About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, and other small pets. My experience ranges from daily feeding, walking, grooming, and cleaning enclosures to providing companionship, basic training reinforcement, and medication when needed. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away, and I always treat every animal as if they were my own I’m a university student with most of my classes scheduled mid-day, which gives me a flexible schedule in the mornings, evenings, and many afternoons. This allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, feeding times, and extended care as needed. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, and get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. I tailor care to each pet’s needs—whether that means long walks, quiet companionship, litter or enclosure cleaning, grooming, or administering medication if required. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and a calm environment so pets feel secure while their owners are away.
“Andrea was so great! Our cat is difficult around other humans, and she did an amazing job navigating her moods and anxiety while we were away. We came back to a happy, fed cat and a very clean house. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello dog lovers! Growing up with dogs my whole life gave me tons of experience in regards of caring for dogs as well as playing with them. I also am the proud mom of a German Shorthaired Pointer who needs lots of play time and would love to become friend with your dog if this is the kind of service you would be looking for! I am a flight attendant with a very flexible schedule so I can accomodate to come in your house when you need me to as well. What ever special care your pet needs, I am confident I can give them the attention they need, in the environment of your preferences. I am excited to meet you and your furry friend! I go on a walk of minimum an hour everyday with my dog Matcha so getting some exercise done is no problem! Depending on the energy levels and the weather, I typically go in the mornings but sometimes go for a second outing in the afternoon/evening. I have a fenced yard with easy access from a doggy door that can also be closed as well as two crates indoors if needed. I have a designated place for potty in the backyard and feel very confident to keep any dog safe even out on a walk!
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.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats in my life for over 50 years and have an amazing ability for having them relate to me. I am only working a full day on Friday's and my husband works out of a home office so I am very flexible regarding availability. I live on an acreage with a fenced yard and two friendly Maltese dogs and a dog friendly cat named Nigel. Dogs names are Maggie and Monty.
About: My kids are grown, I’m on my own but haven’t set new roots. This is my time to move around and I’d like to be of use. Willing to travel and often do between Cochrane, Kelowna and Grande Prairie too. I prefer to care for two or a few, im used to juggling a crew. I have been housesitting for friends and family a long time, I used to be a property maintenance manager, and now I am doing a course online. You can take the mom out of the nest, but you can’t take the nest out of the Mom. Caring for homes, pets, plants and people has always been part of who I am.
About: As a dedicated pet lover with a deep passion for animals, being a pet sitter is not just a job for me, but a calling. I believe that pets are beloved members of our families, and they deserve the highest level of care and attention when their owners are away. With years of experience in pet care, including volunteering at local animal shelters and fostering animals in need, I have honed my skills in providing exceptional care for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. I understand the unique needs and personalities of different animals, and I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for them. One of my top priorities as a pet sitter is the health and safety of the pets in my care. That's why I require all pets to be up-to-date on vaccinations to ensure the well-being of both the visiting pets and those in my home. This policy ensures a healthy and secure environment for all furry guests. I have a very secure location in my house where they are allowed to roam freely in the house with my small yard. I prefer the environment where the client is more comfortable towards its furry being as I understand animals love to stay more where they have grown up. I'm open to stay at client's house for a day or two for house sitting. As a pet sitter, I offer a range of services tailored to the needs of each individual pet, including regular exercise, feeding, bathing, and administering medication if necessary. I am also skilled in handling emergencies giving pet owners peace of mind knowing that their beloved pets are in capable and caring hands. Above all, my motivation to be a pet sitter stems from my unwavering love and passion for animals. I am dedicated to providing the best care possible for pets, creating a stress-free and enjoyable experience for them, and building lasting relationships with both the pets and their owners. I’m currently working from home, as my job offers me a flexible environment to work which helps me fulfill my passion of taking care of pets. On weekends I’m free so I can take full time care. I work according to the client’s need as they know their children better. There are no restrictions in my house as the little ones will not be chained or caged unless required as per the clients request as I believe they should have their own freedom and should feel like home.
“Felix and Rachel were absolutely amazing dog sitters for my pup, Hap! They went above and beyond, especially when Hap got sick during their care. Their quick response, calm demeanor, and dedication to making sure he was okay truly showed how much they care. They kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me so much peace of mind. Despite the unexpected situation, Hap was clearly loved and well cared for. I’m so grateful for their kindness, attentiveness, and professionalism. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would trust them with Hap anytime!”

