack. Thank you so much! 💜💜💜”
“It was a pleasure to have Sam house/cat-sit for my little Hazel-nut. Sam was very responsive, thoughtful, friendly, kind, responsible, reliable and did a wonderful job. She sent fun updates and photos of Hazel which was very much appreciated. She was also patient with Hazel when she bapped and knocked over her tablet because she wanted attention and to be fed waaaayyyy too early. Sam was very considerate and washed her bedding and towels, which wasn’t expected but a very thoughtful thing to do. I would definitely recommend Sam and I would also book her again. Thank you Sam! -Hazel & Harmony 😻”
“Adrianna was a wonderful pet sitter to our two cats and dog! She spent the days at our home and provided daily updates with photos. When one of our cats had a medical issue while we were away, Adrianna kept us informed, communicated clearly and even offered to take her to the vet which provided so much peace of mind. We arrived home to a clean house and pets who were clearly loved and cared for. We would happily hire her again! Thanks for everything Adrianna”
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.
“Our Chloe was very happy with Amanda!! Great communication, very likeable and accommodating. Kept to Chloe’s food schedule and routine, would happily use Amanda again in the future as it’s clear that she loves animals!!!”
“Kendra took such great care of our dog Honeybee, and home while we were away. She kept in contact often and sent frequent photo updates. Honeybee clearly adored her and they had a blast together. We didn't have to worry about anything -- it was nice to go away without any stress. We also we came home to a house cleaner than when we had left! Will definitely be reaching out to Kendra again soon!”
“Nathaniel watched my dogs at my home for a week while I was gone on vacation. He was the best house/ dog sitter I've had. Very responsive and took care of my house and 2 large dogs while I was gone. He went above and beyond...”
“Lacey did a great job with my two cats and saltwater aquarium. My cats spent most of their time hanging out with her, which says more than I ever could. She was conscientious and eager to fulfill all that I asked. She sends regular updates with photos and videos and was very easy to communicate with. Great pet sitter”
“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!”
“We are so happy with Caitlyn. She stayed at our house with our two dogs for two weeks. She sent us daily pictures and updates and it took all the stress away that we would have had otherwise. She was very neat and tidy and we would 100% book her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rideau Park
Nicole did a good job in feeding and keeping an eye on our cats while we were gone for the weekend, sending updates and taking care of our home, house was spotless and we were happy with the service, however, I wasn't entirely comfortable with the house being left unattended so often while the pet sitting service was being offered. (we had cameras at the door). That said, I realize it's partly my fault because I never clearly communicated my expectations about staying at the house. I assumed we had the same understanding, and I should have clarified properly. But she did what she ask for, thank you Nicole!
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Kyla watching our dog. Our girl is pretty high energy and Kyla handled her so well. She also went above and beyond to make sure our home was nice to come back to. I could not have asked for a better experience. We would happily have her back again 🥰
Saghar is so kind and loving! My pup warmed up to her quickly and she is very thorough with her care and providing updates. My dog is deaf and blind and she made him feel very safe and comfortable in a short amount of time. We will definitely book with her again!
It was great having Adrianna looking after our 2 cats while we were on vacation. She took good care our house and our cats, making sure they were happy, well-fed, and loved while we were away. Our home was also spotless when we returned, and everything was exactly as we left it. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring house and pet sitter.
Ava was absolutely wonderful and took such good care of my little Hazel, my outside plants and my home. Right from the meet and greet until I returned home, Ava kept in close contact and provided lots of lovely, detailed updates and sweet pictures of Hazel. Ava was attentive, very thoughtful, professional, friendly and kind. She went above and beyond by helping to coordinate Hazel’s logistics for the annual fire inspection at my building and left notes for the technicians and communicated with the property managers about being mindful of the cat in the unit. I didn’t have to worry about a thing! She actually left things nicer than when I left including washing and folding the bedding and towels - not expected! Ava exceeded my expectations and I would gladly contact her again to look after Hazel and my home. Thank you so much Ava! -Harmony & Hazel 😻🙏🏻✨
Ana is the absolute best. She has watched our home and kitties a couple times now and we would choose her to do it every time if able. During the most recent crazy rain storm we had some issues with water inbthe basement and she was able to helpnus while out of town and have great communication. It was also Canada Day and the fireworks were scarying the cats and she was there to calm them down and bring comfort. She went above and beyond what we expected her to deal with and we felt great knowing she was there. Great communication, left the house clean and tidy, and the cats are always well loved. Thank you Ana ❤️
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 :)
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!

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.
