“Nicole was great with Maya! She kept us updated with how Maya was doing and gave her her medicine at the right times and even watered our plants while we were away. This is the first time we had Nicole watch our dog and stay at our home and are going to book her again!”
About: I’m Kaylee! I am currently a Sophomore at UD studying Wildlife Conservation and Ecology. I have loved animals all my life and I want to dedicate my life to taking care of them and protecting those in need. I have experience with animal care since I was very young. I have worked as a pet bather at a grooming salon and I have worked at a dog kennel! I am very excited to meet your animals and take the best care of them! I am a Sophomore in college and I have a lot of free time. My free days are The weekends, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I may also be able to work in some Tuesdays and Thursdays. I will make sure that your animals feel safe and are protected while you are away. I bring happy energy to hopefully cheer them up while their family is away!
“I needed a sitter with short notice and David was able and willing to come meet my 3 dogs within hours of contacting him. He was kind and gentle with my boys and knew how to approach one of them who is fearful. He listened carefully to my instructions and asked when something wasn’t clear. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with him when we met the same day he stayed overnight. He stayed longer when we were going to be home later which I appreciated. When we got back, he left a kind note and some chocolates for us. I would hire David again!”
“Greg was a fantastic pet sitter. He stayed overnight in our home with our three small dogs during our vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was on time, great with communication, and consistently sent detailed updates and photos that kept us at ease. Our dogs loved him. Our senior dog with medical needs received extra patience and care. Greg followed every instruction, left our home immaculate, and went the extra mile to give each dog plenty of love. We’ll definitely be using him again in the future, and I recommend Greg to anyone looking in-home pet sitting.”
“Shania is absolutely wonderful! She has stayed overnight at my house with my puppy, Summer, on two separate occasions, and I couldn’t recommend her more! Her communication is amazing. She always sends pictures and updates, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. What I appreciate most is how sweet, patient, and attentive she is with Summer. Shania is so great about giving her plenty of playtime, attention, and love. It’s so reassuring knowing Summer is in such good hands and being cared for like she’s her own. I’m so grateful to have found Shania and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!”
“Lizzie was amazing! We had never left our dog alone before and having her stay with him while we got married gave us such peace of mind. She sent amazing updates and photos throughout her stay which made us feel really good to see how happy he was. She even left adorable treats for Hank to enjoy! Can’t recommend her enough!”

This makes us available 7 days a week! We are willing to follow any schedule your furry friend needs! Whether it’s daily walks, cuddles, or crate training, we got it. We monitor pets with care and are very open with constant communication and daily photos of your pets .
“Gabby was absolutely amazing! She took wonderful care of our home and pets while we were away. Everything was spotless when we returned, and our animals were happy and clearly well‑loved. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend!”
“Lucy took very good care of our dogs for 3 days. She was home all the time while we were out as one of our dogs cannot stay alone at home. She kept us updated with lots of pictures. We’ll definitely keep in touch with her for pet sitting in future.”
“Whitney did a great job taking care of my dog & cat for a few days while I was away. She was very responsive and I came home to two happy babies. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and household pets my whole life, and I specialize in cat care! I’m dedicated to keeping your pets comfortable and safe. I have full-time availability to care for your best furry friends! I’m currently enrolled in college courses for the fall semester which I can attend remotely during a booking if necessary. Also, if you need any plants taken care of during my visit I'm more than happy to provide! I have experience with keeping a multitude of flowers and herbs. I have 3 cats in my home currently and they are all very sociable with other animals! I have a fenced-in backyard with lots of space!
“Alexis stayed at my house with my anxious senior dog, Lily, over a four-day weekend, and she exceeded all my expectations! She took wonderful care of Lily and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout my trip. Best of all, Lily was relaxed and happy when I returned home, which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Alexis and will definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of dogs, mainly small to medium because I had small dogs until recently. I sometimes Foster for a few rescues as well.

