“Alara was amazing with our dog Sammy! Sammy is a very anxious dog and Alara has a very calming demeanour and Sammy reacted very positively to her. She took him for walks every day and sent us many pictures. We were gone 10 days and I was concerned as we had never left him with someone he doesn’t know. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Alara stay with Sammy again!! 5 ⭐️ for sure!!”
“This was our first time meeting Christina and having her stay overnight with Bean. Christina has a very calm energy and clearly loves animals. 10/10 good with communication, responsible, reliable, and "go with the flow" attitude. Will 100% book again.”

About: I’ve owned an animal ever since I can remember. From 220lbs dogs to 2lb rats I’m confident with all breeds and sizes. I’ve have multiple cats and dogs along with training puppies. I currently own a 6 lb red footed tortoise giving me knowledge to help care for reptiles and small animals. I currently work part time in Vernon but have multiple breaks throughout the day to pop home and care for your pet. I am looking to provide people with care and relief knowing there pet is safe while they are out adventuring Each animal is different, some want space while others don’t know what space is. Knowing that helps provide pets with the comfort in their own home having new people there. I am quiet and calm and work my hardest to provide everything to my animals.
About: Hi, I’m Holly! I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life, and my love for them runs deep. Over the years, I’ve studied and learned about animal behaviors, which has shaped my compassionate and sensitive approach to their care. A special rescue dog taught me so much about understanding animals, reinforcing my belief in the power of positive reinforcement—because it truly works. With hands-on experience from working in a doggy daycare, I’ve interacted with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, making me well-equipped to provide individualized care. As an ultra runner, I have the stamina and energy to take your pets on frequent long walks or runs, customized to their specific needs. Whether your pet enjoys a relaxed stroll or an energetic run, I’ll ensure they get the perfect balance of exercise, along with plenty of attention and affection. I’m committed to treating your pets like family, respecting your preferences, and providing regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m here to give them the love and care they deserve. I currently work remotely and have lots of flexibility to care for your pet, including taking them for frequent walks and runs. I’m also available on weekends and holidays. I have experience working with animals and provide compassionate, attentive care. I prioritize your pet’s well-being and take a positive, personalized approach to meet their individual needs. Your dog will receive plenty of love, attention, and exercise to ensure they feel happy and secure.
About: 🐾 What Sets Me Apart 🐾 I have had pets my whole life. Since I was a young child. We always had dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters and fish. I loved taking care of them but since getting older I have not had a chance to have my own as I generally am in rentals that don't allow pets so I love to look after others when they are away. I treat every pet like my own, catering to their unique needs, routines and quirks. I am experienced & trustworthy – I have years of experience with dogs & cats of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. Clients often call me the pet whisperer as their pet comes to me willingly when they might not with others because of my calm, gentle and grounded personality. As a trauma recovery coach specializing in nervous system regulation, I create a soothing and safe environment for pets, especially anxious or rescue animals. I take your dogs on engaging walks, engage in interactive play with your pets and give mindful attention to their well-being, not just basic care. I am flexible & reliable – I work around your schedule to ensure stress-free pet care. I work from home as I am a Trauma Recovery Coach so I see my clients online. I generally help clients regulate their nervous system or give them mindfulness practices. So I am often doing meditations with them or calming sessions with them. I take breaks in between clients and go for walks so can be sure to give your pet the extra attention it needs. I generally go to your home to take care of your pet. I do have a yard with a fence right now though which is helpful.
About: I am a stay at home mom, with two small dogs of my own. My dogs love to play and are very social with all dogs big or small. We have a large fully fenced yard, and love to take walks in our neighborhood. My children and I will make sure your dog is well cared for and made to feel part of our family. I have a lot of experience with dogs and have been breeding them as well. I have a lot of experience with puppies as I have had a few liters with my dogs. I have been dog boarding for the last thirteen years and when I moved in the last year, I started with Rover. I currently only do dog boarding, so I can be at home with your dog the entire time they are staying with me. I have two adult children that live with me as well, so your dog will get lots of walks and play time. I have a fully fenced back yard for your dogs to play, as well as a huge covered deck. The dogs are allowed on my bed and furniture, the same as my dogs.
