“This was Briley’s second stay with our pups and once again, she did a wonderful job. Great communicator and gives us the peace of mind that our pups are well taken care of and loved on.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since childhood, I began pet sitting as a service in my early 20s with my daughter in Las Vegas… I enjoy walking and playing with dogs… feeding and caring for them, cleaning up and keeping them safe and healthy. Dogs are great friends to my heart. I have a full time job, on my days off I am available all day for drop in potty breaks/cleanups or walks and sitting… during days I work- I am available for drop in walks etc around my shifts/breaks… overnight stays are open availability… I can also book same day services if needed and available. I have my own vehicle so I can drive to your home at anytime and I am very communicative for updates and check ins on your pets, as well as dependable with my commitments. In my clients’ home, I respect the outlined house rules also the requirements for each dog specifically(like medication or treat limits etc)… including the emotional needs of the animal- every dog is different and I enjoy making a connection with dogs for safety and comfort for both you and your pet to rely on. I am comfortable cleaning up potty situations indoors and outdoors. And I appreciate structure laid out ahead of time for the needs of each dog according to their own lifestyle.
About: I always insure that pets are comfortable! I’ve taken care of old cats and dogs, and I when they are old like that it’s important to meet their needs first, as most of the time they need a lot of guidance and help. I am currently going into online college, so most of my day is free! I often sit down and watch TV or play video games, but I mostly enjoy writing and drawing in my free time I personally like to ask owners how there pets are in the company of others, as well as if any weather bugs them! The comfort of my pets, and owners is always my number 1 priority! I want to make sure that they are comfortable around me, and I never approach any animal until I’ve let them sniff me, it’s important that they trust me to be around them.
About: I was always around a dog as a child and grew up knowing what they wanted, when to go outside, when to feed them and make sure they were played with. They can be unbelievable friends and I think they keep our lives actively expanding. I like to work part time and do the dog sitting when ever it's needed. It can be a random cases and I'm more welcoming to act on immediate services needed. I male sure the pet doesn't get into anything. For example: The trash can, anything chemical on the floor and make sure before they come over...if dog is being watched from my home. I make sure to clean up vacuum and make sure it's an very clean environment. Only feed them what pet owners advise me to give their dogs.
“Helen is just wonderful and I am so grateful to have found her! She took great care of our two fur babies as well as our house for 10 days. We came back to a clean house and happy dogs. Helen was excellent at providing updates and responding to any messages I sent in a timely manner. I never felt uneasy with our fur babies being in her care. It was a great feeling to be able to enjoy our vacation knowing our babies and home were being looked after and taken care of. I highly recommend and will be a repeat client. Thanks Helen!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my family since I was a little girl, and caring for them has always been something close to my heart. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed helping neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family members with dog sitting and dog walking. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I would make it a priority in my daily and weekly routine. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their regular schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I would plan my schedule around each pet’s individual needs to ensure they receive dependable, compassionate care and feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I always make sure pets are comfortable and safe in my home and also in their home. I make to follow their regular routines for walking, feeding, playing and any other instructions their families provide. I know it’s hard for pets to be away from their families so it is my priority to give them the attention and love they need. Every pet gets treated like family so I want families to know their pet is in the hands of someone who is friendly, caring and dependable.
“This was our first housesitting experience, and Erika was great! She was an excellent communicator before, during, and after. Bonus: she left the house in great shape as well. Thanks Erika!!”
“Claire took care of my geriatric dogs who have eating issues. I believe that she was patient and tried any way to help them eat. She was here a full week and I came home to a clean house. We will use her again!”
About: I have always loved dogs and grew up with my own and truly enjoy taking care of them. I'm dependable, attentive, and experienced with petsitting, I will treat your animals like family. I work full time, but have a flexible enough schedule to care for your pets. I am very willing to negotiate a flexible schedule to meet you and your pets needs. I am free in the evenings and weekends! I would prefer staying at my clients home. I have found that this is easier for the pet to be comfortable in their own home and space.
