“Our pets immediately took to Alisha! She took such good care of Maze and Sadie that Sadie waited for her to show up the next day after we got home. Will definitely book her again”
“We had Andrea dog and house sit for 8 days and we couldn’t be happier. Our home was exactly as we left it and most importantly our pup was happy and well cared for. We will definitely use Andrea again.”
“If I could rate Keyren 100 stars I would. Very impressed with the service. We used her to stay over at our house and to make sure our cat received her daily medication. We were super nervous because we’ve never left her with anyone before but within the first day I was completely at ease. Keyren followed instructions to a T, sent daily updates and let us know each time the medicine was done so we wouldn’t worry. She left our house looking exactly as we had left it. I one million percent will be using Keyren again and my stresses about travelling for long periods of time have vanished. Thank you so much Keyren!”
“Tamra did a great job looking after our two older dogs - one of whom needs a bit more special, individualized attention. I really appreciated how she took time to truly understand their needs and our routines. While we were gone, she took care of them very well - ensuring they got the walks they needed, their meds, and also spent time putting the dogs through their physio exercises. We will definitely be calling Tamra again.”
“Dale and Lauren were wonderful. My mind was at ease knowing my girls were in great care so I could enjoy my time away. I got detailed updates and my girls seemed happy in their care! I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others 🤗”
“Ryan dog sat and house sat for us for 12 days while we were on vacation. He communicated with me on a regular basis, providing updates and photos of the dogs. Bruno unfortunately developed a GI issue during the sit, but Ryan quite capably managed it with the probiotics that I left him, and kept me up to date on his health. When we returned, the dogs were happy and healthy, and the house and garden and my indoor plants were clean, watered and well cared for. Ryan even washed the sheets before leaving the house. I also noticed that he descaled my kettle for me! He is an amazing house and pet sitter, and we are so happy with the care he took with our dogs and our home.”
“We decided last minute to head out for Thanksgiving weekend and had Julia stay in our home and look after our slightly needy older cat. Julia was excellent!!! She came a few days before to meet Sophie and right away Sophie liked her. And that says a lot cause Sophie is very fussy Her communication was excellent providing pictures and information about how Sophie was doing. Every night she provided this. I would definitely have Julia stay again in a heartbeat ! Which might be soon !! Thanks Julia !!”
“Hailey was an absolute delight. From the moment I met her, I felt confident she was the perfect person to care for my fur baby. She connected with my dog immediately, and my dog did not want to leave her side. Dogs are a great judge of character, and it was clear right away that Hailey is kind, trustworthy, and caring. Her communication throughout the stay was excellent, and she regularly sent updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. My dog absolutely adored her and was genuinely sad to see her leave. I would not hesitate to hire Hailey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Katherin was an amazing sitter for our Labrador, Blake. She is incredibly caring, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Her communication was excellent. She responded quickly to messages and kept us informed about how Blake was doing each day. It was clear from the updates that Blake was having a wonderful time and receiving plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Katherin to anyone looking for a trustworthy”
About: I am a kind and caring person who has been living with dogs for three years. I am patient and willing to give love to any dog and make them happy and living healthy. Contact me if you are interested. I am a dog walker and pet sitter, offering dog walks, drop-in visits, and in-home sitting. I do not offer boarding. Since I do not work another job, I am available throughout the day and can fully dedicate my time to the pets in my care. I have hands-on experience caring for my own two dogs — one is 9 years old and the other is 4 years old — so I understand dogs with different energy levels and routines, including senior dogs. For dog walks, I have a spacious SUV (Acura RDX), which allows me to safely transport dogs when needed to nearby parks for longer walks and enrichment. Outdoor activities are always arranged with the owner’s consent, and safety is my top priority. I care for every dog as if they were my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions for walks, feeding, and routines. Safety is my top priority, so dogs stay on leash and are closely supervised. Outdoor activities or transportation are only done with the owner’s consent, and I make sure pets feel comfortable, calm, and well cared for.
“Shaelynn was our literal angel for our two fur babies. We couldn’t have asked for anyone more relatable and tolerable of our puppies. We booked Shae last minute and had a whole 4-page information document prepared for her on our two dogs. Not only did Shae enthusiastically sit through our long explanation and walk through of the house, but she also sat the entire time with our clingy Ms Peanut and endured her constant paws of affection. We came back to two puppies who were reluctant to leave Shae. Thank you so much for being the absolute gem that you are Shae! We can’t wait to have you again soon”
About: I’ve been walking dogs for about a year and have had dogs of my own for the past 14 years. I have experience dog sitting and caring for everyone from energetic puppies to slower paced seniors. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, and fully support stopping to sniff every single tree. My schedule is currently very flexible, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop ins, and plenty of time with your pup. Most of my days already involve walking anyway, so having a dog join me just makes them better! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow your instructions closely, stick to their usual routine, and make sure they get plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your pet’s needs, and always happy to send updates and photos so you know they’re in good hands!
