“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.”

“Daniel was GREAT while house sitting my golden! Very attentive and sent daily photos and even daily logs. I have already booked Daniel for another stay and will continue to book him in the future.”

“Lilia was amazing with our rescue pup, Berkley! She is super calm and kind - we could tell our Berkley already felt comfortable around her the first time she met her! She sent us many photos throughout the weekend. She was very communicative and professional. We would recommend her to any friend or family member!”

About: Since I was a kid, I've been surrounded by pets. My dogs have been my buddies, showing me the ropes of training and taking care of furry pals. And you bet, I've also chilled with plenty of cool cats along the way. Whether it's dogs or cats, I've got the experience and love to keep them happy and well-cared for. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule and routine. I've tailored my commitments to ensure that I'm never away from home for more than three hours at a stretch, giving your furry friend the attention and care they deserve. With my wife working from home three days a week, there's always someone around to keep our pup company. And on weekends, we make it a priority to spend quality time together, cuddling with our pup and exploring the great outdoors with walks in the park. At home or at clients' places, pets get personalized care. We're lucky to have a private dog park nearby for playtime. Also, safe trails offer scenic walks. Plus, our pet spa ensures comfortable baths for a relaxing experience.
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: Hi! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, crested geckos, bearded dragons, and iguanas! I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and routines, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. Expect lots of love, attention, playtime, and photo updates while you’re away! 🤍🐶🐱🦎 I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability to provide your pets with the attention and care they deserve! 🐾 I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, litter box care, and plenty of cuddles. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and schedule so they can stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. 🤍 Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. 🐾 I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, routines, medications, and household rules. I understand that every pet has different boundaries and personalities, so I’m patient and will always allow them to warm up to me at their own pace. I’ll treat your pets, home, and belongings with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. You can also expect regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! 🤍
“Michael was wonderful! He took excellent care of Duchess over Labor Day and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. He was reliable, communicative, and attentive to her needs. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. I would absolutely book with Michael again and highly recommend him!”

About: We love animals! We are a mother/adult son team who will be working together to make your pets feel loved and happy. We recently lost our dog of 16 years and miss having pets around. We have had several dogs and cats of our own over the years and have fostered and placed many more for adoption. We have experience with dogs as small as 4lbs, up to 80lbs, from puppies/kittens to seniors. You will receive frequent updates and pictures throughout the booking, and we are very responsive to texts and calls. My teammate Alex and I are currently working part-time, with alternating schedules, so there is always someone available to care for your pet. We provide frequent updates and pictures, so you never have to wonder what your pet is up to. DROP-IN VISITS: We will listen to and follow your instructions and preferences to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. HOUSE SITTING in your home: We know pets are most comfortable in their own home, so we will listen to and follow your instructions and preferences to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. We are healthy and active and try our best to meet the activity level of your pet. If you would like, we can visit a few times before the booking to ensure your pet is comfortable with us beforehand. With two of us working together, we can provide more frequent check-ins, meaning we can accommodate animals who do not like to be kenneled or left alone. We are able to administer medications. BOARDING in our home: Since we have no pets our own, yours will get all the attention, and no children to bother the senior dogs who just want to relax. We also do not accept more than one family's pets at a time, so no need to worry if your pet will get along with others. We have experience with anxious and reactive dogs as well. We encourage you to visit our home beforehand a few times so your pet is not confused and scared when you leave them for a few days. We have a completely fenced in yard, but dogs are never left out by themselves. With two of us working together, there is hardly a time when your pet will be left alone in the home, meaning we can accommodate animals who do not like to be kenneled. We will listen to and follow your instructions and preferences to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. Cats will have their own room to chill in or can roam the house freely. We are able to administer medications. DOG WALKING: We can discuss your preferences for walking locations and times. Looking forward to hearing from you and providing top quality care for your precious fur children!

