Hailey is absolutely amazing, caring, & professional. She took incredible care of our dog Luna in our home while we were away and would book her again in a heartbeat for our next trip. She kept us updated with photos and checked in to let us know how everything was at home with Luna while we were away. Thank you so much for your wonderful care & love for our fur baby.

Our very first time using Rover in a super last minute pinch and we couldn’t be happier with Dionne helping us out! She replied fast on a late evening and was able to accommodate our two pups the very next afternoon. Our Doxie can have really bad separation anxiety and Dionne’s calm presence kept her cool and calm. I could tell when we pick her up that she didn’t feel stressed or anxious with us away!! Such a nice feeling and successful first stay with Dionne! The pictures of the pups relaxing with her helped ease any anxiety knowing they were happy and cared for. We would definitely rebook with Dionne again! 10/10

Micahl was one of the best sitters we have ever had. The dogs loved him and he treated them so well. He was extremely responsive while we were away and provided updates about how the fur babies were doing. He was such a pleasure to deal with. I absolutely recommend having him support your furry family members!

About: I lived with a friend on a hobby farm. She showed me the ropes. I learned how to take care of all animals big and small. I am willing and able to assist in medicine administration. I have tons of free time that I’d love to dedicate to ensuring your furry friend has their needs through the day and even when you’re on vacation I work full time in the city and I hardly ever leave the province and can dedicate as much time needed with your fur babies as you need! I’m very good with early mornings and late night visits. I won’t have pets in my home as I have a cat myself, but I will ensure I know where all food, treats, toys and everything else they require before you leave. I will ask for an emergency response plan in the event I need to get ahold of you asap. I also have my own reliable transportation and will ask for the vet you use in dire emergencies. I will also supervise play time as I know how quick everything can go sideways. I also am very clean, if there’s a mess from your pet, it’ll be cleaned. And I have no problem cleaning litter boxes as well.

Ollie was THRILLED to have Stacey and her sidekick Fred spend time with him again. He walked, practiced tricks, wrestled, indulged in doggy treats, tried new doggy toys, fetched, got lots of snuggles, grooming and rest! Stacey went out of her way to accommodate our last minute request for help and we were so grateful. I don’t think Ollie even missed us! She updated in regularly with pictures and highlights from their adventures together. Stacey has become our “go-to”dog & house sitter.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have a beautiful 5-year-old Border Collie of my own, so I understand just how much love, attention, and care pets need. I also know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby behind when you travel, which is why I genuinely enjoy helping other pet owners feel at ease while they’re away. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and hobby farm animals, including chickens and donkeys. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well loved in their familiar environment. Since I work remotely, I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pets and provide consistent care, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I work remotely full-time. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent care, companionship, and supervision. I structure my schedule to include regular walks, feeding times, play, and check-ins, while also being present for any needs that come up during the day. I’m used to building my routine around animals — whether that’s morning and evening walks, maintaining feeding schedules, or simply being there to provide comfort and attention. Because I’m not away for long periods, your pet gets plenty of interaction and a calm, stable environment while you’re gone. In a client's home, my priority is maintaining your pet's established routine to make my stay as seamless and stress-free as possible. I provide consistent companionship, affection, and attentive care tailored to their unique needs. Because I work remotely, I am home throughout the day, ensuring your pets are never lonely and their schedules are kept on track. I am experienced in caring for animals at all life stages, from energetic puppies to senior pets with specific medical and mobility needs. I have looked after a senior Lab who needed to be carried in and out of the home for potty breaks and outdoor time, as well as a senior Yorkie who required regular eye drops and supervised feeding times. I am very comfortable administering medication and providing the extra physical support senior pets often need. I believe in clear communication and will always send regular updates and photos so you can have total peace of mind knowing your furry family members are receiving dedicated, compassionate, and expert care.

We had a fantastic experience with our Rachel and Jason! They stayed at our house for a full week and took excellent care of our doggo. From the start, communication was clear and consistent, and we really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got back. It was obvious he received lots of attention, exercise, and affection. Our home was also left clean and tidy, which we really appreciated after traveling. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of our pup!

Mehak was wonderful dogsitter for our 17 year old Heidi! Mehak was great with her, taking her for several walks each day, as well as playing and just chilling with her. She sent us daily updates with photos over the 10 days she took care of Heidi. Mehak was also very respectful of our home, bringing her own food, cleaning up, and leaving the house spotless. Wish she wasn't moving, otherwise we would have zero reservation about using Meehak again!

Anastasiia is amazing. We booked her last minute for a two week stay after our cat injured himself and needed more care while we were away. We were very anxious about traveling while he was hurt and needed vet checks. From the moment we met, we could tell that she truly loves and understands animals. She took such great care of all of our pets including our injured cat who required daily medication, our other two cats and our small dog. We received frequent communication and pictures. I could tell that our pets were loved, happy and very comfortable. It allowed us to go on our vacation with absolute peace of mind. I can’t say enough good things about Anastasiia.

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.

Madison was incredible! She house-sat for us and took amazing care of our two girls while we were away. She kept us updated with photos and messages, followed all of our instructions, and went above and beyond to make sure our pups were comfortable and happy. She even took it upon herself to keep an eye on our snake, even though we did not expect her to! We came home to happy pups and a spotless house, which was so appreciated after a day of travelling. We felt completely at ease knowing Madison was with our girls- this is the third or fourth time we have had her over to dog sit and highly recommend her to anyone needing a trusted house sitter and dog lover!

FAQs for House Sitting - Olds

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Olds on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 63 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Olds. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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 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, 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. 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.
