“We were away for a week, and Ashlyn cared for our Frenchie and our home as if they were her own. I am so grateful for her care and attention to detail. Thank you so much, Ashlyn!”
“Laura was great with my pets! She communicated often and clearly gave them lots of her time and attention. I came home to content and happy cats. I got lots of cute photos too, an excellent bonus! I would absolutely recommend Laura and will be contacting her again in the future.”
“Jessica was wonderful with my 2 dogs and cat. I’m always anxious when I have to leave my pets for an extended period of time but Jessica helped ease that anxiety. I came home to happy fur babies so I know they were well taken care of. Will definitely book her again. Thanks so much Jessica! :)”
“Olha followed all the things that Gia likes. She took her for her walks and played ball. She left the house in perfect shape. I appreciated all her updates and pictures Would use her again.”
“Right from the start of booking until we arrived home, Kaitlin put us at ease that our pet and house were in great hands. She was easy to stay in touch with and took great care of our house and pet’s needs. She was professional and caring. We had such a great experience with Kaitlin!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. My parents bred German Shepherds and Yorkshire Terriers. I went on to own two spirited Basset Hounds (one of whom was deaf). I work from home in a non-customer-facing role full-time. I have space in my day for walks, attention, cuddles etc. You dog will get what they need according to their individual requirements, whether they need some extra loving and treats to feel at ease or some space to just chill. My yard is partially fenced so I go outside with every dog in my care. We walk in the yard for short breaks and go for at least 1 longer walk in the neighborhood every 10hrs or so. More if it's nice out. Inside I ensure we do activities to engage your dog's senses (such as lick mats, sniff games, or fetch). When required, I will give your dog a brushing or a wash if they are amenable to it.
About: Pretty much my entire adult life has been spent around dogs. Sammie and Jasper are my current canine companions. Along with their predecessors, they've given me experience with puppies and seniors, healthy and active dogs, and dogs with a range of needs, including cancer treatment, medications, mobility limitations and rehabilitation routines. My background as a Physical Therapist gives me a good understanding of movement, mobility and safe activity. I've supported Sammie through her own rehabilitation, including managing an ongoing orthopedic condition and supporting her through regular rehab exercises. I'm active and enjoy walks and outdoor time, but I'm just as happy providing calm companionship and keeping your pooch comfortable in their own routine. Being mostly retired gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to pet care. I enjoy an active lifestyle, but I’m equally happy settling into a dog’s routine, whether that means walks and outdoor time or quiet companionship at home. Your home will be treated with the same care and respect I give my own. I follow your pet’s usual routines, keep doors and gates secure, provide medications or other care as instructed, and communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. And of course, I will send lots of pictures of your pooch!
“Erika did a great job looking after my dog and cat. I really appreciated her sending daily updates and photos. She went above and beyond! I will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Thank you so much Desiree for taking good care of Lilly. We really appreciate your support whilst we were away and for keeping in constant contact with us. We will definitely consider you again in tge future.”
About: Hello, my name is Mikela, I'm 30yrs old I had two dogs and a pig but I no longer have them with me. MJ who was our oldest dog, and was disabled due to an accident is no longer with us because of old age and her disability. Her sister Onyx is now thirteen, they were a funny pair and you knew who was top dog. MJ was a small yorkie/pom/jack russel. I got her from a farm and I adopted Onyx who also came from a reserve. So both our dogs are rescues and mixes, we also had a pot belly pig with Onyx named Dexter. Their relationship was something I wish could have lasted longer but because of circumstances thought differently. I can't deal with cats here due to my mom being allergic so we don't own any, our home is just dog friendly and whatever other pet you have that isn't a cat. I'm hoping to earn a little extra money with this job so solid inquiries only. No stepping in with interest and then backing away, I'm hoping the interest you bring will be final. I find the interest and then finding someone else rude because you make me hopeful and happy, so solid inquiries only please. A little about me I've got epilepsy and that's why I'm doing this, I live with my parents so I don't live alone. Because of my epilepsy I can't drive. My schedule is open, I'm currently looking for work from home. So I'm open after 12:00am until 7:30(ish)pm for boarding/looking after your animals. We can customize the time too. Our fence has just been redone so your dog won't be able to jump or get out. We've got treats for my one dog Onyx so if you are okay with sharing I'll share. We also have a water dish and our place is fairly clean, we don't have a spot to crate and I won't be able to come pick your pets up due to my disability.
About: I grew up always having dogs and cats in the home. As well, we would often visit my grandparents’ farm and helped with chores, including caring for a variety of animals. As an adult there were usually cats or a dog as part of the family. As a parent, my kids had cats, a dog, and other small pets. Although we retired to BC, we will be coming to Saskatoon regularly and may be available for pet sitting. Our schedule is very flexible. My wife and I are both retired and therefore have flexible schedules to be in Saskatoon. Please reach out with your pet sitting needs. Thanks! We will care for your pets and your home like they are our own. Your pets’ happiness and your property’s safety is our top priority.
