“Alana was great and patient with our puppies. She sent lots of photos, which were greatly appreciated and we had great communication during the time we were away. She left the house as she found and most importantly the dogs looked calm and comfortable around her. Will definitely be booking her to watch our dogs again!”
About: I have always had pets as a child and continued to take care of animals throughout my entire lifetime. As a child, I was able to observe how they behaved and interacted with one another, which allowed me to learn their habits, needs, and different personalities, e.g., energetic puppies; timid pets; and elderly pets that require a gentler approach. What distinguishes me from others is my ability to be patient, dependable, and my excellent communication skills, something that I have developed while studying to become a Social Worker. I know how to listen actively and remain calm in stressful situations, as well as being compassionate, all of which greatly contribute to providing safe, reliable, and loving care for animals. I take time to understand each animal's behaviour and routine, as well as any special needs, so they can be comfortable and enjoy being cared for while you are away. My aspiration is to treat each pet as if it were my own and to always create the best possible experience, with little or no stress for the owner or pet. I’ve incorporated my dog-walking services and other services naturally into my schedule. This allows me to walk your pet during the day, visit and/or stay with them while you work or are away. I will always be reliable with regard to timing and communication. I carefully plan my schedule so that I can give every pet that I look after proper exercise and attention on a consistent basis, and I make sure that each pet's daily routine is closely adhered to (this would include feeding, walking, medication, or playtime). Most evenings and weekends are open, and are ideal for long stays or extra visits. Your fur-baby is my top priority when caring for them, I make it my mission to protect your pet and give them the best care they need!
“Daniela did an excellent job looking after our two dogs. Our older dog has some health concerns and Daniela provided great care of her and provided numerous updates and photos during her time with the dogs. She was very responsive with messages and I would recommend her to others for dog sitting jobs.”
“Jodi was easy to communicate with, the pups enjoyed her, and tons of picture updates! She house sat as well, and it was super comforting to have someone take care of our dogs in our home while we were gone! Will definitely rebook!”
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.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have never gone without having one by my side, so looking after them feels completely natural to me. While I was away at university, I even fostered a couple of dogs because I missed having that companionship so much it was incredibly rewarding to give them love and stability while they waited for their forever homes. I’m comfortable with a range of needs, from energetic puppies who benefit from consistent routines and basic training, to senior dogs who need a gentler, more attentive approach. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I build with every dog I care for as I treat them like my own. Recently, I lost my two dogs, and while I’m not quite ready to bring a new puppy into my home, caring for others’ pets feels like the perfect way to keep sharing that love, attention, and companionship that dogs deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make it a priority in my day. I’m currently working part-time with a chiropractic internship from Monday to Thursday, which still leaves me with plenty of time and energy to give your dog the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m available on weekdays after 4pm as well as on weekends, making it easy for me to accommodate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or overnight care. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to making sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. At my place, I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and supervised play. There is also one friendly 2-year-old Havanese (my parents’ dog), so I’m mindful of introductions and always make sure all dogs feel comfortable and safe. I can easily crate your dog if that’s part of their routine, or they’re welcome to have free roam of the house if preferred. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible to keep things consistent and stress-free. My goal is always to create a trustworthy, secure environment where your pet feels relaxed, cared for, and right at home.
“Gabriella was available on short notice very prompt in responding to our request. It was our first time leaving our dog with someone and we were traveling overseas, so we were a bit nervous. She has a very calm and gentle nature and we know she took very good care of our Lily. We would definitely hire Gabriella again.”
“We had a great experience using Fred as our dog sitter! Fred came for a pre-visit and my dog immediately liked him, which is rare. Fred is extremely well mannered, reliable, did everything we asked, and sent regular pictures. We will definitely be asking Fred to pet sit for us again!! Thanks Fred ?”
“Allison has been amazing with our puppy Odin . He is a rescue and shy , she was calm and gentle with him . When we went away, she house sit for our dog and rabbit . He went on adventures everyday and had a better vacation than us ! We were updated everyday with many pictures which I appreciated leaving him alone for the first time. She is amazing !”
“Jorja was amazing with the dogs. She leapt in last minute when one of the dogs was injured and I wasn’t comfortable leaving the dogs in a group setting while I was away. I was able to focus on work while I was gone and came home to happy, healthy pets!”
