“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!”
“Marie is a DELIGHT!!! You can tell she is such a sweet person that loves dogs and was so gentle and excellent with our Eloise ❤️. Communication was awesome and she even came the day before to do a meet and greet to make sure this obsessive mum was going to be ok :)”
“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: (UPDATE) Corinne is away until the 2nd of November and Aaron will be working 7-17:00 Monday to Friday, away from home. So our only availability for these few weeks is weekend and/or weeknights. 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.
“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!!”
“Andreea was absolutely wonderful! Frequent communication and she took great care of our kittens. There’s no one better to leave your pets with. Our kitties are looking forward to their next booking with her!”
“Sara helped out last minute and was super accommodating to take care of our Annie! The house was spotless when she left as well. Very grateful for services and we would love to have her back.”
“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”
“Natalia did a great job looking after all 5 of my pets! I have two special needs pets and she had no problem providing quality care to them. She took my dog for two long walks a day, played fetch with her and made sure she got lots of love. The cats got lots of love, rewards and attention. The house looked great when we returned as well. I will absolutely be booking Natalia as a sitter again in the future.”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Canmore
We had never used Rover before and were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone new, but Evelyn quickly put us at ease. We loved her approach with our dog and really appreciated how well she communicated, sending updates and photos several times a day. It gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Evelyn and would happily book her again.
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!

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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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 .
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.
