“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!”
“Holli was so wonderful with my 10-year-old rescue dog Cubby! We had a lovely meet and greet, and I booked for one overnight before I will be away for a week as my pup is older and a bit sensitive. Will be booking with her again asap! She has an amazing fenced in yard, sent great updates, and administered my dog's meds. Was looking for a boarder who would be home a lot and had calm, caring energy - and Holli was the perfect fit. Cubby was happy as a clam when I picked her up :)”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Nicole took really good care of our mini Aussie. He seemed to gel right away with her dogs and with her. We got regular updates that allowed us to enjoy our time away without worry. Thanks so much Nicole.”
“Murray and Patricia were great with Murphy. Murphy looked right at home when I picked him up. They were very accommodating when I made a scheduling change. Will go back anytime.”
“Stacey is always fantastic to deal with. Every interaction is genuine from booking to pick up, and she goes above and beyond to ensure the best care possible. We would not hesitate to have Stacey sit Sputten again.”
“Robyn and Chris were amazing! Nero hates smooth floors and they adapted their living room with blankets and beds so he could play “floor is lava” the whole time. He had a blast! Will definitely be back.”
“Diane O and little Cindy were just what Kaldi needed while we were away! Knowing that Kaldi was loved and cared for made also helped to make our holiday more enjoyable. Diane took the time to find out all she could about Kaldi sin order to provide the type of routine that we had for him at home. While we were away she sent us updates and photos, which were really appreciated. Thank you Diane for your care and love for our little dog.”
“Brittany was great with our Mia. She kept us updated about the things they were doing and she took such a good care of her, I felt happy and confident that she was been treated just the way we treat her at home… like a spoiled little baby. Thank you so much! We will keep using your services for sure!”

We left our dog and our daughter’s dog in the care of Brooke and Sebastian for 5 days. Neither dog had ever been left with anyone other than family, so this was a big deal for everyone. From the moment we met Brooke and Sebastian at the meet and greet, it was evident our dogs would be in good hands. We immediately felt comfortable, but most importantly, the dogs felt at home. Brooke and Sebastian took wonderful care of our dogs and showered them with lots of love and attention. They went on lots of walks and adventures; and we were sent plenty of updates the entire time we were gone. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for great care for their dogs, and will be sure to use them again in the future!! Thank you again!
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.
Melody was absolutely fantastic with our Frenchie puppy! She took great care of her, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious our puppy was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We came home with a happy pup, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Melody to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter. Thank you again, Melody!
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
- 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.
