“My sweet boy is always in great hands when Kade watches him! He is working thru some medical issues and had a lot of medicine needs and Kade always gets them administered and still has time for a little cuddle.”
“Grace was awesome! She was so helpful with toby, always sending me picture updates of her drop in with Toby. I will definitely be reaching out to her again with any help I need with Toby:-)”
“Loved having Katherine watch our three kitties! She gave us great daily updates and plenty of pictures of them while we were out of town. Definitely would recommend, wish I could gate-keep! ;)”
“Being a new rover user, I am extremely pleased. Lila was prompt, professional, friendly and attentive. She responded right away every time and let me know everything that was happening with my babies when I was away and sent multiple photos which I loved. She is definitely someone to keep in mind when I need someone to give my babies some attention and care. I also sent her info to another rover user (friend of mine) as a back up provider since she is someone to rely on. Thank you so much Lila.”
“Elizabeth is so great with my dog! She is very responsive, friendly, and I knew he was in good hands. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future :)”
“Jeff provided multiple days of feeding, cuddle time, walks and loving attention for our dog. The photos he sent helped us feel at ease knowing our boy was safe and happy. We appreciated his responsibility and updates!”
“Sophie did an amazing job with Pepper! Pepper is a people lover dog and can come off very intense. Sophie was kinda to my dog and I could tell by the way Pepper acted when I came home. Sophie was flexible, communicated well, took photos, did all that i asked when it came to Peppers needs, and gave great notes throughout her time with Pepper. I really appreciate you Sophie for checking in on my pup while i was gone and showing her love! I would highly recommend you to anyone. Once again thank you☺️”
“Kirby is the best sitter we’ve ever had for our pup! She treats our dog like her own and really puts in the effort to make sure our dog is well cared for and loved. We never had a problem with her visits. Always secures the house before leaving and always writes the funniest and perfectly detailed report cards. Please hire Kirby as your sitter. You won’t regret it!”
“Excellent visits! Great communication, sent lots of photos and very interactive with our cats. Flexible with providing care and changing up day to day routine. Absolutely perfect pet sitting experience!”
“Thane sent detailed notes of each visit along with photos. Our cat usually takes a while to warm up to people but the two of them really seemed to hit it off! We’ll definitely be looking to book Thane again in the future.”
“This was our first time using services through Rover and we are so glad we did! Cat was absolutely amazing through the entire process keeping us well informed at each drop in. She was incredibly patient with our fur babies and their unique personalities, even befriending our shy boy in record time. Thank you so much, Cat!”
“Robbi did absolutely amazing! She’s so sweet & my cats absolutely loved her from the moment she stepped in the door lol. In fact when i came home from my trip they acted like they didn’t know me 😂!! She sent plenty of pictures, she communicated everything with me, and she followed the list of things i provided! I definitely would book her again 10/10 💕!”
About: I may not have a lot of pet experience but when I love something, I do it 110% I work full time in mental health /substance use and as you can imagine, my day to day is extremely stressful and I talk to rude people with a smile on my face. But around animals, it’s a real smile. They love us so unconditionally and do so much for us, how can you not give your pet the world and them some after that? All I want to do is make sure every animal feels love, safe and happy. I work 4, 10 hour days a week and 3 days off. I can easily squeeze in multiple drop ins, walks, and house sitting on my days off which are Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays. Even a small overnight could be possible. I also work from home often. Sundays are my guaranteed work from home day so I can find drop in or walk times. As well as house sitting on Sundays! Saturdays, I’m off earlier, clock out by 6:30, so I can definitely squeeze in a night drop in or 2. Monday’s and Tuesdays are my “in office all day” days so I wouldn’t be able to do anything those 2 days, but every other day, I can work something out no problem! I try my best to not break their routine. I have a pretty good understanding of animal body language and I can tell when they are stressed or overwhelmed. Me being a stranger to them, can already have them slightly stressed. So the best thing I can do for them is to continue doing what they already know.
“Danielle was fantastic for when we needed a sitter last minute. Very thorough, great communication/ updates, and took great care of our dog. Would recommend and use Danielle again,”
“Caleb was an excellent sitter for my pets! He showed up when he was supposed to each day and communicated perfectly with me. He was flexible, caring and easy to work with. We would definitely use him again!”
“Once again, Steven stepped up when the unexpected happened! I failed to provide the alarm access - and he had to deal with that ALARM sounding and the impact on the kitties. He is always calm and handles all issues with professionalism. Thanks (again!), Steven!”

Sherwood Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sophie was beyond fantastic watching our dog! She is phenomenal at caring for animals and communicated all updates so well! We adored all of the photos and the detailed notes from the drop in visits. I would 100% recommend Sophie to any and all pet owners! We have complete comfort trusting our dog with Sophie. World-class pet care!
Kristina did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Sam while I was away. When I returned home, he was relaxed and happy. I could tell he had been well cared for and he was not stressed from me being gone for 5 days. I will definitely request Kristina for future pet sitting.
Abigail was stellar as always! We are always so happy when she can come in to check on our two cats! She always spends time getting them to play (or to at least make an appearance). She's flexible, friendly, dependable, and we highly recommend her as a kitty checker-inner.
Abby did an incredible job with our two kitties! They can be a bit anxious but Abby made sure to spend ample time with them to make them feel comfortable while we were away. She was also able to give them daily medications without issue! Would highly recommend Abby and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
