“Elly went above and beyond while she looked after the dogs and my home. I reached out last minute for a booking and she helped me out. I couldn’t be more impressed with her professionalism throughout the process and would definitely use her again!”
“Victoria was great-very professional, friendly and on time for sitting. Very good communication with daily updates and pictures. Victoria was very tidy and left my house in very good state after leaving. Very accommodating to my dog’s quirks and meal/snack preparation. Daily walks with my dog to keep up his routine that he was used to. Really made me feel good about leaving my dog. Highly recommend Victoria.”
“Our very first time using Rover in a super last minute pinch and we couldn’t be happier with Dionne helping us out! She replied fast on a late evening and was able to accommodate our two pups the very next afternoon. Our Doxie can have really bad separation anxiety and Dionne’s calm presence kept her cool and calm. I could tell when we pick her up that she didn’t feel stressed or anxious with us away!! Such a nice feeling and successful first stay with Dionne! The pictures of the pups relaxing with her helped ease any anxiety knowing they were happy and cared for. We would definitely rebook with Dionne again! 10/10”
“Natalia did a great job looking after all 5 of my pets! I have two special needs pets and she had no problem providing quality care to them. She took my dog for two long walks a day, played fetch with her and made sure she got lots of love. The cats got lots of love, rewards and attention. The house looked great when we returned as well. I will absolutely be booking Natalia as a sitter again in the future.”
“Our pets immediately took to Alisha! She took such good care of Maze and Sadie that Sadie waited for her to show up the next day after we got home. Will definitely book her again”
“Graeme was great with our boisterous bully - I think Briggs was sad to see us come home he liked Graeme so much! Great communication and took great care of our big guy. Will definitely book with Graeme again.”
“Jason took care of our 2 pups for a few days and was great! Super friendly, accommodating and provided lots of updates. We would definitely recommend him as a reliable dog sitter.”
About: I've lived in households with pets for most of my life, and have also worked in shelters for both dogs and cats. I am confident I am the kind of person you're looking for. I just finished my first degree and am preparing to take the law school entrance exam; whenever your pets need care, I will be there. I have a yard and also pay attention whenever pets are around; if I'm over to help you, I will do any sort of thing you need, and if your pets are over here, I will guarantee they will always have water and will be let out whenever necessary.
About: I’ve been walking dogs for about a year and have had dogs of my own for the past 14 years. I have experience dog sitting and caring for everyone from energetic puppies to slower paced seniors. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, and fully support stopping to sniff every single tree. My schedule is currently very flexible, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop ins, and plenty of time with your pup. Most of my days already involve walking anyway, so having a dog join me just makes them better! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow your instructions closely, stick to their usual routine, and make sure they get plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your pet’s needs, and always happy to send updates and photos so you know they’re in good hands!
“We decided last minute to head out for Thanksgiving weekend and had Julia stay in our home and look after our slightly needy older cat. Julia was excellent!!! She came a few days before to meet Sophie and right away Sophie liked her. And that says a lot cause Sophie is very fussy Her communication was excellent providing pictures and information about how Sophie was doing. Every night she provided this. I would definitely have Julia stay again in a heartbeat ! Which might be soon !! Thanks Julia !!”
About: I hold a PhD in Veterinary Medicine, so I have in-depth knowledge of animal health, behaviour, and nutrition, and I can spot early signs that something isn’t right. I’ve owned my cat for 13 years, grew up in a family with dogs, and regularly care for my friends’ dogs and cats. I’m also experienced with senior and sick pets, including giving medication and closely monitoring their condition, since my cat is now 15 and our family dog is 14. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long hours, and I can plan walks, meals, playtime, and medication around their usual routine. I can also offer drop-in visits at different times of day. I care for every pet like my own, keeping their usual feeding, walking, and play routines so they feel safe and comfortable. With my veterinary training, I can give medication confidently. I’m also happy to send photos and videos whenever you’d like, so you always know how they’re doing.
About: Aside from owning and training my own puppy, I have looked after pets of my family and friends. I treat pets with love and respect! No pet is too “difficult” or “wild” for me to handle! I am currently a university student going into my fourth and final year. I also work once a week at my part-time job. My upcoming school year is pretty light so I have some free time on my hands that I would love to dedicate to taking care of pets! I am very respectful of clients homes, I follow every warning and instruction left for me with full caution and care. Communication between me and the client is crucial for me in order for me to give my best performance.
