About: I've loved and taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, mine and other people’s too! It started with my childhood German Shepherd, JoJo, who waited at the end of the street every day to run along side the school bus because she knew I was on the that big, yellow, beast. More recently, I loved and cared for my orange and white, Manx cat, Sid, named after Sid Vicious because he was a little vicious when he was a kitten. My experience taking care of other people's dogs began 22 years ago when a co-worker needed help with her Pomeranian when she went on a trip. I dog sat for her several times. When she realized she no longer could keep her Pom, she let me adopt her. For about 4 years, I raised German Shepherds, including ones imported from Germany. During that time, my partner and I also trained German Shepards for a sport called Schutzhund. It's a sport that tests a dog's tracking, obedience and protection skills. I also trained dogs of all breeds and mixed breeds obedience, cute little tricks and manners. You know what I'm taking about with manners! haha jk I love teaching dogs new tricks! I’m comfortable taking care of puppies, adults and senior dogs; anxious and timid dogs and with administering oral and topical medications and following special instructions and giving extra attention and longer walks if desired. If your dog has a strict routine, you can be at peace knowing I will follow your dog’s routine exactly how he/she is accustomed to it being. If you choose me as your dog sitter, your dog will be showered with love, time and attention. I love taking your dog for walks, playing in the backyard and cuddling on the couch, whatever your pet likes, needs, and enjoys. I am here to help! In addition to taking care of your pets, I am a freelance writer and artist working from home, and I have a very flexible schedule. We can make plans in advance for me to take care of your pet and I can usually be available on short notice. When I'm pet sitting in your home, your pets are my focus, but if I do need to step out for any reason, I'll be sure your pets are safe, happy and your home is secure. I'll leave your pets loved, and your home clean for when you return.
About: I think that animals make the world a better place. I’m committed to giving them wonderful care and and a friendly, warm embrace every time! I am currently retired and enjoy spending my free time spoiling my animals and others. Animals are better than humans. I take my dog for multiple walks a day. I go out of my way to ensure that the pets feel safe and comfortable in my presence. That’s what means the most to me.
“Gloria did a fantastic job with my 2 cats while I was away on a bicycling vacation. She sent pictures and kept me updated on her arrival and departure times. I will definitely use her services again”
About: I’ve always grown up around cats and dogs; mostly tortoise shell cats, a few adopted strays, and a husky respectively. Most recently I’ve taken care of pit bulls, a malinois, two sibling Jack Russel’s, westies, and an elderly doberman and corgi; to name a few. I always try to keep a calm demeanor, even with high energy dogs. I’ve learned this is paramount when faced with a dog or cat that might have some trust issues or is just generally nervous. Under no circumstance have I been forceful or aggressive, leaning more towards listening and learning from what the dog’s behavior/body language is trying to convey. I’m available for house-sitting on weekends and most weekdays. I am available for daily walks each day of the week before 5:30pm and after 7pm I try my best to be attentive and to honor outside time, even if it seems evident they are getting a bit bored or restless.
About: I have owned dogs my whole life, and I have one at the moment. Knowing this, you can probably tell I am well trained for the job and that I love animals. I will play with your energetic pup, or I will cuddle with your lazy seniors! I am home 24/7, allowing me to pay full attention, and I am willing to take your dog for walks as much as needed. There are no cats or children in my home for your dog to worry about, but I do have a dog of my own. I work from home full time :) This allows me to pay close attention to your pup & ensure they have the best, most eventful stay! I have a fenced yard & another dog that your pup can hang out with. My dog sleeps in bed with me, but if putting them in a crate is preferred, I will do so.

About: I had two labradors when I was young. I helped take care of them, walk them and play with them. They taught me the meaning of true love! I’ve taken care of my daughter’s German Shepherd for 2+ years, helping train him, walk, feed and play with him. Such a love bug! I love being around dogs! I work until 315 everyday but am available after that M-Fri. I also can do 730-8am some days. Saturday and Sunday I have more availability that can be discussed. I will follow any instructions you leave. I will walk your dog on a leash if needed or let them out in your yard, whatever is preferred. I’ll play with them with their toys and give them lots of pets and love. I’ll do whatever is necessary to give you peace of mind that your fur baby is well taken care of!

“My cat friends and I give Amanda five stars! She was very thorough and conscientious and made me feel they were in good hands. I definitely will ask for her assistance in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Royal
We had such a wonderful experience with Deanna! This was our first time using her, and from the moment we met, I felt 100% comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. You can immediately tell how much she genuinely loves dogs and how caring she is with them. It was so nice to be able to go away and truly relax, knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We are so thankful to have finally found someone we can trust and will absolutely be using Deanna again!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Mount Royal 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!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
