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.
“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: 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: 30+ yrs experience, I love animals and I have a lot of love to give. I’m flexible and will try and accommodate all needs 💕 I have a full time job but would spend all extra time caring for your pet. I’m a homebody with a love for animals 💕 Pets will be taken care of morning and night. Weekends all day and kept close to their regular routine as possible. Extra love is free
“We had a fantastic experience with Samana. Our dog loves her and enjoyed going for walks with her. Samana is so friendly and accommodating, and she was extremely punctual and sent us lots of picture and videos from her walks with Ollie. She’s a very responsive communicator and we felt very comfortable with her taking care of our fur baby. We will definitely be re-booking with Samana!”
About: I have been taking care of our puppy for 7 years and volunteering for an animal shelter for half a year now. From providing nurturing and attentive care to dogs of all sizes. From energetic puppies to senior pets, I ensure that each one feels loved, safe, and happy. My approach is personalized, focusing on the unique needs of every pet. Whether it's playtime, walks, or special dietary requirements, your dog will be in good hands with me! I'm a full-time university student without a part-time job, so I can spend at least 4 hours a day to take care of the kids. I ensure flexibility to meet your babies' needs, whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or playtime. Weekends are fully open for more extended care. In my home, fur babies enjoy a safe, secure environment with plenty of space to play and rest. I prioritize safety, following any specific care instructions to ensure they feel comfortable and at ease. If caring for them in their homes, I maintain a calm, clean atmosphere, respecting both the babies' routine and the owner’s space.
About: Experienced dog walker and doggy daycare manager! Relocated from Toronto where I was a dog walker/doggy daycare manager for three years! I’ve also worked in shelters, at farms and veterinary clinics since I was 8 years old! Pet care is all I do and what I love doing most in the world! On/off leash pack walks, in (my) home boarding, and daycare!☺️ Fully fenced back yard, multiple rooms for a safe environment, double clips and chew proof leashes for transportation, slow introductions to new friends, fully insured and bonded.
About: 𐂯 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 on payment schedules and can offer something akin to slide-scale pricing if needed!* I understand struggling to afford pet care, so please don't hesitate to reach out regarding pricing. ** *(min. $16/walk + $9/hr + $7/additional dog || max. see pricing on profile!) ** (Please note that distance may affect my ability to accommodate. If more than 20km+ away, $5-$10 travelling fee may occur until (or if) gas price drop). 𐂯 I 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 for holidays*** 𝐚𝐧𝐝 for additional care if you become a reoccurring booking.😊 ***(discounted holidays if *not* on lowest sliding scale pricing) 𐂯 I’m looking for more morning walk bookings and later afternoon drop ins/walks! :) Please see below for more in-depth scheduling information! 𐂯 I especially love senior dogs and can manage their specific health and behavioural needs with ease. :) 𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐅𝐎𝐑 $𝟐𝟎 𝐓𝐎𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: https://www.rover.com/sit/shanec60411 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐌𝐄: I'm a university student with a chronic illness and a great love for dogs - Rover has definitely given me the flexibility that school and my illness requires, while giving me an excuse to hang out with more dogs! ૮⍝• ᴥ •⍝ა My soul dog, Ash, and I are basically Toothless and Hiccup. We've been attached at the hip ever since I got him at 10 years old. At 12.5 years, I take great lengths to keep my best friend as lively and healthy as I can. Although his body isn't what it used to be, his spirit seems to get livelier by the day! I can give all the credit to Ash for teaching me my dog knowledge (and I'm sure he would say the same for his human knowledge lol). While I consider Ash my brother, Dart is definitely my kiddo. I had adopted him mid-2025 so Ash could have more incentive to run around. He was 9.5 years and so so so incredibly anxious. He's just turned 11 this past September and I can say that it's truly been a privilege to not only watch him bloom into the sweet boy he is today, but also to have grow with him. (He's also definitely put a lot of my dog first aid training to use... if you have a pointer/bird dog, you'll know exactly what I mean 🤦♂️). 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄: I've worked professionally with dogs since the age of 18! My first long-term job was at a dog-daycare. I absolutely loved it. I'd typically be tasked to handle dogs with special needs, whether that be behavioural or medical. I find that dogs also tend to connect with me but that may be akin to my understanding of dog language and the possible my under-scent reeking of my two dogs haha. If a dog is struggling to warm up to me, I am very patient and become extra attentive to their body language to ensure I always respect their boundaries. On the other end, I have no fears meeting and handling more reactive dogs (within reason. ex, no one should be expecting walks at rush hour with a very aggression-prone dog). I’m best available for walk/drop-ins during weekday mornings before 10:30am and MWF after 2pm. However, if you need care outside of these hours, I am more than happy to see if we can schedule visits that work for both of us! If you need housesitting, I'm typically best available for shorter stays unless it's a long weekend or during an extended school break (ex. reading week). 𝐇𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫, I understand how busy life can get, especially when unexpected hurdles come your way. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you require last-minute or one-time walk/drop-in services. Again, I'd be more than happy to try and work scheduling out. I’m very respectful of others spaces and will be able to recognize and learn the routines of your pup pretty quick! Special instructions are always welcome! I want to replicate their regular routine as much as possible to cause the least amount of stress. :) I take the time to understand each pet’s boundaries and build trust at their pace. I strive to create a safe, comforting environment through soft tones, words, and actions, and most importantly: patience.
About: I’m a university student studying therapeutic recreation with a passion for physical activity. My main goal as a pet care provider is to provide the best care possible to your furry family member & keep your mind at ease while you’re away. I’m a physically active person who loves to go for long walks or runs with a great dog by my side, but I also will just as happily laze about with the less energetic pets! I’m always down for some snuggles with a 4-legged friend and I can assure you, I’ve had no negative reviews on my belly rubs. 😜 I believe that pets get as much joy from our company as we do from theirs! So I would love to be that joy for them. Thanks for checking out my profile, I hope to meet you & get to spend some fun quality time with your pets! In the summers I work part time at a golf course & am in university during the fall! My program is online so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I offer my sitting services in clients homes as I find it to be the least stressful option for pets! They get to stay in their own environments and keep their same routines. I will follow the same routine you complete daily with your pets to ensure that you have peace of mind while you are away!
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
“The walk went so amazing! We really love Alyssa she’s been so patient with our nervous dogs and appreciate all the effort she’s been putting in to get to know them! 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗”
“Emily has been an awesome sitter for our dog Epi and cat Pepper. Epi is incredibly timid and fearful which sometimes comes across as scary. Emily has practiced a lot of patience to get to know Epi better and continued to persevere. Emily went above and beyond to find the best strategies to bond with Epi. Emily and Epi are now able to go for long walks and plays together and we are so thankful to have her looking after our fur children. Thank you Emily!”
“Janessa was very accommodating for anything I needed with my dog Blais. She walked her two times a day and even helped with her treatments for her osteoarthritis. Janessa came over for a meet and greet first and Blais instantly adored her! I will definitely hire Janessa for her services again in the future!”
“Cari was fantastic with my dog. She was to knowledgeable and patient with him. She was punctual and reliable; stopped in once a day for five days straight to give him companionship and exercise. 12/10 would recommend.”

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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in St. Albert is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 1,152 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in St. Albert. About 84% 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.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in St. Albert. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in St. Albert after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in St. Albert with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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.
walkers 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 walker.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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!
