About: With decades of real-life experience caring for animals and homes, I provide professional, personalized and dependable pet care. My goal is to build lasting relationships with the families I serve while ensuring their pets feel safe, comfortable and loved. I'm a Certified Pet First Aid Provider, with additional training in animal wellness and extensive experience caring for puppies, adult and senior pets, including those requiring specialized attention. 📍 Where I Provide Care I offer professional pet care and house-sitting services on Vancouver Island, BC, throughout the Okotoks/South Calgary area and in communities along my travel route between British Columbia and Alberta. As I divide my time between these locations throughout the year, I welcome both one-time and recurring bookings whenever I'm in your area. 🐾 Personalized Care for Every Pet As a lifelong pet owner, I understand that every animal has a unique personality, from playful and social to shy, independent, anxious or sensitive. I take the time to understand your pet's individual needs, routines and personality, creating a calm, predictable environment where they feel safe and secure in their own familiar surroundings. My experience includes: 🐶 Puppies requiring patience, consistency and routine reinforcement. 🐕 Adult and senior pets with individual exercise, mobility or comfort needs. 💊 Pets requiring medication administration or additional physical assistance. 🤍 Anxious, fearful or reactive pets who benefit from a calm, patient approach and time to build trust. My observant nature allows me to recognize subtle changes in behaviour, appetite and energy. I'll keep you informed with regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. 🏡 Your Home Is in Caring Hands I understand the trust involved in leaving both your beloved pets and your home in someone else's care. I bring a reliable, respectful and detail-oriented approach to every booking, maintaining your pet's established routines while treating your home with the same consideration I would my own. For overnight stays, I travel fully equipped with my own portable bed, bedding, towels and cooler. This allows me to settle in comfortably while minimizing disruption and keeping your home tidy. 🌿 Additional Care Needs Every pet deserves care suited to their individual needs. My Puppy/Enhanced Care Rate also applies to pets requiring additional time, attention or specialized care, regardless of age. This may include: 🐾 Puppies requiring frequent potty breaks, training reinforcement or close supervision. 🐾 Senior pets needing additional mobility assistance, frequent outings or more involved care routines. 🐾 Special-needs pets requiring medication, mobility support or individualized attention. 🐾 Anxious, fearful or reactive pets requiring additional supervision and a gradual, patient approach. A pet's age alone does not determine whether enhanced care is necessary. We'll discuss their individual requirements before confirming your booking. Please note: Pets requiring continuous supervision or those who cannot comfortably be left alone may require an individualized care arrangement and rate. 🗓️ Extended Stays — 10+ Nights I welcome extended house and pet-sitting bookings and offer a preferred nightly rate for qualifying stays of 10 nights or longer. Please note the following conditions: The extended-stay rate applies to regular overnight care only. Holiday dates and bookings requiring enhanced or specialized care are excluded from the discounted rate. Additional-pet charges remain at their regular rates. All extended bookings are subject to availability and a discussion of your pets' individual care requirements. 🐾 🫶 My Commitment to You As a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Certified Natural Supplement Advisor, Energy Therapist and Certified Pet First Aid Provider, with ongoing education in animal wellness, I bring a unique combination of professional knowledge, practical experience and compassionate, heart-led care. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your furry family members are receiving dependable, attentive care and being treated as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!!! As someone who is location-independent and runs a remote/mobile Wholistic Wellness business. I have the flexibility to travel and spend meaningful time with animals in their home. I create a calm, safe environment by following your pet’s routine, offering attentive care and helping them feel secure, settled and supported in your home.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and the energy they bring. I especially enjoy getting out for walks, and having a dog as a companion makes that time even better. It’s honestly one of my favorite ways to spend a day. I’m fairly new to the world of dog walking and sitting, most of my experience coming in the last 4 years. I may be newer, but that doesn’t mean I lack the necessary experience. I’ve worked with different temperaments and ages, from high-energy dogs to older ones that need a slower, more gentle pace. I’m comfortable following routines, including walks, feeding schedules, and any specific care instructions. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and I want you to feel like you’re leaving your dog with someone who has as much love to give as you do. I am working part-time, I’m currently doing evening bartending shifts, so I will be available nearly all hours of the early day and 3-4 days a week I will be available in the evenings as well, usually varies what days:) Providing a safe and comfortable environment is always my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and low-stress. I’m attentive during walks, mindful of surroundings, and careful to follow any instructions around feeding, medications, or behaviour. At the same time, I make sure each pet gets the kind of care and attention that suits them best. Whether that’s a slower, relaxed pace for a senior dog or more active walks and playtime for a high-energy pup, I adjust to what keeps them happy and comfortable. My goal is to create a balanced environment where your pet feels secure, well cared for, and genuinely enjoys their time while you’re away. I am always happy to send picture updates as I go through my day, of the happy pups and their smiling faces as they go about on their walks.
“Sharlene was very patient and caring with my cat. She kept me updated and I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in good hands. Very reliable and trustworthy, highly recommended!”
“Dorothy was very kind, I appreciated getting updates and pictures from her visit with my pups. She even took on my daughters little dog at the last minute which was so nice of her.”
About: With 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I have a genuine love for animals and understand just how much they mean to their families. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of love and attention. Whether your furry friend loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I always do my best to make them feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own, because I know they’re not just pets, they’re family! ❤️🐾 Working from home allows me to be fully present for pets’ needs throughout the day - feeding, walks, playtime, and comfort whenever they need it! I prefer house sitting at the client’s home so pets remain comfortable in their own environment. Keeping their normal routine, sleeping spots, and feeding schedule reduces stress. I also send regular photo updates so owners always have peace of mind!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hilliers is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $43 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 208 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Hilliers. About 78% of Hilliers 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.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Hilliers 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 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
