“I was worried about leaving my 1 year old cockapoo for the first time and Kirsty was so wonderful and accommodating with my Penny. I got regular updates and pics and came back to my baby happy as can be. Will definitely be back!”
“I was nervous at first coz my baby never stayed in other people’s house. But Pamela was great. She care and understood my baby situation 😊She gave me pictures when I asked and told me that my cat is alright.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Michelle and the kids were great and took really good care of Muffin. Muffin had a lot of fun and hoping to drop Muffin back at their place whenever they are available. Thank you Michelle!”
“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.”
“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 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.”
“Robyn is fantastic! My higher anxiety pup felt comfortable very quick and had a great time during his stay. Would and will recommend to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur baby. Thank you for the excellent care.”
“Darwin was well-cared for - lots of pats and back scratches. Andrea and Bernal gave me updates and replied quickly to any query. They were flexible and helpful. Go and meet them!”
“"Jenna was fantastic! She treated my Miley as if she were her own. As this was my first time using Rover, I had no worries leaving Miley with her. Jenna kept us updated with pictures and videos, and when I picked Miley up, she was happily exhausted from playing with Jenna’s dog the entire time. I’ll definitely be booking with Jenna again!”
“Jessica was really great. Our dog got multiple trips to the dog park and walks. I got lots of updates, which provided a lot of comfort since she was a new sitter. Our dog had lots of opportunities to cuddle with Jessica, too. I’d recommend and will use again.”

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.
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.

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.

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
You and your St. Albert sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
