About: Hi, I’m Mollie! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently work in a veterinary clinic, which has given me experience handling pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and needing a little extra care, or simply happiest sticking to their normal routine, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m comfortable administering basic medications, monitoring for changes in behavior or health, and following detailed care instructions. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’d love the opportunity to meet them and help keep their routine as stress-free as possible. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work full-time at a veterinary clinic and am available for pet care before and after work, as well as evenings and weekends. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and will do my best to provide reliable, consistent care that fits their needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, feeding, medication, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow all instructions carefully, maintain their normal routine, and ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed and will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Mike took absolutely fantastic care of my two cats and kept me informed and updated throughout the whole time he was house sitting. My cats are usually a little skittish around new people but they loved Mike’s calm energy immediately.”
“Teri is phenomenal. She is punctual and thoughtful and took excellent care of our dogs. One of our dogs is high energy and the other is a 150-lb puppy and she is capable of managing both without issue. I highly recommend Teri!”
“Andreea was awesome! Sent regular updates and photos and went above and beyond every step of the way. Came home to a happy kitty and everything in tip top shape. Thank you!”
“I was so nervous to leave our dog who is extremely shy and skiddish.Stacey was able to make her feel safe and loved and at ease. I am over the moon to have someone my dog trusts look after her. Everything went smoothly and I would leave xanny with Stacey anytime. Highly recommend her and Fred .”
“Sara was so easy to work with and kept our Joji safe and happy. Easy communication and photos while we were away, just great to see our little girl hanging out in her own bed and house. Highly recommend Sara. Thanks bunches!!”
“Mehak is absolutely wonderful! We had a very last-minute request, and Mehak went above and beyond for us! Not only did she take fantastic care of our dog, Hazel, but she also took very good care of our home. We came back to a very happy dog and a spotless house! Mehak was very communicative and sent thoughtful updates and plenty of photos. She was very patient with our dog and made sure she had all the information needed for comprehensive care. She was flexible with our schedule and so accommodating. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing our dog was so well cared for! Thank you, Mehak, for all your help 😊 We would absolutely book with you again!”
“Danielle was a wonderful sitter. I had her stay over at my place for a full week to watch my cat Jules over the holidays. She provided daily updates and sent photos and videos. It was quite clear that Jules had taken a liking to her and was very affectionate in the videos. This was my first time leaving for an extended period, so this really eased any anxiety I had. I will likely utilize Danielle's service in the future and would certainly recommend her to other owners.”
“Thank you so much to Lyndsie and Dierk! I received regular updates of their time together. He was regularly walked and well cared for. My place was left clean and tidy and could tell my pup was happy! Highly recommend!!”
“Carmen was fantastic. Our 3 dogs were very happy when we got home. Carmen was very responsive and left our house in great condition. She went above and beyond, even going as far as to shovel our driveway off after a big snowfall! Would highly recommend Caremn to anyone looking for a house/pet sitter.”
About: Hi! I'm Carmen. I've been an animal lover since I was a wee child. I've grown up with cats and dogs . Come to think about it, there has only been two years of my life that I have not had to care for an animal. I have also walked, done pet visits and stayed over at client's homes for work in the past. I strive to be very observant of an animal's individual needs and wants and make adjustments where necessary. I am especially good at taking pets for long walks, and long bouts of exercise. I can even take your dog for a run, if that's what he/she likes. I also enjoy playing fetch, tug of war or any other game they're interested in. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur companions.
“Madison is WONDERFUL. We had such a great experience with her, she took amazing care of our 2 labs, last minute even! She was on time and communicated at all stages of the booking. It truly felt like having a family member stay. Highly recommend her! 10/10”
“This has been my best experience with Rover in all these years. Tare Jo is an absolute gem. She had to deal with some aggression issues between her dog and mine, and she worked through it and found resolution without blame or judgement. The dogs were exercised multiple times per day and she kept in touch regularly with the sweetest of photos. My place was left cleaner than when I left, and all the bedding and towels were cleaned. Tara Jo is so very skilled, and I will certainly reach out to her in the future.”
About: As a dedicated pet lover with a deep passion for animals, being a pet sitter is not just a job for me, but a calling. I believe that pets are beloved members of our families, and they deserve the highest level of care and attention when their owners are away. With years of experience in pet care, including volunteering at local animal shelters and fostering animals in need, I have honed my skills in providing exceptional care for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. I understand the unique needs and personalities of different animals, and I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for them. One of my top priorities as a pet sitter is the health and safety of the pets in my care. That's why I require all pets to be up-to-date on vaccinations to ensure the well-being of both the visiting pets and those in my home. This policy ensures a healthy and secure environment for all furry guests. I have a very secure location in my house where they are allowed to roam freely in the house with my small yard. I prefer the environment where the client is more comfortable towards its furry being as I understand animals love to stay more where they have grown up. I'm open to stay at client's house for a day or two for house sitting. As a pet sitter, I offer a range of services tailored to the needs of each individual pet, including regular exercise, feeding, bathing, and administering medication if necessary. I am also skilled in handling emergencies giving pet owners peace of mind knowing that their beloved pets are in capable and caring hands. Above all, my motivation to be a pet sitter stems from my unwavering love and passion for animals. I am dedicated to providing the best care possible for pets, creating a stress-free and enjoyable experience for them, and building lasting relationships with both the pets and their owners. I’m currently working from home, as my job offers me a flexible environment to work which helps me fulfill my passion of taking care of pets. On weekends I’m free so I can take full time care. I work according to the client’s need as they know their children better. There are no restrictions in my house as the little ones will not be chained or caged unless required as per the clients request as I believe they should have their own freedom and should feel like home.
“Felix and Rachel were absolutely amazing, they took very good care of our 8 month old Great Dane puppy. They ensured that she had enough exercise, even took her on little outings that she absolutely loved! Highly recommend Felix and Rachel!”
About: I have always had a special connection to animals. I have lots of experience with large to small dogs. I love going on multiple walks with the pups as well as taking them on hikes out to the mountains (if that is something you wish). I have no problem taking them to a dog park as I have an suv. I will send updates on your animals with pictures and videos. I myself have a cat so I have a lot of experience with felines as well. You can count on me to give your fur babes the best love,attention, cuddles and care. If you would like me to stay at your home overnight I will treat it as my own and make sure to leave it in pristine condition. I look forwards to meeting you and making new furry friends.
About: My focus is on creating a safe, loving environment where your dog feels at home, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. I treat every dog like family, keeping you updated with photos and reports so you always feel connected. I’m currently working full-time as a supervisor at Starbucks, which allows me to have flexible hours. My schedule provides me with plenty of availability in the mornings, as my shifts typically start in the late afternoon. I stay at an apartment providing a safe and secure space for your dog to play and relax. Additionally, there’s a dog park just a 3-minute walk from my home, offering the perfect opportunity for socialization, exercise, and outdoor fun.
“Connor did a fantastic job looking after our dog and house while we were away in Ontario for Christmas. He sent regular updates and I think walked the dog more then we do! Will definitely be using his services again.”

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Olds 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 Olds 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 Olds 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
