“We cannot say enough great things about Riley, he & his family took the most wonderful care of our boy!! Nitro is a senior dog with some behaviour quirks, health issues & separation anxiety, so I was very anxious about finding the right fit. Riley was so kind, conscientious, & understanding about all of the above. We had consistent updates & photos to know how he was doing, & see him enjoying plenty of walks & quality time. It really put my mind at ease for our first time ever boarding him. Don't hesitate to put your trust in Riley, there's no doubt that we will be repeat clients as well 😊”
“Choosing Jinny to care for our furry family member was the best decision we made! From the moment we met, their genuine love for dogs was evident. Our pup was treated to daily walks, playtime, and even special treats. We received regular updates and photos, which eased our minds while we were away. With Jinny, we found not just a caregiver, but a true companion for our pet. We highly recommend her services to any dog owner seeking top-notch care and peace of mind.”
“Vanessa was great taking care of my little girl for 7 days! She regularly sent photos and videos, keeping me reassured throughout my trip. Communication was easy and quick, and my pup was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her!”
“Kayla and her family were awesome with our two dogs. It was the perfect match for us. We would definitely book again with her. For our first time leaving them in someone else's care it was a great experience. Thank you to Kayla and the Family.”
“I know Scotter had a blast staying with Gordon and Nina, he had other pups to play with which he loves. We were kept updated with pictures and videos. It's so nice to have piece of mind knowing your pup is happy and safe. Next time we need a sitter we hope they are still available!”
“Rufana took wonderful care of our cat Sophie. I was updated daily with photos, videos and comments which showed how quickly Sophie became comfortable and how content and happy she was. Rufana provided excellent care and excellent communication. We would recommend her and will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Sebastian and Brooke were amazing with our anxious little Yorkie. They took such good care of Luci and you could see it in the adorable pictures they sent while we were away. We will definitely be reaching out when we travel again.”
“Robyn and family took such amazing care of our little Marty! He was so happy, loved, and entertained. Robyn’s daily updates provided us with such a perfect snapshot of his day; we loved reading them every evening. Thanks Robyn! :)”
“First sitter to ever invite me in their home. It gave me a sense of peace and trust, as I new where my pup would be staying and the kind of condition. Her Dog was also very welcoming to Hazel. Thank you for taking good care of Hazel.”
“Kayla was absolutely fantastic with our boy, Sonny. She was more than accommodating with some schedule changes and it was really appreciated. She kept us up to date with pictures and I could tell that Sonny was having a great time while we were away. It’s always hard leaving your fur baby with someone new but I knew that we had found the right person with Kayla. Thanks again!!”
“Absolutely amazing experience. Such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Sharla's love of dogs is so evident and she was so accommodating to Ruby's anxiety and helped her settle in really well. She is organized and great at communicating and sending updates. Ruby had a blast and was tuckered right out after. Would definitely recommend Sharla!!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly believe they’re family. I currently have a young Goldendoodle, Benny, so I have hands-on experience with puppies and young dogs, including leash walking, basic commands, recall and crate training. I also cared for my senior dog, Norman, which gave me experience with medications, changing activity needs and the extra patience and attention older dogs deserve. I’m active and love being outdoors, so whether your pup enjoys a relaxed neighbourhood walk or a longer adventure, I’m happy to get them moving! I’ve also completed Canadian Red Cross First Aid for Dogs and Cats for added peace of mind. Most importantly, I’ll care for your dog just as I would my own — with lots of love, attention and safety. Pet care already fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home three days a week and am in the office two days. On office days, I come home at lunch to let Benny out, spend some time with him and give him a break during the day. Evenings and weekends are all about walks, playtime and getting outside, so I have plenty of availability for evening and weekend walks. If your pup is staying with me, they’ll simply become part of our routine — joining Benny for daily walks, playtime, outdoor breaks and plenty of time to relax at home. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pup is safe, happy and well cared for while they’re with me. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for safe outdoor time, and I live in a mature, walkable neighbourhood close to Edmonton’s river valley — perfect for daily walks and adventures. For overnight stays, I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so you, your pup, Benny and I can all get acquainted and make sure everyone is comfortable. While staying with me, your dog will be welcomed into our home and become part of our regular routine. I’ll care for them exactly the way I’d hope someone would care for Benny — with safety, attention and lots of love.
“This was our first experience with Rover. Yvonne took excellent care of our dachshund for the week we were on holidays. We got daily updates with pics. Would definitely book again and recommend her to anyone.”
