“Sara is awesome! She is a very conscientious and kind person and our dog took to her right away. Great communication while we were away and she sent some photos to us every day. I felt totally comfortable that our dog and home were well cared for while we were gone. We already have her booked for our next trip!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Rachel and Jason were absolutely fantastic with our elderly dog Dixie. They were very patient with her grumpiness and separation anxiety while we were away on a weekend trip. We knew Dixie liked them from the meet-and-greet before we went away, and had no concerns leaving her, as we have recently moved to the area and she is still sorting things out. We highly recommend their pet-sitting service!”
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.
“Felix and Rachel were wonderful dog/house sitters. We left our senior dog for a three day weekend away and felt very comfortable with leaving her with them. They were very respectful and left our house cleaner than we did. Our old border collie is stubborn and can be reactive but she did really well with these two. They were also able to send us so many lovely photos to ease our concerns. We knew she was having a great weekend too. Would definitely recommend and rehire in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m a dedicated dog walker and sitter with 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages and personalities. What started as a passion has grown into a full-time commitment to giving dogs the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. My home features a true dog oasis — a rare ½ acre inner-city property with plenty of secure space to run, sniff, play, and relax. It’s the perfect environment for dogs who enjoy freedom, fresh air, and enrichment in a safe setting. I specialize in fun, stimulating off-leash adventures at some of the best parks in the northwest, where dogs can explore trails, socialize, and burn energy while staying under close supervision. Whether your pup loves long walks, play sessions, or peaceful companionship, I tailor every outing to their unique needs. Reliable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about dogs, I treat every pet like family. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and well-being always come first. Your dog can join my daily group hike between 12-2, or schedule a private walking time.

“Karina was really kind in taking care of my cat and dog, Gus and Agnes. She was mindful of Agnes’ anxiety and was quickly accepted by both animals in my home. I was thankful for the updates she provided and her attention to instructions I’d left. I would recommend her to others and will be sure to check her availability for the next time I'm away.”

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 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
