“Samana was so amazing with my 4 babies! She made me feel so reassured and sent me lots of photos and updates through her visit. If I were to leave my cats alone I’d always rebook with her, she’s also such a ray of sunshine!! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!”

About: I have experience with different animals from small dogs to larger breeds > 100lbs I don’t have any pets of my own but I have volunteered at animal shelters walking dogs and giving pets and cuddles to the cats I enjoy walking in the river valley, checking out new neighbourhoods, hiking, and taking advantage of any opportunity to be around animals I am currently working part-time/ casual so my schedule varies but I mostly work evenings and have mornings and weekends off. If there is a stretch of time that will be needed, I can accommodate if sufficient notice is given I would ensure the dog is given a long/short walk depending on needs, letting out to use the bathroom and routine feeding. Lots of play time with balls or toys Cats- I will cuddle or play with your cat(s), feed if needed, clean litter as well

About: Hi! I’m based in St. Albert and spend most of my time outdoors with my own dog, whether that’s at the dog park or out on longer adventure walks. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments, and I always take the time to understand what each dog is comfortable with. Whether your dog prefers a relaxed neighborhood walk, some playtime at the park, or just a check-in visit at home, I’m happy to tailor care to their needs. Monday through Friday I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings, midday, and afternoons. Im also open to evenings or weekends with limited availability. I take a calm, patient, and safety-first approach when caring for pets. I focus on building trust and helping each dog feel comfortable, especially in new environments or situations. During walks, I pay close attention to surroundings, leash handling, and each dog’s behavior to ensure they stay safe and relaxed. I use positive reinforcement and reward good behavior rather than rushing or forcing situations.

About: An animal lover through and through, I grew up around animals from a very young age; owning my own dogs as well as spending every summer of my youth at my godmothers’ farm rounding up cows, turkeys, chickens and yes, farm dogs and cats too. Professionally I’ve been employed as a groomer and a doggy daycare attendant so im well versed in handling dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. With me as your second in care, I can promise your domesticated babies will be well loved and taken care of! After putting my safety before the needs of a corporation that employed me for four years, I’ve found myself with plenty of free time on my hands. If you need someone to keep your pets company, you should reach out! I’ve always made a point to get out and move my body everyday which helps me be prepared to take your pups along for the journey! Overnight house sitting will always come with lots of attention and outdoor time on my part. Dog needs a more relaxing time? Absolutely not a problem. I harbour a natural balance between active and lazy, having no issue with chillin and watching some tv. You can count on me to pay attention and take action if any type of emergency were to arise. Integrity is as important to me as your pets’ safety is to you!

“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my fur baby, Catherine! You really did an excellent job! I am so glad I found Catherine. I am new to Edmonton and don't have any friends or family here. I was so stressed wondering who would take care of my dog!! I was nervous about having a stranger come in to my home and take care of my dog, but Catherine was very friendly, dependable, trustworthy and put me at ease when I saw her interacting with my dog. My baby got the royal treatment while I was away! She was so kind and catered to my spoiled little pup. I think this was a bit of a vacation for him, too lol Catherine was kind enough to bring in my mail for me as well. Thank you so much!! I could not be more pleased you were wonderful ❤”

“Anick gave excellent care to our two cats! We had such peace of mind on our holiday that our cats were getting everything they needed. She took them outside to play in our yard, made sure our youngest got his medication, and sent really thorough updates each day in addition to all the regular duties. Next time we need cat care we will be booking Anick. Thanks again!!”

