About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life, i can take care of puppies, mid size and large dogs aswell. I have a husky at my home. He is friendly aswell. I basically work from home, So I can give maximum care to the dogs. I will be taking for long walks and feed them on time. My daily average steps for this year is 9000, that itself says I am an active person. I have fully furnished house and the dogs will be safe inside the house. They can freely roam around the house and the doors will be locked all the time. I can also put them in crate if the client ask for.
“Ana was absolutely amazing with our dogs. She was so welcoming and accommodating fitting us in last minute for a daycare stay. I would trust her with my pets anytime.”
“Ana is a complete lifesaver. We had major renovations start in our home earlier than expected and my dog is 14 years old this month. No way I could leave hom at home with strangers making sounds at all hours of the day! She was able to take him in last minute, and provided many updates, photos, and videos throughout the day. Honestly, he is so excited to go he screams when he knows we are almost there. She takes better care of him that I probably do. I highly recommend Ana. She is really nice, takes great care of animals, and clearly loves them. Even my old mop of a boy.”
“Alex was a very patient and kind caregiver for our miniature dachshund Maxx. Alex took many photos while taking care of Maxx, so we could see what Maxx was doing during his stays. By Maxx's second visit, he had settled in quite well with Alex and his dog and he seemed very happy to be there. We will definitely request more daycare with Alex soon!”

I really appreciated that they gave her outdoor time and attention—she came home happy, relaxed, and very clean. They were also very accommodating and easy to communicate with, which made the whole experience stress-free. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet services!”

About: I’d love to care for your pup with walks, visits, or overnight hang-outs! I work from home most of the time (setting my own schedule for days in the office) and will be able to spend tons of time with your pup with very few and flexible exceptions. We have our own pup, a young golden retriever who is very social and confident and silly. He plays and gets along really well with other dogs! Dogs who are well behaved, relaxed, and mellow are my favourite, but I love pups who have more energy as long as they listen really well and are gentle and kind :) We can go for walks in our quiet and safe neighbourhood and in the huge field outside our front door, and we can hangout together in our paved and closed off backyard! We are pretty mellow people and love having a pup around to walk and adventure with and to snuggle and chill with. I do not take dogs who do not walk well on a leash (unrelenting pulling is a no-go, but they also don’t have to be perfect or beside me the whole time - they can certainly sniff and explore and enjoy themselves), who are loud (consistent barking or whining), who have destructive separation anxiety, or who are aggressive with or have issues with other dogs or people (reactivity). If you’re in need of a sitter for a longer duration, it’s best if your dog would be comfortable in an office environment where other dogs may be present. It’s easier to accommodate longer stays if I can bring them with me to work, though I am able to work from home any time and certainly over shorter stays. Safety is my top priority followed closely by having fun! When outside I’ll keep your dog on a leash unless we are hanging out together in our closed off backyard.
“Dylan and his roommates are AWESOME! My baby girl always comes home so happy and exhausted from all the playtime, walks, and love and care they give her. I’m so grateful to these guys for taking such great care of her. I’m so happy I found this gem for big dogs in Edmonton! Highly recommend! ❤️”
“Opie had such a great time at Nicole's that he didn't want to leave! She has a massive backyard for Opie to run with the other pups to burn off that energy. Was also sent many pictures and videos of Opie having fun. Would highly recommend Nicole as your dog-sitter.”
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every dog in my care like they’re part of my family — not just a guest. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new, so my goal is to make both you and your pup feel completely comfortable. While I may be newer to professional dog sitting, dogs are already a huge part of my everyday life. I share my home with my own sweet pup LunaRu, a collie/malamute mix, and our days usually include 1–2 long walks, plenty of playtime, and opportunities to get outside (including trips to the dog park when it’s a good fit). I understand how important routine is for dogs, so I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual schedule, feeding instructions, training cues, and preferences to help them feel safe and settled. Whether your dog is energetic and looking for adventure or just wants companionship and a cozy place to relax, I’ll adjust to their personality and needs. I also love sending updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is getting plenty of attention, exercise, and love. 🐾 I am currently working part-time from home for myself so I completely make my own schedule! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine! My dog LunaRu and I love getting outside, and our typical day includes 1–2 long walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I really enjoy having a dog as part of my daily life, so adding another furry friend to join our routine feels like a natural fit. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend lots of time with the dogs in my care and make sure they get the exercise, companionship, and attention they need. Whether that means an adventure outside, a trip to the dog park (if appropriate), playtime at home, or some cozy downtime, I’m happy to adjust to each dog’s personality and routine. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I want every pup in my care to feel like they’re getting a fun little vacation while still having the structure and security they’re used to at home. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air, playtime, and supervised outdoor time. I also share my home with my friendly dog LunaRu, so visiting pups have the opportunity to have a buddy to play with (after proper introductions and making sure everyone is comfortable). I know every dog has different needs and routines, so I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, training cues, sleeping arrangements, and any house rules you’d like maintained. I also have extra crates available for dogs who are crate trained or feel safest having their own cozy space. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your dog feels at home — with plenty of exercise, attention, snuggles, and updates along the way. 🐾
“Anna made the experience effortless and my dog Coda was spoiled with her. She did more than what I could’ve asked for, such as walks, snacks and a lot of play time and naps ☺️”
“Ian took great care of my pup, Morris! He's helped us multiple times and was responsive and shared updates each visit. Morris always came home calm and happy! We would recommend Ian if you're looking for a sitter!”
About: Missing going on walks with my labs on the farm. Would love to give some doggies care and exercise —my cat is NOT about the leash life. I work on the South side 7:00-3:30, Monday to Friday. Available for both early morning and evening walks on weekdays. Available anytime during the weekend. I have experience with many different breeds and temperaments of dogs, as I used to volunteer at the Edmonton Humane Society dog walking the shelter dogs. I do have a fenced yard if off leash time is better suited for your dog. Felix (my cat) can attest he gets all the attention but I also know when he wants personal space. Cats know what they want.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tamarack
We couldn't be happier with the care Anthony provided for our dog, Brandy, while we were away. From the moment we left, we knew Brandy was in loving and capable hands. The daily photos and updates were such a thoughtful touch. Seeing Brandy happy and relaxed each day gave us real peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away. We highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!

Help your dog become familiar with the day-care environment before their first full day.

This can make the environment feel more familiar and help you and the sitter confirm that the setup is right for your dog.
Pack anything you and the sitter have agreed your dog will need, such as:
- Their usual food and approved treats, with feeding instructions

- Their collar or harness and other walking equipment

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine and some may offer flexible activities suited for your dog. 95% of sitters in your city can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays.
These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Tamarack commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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.

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 .
