“I just returned home and it usually takes Lola some time to warm up to me, she came right out and has been calm. I loved how Felisha contacted me and even took photos of Lola. Thank you so much, Felisha!”
“Mackenzie was wonderful! We could tell by the photos that both cats enjoyed her visits. One of our cat is a bit of a princess and didn't eat her first two meals. Mackenzie called to report the issue right away and I assure her that the cat would be fine as long as she got her meds!”

About: I have worked at a dog daycare/boarding/training facility for over 6 years in the past and I have 1 dog of my own. Taking care of dogs has been a lifelong passion of mine and I believe every dog deserves the best care for their specific needs. This means whether your pet needs a person who will take them for a run, someone to meander with them as they take in every smell, or anything in between, I’m here for them! As a summer seasonal worker in my off season, I have plenty of time I would love to spending taking care of your pouches! Typically, I am able to schedule bookings for anytime between 8am-5pm, as I still need time to spend quality time with loved ones. Weekend availability can be a little different, as I often like to do something special with family or friends, but any off time I’d have I would love to fill with visiting my doggie friends. Following every owners’ rules is my number one priority. You know what works for you, your dog, and your home and I am more than happy to follow your guidance. That means your word is what I will follow, and I’m not afraid to ask questions if I need clarification on anything.
About: Hi, I'm Lucy! I'm a lover of all things small, cute, and fluffy. I've grown up around yorkies, pomeraninans, and other small breeds so I know them best - their unique, sweet, loving, and sometimes yappy souls hold a special place in my heart. ;) I love and respect these kind creatures with everything in me! My rescue dog ended up being pregnant! So I learned how to care for 4 pom ups from birth. I love to connect and care for animals with the same attention, warmth, and kindness I would want for my own. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets for vacation, so I want to create a safe space in my care that you and your dogs feel comfortable with! I send lots of detailed updates and photos of your furbaby :) My profile is new! So I would be honored to earn your trust to be your sitter - i'm happy to set up a meet and greet before we lock in the real dates to make you more comfortable if you prefer! I work full time remotely, so I have flexibility to pop in as needed. I have full weekend availability and can usually do mornings and evenings on weekdays, or afternoons if you are nearby. When in a clients home, I treat it with extreme respect. I tread lightly and only come in to care for your pets and take boundaries seriously as this is your personal space, your comfort is my priority!
“Anna has been absolutely exceptional with our dogs! We’ve been using her for a few months now, and she is extremely responsible and gets back to us very quickly. She provides great feedback and we couldn’t feel more lucky to have her taking care of our babies.”
About: Hi I’m Abby. I am looking for a fun and active hobby, dog walking seems to fill the niche. I bring a few years of experience working with dogs of all temperaments, from high-energy pups to strong pullers and reactive behavior. With a solid understanding of dog training techniques, I ensure safe, enjoyable walks tailored to each dog's needs. My goal is to provide peace of mind for pet owners and happy, well-exercised dogs. I currently work part-time night shift, which gives me plenty of availability during the day to care for your pets’ needs. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to coordinate timing to best fit your routine. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, litter box or potty care, and exercise or playtime. I’m attentive each individual needs, whether caring for cats, dogs, or other pets, adjusting my approach to keep them comfortable, safe, and stress-free.
“Nicole is dependable and great with our dogs and anything else we may need while away. She is fun and a great communicator. Can't say enough great things. She has be caring for our dogs for tears now. We are very grateful.”
“Maria did an awesome job taking care of my 2 cats while I was out of town. She is professional, courteous, and caring. My cats are feral cats that I took in a year ago. They are scared of people and run from anyone but me. By the time I came back from my trip, Maria was playing with them and giving them massages. I would have never guessed this was possible. In addition, I felt comforted with the daily updates and pictures she sent. I highly recommend using Maria if you are looking for a caring person that you can trust with your pets and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
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.
“Great job! Thanks for looking after the calico sisters. Calico says you were wonderful. Cassandra says you can come back and she might let you pet her next time. Thank you.”
About: Ive had pets since i was 8, i used to help train my neighbors dogs, and i’ve been working as a full time marine mammal trainer for the last 4 years….I also have a pretty cute cat if my own!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always loved being around them. From small lap dogs to large breeds, I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends and family have often trusted me with their pets because I treat every dog with the same care, attention, and affection I’d want for my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Caring for pets is already built into the way I live. I’ve had dogs my whole life, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention are second nature to me. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make sure every pet gets the care, exercise, and companionship they deserve while their owner is away My goal is to make your pet feel like their routine hasn’t changed, even while you’re away. I follow the instructions you provide, stick to feeding and walk schedules, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment where they can relax and be themselves. At my home, I also have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and burn off energy under supervision. I know how much we all miss our dogs when we’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Sarah was wonderful! She spent the hour taking excellent care of my cats, including playing with them with their favorite toys. She sent wonderful pictures and videos, and I will be booking with her again!”

Megan provided exceptional care for my two cats. She was prompt and consistent with her twice-daily visits. She was patient with my grumpy cat and successfully coaxed my extremely shy cat out to eat. Her daily photo updates gave me great peace of mind. I returned home to clean litter boxes and a tidy house. Highly recommended!
Deirdre really pays attention to the kitties in her care while Their Human is away! She always sends updates with any-everything I need to know. And photos to show what the furry ones are up to while I’m gone. I would recommend her highly and hope to see her again:).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sylvan Lake is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,978 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sylvan Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sylvan Lake. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