About: For 16 wonderful years, I cared for my own highly anxious dog who, in her senior years, also became blind and deaf. That experience taught me deep patience, compassion, and how to make even the most sensitive pups feel safe and loved. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs — and I’m here to meet them with care and kindness. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, some cozy company while you’re away, or just extra love and attention, I’ve got it covered. I’m dependable, easy to reach, and treat every furry friend like family. Expect regular updates, happy tails, and total peace of mind. Let’s keep your pup safe, loved, and having the best time—every time we hang out! I work a full-time job during the day, but I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting after 3:30 PM on weekdays and fully available on weekends. Whether your pup needs an evening walk, dinner-time company, or weekend care, I’ve got you covered with plenty of love, patience, and reliable service! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pup in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure environment where they feel safe, loved, and respected. I take time to understand each dog’s unique needs, routines, and personality. From managing anxious pups to senior dogs with special care needs, I handle every situation with patience and attention. I always follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any special instructions you provide — and I’m happy to send regular updates so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. In your home, I’m respectful, tidy, and treat your space the way I’d want mine to be treated. In my home, pets are never left unattended for long, and I make sure they have plenty of space, enrichment, and love. You can trust that your dog is in good hands — safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.

About: I have owned cats, dogs, and exotic pets my whole life. I am no stranger to anxious dogs, pets with strict schedules, or administering medication. Spending time with animals is when I am happiest! I am not currently working so I am available all times for care. I can come early in the morning, late at night, and anything in between! I respect all pets and their own schedules. I am happy to spend all my time playing or snuggling with your dog, or I can keep my distance so they just have some company. Whatever your animal’s needs are always comes first.

About: My family have had dogs my whole life but since moving out alone I do not have any. I have been training dogs since I could walk and miss having furry companions around. I am a student, mostly I am available on weekends or around class times Monday-Thursday. Most of the day I am available, evenings and weekends can always be cleared for a furry friend! I am happy to stick to whatever routine you have with your pets such as if you choose to crate your pets or if they roam free, I will do what works best for them and for you. If you have instructions, I have no problems following them

About: Me and my family raised and breed American Akita’s and other farm and exotic animals back home in Alberta. I also grow up with all kinds of breeds of dogs from small one’s to big breed dogs. I’m personally an active person. So I’ll be taking an proactive approach in your dog and make sure it gets as much activity with me as possible. If your dog likes being lazy, I can hangout with him/her and watch Netflix and give them lots of attention. But most importantly, I’ll give as much love and care as you would for your dog. My schedule is mostly free in the morning and afternoon’s during the weekdays. If you require a certain day, please give notice. Thanks, see you and your dog soon. I’m currently in the process of joining the armed forces and work part-time. Meaning lots of playtime and adventures to play with puppies and dogs. I have a house with a yard and a gate to keep the dogs inside. I’m very attentive with dogs with any special needs and wants.

About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for pets and homes for friends and family. Pet sitting has always come naturally to me — I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal, earning their trust, understanding their routines, and caring for them in a way that feels calm and respectful. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, including cats and dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I love taking dogs for walks, spending quiet time with cats, and providing plenty of affection, comfort, and reassurance while their owners are away. In addition to cats and dogs, I’ve also cared for rabbits (including daily cleaning), fish, reptiles, and even a snake, which involved feeding and maintaining proper care routines. I grew up in the countryside, so I’m familiar with farm life and the responsibility that comes with caring for animals consistently and attentively. When caring for a home, I’m tidy, respectful, and mindful of routines. I understand that pets are family members, and I take pride in providing them with safe, loving, and dependable care so owners can travel with complete peace of mind. I’m currently transitioning into civilian life after retiring from the Canadian military and am studying online, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. This allows me to be present for pets throughout the day, maintain feeding and walking routines, and spend quality time providing companionship, play, and calm supervision. I’m happy to adapt my routine to match your pet’s usual schedule so they feel secure and comfortable. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow all routines and instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if required, and household rules. I keep the home tidy and secure, respect privacy, and ensure pets are supervised, comfortable, and never left in unsafe situations. I believe consistency, calm energy, and attentiveness are key to building trust with both pets and homeowners.

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!

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 💕🐶🐾

FAQs for Dog Sitting - St. Albert

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in St. Albert is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $34 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 1,129 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in St. Albert. About 88% of St. Albert sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.

Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.

For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
