“This was Asher’s second time staying with Vanessa and her family. Vanessa gave daily updates and pictures and was very easy to communicate with. We definitely recommend Vanessa and we will definitely be using her in the future!”
“I was very comfortable leaving our 9 year old dog with Marilyn. He was a little out of sorts of being in a new place, but Marilyn made sure he was safe and comfortable. I would recommend Marilyn as a petsitter to my friends and family.”
“Murray and Paddi are fantastic sitters! Our pup was so excited to be returning for her second stay. Mattie loves the opportunity to get social play time with other dogs while we are away and we feel confident that she’s in great hands when we leave her with Murray and Paddi.”
“Stacey and her family were amazing! We felt so at ease leaving Sputten with them for the week. What we loved most was the daily updates and photos. They brought so much joy and comfort as we watched him playing with other dogs and cuddling up. Knowing he was happy and safe allowed us to enjoy our vacation. We were super impressed with Stacey’s ability to replace Sputten’s eye drops when the container got damaged and thought she went above and beyond washing his bed upon our return. We will definitely be booking with Stacey again in the future!”
“Heather is awesome. My dogs are very anxious - especially my senior girl who also takes meds. Both dogs felt very comfortable as soon as they arrived at Heathers - definitely a first! Great communication and dogs were happy and relaxed <3”
“From meet & greet to pickup, Jennifer was a joy to deal with. Great communication and very obvious dog lover! Tobias had a wonderful stay, lots of cuddles and off leash exercise (his favorite things!). Pictures/updates very appreciated. Tobias will be back for more vacations!”
“Katrina and Ryan really stepped up and took incredible care of Odin while we had to be away for a long weekend. After a very positive and relaxed meet and greet with their dog, we agreed it was the perfect fit for everyone. Dropping off and picking up was totally smooth, and we got multiple daily update photos that really helped keep us at ease while being seperated from our pup. It was clear that Odin was lavished with affection and cared for as if he was their very own pup. I would not hesitate to recommend Katrina and Ryan to anyone looking for top shelf service for their loved one.”
“Pamela is a wonderful caregiver who looks after Ricky like one of her own. She is very knowledgeable in cat care and gives me good advice on how to look after Ricky better as well.”
“Nicole and her husband were great! There was daily communication and updates with photos and videos. They cared for my lab, Phoebe, like she was their own. Gave her a bath and showered her with love! I definitely recommend them.”
“Ben was fantastic, and his price is reasonable… if it stays that way, I will definitely use him again in the future! It’s more reasonable than most prices that are listed. We are both happy! Libby seems to have had had a great time with him :) thanks Ben!”
“Tracy and her family are amazing with Rex. He gets so excited when we pull up to their house. I have a high level of love for my dog and they meet me where I am at in spoiling my little guy with love”
“Katelyn and her family made my little guy feel right at home, communication was great, she sent photos abd provided updates if I needed. I would definitely rebook another time. 😊”
“Very friendly family with a warm and loving home. I was very grateful to have a place to leave my beloved dogs where I instantly felt that I could trust them. One of my dogs is very anxious and was having trouble settling down but they were able to calm and relax him. Would absolutely recommend.”
“I simply cannot say enough glowing things about Adina. I have a wee Chihuahua that has never been apart from me and needed 4 days of care for her. Adina and her husband came by my house for a meet and greet before her boarding and immediately put any concerns I had at ease. When I dropped my Lily off Adina had toys for her which she immediately got into, she felt very at ease. Throughout her visit, Adina sent pictures and messages and a Wonderful funny video of them both. Adina is one of the most loving gentle people, I have met and gave my Lily an amazing wee holiday. You would be incredibly fortunate to have Adina care for your pup. I couldn't say Thank you enough!!! Bless you Adina 🫂🐾🙏♥️”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - St. Albert
We felt so confident leaving our pup with these two. Their calm and accepting manner from the get go was exceptional and they welcomed our dog into their home like he was their own. We loved that he was walked regularly and that they communicated daily with us during our absence. We would not hesitate to leave him again as he was so happy and settled in their home. We appreciate this feeling.
Luna had a wonderful time and Im half convinced she would have liked to stay when we picked her up! She really liked having a playmate for her boarding. I appreciated the updates and the pictures we received to let us know she was enjoying her stay. We would definitely board with Natasha (and family and Dexter!) again.
Pixie had a great time at Melody’s place. She has a friendly pup, and they got along, so Pixie was not really bored! She has a loving family, which Pixie got a lot of attention from, and she really loves that. She also sent me pictures and videos of her, which really helped ease my mind knowing she’s safe and having fun. Her place is not that far from Edmonton, so I will definitely book her again.
This was our first time using the Rover app to find long-term stay with a sitter. Not only was at our first time. It was a very last minute extremely short notice request. Sarah was very flexible and very accommodating and understanding given our situation and worked quickly with us to arrange a meet and greet and make the required arrangements for this transition to happen. I was very impressed with Sarah and her professionalism and love for animals. It was such a huge relief to find someone so quickly and to have that peace of mind leaving our dog on such short notice. Sarah provided daily feedback, updates and photos which further put our minds at ease while being away. We will absolutely use her again. It is very apparent that Sarah has a love for animals and takes great pride in her ability to do so. Her experience and compassion speak volumes.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their St. Albert home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your St. Albert
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
