“Spencer was great to deal with and took great care of our pets for the weekend we were away. Excellent communication, home well taken care of, and clearly cares for animals. Thanks Spencer!”
“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.”
“Kendra is amazing with our dogs and cat. She is responsive, punctual, and so kind to our animals. They were comfortable with her immediately. She took excellent care of our babies and our home while we were away.”
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.).
“This is our first time using rover - samana was awesome. She kept us updated on our dogs evening so we felt completely at ease. She was right on time and never gave us a moments worry. Lucky Howie!”
“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.”
“This was my first time ever leaving my pets with someone other than family. I was nervous but after meeting her and watching my pets converge on her, my anxiety went away! She went above and beyond and cleaned for us after her stay. I felt confident that my pets were safe in her care.”
“Naomi's love of animals is very evident in her interaction with our pets. They love her too! Her photo updates were very appreciated. Our home was cared for as well. We look forward to having Naomi dog/house sit in the future.”
About: I grew up with animals since a young age, my family always had dogs and every summer I’d spend months out at my godmother’s farm helping take care of all kinds of animals including a barn full of cats. Professionally I was employed as a groomer/doggy daycare attendant so im well versed in handling animals of all sizes and temperaments! Currently between jobs just trying to make ends meet in a way that brings joy and allows others to know their babies are safe at home while they’re out living life. I’m recently unemployed so I’ve got nothing but time on my hands! I enjoy going for daily walks on my own so I would have no problem having a pet join me on my day. Following whatever guidelines they have set up for their pets! I will hang out with them and take good care of them no matter where we are!
“Janessa was incredible with our dog and two cats! Our dog loved her right away and we knew our pets were going to be in good hands! We came back to a nice and clean home, she had even done the dishes and laundry!! Can’t recommend her enough!! 🥰”
“Deliah was amazing. She was able to overcome the personality/attitude of our one kitty. Our kitties are both on medications and can be a lot to manage, Deliah did great. . She communicated very well with us and our neighbour that had to fill in the medication gabs when Deliah was at work. It was great coming home to a clean house, it was like she was never here. Deliah did a fantastic job. We definitely will be reaching out to her again when we need a house/kitty sitter. Highly recommend her, your house and fur babies will be in great hands.”
“Brooke was absolutely wonderful with our pets, I could tell she loved them and they loved her. As a concerned "parent to my babies" I had reservations about leaving Millie and Ella with someone as they are only a year old and I haven't been away from them much. My husband and I also work from home so our pets are really never alone. Brooke stayed in our home, listened to our concerns, read all our directions, reported to us daily and was very professional and caring. First time using Rover and Brooke, I give them both 5 stars.”
“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.”
“We had another sitter cancel Last minute and David was able To help us out with watching our dogs. We use another dog sitting website and ended up with no sitter. David came over a week before we left to ensure he could watch our dogs and it was a good fit. We have a young puppy too and he was very accommodating. We also liked that david stayed most of time at home With the dogs to train The puppy. Our house was also clean when we came home and had daily pictures and a video sent. It was very easy to communicate. We recommend david for Sure.”
“Robbin made this so easy. She came out to meet our dog prior to us leaving on our trip. While we were away, she kept us updated on everything to do with Jelly Bean. She left our house cleaner than she found it and she also made sure we had made it home, so she knew Bean was good and safe. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first time experience.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Stony Plain is $50
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!

The average cost for House Sitting in Stony Plain on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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
- 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.
