“Jenna was so accommodating and let me know she was able to walk Levi last minute. She was a huge help for us! We got pictures and a note on how he did during the walk, it was great. He seemed very happy and tired out when done with his long walk, just what he needed. Will definitely book with Jenna again!”

About: I am an all-around animal lover who has cared for many different animals over the years, including reptiles, dogs, and cats, of different backgrounds, breeds, and sizes. I’m comfortable with animals of all and energy levels. Since I am a runner, I’m happy to offer higher-energy dogs a fast-paced walk/jog for some extra exercise! :) I am an online university student, studying at home gives me plenty of time to keep pets company, play with them, and take them for walks! I sometimes work evening shifts that are 4-6 hours in length. :) I require a meet and greet beforehand to get to know your pet, learn their routine, discuss care instructions, and to make sure they feel comfortable with me!
“Sarah has been so great handling our 3 big dogs and accommodating last minute requests. It’s such a relief having someone trustworthy to get our dogs out of the house on busy days.”
“I have an 80lb reactive dog and have been nervous in the past when setting up dog care while I'm working. Sarah-Beth has made this an easy transition and earned mine and my dog's trust immediately. I have zero concern when she takes her for walks or interacts with her at all. 11/10 would recommend.”

“Chelsea was great! She was very quick to respond and her communication while I was away was fantastic. I knew Miles was well taken care of with her. She’s very professional and I will continue to use her services!”

About: I am a dog mom to my little westie Mika and I’ll assure you that I’ll provide the same attentive care and compassion that I’d give to my little one. I love interacting with pets and I currently volunteer at an animal shelter. I’ll put your pet’s safety and needs first while ensuring they have an enjoyable and comfortable experience. I’ll keep you up to date with how the drop-in visit or dog walking went. Please let me know of any special needs and allergies that your dog may have. I look forward to meeting your lovely pets! I work day shifts or evening shifts sometimes so I will update my calendar often to show my current availabilities as my work schedule/shifts are not the same every month. I have one friendly 4 year-old dog and I take my dog to multiple walks especially on my days off and provide lots of love, cuddles, and play time. I pay attention to the food I give because of my dog’s allergies. Lastly, I make sure that my dog is also well fed and hydrated especially during long walks.
About: Friends and family have trusted me to pet sit their animals in their homes for many years. I have owned both cats and dogs since I was born and am an experienced animal lover. I have been trusted to give medications, feed, play, and walk dogs of all shapes and sizes. I worked as a Veterinary Assistant for several months, and am comfortable handling all types of cats and dogs. I used to volunteer at the SPCA and l love to be a safe space for all animals. I also am a foster for GEARS when I have the time and space. I am currently working full-time, but I am available for house sitting. On weekdays, your dog(s) would need to be comfortable being left alone for 4-8 hours. However, on weekends, I am fully available to spend time with your pets. I can also do drop-in visits in the mornings or evenings during the week and anytime on weekends, including dog walking. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets, whether in my home or my client's home. For indoor activities, I provide toys and engage pets in playtime to keep them mentally stimulated. I also make sure they have cozy spaces to rest. I always maintain open communication with pet owners regarding your pet's well-being. When caring for pets in a client's home, I will adhere to their established routines to minimize stress. I ensure that feeding, exercise, and playtime are consistent with what they are used to. I respect the pet owner's house rules and preferences, and I will always leave your home clean and secure. I understand that every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to meet their individual needs, whether it's specific dietary requirements, medical needs, or just extra cuddles and attention. My goal is to provide a loving and attentive environment where pets feel happy and safe.
About: I’ve cared for dogs across a good range of sizes and breeds — small dogs growing up, then medium and large breeds of my own as an adult, plus years of sitting for friends’ dogs along the way. That’s what made me the sitter my friends called first, and it’s the same care I bring to every walk and drop-in now. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs, moving at their pace, but love dogs of all ages :) I currently work part time, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the week. That flexibility means I can build pet care around your dog's schedule rather than squeezing visits into a rigid routine, so you get consistent, reliable timing for whatever service you book. Since I offer walks and drop-in visits rather than boarding, all care happens at your home and in your neighborhood. During a visit, I check in on your dog, refresh water if needed, and keep them leashed and secure for the walk or bathroom break. Before I leave, I double-check that doors and gates are locked exactly as I found them. I also follow your instructions closely — whether it’s a specific routine, feeding schedule, or how to handle your dog in certain situations — so both you and your dog feel safe and comfortable with me in your home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - St. Albert
Dylan C was excellent , my dogs liked Dylan when they had a meet and greet in the afternoon. On the 3rd booking day we were home early and Dylan came over and briskly walked Harley anyway, even though we were home. We appreciated that because we were tired from the long drive we had. Thank You Dylan, when we need to book a dog walker again we will be hiring Dylan.
Jenna was so accommodating and let me know she was able to walk Levi last minute. She was a huge help for us! We got pictures and a note on how he did during the walk, it was great. He seemed very happy and tired out when done with his long walk, just what he needed. Will definitely book with Jenna again!
Michelle was amazing! She could help us with walking our two dogs on a very short notice while being away for the weekend. She stop by beforehand for a quick meet-and-greet. I loved receiving her feedback and pics after each walk. Our dogs loved her from the moment they met! Thank you so much!!
Charly did a great job walking my boy Goose. He really liked her and I appreciate that she took several photos on their walks and let me know how he behaved during the walk. I also really appreciate that she was able to take such a last minute request! I’ll definitely look to book Charly again whenever I need services and would recommend her to anyone.
