This was my first time using Rover and I was super nervous because obviously my dog is my baby. I'm so grateful and impressed with Tracy and her going above and beyond to make sure my little guy is comfortable. Even down to sitting and having breakfast with him so he will eat his food ♥️ I would absolutely use Tracy again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much for giving me peace of mind so I could fully be present in my course and knowing that my dog was properly taken care of and was ok♥️

About: About Me My name is Miranda, and I have over 20 years of professional experience working with dogs of many breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My background includes working with rescue dogs from a wide range of situations, with a strong focus on rehabilitation and behavior support. I previously worked as a Canine Behavioural Analyst with the Hamilton–Burlington SPCA, where I was responsible for assessing dogs and determining the most suitable home environment for each individual animal. This experience has given me a strong foundation in understanding canine behavior, stress signals, and individual care needs. I am happy to answer any questions and provide further details. Please feel free to reach out by message or phone. Home Environment Children live in the home and are respectful, calm, and experienced around animals. All interactions with pets are closely supervised, and rough or inappropriate behavior toward animals is not permitted. Maintaining a safe, calm environment for every pet in our care is a top priority. How We Care for Your Pet Dogs Dog Sitting While your dog is staying with us, we aim to replicate the structure and routine of their home as closely as possible. Feeding schedules, walk times, rest periods, and activity levels are customized to suit your dog’s individual needs. This approach helps reduce stress and allows dogs to settle into the new environment quickly and comfortably. Your dog will be cared for as if they were our own, and you will receive regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Special requests and care instructions are always welcome. Drop-In Visits Drop-in visits are ideal for short trips, busy days, or when your pet simply needs some extra attention. These visits take place in your home, allowing your pet to remain in a familiar environment. Services include feeding, backyard bathroom breaks, and plenty of affection and companionship. Dog Walks Perfect for busy but responsible pet owners. Walks are approximately 30 minutes in your local neighbourhood and provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation for your dog. Cats Cats are cared for exclusively in their own home. This allows them to maintain their normal routine with minimal disruption. Visits are customized to your cat’s needs and can include feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, with flexible availability and a focus on afternoons for walks, drop-in visits, and in-home care. This allows me to provide calm, attentive, and unrushed care while keeping pets on a consistent routine so they feel safe and comfortable. Care is tailored to each pet and the specific service being provided. For dog walks, I focus on safe, structured walks that suit the dog’s energy level and comfort, providing both physical exercise and mental stimulation. For drop-in visits with dogs and cats, care takes place in the pet’s home to maintain their normal routine. Visits include feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, basic cleanup as needed, companionship, and affection. I always prioritize calm, respectful handling and closely follow any instructions provided to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for

About: Hey! My name is Jenna and I’ve owned and looked after pets for pretty much my entire life! I’ve had dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits, and hamsters. You name it I’ve probably owned one at some point in my life and if I didn’t, then I probably wanted to! I have also been working with a dog and cat rescue for the better part of the last 12 years so I am well experienced in animals that may have some “quirks” as I like to call them such as anxiety, food aggression, etc! I’ve trained puppies and I’ve taken care of senior dogs so any animal at any age is safe with me! I am currently working Full time so Monday to Thursday I am gone from 7am to around 8pm and until around 4pm Fridays, weekends are definitely more free as that’s when I am off but I can definitely make it work weekdays as well! I am comfortable with crating animals if that is your routine and will ensure that the yard they are being let out into is safe and secure (ensure the fence didn’t get opened somehow, no one’s tossed anything in the yard etc). When walking your beloved fur babies I will ensure that they are walked how you’d expect them to be and that they are safe and well looked after during this time.

About: My first dog was an active bearded collie. Him and I grew up together as we got him when I was 4. My current dog is 4.5 and he is an X-Large dog (Bernese) which I have trained to allow me to perform all grooming (teeth, paws, nails, brushing, bathing). I am a teacher during the year, but in the summer I have the time off. My daughter and I enjoy being outside with the dog in the backyard and can provide lots of play during the day. I have a fenced in yard, one dog and one daughter. I wake up and feed the dogs in the morning. Let them outside to play for a while to burn energy. Then we can decide on what to do for the day based on the dogs. My dog is variable to activities. He doesn’t mind being lazy infront of the tv but also doesn’t mind being out to play.