My 2 little dogs are laid back and sleep most of the day. I have a fenced in yard and have a playpen as well if needed. I work from home 8-5 and can keep an eye on my furry friends during the day and available after 5pm and weekends
About: 🐾 Your pet’s new favorite bestie! ✨NICU nurse with a BIG love for animals 🐶 Dog mom to Chewy & Finnegan 💕 Overnight stays, drop-ins & dog walks 📸 Plenty of updates, pictures & extra cuddles! Hi, I’m Meg! Your pet’s care, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ve spent years caring for dogs for friends and family, from overnight stays to quick drop-ins, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality! As a full-time NICU nurse, I’m responsible, attentive, and detail-oriented. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I’ll treat yours like one of my own. Whether your pup needs a long walk, playtime, a little extra attention, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ve got them covered! 🐾💗 I currently work 3 twelve hours shifts a week. This leaves me with four days off throughout the week to check on your pups. My schedule is day shift work 7a-7p. I frequently walk my dogs at home along with other family members dogs. I have plenty of experience whether they’re calm and need a slow walk, or if they need the walk to get their energy out. I am also capable of feeding, medicating, and playing/spending time with your dog.
About: I have both an endless amount of patience for slower moving furry friends, as well as boundless energy for pets that need a little extra zoom to tire out! I have pet sat everything from rambunctious puppies and senior cats and dogs, to crested geckos and rabbits, so no animal is off the table! I have always loved and respected animals and I cannot wait to treat your pet like family! While I am on the job hunt, I have lots of free time throughout the day to walk your dog, hangout with your cat, and feed your pets! Depending on the service I'm booked for, I will arrive to your home ready for anything! I have shoes with great traction so I'm ready for an afternoon hike with your dogs, and I'm an avid reader so I'd be more than happy to hang on your couch with your cat for some snuggles! I have gone through some minor trainings at animal shelters for introducing myself to animals as well as training on what behaviors to recognize in dogs while out for walks to ensure a safe and fun time by all, so you can rest assured I will not put your pet into an uncomfortable situation while they are in my care. I am happy to follow all rules and guidelines you set for your home (I am usually a no-shoes inside kind of person so that rule will be followed regardless unless otherwise advised). And no need to worry about any additional "weird" requests on how your pet likes something done; I used to have a dog who wanted his dinner to be "cooked" on the stove or else he wouldn't touch it so nothing is too weird/silly for me to play along with. Overall I want your pet to have a pleasant and fulfilling time while spent with me and for you to have peace of mind while they are in my care.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for and handling a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals like gerbils. I currently have a 6-year-old Pit Bull/Husky mix and a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable with everyday pet care, different personalities, and keeping pets on their normal routines. My dog is dog-friendly, playful, and loves having a buddy around. I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular feeding schedule, provide medications as directed, and make sure they get plenty of playtime, attention, walks, and enrichment. I know every pet has their own routine and quirks, so I’m also happy to accommodate specific care instructions to help them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. I work remote and can currently take weekday or weekend appointments depending on when they are booked. This allows me to have time to walk, feed, and give your pet extra attention if needed. I have a fenced in yard and dog friendly home, my cat keeps to herself upstairs when dog sitting and my dog if a temperament and size match will keep you dog company of course with supervision:)
“Lisa was incredibly thoughtful and thorough when watching Zelda for a long weekend. I have never left her with anyone other than family and I was nervous, but Lisa put me completely at ease. From the first conversation I had with her, Lisa asked questions about Zelda's behavior, what she is comfortable with, and made sure she had all the information she needed to fully care for my dog. I would absolutely recommend Lisa and will be using her again!”

Karis watched my dog and two ducks when I was away for 5 nights out of the country! She is extremely reliable and I felt comfortable on vacation knowing my babies were in good hands! My dog loves her! This is my 3rd time using Karis and it won’t be the last! She’s absolutely great! 😊
Nicole was great with Maya! She kept us updated with how Maya was doing and gave her her medicine at the right times and even watered our plants while we were away. This is the first time we had Nicole watch our dog and stay at our home and are going to book her again!
Nicole is a wonderful trustworthy person. Very kindhearted and caring. She stayed several nights and took very good care of ours pups. She stays in touch with photos and texts. She also goes beyond her duties offering to get your mail, packages and take out weekly trash can without being asked! We would definitely use her services again in the future! We highly recommend Nicole! Sincerely, Nancy and Dave

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Atco is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $43 per night. 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 4,559 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Atco. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans 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 Atco walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Atco 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.
Tip: 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!
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 Atco 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Atco. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
