“Marco was great, he sent us updates daily and left the house as organized and clean as he found it. He kept up the training we were doing, when I came back our dog Easy still followed commands he was learning perfectly. He even made Easy a new toy.”
“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!”

“We feel very lucky to have found Jrosaleen. We love the attention she gives to Skye and Frankie and Skye have a blast playing together. She is so genuine with such a big heart. Exactly who we want to care for our pet when away.”
“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! :)”
“Alexandra took excellent care of my cats while I was away. My boy is on a few different medications on a stict time schedule but Alexandra made sure he got his meds and did so on time. I have 100% confidence leaving my cats in your care. Thank you!!!”
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!
“We highly recommend Kaitlin as a pet sitter. After meeting Kaitlin and introducing her to our senior pet we felt confident leaving her to care for our home and dog. Kaitlin was very professional throughout our experience. She communicated with us as needed and handled any issues that arose. Kaitlin’s concern was for our pet’s comfort not her own. We appreciated knowing that our elderly dog’s quirks and stresses were being met with gentleness and compassion. Thank you Kaitlin!”
“Ginny was perfect. We had a meet & greet & immediately felt comfortable leaving her with Charli. Charli seemed so happy. She took her on walks & spent time with her on the couch which is her favourite pastime. I would definitely recommend Ginny. Thank you.”
“Jade is incredible! It was such a huge relief knowing our pups were in great hands while we were away for our wedding. We loved to see all the photos she sent throughout the day and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were having the best time. When we got home, our house was spotless and our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We are so grateful for her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. We will definitely be using her again in the future :)”
“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!”
“Reece was very responsive and accommodating when we had to change the dates of our trip (twice!). She sent lots of photo updates and left our home clean. After meeting her I had no reservations with her and felt confident leaving our dog and cat in her care. She did great with our pets, definitely will be booking with her again! Good vibes with this girl :)”
“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.”
“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: For over 20 years, caring for animals has been a natural part of my everyday life. I started back home, where I spent 13 years rescuing and caring for cats and dogs—from bottle‑feeding kittens, rehabilitating scared rescues, to giving senior dogs the gentle, patient love they deserve. Those experiences shaped me into a calm, intuitive, and deeply compassionate caregiver.Here in Saskatoon, I’ve continued that same level of care with my two baby cats, who have been with me for 7 years. They’re my world, and they’ve taught me even more about understanding different personalities, moods, and needs Working from 8am to 5pm. Then the reat of my time is to take good care of our babies.I’m not just a sitter — I’m someone who truly understands how much your pet means to you. I know the worry of leaving them behind, and I make it my mission to give them comfort, affection, and stability while you’re away. What you can expect from me as your sitter:Gentle, patient care for shy, anxious, or rescue petsReliable communication with photo updates and honest check‑insExperience with all ages — from energetic puppies/kittens to seniors needing slow, careful attentionClean, safe environment with routines that help pets feel secureGenuine love — I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family

The median cost per night for house sitting in Saskatoon is $45

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!

We loved to see all the photos she sent throughout the day and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were having the best time.

We will definitely be using her again in the future :)
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.
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. 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.
