Cerra did an amazing job! She was very accommodating last minute and was willing to come meet Abby before so she could see her beforehand. Abby is very cautious of people she doesn’t know but warms up fast and Cerra did a great job interacting with her. I would recommend her to others and book again if ever needed :)

Stephanie was quick to respond and upon our first meeting we could tell she is a warm and caring person. She spent time getting to know us and our cat during the meet and greet. She was very comfortable with him and covered all the detailed instructions I gave her. She sent photos and gave details during each visit. This was our first time using Rover and she made it a great experience.

About: I have been a dog owner for a majority of my life and I have done what ever is needed to take care of them. I will feed, play, bathe, walk, give medicine, and take outside to potty. Essentially whatever is asked for me I will do. I currently volunteer with therapy dogs in a hospital and I love it! Would love to bring my skills and passion to animal owners every where. I do work full time however, weekends I am free including Friday evening and I know that may be hard to get as people travel on the weekend. I live in a safe and dog friendly neighborhood! I have a big home they can explore in. I truly watch the animals as when they move I move.

About: I have experience with dogs of various breeds and ages ranging, who are most often from shelters or rescues. While I have 2 dogs of my own (shelter & foster), I have 5 years of experience fostering dogs who come directly from their rescue location who often need adjustment/bonding time, medical care & basic training (potty, crate, walking, etc.). The fosters I have cared for range from ages 3mo-8 years, and I am comfortable with senior care and rd ministering medication. I have experience with dogs who are more reactive. My work schedule allows me to be available during the week in the early morning or evening. During the weekends I am able to fill in afternoon slots for walks or a home visit! I have raised dogs with both fenced in and partially fenced in yards. Their off-leash time in the yard required supervision and thorough training to keep them engaged in staying in the yard. I walk my dogs on a leash and crate them when I leave the house.

About: Hey there! I'm a lifelong dog lover and work-from-home dog dad who understands that your dog isn't "just a pet"—they're family. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and has an amazing time while you're away, so you can travel with complete peace of mind. I've had dogs my entire life and currently share my home with two energetic, incredibly friendly dogs who love making new friends. They know how to burn off energy with playtime, but they're just as happy relaxing on the couch for a nap afterward. If your dog enjoys socializing, they'll have built-in playmates to keep them entertained throughout the day. Because I work from home, your dog will rarely be left alone. My flexible schedule allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, play sessions, meals on time, and plenty of affection. Whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer or prefers a slower pace with lots of cuddles, I'll tailor their care to fit their personality and routine. I'm also comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and with special needs. I have hands on experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I am adept at administering medications, including pills and injections, and I've cared for dogs with sensitive stomachs, digestive issues, and mobility concerns. I'll carefully follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special routines so your dog receives the same level of care they're used to at home. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your best friend. I'll treat your dog like one of my own and your home with the same respect and care I'd expect for mine. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can see all the fun your pup is having while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work from home standard Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm hours. I go to dance classes Tuesday nights, Church on Sundays and spend the rest of my time with my beautiful wife and our dogs. My free time outside of those commitments I can dedicate to taking care of your doggos. I can also take frequent breaks from work to keep dogs entertained and take them to the bathroom if needed often. I am best situated to have your pets in my home. While they are there, they have couch access and access to multiple rooms. I have gates throughout the house to sequester any wandering troublemakers or for those that need more supervision. I have a fenced in yard for amazing playtimes, and my subdivision has an elementary school with beautiful greenspace for long walks and adventure. I also work in your home, so I will be there if you are booking with me! I make sure to clean up after myself and the pet and maintain proper respect and morals whilst in your home. I just need to have a decent internet connection so I can work during the weekdays.

About: I’m a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 5 years of hands-on experience working in a specialty hospital, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and medical needs. I’m trained to notice subtle changes in behavior or health and can handle medications, special diets, and extra attention with confidence. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. My schedule is consistent, and I work five days a week, which means I’m available for drop-in visits on weekends and dog walking on weekdays after 4 PM. This allows me to provide reliable evening walks during the week and more flexible, attentive care on weekends when I have additional availability. I’ll always communicate clearly and make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. As a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 5 years of experience in a specialty hospital, I’m held to high professional and ethical standards every day. Pet owners trust me with their animals’ health and safety in a clinical setting, and I bring that same level of responsibility and attention to detail into pet sitting. I’m trained to handle emergencies, follow care instructions precisely, and recognize when something isn’t right. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in capable, reliable, and compassionate hands.