About: Hello! My name is Luisa, and my pets are my whole world. I promise to take care of your babies as if they were my own. I have previously completed a two-year apprenticeship under a force-free dog trainer in Calgary, and although I am not currently working as a trainer due to completing my master's, what I learned informs all my interactions with animals. Through fostering and our own pets, I have experience administering medications to a wide range of animals (dogs, cats, bearded dragons, geckos, hedgehogs). At home, my husband and I have two dogs, a cat, and a multitude of reptiles and exotics. We also foster from time to time, which has given us experience with so many other species and personalities. Please let me know if you have any questions, I'd love to answer them. I am completing my master's degree and have a practicum placement from September to March, quite a distance from our home in SE Calgary. I'm hoping to pet sit to save on some driving, and also to have animal companions during this time! I may have some additional availability outside from what I have set in Rover - if our schedules don't align exactly, please feel free to message! My pets would describe me as a helicopter mom, I would describe me as attentive! When I travel, our pet-sitter gets a multi-page document on everyone's needs, so I am not intimidated to receive the same; this just means I can adjust my routine to your pet(s)'...it is their home after all!

About: Hey there! A little about me.. I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Anyone who knows me knows I am a dog loving person. I am caring and responsible and I have a strong love for animals. I’ve raised dogs of different breeds. My friends and family trust me with their pets and my dogs are my babies. I love meeting new dogs and I’m looking forward to meeting yours! 🙂 I work a 14/14 rotation and when I’m not at work I like to spend my days outside doing activities which include lots of walks at three mile bend (Marley loves the river) and we do lots of walks around my neighbourhood. There are some really nice walking trails we like to explore. While I am home I have no obligations that will interfere with me caring for your pet. My house has a huge backyard that is completely fenced with nothing that puppies or adult dogs can get into. It’s well kept. My dog Marley, LOVES having friends over.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely love spending time with them! From fun walks and playtime to keeping routines consistent, I make sure every pup feels happy, safe, and loved. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures or prefers slower, relaxed walks, I adjust to their needs. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means I have a very flexible schedule and lots of availability throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care during weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care since I’m home most of the time. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs! I have a fully gated backyard that provides a safe, secure space for pets to play, explore, and enjoy time outdoors. Your pet will always be supervised and cared for in a calm, loving environment. My home is a safe and welcoming space where your pet will feel comfortable, relaxed, and treated like family. My son loves to be outside playing fetch non stop with the dogs.

About: I've honed my pet care skills through over a decade and a half of walks, grooming, and attentive care with many animals, including my sister's emotional support dog, who requires a lot of extra attention.

I am readily available for pet care services whenever I'm not traveling, ensuring your furry companions receive the attention and care they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate your needs with ease. For boarding, I carefully assess each case to ensure a comfortable stay for your pet. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I prioritize maintaining their familiar environment and routine. I am open to providing regular updates as requested to keep owners informed and reassured.

About: We live on 80 beautiful acres close to the city. We are fully set up to accommodate dogs and cats, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Jasmine works 4 days a week in Edmonton, so is available to provide services in and around your home as well. We have over 30 years experience training and caring for dogs and cats and farm animals. We have never met an animal we couldn’t immediately connect with and we’re passionate about providing loving, structured care. We have many wonderful references. Jasmine works part time in Edmonton, Tuesday to Friday. We have four indoor cats and one Cocker Spaniel. We recently lost our two best canine friends, Otis and Sadie, to the rainbow bridge. They were both large black lab crosses, so we are fully equipped to care for cats and dogs of all sizes. Along with our adorable 1946 two story farmhouse, we also have a beautiful cabin on my property, which is an option if you need boarding for your cat(s) or dog(s) that won’t get along well with others. The cabin is heated with a small wood stove and includes a fully fenced yard. Jasmine’s mother lives on the same property (in her own home) and she is also available to help us. Most of the time, one of us is home on the property, and it is rare that we are all off the property for more than 3 or 4 consecutive hours. Whether you require boarding at our farm or in your home for a day, a week, or a month, you can rest assured that we take caring for animals very seriously and the safety and comfort of your fur baby will be forefront in our minds at all times. Our Cocker Spaniel, Wilson is extremely easy to get along with and thrilled to keep our charges company. He misses Otis and Sadie a great deal and loves having guests come to visit him. As mentioned, we can provide a fenced yard or 80 acres of safe space to roam under supervision. We can also use leashes when necessary or requested. We are many miles from the nearest busy road. You can be sure that your babies will be safe and well supervised on their country get away. We’re also happy to provide care in your own home and my attention to detail and safety will prevail at your home just as it will at ours.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sylvan Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Sylvan Lake on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 104 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Sylvan Lake. About 96% of Sylvan Lake 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.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Sylvan Lake. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Sylvan Lake.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find walkers in Sylvan Lake with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Every walker 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.

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 walker.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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 Sylvan Lake 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!

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.
