“Sandra was very attentive, on time and gave our dog the love and attention he needs! She sent many pictures and updates. We would definitely book her services again in the future!”

About: While I haven’t owned my own dogs, my sister rescued from all over so I’ve been able to care for many dogs. I’m comfortable with any size dog. I am currently available for week day/evenings and weekends available to care for your animals. I will be able to maneuver my schedule as needed. I will follow any house rules in regards to caring for your pet in your home. Whether it special crating, meals, yard safety and limits etc.
About: I was born and raised on a mixed farm in Southern Saskatchewan. While growing up, I was surrounded by farm cats and dogs. However, my residence doesn’t allow pets in the house. When I came across Rover, I thought it would be a great opportunity to interact and be around animals. I am trustworthy, punctual and energetic! I enjoy walking and biking around my neighbourhood. I am an animal bioscience graduate with volunteer experience at a veterinary clinic. While working at the clinic I have taken care of clients cats and various sized dogs. Tasks would include helping the technicians restrain the pet while they receive a vaccine, cleaning poop in the kennels, feeding and watering the animals, going for walks when needed and always petting them when given the chance. I look forward to taking care of your pet.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, current horse owner and former dog owner. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including large dogs, and with administering medications, including injections. I provide patient, reliable and loving care based on each pet’s individual needs. I will be starting a new part-time job come Tuesday October 13th, I will still have day time, evening and weekend availability I just do not quite know what my weekly schedule will look like as of yet. As soon as I have a more concrete schedule I will ensure to keep my calendar updated to reflect my weekly availability. If you have any questions or notice a day blocked off please do not hesitate to reach out as it is likely I am available before or after a certain time. Thank you so much for your patience and flexibility during this transitional period! :) I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime and plenty of attention. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own space, keep your home tidy and provide regular updates while you are away.
About: I’ve had a dog for 9 years, I trained her and I house sit with her every summer. I’m very good with dogs I love to play with them and bring them on exciting walks I’m currently in school online which has no schedule so I have lots of free time to play with pups and bring them on long walks I will care for the pet based on the clients home, I love the outdoors so if there is no fenced in yard I’m more than happy to go on multiple walks long or short
About: Welcome to your dog’s second home in Cranston’s Riverstone. I’m Rory, a full-time work-from-home sitter who cares for one family’s dogs at a time, so your dog gets focused attention and a predictable, low-stress stay. I’m home throughout the day and night, which means your dog is rarely alone. If I do step out briefly, it’s never for more than an hour, and I’m always happy to align with your dog’s routine and comfort level. ⸻ Daily routine, walks, and outdoor time We have a fully fenced backyard for regular outdoor breaks, play, and relaxed time outside. I’m also just two blocks from the Bow River pathway system, with paved and unpaved trails, hills, and quiet spots that are perfect for sniffing and exploring. Walks are tailored to the dog. That can mean a short 10-minute stroll, or longer 8 km loops (an hour or more) through the river paths and surrounding hills, depending on age, energy level, and preference. ⸻ A calm canine companion Your dog will share the space with Willow, my well-mannered senior Great Dane. She’s low-energy, gentle, and has spent now 3 years helping visiting dogs settle in comfortably. Her calm presence is especially helpful for dogs who benefit from a relaxed, steady environment while their owners are away. Because I only host one household at a time, the dynamic stays simple and manageable. ⸻ Experience and care approach I grew up on a farm and have cared for animals my entire life. I’m comfortable with puppies (typically not intact males), adult dogs, and seniors, and I’m happy to administer oral medications if needed. Dogs are welcome on furniture and can sleep in the same room as me. Crates are preferred for sleeping and downtime, and I can provide extra-large crates if requested, or use your own setup if that’s what your dog prefers. ⸻ Drop-ins and house checks In addition to boarding and daycare, I offer pet drop-ins and daytime house checks in south Calgary and northern Okotoks. These visits can include feeding, walks, companionship, plant watering, mail collection, and garbage day management. I work from home and can keep a 24/7 eye on your pet. When sitting we won’t be leaving them at home, and will take them on daily walks around the neighborhood, including the paved walkways along the Bow River in Riverstone. I work from home full-time and only look after one family’s dogs at a time, so pets get plenty of supervision and consistency. My home has a fully fenced yard for frequent outdoor breaks, and walks and playtime are always tailored to each dog’s needs. I closely follow feeding and care instructions, can give oral medications if needed, and send regular photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming, administering treats, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. What sets me apart is my patience and ability to recognize changes in a pet’s behaviour and needs. I’m especially attentive to pets who may be nervous or take time to warm up to new people. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’m also happy to maintain their usual routines and provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. I’m flexible and can accommodate different pet-care schedules based on your pet’s routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on the booking. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific schedule and make sure they receive consistent care and attention while you’re away. I always make safety, comfort, and trust my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications if required, and playtime, while carefully following the owner’s instructions. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel comfortable and supervised. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape routes are secure. I also pay close attention to pets’ behaviour and surroundings and will communicate with the owner promptly if I notice anything unusual. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners can feel comfortable and confident while they’re apart.
