“We appreciate you taking care of Apple while we visit the Banff Gondola in the morning. The location was great and conveniently close to our hotel. We also appreciated the quick update on Apple after we dropped her off.”
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with anyone other than family and I was just a little apprehensive but the moment I met Stephanie, I felt completely at ease and out Goldens felt right at home right away. She and Robert took great care of them, took them for outdoor play and they even left with a special treat! 100 percent recommend trusting them with your dogs and we will abyreach out again in the future! Thanks so much to both of you.”
“My dog loves going at Laura’s! As always, Laura is attentive to her needs and made sure she had a good time, lots of walks and cuddles. Can’t recommend enough this lovely home for keeping my baby safe. Thanks Laura !”
“David and Candace were so great! They took my dog on very short notice, which I really appreciated. They kept me updated while I was away. I picked up a happy, tired dog, always the best sign of a great stay. I’d definitely book with them again!”

“Booked our two dogs for two days. When we went to drop the dogs off for the second day they were very excited to return. Alex was great with them and both our pups seemed to genuinely enjoy their time with her.”
“Stacey and her husband took such wonderful care of our puppies! We’re so grateful we found them and wouldn’t hesitate to bring our pups back the next time we need a sitter in the area. Our puppies were clearly spoiled with love and attention, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away from them. We highly recommend Stacey and her husband!”

Sarah is AMAZING. My husband and I were attending a wedding. We are from out-of-town and she was so accomodating. She came and picked up our little dachshund, took her for walks, and let her pup play with our pup. She constantly sent us updates and photos. We feel so grateful to have found someone to love and care for our pup as much as we do.
Both David and Candice took great care of Kiya. Allowing us to take our kids on adventures throughout both days of our trip. They were very flexible with our schedule. The communication was excellent and they even helped me with using the app for the first time. They were very patient and helped Kiya build trust. They provided us updates with photos during her visit. Thank you so much! Highly recommend.
Jessica treated our dog Fudge like a king. We had never left him with another person before this weekend. After texting and talking in person with Jessica with felt completely comfortable leaving Fudge in her care. I was not distracted or worried while we were participating in the Canmore/Banff bridge tournament.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Canmore on Rover is $53.5 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 24 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Canmore. About 95% of Canmore 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.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Canmore commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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 dog, 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AB ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
