“I have never felt better about leaving my boys in such capable hands. Our Westies were well looked after and come home to rest. Plenary of exercise and snuggles available.”
“Such a calm and loving environment for our pup. Thank you Vanessa & family for taking such great care of Ringo! We appreciated the many photos and updates while we were apart. Thank you!”
“Ziggy had a wonderful time! As soon as I made contact with Murray and Paddi, they were so welcoming- coming for a meet and greet was a great way to put my mind at ease, and then everything from there forward was easy-peasy. My fluffy boy is now fast asleep on the couch after a fun/play filled weekend. Thanks kindly! Definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“This is the second time Nicole and Alistair have dog sat for us. Our pup was super relaxed and comfortable from the moment we arrived and very happy to see the sitters, which told me she remembered this is a safe place with nice people. I was traveling abroad with limited communication, but I felt comfortable that my pup was in good hands. I would definitely book with Nicole and Alistair again.”
“Michelle and family welcomed Winston and took such amazing care of them! I really appreciated their attention to detail and their updates throughout Winston’s time there. We are so grateful they were able to have Winston over for the weekend and will definitely request to book with them again in the future.”
“This was our first time using rover, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Marianna was very professional and was incredibly knowledgeable about dogs. We were very comfortable leaving our puppy with her knowing she was taking the absolute best care of our dog so we could enjoy our vacation without worrying about if the dog was ok. I can’t say enough good things.”
“Nicole was such a pleasure to communicate with. She welcomed Arlo with opened arms and sent me updated pictures throughout his stay. He came home and is absolutely exhausted ( I can tell he had alot of fun ). Thanks so much, Nicole. We will definitely be seeing you again :)”
“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. They went above and beyond to ensure a safe and fun experience for our dog. We were comfortable and confident leaving Jasper with Katrina and Ryan and we will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you for taking such great care of our boy!!”
“We have brought our dog to Tracy and Christopher many times and they treat her like their own! Would 10/10 recommend bringing your pets to this lovely family!”
“Jenna-Lee was amazing with Gretchen!! She provided frequent updates & was extremely kind both at pick up and drop off. I would definitely recommend her, especially as an anxious pet-owner who doesn’t leave her dog too often!”
“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.”
“Andrea and her family are wonderful with Maggie. She fit right in. The communication was excellent. I did not worry one bit about her care. Will definitely book again.”
“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!”
“Jennifer was very kind and very patient with my dogs. One of them is quite hyper and anxious, and tends to bark and jump up. Jennifer remained calm and reassuring and reported that the dogs did well at her house. Would definitely ask for her help in the future, whenever I need a dog sitter. Thank you.”
“Jeremy and his wife were absolutely wonderful dog sitters! We were out of town for a week and entrusted them with our two pups, Rose and Goose, and we couldn't have been happier with their care. From the moment we dropped the dogs off, it was clear they genuinely love animals. Throughout our trip, Jeremy sent us regular updates with photos and little notes about what Rose and Goose were up to—going for walks, snuggling on the couch, or just being their goofy selves. Those updates put our minds completely at ease and made being away so much less stressful. When we picked the dogs up, they were happy, healthy, and clearly had a fantastic time—tails wagging like crazy and not a hint of anxiety. It's obvious they were spoiled and well-loved the entire stay. We are so grateful to have found Jeremy and his wife, and we would 100% use them again without hesitation. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitters! Thank you both!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Katelyn! She takes such amazing care of matcha and always keeps us updated with messages and photos, which gives us so much peace of mind. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares and Matcha absolutely loves her. Highly recommend!”
“Katrina has gone above and beyond to take care of my Chi while out of town. She kept me informed and shared pictures and videos of my sweet Chi dog. They went for long walks and she has plenty of land for the dogs to play all day on! I highly recommend Katrina! I will definitely book her again! ☆☆☆☆☆”
St. Albert dog parents share their Rover experiences
We felt so confident leaving our pup with these two. Their calm and accepting manner from the get go was exceptional and they welcomed our dog into their home like he was their own. We loved that he was walked regularly and that they communicated daily with us during our absence. We would not hesitate to leave him again as he was so happy and settled in their home. We appreciate this feeling.
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 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.
Pixie had a great time at Melody’s place. She has a friendly pup, and they got along, so Pixie was not really bored! She has a loving family, which Pixie got a lot of attention from, and she really loves that. She also sent me pictures and videos of her, which really helped ease my mind knowing she’s safe and having fun. Her place is not that far from Edmonton, so I will definitely book her 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.
