“Joy was great ! She was excellent at communicating and we always got many pictures of the pups. Joy was also very flexible when we had to change the plan a bit. Thank you !!!!!”
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: 🌼 When you book with Adri, happy pets and relaxed owners are 100% guaranteed!! 🌼 Feel safe knowing that your pet is being cared for by a tried and true professional in the business. From suckling to senior I have handled, learned about, and enjoyed caring for any and all stages of both canines and felines as well as birds, reptiles, and rodents.I spent three years professionally handling dogs in a boarding and daycare facility. Post graduation from high school I dedicated most of my weeks to volunteering with rescues such as SCARS and AHHRB, being a foster parent to two larger breed dogs at separate times while playing my part in helping them get adopted. 🌼I am certified in both canine and feline CPR/ first aid through Canine Health Canada 🌼 I have special experience with different ability levels as well! Medicated seniors (pills, injections, liquids, etc.), tripods (missing one or more legs), blind or deaf pups, extreme allergies, I’ve dealt and thrived through it all before. 🌼I am currently studying both psychology and sociology at Concordia University in Edmonton and am excited to specialize in comparative psychology in the future. I am currently working part time for the summer so I have plenty of availability for all services! ☀️Boarding and daycare availability is dependent on the dates involved so please never hesitate to reach out! I have a closed off side yard available to me, two wonderful fully fenced off-leash dog parks and multiple outdoor private areas surrounding my vicinity. Wether you’re looking to socialize your pet more, or depend on them being able to relax in their own, all needs can and will be accommodated to my best ability. I have a very friendly and supportive 10 month old mini poodle mix that would be more than happy to keep your pet company, he is quite fortunately excellent with both lower energy and high energy friends. I can also easily crate pets for safety if needed for any reason.

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.
“Madeline was absolutely amazing, my girlfriend was a little hesitant to use rover with leaving our babies lives with a stranger. But wow, this experience was incredible! We are both so happy we went with Madeleine, the detailed notes and pictures gave us such relief knowing they were with her. So so SO grateful :) A plus all around! She was very communicative and helpful with attention to detail, and did everything right (we gave her SO much info to start 😅). Our kitties definitely have a new friend 💗”
“Harleen was fantastic! We had a unique situation, visiting our daughter from our of tiwn. We needed someone to care for our pup while we took our daughter out for dinner. Harleen had super communication before and during her stay with Tashi. We highly recommend Harleen and would absolutely contact again when visiting.”
“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.

“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!”
“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: 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.

I enjoy going for walks greatly and find it more enjoyable when I have a pal to go with.

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 💕🐶🐾

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.

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.

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.
