“Holli was incredible to work with and took such good care of our dog, who needed some special accommodations. We would recommend her in a heartbeat and look forward to using her services again!”
“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.”
“I could not have found better people to take care of my dog. Katrina and Ryan made my dog feel at home and treated her like one of their own. They provided regular updates which eased my mind and reassured me that my dog was ok. Their own dog is lovely, kind and gentle with my dog being in their space. My dog doesn’t normally get along with dogs but she was very comfortable with Katrina’s dog. I will be definitely leaving my dog with Katrina and Ryan 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!”
“Nicole and her husband were great! There was daily communication and updates with photos and videos. They cared for my lab, Phoebe, like she was their own. Gave her a bath and showered her with love! I definitely recommend them.”
“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 ❤️”
“Vanessa provided boarding for our Frenchton and did an amazing job with updates and pics. She was very accommodating allowing us a meet and greet before the stay. Vanessa also ensured to understand any special care requests to make our dog feel at home. Nothing but good things to say.”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Murray and Paddi took wonderful care of our dog! She got plenty of exercise and love during her 2-week stay. She was super tired and happy when she came home, and had a lot of fun playing with the other pets. We felt a sense of comfort knowing our dog was in such capable hands while we were gone.”
“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!”
“Anna provided wonderful care to our dog over a weekend. She took our dog for walks and provided great updates with photos of the walking route. Thank you Anna for the careful attention you paid to our treasured.pet 🙏❤️”
“Jenna was very flexible with my schedule, took Ela for walks, ensure she ate her food and much more! Ela has been very well cared for and was tired when she got home. I will be rebooking with Jenna for sure! ❤️”
“We are incredibly grateful to Jazlynn and Quenton for their care of our pup. They kept us informed and provided updates which gave us comfort that he was in good hands. While our fur baby is very loveable, it was the longest we have been away, the calm considerate approach was reassuring and we knew he was getting one on one attention, love and was well taken care which was greatly appreciated.”
“Brittany is a very loving dog sitter. She cared for Ellie as if she was her own. Lots of love was given and Ellie became quite comfortable and made herself at home immediately. We will definitely request Brittanys services next time we are in Edmonton.”
“They watched our senior pup while we were out of town, roman is an anxious pup but katelyn and her family made sure to make him feel secure and a part of the family!”
“Sherrie and her family were amazing with our pups. We could sense how comfortable our pups were with them and it was evident how well cared for and loved our pups were, while in their care. During pickup, after their initial excitement of seeing us, our younger pup tried to follow Sherrie back into her home as she went in to get their bag. This is a glowing endorsement for us as he normally sticks to is like glue! Sherrie also provided daily text and/or photo updates which put our minds at ease. This was our first Rover booking and we were unsure of what to expect, but seeing our pups looking so relaxed and happy confirmed that we had found a perfect home/pet sitting family for our pups. We have already booked our second stay with Sherrie and we hope that we she will always be available when we need to book a stay on Rover.”
“Great communication. Shona is very kind, communicative, and punctual, send message and videos of Polly every day. Polly loves to play with other dogs and enjoys great company which I greatly appreciate! Shona clearly loves pets and Polly is spoiled. Thanks for looking after Polly! Kind and easy to work with Shona!”
“I don’t think there’s enough words to describe how wonderful and caring this family is. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond by meeting with us the day after we booked so that our dog could get to know them and feel comfortable before his stay. Throughout his time with them, they treated him like he was part of their family. He enjoyed multiple walks every day, plenty of attention, and so much love and affection. It was clear from the updates and photos that he was happy, relaxed, and well taken care off. Their kindness, communication, and genuine love for animals truly shines through. We came home to a happy, well-loved dog. You’re an incredible family! 🐶❤️”
“Nicole was amazing! She kept me updated with photos and videos and it was clear Pickles was happy and well cared for! I’m so grateful for Nicole's kindness and professionalism - I highly recommend Nicole and we'll be back!!”

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Leaving your dogs behind is never easy, but from the very beginning, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving hands. Seb & Brooke cared for our dogs as if they were their own, and it was so clear how much love and attention they gave them. I received so many updates and photos throughout their stay, which meant the world to me. Seeing Penny & Gus so happy, relaxed, and having so much fun made it so much easier to enjoy my time away. It’s rare to find people who genuinely treat your pets like family, and that’s exactly what they did. I could tell by the photos my dogs were completely at ease and felt safe and happy. I am beyond grateful for everything they did and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for kind, trustworthy, and exceptional dog sitters. Thank you so much for loving my dogs like your own. I know they’ll be excited to come back, and we will absolutely be booking with you 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!
Brad was amazing with our puppy while we were away for 10 days! He gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in such great hands. He was reliable, caring, and made sure our puppy was well looked after and happy. We came home to a very happy puppy, and it was clear she had been loved and cared for the whole time. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Brad again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter through Rover!
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.
