“Happy to have Courtney house sit for us. Our dog and cat were able to stay home in a heatwave and were well cared for. We got lots of photos and updates and will definitely book Courtney again.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a little girl. It’s a passion and a mission of mine to protect all animals . I started volunteering and working at a young age with my hometown SPCA for well over 10 years. I wanted to make sure every dog got to go out for a walk everyday. Some days I had up to 22 dogs. To this day working there was my most rewarding work I have ever done. It brought me so much joy. I also worked for a company called Spot Dog Walking in Calgary , AB a couple years ago. I am very strong and confident when it comes to handling and walking them properly on a leash. I have some previous training In basic obedience and positive reinforcement. I am also pursuing animal behaviour and animal first aid. I look forward to meeting you all. I also love to bring my 5 year old daughter with me to house sit as she just loves all animals too. She listens well and loves to play fetch for hours on end . Will only bring if it is ok with you of course. My apologies but I can not accommodate animals in my home. Thank you. Right now I am only working Part time on Mondays & Thursdays so I have all other days and times available for you and your dogs needs and wants. I can only care for pets in your home at this time. I follow all instructions from the pet owner . I am very respectful and very clean.
“This was our first time meeting Christina and having her stay overnight with Bean. Christina has a very calm energy and clearly loves animals. 10/10 good with communication, responsible, reliable, and "go with the flow" attitude. Will 100% book again.”
About: Hi there! 🐶 If your pet deserves plenty of love, attention, playtime, and a few extra belly rubs, you’ve come to the right place! I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved; whether that means long walks, outdoor adventures, playing with their favourite toys, or simply curling up for some company and cuddles. Over the years, I have been a proud pet parent to many, including cats, a black lab, corgi, toy chihuahua, yorkie, an american bulldog/english pointer foster fail and a doberman! So I understand that every dog has their own personality, quirks, energy levels, and routines. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your four-legged family member, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, respect their individual needs, and make sure they get plenty of affection, enrichment, and attention while you’re away. And of course, you can expect updates and photos so you never have to wonder what your furry bestie is up to! Whether your pet is an energetic adventurer, a professional napper, or a little bit of both, I’d love to meet them. ❤️ Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and safety will always be my priority. I am home and available 24/7 to be with your pet! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I love building time into my routine for walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, exercise, and rest schedules to help them feel comfortable and settled. My home is a calm, cozy space where pets can feel right at home! 🐾 I have two fenced outdoor spaces for them to explore, and there are nearby parks and trails for fresh air, walks, and exploring. When it’s time to wind down, there’s a big comfy couch, beside a warm fireplace and a king-sized bed for the ultimate cozy snooze. There are also crates, dog beds and blankies available for your pet to feel safe, relaxed, and spoiled with love while they’re here. Basically, a little home away from home with all the comforts and cuddles. ❤️

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Sicamous 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 Sicamous 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 Sicamous 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 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