About: I grew up on a farm with many dogs, cats, and other animals. In my adult life I have owned a cat, many dogs and a beta fish. I have worked and cared seniors, along with their animals, the last 6 years. I'm currently looking for a job so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I am single with no children or animals at home so I have a lot of flexibility to come to you. I will follow whatever instructions you give to me to take care of your animals. Also if I am staying in your home, I will respect all of your rules.
About: Nice to meet you, I'm Kat! I have been working in the pet industry since early 2019 - beginning as a kennel attendant, evolving into a professional dog trainer in two prominent KC training facilities, and now running my own small business. I am thoroughly versed in canine care and communication, and use my expertise to help every dog I care for have a comfortable and positive experience. Not only that, but I am also very knowledgeable in canine enrichment and stimulation. Have a high-energy, high-needs breed? They'll end their days with me happy and tired. A senior dog that has special needs and benefits from therapeutic stretches? Say no more. Puppies are absolutely welcome as well, and I would love to provide them with opportunities to practice socialization, confidence building, and manners. My experience also means that I am able to care for dogs with behavioural issues and special health needs. I know it can be difficult to find care for dogs with "quirks," and I hope to make that search a little easier. Send me a message and we can chat about your dog and if I would be a good fit. I'm looking forward to meeting your pup! ** I do have a part-time job that takes up much of my time on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This doesn't mean that I'm totally unavailable those days, but we'll need to chat to make sure that my schedule works for your pet. 🙂 The pets I work with are my priority! I want to make sure that my schedule allows me to look after your furry family members' needs. I do work long hours on weekends - but sometimes this can be flexible. We'll have a thorough chat before you book to make sure that your pets will get all of the attention they need and the love they deserve. 🐾IN MY HOME (boarding):🐾 (See "IN YOUR HOME" section below for housesitting. Boarding is dogs only. If you have other kinds of pets, please choose housesitting. Thank you!) My house is pretty well "dog-proofed" and oriented in a way that I am able to keep a close eye on pets from just about anywhere! So your pup gets to be the king of the castle, with lots of room inside & outside to run and play. Not to mention the mountain of toys.... When I cannot monitor them, they'll get to chill in a cozy crate or pen, with fresh water always available and a chew toy, puzzle, or snack to keep them entertained. For walks and other adventures, I will always keep your dog leashed and close to me. I love to take dogs out on excursions to parks, trails, and other such places! Of course, I will always check with you first to make sure that we don't go somewhere your dog doesn't enjoy. I have three adult dogs (all ~45lbs) and a cat in my home. The cat is dog-friendly, but also is able to be kept entirely separate from your dog if needed. My dogs are all 100% dog-friendly, have good play manners, and are also able to be neutral around/ignore other dogs when told. They are very patient with young puppies as well! And if your pup isn't one for new friends, don't worry - they can be kept totally separate on request, and your dog will still get plenty of one-on-one playtime & snuggles with me. It is 100% up to you if your pup has any interaction with other dogs (or the cat). Full separation is possible, but if you'd like your dog to make some furry friends, I am happy to safely facilitate that! All interactions between your dog and other pets will be of limited time and monitored - the dogs will never be alone together. For safety and management reasons, I cannot accept boarding bookings for dogs that are not able to be comfortable in a crate (or pen, for small dogs only). Have other questions or concerns? Send me a message and let's chat about it! Updates will be sent daily, as well as pictures and videos. I look forward to meeting your furry friends. 🐾IN YOUR HOME (housesitting):🐾 Dogs, cats, and exotic pets 👍 (See "IN MY HOME section above for boarding.) Your house, your rules! Before the booking, you & I will have a detailed conversation about your pets' schedule, rules, needs, and preferences. I am happy to follow all of that to a T! My job is to keep your pets happy and safe while you are away. With 7 years of pet care experience, I am confident in caring for all of their needs. This includes pets with behavioral concerns and special needs! For walks and other adventures, I will always keep your dog leashed and close to me. I love to take dogs out on excursions to parks, trails, and other such places, but I will always check with you first to make sure that we don't go somewhere your dog doesn't enjoy. Updates will be sent daily, as well as pictures and videos. I look forward to meeting your furry friends. (Scaled or feathered friends welcome, too!)
About: I understand that your pets are family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, waste cleanup, playtime, companionship, medication administration (if needed), and lots of love and attention tailored to your pet’s routine. Whether you have energetic dogs, independent cats, or multiple pets, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and treat every home with the same respect I would my own. I believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. Because I am a full-time online student, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to make pet sitting my top priority. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5 job where I would be away from the house all day, my school structure allows me to work entirely from home on my own terms. This means I have ample open blocks of time throughout the day dedicated solely to pet care. I can easily accommodate structured feeding times, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions without interruption. Your pets will receive consistent companionship, and because I'm studying from my laptop, I am available to provide the constant supervision, love, and attention they deserve." When caring for pets in your home, my primary goal is to maintain their regular routine so they feel safe and secure while you are away. Seamless Routine Adherence: I strictly follow your established feeding schedules, medication timelines, and specific instructions to keep their environment predictable and stress-free. Meticulous Cat Care: As a multi-cat owner myself, I know the importance of a clean environment. I scoop litter boxes thoroughly during every visit and sweep up any tracked litter. Quality Companionship: Because my full-time student schedule is so flexible, I don't just rush in and out. I dedicate genuine time to interactive playtime with their favorite toys, gentle grooming, or just quiet companionship on the couch while I study. Home Respect & Communication: I respect your space, leave it exactly as I found it, and provide you with detailed daily updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how they are doing.
About: I love dogs and cats like they are my best friends because they are the most loving, loyal creatures I’ve ever met on this planet! They make me so happy always! I have an hour lunch during the week and weekends are usually free! If I commit to watching a dog/cat for several days in a row whether checking in or staying at their home, I make sure they are well taken care of cuz that’s really all that matters. They get all my love and attention! I have a pet friendly house but much rather take care of them at their own home as it’s likely more familiar/comfortable for them and convenient for the pet’s owner.
“Karrie did a great job and caring for Chase and the house! When we got home Chase was his happy self and really seemed like he enjoyed Karrie’s company. The house was well taken care of as well!! Would definitely book with Karrie again!”

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.

“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 am based in San Francisco and will travel to other cities in California if I can get there by public transportation. I travel by e-bike and public transport. I am an honest, reliable, trustworthy person who takes responsibility seriously. I will take great care with your beloved animals and with your home. I love animals of all kinds and have looked after cats of every temperament, many breeds of dogs as well as chickens, turkeys, goats and fish! I feed, play and groom animals according to your instructions and always love to give pets extra love and attention. Frequently, both dogs and cats who are not friendly right away, or who may be shy or reserved, come right over and cuddle with me. Many pet parents are happily surprised when they see this happen! I am an artist and a real homebody and spend most of everyday in the home with your pets. I'm constantly taking photos and videos and will send the cutest ones to the "parents." I would do the same for you! When you have an overnight sitter, your home is protected by having someone there while you are away and pets get to feel the safety and comfort of being in their own environment, reducing the stresses of transporting them, boarding them with other animals they don't know and other discomforts of being in an unknown environment. I will be in the home most of the day, every day and can play with your pups and your kitties as much as they crave! I love caring for animals and spending time with them! And while I am sitting for you, your pets' well-being is my number 1 priority! I am always keeping an eye on things and making sure everyone is healthy, safe and feeling loved. :) I make caring for your pets and your home a priority in every way! I pay attention at all times to all the animals under my care to make sure everyone is healthy, happy and feeling loved and safe! I follow your instructions regarding feeding, playing and grooming.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,423 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cochrane. On Rover:

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.
