“Olya went above and beyond to take care of our doggie, Hamish. She even tried feeding Hamish home cooked chicken breast without any spice or seasoning to get him to eat since he wasn’t eating any of his kibble. Hamish took to her and her beautiful family in no time. Olya truly has a way with dogs and it reassured us that Hamish was in safe hands. Definitely would recommend Olya for your dog sitting needs. Thanks so much Olya & family. We are very grateful!”
“Thank you Robyn and family. ( Robyn fit us in last minute ). Huxley had a wonderful time staying with you for the day. He came home happy, tired and very relaxed. Always great signs. 😊”
“Stella had such a wonderful time with Vivianna and her pups. I got pictures throughout the day of Stella outside playing, and going for a walk. I highly recommend Vivianna she clearly loves dogs!!”
“My dog really enjoyed his time with Heather. She made sure Toby was looked after and even made some treats for him. My dog is a handful but she was patient and very attentive. It was already a hit for my dog and I am glad it was a successful meet and greet experience.”
“Shalet is so kind and reassuring. I really appreciated all the photos and updates she sent throughout the day to keep me informed. Thank you as well for all the delicious treats and meals you spoiled my dog with! He had an amazing time and will definitely miss his new dog friends. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Shalet again!”
“Our dog Ollie seemed to be super happy when we picked him up! They made sure to ask for any instructions for our dog and had plenty of space to separate Ollie from another dog they were watching. They let Ollie outside several times which he loves and they were great people to contact they answered right away and were friendly! I would definitely book with them again!”
“It’s been a few visits now for day care, and my dog has come to love this place. They have taken such great care of him, you can tell he’s well taken care of. My dog has an anxiety, caused by previous years in a kennel. Now he’s seems a lot calmer, but the real test will come for when he will be staying overnight.”
“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.”
“My boy Leif had a great time with Jodeen. He can be sensitive, but Jodeen's kindness and genuine love of dogs put him at ease almost instantly. We will definitely be going back for more dog sitting in the future. So glad to have met you Jodeen!”
“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.”
“We knew the second we walked in, Lynette was our person. Her home was spotless, Jazzy ran in like she owned the place, and Lynette beamed with love and affection for our girl immediately. Jazzy jumped into her arms and gave kisses like she's known her forever. If you're looking for someone that truly loves your dog like her own, keeps them safe, and creates an atmosphere we all want to be a part of.....then Lynette is your person too! Thank you for loving Jazzy ♥️”
“This was Pandas second visit and she was beyond excited when we got there! Once again we picked up a calm Panda which would not have been the case if she stayed home alone!”
“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!”
About: I’m known as the go to dog sitter among my friends and coworkers! I love having another personality around the house and my two dogs love it too! My dogs are westie and a blue heeler, so I have some experience with working and high energy breeds! We have tons of walking paths around, river access and a dog park nearby. I’m confident with crates/kennels and giving meds. I have quite a bit of free time and when I do work, I can stop at home for an extra potty break mid shift to make sure all is well My own dogs are crate trained and I prioritize some on and off leash time daily. My boys love frisbee and fetch in the fully fenced back yard and we make time for a few dogsports too!Both are super social with other dogs, we have many adventures camping and meeting with friends.
“I would surely recommend Jeremy for dog sitting. He constantly provide updates and photos that gives me so much comfort and joy that my georgina is being well taken cared of. Upon picking up my dog, i can see that she is happy and very comfortable with Jeremy. This is absolutely a good sign that my dog had a great time at his place. Will surely re-book with Jeremy soon!”
“Christine was great, I had my puppy Tofu in doggy daycare with her for a few days & she provided updates throughout the day & my pupper never wanted to leave her puppy Winnie at the end of the day! I would highly recommend!!”
“Thank you so much for looking after our little pup. She was very happy to be in your home. We appreciated the updates, and the photos. Your communication was top-notch. Loki was sound asleep when we picked her up so obviously she was comfortable in your home. Thank you again.”

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!
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!

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.
