“Andrea is such a wonderful pet sitter! She took the time to meet our pup beforehand, and was so calm and patient as our anxious and shy pup became comfortable with her. While pet-sitting, she sent us updates with lots of pictures and we could tell that our pup adored her! We would absolutely recommend Andrea!”
“This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience! Amanda was quick to reply, super friendly, and very punctual. My pups had a fun time with her and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
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
“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!”
“This was the first time I have ever tried getting sitters for my dogs. I was super nervous as my dogs are very high energy and I have never left them alone with people I don't know well! Stacy and her husband Adam were absolutely amazing. They sent me frequent updates and definitely put my mind at ease while I was away for 2 days! I couldn't have asked for anyone better to stay with my babies. Thank you both so much for everything!”
About: I babysat my neighbor's bigger dog at the age of 12 and then my aunt's puppy in it's earlier months as she was at work. :) I regularly spend time outdoors on walks, working out, at the park and more, so I believe incorporating this service will be the perfect transition towards a profession, as spending time outdoors is a major part of my lifestyle. I believe communication is the biggest thing when undertaking such a real responsibility, so in order to prepare for this I like to ensure everything is clear by using my personal checklist. The best way to ensure safety and trust is clear communication and patience. I want to ensure the dog is comfortable and aware of their surroundings.
“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!”
“Kind, Courteous, Caring, Selfless, Competent and most importantly loves my dog as much as I do :D These words describe this helpful woman and I would recommend her to anyone I know with complete confidence that she will rise to any challenge ! I am grateful to have met Sophie and will continue to hire her as much as possible.”
“I was nervous to leave for a night without my dogs. Ava had fantastic communication while we were away and kept me up to date. When I came home my puppies were happy and seemed to be at ease. Unfortunately she had to deal with my dog making a mess, and she dealt with it without any hesitation and was understanding. 10/10 Would recommend!”
“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!”
“We had another sitter cancel Last minute and David was able To help us out with watching our dogs. We use another dog sitting website and ended up with no sitter. David came over a week before we left to ensure he could watch our dogs and it was a good fit. We have a young puppy too and he was very accommodating. We also liked that david stayed most of time at home With the dogs to train The puppy. Our house was also clean when we came home and had daily pictures and a video sent. It was very easy to communicate. We recommend david for Sure.”
“Catherine is amazing! Lots of pictures and videos sent, and the house was tidy when we ready got home. Our pets enjoyed her company and we were reassured all was good at home and with our boyz! We recommend Catherine highly!”
“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 been taking care of/ training dogs my entire life. My oldest girl is over 17 years old and I've currently been training a VERY high energy and rambunctious 1 and a half year old black lab/ border collie mix. I am currently getting my certification to be a licensed professional dog trainer. I am available for walking/ training and sitting any day, with a very flexible schedule. I take my dog for probably 10 walks a day. We also frequent the dog park a lot. I can either take your dog to the park or for solo walks, whatever you're comfortable with.
“Umber was so wonderful with my new puppy. Harley loved being at her house and playing with her puppy Blue. She really is great with the animals and cared for my puppy as if it was her own. It’s the first time I have left my dog and not worried at all about her. I would absolutely recommend Umber as a pet sitter. I’ll definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have been dog-sitting since I was 15, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life! I have experience looking after dogs with different personalities and needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication, and keeping them happy and comfortable. I’ve also had experience cat-sitting, including feeding, playing, and providing companionship. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I make it my priority to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am open to customized care suited to your needs! Just send me a text! I work at an office Monday- Friday 8am to 4:30pm. When I am not working , I will prioritize your pets needs as needed. I first have to gauge your pets personality, and that takes time and consistency. I allow them to come to me while providing their basic needs. Overtime, once they become comfortable, i will engage in more play . I do not force any pet to spend time with me . I treat them how I would like to be treated.

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 Wild Rose 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 Wild Rose 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 Wild Rose 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.
