“Naomi was fantastic with our big boy! From the beginning she was easy to communicate with and after meeting her we felt very comfortable not only leaving our dog under her care but also our house. She took fantastic care of our boy and was super adaptable to his needs and we could tell that he absolutely adored her! We will absolutely book with her again!”
“Sara was fantastic! We booked a two week trip and then realized our previous sitters had all had their own families and unable to watch our dog. We were so grateful to have found Sara as she took incredible care of our girl, sent adorable daily photo updates, and our house was exactly as we had left it. But what stood out for us was that our dog was so relaxed when we got home because for us it was a sign she had a great time while we were gone and was taken care of amazingly. We will without a doubt use Sara again in the future.”
About: Your pet is a member of your family- I understand that and will treat them like a VIP. I had a shih-tzu for 16 years and she was a big part of my life, from the time she was a perky little pup to spunky senior. I am compassionate and able to care for your pet at any stage of life. I have recently changed my career path and I am available for long walks, park play times, and quiet naps all day and every day. I enjoy the outdoors, and I have great instincts for dog care. I have a nice little fenced yard and very few stairs in my home. It’s just the two of us living here, and no pets of our own. If you need me to come to your home, I am willing to maintain whatever routines work best for your pet.
“Lyra was excellent with our girl Bella. Bella did so well with her and the photos and videos that were sent for the entire week were great and appreciated! Thank you.....Lyra!!!! I was worried to leave Bella for the entire week, but Lyra put my mind at ease. (I think she misses Lyra with all the play time she got)”
“Zenna did a great job housesitting our 2 large dogs for a week! Her communication was great throughout the initial booking, meet and greet, and our trip. Our dogs eat raw and can be a bit of a handful, but she took the time to ask all about their routines, temperaments, and quirks during the meet and greet. She sent update pictures throughout our trip, and when we got home our dogs seemed happy and well taken care of. Our house is clean (even with a shedding Husky). I'd definitely feel comfortable have Zenna watch our pups again!”
About: *husband is currently free to help with pets as well if you happen to have an animal who is a little more comfortable with men* 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!
“Rilyn stayed with our dog for two weeks while we away and we came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless house. Her communication was excellent and always prompt. Highly, highly recommend!!”
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.
About: With 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, the occasional hamster, bird, fish, turtle… I offer calm, attentive and highly personalized care to a small number of clients. I’m selective about fit and work best with friendly, well-mannered pets whose owners value reliability and communication. Walks are unrushed and tailored to your dog’s pace, energy and comfort. Pet sitting follows their established routine, with affection, enrichment and regular photo updates. I prefer building trusted, ongoing relationships with a few wonderful dogs rather than filling my calendar with as many bookings as possible. Pet care is a deliberately limited part of my weekly schedule. I accept only a small number of bookings so I can be punctual, present and unhurried with each dog. I’m available for scheduled walks and planned pet sitting, with advance bookings preferred. A meet-and-greet helps us confirm that your dog, their routine and my care style are a good fit. Your dog’s safety, comfort and normal routine come first. During walks and care in your home, I follow your instructions carefully, double-check doors, gates, collars and harnesses, and never allow dogs off leash in unsecured areas. I provide calm, individual attention rather than large group outings or pack walks. I respect your home, communicate clearly and send regular photos and updates. Before our first booking, I prefer a meet-and-greet and complete information about your dog’s health, behaviour, veterinarian and emergency contact.
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with an 8 year old Rottweiler named Pablo. As well as 2 cats, Ginny & Alfie! They’re the closest things to children I have, and I love them deeply. I understand the importance of finding someone who will care for your furry family members in the same way! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give your fur babies ample attention, love and the care they deserve. Love the outdoors, especially long walks! I’d love to provide your pets with the same care, love, patience and attention I give my own! :) I’m a relator with a vast knowledge of Edmonton and greater areas. This allows me to have an extremely flexible schedule that can serve me and you well! I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup as well as two cats that keep to their lonesome. A big yard and a calming environment. Can crate as per request!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westlock on Rover is $33.3 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 Westlock 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 Westlock 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 Westlock 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
