Andre was consistent in his care for Tucker, ensuring his meds were administered on time and his food and water were fresh. His love of pets shows and I’d definitely use his services again.

We cannot say enough good things about Ana! We were in a pickle finding someone to watch and feed our cat Zantar. He needs his insulin twice a day so it's a huge ask. Ana had no problem doing the insulin needles and being able to come twice a day. Ana was so friendly, and I immediately felt comfortable when we did a meet & greet. She sent us update messages throughout the week and was easy to contact. We will definitely use her again in the future :) :) Thank you again Ana!

About: Having senior pets takes an incredible amount of compassion and patience. I have personally had several pets live beyond their years due to a lot of love and attention to behaviours that communicate their needs (meds, food, grooming, love, attention, exercise, play, rest) Monday to Friday, I am available from 4pm daily and overnight until 7am. I have weekends and school holidays available to care for pets full time. At the client's home, I provide for the physical and emotional needs of the pets- food, water, any medications, cages and litter cleaning and play/exercise, basic grooming. Owners provide sensory toys, games and treats so I can engage their pets and provide a stimulating environment.

About: I’ve always had dogs all my life. I’ve cared for them and trained them as well. Retrievers, Setters, Beagles, A German Shepard, Border Collie, Pitbull, Yorkies and more! I will always have gogs and cats in my life. I’m currently layed off from the oil patch and expect I will for some time. I am free days and nights and will be finding other employment locally, maybe a professional walker…sounds good to me! I have a Yorkie and a cat. I do multiple walks daily with both. The cat like to ride in a stroller. She knows when it’s time and jumps into the stroller herself.

About: Now that I have your attention with that clever headline, I am a 30 year old flight attendant that has grown up with animals my whole life. From bunnies, to cats, to dogs, they aren't just pets to me, they are family. This is a great opportunity for me to spend time with your fur-babies while providing the same care and attention that I would give to my own. I love long walks and can't wait to explore new places while getting to know your animal's personality! Trusting a stranger with your pet isn't easy but I'm confident in my ability to truly connect and provide for your animal's specific needs until you're back home. I'm currently taking some time off from flying so I have open availability. Message me if you have any questions! With an open availability, I'm excited to create an on going relationship with you and your pet. Ideally I'd prefer morning/afternoon appointments but I am also open to evening if needed :) Since I don’t have a yard, I have decided it’s in your pets best interest to only offer dog walking services and care at your home.

About: Pets have been my world my entire life, from childhood companions to the furry family members who still fill my home today. I’m not just a sitter; I’m the person who notices every little tail wag, who sits on the floor for extra cuddles, and who gives undivided attention because your animals deserve to feel truly loved and secure. For years, friends, family, and neighbors have counted on me to care for their pets during long absences where I spend time walking, feeding, playing, and spoiling them for days (or even weeks) at a time. No rushed visits here: your pets get my full heart and focus, just like my own. Choose me for care that’s deeply personal, endlessly patient, and built on a lifetime of real animal love. Pet care fits seamlessly and joyfully into my daily and weekly routine because I have a highly flexible schedule that lets me put animals first, always. Even on days when I’m not pet sitting, I make time to prioritize my own beloved animals: curling up for long snuggle sessions, giving endless chin scratches, playing fetch, and sharing affectionate moments that keep our bond strong. This same level of devotion carries over to every pet I care for, whether it’s multiple visits for walks and play, overnight stays, or just being present for lap time and gentle attention. I’m never rushed or distracted; your animals get my full heart and focus, just like mine do at home. I provide all pet care exclusively in your home, so your cats, dogs, or other furry family members never have to face the stress of a new environment. They stay surrounded by their familiar scents, favorite toys, cozy spots, and daily routines. Safety and trust come first: I follow your instructions precisely, secure doors and windows, respect all household rules, and treat your home with the utmost care, leaving everything exactly as I found it (or even tidier). With my lifelong passion for animals, I create a calm, loving atmosphere filled with tailored attention, whether it’s energetic play and walks for dogs, gentle lap time and chin scratches for cats, fresh meals and water on schedule, potty breaks, litter box scooping, or just quiet companionship so they feel completely secure and adored while you’re away. Owners love how relaxed, happy, and content their pets remain, knowing their home and beloved animals are in truly trustworthy, attentive hands.

