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.
“All the animals were well taken care of & stress free. Ashton was very good to them & was attentative to what the animals were up to & where they were. Ashton was also very respectful of our house & went beyond what we expected.”
About: I am a retired grandma with 24 years of experience looking after the dogs from puppies to seniors, cats, and homes. I enjoy it thoroughly. I’m retired now and can’t think of a better way to fill my time then caring for your pet. Plus they are great listeners 😀 I’ll care for your furry one and your home with love, patience, and routine, keeping them happy, comfortable and spoiled- because pets deserve VIP treatment
“Dionne was excellent with our girls ❤️ I was able to relax while away knowing they were in such great care. Dogs were happy when we got home, house looked great. Will definitely be reaching out for care again in the future!”
“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!”
“Sara is always amazing! We just got back from our trip and the house is spotless and our dog is happy and healthy. So glad we can count on Sara for amazing service while we’re away!”
“We were so fortunate to have Stacey care for our house and very active 9 month old dog Ollie while we were on vacation. Stacey and her sweet furry side kick Fred entertained Ollie with brain games, fetch, long walks and lots of snuggles! She sent us pictures and updates daily which our whole family enjoyed. We were so worried about Ollie due to him having separation anxiety. However, Stacey’s experience with dogs and willingness to keep Ollie mentally and physically stimulates worked like a charm! We will recommend Stacey to everyone and would be happy to have her help again!!”
“Lucie was great with my dogs, they can be a handful, so it was nice to have someone come and stay in my home with them. She sent photos and updates throughout the weekend. And I came home to happy dogs and a clean house!”
“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!”
“Chandra was wonderful! She was very accommodating and attentive to our doggies! She kept us informed and updated, sent photos and seemed genuinely concerned for our doggies and their well being. When we returned our dogs appeared very happy and contented and the house was well kept. Definitely hope Chandra will be available to us again in the future! We were very satisfied with her service!”
“Jason took care of our 2 pups for a few days and was great! Super friendly, accommodating and provided lots of updates. We would definitely recommend him as a reliable dog sitter.”
“Erin was terrific. She communicated well, took care of Koda and our home very well ... everything was tidy and it great shape upon our return. She sent us some photos each day we were away. We would use Erin's services again.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“She truly goes above and beyond. She did everything to make sure my poor girl was comfortable as she was having some anxiety issues and she took every extra step to help her get through it. By the end they were besties… which also eased my mind. Was also a special sprite to come home to a house that was put together and dogs that were happy and excited. She will be permanent and regular”

“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.”

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.
