“Karen is so great! Excellent communication and she always sends pictures and/or videos. My cat really took to her and I'm so grateful. It made working late so much easier to know that my lil kitty was getting the attention and care she needed. I would highly recommend Karen!”

“Gina is amazing! She was very accommodating, and showed up on time. Very easy and friendly to communicate with. Caesar enjoyed her company and even warmed up enough to sit on her lap after only the second day. She cleaned up his dish and litter and made sure he got his pills. Will definitely be asking her back next time we go away.”


“It’s always a pleasure knowing our kitties are in the loving and capable hands of Tracey and Scott. They are simply wonderful people who genuinely care about our furry family members. We couldn’t ask for better cat sitters! 🐾❤️”

About: My pet care experience started 10 years ago - my dad took me to his best friends house and they told me their dog loved going on adventures but they weren’t able to get out much. From there I started pickup him up for walks and hikes, and eventually I ended up pet sitting a bunch of different times. My favourite memory was when he hopped the fence and ran next door and waited for me at the basement suite door because he knew I was cleaning it. We became inseparable! Eventually I got my own dog, became friends with a dog trainer and have spent so many hours working and learning as much as I can about dogs. My kiddo is a little older and now I’d love to offer services to others. I work remotely taking clients so I am available most days of the week t take care of your furry friends! We have lots of green space at nearby parks for decompressing and sniffing and live in a great neighbourhood for dog walks. I have a fully fenced yard, as well as a fenced dog run. Inside the house I do require dogs to be crate trained for overnights. I offer dogs clear communication and structure in my home, with a guarantee their needs will be met. One of my best friends is a dog trainer and I work heavily with my own dog to ensure needs like prey drive (play) and pack drive are met. As well as plenty of time to decompress.
“Thank you for looking after our kitty while we were away. We especially appreciated your patience with her ear meds and your flexibility with timing. It made a big difference for us knowing she was well cared for.”

About: As a family of six we ran a dog boarding care facility for over a decade. Fur babies have been our companions for most our lives. We enjoy outdoor exercise time with dogs. The company of a pet while relaxing at home is second to none. Life is only as good as the company you keep. We are a stay at home business owning family. With 6 of us and our friends and family coming or going throughout the day there is someone almost always home. Our boys are 22, 20 and 18 years and our daughter is now 9 years of age. We love cuddles and outdoor walks/jogs with dogs. Over night stays welcome or Pawsitive Pet Playcare! We are happy to accommodate your regular routine so your pet care is consistent while you are away. In Summer 2023, we welcomed a Yorkshire terror into our family. She’s been fun. Seen as dogs come with various personalities and traits we will enjoy getting to know your dog and socializing yours with ours. We can separate our dog from yours if necessary. If your dog is allowed to be on couch or bed we can accommodate that at our home.

About: SAHM who just finished training our Frenchton puppy after a short break from saying good bye to our husky mix of 15 years. I've been the "Go-to" for friends who need their doggies cared for. I love walking, I'm patient and will treat your dog like it's my own fur baby. I'm a part time clinic administrator and work pet care before and after my shifts.

We're a family of four - mom, dad and 15 and 12 year boys!

She followed our instructions, perfectly for our dogs - one who is grumpy with strangers and the other who is blind and has to negotiate stairs. She sent great pictures and was very courteous and friendly. Definitely recommend…”

About: What sets me apart is my focus on personalized, low-stress walks tailored to your pup’s needs—whether it’s a gentle stroll for seniors or energetic play for puppies plus real-time updates. I volunteered for several years at the humane society, walking dogs daily and working closely with cats to help them feel safe and socialized. In Cochrane, I’m an adoptions counsellor, matching families with their perfect pets. At home, I’ve cared for my own exotic birds for years and of course I have my own little dog, Hanna, (who was the very first client I took out for walks!). I’ve also ridden horses for many years and currently have a rehab horse I’m gently nursing back to health. I absolutely adore all pets especially senior animals and have lots of experience providing the extra patience, gentle care, and attention they need (Hanna is a senior but still thinks she’s a pup…), whether it’s helping with mobility, or just offering quiet companionship. This diverse background equips me with skills in puppy socialization, basic training, senior care, and even unique pets like birds or horses. I love building trust with every animal and their owner, no matter their age or needs! So, I can’t wait to meet yours :) As a university student, I’m reliably available in the evenings for visits or walks. On a given day, I can also fit in early morning walks if that works best for your pet’s schedule, I’m very flexible! Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. In your home I follow your instructions exactly for feeding, routines, playtime, and any special needs. I double-check doors and gates, provide lots of attention and cuddles, and keep everything secure. I treat your home with respect—tidy on arrival, tidier when I leave! You’ll get regular photo updates so you can relax and have that peace of mind you deserve! With my shelter, adoption, and personal animal experience, I’m calm, reliable, and great at helping pets feel safe and loved in their familiar space. Happy to chat about your pet’s needs!
About: I've been a dog owner since the age of 10 and have experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I enjoy staying active and love taking dogs on walks, hikes, and outdoor adventures. I'm currently completing a master's program at the University of Alberta, which gives me flexibility during the day for walks, drop-ins and pet care. My evenings and weekends are also open and I love spending time walking around the river valley. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your routines closely to ensure consistency and minimize stress. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to create a dependable, active and enjoyable care for your furry family.
“Our experience with Jacqueline was a 10/10! She gave our cat the royal treatment from start to finish. Not only did she provide extra care and feeding she also left our home immaculate. We received fun pics and updates every day and it was clear that she really loves cats, as much as we do! I would highly recommend Jacqueline for any pet care - she is super responsible.”

