“Derlene is amazing. We had her for a home sitting. All of our dogs loved her. She sent us pictures of them while we were away. She was very friendly, personable and easy to communicate with while we were away. Our house was spotless with freshly washed sheets and made bed when we got home. We were so happy with her that we've booked her again. Thank you Derlene.”
“Kendra was awesome to deal with. She was responsive, punctual and very kind - she took such great care of our fur babies. She checked in and sent pictures to put our minds at ease. We highly recommend Kendra!”
About: I have had pets all my life and fostered so many too! I truly love them all! Im dedicating my days/evenings to loving your fur family as much as I love mine! I'm available for regular drop in visits and walks between 9:00 am - 4:00 pm, Monday to Sunday and can custom evening visits. We can discuss and customize the pet care you need. I recently opened up for cat and boarding in your home. Dog care in my home or yours, will be discussed with you. You know what your furball needs and I will make our time providing the enrichment they need. Cat Care in my home would be in my cat room. Their enrichment would include a morning wakeup, several visits through the day and tucked in at night. The room is set up with 2 cat trees, access to a secure catio(monitored with a camera) when weather permits. You would bring their favourite bed, toys, litterbox and food. I have recently opened to boarding in my home or your home. I have Cats so if boarding in my home, your pup or cat has to get along with other cats. I do have a separate Cat room where more shy Cats can stay. There is a catio attached to my Cat room, while the weather is nice, your cat can enjoy the catio.
About: As a veterinarian from Brazil, I have several years of experience caring for animals, including dogs and cats. My veterinary background has taught me to recognize their needs, handle them safely, and provide attentive, compassionate care. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐾 I currently work as an assistant at a small animal veterinary clinic, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. My work schedule can vary from week to week, but I do my best to plan ahead and make sure I can give every pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable and maintain their routine while their owners are away. My veterinary background also helps me recognize when something might be wrong, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being I provide loving, attentive care while respecting each pet’s individual needs and routine. In my clients’ homes, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, following their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from their owners. I love giving them attention, affection, and companionship while keeping their space clean and tidy
About: I love being around dogs more than anything. My favourite thing is being out in nature with my dogs walking or hiking. My dog is very well behaved and will welcome your pup eagerly in your home. I have taken some limited puppy classes. I am confident that if you put your trust in me to take care if your pup you will not be disappointed; and even will become a repeat client!! I look forward to talking to you and meeting your furry friend very soon! Cheers
“Nathaniel watched my dogs at my home for a week while I was gone on vacation. He was the best house/ dog sitter I've had. Very responsive and took care of my house and 2 large dogs while I was gone. He went above and beyond...”
“Naomi's love of animals is very evident in her interaction with our pets. They love her too! Her photo updates were very appreciated. Our home was cared for as well. We look forward to having Naomi dog/house sit in the future.”
“Ellie and I are so grateful to have Samana in our lives! I can always rely on Samana to take such good care of Ellie when I can’t be home. They always have such fun together, and I always arrive home to a happy pup!”
“It was my first time working with a sitter for my 12 year Dachshund and I didn’t know what to expect and only hoped that it would be the most suitable option for her. Robyn has proved herself to be wonderful with my dog and a great person to care for her. My dog warmed up to Robyn the first time they met, which doesn’t happen often. Robyn listened to and took note of my concerns and cautions to take for my dog to prevent any dietary and spinal issues she is sensitive to. When I came home after 5 days my dog was happy and very calm. Robyn is trustworthy and responsible. I will have her for my dog again any time I need to go away and she is available.”
“First time using a pet sitter and Shane made the process easy. They were punctual, reliable, kind and a respectful house sitter. Corina was relaxed and happy when we returned. Would hire again.”
“Alex dog/house sat for us for two weeks. He was very communicative and friendly and provided regular updates and pictures. Our dog loved him. There were zero issues and he left our house very tidy! We are very happy with Alex's services and would definitely book him again!”
“Amber did a great job of looking after our dog. Who has limited mobility and a routine of meds. She sent us pictures of their time together. Also sent texts letting us know how things were going. Would definitely book again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes breeds and personalities my whole life. I am comfortable and confident caring for dogs that are small, large, shy, social young or old. For the past two years, I have volunteered as an advanced dog walker with Edmonton Humane Society, where I have received hands-on training with their expert Behaviour Team. I’m currently completing an online diploma, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I’m available for pet care throughout the week and on weekends morning afternoon or evening. Since my studies are self-paced I am able to easily prioritize your pets needs and give them attention time and care they deserve whenever it’s needed. While I don’t host pets in my own home, I have plenty of experience, caring for pets in their own space and staying at clients homes. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure in a familiar environment so I always do my best to maintain the usual routine Whether it’s drop visits or overnight stays I treat your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect
“Aggie provided wonderful personalized care to each of my animals, making sure they felt comfortable, loved, and kept right on their regular routines. Receiving regular updates and photos throughout her stay gave me total peace of mind while I was away. On top of taking incredible care of the animals, she left the house in pristine condition—immaculately clean, tidy, and respected. It was such a gift to return home to happy, relaxed pets and a spotless house. I would recommend Aggie without reservation to anyone looking for a top-tier house and pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stony Plain
Daniella was absolutely amazing looking after my fur babies. I had a wonderful experience! She looked after my puppies in my home for the weekend, and when I came back, they were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. My house was exactly as I left it—it was like no one had even been there. She was also incredibly responsive while I was away, answering my messages quickly and keeping me updated on how my puppies were doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and respectful pet sitter. Thank you so much Daniella!
Laura went above an beyond what we were expecting ! She was so good to our dogs, they got walked, play, and lots of snuggles. Even our shy cat came out for her and got some cuddling. We are so grateful to her for taking care of them while we had a holiday. Our flight was even delayed unexpectedly and she was able to stay and check in on them to ensure they got their feedings. She gave us peace of mind and we highly recommend. Great communication as well. Thank you!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Stony Plain maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Stony Plain walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Stony Plain 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
