“As always we felt our pets (a few of which were high needs) were safe and loved while we were away. I really enjoy Sam’s updates as well - also went above and beyond for things around the house - thanks so much Sam!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and I was so happy Jessica was available to help us out. She stayed at our place and watched over our senior dog for 6 nights and they got along really well. She was friendly, clean and always very quick to respond to my messages. We even got pictures sent to us while we were away which was a nice way to keep in touch. I will definitely be reaching out to her again when we go away! Thanks Jessica!”
“Pam was great and accommodating a last minute booking for us. Came home to a clean house and a happy kitty! Would recommend Pam for pet sitting and will hopefully have her over 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: Hi, I'm Gemma! I've grown up with animals and and currently have a smart, active doggo named Zuri. As well as a cowboy corgi named Penny. They are both absolutely crazy but I love them both so much! I also used to own KlondikePup Pet Supplies, where I have gained lots of experience with pet nutrition, behaviour, and care. I am currently in school for my dog training certification, so am willing to work with your dogs on basic things. I treat every pet like my own - making sure they're safe, happy and loved while you're away. Whether its walks, playtime, or quiet company. I'll make sure your furry friend feels right at home! I’m currently not working, and pretty flexible with my schedules! Which is great for dropping in on pets or hanging out with them! I have no issues adjusting to their routines to help keep a good transition and them happy I go for 1-2 walks a day, and it can be adjusted on your pets needs (slower, shorter, higher energy, basic training etc). I also do 2-3 10 minute training sessions with my girls, which can also be done with your doggos! Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I stick to their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, happy & loved.

About: I bring a calm, attentive presence and years of experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments. What sets me apart is my intuitive approach, ability to read animal behavior, and commitment to keeping pets comfortable in their own routines. I’m patient, observant, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe and loving space for every animal I care for. I'm currently a student with a flexible schedule, which means I have ample time to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to provide regular walks, companionship, and consistent attention throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals,it’s one of the best parts of my day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, medication (if needed), and preferred sleeping arrangements. I take the time to build trust, using a calm and patient approach that helps animals feel secure. In clients’ homes, I treat the space with respect and keep things clean and tidy. I also provide regular updates so owners can relax knowing their pets are in good hands.
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with an 8 year old Rottweiler named Pablo. As well as 2 cats, Ginny & Alfie! They’re the closest things to children I have, and I love them deeply.

This allows me to give your fur babies ample attention, love and the care they deserve. Love the outdoors, especially long walks! I’d love to provide your pets with the same care, love, patience and attention I give my own! :) I’m a relator with a vast knowledge of Edmonton and greater areas.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Wetaskiwin 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 Wetaskiwin 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 Wetaskiwin 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:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
