“We were visiting Banff for the Banff Half Marathon and Jasmine was so accommodating to watch Taiga (2 year old goldendoodle) while we were running. Great communication and very punctual. I would highly recommend Jasmine!”
“Sarah did a great job looking after our two cats while we were away for a night. She fed, provided water, cleaned, played with the cats and sent photos of the visits. We appreciated the communication and willingness as we provided short notice.”
“Amazing ! Great communication with lots of updates and pics. Our usually traumatized pup warmed up to her almost instantly—which says everything. Jingxi clearly gives so much care and attention. Highly recommend and would 100% book again!”
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: Big or small, shy or social, reactive or dependent. I respect your animal for who they are and appreciate them for it. I have walking experience with all types and have house sat for many. With a full time job in hospitality, I offer all services on my days off which are Monday and Tuesday. I am consistently available *Sunday afternoon/evenings* and *Wednesday mornings*. Let me know your expectations of a dog walker and/or sitter. (Cat sitter as well). I’m adaptive, understanding and a trustworthy independent worker. If I’m taking care of your pet(s) my attention will be with them. Brushing them during down time to playing until they are ready for a lay down.
“Valerie was amazing! I requested very last minute to have her come to our campsite and potty our dogs a couple of times in a day. She was super quick to respond, flexible and communicative. We really appreciated her taking care of our fur babies so we could enjoy the beauty of Banff!”
About: I am a dog lover who also loves travel therefore don’t currently have one. Looking forward to meet yours! I am very active, affectionate and responsible. I have owned 2 dogs (Germand Sheperd and Golden Retriever/ Aussie Shep) , grew up looking after my family friend’s dogs and have lived with many other dogs. Happy to play, pet, feed, cuddle, walk, run and anything else that would make your furry friend happy! Funny fact; I sometimes go to the dog park just to hang out with dogs... I mostly have experience with medium/bigger sizes dogs but I have also lived with small dogs and cats. I am so excited to live in such a dog friendly place and can’t wait to meet more dogs :) I am currently off work therefore I will have plenty of time to spend with your dog and to go on adventures whether it be walking, running or the dog park I will follow whatever protocols you have in place in order to ensure your pet’s happiness and safety. Just let me know your preferences :)
“We have a highly anxious 6 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback and Harmony was our first Rover experience. We couldn't have picked a better person for the job. She was fantastic from beginning to end. We could tell right away she is experienced with anxious dogs and we felt instantly at ease that our girl was in good hands. She is a lovely human who I would love to have in my home and take care of our Charlotte any time. Thank you for your patience and kind heart, Harmony!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Banff
We had a wonderful experience with our cat sitter. She took excellent care of our cat, making sure he was well fed and always had fresh water. She was kind, patient, and reassuring, helping him feel comfortable while we were away. She also sent us photos every day, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how well he was doing. We really appreciated her care, reliability, and communication, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Banff on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 68 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Banff. About 92% of Banff sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Banff stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