“Terry and Jacquie were great, Archie was well cared for during his stay with them. Communication with Terry was easy and responsive. We received updates on how Archie was doing and even after we came home, there was follow up to see how Archie was doing. We would definitely love to have Archie stay with them again.”
About: I offer loving and reliable dog-sitting services in the comfort of your home. With years of experience and a genuine passion for dogs, I ensure your furry friends receive personalized care, plenty of exercise, and lots of love. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I tailor my services to meet your dog’s unique needs. Rest assured, your pet will be in safe, caring hands while you’re away. I am available starting at 3:30 PM on weekdays, as well as on weekends. Additionally, if clients live nearby, I have a lunch hour during which I can come by to visit the dog. I’m happy to meet with clients beforehand to get to know your dog’s routine and preferences. This way, we can ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for your furry friend.
About: I grew up with 3 shelties and I have been dog walking and dog sitting for over 10 years for family, friends and neighbours. I have taken puppy classes with 2 of my previous dogs. I currently don’t own a dog, and would love to have a furry friend along with me on walks. I am very active and a runner, and I would be happy to add some jogging in for a high energy pup, but I also enjoy going at a slower pace too! I recently finished my PhD and am currently waiting to start my job in the new year. This means I have a flexible schedule with lots of time to play walk and play with dogs in the meantime! I require a meet and greet beforehand to get to know your dog and make sure they feel comfortable with me. Also to learn their walking routine and if they are comfortable passing by other dogs/kids, or simply if they have a favourite tree they like to sniff.
“This is the second time we have left Cooper with Karen and Dan and just like the first time they were great. Dan took Cooper on long walks each day. Karen also provided regular updates and pics throughout Cooper’s stay. In every way, they continue to reinforce that Cooper is in very good hands and while we miss him greatly we are confident that he is being well cared for. We will definitely use their service’s again.”

If you are looking for a pet sitter who will love your dog as much as you do, look no further than Marilyn! She cared for my dog, Millie, while I was away on vacation and treated her like her absolute own. Thanks to her excellent care and wonderful communication, I had total peace of mind the entire trip. Millie was so happy and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Five stars!
Robyn responded almost instantly to my last minute request for boarding, 2 days before my trip. We did a quick meet and greet the day before and then off she went! Robyn and her family have tons of dog experience and we felt very comfortable leaving our dog there. This was our first time using Rover, so of course there is always doubts, but we are happy we chose this vs a typical kennel. We were provided with daily updates/photos throughout our trip which was nice to see. She got lots of exercise and seemed to settle in. We would definitely recommend Rover and Robyn to any dog parent looking for a loving home and peace of mind.
Brad and his family were so fantastic with our dog, Albie. Albie can be anxious and a bit high stress but Brad was so patient and kind with him. We received lots of updates and photos and Albie got so many walks. Brad was also very communicative and flexible with drop-off/pick-up times. Your pup will be well loved and well cared for with Brad, we will definitely reach out to him again!
This was my first time ever booking a dog sitter through Rover, and the whole process was incredibly easy. Clarsia & Devon were so accommodating, especially on such short notice. They took the time to meet with us beforehand so Cormick could meet the family and make sure it was a good fit for everyone. The communication was excellent, I received plenty of updates and photos while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and would absolutely recommend this family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter.
Debbie and Craig were absolutely amazing! Our dog, Poppy, settled in so nicely with them, and we really appreciated all the updates and photos while we were away. We could really tell her and Craig treated Poppy as if she was their own! She was so spoiled with multiple walks per day and lots of snuggles! We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
This was our first time booking with kirsty to look after our little man. We was a little nervous leaving him, as he is getting older and less active. But kirsty made the nerves disappear. We had a meet and greet where bruce met kirstys lovely doggies and some others who were in boarding at the time. The was very reassuring and hearing how much love kirsty has for all the dogs just made it confirm that this was the perfect place for bruce. Whilst we was away kirsty kept us upto date with lots of photos and comments on what bruce had been upto. This made us so happy and it was lovely to see how settled bruce had become. We would 100% use kirsty again and would 100% recommend. Bruce certainly had a great time as he slept the whole day and night when he was home to recharge his batteries!! Thank you again kirsty!
Adrianna and her partner were AMAZING pet sitters! They helped me out immensely by taking my very last minute daycare and boarding requests. Dax was well taken care of and absolutely had a blast. She looked like she felt right at home! I cannot recommend them enough. Book with Adrianna!
Luna had a wonderful time and Im half convinced she would have liked to stay when we picked her up! She really liked having a playmate for her boarding. I appreciated the updates and the pictures we received to let us know she was enjoying her stay. We would definitely board with Natasha (and family and Dexter!) again.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
