“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.”
“Erin was terrific. She communicated well, took care of Koda and our home very well ... everything was tidy and it great shape upon our return. She sent us some photos each day we were away. We would use Erin's services again.”
“We were absolutely thrilled with the care Liza provided for our two cats over the holidays! From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals. Both of our cats have their own unique personalities and needs and Liza handled both with such care and patience. She followed our detailed instructions perfectly, from feeding them at their specific times to making sure each cat got the right amount of attention. We were especially impressed by the daily updates, which included adorable photos and notes about how the cats were doing—this really reassured us while we were away. It was clear that the cats were comfortable and happy. We returned to find the house in perfect order, and most importantly, both cats were relaxed and content. It was clear they were in excellent hands the whole time we were away. Liza is trustworthy, caring, and professional, the ideal sitter for anyone looking for top-notch care. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“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!”
“Felix and Rachel were absolutely amazing, they took very good care of our 8 month old Great Dane puppy. They ensured that she had enough exercise, even took her on little outings that she absolutely loved! Highly recommend Felix and Rachel!”
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.
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.
“Ollie was THRILLED to have Stacey and her sidekick Fred spend time with him again. He walked, practiced tricks, wrestled, indulged in doggy treats, tried new doggy toys, fetched, got lots of snuggles, grooming and rest! Stacey went out of her way to accommodate our last minute request for help and we were so grateful. I don’t think Ollie even missed us! She updated in regularly with pictures and highlights from their adventures together. Stacey has become our “go-to”dog & house sitter.”
About: After saying goodbye to my dog of 11 years in August 2025, I am looking to share my home and heart with your pup(s) while you are out of town or otherwise unavailable. I am a single, self-employed woman who works from my home office. In addition to having been a pet parent for 11 years, I have travelled all over the world petsitting for others. I have a quiet, 2-level townhome with a small front yard in a neighbourhood with plenty of walking areas and a terrific fully-fenced off-leash park. Your pup(s) will get at least 2 walks a day and plenty of interaction with me while at home. I have experience administering medications (oral, topical and injected) and also have extensive experience managing pet seizures and diabetes. I have a pet-friendly vehicle for easy access to adventures further from home as well as any necessary trips to veterinarians, groomers, doggy daycares and other pet service providers. I am self-employed and work from home exclusively. Every morning starts with a 30-45 minute walk around the neighbourhood, with another shorter walk midday and another longer walk or dog park visit in the evening. Longer walks can be accommodated as necessary. Weekends often include hikes and other dog-friendly outdoor adventures when appropriate. My home is fully dog safe and my yard is fully fenced. Pets are allowed on furniture and I also have a large kennel if your pup feels safer in a more confined space.
“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.”
“Connor did a fantastic job looking after our dog and house while we were away in Ontario for Christmas. He sent regular updates and I think walked the dog more then we do! Will definitely be using his services again.”

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

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
