About: Hi, I’m Mollie! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently work in a veterinary clinic, which has given me experience handling pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and needing a little extra care, or simply happiest sticking to their normal routine, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m comfortable administering basic medications, monitoring for changes in behavior or health, and following detailed care instructions. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’d love the opportunity to meet them and help keep their routine as stress-free as possible. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work full-time at a veterinary clinic and am available for pet care before and after work, as well as evenings and weekends. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and will do my best to provide reliable, consistent care that fits their needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, feeding, medication, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow all instructions carefully, maintain their normal routine, and ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed and will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Mike took absolutely fantastic care of my two cats and kept me informed and updated throughout the whole time he was house sitting. My cats are usually a little skittish around new people but they loved Mike’s calm energy immediately.”
“Teri is phenomenal. She is punctual and thoughtful and took excellent care of our dogs. One of our dogs is high energy and the other is a 150-lb puppy and she is capable of managing both without issue. I highly recommend Teri!”
“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!!!❤️”
“Stacey came with her senior dog companion My dog was thrilled to have a friend. They did get into a bit of mischief but had a good few days . Stacey was prompt and very organized. She looked after my home and my family of pets just fine. I would recommend her and her companion.”
“Mehak was wonderful dogsitter for our 17 year old Heidi! Mehak was great with her, taking her for several walks each day, as well as playing and just chilling with her. She sent us daily updates with photos over the 10 days she took care of Heidi. Mehak was also very respectful of our home, bringing her own food, cleaning up, and leaving the house spotless. Wish she wasn't moving, otherwise we would have zero reservation about using Meehak again!”
“Danielle was amazing! She stayed at our home for three days and went above and beyond. The house was spotless when we returned, and she kept the dogs active and happy the entire time. She was especially patient and attentive with our senior dog, who has quite a few limitations, and managed his needs with so much care and understanding. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I’ll definitely be having her back again — highly recommend!”
About: Hi, my name is Zoe and I would love to help you take care of your dog or cat! I am available over the winter holidays! I have five years of experience volunteering at AARCS animal shelter with dogs of all shapes and sizes. At the animal shelter I feed walk and cuddle with some less fortunate dogs. The work I do there is very rewarding as I am sure it will be with your dog too! Since June 2020 I have also been working part time at a doggy day care where I specialize in loving dogs. I have lots of experience with dogs and am comfortable with any breed or age. My family owns a cat and I am comfortable taking care of them too! I am looking forward to working with you and your dog or cat whether it be walking, drop in visits or overnight dog sitting! I work remotely so I will be able to spend lots of time with your dog or cat! I love to walk and run and would enjoy having a buddy to do that with. I will show your pet love and attention, and provide updates if wanted. I’ll make sure your dog or cat gets all their energy out in the day.
“Madison was incredible! She house-sat for us and took amazing care of our two girls while we were away. She kept us updated with photos and messages, followed all of our instructions, and went above and beyond to make sure our pups were comfortable and happy. She even took it upon herself to keep an eye on our snake, even though we did not expect her to! We came home to happy pups and a spotless house, which was so appreciated after a day of travelling. We felt completely at ease knowing Madison was with our girls- this is the third or fourth time we have had her over to dog sit and highly recommend her to anyone needing a trusted house sitter and dog lover!”
“This has been my best experience with Rover in all these years. Tare Jo is an absolute gem. She had to deal with some aggression issues between her dog and mine, and she worked through it and found resolution without blame or judgement. The dogs were exercised multiple times per day and she kept in touch regularly with the sweetest of photos. My place was left cleaner than when I left, and all the bedding and towels were cleaned. Tara Jo is so very skilled, and I will certainly reach out to her in the future.”
“Tyler looked after our house, garden and dog during our two week summer vacation. He did an amazing job! The house was cleaner than we had left it, our flowers and vegetable garden were flourishing, and Zuzu was as content as ever. We highly recommend Tyler!”
