About: Couple of gals that love hiking and biking especially with pooches. Our dog has just recently gone to stay with her dog Dad for the winter and we are happy to open our home for dog snuggles as we are missing our four legged friend. Lots of experience as we both had rescues in the past that came with their quirks and spent a lot of time dog training. Love to be outside or even lazy days on the couch if that’s what your pooch prefers. Happy to accommodate for all shapes and sizes and energy levels. Even happy with the quirky ones. We would be caring for you dog/cat as a team, our schedules are varied between day and evening shifts so between the two of us they would get a lot of care and attention. We have a big fenced yard. Available space if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate. Three people in the house so usually someone around to keep them company, dog would be unattended for maximum 4 hours. We love to hike, run, bike and cross country ski so plenty of opportunity for adventure.
About: Helping your pets living their best life! I’m experienced with big size dogs, elder animals, giving medication if needed. I have my pet first aid course. But most of all, I’m a pet sitter that cares a lot about your pet’s well being and will adapt to all level of energy! I work evening shifts at Island Lake Lodge so my calendar is very flexible for walking your dog at mid day during the work days. For pet sitting, this season I’ll be working 8h/day except Wednesdays & Thursdays so I won’t be able to be full time with your pet at home. I walk dogs & do pet sitting within Fernie only. Always one dog at a time (or multiple dogs if they are from the same household). I also take care of cats & other pets and will give them all the love they deserve!

David was fantastic with our two cats. He brought treats and scheduled a meet and greet to get to know them and they were immediately comfortable with him. He sent lots of pics/videos of each visit and even cleaned up a broken plant from one of the menances whild we were away. Great service!

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 .

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
