“Pam is a little God sent Fairy 😊 Pups were pampered, had a spa day and were taken care of as if they were her very own. Pam is simply fantastic above being reliable and caring.”

About: With over two decades of experience caring for animals, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, quirks, and comforts. I've cared for dogs of all sizes, from tiny toy breeds to giant Dobermans, as well as cats of all temperaments. I also have training in puppy development, leash training, and positive reinforcement techniques. I offer **in-home pet sitting, overnight boarding in my home, and doggy daycare**, giving you the flexibility to choose the arrangement that works best for you and your pet. As a self-employed professional who works remotely, I'm home throughout much of the day, which means your pet gets more than someone stopping in to fill a food bowl. They get companionship, attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. For pets who are happiest in familiar surroundings, I'm happy to stay in your home, keeping their routines consistent and looking after your space while you're away. For those who enjoy a change of scenery, I also welcome pets into my own home for overnight stays or daytime care, providing a comfortable, attentive environment where they can settle in and feel at ease. I'm mature, responsible, tidy, and respectful of both your home and your pet's individual needs. Whether that means following a senior pet's medication schedule, reinforcing good habits with an energetic puppy, or giving a slightly anxious animal the patience and reassurance they need, I take the responsibility of caring for someone's beloved companion seriously. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and receiving the kind of attention and affection you'd want for them. I'd love to meet you and your pet and see if we're a good fit! 🐾 As a self-employed professional, I have the flexibility to work from anywhere, which means your pet will have far more companionship and attention than they would with someone who works a traditional 9–5 job. While I may have the occasional outing, my schedule allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs throughout the day, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just providing comforting company. I understand that pets thrive on routine and consistency, so I’ll ensure their schedule stays as close to normal as possible. Whether they need midday potty breaks, structured leash training, or extra cuddle time, I’m there to provide attentive, loving care that keeps them happy and stress-free while you're away. I provide loving, attentive care in your pet’s own home, ensuring they remain in a familiar, stress-free environment while you're away. I believe in positive reinforcement training, rewarding good behavior with praise, treats, and encouragement. Every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to understand their routine, preferences, and personality to provide the best possible care. Whether it's maintaining a structured leash training routine, ensuring a senior pet’s comfort, or just offering plenty of belly rubs and companionship, I prioritize their well-being and happiness. I also respect and care for your home as if it were my own, keeping things tidy, secure, and peaceful so you can return to a happy pet and a well-maintained space. Your pet’s safety and trust are my top priorities, and I’m dedicated to making their time without you as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

About: I am surrounded by dogs within my family and friends. I have dog and cat sat for people that I know and now that I am a stay at home mom and home all the time, id love to be able to keep your little love occupied and busy. I am on an acreage and have 2 kids to keep your dog busy! I have experience training our own small dog which was so much fun and rewarding. Im a stay at home mom! If we leave the house its less than 2 hours at a time. We usually have a nice walk at least once a day but acreage living leads to lots of time outside. I do have a small dog, a havashire who is 7 years old. She loves to play and she loves her rest. I also have 2 young children. It is very important to me that all dogs in our care are comfortable and lots of play but also we will respect their boundaries and have worked with our kids to see signs of comfort in dogs.

“When we decided to go away for a few nights we knew we couldn’t leave our beloved kitten with just anyone. At first we were very apprehensive leaving our house and kitten in the care of a stranger felt strange, but as soon as we met Samana we felt we could trust her. She was very approachable and down to earth, eager to help and listen to instructions, she hit it off with our kitten immediately and we had no qualms about leaving hi. In her care. She did an amazing job of looking after his needs and providing him with playtime and affection when he wanted it, she followed all instructions provided and sent many photos and videos so we felt like we were part of his day to day life. We highly recommend Samana if you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter for your pet and home.”

“Brooke was absolutely wonderful with our pets, I could tell she loved them and they loved her. As a concerned "parent to my babies" I had reservations about leaving Millie and Ella with someone as they are only a year old and I haven't been away from them much. My husband and I also work from home so our pets are really never alone. Brooke stayed in our home, listened to our concerns, read all our directions, reported to us daily and was very professional and caring. First time using Rover and Brooke, I give them both 5 stars.”

About: Hi! My name is Sam 🙋‍♀️I've had cats, days old bottle fed rescue kittens and multiple kittens litters, gerbils, and even a chinchilla growing up. Now I have a 9 year old 80lb American Bully, Odin, and almost 7 year old cat, Mittens. I also am currently doing daily potty breaks for two puppies, one being a senior dog for a couple who live in my parents neighborhood. My dog Odin is very high anxiety with many allergies and a skin condition. So I can understand the stress of making sure you are leaving your family members in the right care. I am highly compassionate and live by taking care and supporting people, animals and things that can be seen as vunerable or easily taken advantage of. I took a step back from my full-time job to be able to help my mom with some complicated medical issues she is dealing with. After working with these two puppies during the day and my love for my animals, I thought this may be the perfect opportunity to turn a hobby (animal loving) into a more full time job. Me, as a person, am very responsible, respectful, easy going, quiet, and empathetic. I have many hobbies like gardening, skiing, painting, camping, baking and golfing. My family of 2 step boys and Fiancé are all active and enjoy being outside. I am a certified nail technician aswell but mostly only do family and friends. I am currently helping my mom with general home care taking and errands. The hours a very flexible so I am able to work about your schedule! I love to go on walks so if allowed I could take them out for an evening walk or car ride. Play games in the backyard. Watch a movie together and cuddle up. Give them their favorite approved treats and tell them how much of a good boy they are haha

You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. A bit about me .....

About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes breeds and personalities my whole life. I am comfortable and confident caring for dogs that are small, large, shy, social young or old. For the past two years, I have volunteered as an advanced dog walker with Edmonton Humane Society, where I have received hands-on training with their expert Behaviour Team. I’m currently completing an online diploma, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I’m available for pet care throughout the week and on weekends morning afternoon or evening. Since my studies are self-paced I am able to easily prioritize your pets needs and give them attention time and care they deserve whenever it’s needed. While I don’t host pets in my own home, I have plenty of experience, caring for pets in their own space and staying at clients homes. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure in a familiar environment so I always do my best to maintain the usual routine Whether it’s drop visits or overnight stays I treat your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect

About: I love dogs and grew up with two dogs myself that were rescued dogs. With these two dogs they had trauma and I was able to built personal relationships with them and gain trust. I loved playing with them inside and outside. I would take them to the beach and dog parks. I loved watching these dogs be happy and become confident with themselves; as well as environment. These dogs became my best furry friends and always put a big smile on my face. As a caregiver for your dog I would definitely make sure your pet is safe and loved. Your dog would receive lots of attention, hugs and kisses because I would not be able to contain myself. I find dogs adorable and cute. I would follow your instructions and guidelines to your dog and make sure they are happy in my care. I would send you pictures and texts messages to reassure you that your dog is in good hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - Calmar

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Calmar is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $55 and $82 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 617 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Calmar. About 88% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Calmar 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 Calmar 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 Calmar 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
  • 94% 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.
