“Gina was awesome, very comfortable to leave our fur babies in her care. We made arrangements for her to meet our pets prior to us going away and they both took to her right away which made us feel at ease since our dog can be a bit shy, but she went right over to her and befriended her. Gina also kept us up to date with daily reports and pictures of our dog and cat. Highly recommended Gina.”
“Cecilia is a lovely human and was so nice to deal with. Our big goody dog was well cared for while we were away. She spent lots of time with him and going for walks. She was more than mindful of our home while staying, nothing was left of of place and she was very good to communicate with.”
“Cassidy was great with communication and with our dogs! One of our dogs needs meds each evening and she was attentive to his needs. She stayed at our house for over a week and left everything in wonderfully clean condition! Our dogs are happy and we would love to rebook. Thank you!”
“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!”
“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.”

“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”
“Erin was terrific. She communicated well, took care of Koda and our home very well ... everything was tidy and it great shape upon our return. She sent us some photos each day we were away. We would use Erin's services again.”
“Maggie is an exceptional person and not only did my pets lover her, so did I. I was very ill during the holidays and realized I could not travel to see family. I only could make a short trip to see my daughter. I became further ill on Christmas Day while Maggie was caring for my home and pets and much worse upon my return New Years Day. During all of this, Maggies was extremely kind and patient. She further assisted in home items I could not attend to. I would highly recommend both Rover and Maggie for any care concerning pets, family and home. Kindest regards, SBT I”
“Annie is a wonderful pet and house sitter. I would 100% recommend her services. Our dog loved her instantly. She sent daily photos and updates on our fur baby and was always quick to respond. Our house was in perfect and clean condition when we returned and our pup was well looked after. Thank you Annie!”
“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!”

Jaelynn was the best house and pet sitter we've had. Not only did she take care of our dog wonderfully, she also came early to learn how to take care of our chickens and peacocks. She also watched our cats and kept the house so clean! We got texts with updates and photos and knees she took care of everyone wonderfully. Highly recommend Jaelynn, professional, kind and a fantastic sitter!
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! 🫶🏽
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 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
- 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.
