“Robin was great! She did 3 pre-visits (we booked her a month and a half in advance). She stayed in our home for almost three weeks. Gave us almost daily updates with pictures. Our two fur babies were calm and relaxed when we came home. The house was left clean and in order. Will be using her again when we go away!”
“We booked Jasmine to house sit our pup Lenny while we were on holidays for a week. Jasmine was very professional during the booking process, very kind during our initial meet and greet and provided regular updates with pictures throughout our time away. I felt confident that Lenny was in good hands while we were away, which was reassuring. She left the house in great condition as well! Would recommend Jasmine and will use her for future bookings!”
“Ana took such an amazing care of our little Luna! While we were away to Mexico for a family vacation, Ana made sure to let us know how Luna was doing and shared photos of her which we appreciated much. We would love a future sitting with Ana’s family!”
About: I have had pets my entire life, ranging from cats and dogs to pygmy goats! I have experience with a wide variety of pets with different personalities and I love getting to see all their different little quirks and learning how to care for them! I am a university student and I work Monday and Thursday evenings. I have most evenings and the weekends to care for and spend time with your pets! I always try to enter the situation with a warm and kind energy but I also always focus on them and their needs and watch for signs of discomfort and anxiety from them. If the animals do show signs of distress I will always keep my distance and let them come to me when they are ready! I always try and predict and watch for their needs so they can receive the care they need whenever.
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
“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!”
“Colin was amazing with my dogs! They got daily walks, we received daily detailed updates, and I could tell they were torn about leaving him. They definitely bonded with him as we saw from the pics of them cuddled up. Would definitely book with Colin again! Thank you so much!”
“Ocean did a great job looking after my pup for a weekend. She replied promptly and was easy to work with and my dog seemed happy and well taken care of when I returned home. I’d recommend Ocean as a sitter!”
“10/10!! Highly recommend Niki for any pet needs, but having her for our first overnight was best case scenario! She was available last minute, extremely thorough and even more friendly! She made getting away and enjoying the weekend extremely care-free. Went above and beyond not only with the care of the pets, but also our home.”
“Thadora gave us piece of mind while on vacation knowing our two dogs and home were in good hands. She gave us adorable updates of the dogs playing and on walks throughout the week and had excellent communication. The dogs seemed to love her right away and she understood their individual personalities and quirks to make sure they were comfortable the whole time. We returned to the house spotlessly clean and the pups very content. We just hope she’s available the next time we go away!”
About: We bred dogs in our family home growing up. I’m comfortable with all ages, sizes and breeds of dogs. I’ve always lived with a dog and dogs are naturally drawn toward me! I’m available during the day, evenings and anytime on the weekends! (Excluding Monday evening, Tuesday mornings and Thursdays mornings). Please reach out so we can organize and look at both of our calendars! Each animal requires a unique style of care. I care for my pets closely around their personality and most importantly I make exercise, mental stimulation and affection a priority. As well as quality nutrition. I prefer to shy away from unhealthy treats as I value the longevity and health of my pet companions!
“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.”
About: I’ve never shied away from any animal! I absolutely love every breed, and I love getting to know every animals unique personality and basing their needs around it :) I’m currently a full time student in university with a silly schedule, but plenty of free time! On Monday Wednesday and Fridays I’m available from 10:30am to 2:30pm, and then again after 4pm! I am able to spend nights on any of those days as well:) On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have an evening class from 4pm-7pm, so any other times I’m available! Weekends I’m totally free! As long as you communicate your pets needs, I will gladly comply! If they need a continuation on training I will do my absolute best to help out in any way! Letting me know their routine will help me familiarize myself with the animal, and I will follow any instructions to a T. Let me know any concerns you may have and we can figure them out together :)
“Colby took great care of Mookie! We were concerned given Mookie’s age (17 yrs old) and temperament; but Colby did a great job of making Mookie feel relaxed. She provided update photos via the portal which gave us peace of mind. Thanks Colby - very much appreciated! We would have no hesitation in going with Colby again.”
About: Hello! My name is Jenn, and I’ve been passionate about pets for as long as I can remember. I've had dogs and cats in my life since childhood, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I also have hands-on experience with senior pets, so I understand the patience, gentleness, and special care that older animals require Professionally, I work as a Home Care Aide, where I support my clients and their pets every single day. At my current placement, I care for my client, the family's 3 dogs, and their cat. My role has helped me develop a keen sense for routine, structure, and empathy, all of which are crucial for responsible pet care. You can count on me to follow instructions carefully and provide your pet with a dependable routine My current availability is after 6pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. All day Thursday and Sunday, and before 10am and after 8pm on Saturday I have a fenced in yard, a park in my neighbourhood, and transportation. I also have pet cameras at home to keep an eye on everyone while I am out
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.
About: With over a decade of dedicated experience, my journey as a dog lover began during my childhood, nurturing and caring for our furry companions like they were family. This deep-rooted connection instilled in me a profound understanding of the unique needs and unconditional love that dogs bring into our lives. With me, your furry companion isn't just in good hands – they're in loving paws that understand the language of loyalty and companionship. Let's make your dog's stay an unforgettable experience, full of play, comfort, and a whole lot of tail-wagging happiness Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine as an integral part of my life. Mornings start with cheerful walks and play sessions, setting the tone for an active day ahead. During the day, I ensure regular potty breaks, engaging activities, and ample cuddle time. Structured mealtimes are a priority, accommodating dietary needs and preferences. In the evenings, leisurely walks allow for exploration and relaxation. Nighttime routines include cozy rest areas and soothing rituals for a peaceful sleep. In my home, where I offer dog day care services, your furry friend becomes an honorary member of my family. From the moment they step through the door, they're greeted with a warm welcome and a safe, inviting space tailored to their needs. Structured routines ensure that they receive the attention, exercise, and mental stimulation they crave. Play sessions in our securely fenced yard allow for spirited romps, while indoor areas are filled with toys, cozy spots, and water stations for comfort and hydration.
“Kelcy was so so awesome! I needed a last minute sitter cause my pup became ill and I had work the next day. She was available and made it work with her schedule to care for Snowy! Such a life saver thank you so so much I wish I could rate her more than 5 stars. She even updated me lots throughout the day! Thank you again Kelcy! :)”
“Lyra was excellent with our girl Bella. Bella did so well with her and the photos and videos that were sent for the entire week were great and appreciated! Thank you.....Lyra!!!! I was worried to leave Bella for the entire week, but Lyra put my mind at ease. (I think she misses Lyra with all the play time she got)”

Robin did a fantastic job looking after my girls. She sent pictures every single day and also had a quick chat with me. The girls looked happy throughout my absence. Robin also left my home in perfect condition and even stripped the bed and put into the washer and dryer. I would not hesitate to have Robin stay with my girls again. Great job Robin.
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 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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