About: Taking care of animals has always been a big part of my life. I grew up with pets and still share my home with them today, so being around animals feels natural to me. I’m not someone who rushes in and out. I take my time, pay attention, and make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m big on the little moments and always make space for extra affection, play, and quiet cuddle time. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to watch their pets while they’re away, sometimes for days or even weeks. Those stats are filled with walks, meals, playtime, and most of all plenty of love that is never rushed. When your pet is with me, they’re treated just like my own, with patience, kindness, and genuine care. If you want someone who will care for your pets like family, I’d be happy to help. Pets are a big part of my daily life, and I love caring for them. I’m a first-year Open Studies student at the University of Calgary, and with a light course load, I have a flexible schedule to give your pets the attention they deserve. I also play on the Dino’s women’s soccer team, bringing the same energy, focus, and dedication to caring for pets as I do on the field. My own pets are spoiled with cuddles, playtime, and lots of affection, even on days when I’m not pet sitting. That same love and patience goes into caring for every animal I look after, whether they need walks, visits throughout the day, overnight care, or quiet lap time. I take my time with each pet and make sure they feel calm, comfortable, and truly cared for. I provide all pet care right in your home, so your cats, dogs, or other furry family members can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment with their favorite toys, cozy spots, and daily routines. I follow your instructions carefully, secure doors and windows, respect all household rules, and treat your home with the same care I would my own. With a lifelong love of animals, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s walks and playtime for dogs, gentle cuddles and chin scratches for cats, fresh meals and water, potty breaks, litter box care, or just quiet companionship, I give attention that’s tailored to each pet’s needs. Owners appreciate how relaxed and content their pets remain, knowing both their home and furry family members are in caring, trustworthy hands.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats most of my life, my partner and I have been fostering dogs with Pound Rescue for 2 years. We currently have 1 dog and 3 cats and have between 1-2 foster dogs I’m currently working full time but most of my work is done on Weekends or from home, so during the day during the week I’m usually pretty wide open I have a fenced yard. I take my dog and any foster dogs that are ready to the off leash parks in Okotoks. Also do leash walks with my dog as I feel it’s good for him to have leash manners as well as being able to have a free run at the dog park

About: I've always enjoyed my time around dogs, I've grown up having them in the family and couldn't imagine life without them. I would love the opportunity to take care of your little friends too ! I have some free time right now as I've just moved back to the area & would love to take any requests for house/pet sitting, it would be my main priority! I know how important routine is & I never want stress to affect your pets while you're away from them. I always try my best to stick to whatever a normal day in their lives would look like.

Dana was excellent We have 4 dogs and she came on Cmas day to our house which is quite far outside of the city limits-to check on them as well looked to make sure all the horses were accounted for as they are turned out. She went above and beyond and even left treats and toys for the dogs. Highly recommend!

About: Hi, I’m Olivia! I’m 25 and have 8 years of experience as a Veterinary Technician Assistant in emergency and surgical care. I grew up on a farm in Alberta surrounded by animals—dogs, cats, horses, sheep, and cows—and I’ve loved them all my life. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I promise to treat your pup like family—with love, care, and lots of attention (plus treats, if allowed!). I’m comfortable with all breeds, ages, and even pets with quirky personalities or special medical needs. I’d love to meet your furry friend! I work weekdays from 7 AM to 4 PM, but I’m available most weekends and any evening after 4. If your pet is okay being home during the day, I’m happy to provide morning and evening care—or drop in for walks and check-ins! I do my best to follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Sticking to familiar habits can make a big difference, especially for pets who get stressed when their family isn’t around.

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - High River

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in High River on Rover is $27.75 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 1,133 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in High River. About 89% of High River 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 High River 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 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!

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
