“We are extremely happy with the service. We left our two small dogs for a trip for the first time. One of our dogs has anxiety as well and they handled it very well. We constantly got updates with walk progression, pictures and videos. The dogs are healthy and happy. It was like they were on their own mini vacation while we were away. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
“5 stars – Highly Recommend! I had a fantastic experience with Stacey. She and her daughter took excellent care of Bella, while I was away. They followed all instructions carefully, gave regular updates with photos, and treated my pup like family. I came home to a happy, healthy, and well-exercised dog. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Bella was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Stacey again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“So happy with Jeremy & his wife and the love they have for my Sophie 🐶 pictures & videos throughout her stay, from all her walks and snacks and adventures she’s on. She comes home happy 🥰”
“Katrina and Ryan were phenomenal with our dog Jasper. They provided frequent updates of their adventures, and made every moment enjoyable and fun for him. Communication was efficient and effective.

Thank you for taking such great care of our boy!!”

If you are looking for a pet sitter who will love your dog as much as you do, look no further than Marilyn! She cared for my dog, Millie, while I was away on vacation and treated her like her absolute own. Thanks to her excellent care and wonderful communication, I had total peace of mind the entire trip. Millie was so happy and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Five stars!
Robyn responded almost instantly to my last minute request for boarding, 2 days before my trip. We did a quick meet and greet the day before and then off she went! Robyn and her family have tons of dog experience and we felt very comfortable leaving our dog there. This was our first time using Rover, so of course there is always doubts, but we are happy we chose this vs a typical kennel. We were provided with daily updates/photos throughout our trip which was nice to see. She got lots of exercise and seemed to settle in. We would definitely recommend Rover and Robyn to any dog parent looking for a loving home and peace of mind.
Melody did such an amazing job taking care of my Zenobia. She treated my dog as if it was her own pet. The daily updates with pictures and videos is a step above. I'm very happy I was able to find her on Rover, Melody is definitely an amazing dog sitter and I will be using her from now on. I can't express enough how well Zenobia was taken care of. 5 stars plus. A 10/10 dog sitter for sure.
Sebastian and Brooke were absolutely amazing. This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone besides family and they made me feel so comfortable, even sending me pictures daily with updates. Couldn’t recommend them enough and I will definitely be using them in the future.
Brad and his family were so fantastic with our dog, Albie. Albie can be anxious and a bit high stress but Brad was so patient and kind with him. We received lots of updates and photos and Albie got so many walks. Brad was also very communicative and flexible with drop-off/pick-up times. Your pup will be well loved and well cared for with Brad, we will definitely reach out to him again!
This was my first time ever booking a dog sitter through Rover, and the whole process was incredibly easy. Clarsia & Devon were so accommodating, especially on such short notice. They took the time to meet with us beforehand so Cormick could meet the family and make sure it was a good fit for everyone. The communication was excellent, I received plenty of updates and photos while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and would absolutely recommend this family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter.
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.

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
- 100% 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.
