“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!”
“Marilyn was wonderful with Max! She sent me pics & videos & made sure I always knew how he was doing. Max will definitely be back with Marilyn next time we need a doggie sitter!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Murray and Paddi gave to my dog, Charlie! They went above and beyond to make sure he was well looked after, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable with them. It’s such a relief to know that Charlie was in such great hands. Highly recommend and would definitely give them a 5-star rating!”
“Michelle was wonderful when she watched our Dachshund Charlie! Very flexible with times to drop and pick up, and she kept us updated with how he was doing! We’d absolutely have Michelle watch Charlie again!”
“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.”
“Ana took amazing care of my dog, she sent me pictures and videos often so I felt good knowing he was happy and comfortable while I was away. Ana had great communication and my dog seemed very comfortable with her. I would be a repeat client but we are moving out of town unfortunately! Highly recommend her as a dog sitter :)”
“Exceptional Puppy Sitter!! We had the pleasure of having Heather care for our puppies, Rafiki and Zuri twice this week, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear that she is not only experienced but also has a genuine love for animals. She treated Rafiki and Zuri like her own, ensuring that both pups had everything they needed, from playtime to feeding and even some extra snuggles! Heather’s communication was outstanding. She sent us regular updates and adorable photos of Rafiki and Zuri, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our puppies felt safe and comfortable with her, which made our time apart so much easier. She even took the time to follow any specific instructions we had, ensuring everything went smoothly for both of them. She’s very attentive to detail and handled everything with ease, even when Rafiki and Zuri had a bit of extra energy or needed some additional attention. If you're looking for someone who will give your puppies the best care and attention, Heather is your person! We will absolutely be reaching out to her again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring puppy sitter. Thank you, Heather, for being such an amazing sitter for Rafiki and Zuri!”
“We were so worried about leaving our dog with someone else due to her fear and anxiety. Nicole eased all of worries within an hour of our pup staying with her. We were constantly sent videos and pictures and it helped us enjoy our trip more knowing our dog was being well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend Nicole to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter they feel comfortable with!”
“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!”
“We are so grateful for the warm and loving care our pup received while in Lis' care. Her house is lovely and welcoming, her yard large and enclosed, and she has the best dog toys! Thank you Lis for your frequent communication over the weekend, and flexibility in hours. We had a great time away knowing our pup was in such good hands ❤️”
“We left our blind 18yo senior pup with Holli for 2 weeks. We were worried about leaving him for so long, but Holli took great care of him. Would definitely have her look after our boy again!”
“Andrea was so great with my Clover! She sent me pictures and updates all the time and is clearly a true animal lover. I can always tell how Clovers experience was somewhere based on how stressed she is on the day of pick up. She seemed only minimally stressed (normal) and was very playful. I would definitely bring Clover back for another stay.”
“She’s caring and making effort to play with my dog. She make sure to stay with my pet’s routines and send lots of photo and video update. She also messaged me if she had any questions which shows her dedication. She’s flexible with dropping off and picking up time. My dog is high energy and had a great time staying with her family. Thanks Mariana!”
“She was a wonderful sitter for my Willow and it looks like she was well taken care of! Hopefully in the future I can bring my kitty back to visit her kitties!! 100000/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Renee was absolutely fantastic and took great care of our French bulldog. She sent updates and pictures through the stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place that actually enjoys taking care of your pet!! Thank you Renee!”
“Jennifer was very kind and very patient with my dogs. One of them is quite hyper and anxious, and tends to bark and jump up. Jennifer remained calm and reassuring and reported that the dogs did well at her house. Would definitely ask for her help in the future, whenever I need a dog sitter. Thank you.”

Absolutely AMAZING experience with Melody!!! We ended up needing care last minute, and she was better than we could have hoped for! She genuinely cared about our dog and made sure he felt right at home. Always sent us lots of pics and videos to ease our minds. Will definitely be using her again!
Debbie and Craig were absolutely amazing! Our dog, Poppy, settled in so nicely with them, and we really appreciated all the updates and photos while we were away. We could really tell her and Craig treated Poppy as if she was their own! She was so spoiled with multiple walks per day and lots of snuggles! We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
This was our first time booking with kirsty to look after our little man. We was a little nervous leaving him, as he is getting older and less active. But kirsty made the nerves disappear. We had a meet and greet where bruce met kirstys lovely doggies and some others who were in boarding at the time. The was very reassuring and hearing how much love kirsty has for all the dogs just made it confirm that this was the perfect place for bruce. Whilst we was away kirsty kept us upto date with lots of photos and comments on what bruce had been upto. This made us so happy and it was lovely to see how settled bruce had become. We would 100% use kirsty again and would 100% recommend. Bruce certainly had a great time as he slept the whole day and night when he was home to recharge his batteries!! Thank you again kirsty!
Adrianna and her partner were AMAZING pet sitters! They helped me out immensely by taking my very last minute daycare and boarding requests. Dax was well taken care of and absolutely had a blast. She looked like she felt right at home! I cannot recommend them enough. Book with Adrianna!
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.
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.
