“Judy is an all-star cat sitter. My cat Messi gravitated towards Judy from the first meet and greet and they’ve been getting on fantastic ever since. Judy is always super accommodating and easy going and goes above and beyond to make sure your kitty is comfortable, and well taken care of. She took care of feeding, cleaning the litter box, ensured the cat water fountain was functioning properly, grooming, playing, made sure the bird videos were playing on the tv, belly rubs etc. The sign of a good cat sitter is when you are at ease being away from your fur baby knowing that your little one is in good hands.”
“The communication with our sitters was great, and we could tell they were kind and caring for our animals. We will definitely rebook with them in the future.”
“Josselyn was great with our two cats. She was so professional and attentive to our cats. She provided detailed updates with photos and videos. Would definitely recommend booking Josselyn for your pets!”
“Ava is our to-go pet sitter for our cat Tito! She is just such a sweet and attentive human! She sends tons of photos while pet sitting and in all of them it seems like our cat truly feels comfortable and trusts her, it's even funny to see how he doesn't seem to miss us and is just enjoying his time with her. She is also very polite and professional in all the interactions. I truly recommend her to everyone.”
“Karen and Dan were wonderful! They sent lots of pictures and updates throughout their stay and made us feel very comfortable trusting our puppy with them. I would recommend them to anyone!”
“Kevin checked in on my two cats during a weekend that I was out of town. He was calm and attentive to instructions and provided much-needed attention for my very social cats, as well as crucial insulin administration for my diabetic cat. I'll be in touch with him for future catsitting.”
“Sarah-Beth was amazing with our dog, Tuck. We had her take him for walks every two days while our brother was watching him when we were away in Italy to help ease the work load. It helped us enjoy our trip stress free knowing that he was in good hands and getting some extra exercise and attention. Sarah-Beth sent photos every check in so we could see how happy Tuck was when he was with her. She was very confident in dealing with him as he is a bigger dog. With some reactivity issues we had our concerns but with a meet and greet before we left, Sarah-Beth eased our minds with her knowledge and expertise. You can tell she truly cares about the dogs she has the opportunity to work with. I HIGHLY recommend Sarah-Beth to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet.”
“Anick was wonderful and the best we could have asked for using Rover for the first time. She always left us messages after her visits to let us know how our cats were doing and she clearly is loved by my senior cat because We came home to no vengeful “accidents” like she usually leaves us as a punishment for leaving her. Would 100% ask her to watch our animals again”
“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. :)”
About: I enjoy helping dogs stay comfortable and relaxed in their usual routine. I offer dependable walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship with a calm, patient approach. I'm always happy to take dogs on long walks or play some fetch to help them run off some energy:) My schedule is flexible and I work from home frequently on week days so that makes it easy for me to pop over to people's places and check on their pets, feed them, drop in to administer medications or take them on a walk or play session. My home is better suited to cat clients who need somewhere else to stay while mom and dad are away:) I have large windows, a supervised balcony space, a lot of cat toys (including interactive toys) and puzzles, supplies like spare cat beds and scratching trees. And of course, they are always welcome on the furniture for cuddles when they're here:)
“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!!!!!”
“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’ve been looking after dogs and cats all my life. I focus on making sure your pups are getting the right amount of exercise, socialization, and training. I walk my sister’s two high energy dogs everyday at the off leash park. We work on socialization, improving recall, and getting plenty of exercise! I make sure they get plenty of water, are crated when left alone. I constantly work on recall and safe distancing throughout our walks so that I can keep them close if I spot any safety concerns.
“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: 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 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.
“Samana was so amazing with my 4 babies! She made me feel so reassured and sent me lots of photos and updates through her visit. If I were to leave my cats alone I’d always rebook with her, she’s also such a ray of sunshine!! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!”
About: We know firsthand that dogs are family. We cared for our beloved dog for 11 years through two knee surgeries and several other procedures due to genetic health issues, giving her the best care every step of the way. That experience taught us patience, responsibility, and how to recognize when a dog needs extra attention. We provide a calm, loving home, daily walks, plenty of affection, and will follow your dog's routine exactly as you request. We treat every dog like one of our own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. We both work full-time Monday to Friday, so we're best suited for dogs that are comfortable being home alone for up to 8 hours during the workday. Every dog gets a morning walk before we leave, an evening walk when we're home, and lots of love and attention afterward. On weekends we're home most of the day, so your dog will have plenty of companionship, playtime, and cuddles. Your dog's safety and comfort are our top priorities. We'll follow your dog's feeding schedule, medication routine, exercise needs, and any special instructions exactly as requested. We treat every dog like a member of our family and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. We also volunteer with an incredible pet rescue in Edmonton dog sitting for fosters while they wait for their forever home and absolutely love everything about it. All dogs we watch will 100% be treated like royalty 💜 We also have a toy box full of new toys where your incredible pet gets to bring home their favorite toy after their stay 🥰

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rideau Park
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a great experience with Madison as my cat sitter. She followed all the instructions I left, arrived on time, made sure my cat had her food and treats, kept her litter clean, and spent quality time with her. It was reassuring knowing my cat was being well looked after while I was away. I really appreciate her care, reliability, and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book her again! Thanks for your service Madison !!!!!!!!
Thank you, Karen, for going above and beyond and for being so supportive and understanding while caring for Sophia. I truly appreciate the dedication, compassion, and care you provided, as well as your regular updates and excellent communication throughout the process. It gave me peace of mind knowing Sophia was in such caring and capable hands. I highly recommend booking with Karen, as she provides exceptional, high-quality care and genuinely goes the extra mile for the pets she looks after!
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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Rideau Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rideau Park is $24 per visit as of November 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 1,158 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 Meet & Greet 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 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.
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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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, your payment method is charged 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
