About: Growing up in a family of dog lovers and now sharing my home with two cats, caring for animals has always been part of my life. Friends, family, neighbours, and community members have trusted me to care for their pets for many years. I have experience with dog walking, pet sitting, and helping raise and train family dogs from puppyhood. I am very familiar with positive reinforcement training and the importance of maintaining each pet’s established routines and training cues. I enjoy providing both physical exercise and mental enrichment through activities such as scent games, training exercises, and interactive play. I am happy to care for both dogs and cats and will work with you to ensure your pet’s individual needs are met. I work part-time as a volunteer coordinator, which gives me flexibility for pet care throughout the week. I am available for evening and weekend visits, as well as some weekday walks and drop-in visits. For cats and lower-mobility dogs, I can also provide daytime drop-in visits during work hours. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing are my top priorities. Before each booking, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, health needs, training cues, and favourite activities so I can provide care that feels familiar and consistent. I am happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. If your pet requires medication, special feeding instructions, or extra patience and attention, I will work with you to ensure their needs are met.
About: I've grown up with big dogs my whole life, all yellow labs. Maeve (our newest addition to the family), I helped train and teach her tricks, helped with her recall, and we love to go on our summer walks to practice polite leash walking along the lake, and her favorite is in the winter when we go for a walk with breaks to play fetch in the snow. I have always had a deep connection with dogs and find that there are not many dogs who don't like me. I also have experince with senior dogs and know the care and effort that goes into making their day comfortable and engaging even if they are unable to do much! I am currently putting a pause on dog sitting, but am open to dog walks! I work every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, most times can do late afternoon/early evenings! But my schedule is subject to change at times, so during the week there will be times I will be open during the whole day! I am very comfortable caring for dogs and reading their body language to understand what they may need. I know that building trust takes time, and I am patient and attentive in creating a calm and safe environment for your dog(s). I look forward to geting to know both you and your dog(s)!
About: I have been caring for dogs over 30 years. This has consisted of caring for multiple dogs of my own as well as caring for pets of both friends and family. I am skilled in dog training and like to keep the pooches entertained and active. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday hybrid schedule (2-3 days a week at home) and I therefore have availability most days and weekends. On days I am in office I take time both in the mornings and evenings to go on walks and have some play time to care for your fur baby. I take regular morning and evening walks daily with my dog as well as visit the park everyday to run, socialize and play. I have a large fenced yard for the pups to play and run around in with my small 5 year old bhichon shih tzu to keep them company! I ensure that both the home and yard are kept safe and free of anything that may be harmful to the pups. All dogs are separated at eating times to avoid any issues with feeding aggression. I have a dog park within walking distance to our home as well as other various parks and trails to visit on on our daily walks and adventures.
“Katherine was so kind and caring to our kitties! She sent a lot of pictures and helped me feel at ease when I was away. I felt comfortable during my trip and was able to relax and enjoy my holiday knowing that she had it covered! She is an awesome sitter and I highly, highly recommend her!”
About: Dogs in my home are like family so if you trust me with your best friend I promise to offer your dog genuine love and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs - big and small. Your dog will get plenty of exercise and personalized attention in a loving, safe, happy environment. I will respect and adhere to all specific dietary and any other need of your dog. I like to walk and be outdoors with animals. I registered with Rover in 2024 but didn't accept dog sitting duties at the time due to work commitments. I am now retired so my schedule is fairly flexible and I can typically adapt to meet your needs. I have a fenced backyard, plenty of nearby walking trails, and a dog park. Pets are encouraged to feel at home and sit on the furniture with a big cozy blanket. I understand every dog has different needs so I'll listen carefully about your dog's needs to help you and your pet feel comfortable. I'll be happy to connect with you digitally as required.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life from kittens and puppies to senior cats and senior dogs. I currently even have my own 3 year old German shepherd and trained him myself. I’m currently only working part time during the week and available all day on weekends so have plenty of time to care for your pets! I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet while caring for them in their own home. I follow all routines carefully, keep spaces clean and secure, give regular updates, and make sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Madalynn was excellent. I have a very anxious, jumpy Great Dane that Madalynn met, and she was very calm about his frustration and anxiety. She worked with him using treats and was able to settle him. She never showed any fear at all! I will have her back again!”
