About: Its hard enough to leave a pet with a stranger I'm hoping to make that a little bit easier. Besides taking care of personal pets since I was 10yrs old, in recent years I've taking a liking to babysitting friends dogs both at their home or mine. I have a daughter who I consider when looking at my schedule and as long as we have a friendly bunch I would be taking her along. I've taught her to respect animals just as much as I do and pet personal space is considered into that. I have a small fenced yard, but plenty of walking trails around. I don't have any pets of my own besides the 2 dogs and cat at my moms that stayed with my family when I moved out. I like to engage with the animals, if I'm coming to your house or otherwise to care for your animal I want them to feel seen and loved in the stressful moments while the most important people in their life are away.
About: We know firsthand that dogs are family. We cared for our beloved dog for 11 years through two knee surgeries and several other procedures due to genetic health issues, giving her the best care every step of the way. That experience taught us patience, responsibility, and how to recognize when a dog needs extra attention. We provide a calm, loving home, daily walks, plenty of affection, and will follow your dog's routine exactly as you request. We treat every dog like one of our own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. We both work full-time Monday to Friday, so we're best suited for dogs that are comfortable being home alone for up to 8 hours during the workday. Every dog gets a morning walk before we leave, an evening walk when we're home, and lots of love and attention afterward. On weekends we're home most of the day, so your dog will have plenty of companionship, playtime, and cuddles. Your dog's safety and comfort are our top priorities. We'll follow your dog's feeding schedule, medication routine, exercise needs, and any special instructions exactly as requested. We treat every dog like a member of our family and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. We also volunteer with an incredible pet rescue in Edmonton dog sitting for fosters while they wait for their forever home and absolutely love everything about it. All dogs we watch will 100% be treated like royalty 💜 We also have a toy box full of new toys where your incredible pet gets to bring home their favorite toy after their stay 🥰
About: Hi! I’m Brooklynn, I’ve been helping to take care of animals my whole life. I have experience in pet and house sitting. I also have experience working in an animal shelter. I will make sure that your pet(s) needs are fulfilled and make sure that they are happy and loved. I can handle dogs with high energy and make sure that they get the exercise then need to feel good. I’m a huge supporter of communication, after all I will be taking care of your fantastic pet. I will update you with how they are doing and will listen for advice to give them the best time ever! I am reliable, responsible and resourceful, and I cannot wait to make a new fur friend. I work week days however the days and times fluctuate. During the week I have open availability after 6 pm. Weekends I have open availability. For overnight care I make sure to leave the home how the owners left it. I make sure that the animals have been fed and let outside before my day is done.
About: I'm a university student who loves caring for animals. Between part-time jobs, pet care has become my favourite way to stay connected to animals and earn a little extra, and I bring real enthusiasm to every visit. I've been around animals my whole life. I had my dog for 9 years, and my childhood cat lived to an incredible 21 years old... so I'm completely comfortable with pets of all ages, temperaments, and routines, from high-energy puppies to senior animals who need a gentler touch. Beyond my own pets, I have hands-on experience with drop-in visits and care for other people's dogs and cats. I have a returning client whose cat and dog I've looked after multiple times while they travel. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I always keep owners in the loop with photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. As an outdoors person who loves walking and running, I'm especially great with active dogs who need real exercise (not just a quick lap around the block). That said, I'm just as happy with a calm check-in, a cuddle session, and a cozy afternoon for pets who prefer it lowkey. I currently work part-time and keep my Rover calendar updated regularly to reflect my availability. I’m generally available Fridays and Saturdays, and I’m also happy to take bookings on additional days off throughout the week as my schedule allows. I understand the importance of reliability and communication, so I make sure to keep my availability updated week-to-week and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. Whether it’s a scheduled walk, drop-in visit, or last-minute check-in, I aim to provide dependable care and flexibility whenever possible. I always aim to provide calm, reliable, and attentive care while keeping pets comfortable in their usual routine and environment. During walks, I pay close attention to safety, leash handling, traffic, and each dog’s individual temperament and energy level. I’m also comfortable with active dogs and happy to provide longer walks or runs when needed. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, food if needed, bathroom breaks, attention, and companionship while keeping the home secure and tidy. I value clear communication and provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.
“Alycia went above and beyond taking care of our kitties while we were away. She clearly loves the animals a great and has their best interests in mind. We were very impressed, would definitely recommend her and hope to work with her again.”
About: I grew up on an acreage and have cared for animals my entire life. I began pet sitting for others early on, including for a veterinarian family, caring for dogs, cats, horses, fish, and a variety of other animals. I am currently a student at the U of A where I am studying Animal Health with the goal of becoming a veterinarian. I offer pet sitting, dog-walking, feeding/watering, exercise and daily care tailored to each animal's individual needs. I currently work part-time and attend University classes at the UofA for Animal Health. However this still allows me lots of free time to direct towards pet sitting and with communication I am very open to discussing scheduling. Whenever I pet/house sit at a clients home, I maintain and clean and organized environment. I prioritize cleaning up after not just the pets but myself included. I always follow rules and instructions for certain things as well in order to maintain a safe environment for everyone.
