About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have over 12 years of hands on experience caring for animals. I currently have two German Shepherds of my own, who I have extensively trained, including for protection work. This has given me a strong understanding of canine behaviour, body language, obedience and confident handling. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels and needs. I’m also a very active and energetic person who loves keeping animals stimulated, exercised and entertained, whether that’s going for walks, playing, training or simply spending quality time together. I’m also a very active and energetic person who loves keeping animals stimulated, exercised and entertained, whether that’s going for walks, playing, training or simply spending quality time together. I work part-time afternoon/evening shifts, starting at 3pm, which means I have plenty of availability during the mornings and early afternoons for pet care. I’m able to dedicate time to walks, play, feeding and giving pets plenty of attention before heading to work. I’m also available on my days off and can be flexible with different routines and schedules. I always make sure pets are cared for in a safe, calm and comfortable environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual routine, personality and needs, and follow their owner’s instructions closely. I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes, energy levels and temperaments, and I prioritise positive reinforcement, supervision and keeping pets active and engaged. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their usual routines as much as possible. I’m responsible, reliable and attentive, and will always make sure pets are safe, comfortable and well cared for while they’re in my care.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats ever since I was born I have raised four of them from puppies I am very well aware of the care they need and I love them so much I want them to have the best. I am free pretty much every day between 9am-3pm I’d love to take dogs on walks and interact with them and give them the love and attention they deserve Cleaning up after Pete is always important and making sure they are well hydrated fed and maybe a cheeky treat if they have been extra good
“Tereza was wonderful! I had my wedding out in banff and needed a dog sitter just while we were out for dinner. Tereza agreed to do a meet and greet with us to make sure my doggy was comfortable with her. She sent me updates right away when I asked and took her for a great walk as well. Lacey loved hanging out with Tereza, would definitely ask her to doggy sit again if we ever needed her :)”
About: (UPDATE) Corinne is away until the 2nd of November and Aaron will be working 7-17:00 Monday to Friday, away from home. So our only availability for these few weeks is weekend and/or weeknights. We moved to the Bow Valley a few months ago... but apparently left our furry friends behind! After years of pet sitting for friends in Vancouver, we've been missing the wagging tails, wet noses, cuddles and a little four legged chaos. Time to fill that void! Corinne has a very flexible schedule at the moment, while Aaron is working from 7am to 5:30pm, Monday to Friday. We live active lifestyles but also balance that out with relaxing at home. 4th Floor apartment with a balcony, no pets but two loving humans who love the great outdoors and will provide any dogs needs inside and out.
“Thank you so much to Lyndsie and Dierk! I received regular updates of their time together. He was regularly walked and well cared for. My place was left clean and tidy and could tell my pup was happy! Highly recommend!!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Banff is $53
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Banff
We truly could not have asked for a better sitter for our sweet Poppy during our wedding week in Banff! From the moment they met, Poppy absolutely fell in love with her, and that alone gave us so much peace of mind. She is one of the sweetest, kindest people you’ll ever meet and treated Poppy like she was her own. She was always incredibly prompt - in fact, she consistently arrived early and was so reliable throughout the busiest week of our lives. She kept us updated, was so attentive to Poppy’s needs, and made it possible for us to fully enjoy our wedding knowing our girl was in the best hands. Poppy is usually pretty selective about people, but she absolutely adored her, and it was obvious the feeling was mutual. Seeing how excited Poppy was every time she arrived melted our hearts. She went above and beyond in every way, and we are so incredibly grateful we found her. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, dependable, loving, and will care for your pet as if they were family, stop searching and book her. We would choose her again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our little Poppy. You were such a special part of our wedding week! We love you Valerie!!
Sarah was amazing ! I have a cat who takes two different medications daily and she was confident, comfortable and had zero issues handling these challenges. I was very limited on service but we communicated when we could and I was very appreciative of her service. She took away any stress I had of leaving my pet behind. Highly suggest Sarah to take care of your pet 🫶🏻
Alex was such a great sitter for my dogs when I was visiting Banff last week. She was kind, personable, and loved giving the dogs the attention and love while my family was away doing things during our visit. Alex's mom was visiting and also joined and was just as kind. Big THANKS to both of them for helping make our time in Banff memorable and giving us the peace of mind while we experienced Banff. Thank you Alex and Terra!!
This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous on how Shadow would be with a new person. Madison was willing to meet us a few days before to do a meet and greet with Shadow. Madison messaged me upon arrival to let me know Shadow was doing well and kept in touch. I was happy to hear that Shadow was in good hands.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Banff 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!
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 Banff 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 Banff 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, a background 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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.
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 .
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.