“Omg! Tracie, you have been amazing! You took such great care of my precious boy and I came home to such a well groomed gentleman! He looks fabulous and I can tell that he enjoyed his time while I was gone. Thank you so much for keeping in touch with updates and some of the best pictures of my boy! It has been greatly appreciated by both, Pivot and I.”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have cared for dogs and cats from kittens to elderly and am familiar with pets with special health needs. I have experience training cats and dogs and would be happy to assist with any routines you need established for your pet. I am available all summer due to my work schedule and will be able to care for pets any time of day, making sure they have sunshine or care at night while you’re busy! I am able to come to your area or home to care for your pet. I am very responsible and respectful of your space should you need care in your home.
About: Hi! I'm a passionate animal lover with experience caring for a wide variety of dog & cat breeds. While I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30-5pm, I dedicate my evenings, mornings, weekends, & free time to providing loving, reliable care for pets. I have always had a special place in my heart for cats, but I truly love all animals. After losing my beloved cat last year, pet sitting has become a meaningful way for me to continue sharing my love & care with animals. Spending time with pets brings me so much joy, & I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m extremely reliable, communicative, & committed to keeping pet parents updated while they're away. You can expect plenty of photos, updates, & peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being well cared for. Whether it's sticking to your pet's normal routine, going for walks, providing playtime & cuddles, or simply being a comforting presence, I always strive to make pets feel safe, happy, & loved! I'm also very clean and respectful of clients' homes & will leave your home in the same condition, or even better than I found it. I look forward to meeting you & your pets! I work full time but I am an early riser so I would be happy to take dogs for walks in the morning and/or evenings I make sure to always ask my clients for their pets routine and follow it just as they are used to. I love playing with pets and giving them allll the belly rubs. I will also be a fantastic photographer for your pet so you always know what we’re up to!
About: I’ve raised three dogs and two cats, so I’m basically fluent in barks, meows, and side-eye. Whether your pet’s a cuddle bug or a drama queen, they’ll get plenty of love, play, and snacks (if allowed, of course). I'm currently a full-time student without a job, so my schedule is really flexible. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine since I have plenty of free time to give your pets the attention, walks, and cuddles they need I only offer pet sitting at the client’s home because I believe pets are happiest in their own space. I stick to their normal routines, provide lots of love, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: I am back to providing great pet care after a couple years off of Rover! I grew up on a farm and have cared for animals for as long as I can remember, chickens, newborn kittens, hamsters, dogs, horses, and fish. I have also worked with animals at a pet store where I interacted with dogs and cats all day! I also have my own baby cats that are very spoiled and I help my partner care for his dog with walks and enrichment when he has to work long hours. I am currently working with 2 dogs who are large and reactive, so I have experience with difficult dogs. I have a lot of energy and love to run and I also love to make animals happy so I am committed to making sure dogs get enriching walks and training time, and cats get interactive play time. Call me, your animal will thank you :) I work weekends and have a flexible work schedule during the week so just let me know what times you need pet care and we can work it out! When I am caring for any dog I make sure to take them on a variety of walks, such as sniff-walks, training-walks, and exercise walks. I also understand the importance of play for both cats and dogs, and make sure to incorporate that as well. I am also comfortable going to the dog park for socialization if the dog I’m with is good in that setting. I normally don't let them say hi to other dogs or people on a walk unless the person I'm watching them for specifically says it’s ok or they want me to socialize their dog while on the leash.

There are 1,851 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Okotoks. About 89% of Okotoks sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
