“I never left my dog with anybody other than family before. When I found carolyn in my town , I told her that I was nervous and we met at a park so my dog could meet her and her dog. The meeting put me at ease and I felt very comfortable with my dog's body language and Carolyn's demeanor. She was kind understanding and confident in her abilities to help my dog transition with someone new like her. Carolyn took my dog who has high energy for several walks during the day and sent me pictures to comfort me that my dog settled down in her home. I would gladly recommend Carolyn. Her care for my dog and me was exceptional”
“I would recommend Carina 100%. She looked after our Ruby on a long weekend, sent us pictures of their adventures, and communicated on our return for best drop off time. When we met to pick up Ruby, she was well at home, and completely tired from the weekend walks. I would highly recommend Carina to anyone looking for dog care, she is wonderful!!!”
About: I have been a dog owner for over 20 years. I recently had to let my ole girl pass over the rainbow, such an heartbreaking decision to make. She was happy as the only dog if the house and I had a desire for more happy tails! So I decided to start walking dogs and doing pet visits so that I could fulfill my need for more waggy tails! I do work a local job that runs Monday -Friday, but am done by 3:15. I schedule my walks for 3:15 and after.I do get a 30 min lunch break that I can do washroom breaks for pets if needed. Walks are 30-45 mins. I do have weekends and evenings off, this is where I make the time for pups/cats. I do not tend to bring other dogs to my home, I have done so on occasion but only after my dog has had a chance to meet our new furry visitor. I do dog walks, visits and out door adventures for your pup. I even take some of my 4 legged friends to the back country roads, for that nice open free run!
“She was so lovely and was amazing with Luna. She sent us updates on our girl. Thanks for being patient with our girl and letting her get use to your place and puppers. We were very stress free knowing she was in a safe place.”
“"Five stars for Ginette! Our dog, Cookie, stayed with her for 4 days and had a blast. Ginette was wonderful about sending daily updates so we knew Cookie was happy and settled. It's clear she loves animals and takes her job seriously. Cookie really enjoyed her stay!"”
“Kristin and her family have watched Ocean twice after our initial meet and greet. Ocean is a very shy pup and has a lot of anxiety with people she doesn't know. The first overnight she was very shy and timid at drop off and hid upstairs for a lot of the evening. By night time she was up on the bed to cuddle with Kristin and her husband. When I picked her up the next day she was so comfortable and running about the house. The second time we went she ran right into the house, no fear or anxiety at all. She had a wonderful stay and loves the family and their dogs Jasper and Willow. I am more than happy with our experience with Kristin and the care she provides. I especially appreciate her understanding of Ocean's anxiety and need for space when she's anxious. I would highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again. Ocean and I are truly grateful to have found this service and Kristin. 😊”
“My dog was at Sarah's once for daycare and when we left him for boarding he was super excited to go there. Sarah sent regular updates and left me at ease, knowing he was being well cared for.”
“We left our dog Detective with Sarah for 4 days and she was always updating us with pictures. Detective was so happy and would still react if we mention Leroy and Lucky’s names.”
“As a first time Rover user I was nervous initially to leave Finn and Rey with someone I had just met, but Jenna was absolutely wonderful; she appeared to be very familiar and knowledgeable with dogs and put me at ease immediately. She kept me up to date while the dogs were over with pictures and videos which was super appreciated! I would definitely choose Jenna in the future again!”
“Teaghan was wonderful to chat with leading up to time of drop off - this was just as important for me, as she was genuinely interested in how to keep our dog safe, comfortable and well taken care of. She was even willing to meet before hand to get to meet and greet with our pup as it was our first time using a sitter for our dog. Frequent texts, picture updates and great exercise Completed the care for our dog. I could tell on pick up that our dog wasn’t stressed, nor eager to leave. Would definitely recommend Teaghan for her services and will use her again, myself, for any doggy sitting needs. Great work, keep it up!”
“Laura and John are amazing! They have a beautiful home and a big fenced in yard for your pups to play. They have two beautiful and friendly golden retrievers who were great with our girl. Our pup, Skye, was spoiled in their care and it was very clear that they took her in as if she was one of their own. Laura kept in touch regularly and sent photos of our very happy girl. They took Skye to Gull Lake to swim and play which was above and beyond. Skye made herself right at home with Laura and John! We were incredibly pleased with the care and will definitely be asking Laura and John to watch Skye in the future.”
“I highly recommend Janelle! I went away overnight and leaving my fur baby with her made it completely stress and worry free! My dog has a little bit of health issues and she was so understanding and tended to my dog perfectly! Janelle sent lots of updates and photos, it was great!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t recommend her enough! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Nugget, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She sent regular updates and adorable photos so we always knew he was happy and well cared for. When our flight was unexpectedly delayed until the next day, she was incredibly accommodating. She even brought Nugget home for us and made sure we had arrived safely before continuing with her own travel plans later that day. That level of kindness and dedication meant so much to us. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond for both the pets and their owners. We are so grateful for everything she did and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Nugget again. Thank you so much !!

Absolutely incredible people. They took such good care of Lola, sent me pics and made me feel good about her stay. Wonderful family with their own really great dogs. These folks have lots of experience with pet sitting and you could see and sense their comfort with bringing in dogs into their home. I would highly recommend them! I hope to use them again when I am back in Sylvan. Don’t hesitate to book with these guys, they were honestly great!
Carmen was so great with our pup . As it was only the second time he was with a dog sitter . She met nuggets a couple times before the actual pet sitting and nugget adjusted really well . She very attentive and calm , which is what my 3 lbs chihuahua needed . I will get Carmen again . Recommend Carmen 100%.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sylvan Lake home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Sylvan Lake
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