About: I grew up wanting a dog and not being able to have one, so I took to playing with, walking, and helping to train my neighbors’ dogs instead. I have experience now with all different sizes of dogs. I can comfortably walk any size dog, and work on leash manners if necessary. I also have experience training basic obedience, recall, and working with fearful or reactive dogs. I worked at Puppy’s Playpen for almost 2 years, and gained a ton of experience with all sorts of different types of dogs. I was also trained in administering medications, including insulin, while working there and I’m very comfortable with doing so. As an adult now, I have two dogs of my own. Both of my dogs are crate trained, and I have no problem keeping them up and/or separated from your pet(s) if requested! My brother also lives with me and has a small dog of his own as well, but she stays in his room when he’s not home and is with him when he is. I’m currently between jobs and mostly do DoorDash in my spare time. I’d love to fit your pet(s) into my daily schedule! In my home, I have two dogs and several cats. My dogs do well with other dogs, but are also crate trained and can be separated! My cats are strictly indoor only, but can be contained to one room if needed. I have a large half acre fenced in backyard as well. I do not treat my yard with any kinds of pesticides, but we do not have any pests such as fleas. In a client’s home, care would depend on the type of home/yard. If there is not a fenced in yard, all potty breaks would be on a leash to ensure the safety of your dog. With a fenced in yard, the dog(s) wouldn’t necessarily need a leash but would still be supervised at all times! I’m willing to talk about any special circumstances or specific needs you or your pet have!
“Just relocated to KC and needed a sitter on short notice. Elyssia was amazing with my 4 pups. I was very excited to find a vet tech available as 1 of my pups needed an injection while i was out of town. My pups loved her and were so tired from play when i got home. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Sandra was great with my two dogs. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of! I was a little nervous leaving them, but once I met Sandra I knew they would be in great hands. When I returned home, everything was perfect--dogs were happy and everything was cleaner than I left it. ? I highly recommend Sandra and will be using her again in the near future!”
About: Growing up in a household where I wasn’t allowed to have a pet of my own, I searched for every chance to spend time with furry friends. I spent a lot of time at neighbors’ and friends’ houses playing with and pet-sitting their dogs, studying a variety of dog breeds, and watching pet shows like “Too Cute” on Animal Planet. In middle school I volunteered at the animal shelter and in high school I was exposed to many therapy dogs at the hospital. Finally, 7 years ago I got a shih-poo of my own and it’s been such a joy getting to spoil her rotten. Dogs bring us so much light, love, and companionship so they deserve to be treated with utmost care and pampered to their heart’s content! I will make sure your precious pet gets the attention it needs so that you can live your life care free and they can live theirs cared for! I am not currently working so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend! My availability is completely open for walks, check ins, and whatever and however much care your pet may need! I have a large fenced in yard with ample space for your pet and I to play and run around in. My shih-poo can keep your four-legged friend company or can be caged up, whichever you and your pet are comfortable with. I have a variety of dog treats that your pup is welcome to as well.
About: Grew up with beagles and now have pit bulls. There is very little I haven’t seen or helped out with in my life. Excited to meet your dogs and do my best! Working full time teaching right now but can possibly get out for an hour and half for lunches. Anytime availability from 4pm to 10 pm on weekdays. Treat every animal I encounter like my own. Let them get comfortable with me first and then continue to progress our companionship from that point. Love being outside so dogs will get a lot of safe outside time
About: I’ve taken care of others pets or my own most of my life. I have had my current dog for seven years. He just turned 12 so I also have experience with geriatric animals as well I am a single father so my availability can fluctuate depending on if you are okay having a a 3 year old come and help (fully supervised) . Want to be able to best meet everyone’s unique needs! I will follow any and all instructions left for me. I’ll make sure your pet feels like you never left the house and that every need is met.
“Tia is awesome!! She and our dogs got along great. We had easy communication and received daily messages with photos about their daily activities together. Tia even did some training with Gracie. Also, the house was immaculate. Tia is very sweet, clearly loves dogs and she was committed to doing a wonderful job while we were on vacation.”
“Emily was wonderful. She kept me up to date and sent pictures. I actually relaxed while out of town and didn’t worry about Fiona. Emily went above and beyond, she even ran the dishwasher and stripped her bed. Highly recommend Emily.”
About: Hello! I’m Sarah! I’m an animal lover and have experience with pets of all breeds, shapes, and sizes! I think the most important part of caring for any pet is getting to know them! I would love to meet for your furry friend! Pet care is such a huge part of my life. Between my zoo of animals and the ones I get to meet through rover it is a full time job. I have never had a job I loved more! I have 3 cats and 1 dog who I love very much! All of them are spoiled rotten. My cats are indoor and my pitbull-dachshund mix comes and goes inside/outside as he pleases! Every pet is different and every household operates differently, so I am willing and ready to care for your pet however you may prefer!
“Stephanie did an excellent job of taking care of my cat while I went on vacation. She sent updates and pictures to me while I was gone. She completely won over my cat. I highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely book her again for my next trip.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,396 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cochrane. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans 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 Cochrane walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cochrane 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!
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 Cochrane 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!
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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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.
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.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
