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: 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 have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, hedgehogs. My experience With dogs, I’m comfortable with daily care, walking, leash training and teaching basic puppy manners such as sit, stay and other simple commands. I enjoy working with different animals and am confident following individual care routines to make sure every pet receives attentive, patient and loving care. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available for overnight stays, weekend bookings and weekday visits depending on my work schedule.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats since birth. As soon as I moved out on my own I adopted my first dog and have had one ever since that then. We travel a bit and my heart always bleeds for the animals on the streets so I make sure to always have treats and food in my pack to brighten the day of the animals I come cross. I will love your pet as I would my own no matter what breed or age. I currently am a stay at home mom to my golden retriever and cat so I can make anytime of day work for a pop in and play or a walk. I will treat your pet kindly and professionally when I make a visit. I will make sure there are no hazards in your home before I leave and that the pets are comfortable and happy.
“Dana was excellent We have 4 dogs and she came on Cmas day to our house which is quite far outside of the city limits-to check on them as well looked to make sure all the horses were accounted for as they are turned out. She went above and beyond and even left treats and toys for the dogs. Highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Okotoks is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,874 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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 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.
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.
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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
