“Chyvonne did an excellent job. She was very responsive from our initial contact and followed instructions well. She clearly loves animals and respected our home which was left very clean and orderly. She is kind, reliable and mature. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Evelyn was on time and lovely. She sat out two senior dogs in our trailer while we rode the gondola in Banff and had dinner at the top of the mountain. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Our very first time using Rover in a super last minute pinch and we couldn’t be happier with Dionne helping us out! She replied fast on a late evening and was able to accommodate our two pups the very next afternoon. Our Doxie can have really bad separation anxiety and Dionne’s calm presence kept her cool and calm. I could tell when we pick her up that she didn’t feel stressed or anxious with us away!! Such a nice feeling and successful first stay with Dionne! The pictures of the pups relaxing with her helped ease any anxiety knowing they were happy and cared for. We would definitely rebook with Dionne again! 10/10”
“Sara always takes good care of our little girl and stepped up to help with our new Tortoise. She always leaves our home as she found it and leaves our pupper calmer then when we left.”
“Andrea was so wonderful with William. She is great at sending pictures and letting us know how things are going. She was very flexible and patient with our schedule. We are so very impressed, we highly recommend her, and will definitely be using her again.”

“Lucie was great with my dogs, they can be a handful, so it was nice to have someone come and stay in my home with them. She sent photos and updates throughout the weekend. And I came home to happy dogs and a clean house!”
About: 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.
“Marketa was great. She accommodated us with a last minute request and took a load of stress off. We were able to enjoy the wedding and reception without worrying about our beloved dog Henry. He was in good hands with Marketa and she even sent me pics and updates putting my mind at ease. I highly recommend her if in Canmore.”

“Our shy pup warmed up quickly with Morgan. She was a great communicator, kind, and caring with our dog. She also took great care of our home. We would recommend her to friends and will definitely ask her to watch our puppy and house again!”
“Andrea was wonderful with our dogs, which are both seniors. She went above and beyond taking care of them and treated them like her own dogs. She also took great care of our chickens and bunnies! We could not have asked for a better petsitter! She was reliable and conscientious and I would book her again any time.”
“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!!”
About: I’ve been around animals since I was very young.Being around animals is when I’m most happy and now have a golden and a two cats of my own! I have my first aid training for pets, can administer certain medications and volunteer at multiple different animal rescues which not only has allowed me to give back but also gain incredible skills at handling all sorts of animals! I have experience with different pet personalities, sizes, behaviour etc. Our time can either be spent lazing around the house and snuggling or going on amazing adventures here in the mountains! If it says I am available that date , it means I am at home all day/night so your pup will not be left alone. I have a golden retriever and two cats in my home which are all trained and incredibly friendly. I have two dog parks at walking distance of my home and a stream for swimming in the summer. I have a safe environment for pets to roam free inside , but also have an XL crate and a medium crate if owner prefers, or if in process of crate training. Pets are always fed separately and have cameras in my home if I do need to step out of the house or if a pet is at home while I work. My priority is to make your pet feel comfortable and be safe , but also have fun!
“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!!”
“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!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Canmore
Je suis très agréablement satisfaite de Evelyn. She is very sweet with my dog Maya. It was the first Time that I have use the service from Rober. I am truly very satisfied. She took for a walk 3 times. She reassured Maya. She has a very good expérience with dogs. When she arrived she immediately paddle Maya. She was super, extra and impressive.
Marketa was great. She accommodated us with a last minute request and took a load of stress off. We were able to enjoy the wedding and reception without worrying about our beloved dog Henry. He was in good hands with Marketa and she even sent me pics and updates putting my mind at ease. I highly recommend her if in Canmore.
Chyvonne did an excellent job. She was very responsive from our initial contact and followed instructions well. She clearly loves animals and respected our home which was left very clean and orderly. She is kind, reliable and mature. Will definitely use her services again.
Jessica was amazing!!! She took care of my 2 dogs while we were away and they were in very good hands. She walked them and took care of them like her own. One night my one dog got sick and she took very good care of him while keeping me updated until he was better.
Laura was a great sitter for our dog, Kygo, while we were out of town. She communicated so well both before and during and we were totally comfortable leaving Kygo in her care. We received lots of updates and photos and could see how much fun they had together! We came back to a perfectly looked after home and dog.
Stephanie and Robert took such amazing care of our little baby, Lola, the night of our wedding in Canmore. We did a meet and greet before and knew we could trust them with Lola. We were able to enjoy the night of our wedding without worrying about Lola and will definitely use Stephanie and Robert again in the future!!
Mary is so wonderful with our dog Koda. We had never used Rover before so I was really nervous leaving our house and dog with someone we didn't know. Mary was super professional, organized, very clean and made me feel more at ease to head out on our vacation. And our dog loves her.
Robyn was amazing. She watched our three dogs for a week and we felt confident in the love and attention she showed each of them. We have one dog with behavioral issues, one with medical issues and one that is normal but very active. She did amazingly meeting the needs of each of them and keeping us up to date. When we arrived back home she had even washed the sheets, totally unnecessary but very much appreciated. The house was also spotless - which is impressive with three shedding dogs!! We’d recommend Robyn in a heartbeat!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Canmore on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 59 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Canmore. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Canmore 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.
Tip: 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 Canmore 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 Canmore 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, identity 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.
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.
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.
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.
