“Darlene is great at what she does. She has taken care of our home and pets twice now, and we love her. She updates us as needed. She takes care of the place and leaves no foot print. We are so lucky too have known her, and will continue to hire her services. Our dogs love her.”
“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 😊”
“Chloe was wonderful! This was our first time using this service and it was very smooth. I felt very comfortable and confident Hershey was left in good hands. Chloe was providing me with updates with pictures while we were gone. If I messaged her she was very quick to respond. I highly recommend her!”
“First time using the app and Jesse set the bar very high with regular pictures and updates! The home was kept very clean, Jesse was always very respectful when we met. I would highly recommend using Jesse and will be using him again! 10/10 all around.”
About: I’ve cared for pets through personal experience (I mayyyy or may not have 6 dogs😅) and by helping friends, family, and coworkers with their animals. I’m comfortable with daily routines including feeding, walks, playtime, litter boxes, and administering basic care. I pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour and needs, and I prioritize safety, patience, and consistency to help pets feel calm and secure while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m reliable with timing and committed to maintaining your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. Consistency and dependability for you and your fur babies are my number one priority. Another thing to add, I work Saturdays from 4pm until about 10:30/11pm. I have Saturdays booked off but please still feel free to request me if I’m needed on a Saturday! If you need me on a Saturday and need me there, I can definitely see about getting my shift covered! :) I provide a calm, safe, and respectful environment for every pet. I’m attentive to routines, careful in new situations, and always mindful of your pet’s comfort and well-being. I care for pets and homes as if they were my own.
“Kyla watched our 130lb Cane Corse Blue for 2 nights in our house. She went above and beyond, contacting me and sending photos she took of Blue. Her knowledge in dog care came in handy when she noticed blood on the floor due to a bloody paw. She contacted me right away, identifying that he had a hot spot (which I had not heard of before) and let me know she had already taken care of cleaning his paw for us. Blue was in the best hands with Kyla and she will be the first contact I go to when booking another dog sitter. What a relief knowing your loved one is in such great care! Thanks again Kyla! :)”
About: I’ve had dogs growing up as long as I can remember! A little while ago I worked in a dog boarding facility for close to a year! I am currently taking a break from work and school before starting university next year, so I am not busy during weekdays and occasionally weekends! I can provide plenty of exercise and love to the dog, while also respecting the owner's home and belongings and following any needs/routines the dog has!
About: Hi! I’m Shaina — a Fear Free Certified pet sitter with Pet First Aid training, focused on calm, low-stress care in your home. I have experience pet sitting for friends and family, private pet sitting through my business Soft Paws Pet Sitting, and experience volunteering with SAFE Team Rescue. Now insured. I’m especially comfortable with small dogs, senior dogs, and dogs who need patience, routine, or gentle handling. I take a quiet, attentive approach and follow your instructions closely. I’ve cared for dogs through volunteering and private pet sitting through Soft Paws Pet Sitting, and I’m building my Rover profile by providing reliable, thoughtful care to each family I work with.
“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.”
“Lyra, was great with my nervous boy Suki, she was patient and ingaged him with playtime and love. I was worried Suki would b really anxious, but he warmed up to her quickly.”
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.
“Colby was absolutely amazing! She treated our two labby's like her own; cuddles, xtra pets, treatos, etc. She also kept in contact with me the whole time that we were gone; sent pics of the girls and cute texts. First time that we had not left them with family, and it was a great experience. Colby is officially our GO TO! Please hire her!!! (Just not when we need her, lol).”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stony Plain
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 July 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
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
