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.
“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.”
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 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
“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!”

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.

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!
