About: I have had animals in my home since I was 7 years old. I have had a variety of different animals, and along the way they have all left an imprint on my heart in there own way and have taught me many lessons. I currently live on a farm, and have many animals and experience with many different types of animals. I have taken two training courses, and now train all our own animals. I have also fostered in Calgary for 8 years before moving to the farm. I have specialized in rehabilitation, shy, abused, fearful, and neglected animals. I give these animals grace, a loving, soft and caring place to be able to find forever homes, and in some cases my home was home. I have had seniors, wounded, babies, and sick animals in my home. We have also had new births and babies on the farm. I am truly meant to be taking care of animals, definitely my calling. Now that my kids are grown I left the school system, and I am getting back to what I love. This along with my farm are my commitments. I can devote all the time needed to care for your fur family as required. I have a fully fenced 2 acre area for dogs to play. I do have a heated shop, and outdoor run available, that always are accessable. I have rooms in my home that when we take in dogs it's designated their space. Free roam is all day when home. But unless I need to leave, for the safety of your animals, a round wire area is designated for your pet. Will also depend on frequency and relationship built, these dynamics could change over time.
About: I’m Jordon, a fellow animal mother as well as lover! I’ve always felt more connected and in tune with animals over people. Not only have I always had pets throughout my 28 years in life, I also have 10+ years of professional pet sitting. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, bunnies and other caged animals such as mice, Guinea pigs and hamsters. A large home with enough love to go around for all. The yard is perfect for doggo adventures and long games of fetch. Your furry companion is guaranteed to be sent home tired and happy. I have one beautiful crate trained boy named Baxter. He’s a well behaved Rottweiler with lots of spunk. He loves making new friends, even loves cats - they always rule the rooster. If your dog(s) do not socialize with other animals all too well, my home is double suited (both occupied by myself) so they can be split up without any issues at all! My husband and 6 year old son also reside in the home. Looking forward to making some pawsome new fur friends! I currently work from home,so my schedule is flexible. I love to spend lots of my time outside with the dogs. Well maintaining a healthy homestead. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of grass space for your dog to run around. Lots of space inside my home and large couches for puppy naps. Bring your toys/balls! Play time is always encouraged here!!
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I recently moved to Canada from Ukraine, while my own dog, Oskar, stayed back home with my family. I miss him every day, and caring for other dogs brings me so much joy and helps me feel connected to what I love most. I’ve spent years looking after Oskar as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always treat them with patience, kindness, and love. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Before and after work, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I’m available for overnight stays, evenings, weekends, and longer bookings. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and provide regular photo and message updates, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I believe every dog deserves to feel relaxed, loved, and at home while their family is away :)
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 18 years of experience caring for pets. Growing up with cats and dogs, animals have always been a big part of my life. Before starting my career as a behavioral therapist, I worked in grooming salons, dog daycares, and alongside dog trainers, gaining experience with pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed and always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m reliable, responsible, and would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members! I am in calgary Mon-Fri school days for work and finished at 230. Which leaves me lots of time to help out whenever is needed. No matter the environment, I can ensure your pets safety. I will keep a close eye when in yard and always ensure to follow any instructions left.
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of pets, from energetic youngsters to calm seniors. I’m comfortable with medical care like pills and injections, follow routines closely, and adapt easily to each pet’s personality. I’m patient, observant, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether that means playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company and comfortable while you’re away. 💛🐶🐱 Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time, flexibility, and attention to give your pet. I’m available for walks, playtime, feedings, medications, and just being there to keep your pet happy and comfortable throughout the day. 🐾 I create a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I carefully follow all instructions, routines, and safety guidelines, including feeding, medications, and special needs. I’m attentive, gentle, and always keep an eye on behavior or health changes. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet with respect, patience, and the same care I’d give my own.
“Liza was very good with giving Shyanne her injections twice daily & she sent check-ins & check outs twice daily. Ours was different pet sit situation as my mom was their to clean litter boxes & feed them so I cannot comment on that. I will highly recommend Liza as she was on time for daily injections & Shyanne was good with her giving injections.”
About: ** No longer taking reservations for 2018 - I work with dogs professionally. What started as a part time job has quickly changed my whole life- dogs are it now. I have experience with rescue dogs, seniors, tiny tiny toy breeds, special needs dogs (deaf, blind, epileptic), giant dogs and even aggressive dogs (I have the scars to prove it) I’m happy step in as a surrogate pet parent for anyone because I know this is my calling. I would never give service I wouldn’t accept for my little one. Dogs become members of your family and that’s how I will treat them, the same as I treat my own or my clients at work. I find that every dog has something special to offer and just need the right person to make them feel comfortable.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats in my life for over 50 years and have an amazing ability for having them relate to me.

I live on an acreage with a fenced yard and two friendly Maltese dogs and a dog friendly cat named Nigel. Dogs names are Maggie and Monty.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Strathmore is $39 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $49 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,744 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Strathmore. About 89% of Strathmore sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
