“Celeste was amazing at taking care of our two cats while we were away. She stopped at our house to play with them, groom them, make sure things were kept clean and ok at home, for about 30 minutes. She provided lots of pictures and communicated promptly with us. She asked for permission to bring her young daughter who loves animals a lot with her to visit and we agreed. I could tell by the pictures that our cats were happy to have an extra person pet them and play with them. I highly recommend Celeste and next time we need someone, we will call her back as we would love having her to take care of our pets again!”
About: Have had many animals in our past, such as dogs, cats, fish, and even horses. The backyard is large, and backs onto the St. Albert trail system. Excellent for walking your lovely dog. Also my wife has completed her course as a veterinarian assistant. I am a retired gentleman around home most often. Am also able to travel (within St.Albert and area) to your home to tend to your animals. I have a large fenced in backyard which backs onto to the St. Albert trail system and is perfect for walks.. My wife (at one time) was a trained Animal Health Technologist.
“Alana is a great pet sitter. This was our first time having her drop in to feed our cat. We came home to a happy cat! Alana provides excellent updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. We will definitely have her come back.”
“I really enjoyed having Joy as a pet sitter this weekend. She came over and spent the whole evening for both nights here at the house. She cleaned the kitty litter box and fed the cats. She made sure the water was fresh and she followed up as soon as she knew I was home to make sure everything was OK. They strongly recommend her and I would certainly invite her to pet sit for us again. Both of my cats seemed very relaxed when I got home.”
“She took care of my two cats for 4.5 days. I really appreciated how thoroughly she went over my instructions and provided detailed updates on how each day went. While she was unfortunately late most days - and significantly late on the last day for their scheduled feeding time - she stayed well past her scheduled time to ensure my cats received complete care. We even extended her booking by 30 minutes so she could comfortably give the my cats the care they needed and be compensated for her time. She truly prioritized my cats’ well-being. Her dedication to my cats ultimately made up for the tardiness.”
About: I have loved dogs since I was a wee babe. Whether it was being pulled behind the sleigh by our Chesapeake Bay Retriever, walking our Dachshund as a pre-teen, taking our Rottweiler mix to training class during high school, or helping my ageing mother with her senior rescue, I have always had a loving and respectful relationship with dogs. I am literally the girl whose friends all know I stop to pet all the dogs I meet (with permission first of course). So if I sound like your kind of pet person I’d be delighted to help you in looking after your dog! I work a regular Monday-Friday 9-5 week and have evenings free so I have lots of time after work and weekends to walk and play with your pup! I have two calm dog-friendly cats at home so if you have a cat-friendly dog who likes furry friends then they will all get along. I also walk a neighbour’s dog regularly so if your pup prefers to have friends join for walks then we can do that too.
“Our cats are normally afraid of new people but they instantly loved him and seemed like they barely noticed we were gone. Our cats needed a lot of dedicated care and Ren was super accommodating and met all of their needs while we were gone and even went above and beyond to ensure the house was clean when we got back.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with dogs my entire life, and while I would love to have one again, my current family schedule doesn’t allow me to give a dog the time and attention it deserves. These days, I’m a very proud cat mom to our kitty, Nacho, who is an incredibly loved (and admittedly spoiled!) member of our family. I absolutely adore him and can’t imagine our home without him. I really believe our pets are part of the family, and they deserve all the love, attention, and care that comes with that. I actually discovered Rover when I was looking for someone to care for Nacho while we were away on vacation. I loved the peace of mind that came with knowing he was being looked after, and the experience inspired me to offer that same reassurance to other pet owners. I also love being active and spending time outdoors, so I’m especially excited about having some four-legged walking companions! Whether it’s taking your dog out for some fresh air and exercise or stopping by to give your cat some love, playtime, and companionship, I’d be thrilled to help care for your pets as though they were my own. I’ve recently returned to university to complete my Education After Degree, so my schedule offers some flexibility around classes and family life. I love being active and getting outdoors, and dog walking is a wonderful way to incorporate that into my day! I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits based on my class schedule and am happy to discuss arrangements that work for you and your pet. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are being well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to make every visit a positive experience and help your pet feel as comfortable as possible in their own familiar environment. I’ll always follow your instructions, respect your home’s routines, and take the time to understand your pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether it’s a walk, feeding, playtime, or just some extra companionship, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of care and attention. And of course, I’m always happy to send photos and updates! I know firsthand how reassuring it is to see your pet happy while you’re away.
