“Cindy is a wonderful pet sitter. She provided us with tonnes of photos to let us know how our Frankie was doing. She left our home spotless and our cat happy. We will definitely re-book Cindy for our next trip out of town.”
“Andrea is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She fives regular updates and sends lots of photos. She was able to give my fussy dog his meds without any issue. She also spent lots of quality time with them and even took them for additional walks.”
“Czabrina is amazing! She has watched our senior dog twice now and we already have her booked for a third. She’s very easy to communicate with, with fast responses. We come home to a clean house, a happy dog and she is easy going when plans change. We highly recommend her.”
“Lori went above and beyond taking care of my cat and dog for 2.5 weeks in our house. My animals were very well taken care of, and she was great at messaging. I was very happy that I got daily photos or videos of them! When I come back my house was immaculate. I would recommend her and will for sure book her again!”
“Robin was great! She did 3 pre-visits (we booked her a month and a half in advance). She stayed in our home for almost three weeks. Gave us almost daily updates with pictures. Our two fur babies were calm and relaxed when we came home. The house was left clean and in order. Will be using her again when we go away!”
“Catherine was great. Our 2 dogs and cat loved her. She was very communicative and sent tons of pictures, which our daughter loved. Definitely will book her again.”
“Thadora did a wonderful job both in taking care of Georgie, our cat, and the house. She was very reliable and kept in touch with pictures and messages. Georgie was a very happy cat!”
About: I have lots of experience with dogs, I've always had one growing up and I was responsible for feeding as well as regularly walking the dog. I love dogs so much and would be overjoyed at the opportunity to work with so many lovely dogs. I am currently only casually employed at an office job so I have plenty of time in my schedule to play with and take care of as many new friends as needed! I will make sure to abide by all information provided to me and I can efficiently and safely complete any task. From administering medications, tidying messes and bathroom areas to bathing, crating or playing with your pets, I will make sure to uphold the highest level of safety and care with all pets, that is my priority.
“Carmen looked after our very spoiled Labrador Retriever for 3 days, and he was very well cared for and was a happy fellow throughout her stay. She sent us lots of videos and photos, which always puts our minds to rest when we leave him. She even took care of the trick and treaters who came to our house on Halloween! Thanks so much Carmen, we will definitely be calling you again! 10 Stars :)”
“We were so thankful to have Ava housesit our dog Buddy and cat Bear while we were away for a few days! She was very kind, her communication was excellent, and she obviously cares a lot about animals and making your pets feel loved. Will absolutely book her again and would recommend her to anyone else!”
“Kianna is awesome! She did a great job looking after our fur baby. Communication and daily update photos were great and gave us peace of mind while that our little dude was well cared for while we were away.”
“Very happy with the care that Keira took of my two boys while I was away. Returned to happy pets and a clean house! I can rest easy knowing that they are in great hands when I can't be there.”
About: I’ve taken care of many different types of pets from cats to dogs to lizards. I have loved animals all my life and I plan to give all that love to your pet! I’m a high-level athlete a coach and work a retail service job and volunteer at a vet clinic because in my future, I hope to become a vet tech because I do love animals more than anything else in the world! I always ensure that my cats at home are well fed, have clean litter boxes and are given the love that they deserve. They are not allowed outside. They are indoor only.
