About: I have had Boxers and Boston terriers. 2 very different breeds requiring different approaches to training and care. Whether you have a puppy which requires pee breaks and basic command training, or slower walks for a senior dog, I am familiar with both. I am an active person and looking forward to providing care to your pet as if they were my own. On a career break and looking to spend my days outside on adventures with a furry friend. Available most days of the week and can be flexible on time. Morning, day or evening, I can give your dog a walk or drop in to feed them. Life is busy and knowing that your dog is being well cared for and walked really helps ease your mind. Also if you are travelling, I know sometimes you may want to go for dinner or do activities where unfortunately our furry family members aren’t invited. I can take your dog for a few hours to let you do that. I provide attentive, individualized care based on each pet’s needs and routine. In my home and/or a client’s home, I ensure pets have fresh water, appropriate feeding schedules, regular exercise, playtime, and companionship. I follow any specific instructions regarding medications, training, dietary requirements, or behavioral needs. I keep the environment clean and safe, monitor pets for signs of illness or distress, and provide updates to owners as requested. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible.
About: I've always had dogs in my life, from tiny dachshunds to a great dane. I started a Rover account after we said goodbye to our beloved family dog, Mya, after 11.5 years of adventures together. I missed having a dog to share my love for an active mountain lifestyle with and encourage me to get outside in all types of weather. Soon after creating the account, I deactivated it to welcome a new member named Bailey to our family. Bailey is a 3 year old German Shepherd x Lab Retriever. She will be home during doggie day care so your dog should be good with other dogs. Walks can be done separately if that better suits your dog. I am comfortable with dogs of any age from puppy to senior and am regularly entrusted with caring for many friends dogs. While your dog is in my care, I'm happy to implement any training techniques you may be working on, including ecollar. If looking for full day care for your dog, and have any concerns about compatibility, please book a few days out so that our pets can have a chance to meet to ensure a good match before welcoming them into our home. I am an active person and love spending time outdoors, especially with the company of a furry friend. I currently work only 2-3 days/week, and am off throughout summer, therefore I have availability and flexibility throughout the day to play with your pup, offer pee breaks, take walks, visit dog parks, etc. Rovers availability options don’t quite accurately reflect my true windows of availability so get in touch and we will figure it out. I do have a 11 year old son so if requests are outside of school hours, there’s a chance he may be present - please let me know if your dog is not okay with children. I have a fenced yard and also live very close to 2 fenced dog parks within Canmore. I have a reliable vehicle and am willing to transport your dog to their favourite park or hike.
About: I grew up with several family pets and my wife and I currently have 2 very active Australian Shepherds. My wife and I are outdoorsy and love walking, hiking, training and playing with our dogs. I’m currently available for walking services as well as drop-in visits. If you have a fenced area, I may also be able to provide doggy playdates with one of my Aussies to give your pet some playtime! In 2024 I’m available Saturdays & Sundays (usually anytime) and Mon-Fri (only after 6pm). My days off largely revolve around time with my wife and dogs outdoors, so some extra walks/drop-ins are easy to fit into my schedule. I’m happy to do drop-in services, and offer stimulating play sessions as well as exercise to keep your pet(s) occupied while you’re absent. One of my Aussies can join for added socialization/play sessions. A meet and greet is suggested prior to our first play session to ensure the dogs are compatible.
About: My experience includes hands-on care with the SPCA, as well as volunteering at a dog sanctuary, where I cared for a wide range of dog breeds! I’ve had a rural upbringing and have grown up with dogs my whole life, so looking after them feels very natural to me 😊. I’m confident with different temperaments and focus on consistent care. I’m currently in Canmore on a working holiday visa from Scotland. I have a very flexible schedule. Working part-time in town means I’m available most days for walks and drop-ins, whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening 😊. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care! For 25 years, I have had Jack Russell Terriers, a breed known for their intense hunting drive, intelligence and energy. My current pup Dan enjoys long walks around the farm, but also loves his home comforts. I miss the companionship of a pup and would love to look after yours! I keep things simple by sticking to your pet’s usual routine. Walks are all about fresh air, exercise, and plenty of sniff time, while drop-ins include feeding, water, bathroom breaks, and some company. I make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable 💕
About: I have been pet sitting for family, friends and through pet sitting websites for many years. I absolutely love pets and am looking to fill the void of missing mine whilst living in Canada. I am currently working full time hours across 4 days per week. I work close to town and can duck home during lunch breaks if required. I am home for most of the weekends I am happy to follow and routine or structure for the pets I look after. I have one dog in the house where I live so I am unable to offer boarding boarding
About: Experienced dog-sitter from London, UK. Served two clients loyally for 3.5yrs, looking after their dogs and taking them on day-trip adventures and holidays. Have provided a variety of one-off care for multiple other clients. My husband & I have recently moved to Canada and we are missing our doggo-time! We would love a furry friend to keep us company. 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.
“Jess was absolutely incredible with Stella and made sure she was as happy as she could be the entire time I was away. Went above and beyond, would absolutely recommend Jess to anyone”
“Kathleen did an amazing job looking after our two large dogs. One can be very high energy and sometimes reactive but she was always calm and knew how to handle them. We were able to get away for the day without having to worry about our dogs which was so nice! She even washed their food bowls after they ate! Would highly recommend Kathleen and will be using her again :)”
“Ofer was fantastic and so accommodating watching our girls during our dinner out in Canmore. Very punctual, easy to communicate with and a lovable personality. It’s so clear he loves animals! Highly recommend!!”
