About: I grew up on a farm and have extensive experience with all kinds of animal. Dogs and cats alike. I currently work at a animal boarding facility.i also hold a current and up to date animal first aid certification I work mainly nights but have no issue coming to check on pets before and after my shifts. Will be available at any time other that 2-11. I work in a force free boarding facility and I carry that into my own home. I own a Red heeler. So I understand high anxiety or pups who may need extra attention.
“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!”
“We went with Lyra again for an extended weekend trip and honestly we couldn’t be happier. She communicates consistently and loves our dogs. Our home is always left in tip top condition and our girls are tired. She especially takes a lot of time and has so much patience for our dog with medical issues and leash reactivity. I will forever sing her praises from the rooftops. We adore you Lyra!!”
“This was Sara's first visit to my home to take care of my mini poodle Chiko. Sara was recommended to me by a trusted friend and I can see why! She is great. My dog Chiko is a senior (14), completely blind and semi-deaf. He is a gentle little guy but needs constant care and help finding his way around. Sara did a terrific job of keeping Chiko comfortable and he enjoyed a walk with her (his favourite activity!). I would recommend Sara to others, as she is friendly, kind, knowledgable and very professional. Through our conversations it become clear that she had significant experience and good judgement. Thank you Sara!”
About: I’m a reliable and compassionate pet caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for my own animals, along with professional experience working in an animal hospital. This has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety, as well as the ability to stay calm and attentive in any situation. I treat every pet as if they were my own—making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away I’m currently working part time serving so my schedule is pretty flexible just waiting to go to school in the fall. I’m always able to work around schedules and what works best for the owner. I’m very attentive when it comes to all types of animals. We have a fenced in yard but live on acreage so my pets have a lot of area to run and play but also no chance of them getting lost because they also are trained. I make sure there are no dangerous areas around my home from sharp corners to things on the ground. My dogs constantly have water but are on a strict eating schedule. My cats are fed at all times and also have water at all times. My dogs and cats usually have a goo rotation when it comes to toys I get them ones that won’t harm them if they rip them apart, but if they do I will buy them a new one. I’d say there pretty spoiled animals but when you love them doesn’t seem like work at all.
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. I understand the importance of finding someone who will care for your furry family members in the same way! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. 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. This allows me to have an extremely flexible schedule that can serve me and you well! I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup as well as two cats that keep to their lonesome. A big yard and a calming environment. Can crate as per request!

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 .
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 .