About: Hi, I'm Madeline! I'm absolutely crazy about anything cat related, and seriously can't get enough of them (have you seen their little toe beans - adorable!) I've never not had a pet, they're just part of the family. While I haven't pet sit in a professional environment, I've grown up with multiple cats and dogs, and have over 10 years of personal experience with my furry friends. From a hyper little kitten to an older dog, I've enjoyed it all and would love to be part of your pet(s) day. I'm comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, brushing, playing, socializing, and any other task needed that your cats require. At this point, I think I'm the cat's servant :) No cats? No problem! I also have experience with dogs and would love to watch them too. I'm familiar with dog walking, feeding, cleaning, playing, and any other task needed for them to be most comfortable and happy. I can also take care of fish (I have 2 aquariums of my own) and would be open to watching over them if required, with duties including light feedings. I can't wait to meet all of your pets! I'm currently working part time, so I would have plenty of time to watch your pets while you're away. I'm happy to do drop in visits during the day, or stay overnight so they'd be most comfortable. I have three highly demanding cats, who I love more than anything. They all get plenty of snuggles (one is sitting on me as I type this), scheduled dinner breaks (in specific locations since they all require a different cat food) and daily exercise, with plenty of play time! They get daily litter box cleanings, fresh food and water, and different forms of stimulation depending on their mood. Sometimes it's chasing toys and going bonkers, and other times they just need a little extra love and attention. My dogs go for daily walks in our neighborhood, and often play fetch in the backyard to get all their energy out! When inside they get lots of love and attention, with potty breaks throughout the day as needed. I also have experience fish keeping, and would be happy to make sure your little aquatic friends are thriving!
About: I’ve taken care of my own animals and well as for neighbours throughout my life. I currently have two cats named Jax and Finley. :) I am a student and have flexible time that will work with your preferred schedule. I can be available in the mornings, evenings, and even during the day. I follow each pet’s individual routine and care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if applicable, and any special needs communicated by the owner. I also make sure doors, gates, and outdoor areas are secure to help prevent pets from escaping.
“Saoirse was absolutely wonderful. She was kind and charming right off the bat, and then when with my Annie she was in touch frequently with the sweetest messages and pictures and updates. I was really nervous about hiring someone I didn’t know but Saoirse was so great that I didn’t feel any concern leaving Annie in her care.”
“Robyn did an amazing job looking over my two pups for the long weekend ! Followed instructions and also took pictures of my dogs every day for me ! Definitely recommend using her !”

Thanks so much to Cindy for giving us peace of mind while we went on vacation without our senior dog and cat. The best place for them was to be in their own home with a familiar routine and Cindy provided that comfort to them. She sent daily pics to keep us up to date which was appreciated…I will most definitely book Cindy in the future knowing how kind, caring and trustworthy she was to our pets. Thank You again!
Thadora was fantastic with our senior dog! Unfortunately she wasn't feeling 100% and Thadora was completely understanding and put us at ease that she would be well taken care of. We received lots of updates and photos. We came home to a very happy (& healthier) dog and a clean house. Will definitely use Thadora for future stays. Thanks again!
Aidan was prompt at replying to our initial request and scheduling a meet up. She was personal and attentive to all instructions. She was in frequent communication throughout her time looking after Zuma and handled all duties like a pro. Can’t wait to have her watch our dog again and would recommend to others!
Ashton was phenomenal!! She stayed with our very anxious dog in our home for 10 days while we were out of the country. I was nervous about leaving him, but as soon as I met her, all of my worries faded away. Right away it was clear how much she loves dogs and was willing to do anything and everything to make our dog feel safe and comfortable. Ashton is very kind, caring, patient, responsible and was incredible with communication and updates both with our home and how our dog was doing. She even went above and beyond shoveling snow, doing an errand for me and getting our dog pup cups to try and win him over. When we came home from vacation, our place was spotless and our dog excited to see us. I felt completely relaxed in another country while Ashton was taking care of our home and our dog. I will definitely be hiring her again in the future and highly recommend her!
We’d never thought to use a pet sitting service before, but after meeting Cara twice before she came to house sit/pet sit we felt very comfortable having her come into our home to take care of our most precious babies. Cara sent us pictures daily which was always the highlight of our day. She took our golden retriever for walks at the off leash park which is one of his favourite things to do. I could tell my ragdoll kitten was brushed daily which was also important to me to keep her fur mat free. When we got home our house was absolutely immaculate, Cara went above any of our expectations and we are so grateful for the care she gave our pets and our home. When we go away again I really hope that Cara will be available to watch Tucker and Ginny because she has set the bar very high.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sherwood Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sherwood Park on Rover is $48.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 640 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sherwood Park. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Sherwood Park 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.
Tip: 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 Sherwood Park 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 Sherwood 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!
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, identity 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