“Sara was excellent to work with! She gave great communication throughout the day, with lots of pics - which helped us feel secure - knowing our pup was being well cared for. We look forward to our next outing and having you in our home with Molly. Thanks so much Sara!”

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.

With decades of experience and a genuine love for all animals, I treat every pet like one of my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of snuggles. Whether it's a walk, a cuddle, or special care, your pets are in safe, loving hands with me! Shelly I’m currently working from home. Looking to be able to help care for pets in my home. And provide loving space for them to feel safe while you are away from them. I have a back yard that is fully fenced. I have a large crate of you are needing that to be used and I have a well trained dog that would love some company.

About: I currently work from home in marketing from Calgary and I'm looking for some extra work that aligns with my passion for animals. I have experience taking care of animals (meal prep, grooming, feeding, playing etc.). I would love to meet your furry friends 😊 When I come to your house I will dedicate my time to providing lots of nourishment and entertainment for your pet. There's nothing I love more than cats and dogs, animals make me happy. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets. I work from home so there is alot of flexibility for time of day. I can also take last minute requests. I can be available on weekends as well. I live with an Australian Shepherd and take him for walks multiple times per day. I have experience feeding, cleaning and playing with dogs and cats.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with a poodle and now share my life with my beautiful Brittany Spaniel, so I truly understand how much our dogs mean to us—they’re family. I treat every dog in my care like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I pay close attention to their personality and needs so they have a happy, stress-free experience. Being a true dog person means I know how important trust is, and my goal is always to care for your dog as if they were my own. At the moment I have a very flexible schedule while I look for a more permanent job, which makes pet care a great fit for my routine. I’m newly pregnant and already spend a lot of my time with my own dog, so caring for other dogs throughout the day feels very natural to me. Because I have my own Brittany Spaniel, I already have a daily routine of walks, feeding times, and making sure dogs get plenty of attention and exercise. I just need to make sure I’m home in the evenings for my dog’s dinner, but I’m very open to working out schedules that work well for everyone. I love the idea of spending my days with dogs and making sure they feel cared for, happy, and safe. At the moment I’m offering pet care in clients’ homes, as I’m not able to host other animals in my home right now. I’m happy to come to your home to care for your pet so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. When I care for pets, I focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after. This includes walks, playtime, enrichment, feeding, and of course lots of cuddles and attention. I also make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel relaxed while you’re away. My goal is always to treat your pet like family and give them the same love and care I give my own dog. P.s will be moving soon so having dogs in my house will change.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine love for animals and my firsthand experience as both a pet owner and pet sitter. As a previous pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and caring to look after your pets. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, providing companionship, and maintaining their routines to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their personality, needs, and preferences. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their furry family members are happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. As a rotational worker, I have two weeks off at a time, which gives me the flexibility and availability to dedicate quality time to caring for pets. During my time off, I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals through dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. Having been a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of maintaining consistent feeding, exercise, play, and companionship routines to keep pets happy and comfortable. I tailor my care to each pet's needs and the service being provided. For dog walking, I ensure pets get safe exercise, fresh water, and plenty of attention. For drop-in visits, I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, medication (if required), litter box cleaning, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. For pet sitting in a client's home, I maintain the pet's normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress, including feeding schedules, walks, exercise, and lots of affection. As a former pet owner and experienced dog and cat sitter, I understand the importance of reliability, patience, and keeping owners updated on their pet's well-being.
About: I've honed my pet care skills through over a decade and a half of walks, grooming, and attentive care with many animals, including my sister's emotional support dog, who requires a lot of extra attention. I’ve also provided overnight care, check-ins, and walks for animals of all sizes and breeds, ensuring their comfort and well-being. I am readily available for pet care services whenever I'm not traveling, ensuring your furry companions receive the attention and care they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate your needs with ease. For boarding, I carefully assess each case to ensure a comfortable stay for your pet. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I prioritize maintaining their familiar environment and routine. I am open to providing regular updates as requested to keep owners informed and reassured.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 1,431 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Carstairs. About 87% of Carstairs sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Carstairs stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