“This our second time booking Kelcy, and once again she did an amazing job stopping by to feed and visit our two cats while we were away. She kept us updated and sent us lots of pictures. We will definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life since I was around 4. I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs, giving me lots of experience! I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life, I’ve taken care of their daily needs since I was 10 years old. I make sure to have my schedule fit with letting my dogs out and feeding my animals. I am the biggest animal lover, I will spend time with dogs and cats over humans most of the time. I always keep an eye on the animals I’m taking care of, and I will always follow their schedules and needs!
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Zoe. She did drop-in visits for our four cats over two weeks and truly went above and beyond in every way. Her communication was excellent—she provided detailed notes after each visit along with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Zoe also took amazing care of our home. She even shoveled when it snowed and brought in packages that arrived while we were gone, which was incredibly thoughtful. When we returned, the house smelled fresh and clean—not like litter at all—which says so much about the level of care she put in. We would absolutely recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter.”
About: Hello! My name is Ashlea, I just have Mac the cat with me during the day. I am working from home during the week and could use some company! Boarding and pet sitting at your house will be easy (as long as you have wifi!) and a break from the computer for a walk would be in the best interests of both me and your pup. I need a few more little paws keeping me awake during the day, and also awake at night! lol I am currently working from home full time so there is no restriction on how much time I can spend with your pets! I think I need them around more than they need me! I have a fenced yard, access to nice walking paths and safe areas to play and plenty of experience with dogs of all breeds and personality types!
“A big thank you to Ashton. I asked him to do a two hour drop in. Of course, my dog had diarrhea . Ashton dealt with it without making a fuss, and my dog is happy that he didn't have to be in the kennel for the whole morning.”
“We are very pleased with Karla and how she took care of our three cats. She provided photos and videos daily and kept us updated on how they were doing. She didn't have to but she also tidied up the floors before we returned as well as put our compost bin to the side out of our driveway. She was very adoring with our li'l kitties, we will definitely be contacting Karla for any future cat sitting needs.”
“Charleigh was very accommodating for a last minute request. She arrived on time, stayed with the dogs to give them some attention, took them for walks, and sent pictures along the way. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and I will definitely use her next time.”
About: Grew up with multiple dogs and loved taking care of them! Apart from my own, I’ve watched many friends & family’s dogs too! Caring for dogs as well as walking, playtime, and everything in between comes very natural to me! Currently a university student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I can easily fit walks and visits into my daily routine and stay consistent each week. For walks and home visits/check-ins, I focus on safety, routine, happiness, and attention. I make sure your dogs get exercise, care, and companionship when needed!
About: I walk daily and will offer your dog lots of outdoor walks - on or off leash. They will get lots of love and snuggles too. I have been caring for animals all my life but have focused mostly on dogs the past 25 years. I have spent years with street dogs in Mexico and doing spay and neuter clinics. I have 2 of my own dogs that came from Mexico and have found homes for many more. I have a strong passion and love for dogs and can guarantee your dog will receive lots of love and care while with me. Currently I am working part time casual for the school board so have all day with your dog unless I get called in. I go for a minimum of an hour walk usually in the river valley once a day and then a couple leash walks in the neighbourhood morning and evening. I have 2 very friendly dogs - one is a senior 9 years old and the other is 3 years old which can keep your dog company. I don’t crate my dogs but can offer that if you wish. I will offer your dog a home away from home.
About: Working in security K9 teams. This role taught me how to read dog behavior, stay calm in different situations, and prioritize safety at all times. I work shift work, giving me flexible availability to care for your pets day or night. Whether it's early mornings or late evenings, I'm happy to help. My home has a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time when appropriate. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication administration if needed, and lots of affection to help pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are awa
About: Hello my name is Jackie and I am a caring, responsible adult with a full-time job in healthcare. I work from Monday to Friday 830-430pm, off on weekends and holidays I have always had many pets growing up and I have yet to meet pets that haven’t loved me, and vice versa. My partner and I have two four month old kittens and therefore I cannot take pets into my home, I would love to come into your home and take care of your fur babies while you are away! I have experience pet and house sitting for multiple families the last 10 years and would be happy to give you some references upon request :) I always believe the easiest transition for your pet while you are away is to keep them in their own homes(familiar surroundings) and to keep up with their daily routines. Your dog will be busy with long walks, going to the park(if ok), play time and endless love and pets. Your cat will receive lots of treats and playtime if they like that kind of thing. I have experience watching pets of all ages and sizes , please contact me as I would love to touch base with you on how I can meet your pets needs I’m working full time, my hours are Monday to Friday 830-430pm, off on weekends and holidays! This consistent schedule allows for me to keep up with your pets daily routines and provide them with adequate socialization time as well. I currently have two kittens of my own with my partner, therefore it would be best for me to care for them in your home! As an added bonus, you will receive a house sitter! Your pets will feel comfortable and safe in their own environment and keeping up with their daily routines

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Tamarack is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $34 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,126 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Tamarack. About 88% of Tamarack 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.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Tamarack 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.