About: Taking care of animals has always been a big part of my life. I grew up with pets and still share my home with them today, so being around animals feels natural to me. I’m not someone who rushes in and out. I take my time, pay attention, and make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m big on the little moments and always make space for extra affection, play, and quiet cuddle time. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to watch their pets while they’re away, sometimes for days or even weeks. Those stats are filled with walks, meals, playtime, and most of all plenty of love that is never rushed. When your pet is with me, they’re treated just like my own, with patience, kindness, and genuine care. If you want someone who will care for your pets like family, I’d be happy to help. Pets are a big part of my daily life, and I love caring for them. I’m a first-year Open Studies student at the University of Calgary, and with a light course load, I have a flexible schedule to give your pets the attention they deserve. I also play on the Dino’s women’s soccer team, bringing the same energy, focus, and dedication to caring for pets as I do on the field. My own pets are spoiled with cuddles, playtime, and lots of affection, even on days when I’m not pet sitting. That same love and patience goes into caring for every animal I look after, whether they need walks, visits throughout the day, overnight care, or quiet lap time. I take my time with each pet and make sure they feel calm, comfortable, and truly cared for. I provide all pet care right in your home, so your cats, dogs, or other furry family members can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment with their favorite toys, cozy spots, and daily routines. I follow your instructions carefully, secure doors and windows, respect all household rules, and treat your home with the same care I would my own. With a lifelong love of animals, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s walks and playtime for dogs, gentle cuddles and chin scratches for cats, fresh meals and water, potty breaks, litter box care, or just quiet companionship, I give attention that’s tailored to each pet’s needs. Owners appreciate how relaxed and content their pets remain, knowing both their home and furry family members are in caring, trustworthy hands.
About: I love animals, my husband and I have taken care of many of our friends and families dogs and cats (even some chickens!) We cannot have a pet of our own but I am needing to find a way to spend some time with some furry friends so I have began dog walking and sitting! I love any chance I can get to cuddle or walk with a dog! I work part-time and have a lot of flexibility during the day (am available many mornings, afternoons and evenings) I would love some more quality time with some furry friends! In a clients home I would follow all instructions and guidelines set out by the client. The pet will be my top priority and everything I do will be for the best of the animal.
“Taylex was amazing and really saved us on Christmas Day so our dogs didn't have to stay home alone for too long. She is very kind and sweet, and she is someone you can trust in your home. We really appreciate her time and we will definitely use her again in the future:) Dori and Terry”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats most of my life, my partner and I have been fostering dogs with Pound Rescue for 2 years. We currently have 1 dog and 3 cats and have between 1-2 foster dogs I’m currently working full time but most of my work is done on Weekends or from home, so during the day during the week I’m usually pretty wide open I have a fenced yard. I take my dog and any foster dogs that are ready to the off leash parks in Okotoks. Also do leash walks with my dog as I feel it’s good for him to have leash manners as well as being able to have a free run at the dog park
“Adrianna is absolutely a star sitter! She stayed in our home overnight and took excellent care of our dogs for 10 days. We received daily reports and photos and it really set our minds at ease that Abbey and Spirit were well cared for. She also took great care of our home and left it even better than we left it. It was very important that our dogs stay at home and stay in their routine and Adrianna did it so well. Abbey and Spirit really love her and it showed at the meet and greet when Abbey fell asleep on her feet! A true dog lover. I highly recommend Adrianna to care of your dogs or cats. We will definitely ask her again to do walks and stays. Thank you so much Adrianna! A big woof thank you from Abbey and Spirit!”

Cash was amazing!! We’ve got 4 animals and she made sure they were all taken care of and loved appropriately! She sent pictures everyday with updates so we always knew how they were doing and was super communicative! Our dogs can be reactive on leashes and she walked them and managed them with no issues! Our house was just as clean as we left it if not cleaner and all our animals were happy!! Amazing job!
Simone provided care for 2 dogs in my home for 4 days. I was very happy with her service. My dogs were relaxed and happy when I came home, and my house was better than when I left it. She provided updates and photos every day I was away. My dogs were relaxed in every picture. I would not hesitate to call Simone again for help when I travel.
Daniela is absolutely wonderful! She provided regular updates and adorable photos every day, which put my mind completely at ease while we were on vacation. Daniela genuinely cared for our Rozie and Victoria as if they were her own. We came home to a happy, calm pets and a spotless house. I would definitely recommend her and gladly reach out next time we are out of town!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Okotoks on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Okotoks 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.
Tip: 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 Okotoks 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 Okotoks 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, identity 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
