“My dog had the best week long vacation at Sarah’s! Her dogs are so friendly and she has an amazing place for dogs to run around and play. Sarah is very personable and communicative. I am so glad to have found a place I feel confident leaving my dog when I go out of town. Nothing but positive things to say about Sarah and her place!”
“I am sooooo happy to have found Denise! I have never used a rover before and would go to great lengths to find care for my dog that I felt comfortable with and it’s just a nice feeling to have found someone reliable who my dog loves and I feel happy knowing she’s having a blast when I’m gone. When I dropped my dog off on the last stay, she was soooo happy to see Denise, it definitely reassured me that I’m dropping her off at a safe and happy place :)”
“Kristin was great! She updated me everyday with photos and how our dog was doing, I highly recommend her! Great communication and fast responses, and very flexible on pick up times. We really appreciate her.”
“Wonderfully welcoming lady and gracious hostess to our dog for an overnight boarding. Our dog had her home and fenced yard to himself with no other pets in the house, with many walks to a nearby park. Darlene kept us well informed on how our boy was doing, and he was comfortable with her immediately. A great communicator and we feel so fortunate to have found this loving atmosphere in which to board our pet with. HIGHLY Recommend booking with Darlene and we look forward to doing so again!”
“Dougie had a great time at Carina’s .He got pretty spoiled !!! Carina was very accommodating, as our dog has diabetes , she took him on small walks and let him go at his own pace .Loved that she sent videos of their excursions.He certainly was well cared for .I would highly recommend Carina ❤️”
“Ginette was incredible with our dog Zeus. She was attentive and went above and beyond to take care of him. He had some separation anxiety and she took extra measures to make sure he ate and drank water. She also sent plenty of pictures and responded to any questions I had very promptly. I would highly recommend Ginette to take care of your fur babies anyday and we'll be booking with her again.”
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!
“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.”
“Janelle took the time to get to know our dog and helped her feel comfortable and safe from the start. She was very attentive and kept us updated throughout the stay, sending photos and letting us know how our dog was doing. It gave us great peace of mind knowing that she was being so well cared for. Janelle kept us informed of every detail, and we truly appreciated her kindness and dedication. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of her!”
“Laura and John took great care of our Jojo and they even took her in on short notice. We have taken her there twice now and both times she had a blast. Even got a bath after digging in the dirt the first time. We will definitely be back. Thanks again for taking Jojo in onsuch short notice.”
“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!”
About: I have experience with every kind of dog you can name. Experienced in giving needles and oral medication, following detailed instructions and enjoying every quirk your pet has. Whatever they need, I can handle it. Take a break, you deserve it! Pet care is my full time job, send me the dates and times you’d like and we can make it work. Talk to you soon!

About: I have over 20 years of experience loving and caring for pets. My journey started with cats, and eventually led to my beloved Basset Hound, Carlos. Sadly, Carlos passed away in 2024 after a short battle with cancer. I deeply miss having animals around, and I am so ready to open my heart and home to your furry family members! If Carlos were here, she would tell you that she was completely spoiled with endless cuddles, treats, and multiple walks a day…and that is exactly the kind of five-star treatment your pet will receive. If you are looking for a true home away from home where your pet will be safe, loved, and thoroughly pampered, I am your sitter! Since I’m home all day and all week long, your pet will enjoy constant company and endless attention. Our days are anchored by two structured outings: a refreshing morning walk to kick off the day, and an evening "finisher" walk after dinner to wind down.In between, your furry family member will get frequent potty breaks, backyard playtime, and plenty of couch cuddles while I keep them company full-time. Because I am home full-time, I offer constant supervision and actively avoid stressful encounters or triggers—both inside the home and out on walks. My household includes my two mature teenagers who have grown up around animals and love having them around. To ensure a safe, calm, and happy environment for everyone, I am best suited for dogs that are friendly, non-aggressive, and comfortable around older kids.
“Shelley and Rod were amazing with our Lola, she as truly welcomed in like one of the family. They have a wonderful home and property that is VERY dog friendly and our Lola loved her stay with them and she made lots of new furry friends. Lots of love and care was shown for our furry family member while we were away. A+++ thank you again so much for watching her for us :)”

“First time to use this service, Cheree was great on keeping in contact and sending pics, and the kids and my Enzo had a great time together. I really appreciated the updates and pics as I was a nervous mama leaving her Velcro dog. Very happy that he was well cared for!”
About: I grew up on an acreage with dogs, cats, as well as horses! I am currently in distance-learning college and do not have any pets of my own anymore, but miss them so much. I’m very comfortable around animals and would love to have them be apart of my life again. My experience includes care for dogs from the puppy to senior ages. I apologize for the lack of photos with pets, I haven’t had any pets since I moved out on my own in 2021, plus I’m playing with them, not taking selfies ;) I am in college for nutrition counselling. My schedule is Monday to Friday 10am to 2pm, with 2 breaks, allowing ample time to care for your pet! We have a fenced back yard as well as lots of walking trails right out our front door for plenty of walks. I am able to crate your pet if needed. I intend to treat your pet as if they were my own, with endless love, attention, and the upmost care. I am able to follow your pets normal feeding schedule,
About: Like many others, I have been blessed with having the ability to care for animals throughout my life. In 2015, I had the wonderful opportunity to follow my passion professionally. I began working in a veterinarian clinic as a receptionist, technician assistant and external boarding for cats. After the adoption of our beloved Trixie in 2018, my focus shifted to behavior training while continuing care within the small animal medical atmosphere. Recently, I became certified as a professional pet dog trainer and specialized in aggression/reactivity/seperation anxiety. I continue my education through conferences/mentor sessions and am working towards becoming CCPDT certified. I am also an enrichment scent work instructor. I also have my Canine First Aid certification. If you are looking for someone to care for your companion, and would like to add any of the services that are mentioned above during their time with me (or at another time), I would love to get to know you and your companion. I am currently a stay at home mom and provide individualized training consultations as well as general pet care during early mornings and evenings during the week (including weekends). I offer limited care (1 or 2 dogs at a time) in my own home during the day if need be. My only requirements are that your companion not have prey drive (I do have cats and young children) and are good with another female adult dog. I have a large fenced in yard, and can accommodate your specific instructions/requirements as much as possible. Your companion will always be supervised and never left unattended.
About: I have experience with dogs and animals of all kinds and sizes. Here is a list for your reference. 12 year old Rottweiler. 2 year old black lab. 9 year old chihuahua. 5-10 year old Jack Russell. 5 year old Husky. 8 year old Saint Bernard. Fostered two 8 week old labs for saving grace. As well as grew up with yellow and golden labs from puppy till they passed 😢 Both my neighbours have dogs on each side of the fence and for that reason I am asking for well behaved animals as I don’t want to upset my neighbour's lives. I am an animal lover and enjoy playing catch as well as going for walks. I have one animal in my home, his name is tink and he is a 4 year old male neutered cat. I work part time and am a single mom that is usually available on short notice, as long as i do not have a prior commitment. We are a family of 3, myself and my two sons, ages 9 and 10. We have a small fenced yard and live in a townhouse complex.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 !!
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
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.
