“Andrea is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She fives regular updates and sends lots of photos. She was able to give my fussy dog his meds without any issue. She also spent lots of quality time with them and even took them for additional walks.”
“This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience! Amanda was quick to reply, super friendly, and very punctual. My pups had a fun time with her and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes breeds and personalities my whole life. I am comfortable and confident caring for dogs that are small, large, shy, social young or old. For the past two years, I have volunteered as an advanced dog walker with Edmonton Humane Society, where I have received hands-on training with their expert Behaviour Team. I’m currently completing an online diploma, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I’m available for pet care throughout the week and on weekends morning afternoon or evening. Since my studies are self-paced I am able to easily prioritize your pets needs and give them attention time and care they deserve whenever it’s needed. While I don’t host pets in my own home, I have plenty of experience, caring for pets in their own space and staying at clients homes. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure in a familiar environment so I always do my best to maintain the usual routine Whether it’s drop visits or overnight stays I treat your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect
“I was nervous to leave for a night without my dogs. Ava had fantastic communication while we were away and kept me up to date. When I came home my puppies were happy and seemed to be at ease. Unfortunately she had to deal with my dog making a mess, and she dealt with it without any hesitation and was understanding. 10/10 Would recommend!”
“Once again, Ardele has gone above and beyond. Our Pekoe was on medication that made her sick while we were gone, and Ardele handled it like the professional she is. I would never book anyone but Ardele. Our dogs and cats love her, and she obviously loves them. This is our fourth booking and we will keep coming back. Thanks Ardele. You are the best. Susan and Wally”
About: I babysat my neighbor's bigger dog at the age of 12 and then my aunt's puppy in it's earlier months as she was at work. :) I regularly spend time outdoors on walks, working out, at the park and more, so I believe incorporating this service will be the perfect transition towards a profession, as spending time outdoors is a major part of my lifestyle. I believe communication is the biggest thing when undertaking such a real responsibility, so in order to prepare for this I like to ensure everything is clear by using my personal checklist. The best way to ensure safety and trust is clear communication and patience. I want to ensure the dog is comfortable and aware of their surroundings.
About: Certified in pet first-aid. I have worked professionally as a dog jogger. Former volunteer experience as a vet assistant. Avid runner who is happy to walk or jog with your dog. Experienced with giving oral medications and insulin injections. Previous work as a pet and home sitter. I am a student nearing completion of my degree. I will have ample time to give attention and care to your pets throughout the day. I am available for pet sitting or boarding any day of the week. I have a fenced in yard and a nice park and ravine nearby my house where I could take dogs for walks. I do not currently have any pets of my own so yours will be the centre of my attention. In your own home I am happy to water plants and will leave your home very clean and will seek specific instructions on the care of your pet.
“Kind, Courteous, Caring, Selfless, Competent and most importantly loves my dog as much as I do :D These words describe this helpful woman and I would recommend her to anyone I know with complete confidence that she will rise to any challenge ! I am grateful to have met Sophie and will continue to hire her as much as possible.”
“Lori is a wonderful and kind woman who I would highly recommend to anyone for cat or dog sitting. She just finished babysitting our 4 month old bernedoodle for a week while we were away. Lori did an amazing job, she kept us updated the whole time, lots of pictures and Lincoln our pup was very happy!! She is wonderful and if you are lucky enough to get to have her watch your pet you’ll be very blessed!!”
“Cassidy looked after our cat Bagheera while we were away on vacation. Bagheera is typically nervous around new people but warmed up to her right away! Cassidy was very professional, honest, and communicative before and during the house sitting visit which made the experience very comfortable for us! Will definitely rebook :)”
“Stepped in and helped us with an impossible situation. Our Sitter Bailed on us when we were out of Province at 11:30PM. We started communicating with Anick the next morning and got a plan in place. I am thankful for her expediency!”
“Denae was a great sitter to have for our two pups. Her and her boyfriend left the home spotless and sent lots of photos during the stay. She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. I will definitely rebook!”
“Leonora is excellent. Prior to our vacation she came to meet Luna and go over any information and needs she might have. She stayed at the house with her, and sent regular photos and updates. Luna got a little sick while we were gone, but she kept us updated and took great care of her. I would definitely use Leonora again, and would highly recommend her to anyone :)”
“Dimitra was FABULOUS! We have never had someone outside of family watch our dog so of course we were super nervous. She cared for our dog and home as if it was her own and we came home to a super happy guy. We got picture update, saw them go on multiple walks and got pictures of them laying on the couch together. I couldn’t recommend her enough - we will 100% be contacting her next time we leave town.”
“What a godsend Nicholas was for our pups! Our trip away had stressful events, but the care of Pepper and Layla back home wasn’t one. It is clear that Nick adores the company of dogs, and our pups felt the same about him. Also, he could easily handle the 170 lbs of dogs for walks; that is a rare quality in dog sitters. He was communicative, and sent photo and video updates. We will definitely hire Nicholas again.”
“Alyssa was great with our dog and house for 2 weeks while away. We received pictures and videos of her walking him daily. He was well taken care of. Our house was spotless when we returned.”
About: I've been taking care of/ training dogs my entire life. My oldest girl is over 17 years old and I've currently been training a VERY high energy and rambunctious 1 and a half year old black lab/ border collie mix. I am currently getting my certification to be a licensed professional dog trainer. I am available for walking/ training and sitting any day, with a very flexible schedule. I take my dog for probably 10 walks a day. We also frequent the dog park a lot. I can either take your dog to the park or for solo walks, whatever you're comfortable with.
“Sydney is absolutely incredible!! She watched our two boxers for us for a week and they absolutely adore her. She was so flexible and happy to take on their own specific routine. She sent daily updates and photos, she also took great care of our home and went over and above every day. We were absolutely spoiled to have Sydney and will certainly book her again. Sydney gave us complete confidence and peace of mind while we were away.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Larkspur
Olivia was very professional. Easy to get along with. And most importantly did awesome with our mile long list of instructions we left. Also had to administer ear drops, and pills for our dog Haley. She took Haley for a walk. Not too mention went over and above, leaving our house VERY clean. Vacuumed, stripped the bed, kitchen was sparkling etc. HIGHLY recommend her services. We will definitely look her up before our next vacation!

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