“Eva was fantastic! She took such good care of our home, our dog and two cats while we were away. We have an Australian Shepherd that needs lots of exercise and Eva took her on so many great hikes! She was sure to send us lots of picture updates of all the animals which we appreciated. They all looked so happy and content with her. The house was clean and my flower pots in great condition when we got home . We felt our animals were in very good hands and will definitely be booking her again when the time comes. If you need a responsible, caring and active pet sitter, Eva is your lady!”
“Jacqueline took amazing care of our animals and home when we were away. The photo and video updates made it very clear that the animals were so happy with her, and our house was in great shape when we got back. Absolutely coming to her next time we are in need of a sitter! Thank you so much Jacqueline!”
About: We had a beautiful Golden Retriever 2013-2025 who went everywhere with me and was never left alone. I loved being with him, caring for him and other friends pets, walking, brushing, veterinary drop offs and collections as well as caring for elderly dogs too. I love all dogs. Will be with the dogs all day in my home and we have beautiful trails right at our doorstep for quick walks or longer hikes. Happy to be slower if dogs are older or small or longer if they have lots of energy. I work from home so pets would never be left alone, I have set up my work to fit in with caring for our own pet as a priority. Have looked after our own dog and walked 4-5 times daily with shorter potty breaks and longer excercise trips for 12 years. I have no fenced yard but have a provincial park and walking trails directly at my door so walking is never a problem. My own golden retriever will go outside for a variety of mini walks and a longer walk daily or we can take the car to other parks if requested.
“This was the first time we used Chantelle's services, and we were very pleased with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. You know she was great when your dog was sad to see her leave ... lol. Thanks again Chantelle!”
About: I have 10 yrs of experience as a pet sitter in BC and abroad. I have just returned to Kelowna after a 3 yr hiatus where I traveled to 11 countries where I pet sat in 8 of them. I have great reviews and a 5 star rating from completed sits in those countries. And I have open availability starting in June of 2026. I am retired so my schedule for pet care is open and flexible. I can dedicate my services part time to full time depending on the individual needs of the pet parent's. I have always cared for people's pets in their own home. I enjoy traveling to new surroundings and take great pride in my 5 star reviews. I leave pet owners home clean and tidy and I update pet owners on any developments that should occur and reassure them that their pets are being well cared for. I use WhatsApp, email, or text to communicate with pet owners.
“I was so reluctant to use Rover but then I found Shelly! Now I’m reluctant to leave this review because I don’t want her to get too busy and not be available but she deserves a glowing reference from me. Shelly, is absolutely the best and I feel so blessed to have found her…she is experienced with all their meds, loving and reliable. I highly recommend her as a caregiver. A+++ (and I don’t leave this review lightly….I am very particular when it comes to my babies )”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Armstrong
Rover was recommended by a friend of ours as we didn’t want to kennel our 2 dogs after trying that route before. Cheyanne P, (and also Tamara), both Rover reps local near Armstrong,BC, co-helped to sit 2 Chocolate Labrador mid-aged ‘pups’ for 9 days in our home. This worked for both their schedules as they attend college classes, allowing house-sitting and multiple walks daily, taking the worry off our minds. They met our labs several days before the trip, enthusiastic and comfortable around larger dogs, asked pertinent questions and familiarized themselves with the routines & medical needs. Our dogs were so much happier within their own home/yard, compared to their kennel experience several months back. We would highly recommend either Cheyanne P or Tamara for their attitude, quality of service and care. My home looked cleaner than when we left, and doggies were content! We will be using the Rover app for future vacations for quality care of our home & fur babies. Jackie & Ken W, Armstrong BC, Canada

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Armstrong 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 Armstrong 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 Armstrong 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.
