“I am a new resident of the Northern Okanagan and prior to relocating when I would have a few days away from home I had family close by who would care for my cats, Norman and Lester. As typical when it is something new - I was excited that I found Debbie, but still a bit anxious at leaving the “boys” for an extended number of days. Well, I had nothing at all to worry about and I knew everything would be great when I met with the sitter and the cats came right over for hellos and pets. The daily snaps of both cats - looking at her as though they were looking at me - and being outside - which - thank you so much - was over and beyond what I had asked for and expected. I’ve been home an hour and both cats don’t care - they’ve had their attention needs taken care of by Debbie and I guess I’ll be the favourite again once the food dish is empty! Thank you so much Debbie for being so great!”
About: Hi! My name is Natasha and I’ve taken care of animals for most of my life. I’m experienced in handling pets of all sizes and ages. Whether you have a puppy who needs a playdate or a senior cat who just needs a bit of company, I’m happy to help! I work part time and my hours are fairly flexible, so I’m available during most times of the day. I can do half an hour or hour long visits, whatever your pet needs! For drop in visits, I can travel anywhere from Vernon to Salmon Arm. I have lots of experience with cats and dogs, and I’m comfortable with exotic pets as well.
“An absolutely fabulous cat sitter! Carly was great and I got regular updates showing that my kitty was thoroughly entertained. So happy to have met Carly and will be asking her for cat sitting during all my travels!”
About: I was raised on a farm with everything from chickens to giant Kangal dogs. Animal care has been a big part of my life. Both of my own dogs I have rescued and hand fed from birth. I have experience caring for reptiles, cats, puppies, large/small dog breeds and rabbits. I’ve spent the last few years caring for Armstrong friends’ and families’ farm animals and pets and I would love to do the same for you! I am available early mornings and evenings to help care for your furry friend. I can do walking lengths depending on your dog’s energy expenditure needs. I try to stick to the exact same routine that the pet(s) are used to from their owner (ie. direction of walks and walking style). I find this makes the animal the most comfortable with me and more likely to enjoy my company.
About: I have been a dog and cat owner for 25+ years. I currently have two cats of my own and understand the importance on checking in on them when you are away! I can provide cuddles, playing, litter-box changes etc. to make them feel comfortable. I have an active lifestyle and can keep your dog entertained and healthy throughout walks, runs, cuddling, and brushing. I have most experience with larger dogs (golden retrievers and huskies for example), but also am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I understand the importance of building a relationship of trust with dogs and how to make sure they feel loved as well. I look forward to making some new furry friends! I work part-time and am mostly available in the evenings + weekends. Please message me for more details. My schedule posted is up to date. I am currently not offering pet sitting in my own home. I care for pets by frequent bathroom breaks, brushing, playing and cuddling of course.
About: The dog skill of staying aware of my surroundings has taught me everything I need to know to continue living a stress free life with my dog. All dogs are different and I can show them a comfortable attitude while providing some healthy exercise. My schedule is open to fit your needs at the moment and I can commute near my home quickly in a car for emergencies. Since we live in a tough environment I will come prepared for the weather appropriately. I usually take my dog out 3 to 4 times per day which includes picking up poop and learning of basic tricks. She is 5 but strong as labradors are because of their size.
About: I’ve prepared meals for dogs who have sensitive stomachs & dietary restrictions. After meeting with the dog I will individualize the dogs care plan to the what they need. I’m currently working full time however I’m available in the mornings, evenings & full time on the weekends. Will also come and check on the animal on my breaks. I will love on your pooch with everything I have. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I wish I could have a dog of my own, but due to frequent traveling, it’s sadly not the right time for me.
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I’m passionate about providing reliable, loving, and personalized pet care. I’ve supported families by walking, feeding, grooming, and supervising their pets in a safe and positive environment. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special routines. I focus on building trust with every animal and creating a calm, supportive experience. I pride myself on strong communication and dependability, sending regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in great hands. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a nursing student and paramedic, I’m organized, reliable, and used to managing responsibility. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet gets consistent attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and always prioritize your pet’s needs while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment with close supervision at all times. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and routines exactly as requested. With my healthcare background, I’m trained to stay calm in emergencies and recognize early signs of illness or stress. I treat every pet like family.

There are 104 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Armstrong. About 84% of Armstrong 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 Armstrong 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 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!
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.
