“Brandi was absolutely fantastic. She was very responsive. Upon our first meet, she came prepared with a notebook and a form for me to fill out with all the necessary information to ensure a positive experience. During her stay, she sent daily text updates and pictures. She left the house clean and we could tell our dog was well looked after.”
“Our pets immediately took to Alisha! She took such good care of Maze and Sadie that Sadie waited for her to show up the next day after we got home. Will definitely book her again”
“Lauren was amazing with my dog Hippo! She went above and beyond for what I was expecting when it comes to watching him and worked really hard to keep him calm when I was away at work. Would recommend her to anyone who needs their pup watched!”
“Kayleigh did a great job at house sitting with my 2 dogs and 2 cats. They absolutely loved her and she was respectful of the rules I set. Will definitely book again, I recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter”
“Kaitlyn watched both of our dogs and she was absolutely awesome. Our dogs are big and have a lot of energy, we loved getting videos and photos during our time away of them playing! There were consistent updates, which we really appreciated. They were both spoiled with treats! When we came home our pups were so happy and our house was super clean!”
“Borys & Purity were great. The dogs loved them and their energy they bring to the sit. They took good care of our dogs, fed them on time and went for a long walk. Chewy & Nova are lap dogs so loved the cuddles. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing their house and dogs taken care of while they are away.”
“Nicholas did a stellar job of taking care of our doggos. Keeping us up-to-date with pics and updates made us feel so much comfort! We would definitely recommend Nicholas for dog sitting and we hope to have him back to sit our dogs in the future”
“Ashley understood my gangs needs. With 4 big dogs, one of which is very reactive, she did everything needed to keep them happy and safe. She was very responsive, kept me comfortable and sent tons of photos while I was away. She's awesome and I'll definitely be reaching out again.”
“Très bonne communication avec Anne tout au long de son séjour. Douce, gentille et rassurante! Elle envoie des photos et nous avise de comment tout se passe ! numéro un comme gardienne pour notre petite sphynx Gabi 🩷”
About: In addition to care, I offer professional pet photography and portraits that can take place during or outside of bookings. Message for details! :) I am a pre-veterinary student, work at an animal hospital in the NE, and work on the medical team at my favourite animal shelter here in Calgary! In addition to taking care of animals of my own, I have multiple years of experience caring for the needs of dogs, cats, and exotics - ranging from simple to complex needs. Whether it's medical, behavioural, dietary, juvenile, senior, all of the above, or other; I got you covered. My priority is understanding your pet's body language and needs to make sure their experience is as comfortable as possible while meeting their requirements. *Note that my rates are negotiable :) I currently work and study part time, and have flexible availability with my own transportation. I'm available especially at odd, early, or late hours so that we can find the best time for you and your pet. Your pets comfort, safety, and routine is my priority! I have an abundance of experience working with animals in indoor and outdoor environments, and am comfortable using crates, muzzles, harnesses, leads, halters, backpacks, other carriers, etc. to ensure your pet is secure and safe. I'm versed in appropriate and safe handling and restraint techniques and am able to lift heavier loads (i.e. your big babies!).
“Micahl was one of the best sitters we have ever had. The dogs loved him and he treated them so well. He was extremely responsive while we were away and provided updates about how the fur babies were doing. He was such a pleasure to deal with. I absolutely recommend having him support your furry family members!”
“Highly recommend Karen. She was thoughtful, caring, very attentive to instructions, and truly cared for my pets. During the in-house stay, she treated it with respect as if it was her own.”
“We had a great experience with Yaryna! She was caring, responsible, and very tidy. She quickly found the right approach to Max and stayed in touch with us throughout our trip. Max was comfortable and well cared for. We would definitely book with Yarina again!”
“Gabrielle was wonderful! We received a photo daily which put us at ease. Bailey ate well, had lots of excercise and clearly enjoyed her time with Gabrielle. I was so impressed when Gabrielle let me know that she brought Bailey to a puppy Valentine's celebration in Calgary- just because she thought that the dog would enjoy it! I came home to a spotless house and a happy and healthy puppy. There is no question that Gabrielle will be our go-to puppy sitter for the foreseeable future. A big "thank you" to Gabrielle from our whole family.”
“Shelby was amazing with our girl!! She was able to calm my anxious girl who has separation anxiety. My girl loved her the moment she walked into our home. They went on a walk and Shelby just won her over with cuddles and pets. This was my first time leaving my girl with anyone and Shelby surely took great care of her. 🙂”
“This was our first time using Rover and having someone, other than family, look after our dog. Laurie was amazing! She was so attentive to our senior/blind dog and sent regular photos and updates while we were away. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog was being so well cared for by Laurie. Our home was also cared for with the same attention. We would absolutely recommend Laurie.”
“Madison was incredible! She house-sat for us and took amazing care of our two girls while we were away. She kept us updated with photos and messages, followed all of our instructions, and went above and beyond to make sure our pups were comfortable and happy. She even took it upon herself to keep an eye on our snake, even though we did not expect her to! We came home to happy pups and a spotless house, which was so appreciated after a day of travelling. We felt completely at ease knowing Madison was with our girls- this is the third or fourth time we have had her over to dog sit and highly recommend her to anyone needing a trusted house sitter and dog lover!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Strathmore on Rover is $45.51 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,109 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Strathmore. 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 Strathmore 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 Strathmore 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 Strathmore 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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