About: have a background in customer service and a general passion for animals. With my previous multiple years of experience in dog walking and pet sitting and my current experience in taking care of not only big and small dogs at home but also cats I am very confident in my ability to contribute to your pets needs and wants I’m currently looking for a job and due to taking a gap year my schedule is incredibly flexible and would love to accommodate around yours I am very gentle and understanding with pets especially younger and really old ones I have experience with older and younger animals and know how to behave and care for them accordingly due to their size,age,heath conations,breeds exc
About: I currently work at a professional pet hotel, daycare, and boarding facility, where I care for dogs and cats with a wide variety of personalities, needs, and energy levels. I have experience safely handling dogs of all sizes, from tiny pups to extra-large breeds which can range from <5lb to 140lb, and regularly supervise groups of 10–15 dogs at a time. My responsibilities include maintaining a safe and controlled environment, monitoring interactions, recognizing changes in behaviour, and ensuring each dog receives an appropriate balance of exercise, enrichment, play, rest, and affection. I understand that successful pet care is not only about keeping animals active and it is also about helping them feel calm, comfortable, and secure. Through my work, I have cared for puppies, senior pets, blind dogs, nervous or sensitive animals, and pets with health concerns that require additional patience and careful handling. Every animal is different, so I adapt my approach to their individual personality, routine, physical abilities, and comfort level while closely following the instructions provided by their family. I am also a pet parent to a dog and a cat, a Miniature Schnauzer puppy, and a wonderfully sweet boy cat. Caring for my own animals has given me firsthand experience with puppy energy, senior-pet needs, multi-pet households, and plenty of unique personalities. I will treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own! As a recent university graduate working part-time at a pet hotel facility, I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I can accommodate weekdays, weekends, daytime visits, and overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. Caring for animals is already a natural part of my daily routine, and I am happy to work around each pet’s established feeding, walking, play, and rest schedule. I care for every pet according to their individual personality, routine, comfort level, and family’s instructions. I prioritize safety by closely supervising pets, monitoring their body language, securing doors and gates, and making sure dogs are properly leashed before leaving the home. During visits, I provide an appropriate balance of exercise, enrichment, affection, and calm time without forcing interaction. I am experienced with pets of different sizes, ages, temperaments, and physical needs, and I understand when an animal needs additional patience or personal space. In a client’s home, I will treat both the pet and the property with care and respect. I will maintain your pet’s normal routine, keep their environment clean and secure, and provide dependable updates and photos so you can feel confident that they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I have always had a special connection to animals. I have lots of experience with large to small dogs. I love going on multiple walks with the pups as well as taking them on hikes out to the mountains (if that is something you wish). I have no problem taking them to a dog park as I have an suv. I will send updates on your animals with pictures and videos. I myself have a cat so I have a lot of experience with felines as well. You can count on me to give your fur babes the best love,attention, cuddles and care. If you would like me to stay at your home overnight I will treat it as my own and make sure to leave it in pristine condition. I look forwards to meeting you and making new furry friends.
About: ** No longer taking reservations for 2018 - I work with dogs professionally. What started as a part time job has quickly changed my whole life- dogs are it now. I have experience with rescue dogs, seniors, tiny tiny toy breeds, special needs dogs (deaf, blind, epileptic), giant dogs and even aggressive dogs (I have the scars to prove it) I’m happy step in as a surrogate pet parent for anyone because I know this is my calling. I would never give service I wouldn’t accept for my little one. Dogs become members of your family and that’s how I will treat them, the same as I treat my own or my clients at work. I find that every dog has something special to offer and just need the right person to make them feel comfortable.
“Carmen was fantastic. Our 3 dogs were very happy when we got home. Carmen was very responsive and left our house in great condition. She went above and beyond, even going as far as to shovel our driveway off after a big snowfall! Would highly recommend Caremn to anyone looking for a house/pet sitter.”

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Didsbury 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 Didsbury 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 Didsbury 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 .

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
