“Gabriella was very easy to work with and took fantastic care of our 7 year old Standard Poodle Polly! While we were away for three days we didn't worry at all about Polly as Gabriella sent us photos and maintained communication. We would definitely book Gabriella again! Thank you Gabriella!”
“We have a new puppy and an older dog who just had his remaining eye removed. Both pups required special care and Jodi was just the best! She was here on Easter Sunday and gave us the freedom to go visit family and not take the new pup or recovering dog with us. I would recommend Jodi to anyone who wants excellent care for their fur babies.”
“We really appreciated Andre’s help looking after our mini schnauzer and home while away for a few days. He’s a great communicator and made our short vacation easy knowing our pooch was in good hands.”
“Olga was wonderful. She sent me photos and kept me in the loop with how my dog was doing, My puppy is blind so he’s a bit more work than usual but she was great with him. Highly recommend”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life—growing up with a dog, horse, and cat, and later caring for my own dog from 2009–2013. I’m experienced, gentle, and treat every pet like family. I work up north for CNRL one week on and one week off allowing me time to work on my days off. I would be willing to to work on my days off Unfortunately I live in a condo in Black Diamond which is not pet friendly however I am more than happy to accommodate however I can
About: 🐾 About Me Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and reptiles, and I've spent years pet-sitting for friends and family while always sharing my home with animals of my own. I currently have two cats and 2 dogs, all rescues, and definitely all the best decisions I ever made! :) 🐕 My Experience In addition to caring for my own pets and pet sitting for friends and family, I have volunteered in civilian rescue and transport for high-risk dogs and served as a volunteer cat caregiver with AARCS. 😊 The Rescue of Sally and Her Puppies. I rescued and transported a lot of dogs and cats over the past few years, but the biggest undertaking was helping rescue a mother dog, who we later named Sally, and her 8 one-day-old puppies from a reserve in Alberta during -38°C temperatures. I transported this special fur family to my dog trainer's acreage where we set up a secure, safe, warm area. I learned how to care for them and help with early socialization, structure, and training to prepare them for life with their future families. Every puppy, and Sally herself, has since been adopted into loving, forever homes. Being part of something like this was definitely one of the most meaningful and rewarding experiences of my life! I am in a position with much flexibility and availability in my schedule, allowing me to easily accommodate most booking requests with little advanced notice. ❤️ Your Pet Is Family Every pet parent should have worry-free, stress-free pet care. I will treat your animals with the same love, and your home with the same respect, as I do my own. I understand that every animal, just like people, is unique. I'll take the time to earn their trust, understand their needs, likes, and dislikes, so they will be well cared for, and they will get an abundance of fun and cuddles! Whether we're going for a walk, playing in the yard, or simply keeping each other company while you're away, you will receive photos and messages during our visits so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your fur-baby is in caring, capable hands.
About: [To my regular clients. I have moved a tiny bit east of Cranston from my condo to a townhouse. I am located in Rangeview now which is just a tad east of Seton Hospital and across from South Mahogany. I will see you there next time.🤗 my address is in the info.] Greetings! I am a retired stay at home grandma. I have owned Shih-Tzu/Shih-Tzu Bichon cross for25+ years. After having lost two, Molly to kidney issues and Buddy at 16, Oliver(5) is now my companion. I would love for him to have friends over to play ☺️ He needs some friendly company❤️ As I am retired, I do not work out of my home. On occasion my grand daughters (7/8) or grandson (9) come over, and they love pets. I go for long walks with my own dog most days, so pet sitting/walking fits my life style very well. I have a townhouse with a deck and patio, opening onto a green space. I am located across from a large grassed field and walking paths leading to parks and wetlands. My home is well kept and your pet will have a good combination of rest/activity in a safe and fun environment.
“She truly goes above and beyond. She did everything to make sure my poor girl was comfortable as she was having some anxiety issues and she took every extra step to help her get through it. By the end they were besties… which also eased my mind. Was also a special sprite to come home to a house that was put together and dogs that were happy and excited. She will be permanent and regular”
“It was clear our dog loved Shelby the first time she arrived on our doorstep! When we returned home from our vacation, the house was just as we left it and our dog had obviously had plenty of attention, exercise, and stimulation while we were away. Shelby was also very helpful with additional household tasks like feeding our aquatic pets, gathering mail and parcels, and checking our fences and gates to ensure the yard was always secure.”
About: I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming, administering treats, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. What sets me apart is my patience and ability to recognize changes in a pet’s behaviour and needs. I’m especially attentive to pets who may be nervous or take time to warm up to new people. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’m also happy to maintain their usual routines and provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. I’m flexible and can accommodate different pet-care schedules based on your pet’s routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on the booking. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific schedule and make sure they receive consistent care and attention while you’re away. I always make safety, comfort, and trust my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications if required, and playtime, while carefully following the owner’s instructions. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel comfortable and supervised. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape routes are secure. I also pay close attention to pets’ behaviour and surroundings and will communicate with the owner promptly if I notice anything unusual. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners can feel comfortable and confident while they’re apart.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I recently moved to Canada from Ukraine, while my own dog, Oskar, stayed back home with my family. I miss him every day, and caring for other dogs brings me so much joy and helps me feel connected to what I love most. I’ve spent years looking after Oskar as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always treat them with patience, kindness, and love. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Before and after work, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I’m available for overnight stays, evenings, weekends, and longer bookings. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and provide regular photo and message updates, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I believe every dog deserves to feel relaxed, loved, and at home while their family is away :)
“Laurie took such great care of our two cats while we were on vacation that I’m not sure they wanted us to come home! She sent daily updates as well as pictures and you could tell that our cats really felt comfortable around her. I will definitely being contacting Laurie in the future when I need a cat/house sitter!!”
“Sara did such an amazing job caring for our Bexley who was struggling with some health issues while we were gone. She took such extra care giving him his meds, regular walks, calming his anxiety, and even hand feeding him if necessary. She sent regular updates with pics and helped us to be away and know he was so well cared for. Our home was also left in excellent condition and she watered our plants as well. We would absolutely recommend and use Sara again.”
“This is our second time having Hamsha stay in our home. We have four animals, with one young and one old dog, and she met their very opposite needs with both being happy and tired when we got home!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Black Diamond 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!
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 Black Diamond 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 Black Diamond 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, identity 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. 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.
