“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.”
“Cassidy was amazing with our dogs!! She sent photos and messages to let us know how our dogs were doing. She left the place clean and even laundered her sheets and towels! Highly recommend her!”
“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’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have a beautiful 5-year-old Border Collie of my own, so I understand just how much love, attention, and care pets need. I also know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby behind when you travel, which is why I genuinely enjoy helping other pet owners feel at ease while they’re away. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and hobby farm animals, including chickens and donkeys. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well loved in their familiar environment. Since I work remotely, I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pets and provide consistent care, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I work remotely full-time. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent care, companionship, and supervision. I structure my schedule to include regular walks, feeding times, play, and check-ins, while also being present for any needs that come up during the day. I’m used to building my routine around animals — whether that’s morning and evening walks, maintaining feeding schedules, or simply being there to provide comfort and attention. Because I’m not away for long periods, your pet gets plenty of interaction and a calm, stable environment while you’re gone. In a client's home, my priority is maintaining your pet's established routine to make my stay as seamless and stress-free as possible. I provide consistent companionship, affection, and attentive care tailored to their unique needs. Because I work remotely, I am home throughout the day, ensuring your pets are never lonely and their schedules are kept on track. I am experienced in caring for animals at all life stages, from energetic puppies to senior pets with specific medical and mobility needs. I have looked after a senior Lab who needed to be carried in and out of the home for potty breaks and outdoor time, as well as a senior Yorkie who required regular eye drops and supervised feeding times. I am very comfortable administering medication and providing the extra physical support senior pets often need. I believe in clear communication and will always send regular updates and photos so you can have total peace of mind knowing your furry family members are receiving dedicated, compassionate, and expert care.
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years through dog walking, overnight stays, and pet sitting. One of the first puppies I ever pet sat for is a dog I still care for years later, which has allowed me to build a strong relationship with both the dog and owner over time. Last summer, I started doing overnight stays for two dogs and gained experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping dogs comfortable in their home environment while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I genuinely love spending time with animals and always try to make dogs feel safe, cared for, and treated like family. I’m patient, reliable, attentive, and understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits well into my schedule alongside my two part-time jobs. I work at a golf course in Bragg Creek and also do housekeeping and laundry at a hotel in Cochrane. My shifts vary, which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I’m good at planning my schedule ahead of time to make sure pets get the attention, care, and consistency they need while their owners are away. I currently provide pet care in my client’s home, where pets are usually most comfortable and able to stay in their normal routine and environment. At this time, I’m unable to offer boarding in my own home, as the people I’m currently staying with do not allow pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible through feeding schedules, walks, playtime, companionship, and overnight care when needed. I always try to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment and treat both the pets and the home with respect and care.
“haydn was absolutely AMAZING while we were away. constant communication, photos and care for my fur baby followed to a tee. i felt very comfortable leaving waldo with haydn and our house was taken care of perfectly. we will absolutely be rebooking with haydn for future trips out of town.”
“Sherry was great with our cats. She and her husband stayed in our home for the week and kept both care of our home and our cats. She sent many pics and updates so we felt confident they were well taken care of. They navigated the quirky cat feeding requests that comes with a furry dictator. They seemed happy, giving cuddles out, even the shy cat was shown to be interested so we nicknamed her the cat whisperer 😊 definitely would book again”
“Deborah was a delight to work with, she left the house as clean as it was if not cleaner and was communicative with updates and pictures. We hope the dogs took a liking to her!”
“Graeme was an amazing dog sitter for us. He was very kind and communicated well with us. We loved the photos and the videos that he would send us each day. We could tell that our dog really loved him and felt comfortable with him. We hope we can have him dog sit for us in the future!”
“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.”
“Hailey was an absolute delight. From the moment I met her, I felt confident she was the perfect person to care for my fur baby. She connected with my dog immediately, and my dog did not want to leave her side. Dogs are a great judge of character, and it was clear right away that Hailey is kind, trustworthy, and caring. Her communication throughout the stay was excellent, and she regularly sent updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. My dog absolutely adored her and was genuinely sad to see her leave. I would not hesitate to hire Hailey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs through pet sitting, dog walking, and caring for family pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have experience helping care for pregnant Yorkies and young puppies, which taught me to be attentive, patient, and calm in different situations. As a figure skater, I’m very responsible, active, and dependable. I enjoy spending time outdoors and giving pets lots of attention, exercise, and cuddles. I have a mostly flexible schedule with figure skating training sessions in the afternoons most days. I am able to provide lots of pet care in my schedule throughout weekdays and weekends. With morning and evening walks. I follow instructions well. I am commited to following each pets routine well. Providing each pet with a fun and calm experience. By giving the right amount of food at the right time. Supervising the pets at all times. Providing long walks as well as lots attention and cuddles.

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 have never left my dog with someone I don’t know before and I am so lucky to have found Dionne. She was amazing. Took the time to first do a meet and greet and understand my dog. Paid attention to all his needs. Gave me updates daily. Left the house absolutely beautiful. She is such a lovely, kind person. I would highly recommend her.
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!!!!
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!
Deborah was lovely to have stay in my home and to look after my fur family. My dogs loved her on first meeting. She took wonderful care of both my dogs and my cat. I received pictures daily of walks and relaxing times around the house. I was very happy and felt comfortable leaving my pets in her care while I was away. I would definitely have Deborah look after them again in the future if needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cochrane on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,163 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cochrane. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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, 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:
- 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.
