Michael & Charlene were great with our dogs for day care. Coming from out of the country, you never know what to expect from strangers, even through Rover. After our meet & greet, we were totally comfortable leaving our kids there. We didn't ask for walks specifically, but our dogs got walks every day, and got to enjoy their beautiful fenced back yard with lush grass and a water feature. On our first morning dropoff, Michael greeted us with a special human treat: delicious homemade muffins! We had to stay out later than we said we would one night, but Michael handled it in stride. Communication was great every step of the way! Looking forward to our next visit to Canada and bringing our dogs to Michael & Charlene's place again!

Riley had so much fun! Vanessa took her on walks and she got to play with her daughters. This was very last minute so I was really happy that Riley ended up spending the day with such a great family!

Our dog Penelope had the most amazing time at Olya’s home. They have a beautiful house with a large yard and lots of space to play! Penelope felt comfortable with the family instantly and was able to relax and have naps. She did not want to leave when it was time to go home! I received tons of photos and videos throughout Penelope’s stay, which helped to put my mind at ease. I would not hesitate to book with Olya.

This was Kuma’s first daycare experience! Amanda was a super great host. Very understanding of the puppy type my dog is and knowing how to cater to it. Kuma was met with other friendly dogs who he had tons of play time with. He surely came out super pooped when we got home! Would highly recommend Amanda as safe and welcoming place to stay for any dog!

Marie has been dog sitting for me for 2 years now. My dog loves going for pawties at her house with his doggy friends. Marie treats my Hercules like he is her own dog. It’s very reassuring to know she is there when I need her. She is very reliable. Out of all the bookings I have had with her (there have been many) she has had to cancel one afternoon doggy sit, as her father was dying and she needed to rush to back to B.C to be at his side. 10/10 would recommend Marie and have recommended her to dog sit for my friends and family

My puppy had a great day and was not anxious at all. I also noticed that Zac’s nails was clipped, one of the few things we are struggling as owners to complete and Joanne did it! So happy for that. Thank you for caring for Zac, greatly appreciate that.

This was my first time using Rover and boy, did Andrea and Bernal make choosing a sitter such a breeze! They answered all of my questions and reassured me that Finn’s wellbeing and easy integration into their home was a priority to them. They also sent videos and updates while he was with them which I appreciated very much! Will definitely be booking with Andrea and Bernal in the future :)

Heather did a great job of looking after my very anxious rescue dog. I’ve tried a few dog sitters and my dog always comes back to me more anxious than before. She is very gentle and has positive dog energy! I highly recommend her.

Jazlynn, Quenton & Lily 🐶 have been PHENOMENAL pup sitters for my baby girl Georgia. Jazlynn & Quenton were respectful and accommodating to my desire for not one but two introductions to their home before Georgia started going for day care on her own. Georgia has spent numerous days with them while I worked day shifts and she has spent a whole week in their home while I travelled out of province. Jazlynn and Quenton are quick to send pictures of their day with Georgia and tell me if anything is out of the ordinary (eating habits, itching, etc.) I can’t say enough great things about this family. I will continue to book with them. Thank you Jazlynn, Quenton, and Lily! 🐶🩷

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.

About: I’ve always lived with a dog, and have experience with every size pup. I have watched friends pups for years as well. We have 2 kids in the house who are more than excited to help out! I work full time away from home, but my spouse works from home, so someone is always around to be with your dog. We are home on weekends, and evenings. I have a fully fenced in yard. If I’m sitting other pets at the time (with approval from both pet owners), we can separate them to give breaks if required, as we have levels in our house to split them apart. Your dog will be walked 1-2 or more times a day, in the morning and evening minimum. If your dog does well off leash, playing fetch in the green field is also an option. We also like to explore Edmonton in the wetlands and enjoy longer walks on weekends.

Amazing couple to have chosen to take care of my dog. I’ve never left him with strangers before so I was a little nervous, but I couldn’t have asked for better people. They kept me updated all day with texts, pictures, videos. They took him in their yard to play, out for walks, and treated him like their own. Wonderful people to trust with your furbabies

About: I’ve taken care of many cats and dogs over the past 10 years. Dogs have ranged from puppies to older aged dogs. I have owned and cared for many cats over the years as well. Because of my years of experience with animals I know the kind of care and attention they need very well. I have an enormous love for all animals and will make sure your pets are loved, welcomed, and comfortable in my home. I am a stay at home mom and I work just a few hours a week from home. I have lots of free time to spend with your beloved pets at home and give them all the care they need during the days. I have a newer built 2300 sq ft home where there’s lots of space for your pup to roam around. Also a spacious yard that’s fully fenced for them to run freely and many walking paths in the neighbourhood for enjoyable walks. It is myself, my 4 year old daughter, and our cat at home. My daughter is well behaved and absolutely loves all animals and will help give them lots of extra attention and play time. My cat is friendly and easy going. He has lived with other cats and dogs previously in our home and did very well with them. My home is clean, well kept, and smoke free. I’m sure your fur babies will love their time spent there!

Ana is a complete lifesaver. We had major renovations start in our home earlier than expected and my dog is 14 years old this month. No way I could leave hom at home with strangers making sounds at all hours of the day! She was able to take him in last minute, and provided many updates, photos, and videos throughout the day. Honestly, he is so excited to go he screams when he knows we are almost there. She takes better care of him that I probably do. I highly recommend Ana. She is really nice, takes great care of animals, and clearly loves them. Even my old mop of a boy.

About: I have been taking care of pets since i was 15. I moved to Australia in 2017 for my tertiary education where dog sittings and pet onboarding was my job as a student. My parents are dog trainers back home and i have been working with them since i was a kid My husband Narv and i are both working from home and our schedule is pretty flexible which provides us with the best opportunities to be with our pets. We reside at kinglet garden with a 1-minute walk leading to the big community park. We take small, medium and large-sized dogs under as we find they are the best fit for our lifestyle. Our dog, Pumba, a Pomeranian loves to play, nap, cuddle and make new friends. So we decided to become hosts! Our love for dogs makes this a lot of fun. Since we both work from home, we have plenty of free time to walk your pet and spend time playing with them and enjoying their company at home. Since we both have flexible schedule and we work from home, so your pet will have 24/7 care and supervision. Pumba roams the house and is allowed on our furniture, as your dog would be. At night or when we go out, our dog enjoyed sleeping in her bed or crate so there are no problems while unsupervised. Your pup will have free range of the entire first floor; kitchen, sitting room, and TV area! We will treat them like our own with lots of love and attention. You can have a fun and relaxing vacation knowing your pet is well taken care of. You'll receive lots of pics and videos with updates to ease your mind while away. Please don't hesitate to contact us with questions and any additional information that we haven't provided. We look forward to meeting you and your pet.

Very accommodating. Marilyn was very understanding of my concerns about my dog’s separation anxiety as he hasn’t been left alone with anyone but family before . She was very supportive and my dog settled in with Marilyn and cuddled up with her and eventually fell asleep on her lap . I would recommend Marilyn and would rebook with her again 🩷

Olya was wonderful with our 1-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel during her first daycare visit. It was such a relief to know she was in caring hands on a difficult day while we attended a funeral. We loved seeing her in a warm, lively home with children and other pets. Our puppy came home content and relaxed, and we really appreciated Olya's kindness and care. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - St. Albert

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in St. Albert on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 391 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in St. Albert. About 90% 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.

Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:

  • Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
  • Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
  • Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
  • Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
  • Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible

Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.

Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your St. Albert commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.

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.

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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in AB ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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.
