“We really appreciated Andre’s help looking after our mini schnauzer and home while away for a few days. He’s a great communicator and made our short vacation easy knowing our pooch was in good hands.”
“We have a new puppy and an older dog who just had his remaining eye removed. Both pups required special care and Jodi was just the best! She was here on Easter Sunday and gave us the freedom to go visit family and not take the new pup or recovering dog with us. I would recommend Jodi to anyone who wants excellent care for their fur babies.”
“Tesa did an amazing job looking after my fur babies! We got lots of updates, pictures, and videos! Our house was very clean. The pups seemed very relaxed and happy especially after all the walks Tesa took them for. Absolutely zero problems and no stress whatsoever ❤️ we definitely recommend Tesa, she is extremely reliable and very conscientious.”
“I was relieved to have Kenzie staying with my little old dog. She sent pictures and videos of him and he seemed so content. Her communication was great and she left my house spotless. I would definitely use her again.”
“Although Laurie had our animals watch the Green Bay packers game when they are Chicago bears fans… She was amazing! And took great care of our boys, and our house when we went away for our honeymoon in Greece. She provided us with constant updates and lots of pictures :) Thanks again for everything Laurie.”
“Nicholas did a stellar job of taking care of our doggos. Keeping us up-to-date with pics and updates made us feel so much comfort! We would definitely recommend Nicholas for dog sitting and we hope to have him back to sit our dogs in the future”
About: Greetings! I am a retired stay at home grandma. I have owned Shih-Tzu for25+ years. After having lost two, Molly to kidney issues and Buddy at 16, Oliver(5) is now my companion. I would love for him to have friends over to play ☺️ He needs some friendly company❤️ As I am retired, I do not work out of my home. On occasion my grand daughters (7/8) or grandson (9) come over, and they love pets. I go for long walks with my own dog most days, so pet sitting/walking fits my life style very well. I have a townhouse with a deck and patio, opening onto a green space. I am located across from a large grassed field and walking paths leading to parks and wetlands. My home is well kept and your pet will have a good combination of rest/activity in a safe and fun environment.
“Gabriella was available on short notice very prompt in responding to our request. It was our first time leaving our dog with someone and we were traveling overseas, so we were a bit nervous. She has a very calm and gentle nature and we know she took very good care of our Lily. We would definitely hire Gabriella again.”
“Madison is WONDERFUL. We had such a great experience with her, she took amazing care of our 2 labs, last minute even! She was on time and communicated at all stages of the booking. It truly felt like having a family member stay. Highly recommend her! 10/10”
“Allison has been amazing with our puppy Odin . He is a rescue and shy , she was calm and gentle with him . When we went away, she house sit for our dog and rabbit . He went on adventures everyday and had a better vacation than us ! We were updated everyday with many pictures which I appreciated leaving him alone for the first time. She is amazing !”
“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.”
About: Hi! I’m Maria, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs—as well as cats with all kinds of personalities. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, potty training, feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after pets, administering oral medication when instructed, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I understand that every animal is different, so I always take the time to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable and happy. For dog walks, I typically offer 30- or 60-minute walks, making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, and enrichment while staying safe at all times. During drop-in visits, I feed pets, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, give medications if needed, and spend quality time playing or relaxing with them—whatever they enjoy most. If I’m providing house sitting or overnight care, I’ll stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule to reduce stress while you’re away. I’ll also keep your home tidy and respect your space. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. If an emergency ever arises, I will contact you immediately and, if necessary, seek veterinary care based on the instructions you’ve provided. I’m calm under pressure and always put your pet’s well-being first. I know how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member, which is why I’ll send regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how they’re doing. I have reliable transportation, a flexible schedule, and experience caring for both dogs and cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you return. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet, and I look forward to becoming someone you can trust whenever you need reliable, compassionate care. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and pet care throughout the week. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s usual schedule and provide reliable, consistent care whenever you need it. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. During walks, I always keep dogs securely leashed unless instructed otherwise in a safe, enclosed area. In your home, I’ll treat both your pet and your space with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and secure. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“We had a fantastic experience with our Rachel and Jason! They stayed at our house for a full week and took excellent care of our doggo. From the start, communication was clear and consistent, and we really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got back. It was obvious he received lots of attention, exercise, and affection. Our home was also left clean and tidy, which we really appreciated after traveling. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of our pup!”
“Amazing woman to care for my pet California She was so at peace with Ja-Lynn & I am looking forward to using her again for my future in home pet sitting needs Thanks you for the professionalism! 🐶❤️🙏🏽”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have never gone without having one by my side, so looking after them feels completely natural to me. While I was away at university, I even fostered a couple of dogs because I missed having that companionship so much it was incredibly rewarding to give them love and stability while they waited for their forever homes. I’m comfortable with a range of needs, from energetic puppies who benefit from consistent routines and basic training, to senior dogs who need a gentler, more attentive approach. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I build with every dog I care for as I treat them like my own. Recently, I lost my two dogs, and while I’m not quite ready to bring a new puppy into my home, caring for others’ pets feels like the perfect way to keep sharing that love, attention, and companionship that dogs deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make it a priority in my day. I’m currently working part-time with a chiropractic internship from Monday to Thursday, which still leaves me with plenty of time and energy to give your dog the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m available on weekdays after 4pm as well as on weekends, making it easy for me to accommodate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or overnight care. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to making sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. At my place, I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and supervised play. There is also one friendly 2-year-old Havanese (my parents’ dog), so I’m mindful of introductions and always make sure all dogs feel comfortable and safe. I can easily crate your dog if that’s part of their routine, or they’re welcome to have free roam of the house if preferred. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible to keep things consistent and stress-free. My goal is always to create a trustworthy, secure environment where your pet feels relaxed, cared for, and right at home.
“Kaitlyn was great! Got lots of pictures of my pets throughout her stay and came home to a clean and tidy home. Kaitlyn was communicative about my cat’s medical needs as well as my senior dog.”
About: I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming, administering treats, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. What sets me apart is my patience and ability to recognize changes in a pet’s behaviour and needs. I’m especially attentive to pets who may be nervous or take time to warm up to new people. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’m also happy to maintain their usual routines and provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. I’m flexible and can accommodate different pet-care schedules based on your pet’s routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on the booking. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific schedule and make sure they receive consistent care and attention while you’re away. I always make safety, comfort, and trust my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications if required, and playtime, while carefully following the owner’s instructions. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel comfortable and supervised. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape routes are secure. I also pay close attention to pets’ behaviour and surroundings and will communicate with the owner promptly if I notice anything unusual. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners can feel comfortable and confident while they’re apart.
About: Hi, my name is Siobhan (pronounced Sha-von). I’m a huge animal lover and can guarantee I’ll fall in love with your pets. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, always making sure their pets are safe, well cared for, and spoiled with love. My current schedule allows me to have flexibility, so I can adjust based on you and your pet’s needs. This helps me provide consistency and reliability. I will treat your space and pets with respect and care, like I would my own. I always follow instructions provided and prioritize communication during pets stays, walks and check-ins. To reassure you, I can happily send photos, updates and live location tracking on dog walks.

20/10. Andre is awesome. The perfect amount of responsible and relaxed. I didn’t worry about my dog once while I was gone and he left my house looking perfect. He communicated well - just the right amount and was quick to reply to any message I sent. Friendly, respectful and great with dogs. I will absolutely use him again.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in High River 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 High River 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 High River 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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
