“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”
“Cora is a gem. I felt 300% confidence in leaving my very senior cat in her capable hands. Little did I know that not only would Kabuki be exceptionally well looked-after, but also my plants, my books, my Home. Cora went above and beyond and I cannot say enough good things about her!”
“Micahl was one of the best sitters we have ever had. The dogs loved him and he treated them so well. He was extremely responsive while we were away and provided updates about how the fur babies were doing. He was such a pleasure to deal with. I absolutely recommend having him support your furry family members!”
“Kristen offered amazing care for our pup while we were away for over a week. She came ahead of time to get to know us and was so thorough with getting to know our pet and house. 100% trust and so grateful to have met someone so caring, kind and professional.”
“Dale was amazing with our dog Bear! We couldn’t have been more grateful for the excellent care he provided to Bear while we were gone. Dale provided lots of consistent updates and photos which was wonderful as provided peaceful of mind. Dale was extremely professional, caring, went above and beyond and left our place immaculate.”
“Teri is phenomenal. She is punctual and thoughtful and took excellent care of our dogs. One of our dogs is high energy and the other is a 150-lb puppy and she is capable of managing both without issue. I highly recommend Teri!”
“Graeme was great with our boisterous bully - I think Briggs was sad to see us come home he liked Graeme so much! Great communication and took great care of our big guy. Will definitely book with Graeme again.”
“Yan is absolutely wonderful. She stayed at my home for over 20 days when I had to travel for health reasons and took excellent care of my senior cat (15 years old, with kidney disease). She gave him all of his medications (he takes many), washed his bowls daily, cleaned his litter box every day, played with him, and gave him lots of love. She also helped water my plants and, most importantly, kept me updated at all times and sent me lots of photos. It was truly a huge relief for me, and I’m very grateful. I would definitely hire her again in the future, my cat seems to love her!”
About: For the last 14 years I have had dogs in my life, this has become my passion. I have experience with very young puppies to seniors who need a-little extra help up that last stair. Hey! So glad you’re here! This is what I do now, I do not have a full time job, meaning, I have time to give your babies the attention they need. I know if someone was watching my own baby I would want them to care for them well! Now what does that mean? Well, I believe that if you give me the responsibility for caring for one of your family members it’s important I view them as such when they are in my care. I am extremely concerned with providing care that aligns with your wants and what your animal needs. I will work with you with what is expected in terms of care, and communicating frequently with what’s going on
“Absolutely wonderful! We could not have asked for a better dog/house sitter! It was our first time with a house/pet sitter and we were a bit nervous but Kelsey made it a great experience. We’ll definitely call her again in the future.”
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”
“We booked Zubie last minute for a weekend away to pet sit our cat Ellie and dog Bella in our home. They were very well cared for while we were away and it was very clear that she treated them like her own. She shared daily updates with photos and videos which was greatly appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Zubie again!”
“Our very first time using Rover in a super last minute pinch and we couldn’t be happier with Dionne helping us out! She replied fast on a late evening and was able to accommodate our two pups the very next afternoon. Our Doxie can have really bad separation anxiety and Dionne’s calm presence kept her cool and calm. I could tell when we pick her up that she didn’t feel stressed or anxious with us away!! Such a nice feeling and successful first stay with Dionne! The pictures of the pups relaxing with her helped ease any anxiety knowing they were happy and cared for. We would definitely rebook with Dionne again! 10/10”
About: Hey let me tell you a little bit of who I am. You can call me Talvir! I specialize in training big dogs such a cane corso’s, I work with separation anxiety, aggressive behaviour, anxiety triggered aggression, pulling while walking, patience cues, anything and everything correlated with behaviour development. I am extremely proud of what I do and my abilities to deliver on what I promise I say that very confidently. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past 5+ years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. My full time job would be caring for your pet! Daycare drop off and pickup hours are between 7 am and 7 pm. Any time after 7 pm would need to be booked as boarding and pickup for the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. Pick-Up and Drop-Off Policy Please note that pick-up times are based on a 24-hour period from the drop-off time. Any delays beyond the agreed-upon pick-up time will result in additional charges. For every three-hour increment past the scheduled pick-up time, an additional fee equal to 25% of the daily rate will apply. For example, if your daily rate is $50, being three hours late will add $12.50, and six hours late will add $25. Unless otherwise agreed upon in advance, these additional fees will be automatically applied. I live in an acreage with the dog park in the backyard basically, so lots of running around and play time staying here with me and my pet! My pup is very social and loves to have company, friendly to other dogs and shares toys. I have several cameras on at all times all around the property fully securing the property at all times for your pups safety.

“Karen was so punctual, something we really appreciate and Manchas got along well with her. Manchas is a senior dog so we need someone who is willing to be patient with our dog. Thank you Karen.”

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 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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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
- 95% 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.
