“We recently used Robin to care for our 15 year old senior Pomeranian. She was incredible. Not only was she punctual, but she sent daily updates and photos of our girl while we were away. She administered her medication with zero issues as well. Gave her all the belly rubs and treats. After she left and we arrived home we noticed our old girl looking for Robin. Highly recommend and we will be using her again. Thanks Robin!”
“Jasmine has excellent communication with a wholesome heart, kind personality, and comforting way about her right from the first meeting. Jasmine stepped up beyond my expectation and was able to show positivity, compassion and maturity while also thinking ahead and outside of the box which proved to me that my pets were in good and very capable hands. Looking forward to choosing her to care for our pets in the future! Highly recommend.”
About: I have pet sit for a wide variety of friends and family with all different kind of animals. Dogs most frequently to cats and even birds. I work full time Monday to Thursday 7am to 3pm. My work is in office 15 minute drive from my home. I can come home on my lunch break to allow for extra potty breaks if needed. I live in town houses, so if your dog cries from separation anxiety please let me know ahead of time. I do my best to tailor my routine to your pets needs. I know how Important it is to keep a pets routine the same.
“Thadora did an amazing job taking care of Tito for 11 days! Tito actually got a little sick from doggy daycare before I left to go out of town, but Thadora did a great job recognizing that he wasn’t feeling his best and escalating and she even took him to the vet to make sure it wasn’t anything too serious. I was SO appreciative to have her so that I didn’t need to worry too much while I was out of the country. She sent me lots of photos and videos and Tito loved her so much! I am sure Tito cannot wait until my next trip to have Thadora visit him again. ❤️🐶”
About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes breeds and personalities my whole life. I am comfortable and confident caring for dogs that are small, large, shy, social young or old. For the past two years, I have volunteered as an advanced dog walker with Edmonton Humane Society, where I have received hands-on training with their expert Behaviour Team. I’m currently completing an online diploma, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I’m available for pet care throughout the week and on weekends morning afternoon or evening. Since my studies are self-paced I am able to easily prioritize your pets needs and give them attention time and care they deserve whenever it’s needed. While I don’t host pets in my own home, I have plenty of experience, caring for pets in their own space and staying at clients homes. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure in a familiar environment so I always do my best to maintain the usual routine Whether it’s drop visits or overnight stays I treat your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect
About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and have experience caring for many different types of pets. Along with my two dogs, I’ve spent years pet sitting dogs and cats for family friends and have experience caring for pets with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’ve also previously owned a bearded dragon and lots of fish, so I’m comfortable learning and following care routines for animals beyond just cats and dogs. I’m responsible, patient, and very attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I genuinely love animals and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work part time and I’m in school but I’m available Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays after 2pm. I’m also available anytime on Saturdays but I’m only available on Sunday evenings :) I treat every client’s home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow all instructions closely, keep pets safe and supervised, and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. I’m attentive to changes in a pet’s behaviour or health and will communicate with the owner if anything seems unusual. I also respect the home by keeping things clean, being mindful of belongings, and making sure everything is as it was when I arrived.
“We would highly recommend Lori. She looked after our senior dog over the long weekend. Lori provided daily updates and photos which was very reassuring. Not only did she take good care of our fur baby she took great care of our home. Thanks so much Lori.”
“Cassidy looked after our cat Bagheera while we were away on vacation. Bagheera is typically nervous around new people but warmed up to her right away! Cassidy was very professional, honest, and communicative before and during the house sitting visit which made the experience very comfortable for us! Will definitely rebook :)”
“Sidney watched our two dogs while we were away for 5 days and she did a tremendous job. She sent photo updates daily and I could tell the dogs were very well cared for. 10/10 recommend and will be booking again!”
About: I’ve taken care of many different types of pets from cats to dogs to lizards. I have loved animals all my life and I plan to give all that love to your pet! I’m a high-level athlete a coach and work a retail service job and volunteer at a vet clinic because in my future, I hope to become a vet tech because I do love animals more than anything else in the world! I always ensure that my cats at home are well fed, have clean litter boxes and are given the love that they deserve. They are not allowed outside. They are indoor only.
“Dimitra was FABULOUS! We have never had someone outside of family watch our dog so of course we were super nervous. She cared for our dog and home as if it was her own and we came home to a super happy guy. We got picture update, saw them go on multiple walks and got pictures of them laying on the couch together. I couldn’t recommend her enough - we will 100% be contacting her next time we leave town.”
“Leonora is excellent. Prior to our vacation she came to meet Luna and go over any information and needs she might have. She stayed at the house with her, and sent regular photos and updates. Luna got a little sick while we were gone, but she kept us updated and took great care of her. I would definitely use Leonora again, and would highly recommend her to anyone :)”
“Amber did a great job of looking after our dog. Who has limited mobility and a routine of meds. She sent us pictures of their time together. Also sent texts letting us know how things were going. Would definitely book again.”
“Alyssa was great with our dog and house for 2 weeks while away. We received pictures and videos of her walking him daily. He was well taken care of. Our house was spotless when we returned.”
“Robyn did an amazing job looking over my two pups for the long weekend ! Followed instructions and also took pictures of my dogs every day for me ! Definitely recommend using her !”
“Naomi was SO SO great. She took such great care of our fur babies, sent updates daily, and left our house spotless for when we came home. I cannot recommend her enough, all of our pets loved her. Naomi went above and beyond our expectations and we will absolutely have her back!”
About: What sets me apart is patience and consistency. I work best with basic-trained, well-natured dogs. The ones who enjoy a calm routine, a good walk, and someone who's actually present. I also have experience with senior dogs, understanding their slower pace, extra comfort needs, and any mobility considerations that come with age. I work from home most days, which lets me fit pet care around my schedule - whether that's caring for your dog at my house or at yours. Dogs comfortable being alone for a few hours during the day fit best, since I balance sits with my own remote work. At my home: I have a townhome with a small yard and nearby trail access, which works best for smaller dogs. They'll get regular walks, outdoor time, and plenty of snuggles in a calm setting. At your home: I will fit my schedule around your dog's existing routine as much as possible to keep disruption minimal.
“Jessica did a wonderful job watching my girl Gigi for the night at my house. She provided me with updates on how she was doing, and that they became "friends" which gave me piece of mind. She has a very calming demeanor and you can tell her love for animals. We will definitely rebook with Jessica again!”

Olivia was very professional. Easy to get along with. And most importantly did awesome with our mile long list of instructions we left. Also had to administer ear drops, and pills for our dog Haley. She took Haley for a walk. Not too mention went over and above, leaving our house VERY clean. Vacuumed, stripped the bed, kitchen was sparkling etc. HIGHLY recommend her services. We will definitely look her up before our next vacation!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Tamarack maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Tamarack walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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 .