“Samana was so amazing with my 4 babies! She made me feel so reassured and sent me lots of photos and updates through her visit. If I were to leave my cats alone I’d always rebook with her, she’s also such a ray of sunshine!! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!”
“Very attentive pet sitter who looked after our girls so well! We will be return clients without a doubt! If you are going away and need someone trust worthy to come to your home to do drop in care”
“Very happy with Thanh's care of my two kitties! Sent me updates and pictures everyday, definitely helped give me peace of mind that my kitties are doing well. Would definitely hire again for my next vacation!”
About: I have been the go to sitter for family and friends for a long time now! From long walks and quality time with your furry friends. To feeding time and clean up time, I am always happy to help! I have experience with rescue animals and senior animals as well. I’m currently working a full time job from 8am-4pm four days a week! My weekends are always free and I have lots of time after work as well for any pet care needs! I will always put your animal first and make sure they are always in a safe and joyful environment. I will always make sure yards are secure and leashes as well. The most important thing to me is the safety of every pet.
“Emma D was amazing with our three big dogs including our Bernese that required extra care and pill and liquid medication administration. Emma provided daily reports and photos of the dogs and she was also able to help us with an issue we had with our smoke detector battery without any hesitations to help destress the dogs. We will definately get Emma back next time we heed the help.”
About: I have spent a lot of time around all different types of dogs, but I especially have a place in my heart for big dogs. Bigger the better!! I have experience with Great Danes, and I feel comfortable walking and playing with big dogs. I am currently finishing up my Bachelor of Arts degree, and my classes will be done in early December 2026. Along with school, I am working 2 part-time jobs within the city of St. Albert. I am currently available for either early morning walks/check-ins, or later evening walks/check-ins (after 7-9 depending on schedule). I am also saving up for my wedding in August of 2027! I am also available for overnight stays in the owners home, as my rental does not allow dogs, and my cat is not a fan of other cats. If given enough notice, I can spend a few days specifically at your home with your pet while you are away! I offer constant supervision of dogs within the yard. If your cat is an outdoor cat, I will not sleep until they are in the house, safe and sound. I also feel comfortable administering medication to both dogs and cats. I ensure your home is clean for the safety of all animals and humans coming back to the house!
About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I feel very comfortable with them both and I’ve helped friends and family care for both. Love them and enjoy being with them. I am currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to play and entertain your cats/dogs at a time and day that’s best for you and your pet. I unfortunately do not do house sitting at my home, but I am happy to come to your home and care for your fur babies there.
About: I have three cats and a dog and grew up caring for animals. I love caring for pets and appreciate all the nuances that come with proper care, including feeding, walking, playing, meds, hair brushing, nail clipping and having fun. I'm also a dad of two and super committed to being entirely safe and responsible for a pet's full well being and safety I work from home and have the flexibility to take lunches and have time after work to provide pet care services, especially so on weekends. I have a fenced home to ensure any pets at my home are completely safe. As a pet owner, I am also sure to build trust and ensure your pet is in environment where they are cared for and completely safe.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - St. Albert
Shea was absolutely fantastic. We just moved here and had SO MUCH anxiety about finding a pet sitter, but from the moment we met her during our meet and greet our worries were immediately diminished. This was confirmed with her wonderful updates and pictures we recieved during our time away. It is so apparent that Shea LOVES looking after animals and puts her whole heart into it. We truly couldn't ask for more. We were so impressed that booked her again for an upcoming weekend away. THANK YOU Shea for being so great! We are grateful for the love and care you showed Louis 💙

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.

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.