About: As a holistic health practitioner and lifelong animal lover, I bring a calm, grounded presence and deep attunement to every dog I care for. Each pup is unique, and I take the time to truly understand their energy, temperament, and needs—whether they thrive on adventure, prefer gentle companionship, or simply want a safe lap to rest on. With me, your dog will be treated like family. I provide personalized walks, play, and comfort, always with safety and wellbeing as the top priority. My clients trust me for my thoughtful attention, reliable communication, and the genuine love I bring to every visit. I’m here to make sure your dog not only feels cared for while you’re away, but also supported in ways that nurture their joy, confidence, and sense of security. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I walk myself 3 times a day and often like to explore. Walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddle breaks naturally blend into my flow, and I always make sure each pet gets the attention and love they need. Whether it’s a calm companion or an energetic pup, I can meet them where their at. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the animals and the space with deep respect and care, as if they were my own. I ensure your pets get lots of outdoor time and exercise for a good night's rest! I take time to connect with each pet so they feel safe, seen, and loved while their family is away. Cleanliness, communication, and calm presence are my priorities, so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet (and home) are in nurturing hands.
About: I have a huge passion for dogs and taking care of their needs! I grew up with a boxer and an old English bulldog. I raised them from puppies and gave them the best home possible! I have helped many of my friends with their dogs, I have stayed in house for people watching their pets and dogs while they were away. I would love to use my services to come along side you and help you with your furry friends to give them fun and playful walks, pee breaks, feeds or whatever it is you may need!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. I’ve fostered dogs ranging from young puppies to rescue cases coming from neglect, so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs and personalities. I also worked at a dog and cat boarding kennel, where I supervised playgroups and cared for a wide variety of client pets. This experience made me very confident in reading canine body language, managing group dynamics, and ensuring every pet stays safe, comfortable, and happy. With a background in veterinary medicine as a Wildlife Biologist, I’m confident administering medications, monitoring vital signs, and keeping a close eye on your pet’s overall health and wellbeing. You can trust that your pet is in capable, attentive hands. I’m also very active—I’ve spent years hiking in the Rockies, so whether your dog loves long walks, runs, or high-energy play, I can easily keep up! As a former dog owner of 14 years, I understand the special care and patience senior dogs need, as well as the deep bond we share with our pets. In addition, I’ve taken training courses and worked closely with my foster dogs on skills like crate training and leash manners to help set them up for success. Your pet will be treated like family, with lots of love, attention, and personalized care. I have recently completed my Masters degree and am doing some online coursework to continue building my skillset so my schedule is very open and flexible to the needs of your pet! I take safety and comfort very seriously, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I’ve created a pet-friendly environment with potential hazards in mind, any plants are kept in a closed-off room so they’re completely inaccessible, and since there are no children in the home, there are no small toys or choking risks present. My space is also senior-friendly, with only one stair, making it easier and safer for older dogs or those with mobility concerns. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, including monitoring water intake based on their breed, activity level, and the weather, to ensure they stay properly hydrated and healthy. Overall, I aim to provide a calm, secure, and attentive environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cochrane
Zoe was awesome taking our booking with super short notice. She was fast to respond and had great communication. She managed our blind Chihuahua on difficult RV steps, and made friends with our other grumpy Chihuahua. Zoe sent great pictures and updated us after the drop-in. I definitely recommend her.

Kristen was wonderful. She accepted our booking for drop-in visits very last minute. She was fast to respond and communicated clearly. She followed our instructions, perfectly for our dogs - one who is grumpy with strangers and the other who is blind and has to negotiate stairs. She sent great pictures and was very courteous and friendly. Definitely recommend…

Sara has been wonderful! We adopted a rescue who takes time to warm up to people and he gravitated to her right away. He is still learning his new space and Sara has been working with me to help him with that, especially when on leash outside. I was so nervous about this whole process but Sara has set my mind at ease with it all. I will continue to book her services as long as she is available!

Gayle did an amazing job of looking after our two cats while we were away for two weeks. You can tell that she genuinely loves animals and they loved her right back. Gayle kept us well informed and sent plenty of pictures. I would happily hire her again to look after our cats as we know they are in good hands.

Lyndsie is amazing! She kept our two French bulldogs company while we were away for a week. She came everyday to let them outside, and play with them. She sent us pictures and updates, which we loved so much! We will be calling Lyndsie again in the near future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Cochrane on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,854 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Cochrane. About 88% of Cochrane 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 Cochrane 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 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!
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.
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.
