“My dog Ocean had a great stay with Sandra. It was our first time leaving Ocean for as long as we did and she kept us updated with photos and we could tell she was comfortable and enjoying her stay. We would book her again.”
“Our experience has been absolutely wonderful! Monica and Tim took such great care of Molly and Sophie. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our girls were in loving, attentive hands. They were comfortable the entire time, and the pictures Monica sent showed it. We’re so grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter”
“Michelle was responsive and accommodating with our dog. We very much appreciate her care for him over the weekend, and when we picked him up, he was in good spirits and apparently well cared for. Recommended!”
“I can’t begin to explain how wonderful I felt leaving Charlie with Robin and Andrew. They helped place this dog Mom at ease and I just knew it would go well. They provided daily pictures and let me know how he was doing and were very consistent. Charlie came home so happy and I would book them again in a heart beat. Thankyou soooooo much”
“Our Lucy had a great time with Livia! Livia cared for Lucy for over two weeks. She is a pro with animals. Livia made me feel confident that Lucy was well taken care of, I received pictures and updates everyday. Highly recommend Livia for pet care, you will not be disappointed!”
“Desiree was so loving and gentle with Lilly. She gave me photo updates daily and was very attentive to Lilly and her needs. Giving daily cuddles and so much love. Even her family were onboard with all the love and kindness. Lilly looked so happy and was very well cared for. I would highly recommend her and will use Desiree again.”
About: We have over a decade of hands on experience caring for dogs at all stages of life, from energetic pups to seniors who need a little extra care and attention. We’re comfortable caring for senior dogs with arthritis or mobility challenges, including administering medications, helping with lifting when needed, and recognizing when a dog needs to slow down, rest, or have a quieter day. At the same time, we understand that every dog has different needs. Having raised an Australian Shepherd, we know firsthand how much exercise, stimulation, structure, and engagement high energy dogs require. We love getting outside for walks, playtime, and adventures, while making sure each dog’s individual energy level and comfort are respected. Our goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while in our care. We are genuine dog lovers and treat every dog like they are our family. Pet care fits naturally into our lifestyle! I work part-time shift work, while my partner works a regular monday to friday job, so we have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give dogs the attention and care they need. We love having dogs around and are happy to include them in our daily routine with walks, playtime, outdoor time, and plenty of cuddles. We’re especially interested in longer stays when our schedules allow, as well as weekend stays and boarding during our time off. We’re happy to work with each dog’s individual routine and make their stay feel as much like home as possible! Our home is a safe, comfortable, and dog-friendly environment where your pup can feel right at home. We have a large, fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and a dog proofed home where dogs can relax and settle into their own routine. We take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, energy level, feeding schedule, and any special needs before their stay. We provide plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and attention, while also recognizing when a dog needs some quiet time or a rest. Your dog will be treated as part of the family while they’re with us....with lots of love, patience, cuddles, and care. Our priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay.
“Allison was absolutely wonderful. She sent daily photo updates of our dog at her house. This was first time using Rover and we will definitely be using Allison again.”
“Gail and Ross were simply amazing pooch sitters. They went above and beyond in communication and caring which allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying about the care our two toy poodles”
“I recently used Jeffrey for boarding my dog, Raja, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, they were professional, attentive, and incredibly caring. They sent me pictures and updates throughout my dog’s stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Communication was excellent, with quick responses. I also appreciated their flexibility with pick-up and drop-off, which made the entire process so much easier. I highly recommend Jeffrey and his family to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog boarding service!”
“Leslie was absolutely great with our dog, Buddy! She accommodated his sleeping preferences, stuck to his regular routine, and treated him like one of her own family members. He came back happy and completely himself. The only downside is, she’s too far from where we are. But totally worth it!”
“We had a wonderful greet and meet with Whitney. Our dog Ozzie got along very well with their dog and we loved her set up with the big backyard for the dogs to run around. Ozzie was so excited when we dropped him off he didn't look back and was just excited to stay at Whitney's house. Whitney also sent us pictures of Ozzie having fun and making himself at home. We will definitely be using Whitney again.”
