“What a great service! Spencer is committed to my dog. Stayed in our house while we had a family emergency and a business trip. Our dog loved him at first sight. Thanks Spencer”
“What can I say, Kendra is outstanding, reliable, great with the pups, professional, flexible and friendly. I’m almost afraid to give her great reviews because I want to keep her all to myself as she’s great in every single ways 😊”
“Lyra was, without a doubt, the most skilled, patient and friendly dog sitter (and trainer!!!) we have EVER had. Our dogs adored her, and she went above and beyond to train our new rescue dog, working on his fears, barking and leash pulling. I didn’t worry once about either dog, we were updated frequently with pics and training progress, and we came home to HAPPY, brushed dogs and a spotlessly clean house. I can’t recommend Lyra enough!!! Amazing.”
“Was a pleasure meeting Pam and having her care for our dogs was the best decision. They were so comfortable with her right away. She took wonderful care of them and our home. My dogs have a new best friend. Not sure if they even minded we were gone. We will definitely choose Pam to care for our fur babies in the future without hesitation.”
“Derlene is amazing. We had her for a home sitting. All of our dogs loved her. She sent us pictures of them while we were away. She was very friendly, personable and easy to communicate with while we were away. Our house was spotless with freshly washed sheets and made bed when we got home. We were so happy with her that we've booked her again. Thank you Derlene.”
“We came home after a week holiday to three happy puppies. We received photos almost daily and our one puppy who has some quirks warmed right up to Brooke. We can not complain. Not only were Our puppies happy but our house well taken care of. We would recommend Brooke to take care of your puppies and home anytime.”
“Robbin was fantastic. She cared for my home and love my fur baby like she was hers while i was away. Will definitely be booking again with her. Thanks so much Robbin. I appreciate it.”
“Colby took great care of Mookie! We were concerned given Mookie’s age (17 yrs old) and temperament; but Colby did a great job of making Mookie feel relaxed. She provided update photos via the portal which gave us peace of mind. Thanks Colby - very much appreciated! We would have no hesitation in going with Colby again.”
“Amy stayed at our home with our two dogs while we were away. She was responsive and adaptable to our young dog and our senior fellow. She even provided a video of our pups playing. With Amy’s help we enjoyed our time away and our pups were well cared for. Thanks, Amy!”
About: With 5 years of dog kennel experience and personal training for dogs, I am a highly skilled pet care provider. Trustworthy, reliable, and passionate about dogs, I stand out from the rest. My boyfriend and I just moved to Uculelet to get to experience this beautiful place! If you have multiple dogs, or your pet may need some extra help my boyfriend Chase’s is willing to help in anyway, and may be assisting me on walks. ❤️ As a flexible dog walker, I can work around your schedule. Although I work 9-5 five days a week, my days off vary, and I'm always willing to make last-minute arrangements to ensure your pet is taken care of. There are occasions where I can get off at 3 pm, it really depends on the day. Keeping dogs safe while on walks is a top priority for me. With my extensive experience walking multiple dogs at the kennel, I am skilled in ensuring their safety by utilizing proper leash techniques and monitoring their behavior around other animals and people. Your dog's safety is always my number one concern.
“She took amazing care of my puppy and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was responsible, loving, and great with communication. When unexpected circumstances came up, she kindly agreed to stay longer, which I truly appreciated. I came home to a happy puppy and a well-kept home. Highly recommend her! 💛”
About: I’ve always loved animals and really enjoy getting to know each dog and their personality. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits and make sure every pup gets plenty of attention, exercise and care while you’re away. I currently work full time during the day, so I’m available for walks and drop-in visits in the evenings, on weekends and holidays. I love staying active and spending time with dogs, so it fits perfectly into my evenings and weekends. I follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave for me. I make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for, whether that includes walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime or just some company. I’ll also send photo updates so you know how they’re doing.
“Aggie provided wonderful personalized care to each of my animals, making sure they felt comfortable, loved, and kept right on their regular routines. Receiving regular updates and photos throughout her stay gave me total peace of mind while I was away. On top of taking incredible care of the animals, she left the house in pristine condition—immaculately clean, tidy, and respected. It was such a gift to return home to happy, relaxed pets and a spotless house. I would recommend Aggie without reservation to anyone looking for a top-tier house and pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
About: I’ve spent years dog sitting and also have experience working with foster dogs, which has taught me how to adapt to different temperaments, needs, and routines. I’ve also cared for dogs with special needs, including vision loss and seizure conditions, so I’m comfortable staying calm, attentive, and responsive in more sensitive situations. I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs, they tend to trust me quickly, and I’m often told I have a bit of an “animal whisperer” touch. Whether it’s helping a nervous dog feel safe, keeping up with an energetic pup, or giving extra patience to senior dogs, I focus on making each dog feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to your pets. I’m able to provide attentive care, regular walks, and lots of love, making sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I care for pets in a calm, safe, and loving environment where their comfort and routine always come first. I make sure to follow each pet’s individual needs closely, giving them gentle attention, consistency, and patience so they feel secure and at ease while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own “special creature,” focusing on building trust and making sure they feel protected, not just supervised.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life from puppies and kittens through to their senior years. It was rare to only have one animal in the house at a time. Loving and caring for our furry family members means also being willing to administer medications and cleanup their environments too, when needed. I am a professional that works in a hybrid setting (workplace & home office). I live in Spruce Grove, AB and work in Beaumont, AB and can accept booking for quite a large kilometre radius because of this. I will care for and love each of your pets as if they were my own. The specific details of this will be up to you as I honour your instructions for each pet and the parameters of what type of booking it is (walks only/drop-ins etc.).

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stony Plain
Spencer was amazing. First time Lily had been with someone other than her owners. He provided her comfort during thunderstorms, administered meds with her meals, took her for regular walks, kept me updated on everything. He also sent pictures regularly. Went above and beyond by staying later than booked due to flight cancelation. Will definitely use Spencer again. Genuinely cares for your pet like he would his own. Highly recommended.
Laura went above an beyond what we were expecting ! She was so good to our dogs, they got walked, play, and lots of snuggles. Even our shy cat came out for her and got some cuddling. We are so grateful to her for taking care of them while we had a holiday. Our flight was even delayed unexpectedly and she was able to stay and check in on them to ensure they got their feedings. She gave us peace of mind and we highly recommend. Great communication as well. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Stony Plain on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Stony Plain 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 Stony Plain 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 Stony Plain 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. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
