“Gabriella looked after our 2 dogs and a cat in out home and we couldn’t be more pleased. When we got home the pets were content and happy and our home was just as we left it. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Gabriella back again and again.”
About: Ive taken care of pets since I was a young girl. Not only my own, but also the pets of friends, family and neighbours who trust me with their furry companions. Pets are an important part of my life, as I currently have three dogs and a flock of chickens who I consider my family. I am currently unemployed, so I usually have plenty of time to take care of your lovely companions. I also have a (very responsible) teenager with a license as a back up in case I am unavailable I am easily able to take care of the needs of a dog, with guidance from the owner. In my own home, our dogs are cared for with consideration for their unique needs.

About: Greetings! I am a retired stay at home grandma. I have owned Shih-Tzu 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.
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
“Madison was incredible! She house-sat for us and took amazing care of our two girls while we were away. She kept us updated with photos and messages, followed all of our instructions, and went above and beyond to make sure our pups were comfortable and happy. She even took it upon herself to keep an eye on our snake, even though we did not expect her to! We came home to happy pups and a spotless house, which was so appreciated after a day of travelling. We felt completely at ease knowing Madison was with our girls- this is the third or fourth time we have had her over to dog sit and highly recommend her to anyone needing a trusted house sitter and dog lover!”
“Rachel and Jason were absolutely fantastic with our elderly dog Dixie. They were very patient with her grumpiness and separation anxiety while we were away on a weekend trip. We knew Dixie liked them from the meet-and-greet before we went away, and had no concerns leaving her, as we have recently moved to the area and she is still sorting things out. We highly recommend their pet-sitting service!”
“Brianna is fantastic! Our dog is an older sweet guy with anxiety. She kept him happy and calm. She sent us photos of him so we knew he was happy. She shows up on time and with a great attitude.”
“We were absolutely thrilled with the care Liza provided for our two cats over the holidays! From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals. Both of our cats have their own unique personalities and needs and Liza handled both with such care and patience. She followed our detailed instructions perfectly, from feeding them at their specific times to making sure each cat got the right amount of attention. We were especially impressed by the daily updates, which included adorable photos and notes about how the cats were doing—this really reassured us while we were away. It was clear that the cats were comfortable and happy. We returned to find the house in perfect order, and most importantly, both cats were relaxed and content. It was clear they were in excellent hands the whole time we were away. Liza is trustworthy, caring, and professional, the ideal sitter for anyone looking for top-notch care. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
About: After saying goodbye to my dog of 11 years in August 2025, I am looking to share my home and heart with your pup(s) while you are out of town or otherwise unavailable. I am a single, self-employed woman who works from my home office. In addition to having been a pet parent for 11 years, I have travelled all over the world petsitting for others. I have a quiet, 2-level townhome with a small front yard in a neighbourhood with plenty of walking areas and a terrific fully-fenced off-leash park. Your pup(s) will get at least 2 walks a day and plenty of interaction with me while at home. I have experience administering medications (oral, topical and injected) and also have extensive experience managing pet seizures and diabetes. I have a pet-friendly vehicle for easy access to adventures further from home as well as any necessary trips to veterinarians, groomers, doggy daycares and other pet service providers. I am self-employed and work from home exclusively. Every morning starts with a 30-45 minute walk around the neighbourhood, with another shorter walk midday and another longer walk or dog park visit in the evening. Longer walks can be accommodated as necessary. Weekends often include hikes and other dog-friendly outdoor adventures when appropriate. My home is fully dog safe and my yard is fully fenced. Pets are allowed on furniture and I also have a large kennel if your pup feels safer in a more confined space.
About: Hi there! I’m Maria, a Polish marketing professional in my thirties with a passion for travel and a huge heart for animals. If you’re looking for someone who combines responsibility with genuine, experienced animal care, I’d love to help! Why I’m your perfect sitter: - I don’t just "like" animals. I’ve dedicated my time to running a foster home for dogs and spent months volounteering at local shelters and cat sanctuaries. This has given me hands-on experience with different temperaments and training needs. I know how to handle the unexpected! - Cat mom at heart: I’m the proud owner of two wonderful "cat-daughters," Aster and Dalia. I understand that cats are family and require their own specific brand of love, space, and attention to detail. - A petsitting pro - I regularly do petsitting for friends, family, and new acquaintances and I have been petsitting across Canada for the past three months on the Trusted Housesitters platform. Whether it’s long walks, administering meds, or just providing some quiet company, I take the job seriously. - Reliable and trustworthy - I've been working in corporate environment for 10 years now and seven years in legal marketing field. I'm reliable, organized, communicative, and detail-oriented. I’m calm individual awho enjoys quiet evenings with movie, so your home will be kept in pristine condition. What you can expect: I’m happy to provide references from my current employer, previous pet owners, and home-exchange partners to ensure you feel 100% comfortable. I’m fluent in Polish and English and have lived in England, Poland and visited over 40 countries. I thrive in international environments, I'm open minded and tolerant, respectful of others' cukture, preferences and habits. Communication will always be smooth and frequent (with plenty of photo updates of your pets). I work full time job in Lake Louise now but I’m happy to take your dog on walks in the morning and evening or on my free days. I can also host cats and dogs at my place, provided they can stay by themselves up to 7 hours. My experience with animals goes beyond feeding and walking. Having run a foster home for dogs, I have experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and temperaments - from full of energy pups needing structure to shy, traumatized rescues requiring immense patience and a calm presence. I am comfortable with leash training, basic commands, and the specific routines that keep a dog feeling secure. My expertise includes: - Specialized cat care: As a proud carer of two cats, Aster and Dalia, I am an expert in cat caring. I’m meticulous about litter box hygiene, interactive play to prevent boredom, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health. - Medical and senior care: I am experienced in administering oral medications and following strict dietary requirements. I understand that senior pets or those with health issues need a gentler, more observant touch. I am also comfortable with washing and syringe medication injections. - Calm energy for anxious pets: Because I am naturally a calm person, I find that anxious or nervous animals tend to bond with me quickly. I provide a low-stress environment where they can feel at ease. - Security and communication: Coming from a professional background in marketing for law firms, I am highly organized. I respect your privacy, follow all security protocols (alarms, locks), and will provide you with regular, high-quality photo updates so you can see how happy your pets are. I am happy to provide glowing references from my current employer, previous homeowners, and animal rescue organizations upon request.
“Mehak was wonderful dogsitter for our 17 year old Heidi! Mehak was great with her, taking her for several walks each day, as well as playing and just chilling with her. She sent us daily updates with photos over the 10 days she took care of Heidi. Mehak was also very respectful of our home, bringing her own food, cleaning up, and leaving the house spotless. Wish she wasn't moving, otherwise we would have zero reservation about using Meehak again!”
“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!”
“This has been my best experience with Rover in all these years. Tare Jo is an absolute gem. She had to deal with some aggression issues between her dog and mine, and she worked through it and found resolution without blame or judgement. The dogs were exercised multiple times per day and she kept in touch regularly with the sweetest of photos. My place was left cleaner than when I left, and all the bedding and towels were cleaned. Tara Jo is so very skilled, and I will certainly reach out to her in the future.”
“Kaitlyn watched both of our dogs and she was absolutely awesome. Our dogs are big and have a lot of energy, we loved getting videos and photos during our time away of them playing! There were consistent updates, which we really appreciated. They were both spoiled with treats! When we came home our pups were so happy and our house was super clean!”

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.
<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 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, 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
- 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.
