“Ofer was AMAZING!! He looked after my 3 cats with so much love and care. I didn't have to worry at all about them whilst I was away. He sent great updates and photos each visit and left the house spotless. He even won my super shy cat over which is no mean feat! Recommend 100%!!”
“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”
About: Looking for a safe, calm and personal alternative to a busy doggy daycare or boarding? I offer one-on-one care for one dog at a time, so your best friend gets my full attention and doesn’t have to share their space with other dogs. I’m accepting only small breeds. I have 20 years experience running my own successful client-based business, with more than 100 regular clients. My clients valued my service so much that many booked a year in advance. I bring that same level of care , reliability and personal attention to looking after your dog. I am now retired so have plenty of time to care for dogs in my home. I am home most of the time so your dog will not be left alone much. I can provide home visits as well. Lots of care and attention will be provided for your dog. Long walks multiple times during the day.
About: Hi everyone! I am Laura, I grew up with pets and have taken care of them my whole life. I myself own a cat and a dog who stayed with my parents in France. I love being in contact with animals and miss it a lot. I have a very good feeling about them! I'm used to taking care of them, petting them and taking them for walks or run sessions. I am used to all types of dogs, whether they are active, energetic, couch dogs, senior or puppies... I'd be delighted to help you if you need dog or cat-sitting or dog-walking. Cheers, Laura Depending on your needs, I can take care of your dog or cat from a few hours (1+) to a whole day, just let me know what works best for you. I spend time with your pets, caring for their needs. I love going for walks with them, getting fresh air, stretching their legs and playing with them. I'm attentive to their needs (feeding, walking, hygiene...).
About: Hi, I’m Olivia—an experienced, reliable pet and house sitter who loves being in nature, with animals, making art, hiking, cycling, snorkeling and eating good food! I bring a calm, detail-oriented, and responsible approach to every sit. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away and ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Because respecting and caring, you and your animal deserve the best. I had a female Vizsla named Ruby growing up who had seemingly endless amounts of energy so I am no stranger to taking care of mid sized dogs that need to be walked multiple times a day. Living in many different areas across B.C. And now Alberta has made it hard to have an animal of my own so I would love to spend time with your fur baby. I actually have a lot of experience taking amazing care of cats as well. With little space for an animal of my own I long to help dog owners with their busy schedules and provide a helping hand to you and your dog. I will always respect your wishes and will treat your dog like family. Currently I live with two middle aged cats that belong to my house mates. I help feed them, allow them in and out of the house during the day and help bring them inside in the evenings. When their owners are away I look after them entirely including cleaning kitty litters, charging their tracking collars at night, playing with them and all mentioned above. In the past I have loved and taken care of many dogs in relationships. I love the uniqueness of different animals and helping them live their best lives. I am not able to take pets into my home but within your home I am happy to be adaptable to what you and your pet requires to feel safe and happy in your absence.
About: Hey! I’m Sarah and I am arguably the world’s biggest dog lover! I’ve grown up with dogs, and really really missed having them around when I moved to Canada from the UK 5 years ago. Because of that, I’ve been volunteering with a local, foster-based dog rescue for the past 3 years…which of course led to me adopting my own precious pup from them! I am experienced with a huge range of dog breeds, sizes and temperaments and have been fortunate enough to receive extensive behavioural and safety training whilst working with the rescue. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend soon! I currently work very flexible hours so I can be available as often as required to help you out with your pups scheduling needs. Walks, drop-in visits or home stays - you name it and I can make it work for you! My pet friendly home has a wonderful, resident pup to keep your four-legged friend company. We’re comfortable if you’re comfortable - crate or no crate, on leash walks or dog parks, it’s totally up to you!
About: As lifelong dog lovers, we are excited to provide a safe, caring, and welcoming home environment for your pets while you are away. Pet care allows us to combine something we genuinely enjoy with the opportunity to save for future family travel adventures. We have been pet sitting in our home for over 18 years with over 8 years on the Rover app. Our household currently includes our 17-year-old daughter, who shares our love of animals and assists with pet care responsibilities. As my husband works away for extended periods, my daughter and I are the primary caregivers for the dogs staying in our home, ensuring they receive consistent attention, exercise, companionship, and supervision. We have experience caring for a wide variety of breeds and sizes, from small companion breeds such as Pugs to giant breeds such as St. Bernards. Our family owned a Black Lab/Golden Retriever cross for nine years, and we currently share our home with a medium-sized mixed breed dog and an indoor cat. Our home setup allows us to comfortably separate our cat from visiting dogs if needed. Our experience includes: • Daily dog walking and exercise routines • Caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs • Administering oral medications • Monitoring pets for changes in behaviour, appetite, or activity level • Providing companionship, enrichment, and individualized care based on each dog's needs • Experience handling dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments For the safety and comfort of all pets in our care, we ask that dogs staying in our home are friendly, non-aggressive, and comfortable around other animals and people. We do not have breed preferences and are happy to care for dogs of all sizes and backgrounds, provided they are a good fit for our home environment. We understand that every dog has unique needs and personalities, and we strive to provide the same level of care, attention, and affection that we would want for our own pets. We look forward to welcoming your furry family member into our home and providing them with exceptional care, plenty of exercise, and lots of affection while you are away I currently work full time in Canmore. I have an hour off for lunch that I head home for. My 16 year old is home all day during the summer and after school during the school year. I have a large fenced yard with a very friendly dog that LOVES to play. Kids and I enjoy being outside as well ether in our green house or just enjoying life in the mountains.
“Valerie was amazing! I requested very last minute to have her come to our campsite and potty our dogs a couple of times in a day. She was super quick to respond, flexible and communicative. We really appreciated her taking care of our fur babies so we could enjoy the beauty of Banff!”
“Sara was excellent to work with! She gave great communication throughout the day, with lots of pics - which helped us feel secure - knowing our pup was being well cared for. We look forward to our next outing and having you in our home with Molly. Thanks so much Sara!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Canmore
I truly don’t think there is a better dog sitter in Canmore. Nicola was nothing but helpful from the first time I reached out. We were camping in Canmore and had to fly home for a funeral. We had never left 2 of our 3 dogs before. Nicola came to meet them ahead of time and followed our many directions perfectly. We had a senior dog who is so shy and anxious around new people and Nicola was so patient with her and won her over. Our 7 year old dog was extremely anxious and Nicola tried everything to get her to eat-went so far above her job description. She also gave her the meds we requested. And we also had my sister’s 6 month old puppy-who of course had tummy problems when we left. Nicola handled everything we threw her way so well. She gave us updates after each visits. Her daughter even got Lily to eat when I thought it was lost cause. And when we had major flight delays, Nicola was willing to be “on-call” for the dogs the next morning. You can tell Nicola really cares and she does such a great job. Too bad we don’t live here-we would love to use her services again!
