“Judy was fabulous! She was very friendly at the meet & greet and clearly loves animals. She did a great job and sent lots of photos of our cats while we were away. It was great to have peace of mind while on vacation that our cats were being well taken care of.”
“Ava was excellent! She was quick and easy to communicate with and she took great care of our boys while we were exploring Sicamous and the Wineries! Would love to have her again when we return for another vacation! Highly recommend.”
“Madison was really great! We needed someone for a quick drop in and feeding our dogs Luna and Millie in the middle of the day while we were at work. Madison was very kind and sent us updates and pictures of our girls while there, played with them and let them out in the yard for a potty break, giving us piece of mind that our furry babies has someone to give them some love during the day! I would highly recommend her. :)”

I felt at ease knowing my pup was well taken care of while I was away. Very happy with the service thank you again Kevin so much!!”
“Anick was great with my 2 cats! Even one who doesn’t like strangers really enjoyed her. It was my first experience having someone I didn’t know to look after my furry pets and it was fantastic. She always sent updates and pictures to let me know how they were. I would definitely recommend Anick. And I will be a repeat costumer. Merci Anick!!!”
“I do not have enough positive things to say about our experience with Cynthia. Although new to the rover scene, her love of animals and attention to detail is so obvious. My guys immediately took to her upon first meeting - and I knew we had made the right choice! She truly went over and above to ensure that both our home and our precious kitties were safe and happy while away. I would not hesitate to recommend her in any capacity for your pet sitting needs 12 out of 10. Thank you, Cynthia!!!!!”
“Harleen was fantastic! We had a unique situation, visiting our daughter from our of tiwn. We needed someone to care for our pup while we took our daughter out for dinner. Harleen had super communication before and during her stay with Tashi. We highly recommend Harleen and would absolutely contact again when visiting.”
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’m happy to meet with clients beforehand to get to know your dog’s routine and preferences. This way, we can ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for your furry friend.
“I am avwry happy with Eunji. She's on time and sends lots of videos and photos and updates when she comes over. My dog Nigel loves her and I recommend Eunji to everyone who's looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I am a huge animal lover and a proud pet parent to two cats and a big, energetic Sheepadoodle! Because I care for my own furry family every day, I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. I will absolutely treat yours like my own. My previous cat lived to be 21 years old, so I have a lot of handson experience with the gentle, patient care that older animals require. I am dedicating my time full-time to pet care, specifically focusing on cat drop-in visits. Because my schedule is completely open and highly flexible, I can easily accommodate your cat's preferred routine, whether they need morning, afternoon, or evening check-ins. I have plenty of time to give them undivided attention, active playtime, and all the cuddles they want! Since I specialize exclusively in drop-in visits, my top priority is making sure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and happy in their own home territory. I am highly observant, detail-oriented, and extremely respectful of your living space. During my visits, I ensure all doors are secure, meticulously clean the litter boxes, and strictly follow your specific feeding or care instructions. I will always send you detailed updates and lots of photos so you can have total peace of mind while you are away!

“Madalynn was excellent. I have a very anxious, jumpy Great Dane that Madalynn met, and she was very calm about his frustration and anxiety. She worked with him using treats and was able to settle him. She never showed any fear at all! I will have her back again!”
About: My French Bulldog mix passed away 3 years ago at the old age of 13. Since then I've been wanting a new dog but with kids and life it's just not the right time for our family. Hoping to fill the void by caring for your pet! I would be honored if you trusted us with caring for a member of your family. Dogs who stay with me get walks through the beautiful University of Alberta farm. I would love to try and run with your dog as well if they would like that. I typically run 3-5 km once per week and my previous house guests seem to love the excersize. In the summer we often spend weekends at the family cabin and our furry friends always have an amazing time visiting. The cabin is 1 hour west of the city - a perfect dog retreat. All furry visitors are welcome and showered with attention. All family at the cabin are either previous or current dog owners including two that have been through service dog training. I do work full time but close to home. Our household, along with two boys one 15 and one 7 years old. Evenings are spent together enjoying the outdoors when we can. We'd love to have a dog come and enjoy our evening time together and helping us make sure we don't skip our evening walks. We would love your pet as if they were our own. Daily walks, love and attention. Pets would sleep with me or in the crate whatever you prefer. Can keep up with training as needed.
About: I've been taking care of/ training dogs my entire life. My oldest girl is over 17 years old and I've currently been training a VERY high energy and rambunctious 1 and a half year old black lab/ border collie mix. I am currently getting my certification to be a licensed professional dog trainer. I am available for walking/ training and sitting any day, with a very flexible schedule. I take my dog for probably 10 walks a day. We also frequent the dog park a lot. I can either take your dog to the park or for solo walks, whatever you're comfortable with.
About: I’ve always loved animals, any and all kind and they’ve always loved me back too. I’d be good at watching any animal. I have 2 cats and will be good with cat sitting, although I also love dogs. I care for 2 of my own cats everyday but if you need a helping hand with yours I am available at short notice. Just let me know what your pet needs. They have a lot of stimulation from toys and scratch posts. They also love going on walks on their harnesses (they’re both leash trained) or in their backpacks.
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!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rideau Park
Sarah-Beth was a life saver and accommodated my last minute booking! Her communication was timely and she followed instructions for the home and pet care. She is an experienced sitter and helped me to feel reassured that my babies were in good hands! Would definitely book again :)
Kitty came to take care of Tiia while I was away for a short trip. Tiia was well taken care of. She was happy enjoying some play and brushing. Kitty kept me updated with photos and videos each day. You can tell that Tiia was progressively getting more comfortable with Kitty each day.
Kelly was fantastic! Came to meet Soup before hand to make sure they'd be a good match and asked lots of questions to make sure she could provide the best care. She showed up as scheduled every day and gave me plenty of updates. I was apprehensive leaving my cat for a week but Kelly made sure he and I were well taken care of.
This was my third time having Melissa check in on my kitties while I was out of town and she again was great! She follows instructions (they love to try and escape), sends updates every day and makes sure they are happy and fed. 10/10 would recommend. Thanks Melissa!!
Sherry provided excellent care for my cat and I always felt that she was being well loved in my absence. Sherry always sent lots of photos and videos with her updates. I wholeheartedly recommend Sherry if you're looking for someone to love your fur babies when you're away. 5 stars all the way!
We’ve had Miranda and Aaron as cat sitters a few times now, and they are always great—thoughtful and reliable, with cute updates and pics. They pay attention to the small details and personal preferences of our cats, and go above and beyond to take good care of them. We’ll definitely contact them again the next time we need a cat sitter. Thanks Miranda and Aaron!
Leeann was a great caregiver who arrived right on time for two visits per day with my cat. She showed genuine warmth, and followed all of his feeding and care routines precisely. She also administered his daily oral medication and sent me a daily update and picture. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rideau Park is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,150 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Rideau Park. About 88% of Rideau Park sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