“Katherin was an amazing sitter for our Labrador, Blake. She is incredibly caring, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Her communication was excellent. She responded quickly to messages and kept us informed about how Blake was doing each day. It was clear from the updates that Blake was having a wonderful time and receiving plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Katherin to anyone looking for a trustworthy”
“Annie stayed with our little problem child Maddie for two nights and followed everything to a tee. Maddie was happy and Annie sent regular pics and updates to doting pet parents! Thank you for your great care, Annie!”
“Zubie was very communicative. She sent me photos and videos as well, so I knew that my dog was doing OK. She even took care of my plants for me. Towards the end of my trip, she flagged me to my dog’s inverted sneezes (potential Foxtail) and luckily it was just allergies, but she was keeping an eye on his health (which was awesome). I would book with Zubie again!”
“I would recommend using Gabriella. This was the first time I used Gabriella to sit with my dog while away. My chihuahua is very timid and Gabriella won her over. I came home to a happy dog!”

Cassidy is absolutely amazing ! She is incredibly sweet and the boys loved her. We have very energetic pups and she kept them entertained with treats and fetch and cuddles. She fed them and followed medication instructions properly and our house was left immaculately cleaned! She sent updates throughout the day and was quick to respond. Thanks to her we got to enjoy our first vacation together away from the pups worry free! We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again!
Brielle was very professional, reliable and kept me up to date while I was away for 5 days. She was very enthusiastic, kind and caring with my dog who can be very skittish and takes a while to warm up to strangers. Brielle had him feeling comfortable and calm in no time! My house was tidy and she kept me informed when she had to deal with a city water pipe failure! I would highly recommend Brielle to look after your home and pet.
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!!!❤️
Victoria was great-very professional, friendly and on time for sitting. Very good communication with daily updates and pictures. Victoria was very tidy and left my house in very good state after leaving. Very accommodating to my dog’s quirks and meal/snack preparation. Daily walks with my dog to keep up his routine that he was used to. Really made me feel good about leaving my dog. Highly recommend Victoria.
Faith did a wonderful job looking after our two dogs. She provided multiple photo and text updates during her stay with them, and was quick to reply to me whenever I checked in. She left our house just as clean as we left it for her which was greatly appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate at all to have Faith look after our dogs again!
I couldn’t recommend Maja enough. She is such a sweet, kind hearted, and such a thoughtful young woman. She was so gentle and kind to my pups. I’m always hesitant to have new people watch my fur babies but that quickly went away when she was with my doggos. She takes time, doesn’t rush to get in and out for visits, actually stayed and spent time with my pups and gave them plenty of love and treats. She gave me lots of updates throughout the stay and made me feel comfortable knowing I didn’t have to worry. Highly recommend! 🫶🏽
It was so awesome having Rachael look after Mia for me. She was very professional, friendly and I can tell she loves doing what she does. She wasn’t able to meet Mia during the meet and greet because Mia was hiding but when she came over she was able to convince her to come out with no problem. It was great to have so many pictures sent to me while I was away as I could tell Mia was happy. She left my home very clean and even put on and emptied my dish washer for me. I look forward to having her babysit again and I’m sure Mia will be happy to have her as well!!!!
Jessica was amazing!!! She took care of my 2 dogs while we were away and they were in very good hands. She walked them and took care of them like her own. One night my one dog got sick and she took very good care of him while keeping me updated until he was better.
If I could leave a 10 star review I would!! Cecelia was absolutely incredible with our dog and made the entire pet-sitting process so easy for us. She was so sweet and lovely and extremely attentive to our pets needs. I can’t stress enough how wonderful she was and I cannot give her a higher recommendation. We will absolutely be using her again to help care for our dog :)
Kiara was totally awesome. She looked after my two labs so well with daily walks and she even took them to a new park in Canmore. Kiara sent daily pictures and kept us informed everyday on how Bean and Ember were doing. I will definitely be getting Kiara again. 💗
Gina is amazing!! She looked after our dog and house better than we could have ever expected. We also had a last minute flight cancellation and she immediately offered to go above and beyond and stay longer and make sure our little Luka was all looked after. I can’t recommend her enough. We will definitely book with her again for all future travel.
HUGE thank you to Nevaeh! She took very very good care of my old boy, and on extremely short notice. I felt he was in really good hands and I felt comfortable during my vacation. Her and her dog stayed in my home for 6 days and the place looked amazing when I arrived back. She will be my go to whenever we are in need!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cochrane 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 Cochrane 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 Cochrane 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
