“This was our fourth time booking with Cindy. Cindy is amazing! She stayed at our home for two weeks while we were away and took such great care of our cat, Frankie. We came home to a happy, healthy cat and a spotless house. - we could tell he'd been really well looked after and given lots of attention. Communication was great throughout our trip, and we always felt that Frankie was in good hands. It made our time away so much more enjoyable knowing everything at home was being taken care of. The daily photos she sent us made our day. We'd most definitely book with Cindy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter!”
“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!”
“Troy was absolutely great! Very friendly and super responsive. We appreciate how he sent pictures and updates regularly! 100% recommend to others and will book again :) thank you!”
“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.”

“It was great having Adrianna looking after our 2 cats while we were on vacation. She took good care our house and our cats, making sure they were happy, well-fed, and loved while we were away. Our home was also spotless when we returned, and everything was exactly as we left it. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring house and pet sitter.”
“Alyssa was great with our dog and house for 2 weeks while away. We received pictures and videos of her walking him daily. He was well taken care of. Our house was spotless when we returned.”

“Sara came and spent the weekend caring for our 3 dogs and 2 cats. She sent us pet pictures several times. Our pets always seemed happy and relaxed. The house was tidy when we came home. Sara was also kind enough to deal with a repair person while she was at our home. We will definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Can’t say enough on how great it was to have Danielle step up and take care of our Maddie on short notice. We will definitely look to book Danielle again She took great care of 8 yr old “pup” and treated her so good and followed the post op instructions we provided thanks again Danielle!”
“We had another sitter cancel Last minute and David was able To help us out with watching our dogs. We use another dog sitting website and ended up with no sitter. David came over a week before we left to ensure he could watch our dogs and it was a good fit. We have a young puppy too and he was very accommodating. We also liked that david stayed most of time at home With the dogs to train The puppy. Our house was also clean when we came home and had daily pictures and a video sent. It was very easy to communicate. We recommend david for Sure.”
“We have had Saoirse come and stay with our two dogs and 1 cat a couple of times now. She is very good with them and keeps us posted with pictures and updates daily. We highly recommend her!”
“I was nervous to leave for a night without my dogs. Ava had fantastic communication while we were away and kept me up to date. When I came home my puppies were happy and seemed to be at ease. Unfortunately she had to deal with my dog making a mess, and she dealt with it without any hesitation and was understanding. 10/10 Would recommend!”
About: I’ve always been the person who says hi to the pets before the people. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality. I have two reactive dogs, so I understand patience, body language, and meeting pets where they’re at—whether that’s a confident adventure buddy or a more cautious, slow-to-warm-up friend. I’m also very comfortable with cats and their very specific opinions on everything. My goal is simple: keep your pets safe, happy, and cared for! I have reduced hours at work during the summer so I have plenty of time of extra time to fill with your dogs! I can do over nights, afternoon walks and weekend care! I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. I follow their usual feeding, walk, play, and medication schedules as closely as possible to help reduce stress while their owners are away. I have experience with reactive dogs, so I’m comfortable reading body language, managing triggers, and using patience and calm handling to keep pets feeling safe. I take things at each pet’s pace, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra space. I’m also very comfortable caring for cats and understand the importance of letting them come to me on their terms. I’m happy to provide regular updates with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sherwood Park is $50

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sherwood Park on Rover is $47.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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
- 94% 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.