About: I work from home, will guarantee 3 walks per day, allow dogs on furniture and bed (if so requested). My medium dog Coco and I look forward to caring for your dog and welcoming them in our loving home. I dog walk daily at morning, lunch and evening, at times exceeding 10km per day. As I work from home, pets are seldom alone and always paid close attention to. As a life long dog owner, your pet is a priority and will be pampered just like my own is. Our home has ample space for close cuddles or solo couch lounge sessions.
“Lilly looked after my two 12 year old cats for 10 days! I received pictures and an update each day of how they were doing. The cats were very well taken care of and seemed very content on our arrival home!”
“Sarah has been watching my pup for a few days now and she has been so kind. She repeats my instructions to me in detail so she understands exactly how to care for my pup. We are hoping to be able to keep booking her for the next few months!”
“Chelsea is amazing! She is always very attentive and caring to the pets she is taking care of. We love having Chelsea take care of our cat and will continue to have her watch over our fur baby in the future.”

About: I have been house sitting and pet sitting for the last 10 years. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, from bulldogs to rottweilers, to cattle dogs, and shi-tzus. I also have two 7 year-old domestic short-haired kitties named Mr. Finn and Leonard! I also have several years of experience dealing with birds and reptiles, as well as small animals from working at two different pet stores. I cannot wait to meet your furry friend and treat them like my own! I am currently working part time so I am happy to spend as much time with your pet as I can! And am more than comfortable staying over! I am hoping to make this into full-time work, so that I can dedicate my life to doing something I love. My experience with different breeds, temperments, and ages/health concerns makes me more than qualified to handle anything your pet has to throw at me! I am comfortable with force-free training, providing medications, and crating animals. Even the grumpiest cat will not deter me. I am happy to meet them at their level, whether that's jumping and kissing or completely leaving them alone!
“Saoirse is very sweet and kind. I love how caring she was for my shadow. She gave me daily updates and sent me pictures and videos. I would recommend her if you have a fussy cat that is anxious.”
About: After saying goodbye to our 14 year old lab we have a puppy who loves to play. I'm happy to offer pee breaks or play time! I work part-time from home and a stay-at-home mom so between errands and school drop offs I'm free to play with furry friends & tire mine out in the process!! My pets are part of the family and we treat them as such. Your furry friends would be well taken care with me! Pee breaks or playtime, I'm your gal.
“Cheyenne was fantastic! I had to go out of town for work, and my senior kitties require 2x daily feedings, and she took care of them wonderfully! I got lots of great feedback and pictures with my Rover card after each visit and she told me some lovely stories about how my kitties were interacting with her. The house was as I left it and more importantly my kitties were happy and relaxed! I would recommend Cheyenne to everybody and anybody.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - St. Albert
Our Charles was getting over a sickness and we weren’t ready to leave him home alone just yet. Paula was willing to meet us 10 minutes before our booking to get them introduced as Charles can be anxious with new people. We saw that he trusted her the second she walked in. We left feeling relieved, knowing he was in good hands. She took such good care of him and I will request her again when we need it. Thanks Paula!
It was so nice to have Kate checking in on our dogs. She send pictures and we got a notification every time she started her visit. You could tell the dogs were very happy and well cared for. Kate were amazing and we can definitely recommend her! Looking forward to use her again in the near future :)
Vita was amazing with my dog Nube. She walked her twice a day, fed her and gave her the medications. I’m very thankful to Vita as I had to do an emergency trip abroad because my father passed away. Vita even shovel the snow. She did check ins with every visit that showed the map where she walked my dog and how many times she peed or poop. I would highly recommend Vita to care for your pets 💕🐶🐾

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a St. Albert stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in St. Albert choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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.
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.
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.