“Élise is amazing at drop in visits and treated our dog so wonderfully. We really appreciated her dedication to walking our dog during the drop in and keeping her company while we were gone for a short time!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with experience raising large dogs, cats, snakes, and even iguanas! Active, responsible, and have a truck for safe pet transport if needed. I treat every animal like family, bringing energy, love, and care to every visit. Since I can’t have pets in my home, I’m thrilled to share my heart and time with yours! I’m an aesthetician and makeup artist in Canmore , I work 10-6 regularly with some early bridal mornings. I am able to do morning and evening walks and some throughout the day depending 😊 I’m very respectful of your space and well-versed in pet safety—fences, crates, doors, and gates are all triple-checked. I treat your home like my own. You’re never “too much” whatever you need me to do just write it out and I’ll follow it and send you many updates , videos pics etc
About: Hi!! (I also speak french) My name is Dorine, I am from Montreal but I live in Calgary now. I love cats and dogs. I always had cats since I was a little girl and since I have been in Montreal (4 years) I don't have one. I miss them very much and would love to take care of yours! About dogs, I adopted a dog last year (a pup Samoyed) I also take care of a friend's little puppy in Montreal. A little spaniel cocker - the cutest. I can also run with your dog if he/she likes to exercise. My services: I can walk/run your dog or petsit at my place (or yours if you accept that my pup comes along). If you have a cat, I can stop by your place to feed him/her and play with him/her for a bit. Time of my services: I can walk your dog from 15mins to 30mins. If you want me to walk him/her more, just contact me and we will arrange something. For cats, it is the same, I can come over for between 15mins and 30mins and if you want me to stop by more often, we can discuss it. My disponibilities: I am available everyday pretty much anytime. I am always open to discussion so let me know what works best for you and what your needs are. I walk my dog everyday (on cold days also) so taking care of one more dog is just the same. It will give some company to my pup as well! He is very friendly and loved other dogs. If that is something that you are not confortable with and don't want me to walk my dog with yours, please let me know and I will not bring my dog on the walk! At my home no dogs is allowed on furniture. They need to have their own bed. I have a crate if needed, my dog just use it as a food place.
“We really appreciate Audrey helping us out with a last minute request! Care and communication was top notch. She contacted us before entering the house and it was obvious by the photos that our Luna loved her! Thank you so much Audrey!”
About: Since I was a child, animals have always been part of my life — cats, dogs, hamsters, and fish. I’ve always enjoyed taking care of them and understanding their needs. Back in Czechia, we have two cats (one of them is mine) and a dog. Whenever other family members were away, I took full care of all the animals, making sure they are fed, exercised, and feel safe and comfortable. I’ve also pet-sat for my sister’s cat several times, handling feeding, litter care, playtime, and providing calm companionship. Unfortunately I was not able to bring my pet with me to Canada, so I am more than happy to take care of your pet! In case of cat sitting I can check up on your cat at least twice a day and provide playtime and snuggles. As for dog care and walk your dog on my days off :) I treat each animal as it is my own, so with love and respect. I am reliable and responsible and will always make sure your pet is feeling safe.
“Janine and Sybille was wonderful! They were very kind, communicative, and followed all the instructions I left for caring for my cat. I could tell she was well looked after while I was away, and it gave me a lot of peace of mind. I had asked if they could come prior to just introduce themselves and asked for something that they wore so that my cat could get used to their scent. It really helped my cat was comfortable enough to say hello rather than hide when they came. I really appreciated the updates and the thoughtful care they gave. I will definitely be rebooking with them again for any future trips.”
About: ****Important Info: I work full time during the day and usually cannot do pet care during regular work hours. If I'm boarding your pet, he/she must be comfortable being alone for up to 4 hours at a time and must not have separation anxiety (barking)**** Hi! 😊 I’m a mature, single, former dog owner and I’d love to watch your pets for you or help with walks! I’m less brave than I once was, so your pet must be friendly and easily manageable, particularly if I’m entering your home when you’re away. I love having cat / dog buddies stay with me, especially if your dog is up for weekend adventures! I trail run, xc ski and hike, so if you have an active dog, they'll come with me on fun mountain adventures! I have a full time job (8am - 5pm, M-F) and lots of fun hobbies so I don’t have a lot of extra time for dog walking, particularly during the day. But I’m reliable whenever I confirm availability. I live in a very small house with an unfenced yard shared with other pets, so your pet must not be reactive if staying with me. A bark or two is fine and expected, but if your pet has separation anxiety, my home isn't a good place for them to stay. I’m a trail runner so if your dog needs exercise I'd be happy to help!
About: I provide care , support, attention all with love. I also have a strong understanding of the needs of others, as well as the importance of safety and their nervous systems. I am flexible with the schedule of your needs, if your schedule changes based on last minute appointments, trips or any other circumstances, I will accommodate as needed . I can accommodate in your home so that your put babies and loved ones are more comfortable in their own space and in their current routines .

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Canmore
Nicola is truly wonderful! She’s responsive, friendly, and accommodating. She’s taken care of Bean on several occasions (and sometimes even on short notice). She’s attentive to our pets’ needs and keeps us well informed (with photos, details, and a completed report). Bean seemed very happy to spend time with Nicola! I recommend her without hesitation and will definitely be using her services again very soon.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Canmore on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 74 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Canmore. About 85% 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.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Canmore stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.