About: I have had dogs my whole life, all breeds and sizes. I currently have 2 golden retrievers, Rosie and Chauncey and I love them so much and yes they both sleep in the bed with me! I want another one but those puppy stages are bananas, so not right now but one day. I feel like I can reads dog well with when they want space and when they want to play. You can trust that your dogs will be taken care of when I’m taking care of them, kisses and hugs all the time! Currently I work at a golf course and the season is over middle of October so my availability will be more flexible after this time. I try and not disrupt their daily routine. When I go out of town and my brother isn’t able to watch my 2 dogs I appreciate someone that has dogs or has grown up with them because they understand the importance for me about the care of my dogs and how they live their day to day schedule.
About: I love all dogs. Growing up I would babysit dogs in our town. I now have the cutest 3 year old golden retriever of my own. I understand that each dog has its own personality just like each human. Clear communication is important to me so I can understand both yours and your dog’s needs so that they can feel comfortable and safe when they’re in my care. Fun fact: My dog and I have the same name and we both have that “golden” energy. ✨ During the summer my availability is for the most part completely open. During September- June my availability is mostly nights with holiday and weekend availability. I have a large fenced in back yard with lots of green space to run around in. I have one female 3 year old golden retriever that loves to play with other dogs. Your dog will also have access to an abundance of toys and lots of attention from myself.
“This is the second time Afton has house sat for us while on vacation and has watched our 2 dogs and 2 cats. She always does an excellent job and highly recommend her for your animal sitting needs!”
“Shelby was absolutely lovely! She took such great care of my two dogs and made me feel completely comfortable leaving them with her. Her communication was amazing. She kept me updated on how they were doing and checked in throughout her stay, which I really appreciated. She also took wonderful care of our home and left everything exactly as we had left it. My dogs were happy and well cared for when we got home. I would definitely recommend Shelby and would happily have her look after them again!”
“Anthony was phenomenal with our fur babies! I got daily updates and our pets were so happy. He also was attentive to our dogs medical needs with her skin and it healed while we were gone. Not to mention how spotless the house was when we got back. I highly recommend him for your pet sitting needs.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Saskatoon is $50

We were so pleased with Kaitlin’s care of our 3 pets in our home including our “velcro” dog. She checked in to keep us up to date and questions of clarity to ensure our pets received the best care. We were able to relax knowing our pets and our home were in good hands.
Jade has been doing drop-ins and walks for with our two dogs the past couple of months and just watched them for 4 nights while we were away. We’ve been hesitant to have someone else watch our dogs, but she did such a great job. The dogs are comfortable and happy having had her here and she took good care of our place while we were gone.
Afton took wonderful care of Leo while we were away! She kept us updated the entire time with regular check-ins and great pictures, which gave us complete peace of mind. Leo was so happy and content when we got back. This was our second time booking her, and she has consistently been fantastic. Highly recommend!
Bella enjoyed her time with Marco, he took good care of her and sent pictures of her at the dog park. I will be rebooking Marco for other dates that I require someone to stay with Bella. All went well, Bella was in excellent spirits when I arrived home. I recommend Marco to care for your dog when you need to go somewhere.
Jessica was wonderful with my 2 dogs and cat. I’m always anxious when I have to leave my pets for an extended period of time but Jessica helped ease that anxiety. I came home to happy fur babies so I know they were well taken care of. Will definitely book her again. Thanks so much Jessica! :)
Samantha was amazing with our dog Bruce! Bruce is... a lot. He's got big feelings and really prefers to stay in his own home with his people around — even one night at his favourite daycare left him with lasting separation anxiety (he still waits at the gate every pickup time convinced we've abandoned him). So when Samantha came to meet him beforehand and still took the job, we were relieved but also a little nervous. We shouldn't have worried. We came home to a genuinely happy, relaxed dog — zero anxiety, excited to see us but not stressed out at all, which for Bruce is huge. The house was tidy, and Samantha kept us updated the whole time so we always knew how he was doing. She clearly gets anxious dogs and made Bruce feel safe in his own space instead of just "managed." We'll absolutely be booking her again.
Gracie was wonderful, I will be rebooking in the future! She was friendly, came to meet us ahead of our booking, and followed our “way of doing things” to support our dog’s safety and needs. My home and doggo were well cared for, lots of photo updates, everything went perfect!
Before the initial in home care Jenna came to our home for a meet and greet! Jenna provided excellent in home care for our dog Peanut for 1 week. She was dependable, respectful of our home and attentive to Peanut’s needs. Communication was clear and timely with daily texts, pictures and videos all which gave us great peace of mind. Jenna brought her dog Frankie who was a great playmate for Peanut. I would confidently recommend Jenna to anyone looking for reliable pet care! I am thankful that Jenna accepted to care for Peanut.
Rachel took care of our dogs in our home for one month while we were traveling. She was absolutely fantastic!! I can’t say enough about her care. Darby our 12 year old golden retriever needed monitoring and medication and Rachel was wonderful with her Guinness our 1 year old golden retriever has an over abundance of energy. Rachel took him for daily runs and was very patient with him. I would have no hesitation having Rachel in our home the next time we travel.
Keela was great. She looked after our pug puppies (~1yr and ~11 weeks) and was absolutely wonderful. Consistent updates, house was so clean when she left and the pugs were exhausted. I really appreciate that she was able to care for my boys on short notice as well.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Saskatoon 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Saskatoon 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 Saskatoon 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, a background 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
