“If you are looking for someone you can count on fully while staying in your home with your fur babies - look no further! Not for one minute did we have any worries while we were away. Dionne was communicative and easy to reach if we needed anything. She cared for our big girls like they were her own and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Will DEFINITELY be booking again!! MnM miss her already!!!❤️”
“Cora was amazing! She was available very last minute, was on time, provided tons of photos and updates, and was very patient with our high energy foster dog. She even left our house cleaner than when she got here. We would highly recommend Cora!”
“Shelby was amazing with our girl!! She was able to calm my anxious girl who has separation anxiety. My girl loved her the moment she walked into our home. They went on a walk and Shelby just won her over with cuddles and pets. This was my first time leaving my girl with anyone and Shelby surely took great care of 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!”
“I was so nervous to leave our dog who is extremely shy and skiddish.Stacey was able to make her feel safe and loved and at ease. I am over the moon to have someone my dog trusts look after her. Everything went smoothly and I would leave xanny with Stacey anytime. Highly recommend her and Fred .”
About: Hi, I’m Mollie! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently work in a veterinary clinic, which has given me experience handling pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and needing a little extra care, or simply happiest sticking to their normal routine, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m comfortable administering basic medications, monitoring for changes in behavior or health, and following detailed care instructions. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’d love the opportunity to meet them and help keep their routine as stress-free as possible. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work full-time at a veterinary clinic and am available for pet care before and after work, as well as evenings and weekends. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and will do my best to provide reliable, consistent care that fits their needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, feeding, medication, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow all instructions carefully, maintain their normal routine, and ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed and will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“We had Kaitlyn watch our dogs for a night, and she was wonderful! She had great communication and let us know how they were doing when she first arrived, the dogs were so happy and tired, and the house was left in great condition!”
“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!”
“It was such a pleasure having Laurie as our pet sitter. She checked in every day and sent lots of photos which I really appreciated. All 3 fur kids were completely stress free when we came home. Will definitely request her again for our future critter sitter needs! Thanks again Laurie!!”
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!
“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!”
“Andreea was absolutely wonderful! Frequent communication and she took great care of our kittens. There’s no one better to leave your pets with. Our kitties are looking forward to their next booking with her!”
“Sara was an amazing person to deal with. She was very accommodating when dates changed to make sure our pupper was taken care of. We would highly recommend her for taking care of your fur babies.”

“Lucie was great with my dogs, they can be a handful, so it was nice to have someone come and stay in my home with them. She sent photos and updates throughout the weekend. And I came home to happy dogs and a clean house!”

About: Hi! I’m Maria, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs—as well as cats with all kinds of personalities. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, potty training, feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after pets, administering oral medication when instructed, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I understand that every animal is different, so I always take the time to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable and happy. For dog walks, I typically offer 30- or 60-minute walks, making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, and enrichment while staying safe at all times. During drop-in visits, I feed pets, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, give medications if needed, and spend quality time playing or relaxing with them—whatever they enjoy most. If I’m providing house sitting or overnight care, I’ll stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule to reduce stress while you’re away. I’ll also keep your home tidy and respect your space. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. If an emergency ever arises, I will contact you immediately and, if necessary, seek veterinary care based on the instructions you’ve provided. I’m calm under pressure and always put your pet’s well-being first. I know how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member, which is why I’ll send regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how they’re doing. I have reliable transportation, a flexible schedule, and experience caring for both dogs and cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you return. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet, and I look forward to becoming someone you can trust whenever you need reliable, compassionate care. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and pet care throughout the week. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s usual schedule and provide reliable, consistent care whenever you need it. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. During walks, I always keep dogs securely leashed unless instructed otherwise in a safe, enclosed area. In your home, I’ll treat both your pet and your space with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and secure. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Carstairs on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
