“We went on vacation and found Marie on Rover. She came over and met with us and our dog Tank. It was an easy fit and left her with Tank for almost 2 weeks. When we returned the house looked like nobody even stayed there. Our place was clean and our dog was happy. What else could you ask for? Great experience and we could not be happier - Merci Marie!”
About: Experienced dog-sitters from London, UK. Looked after two dogs loyally for 3.5yrs: day care, boarding and little holidays. My husband & I have moved to Canada last year and were missing our doggo-time so we set ourselves up on Rover. We now have vast experience of looking after new dogs (often on holiday), for single days, or up to a week. We are quick to bond and patient to understand your dog. We will give them the care, entertainment and exercise they need to have a great day 'away from the parents'! I work 100% remotely as an environmental sustainability consultant; my husband works as a mountain guide in the Rockies. We lead active lifestyles, but also love relaxing at home. Our building is pet-friendly, and we have a mini dog park outside. We have hard flooring throughout our flat but we would be happy to lay down additional rugs if required, depending on your pet's preferences. We don't have any stairs.
“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.”
“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!”
“Booked with Jasmine again, and she came through again! She took great care of our dog and cat and they were excited to hangout with her. Great updates and never doubted that they were cared. Definitely recommend”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and have plenty of experience caring for both large and small breeds. From daily walks and playtime to feeding and general care, I’m comfortable meeting a variety of pets needs🐶 I also have experience looking after cats and am happy to care for all kinds of animals. While I’m unable to host pets in my own home, I’m more than happy to provide house sitting while away or busy at work, ensuring your pets stay happy, entertained, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I’m flexible with scheduling but mainly have Fridays And Saturdays off work and always aim to accommodate your pet’s routine and specific requirements. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to send me a message!💛 I currently work at the Banff gondola as a supervisor and always have guaranteedFridays and Saturdays off work, great to look after pets while away. I make sure whatever the owners standards are for looking after their pets that I’ll match it to make everyone feel comfortable and not worried
“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!!”
“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!!”
“Andreea was awesome! Sent regular updates and photos and went above and beyond every step of the way. Came home to a happy kitty and everything in tip top shape. Thank you!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have a beautiful 5-year-old Border Collie of my own, so I understand just how much love, attention, and care pets need. I also know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby behind when you travel, which is why I genuinely enjoy helping other pet owners feel at ease while they’re away. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and hobby farm animals, including chickens and donkeys. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well loved in their familiar environment. Since I work remotely, I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pets and provide consistent care, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I work remotely full-time. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent care, companionship, and supervision. I structure my schedule to include regular walks, feeding times, play, and check-ins, while also being present for any needs that come up during the day. I’m used to building my routine around animals — whether that’s morning and evening walks, maintaining feeding schedules, or simply being there to provide comfort and attention. Because I’m not away for long periods, your pet gets plenty of interaction and a calm, stable environment while you’re gone. In a client's home, my priority is maintaining your pet's established routine to make my stay as seamless and stress-free as possible. I provide consistent companionship, affection, and attentive care tailored to their unique needs. Because I work remotely, I am home throughout the day, ensuring your pets are never lonely and their schedules are kept on track. I am experienced in caring for animals at all life stages, from energetic puppies to senior pets with specific medical and mobility needs. I have looked after a senior Lab who needed to be carried in and out of the home for potty breaks and outdoor time, as well as a senior Yorkie who required regular eye drops and supervised feeding times. I am very comfortable administering medication and providing the extra physical support senior pets often need. I believe in clear communication and will always send regular updates and photos so you can have total peace of mind knowing your furry family members are receiving dedicated, compassionate, and expert care.
“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.”

“Jay was literally the best pet/house sitter ever! I think our dog might actually prefer him over us now! Jay was so attentive, went above and beyond and was extremely accommodating especially as we booked him last minute! Thank you again Jay! We will absolutely be using Jay again in the future!!”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Canmore
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 60 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.
