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 been caring for animals my whole life I've had 2 dogs and 2 cats since I was 10, so I grew up learning how to read animal body language, handle feeding and medication routines, and give pets the attention they need to feel safe and happy. I'm also comfortable with pets at every life stage. I have the patience for puppies who are still learning manners and need consistent, gentle guidance, and I understand that senior dogs often need slower walks. I’m reliable, I communicate clearly with owners, and I treat every pet like they're my own — because I know how much they mean to you. I am work Thursday to Monday starting at 9am and finishing anywhere from 3-5pm so anytime around that works. I’m free all day Tuesday wednesday I know how important it is for pets to stay in their own environment, so I come to them. I follow your routine as closely as possible — same feeding times, same food, same walking schedule, same bedtime — because consistency keeps pets calm, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away. I’m comfortable working with all pets of all sizes and personalities
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life. I’ve had a cat for as long as I can remember, and I also grew up with a German Shepherd who we got when I was about 6 years old. I currently have a little sausage dog called Toast, who I’ve had for about 4 years now! I work Monday to Thursday from around 9am to 4:30–5pm, so I’m generally free on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, as well as evenings during the week. Outside of work and the gym, I have a pretty flexible schedule and can plan my time around your pet’s needs. My main priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable and well looked after. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible, keep an eye on their behaviour and wellbeing, and stay on top of things like walks, potty breaks, feeding and fresh water. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and playtime, while respecting their personality and boundaries. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure their environment is safe and secure.
“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: I was a dog walker for a year back in Victoria and worked at a doggy day care for another 6 months :) I absolutely love dogs and love spending time with them. I guarantee you pup will come home tired and happy 😃 I recently returned from travelling and looking for part time work. My schedule is really open, I’m available for dog sitting and dog walks all days, most evenings and most weekends! I would care for your pet and home as if they were my own. Of course I would follow all your given instructions and guidelines and make sure your pet is loved and well cared for!
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.
About: Hi there! I’m Maria, a Polish marketing professional in my thirties with a passion for travel and a huge heart for animals. If you’re looking for someone who combines responsibility with genuine, experienced animal care, I’d love to help! Why I’m your perfect sitter: - I don’t just "like" animals. I’ve dedicated my time to running a foster home for dogs and spent months volounteering at local shelters and cat sanctuaries. This has given me hands-on experience with different temperaments and training needs. I know how to handle the unexpected! - Cat mom at heart: I’m the proud owner of two wonderful "cat-daughters," Aster and Dalia. I understand that cats are family and require their own specific brand of love, space, and attention to detail. - A petsitting pro - I regularly do petsitting for friends, family, and new acquaintances and I have been petsitting across Canada for the past three months on the Trusted Housesitters platform. Whether it’s long walks, administering meds, or just providing some quiet company, I take the job seriously. - Reliable and trustworthy - I've been working in corporate environment for 10 years now and seven years in legal marketing field. I'm reliable, organized, communicative, and detail-oriented. I’m calm individual awho enjoys quiet evenings with movie, so your home will be kept in pristine condition. What you can expect: I’m happy to provide references from my current employer, previous pet owners, and home-exchange partners to ensure you feel 100% comfortable. I’m fluent in Polish and English and have lived in England, Poland and visited over 40 countries. I thrive in international environments, I'm open minded and tolerant, respectful of others' cukture, preferences and habits. Communication will always be smooth and frequent (with plenty of photo updates of your pets). I work full time job in Lake Louise now but I’m happy to take your dog on walks in the morning and evening or on my free days. I can also host cats and dogs at my place, provided they can stay by themselves up to 7 hours. My experience with animals goes beyond feeding and walking. Having run a foster home for dogs, I have experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and temperaments - from full of energy pups needing structure to shy, traumatized rescues requiring immense patience and a calm presence. I am comfortable with leash training, basic commands, and the specific routines that keep a dog feeling secure. My expertise includes: - Specialized cat care: As a proud carer of two cats, Aster and Dalia, I am an expert in cat caring. I’m meticulous about litter box hygiene, interactive play to prevent boredom, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health. - Medical and senior care: I am experienced in administering oral medications and following strict dietary requirements. I understand that senior pets or those with health issues need a gentler, more observant touch. I am also comfortable with washing and syringe medication injections. - Calm energy for anxious pets: Because I am naturally a calm person, I find that anxious or nervous animals tend to bond with me quickly. I provide a low-stress environment where they can feel at ease. - Security and communication: Coming from a professional background in marketing for law firms, I am highly organized. I respect your privacy, follow all security protocols (alarms, locks), and will provide you with regular, high-quality photo updates so you can see how happy your pets are. I am happy to provide glowing references from my current employer, previous homeowners, and animal rescue organizations upon request.
“Erin was terrific. She communicated well, took care of Koda and our home very well ... everything was tidy and it great shape upon our return. She sent us some photos each day we were away. We would use Erin's services again.”

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 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
