“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!”
“Sorata did an excellent job of house sitting our two dogs and two cats. He was very conscientious and gave detailed reports and photos of each days activities. The animals responded very well to him. He replied to any communication quickly and clearly. We recommend him highly and will definitely book him again.”
“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.”
About: I’m a proud dog owner of a 130-lb Bernese Mountain Dog, so I know what it takes to care for big, lovable pups! I bring that same patience, attention, and care to every pet I watch—whether it’s a playful puppy or a gentle senior. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my day. Just let me know what works best for you, and I’ll be happy to make it happen! I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. My dog, Pepe, is a gentle 130-lb Bernese Mountain Dog who loves making new friends and helps other pets feel comfortable and social. I always make sure pets are safe, supervised, and happy—whether we’re relaxing at home or out for a walk.
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 am free in the evenings and weekends (Saturday/sunday). I work m-f but get generous lunches so can pop in for visits or go on small walks during the week days. 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!
“So glad we found Andrea! Our rescue dogs are used to being with us 24/7 on our farm. They immediately felt comfortable with Andrea. She has kept their schedules, so they are happy. Sent us pics so we can see their smiling faces. Such a relief!”
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!
“Sara is awesome! She is a very conscientious and kind person and our dog took to her right away. Great communication while we were away and she sent some photos to us every day. I felt totally comfortable that our dog and home were well cared for while we were gone. We already have her booked for our next trip!”
“Dionne was excellent with our girls ❤️ I was able to relax while away knowing they were in such great care. Dogs were happy when we got home, house looked great. Will definitely be reaching out for care again in the future!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend this dog sitter! Affordable, understanding, and so easy to communicate with. They took amazing care of our dogs, Chico and Jack, during our wedding in Canmore, where we couldn’t leave the dogs unattended. They gave both dogs lots of love and snuggles and even took them on separate walks. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands while we enjoyed our wedding day. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Chico and Jack! ❤️🐾”
About: I’ve grown up having a family dog. I helped trained my last dog and took care of him in his senior years.I have a super active lifestyle and enjoy getting out for walks all the time. I have a pretty flexible job so often working from home or able to be home every couple hours. I’m very active and enjoy walks & hikes. I live in a condo with a nice balcony. There are lots of parks & waterfront nearby. I do not have an animal of my own.
“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.”
About: I have always had a special connection to animals. I have lots of experience with large to small dogs. I love going on multiple walks with the pups as well as taking them on hikes out to the mountains (if that is something you wish). I have no problem taking them to a dog park as I have an suv. I will send updates on your animals with pictures and videos. I myself have a cat so I have a lot of experience with felines as well. You can count on me to give your fur babes the best love,attention, cuddles and care. If you would like me to stay at your home overnight I will treat it as my own and make sure to leave it in pristine condition. I look forwards to meeting you and making new furry friends.

I have five years of experience volunteering at AARCS animal shelter with dogs of all shapes and sizes. At the animal shelter I feed walk and cuddle with some less fortunate dogs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Canmore
Coleen took fantastic care of our dog Shabba (as well as a few other critters in the house). She was responsive leading up to her stay at our house, and communicated with us regularly while we were away. The house was clean and tidy when we returned. Would definitely recommend Coleen for your pet sitting!
Would definitely recommend Chyvonne. She was responsive to our original request and on top of organizing the stay with our dog. She provided updates and pictures which provided us peace of mind. House was just as clean as how we had left it. Was a great experience.
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.
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!!
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 of House Sitting in Canmore is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $85 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 66 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Canmore. About 85% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.
Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
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.
<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 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, 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.
