“My dog Misty is nervous by nature and gets separation anxiety but Jenna is very intuitive as to how Misty is feeling and always manages to calm her. I couldn't ask for a better pet sitter than Jenna.”
About: Have had many animals in our past, such as dogs, cats, fish, and even horses. The backyard is large, and backs onto the St. Albert trail system. Excellent for walking your lovely dog. Also my wife has completed her course as a veterinarian assistant. I am a retired gentleman around home most often. Am also able to travel (within St.Albert and area) to your home to tend to your animals. I have a large fenced in backyard which backs onto to the St. Albert trail system and is perfect for walks.. My wife (at one time) was a trained Animal Health Technologist.
“Maria was great! Millie took to her right away and I have no doubt they will be fast friends. She was kind, punctual and professional. I would recommend her to anyone needing a Rover!”
“Samantha has been an absolute delight! Amazing communication, always provides updates and so great with our little pitty! She is responsible and super eager to help! We will continue to benefit from her services as she does an amazing job!”
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.
“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.”
“Kate was so kind to help us with walking our dogs. It is the 3rd time we booked with her. She is great in communicating and her love and care for our dogs can absolutely be seen in the work that she does! Kate is the best!!”
“We have been looking for a "baby" sitter for a while now, interviewed a couple off of Rovee app, but as SOON as Alana walked in, we both knew she was it. She was so chill, the dogs didn't bark when she came in. She spent over an hour with us, having coffee and getting to know the dogs at our meet n' greet. We primarily reached out to her to dog sit for us to go away. To be sure it was a good fit, I booked a couple of drop in visits and the dogs happily greeted her and went with her on a walk. Both of our dogs have dog aggression, one because of fear and one because of play. She took pictures the whole way through and handled them so well, which was really awesome. Alana is our girl!”
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: 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 grew up with multiple dogs and caring for animals has always been part of my life. I treat every pet like my own - with lots of love, attention and patience. I live alone and genuinely love the company, so your pet will get a calm, cozy environment plus plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddle. You can leave your pet with me and be completely stress-free knowing they’re safe and cared for! I work very part-time so I am mostly home or close to home while caring for your pet! I am very active so I love being outdoors for long walks. I live in a condo and there are plenty of walking trails and parks right outside my door. I love being outside so your pup will get plenty of walks and outdoor time. I live in a safe, spacious condo with plenty of room for your dog to roam.
About: Hello, I’m Ren! I’ve had a soft spot for animals since I was little, and I love taking care of them. I’ve had my own dog (Bindi) for twelve years, and recently adopted two puppies (Jonesy & Astrid) who I care for with enthusiasm. I’ve also had tons of experience pet sitting outside of Rover with many different animals (Large dogs, elderly dogs, puppies, cats, rodents, and farm animals). Animal care is simply one of my passions, and I’m delighted to meet new furry friends! My basic care •🦴food will be given daily following your instructions (preference for food being provided by owners so animals diet stays consistant) •🚶🏻daily long walks •❤️affection, cuddles, scratches, and love! •🛁baths & grooming if needed I have a big soft spot for animals, I greatly enjoy hanging around with my neighborhood cats and giving them all the affection they deserve. I greatly enjoy visiting my family’s farm and seeing my dog Duncan. I treat animals with respect, love, and guidance. Any animal I watch will be treated with proper affection and care! I enjoy going for walks greatly and find it more enjoyable when I have a pal to run with.
“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!”
“Emily is an awesome dog walker! I fully trust her to pick up Zeus and drop him back home safe and sound while I'm at work. When I get home , Zeus is happy and tired, yay!!”
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 but 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!
About: I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for around 12 years minus a short break to travel around Australia. I had a German Shepherd growing up and a German Shorthaired Pointer/Weimaraner mix that we lost in January 2024. I currently have a 13 year old Siberian Husky. I took care of the big dogs that came for daycare while I was at work so I have more experience with them, but I had lots of experience with the small dogs when I first started. I also have experience working with puppies, senior dogs, and every age in between. I have unfortunately recently become allergic to cats so I tend to not handle them much anymore. I can also administer medication if needed. :) I am currently available full time hours, so I have lots of time to spend with your animals to give them some extra love! :) I will follow all instructions for your pets care; Whether that is going out in your backyard/being crated at night/or sleeping in the bed :)

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!!
As always, Samantha is an excellent and reliable dog walker. The pups got their midday exercise and Samantha sent updates and photos. Samantha also gave them the snuffle mats I prepared for them and stayed with them until they were done. When I have booked Samantha, I also feel happy that my dogs are getting the attention they need.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in St. Albert on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,175 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in St. Albert. About 87% 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in St. Albert.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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.
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 walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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!
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 98% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