“Graeme was an amazing dog sitter for us. He was very kind and communicated well with us. We loved the photos and the videos that he would send us each day. We could tell that our dog really loved him and felt comfortable with him. We hope we can have him dog sit for us in the future!”
“Julia was such a great house sitter and dog sitter for our large breed dog. She came over ahead of time to meet him and check out the house. She sent daily photos and updates and I never once had a concern. Such a great gal and I would absolutely hire her again!”
About: I have been looking after dogs since I was a teenager, and it is something I genuinely enjoy doing, as well as helping as many pets as possible get the care and exercise they need. That is the only reason I signed up on Rover. I have two very loved and well taken care of dogs myself. I am currently working Monday through Friday, 8am-4pm, but I am available for evening walks or play sessions, as well as weekend walks, drop-ins, or dog-sitting. I take the care of your pet very seriously, as if they are my own fur baby. I am aware of dog’s behaviour/body language and will always take that into account during my interactions with your pet. I have experience with feeding, training, giving medications, crating and of course playing with dogs, and their safety and trust is my top priority.
“Andreea was absolutely wonderful! Frequent communication and she took great care of our kittens. There’s no one better to leave your pets with. Our kitties are looking forward to their next booking with her!”

We are very happy with the pet/house sitting from Micahl. We received the pictures and updates that we asked for and the pups as well as our house were in great shape when we got home. Will definitely look to book Micahl again and highly recommend to anyone who has cuddly needy pups that are spoiled for attention.
Lisa was absolutely amazing with our boy whilst we were on vacation. She has a genuine love for pets and takes care of them as if they’re her own. She asks great questions during the meet and greet to understand your pets needs and likes. She sent us regular updates with little messages and photos which was very much appreciated. We even came back to a lovely clean house. Highly recommend, we will definitely be using her again 👍👍👍
After other theories for our cat fell through, we messaged Robert on shorter notice than anyone would probably recommend! Communication was great and he took it in stride. I wouldn’t consider our cat too high-maintenance, but she is kind of quirky. He worked with her and the regular updates showed they were becoming friends by the time we returned. She clearly did well and we won’t hesitate to book him again for future feline needs. Thank you!
Leaving a very senior dog with someone new can be stressful, but Kristen made the whole experience so much easier. From the beginning, she was warm, kind, and super communicative, which really helped put my mind at ease. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos while we were away, and it was so reassuring to see how comfortable and happy our dog was with her. Our dog also liked her instantly at the meet and greet, which says a lot. You can tell Kristen genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. On top of that, she treated our home with so much respect and left everything spotless when we returned. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our dog and would absolutely trust her to look after him again without hesitation.
Absolutely amazing sitter! Dale is always on time, treated my dogs like his own, and paid close attention to all their needs. Dale stayed with my two anxious fur babies for several overnights in my home and I swear my house was cleaner than when I left! I loved getting updates every morning and evening—it gave me such peace of mind. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Honestly, I almost don’t want to share how great he is because he may get too busy and I will have difficulty booking him in the future. Highly recommend!
Amie was amazing. We used her for in-house pet sitting for an 10-day trip and throughout our time away she kept us updated on daily dog news and happenings around our home. I always worry that my male bulldog is going to be too much but Amie quickly established a bond and within hours he was snuggled next to her on the couch, asking for pets. We will definitely be using her services again and will recommend her to friends and family.
Thank you Chantelle for taking such great care of Billie! You are the kindest, most considerate and capable dog sitter. I was able to go on a holiday and not have to worry about my dog, she had a great holiday with you! Love the great pictures and updates every day, they are amazing! So grateful for all that you do, it is so appreciated!
We booked Kathleen to house and cat sit our 2 cats, a Bengal who is fussy and shy and a Savannah who can be standoff-ish with strangers. After a few days, Kathleen was able to gain our cats trust, sending us updates and pictures along the way. She demonstrated a desire to connect with our pets and it was a relief to know they were in good hands. Our home was also well taken care of and it was left tidy when we arrived home. I would recommend Kathleen for your house and pet sitting needs.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Airdrie 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!
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.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 Airdrie walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Airdrie 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 .
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
