“Fantastic!! Super friendly and very pleasant to chat with. Arrived on time. Was quick to provide updates and was able to add another day on very short notice. Would happily have her again!”
“Bentley enjoys his walks with Holly. He was immediately comfortable to walk with her when meeting her the first time. She had the right questions regarding his care, which put me at ease to leave my dog in her care. Will definitely book again”
“Hannah was amazing and made us feel very comfortable that our girl was taken care of. We got consistent updates and she was very responsive. Even after our initial meet and greet, Hannah had followed up with a summary of our dogs routine and health concerns that we had mentioned which also made us very confident that she cared greatly and our dog would be in great hands. Thank you Hannah!!!”
About: Hi! My name is Ella and I am a Dog mom of three wonderful pups. I have also spent 5 years working in animal care and grew up around dogs and cats and was an animal lover from a young age! I have experience with medication administration, senior dog needs and puppy’s of all ages ! I can’t wait to meet your furry friends soon! I have an open schedule to fit each and every pets needs as I am luckily enough to be a “stay at home dog mom” :) I am an experienced animal care giver and know how to adapt to the needs of every individual pup and treat them as my own.
About: Family pets have held a special place in my heart since early childhood. From owning dogs and cats, to working in a professional veterinary environment as a certified Veterinary Office Assistant, I carry over 10 years of personal and professional animal care experience, skills and knowledge. Services that can be offered include in-home personal pet sitting, dog walking and drop in visits to ensure your furry friend is recieving the quality care they deserve. For more information on my services, skills or just questions in general, please do not hesitate to contact me via email or telephone. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends and building a long lasting and professional relationship with quality service and care that you can rely on! I am currently working full-time and in school part-time so I would be able to look after your furry friends during the evenings and some mornings. I am well-rounded in animal behavior and can easily determine if/and when animals need to be separated, require medical care, or need a bit more play time!
About: I grew up with birds and cats! My kitty is a year younger than me. I have 10+ years in experience with pet and babysitting x My availability is quite flexible! I prefer working in the afternoon or evening. However I don’t mind mornings! I am usually free on weekends x I have a 21 year old cat! She cannot eat dry food. Due to her age she most likely has dementia.. in order to make it easier for her we have two litterboxes x
About: I grew up around animals and have years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I’m patient, reliable, and understand how to care for pets of all ages — from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I offer loving, safe walks and drop-in visits with full attention to your pet’s needs. I usually take care of pet walks after 4 PM and am available for walks or visits then. My schedule is flexible in the afternoons and evenings to fit your pet’s needs. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet, whether in my home or the client’s. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep hazardous items out of reach, and supervise pets closely during walks and playtime. Trust and open communication with pet owners are very important to me to ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for at all times.
About: My husband and I have owned dogs for the past 15 plus years together, and our families both owned them for many years growing up. While he would not attend your home with me, I like everyone to know that our entire house is Pet lovers. My soft spot is for seniors, and dogs with varying degrees of health related issues. The ones that nobody wants and the often misunderstood ones. I have cared for a variety of breeds with varrying degrees of health issues. I have extensive experience in administering medications, IV fluids, intramuscular injections, eye drops, nail trims, and more. I have had 2 blind dogs (one of which had both of her eyes removed due to glaucoma), so am very familiar with their sometimes unique challenges. I also have experience caring for dogs with little to no hearing, as well as ones with various levels of behavioral challenges, such as resource/food guarding, stranger/leash aggression, and more. As the owner of Manitoba's ONLY small animal rescue charity, I also have a wealth of knowledge and experience with exotic and small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and more! While I love a good puppy cuddle, my heart belongs to the older four (or less!) legged friends, and I would love the opportunity to meet your furry family members. Thanks to some amazing clients and word of mouth referrals, I was recently able to quit my corporate job to do pet sitting full time! I am so incredibly greatful for this new schedule, which allows me to dedicate as much time aa possible to caring for your furry family members. I love the idea of coming to your home to care for your pets, as it allows them to continue to feel safe and in a familiar environment. Following their regular routine helps make any time away from mom and dad as stress free as possible. Pets are never left outside unattended, and if you don't have a completely fenced yard, they will always be on a secure leash for potty breaks. If spending overnights in your home, I welcome the pets to share a sleeping space, or crate them as requested. Even if I do things different with my own pets, I want to ensure all of your rules and routines are followed while you are away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
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.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in River’s Edge. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in River’s Edge after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in River’s Edge with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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 River’s Edge 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!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