“Lori and Wayne were amazing!!! My dog Charlie is a very anxious one and I was worried when I dropped him off. Few minutes later they sent me pictures of Charlie and kept me updated the whole time he was at their house. He looked so happy and well taken care of. Thank you Lori and Wayne 💓”
About: We have over 10 years experience caring for animal. From cats and dogs to ferrets. We can clean litter, and scoop poop with the bet of them For our cats we play with them through the day. And for the night when putting them to bed. We cook chicken for them (for dietary needs) and clean the litter box Our cats are indoor cats and they stay safe inside, as would your animal depending on the situation. Our cats can be kept separate if needed.
“I cannot recommend Dima enough. I was worried to leave my rambunctious 15 month old with a stranger but Dima took such good care of Nash and kept me updated regularly so I didn’t need to worry at all! Excellent dog sitter!”
“My girl is a reacued dog. She is very shay and has some trauma so I was worried about sending her for overnights. However, Anna was awesome. She knows how to deal with nervous dogs. She gave us some good tips and advices as well. I could feel her sincere love towards to dogs. Thank you so much!!”
“Our 5-year-old Pippin was a happy camper during his first holiday at Sandra’s and Jessie’s. He had, of course, met both of them at the ‘meet and greet’ at their home, but what really surprised us was how excited he was when we dropped him off. He knew precisely where we had taken him and he raced up their front steps and started barking with excitement at the front door. Clearly, Sandra and Jessie and their very sweet dog Daisy had made a great first impression! Both Sandra and Jessie are dog lovers and dog carers par excellence and that put Pippin and us at ease. Throughout Pippin’s two-week stay, Sandra sent us daily updates with photos, which was fun and informative. Pippin is an extremely well-behaved dog, so much so he never jumps on furniture (despite all our encouragement), but Sandra has a secret weapon—dog stairs for couch access!—and she taught Pippin how to use them. When I went to pick up Pippin, he was very excited to see me—lots of licks!—but he also turned to Sandra to give her licks, too, as if to say ‘thank you’. We have no doubt that Pippin will be delighted to spend more time with Sandra, Jessie and Daisy in the future!”
“Awesome! That’s how I describe Sheena as a pet sitter. Top notch and caring, knowledgeable and sweet in every way💖. My little Peanut has a lot of issues and I think he was rehabilitated in so many ways in the week he stayed with Sheena. He’s less anxious and made new doggy friends. I almost don’t want to say too many positive things about Sheena in case she becomes too popular and I can’t get a booking with her! Lots of communication, photos and videos as well as great flexibility. Thanks so much Sheena, Marlo and Luna!”
“Thanks Diana!! Loved the daily pictures and updates of our girl! She seemed so happy and tired on return after a busy week visiting with friends. Thank you so much for your care and kindness towards our baby.”
“This was our second time booking with Kayla, she was just as awesome this time around. Our little pup loves staying with her. Our family love the pictures and videos she sends. Thank you, Kayla, for taking such great care of our little dog!”

Robin and Andrew were great with Shelby! They made him feel at home as soon as he stepped in the door. Their kindness and attention to detail, and the photos sent daily were SO appreciated!!! We already have them booked for another trip!! THANK YOU Robin & Andrew!!!!
I only had great things to say about Sarah and her beautiful family. They took such a great care of Cloe, got lots of updates while I was away for 3 days and felt the love they give her through the pictures and videos. Their house was clean and I felt very comfortable leaving Cloe with them. I would definitely use them again and 100% recommend them to take care of your fur baby. They will be in great care! Thank you Sarah for everything and looking after Cloe, I can see she loved staying with you guys, and we will be back very soon :)
This was our first time using Rover - I contacted Jessica with only a couple days notice when our friends could no longer watch our dog. She replied right away and was able to accommodate our pets! Our dog stayed with her in her house and she came every day to our house to feed our cat. She kept us up to date on how things were going while we were away. My dog took a day to settle in and he finally did and I know it was because of Jessica's care! I would recommend Jessica for anyone needing a caretaker!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Okotoks home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Okotoks
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 dog, 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.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
