“Shea was amazing! She did drop-in visits with our cat while we were out of town and sent very thorough updates with photos. I can’t say enough good things about our experience and will definitely be booking with Shea again.”
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.
“Jenna was so communicative and took great care of our cat over 2 weeks. She went above and beyond and helped out when our cat got into a few situations while we were gone. Would definitely request her pet sitting expertise again!”
“Linda was great! Our two cats were happy guys when we returned home. Linda was a great communicator and sent lots of updates. I’d be happy to have her care for our pets in the future!”
About: I have had pets my entire life, and I have been trusted to take care of family and friends pets for extended periods of time. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs and I am able to administer medications and bathe animals if needed. I can also feed animals a raw diet if required (with instructions). I like to go on 1-2 walks a day, depending on the dog and my schedule. I am currently a full time university student with a part time job, but I am able to pet sit any day of the week! Currently I’m gone during a few days and evenings. but am more free as summer approaches. During my free time I love going on walks, cuddles, some treats and some fun! I follow instructions of care closely so that both the pet and owners are happy with the experience. I personally keep a tidy space and I clean up after the pet as needed.
“This was my first time using Rover and Celeste made this experience so easy and pleasant. She was so nice to my cat and made me completely feel at ease leaving him in her care. I would 10/10 recommend and I will definitely use her again as a pet sitter going forward”
“Joy was great ! She was excellent at communicating and we always got many pictures of the pups. Joy was also very flexible when we had to change the plan a bit. Thank you !!!!!”
“Marylin is an absolutely wonderful human. My dogs Cocoa and Timbit adored her, and she provided professional, quality, loving care. I would 10/10 recommend her and would love to have her help me with the girls again.”
“As always, Paula took excellent care of my senior cat. My cat has health issues which require monitoring and Paula does a great job of keeping me informed. Thank you Paula!”
“Heather was excellent! She came for a meet & greet and was able to follow all care instructions well. She sent me photos and an update, and they seemed happy! I also appreciate her flexibility in coming to care for them on short notice. Thanks so much!”
About: I’ve cared for pets for most of my life and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats of all ages. My first dog, a German Shepherd/Collie mix, was part of my family from the time I was 3 years old until she passed away at 15, giving me experience caring for a dog throughout every stage of her life. Today, I care for two large mixed breed dogs, one Golden Retriever/Husky mix and a Black Lab mix, ages 8 and 7 as well as having experience with several family cats over the years. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, playtime, bathing, brushing, nail trimming, cleaning up after pets, and providing lots of affection and attention. I’m comfortable caring for larger breeds and understand that every pet has their own personality, energy level, and routine. I believe consistency is important, so I always do my best to follow each owner’s instructions to help their pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having somebody nearby to keep them company, I’ll make sure they receive the care, patience, and attention they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet I care for. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet receives the attention and care they need. I'm happy to work with each owner's routine to help keep their pet comfortable and maintain consistency while they're away. I understand how important it is for pets to stick to familiar schedules, and I'll do my best to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I take the time to follow your instructions carefully to help them feel secure and comfortable while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same respect I would my own. I'll keep food, water, walks, medications (if needed), and playtime on schedule, and I'll make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure before taking pets outside. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels cared for until you return home.
About: I have experience with different animals from small dogs to larger breeds > 100lbs I don’t have any pets of my own but I have volunteered at animal shelters walking dogs and giving pets and cuddles to the cats I enjoy walking in the river valley, checking out new neighbourhoods, hiking, and taking advantage of any opportunity to be around animals I am currently working part-time/ casual so my schedule varies but I mostly work evenings and have mornings and weekends off. If there is a stretch of time that will be needed, I can accommodate if sufficient notice is given I would ensure the dog is given a long/short walk depending on needs, letting out to use the bathroom and routine feeding. Lots of play time with balls or toys Cats- I will cuddle or play with your cat(s), feed if needed, clean litter as well
“We had a great first visit and introduction....Isys and Alana got along great and she was very attentive. I'm very relieved to have someone like Alana to come visit Isys when needed. Thank you”

“Sarah has been watching my pup for a few days now and she has been so kind. She repeats my instructions to me in detail so she understands exactly how to care for my pup. We are hoping to be able to keep booking her for the next few months!”
About: After saying goodbye to our 14 year old lab we have a puppy who loves to play. I'm happy to offer pee breaks or play time! I work part-time from home and a stay-at-home mom so between errands and school drop offs I'm free to play with furry friends & tire mine out in the process!! My pets are part of the family and we treat them as such. Your furry friends would be well taken care with me! Pee breaks or playtime, I'm your gal.

Our Charles was getting over a sickness and we weren’t ready to leave him home alone just yet. Paula was willing to meet us 10 minutes before our booking to get them introduced as Charles can be anxious with new people. We saw that he trusted her the second she walked in. We left feeling relieved, knowing he was in good hands. She took such good care of him and I will request her again when we need it. Thanks Paula!
It was so nice to have Kate checking in on our dogs. She send pictures and we got a notification every time she started her visit. You could tell the dogs were very happy and well cared for. Kate were amazing and we can definitely recommend her! Looking forward to use her again in the near future :)
Vita was amazing with my dog Nube. She walked her twice a day, fed her and gave her the medications. I’m very thankful to Vita as I had to do an emergency trip abroad because my father passed away. Vita even shovel the snow. She did check ins with every visit that showed the map where she walked my dog and how many times she peed or poop. I would highly recommend Vita to care for your pets 💕🐶🐾

There are 1,149 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in St. Albert. About 89% 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.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a St. Albert stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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 pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
