“Hailey is absolutely amazing, caring, & professional. She took incredible care of our dog Luna in our home while we were away and would book her again in a heartbeat for our next trip. She kept us updated with photos and checked in to let us know how everything was at home with Luna while we were away. Thank you so much for your wonderful care & love for our fur baby.”
“Gwen kept the dogs very happy ! This was the first time we had used someone in our own home and were slightly nervous as our one dog has a bit of anxiety ! We were very reassured immediately with lots of pictures and snuggles with our doggies ! She left our place cleaner then when she got there and even went the extra mile and cleaned dog Toys that were buried in the backyard all winter covered in mud. Already booking our next weekend with 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!”
“We were so fortunate to have Stacey care for our house and very active 9 month old dog Ollie while we were on vacation. Stacey and her sweet furry side kick Fred entertained Ollie with brain games, fetch, long walks and lots of snuggles! She sent us pictures and updates daily which our whole family enjoyed. We were so worried about Ollie due to him having separation anxiety. However, Stacey’s experience with dogs and willingness to keep Ollie mentally and physically stimulates worked like a charm! We will recommend Stacey to everyone and would be happy to have her help again!!”
About: Hello! I’m Brooke and I am a recent university graduate with a passion for animals. I am currently a month post-op from ACL reconstruction surgery and quickly recovering! As I am getting sturdy on my feet it brings me joy caring for beloved pets even if that only means kitties and smaller furry friends in this initial stage of recovery. I currently spend most of my time with my two dogs and my cat and I would love to extend my care to your pets! I have cared for cats and dogs in my own home for 11 years. I spent one year volunteering at Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society at their cat shelter where I cared for the cats, fed them, and cleaned their kennels. Additionally, I have had dogs in my home my whole life and I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for them! I currently have flexible hours during every day of the week. I have the odd commitment here and there during the week, but I can otherwise provide full availability! I love all animals and I respect that each one is different and has different needs. I am patient with all cats and dogs and I am happy to cater to their specific needs and respect their comfort levels!
“We had a fantastic experience with our Rachel and Jason! They stayed at our house for a full week and took excellent care of our doggo. From the start, communication was clear and consistent, and we really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got back. It was obvious he received lots of attention, exercise, and affection. Our home was also left clean and tidy, which we really appreciated after traveling. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of our pup!”
“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!”
“Dionne was excellent with our girls ❤️ I was able to relax while away knowing they were in such great care. Dogs were happy when we got home, house looked great. Will definitely be reaching out for care again in the future!”
About: I lived with a friend on a hobby farm. She showed me the ropes. I learned how to take care of all animals big and small. I am willing and able to assist in medicine administration. I have tons of free time that I’d love to dedicate to ensuring your furry friend has their needs through the day and even when you’re on vacation I work from home, starting up my own business but I have free availability pretty much all day. I hardly ever leave the province and can dedicate as much time needed with your fur babies as you need! I won’t have pets in my home as I have a cat myself, but I will ensure I know where all food, treats, toys and everything else they require before you leave. I will ask for an emergency response plan in the event I need to get ahold of you asap. I also have my own reliable transportation and will ask for the vet you use in dire emergencies. I will also supervise play time as I know how quick everything can go sideways. I also am very clean, if there’s a mess from your pet, it’ll be cleaned. And I have no problem cleaning litter boxes as well.
“Sara always takes good care of our little girl and stepped up to help with our new Tortoise. She always leaves our home as she found it and leaves our pupper calmer then when we left.”
“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!”
About: I've grown up around pets, and have experience with dogs, cats, horses, a lizard and fish, from all stages of life. I currently help my family care for four dogs, two cats, and three horses. Two of the dogs have issues with their hind legs, giving me experience with animals that have specific mobility needs. I'm also able to take care of dogs of all sizes, having grown up with small, medium, and large dogs. I currently pet sit casually for a friend, taking care of cats and dogs with differing needs (i.e. diet and the ability to go outside). I have the most experience working with animals in rural areas, but I am able to care for pets in urban areas too. I'm currently off for the summer, until I start school in the fall. This gives me plenty of time to take care of your pets so you can enjoy the summer without having to worry. I'm available short notice, and I can commit to long, full-time stays. I'm not as available starting September, but I can definitely do some pet sitting in the Calgary area. I'm very meticulous when it comes to taking care of your pets. Whatever their schedule, I'll make sure to follow it to a tee. If they need full-time care, I'll be there. I'm also a huge rule follower and hold myself to a high standard, so you can be sure they're getting great care. I've grown up around a lot of different animals and have taken care of a friend's furry bunch that have different and specific needs, and different personalities. Whether your pet has specific dietary, grooming, mobility or other needs, I'll do my best to fulfill them. I'll make sure to take the utmost care of your fur baby (or fur babies) so they feel comfortable and cared for.
“Shelby was amazing! She took great care of our cat Scout and my parent’s elderly cat Lily. Shelby is a great communicator and sent us updates every day. She kept our home tidy and was very respectful. Would highly recommend!”
“Anastasiia is amazing. We booked her last minute for a two week stay after our cat injured himself and needed more care while we were away. We were very anxious about traveling while he was hurt and needed vet checks. From the moment we met, we could tell that she truly loves and understands animals. She took such great care of all of our pets including our injured cat who required daily medication, our other two cats and our small dog. We received frequent communication and pictures. I could tell that our pets were loved, happy and very comfortable. It allowed us to go on our vacation with absolute peace of mind. I can’t say enough good things about Anastasiia.”
“Jay was literally the best pet/house sitter ever! I think our dog might actually prefer him over us now! Jay was so attentive, went above and beyond and was extremely accommodating especially as we booked him last minute! Thank you again Jay! We will absolutely be using Jay again in the future!!”
“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.”
“Andreea was awesome! Sent regular updates and photos and went above and beyond every step of the way. Came home to a happy kitty and everything in tip top shape. Thank you!”
About: I have had pets since I was young, and I have always been responsible for taking care of those animals, whether it’s walking them, cleaning up after them, bathing them, training them, and overall just making sure the animals are living in a very high-quality environment. I have both a cat and a dogs. My dog is a bit larger, so I am knowledgeable on how to properly take care of a larger dog. I have also taken care of small dogs that my family and friends have had. Overall, I find I get along great with any animal! Respecting their boundaries is very important to me! I just finished my first year of university and I am working over the summer! I work most days but with a flexible schedule that allows me to check on your pets throughout the day! In my home my dog is outside and inside, but our cat stays inside. I value their safety, and although my dog is outside sometimes, I check on them frequently and give them constant attention to ensure that they are okay. In a clients home, I will follow their guidelines on whether or not the pets are indoors or outdoors, and I will give frequent attention to maintain their safety and well-being.
About: Hi, I’m a dedicated dog walker and sitter with 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages and personalities. What started as a passion has grown into a full-time commitment to giving dogs the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. My home features a true dog oasis — a rare ½ acre inner-city property with plenty of secure space to run, sniff, play, and relax. It’s the perfect environment for dogs who enjoy freedom, fresh air, and enrichment in a safe setting. I specialize in fun, stimulating off-leash adventures at some of the best parks in the northwest, where dogs can explore trails, socialize, and burn energy while staying under close supervision. Whether your pup loves long walks, play sessions, or peaceful companionship, I tailor every outing to their unique needs. Reliable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about dogs, I treat every pet like family. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and well-being always come first. Your dog can join my daily group hike between 12-2, or schedule a private walking time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Carstairs on Rover is $53.37 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Carstairs 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 Carstairs 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 Carstairs 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:
- 89% 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.
