“Melinda was great with her drop in Visits with our two cats while we were away. The feedback and photos were very informative and we felt our cats were well cared for in our absence.”
“AMAZING!! 2/3 of my cats are very shy and Ana was able to bring them out of their shell and play with them and get some cuddles! Her short visits helped me feel so much better about leaving my kitties for the week while I was in another province. My cats looked sooo happy in all the photos while they were eating and also getting that playtime in! So so so happy with her service. Will definitely rebook in the future if she will have me!!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Pets have always been an important part of my life, and I treat them like family members. I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and want to provide reliable, compassionate care when their owners can't be there. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including senior pets, and I'm comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. I also have experience with shy and anxious pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and earning an animal's trust. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to provide care that matches their individual personality and needs. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand how important trust and communication are. I'll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident they're happy, safe, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own senior cat and understand the importance of consistency, reliability, and attention to detail when it comes to pet care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. When caring for a client's pet, I make it a priority to follow their routine as closely as possible and provide the attention, exercise, companionship, and care their pet needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care is something I look forward to rather than simply another task on my schedule. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's individual needs and preferences. During drop-in visits, I'll ensure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks as needed, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection. For cats, I'll also scoop litter boxes and keep their area clean and comfortable. For dogs, I'll provide safe, enjoyable walks tailored to their age, energy level, and abilities. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk or a slower-paced stroll with lots of sniffing and exploring, I'll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Niki took care of my pet for an entire week - 2 drop ins per day. She has been amazing, sent me updates and pictures. Very reliable and nice! Highly recommend. Easy to communicate with.”
About: I can take care of your pet in your home or go on a great walk. I look forward to seeing all the animals and servicing their needs. I work from home and have open availability to service clients. I’m available day or night. You pet will be happy and satisfied with my care. I don’t offer the service of the animals coming to my house. I will come to the animal. I have transportation and am available for anywhere in the Edmonton and surrounding areas
“Samantha put me at ease right away as soon as I met her. She’s a natural with animals, you can tell right away. Completely respected my weird cats’ personalities. Highly recommend and will book her again.”
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!
“Once again, Ava was wonderful! I greatly appreciated her willingness to accommodate a last minute request. She made sure to spend lots of 1-on-1 time with each of my cats as they’re still in the process of being introduced, sent plenty of adorable photos, and reached out right away when she noticed one was under the weather. My girls clearly adored her which alleviated the stress of being away from my babies for a few days!”
About: Hello! I have several years of experience working in doggy daycares, dog grooming studios, and providing dog walking and sitting services. I’m also a lifelong dog owner and currently have an Old English Sheepdog of my own. As a Registered Social Worker, I bring patience, reliability, and strong communication skills to every pet I care for. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member, and I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of care, attention, and affection while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I currently work from home doing part time hours. I can be flexible with my schedule to meet the needs of my clients. I’m trustworthy, reliable and have experience with senior dog care, puppies, all breed and sizes of dogs. I have a fully fenced yard for when they do need to go outside. I can tailor my services to what your dog’s needs are. I want to ensure I provide a home away from home. The dog’s well being and care is my number one priority.
About: I've owned pets for over 20 years. I have recent experience with puppy training and senior care. I've had my own cats and now a small dog. I'll treat your animals like my own and want them to be as happy as can be. I recently lost my cat of 18 years which broke my heart. I can't have another cat at the moment but I'd love to take care of yours! I love my little dog very much and I'd love to give your pet the care that it needs during the times you can't. I'm currently in graduate school a couple evenings per week and on Saturday mornings. My schedule is pretty flexible and I'm excited to meet your lovely pets! I have a flexible schedule, reliable vehicle, and am a trustworthy person. I have a small dog at home with a fenced in yard and she loves meeting new friends!
“This was my first time to have someone other than a family member look in on my semi-elderly cat while I was away. I'm so pleased that I chose Tracy for my little bub's daily checkups. Tracy was there every day on time and this made for the best experience for my shy elderly cat. I would definitely book Tracy in the future.”
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.
“Harleen was fantastic! We had a unique situation, visiting our daughter from our of tiwn. We needed someone to care for our pup while we took our daughter out for dinner. Harleen had super communication before and during her stay with Tashi. We highly recommend Harleen and would absolutely contact again when visiting.”
About: I am an educator that has gone to peoples homes to work with children. My favourite part is all of the different pets I get to see which they all love me. I work part time for the county doing customer service and tutor sometimes in the evenings. I can be gone from 6-8 hours on some days or home all day depending on my schedule. I love to spend all of my free time cuddling with pets or going on walks ❤️. I am a very clean individual and so I always like to make sure I leave it just as clean when I leave. Not only that but I always ensure that I give focus to animals, playing with them frequently, going on walks (if cats like it I do walks for them too!), and of course taking care of their needs.
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: I am a huge animal lover and a proud pet parent to two cats and a big, energetic Sheepadoodle! Because I care for my own furry family every day, I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. I will absolutely treat yours like my own. My previous cat lived to be 21 years old, so I have a lot of handson experience with the gentle, patient care that older animals require. I am dedicating my time full-time to pet care, specifically focusing on cat drop-in visits. Because my schedule is completely open and highly flexible, I can easily accommodate your cat's preferred routine, whether they need morning, afternoon, or evening check-ins. I have plenty of time to give them undivided attention, active playtime, and all the cuddles they want! Since I specialize exclusively in drop-in visits, my top priority is making sure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and happy in their own home territory. I am highly observant, detail-oriented, and extremely respectful of your living space. During my visits, I ensure all doors are secure, meticulously clean the litter boxes, and strictly follow your specific feeding or care instructions. I will always send you detailed updates and lots of photos so you can have total peace of mind while you are away!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tamarack
Jasmine was great! I was able to do a meet and greet prior to me leaving town and show her the routine. Met all my expectations as requested and the cats seemed to love her, even Delilah let her pet her which isn’t an easy task for most people as she’s quite shy and skittish around new comers. I appreciate her punctuality as well. If ever in the future I need this type of service, Jasmine will be first choice. Highly recommend.