About: I have rescued three dogs from the humane society ranging from 2 months to 5 years in age. I have done a lot of research on what is and is not good for most dogs as far as diet and nutrition. I am in good athletic shape and can handle any size dog confidently and know how to deal with situations calmly and safely if they arise. My dog is not just my pet he's part of my family and I would treat yours the same. I own a small local landscaping company leaving me plenty of time to focus on my passion for animals. I hope to be able to solely focus on pet care soon. In the clients home, I like to familiarize the animal with me be taking it for a long walk. I also follow the owners schedule for walks, feeding and medications. I focus on giving the animals attention, affection, play and exercise. I will keep your animal safe, happy, and healthy.

About: I grew up helping train my grandparents’ corgi, and I still help my sister with her dog when she’s at work — letting him out, feeding him, and taking him for walks. So I’m very comfortable around dogs and can care for them when needed. That said, I naturally connect with cats and prefer working with them, so my services are focused on calm, low‑stress cat care. I work full‑time from home, which gives me a very steady routine and plenty of flexibility for pet care. I can easily step out for feedings, litter scooping, or home check‑ins throughout the day. I build visits around your pet’s normal schedule so they stay comfortable and relaxed. Evenings and weekends are usually open, so I’m able to give consistent attention and keep your pet’s routine running smoothly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress‑free as possible. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, and any medications exactly the way you outline. I spend quiet time with your cat so they feel comfortable, whether that means playtime, brushing, or simply sitting nearby while they warm up on their own terms. I can also collect mail or some small house stuff as needed!

We highly recommend working with Breanna ! We feel so fortunate to have had Breanna care for our dog while we were on vacation . You can clearly tell she has a knack with animals and they are drawn to her. Breanna was so great about including the photo when doing the check-in with our dog. We hope we are lucky enough that Breanna is available when we vacation again!

About: Hello, my name is Tosha! As a lifelong animal lover and sitter for 3+ years, I understand your pet is family. From energetic hikes with big dogs to quiet cuddles with shy cats, I ensure they're happy and safe. I'm experienced with meds, complex feeding schedules, and love creating fun, safe adventures for pets, just like I would for my own 3 cats and 2 dogs. Let's chat about giving your furry friend the best care! :) I work a standard 8 am-5 pm job, Monday through Friday. I don't mind staying the night during weekdays. I also do not mind coming before work in the morning to show love and care for your pets, as well as coming over after work for as long as you need. The weekends I'm free 24/7. I view pet care as a privilege that requires both a compassionate heart and a vigilant eye. My approach is rooted in providing a 'home-away-from-home' experience where your pet feels safe, seen, and truly loved. I don’t just offer supervision; I offer companionship. By honoring their unique personality and strictly following their established routines, I ensure they remain happy and stress-free while you are away. Your pet’s safety is my priority, and their happiness is my passion.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since about 8 years old. When I was a junior in high school I started working at a local vet clinic. Once I graduated I continued my education at Kansas State University to peruse an Animal Science degree. I have a very flexible schedule therefore I am able to give your babies the attention, love and potty breaks that they need while you’re away. Animals deserve unconditional love and respect. I know how to handle nervous timid animals and have the patience to work with them as well as catering to whatever special needs your baby has.

About: While I haven’t owned a dog personally, I’ve spent years around friends and families pets and love spending time with animals. I’m responsible, attentive, and committed to keeping dogs safe and happy. I’m currently working a part-time job so my availability varies day to day, but I make sure every visit is reliable and consistent! I prioritize the safety of every pet in my care. I make sure dogs are always secured on a leash or in a safe, enclosed area. I watch for hazards like busy streets, other animals, or unsafe items in the home, and I handle every dog gently and respectfully. I know your dog is an important member of your family. I follow instructions carefully, communicate any concerns, and provide updates during visits so you can relax knowing your pet is well cared for. Whether I’m caring for a pet in their home or walking them outside, I ensure calm, positive, and comfortable environment. I respect your home, clean up after your pet, and maintain routines to make your dog feel secure and happy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Sylvan Lake on Rover is $29.97 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 3,972 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Sylvan Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sylvan Lake stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Sylvan Lake 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 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Sylvan Lake with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sylvan Lake. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
