“This was my first time ever booking a dog sitter, and the whole process was honestly so easy and stress free. Vanessa was incredibly accommodating on very short notice and even took the time to meet up beforehand so my dog could meet her family and make sure it was a good fit for everyone. She was amazing with communication from start to finish and was so loving and caring with Joey. I got lots of updates and pictures while I was away, which I really appreciated. Vanessa is a fantastic dog caregiver and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pup.”
“This is the second time I have used Marilyn's services. My little yorkie shitzu Max had surgery two weeks before we were scheduled to leave for our vacation & Marilyn was up for the challenge of following all the special care instructions from the vet so that his leg would continue to heal as it should. She was wonderful & an absolute life saver!”
“Murray and Patricia were amazing to deal. Speedy response times and sent lots of pictures and videos of Boomers time with them. Very friendly to deal with! You can tell they love spending time with the dogs. They also are very conveniently located. We will 100% use them again!”
“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, Ryan, and Rocky made leaving Artemis for a week a breeze! Even as an only dog at home, it was nice to have another one to show him the ropes. I appreciated the pictures and updates. He was happy to see me at pick up but also wanted both of us to stay! I'd happily board him with them again”
“Oliver stayed with Ana for two days/one night while i was away for work. I received many photo and video check ins from Ana throughout his stay which made me feel less nervous about leaving him with a new person. Oliver had a great time with Ana and I will definitely book with her again!”
“I can’t recommend Heather highly enough! She took exceptional care of our dog while we were away. My dog was happy and healthy when I returned, and it was clear he had received plenty of love and attention. Heather's reliable, trustworthy, and truly has a way with animals. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who will treat your pets like their own, look no further.”
“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!”
“Nicole took excellent care of Benji. She kept us updated on how well Benji was doing each day and sent a couple pictures. I appreciate her quick response to my last minute request. I will definitely have her dog sit again if she is available.”
“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.”
“Very happy with our first experience of our Marble sleeping over at Nicole and Alistairs home. She got along well with the other pups visiting too and we had pictures and updates sent on her stay. So happy to have found great care for her while we are away! :)”
“Jeremy and Tina were awesome with our senior dog! They sent photos and videos and reassured us that our fur baby was in great hands! I knew he was taken care of and loved as if he was their own! I definitely recommend Jeremy and his wife to anyone looking for a loving home for their dog sitting needs!”
“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!”
“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!”
“This was our second stay with Lis, and Buddy came home happy and well cared for, and we always appreciate the updates and pics. Thanks again Lis! We will definitely see you again.”
“Wonderful Dog sitters, they sent so many pictures and updated my family on how our dogs day was daily! I won’t hesitate to make them my first choice when I need a sitter again!”
“Pamela provided a wonderful and fun environment for my cat. My cat really enjoyed playing with the numerous toys in the home and even got time in the Catio! Thank you for taking in my cat on such short notice!”
“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. 😊”
“10/10 absolutely amazing!! I am very particular when it comes to who cares for my dog and Renee was exactly who I needed. I couldn’t fly with him so when I needed to board him for a week I went over the reviews for what felt like hours. My Rosco is very high energy and she always made sure he was played out either from the other dogs or her playing fetch, she was so amazing to keep up his routine, they were constantly outside, she was so quick to respond and sent photos near daily so I felt very comfortable with his happiness and comfort in her home!!”

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.
