“I cannot explain how grateful I am to Anothai and Mersad for taking such great care of Tala. She was treated like a queen!! We were out of province for over a week and never had to worry about her. We will book again!!!”

“Yolanda, you were amazing babysitter for Rex. I appreciate you putting Rex first while you were looking after him. You were a great dog sitter. Dealing with you Yolanda was incredible experience, you were kind, very Understanding, accepting to all my demands. It was pleasure dealing with you.”

“I genuinely can’t say enough wonderful things about Tessa! 🥹💕 She was absolutely amazing with my dogs and treated them with so much love and care. She took them for walks, gave them so much attention, and sent me the cutest photos and updates every single day. It made me feel so comfortable and happy knowing they were safe, loved, and having the best time while I was away. She truly went above and beyond. It was also my birthday while she was watching them, and she even surprised me with a birthday gift when I picked them up, which was honestly the sweetest and most thoughtful thing ever. 🥹💗 When I picked my dogs up, they were so happy and clearly had been so well taken care of. It’s such a good feeling finding someone you completely trust with your babies, and I’m so grateful I found Tessa. She will forever be my dog sitter now! I couldn’t recommend her enough — she’s caring, thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely such a sweet person. We absolutely adore her! 🐾💕”

“Tina and Joe are exceptional. We highly recommend them and would happily entrust them with our dogs again. They cared for our peppy 3 month (43lb) puppy for 4 nights. We are new to Rover and were trepidatious about leaving our puppy with “strangers” who might not be up for the extra level of care. From the very beginning Joe and Tina exceeded our expectations. They are 100% Dog People who are calm, friendly and know what how to care for dogs of all sizes and ages. They were great with communications and really present to our pup Toby. He got lots of attention, exercise and play. It meant we were able to enjoy our own getaway without any worries. Thanks so much, Joe and Tina!”

“10⭐️!! Luke had such a great time on his vacation — I swear he didn’t want to come home! Jaeb was great with sharing daily photos of Luke’s stay, brushed him, took him for walk, played inside and out in the yard, and cared for him when he was nervous during the thunderstorm that hit. Immediately after meeting Jaeb we knew Luke was going to be in good hands, and we wouldn’t worry one bit while we were away. We will 100% be using Jaeb again in the future.”

“Sue and Claude are great. Excellent hosts and easy communication. Felt totally comfortable leaving Sparky with them. Will definitely call on them again.”

“We were so very pleased with the communication before & during our Moll’s stay at Jeanine’s. We knew the moment we arrived for a meet & greet that she would be in very good hands & treated her like her own. We are greatful that she was able to help us out. Highly recommend Jeanine as your next pet sitter.”

“Jayden was amazing! We were nervous about leaving our puppy with someone for the first time but he eased that instantly, could not recommend him enough. You can tell he really cares. Thank you so much!”

“Would recommend Kasia over and over again!!!! She was so lovely. Sent updates and pictures of baby. And made sure he was cozy and loved the whole stay with her! If you’re looking for a wonderful lady to love your baby like it’s her own! She’s your girl!!!”

“Suzanne took very good care of our senior dog, Pepper. She kept us updated with how he was doing over the weekend. She is a very nice person and I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone to take good care of their dog!”

“Chalan and Joel and their girls are THE BEST I have met thus far. And I have had experiences using sitter's across Canada due to our traveling schedules. Their house is clean. The whole family is just full of love for dogs. My baby is newly blind so it's hard for me to find anyone that'd be patient enough to take care of her. But after just 1 day, I know my worries are not necessary. My dog was pampered and spoiled. I highly recommend Chalan and her family.”

“Viktoriia was amazing with Otis! I got lots of updates and she was great with her communication. He was nice and tired from going to the beach and playing. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Carla was great! Very responsive to booking dates and coordinating times. She was great with Franki. Took him for walks and play time at the dog park near her place. We will defiantly be using her again.”

“Our dog had a great stay! Gabrielle was able to keep him cool while we were in a heat wave. She accommodated his health issues and dispensed his medications. All this while making sure he had an amazing vacation!!! Highly recommend.”

“I can’t say enough positive feedback with our experience with Katrina and her family! She sent us lots of pics and videos during his stay which was great. My Great Dane/ English Mastiff had amazing stay! He was well taken care of and given the attention he loves. He has some separation anxiety but with the kindness Katrina gave him he was right at ease. Will 💯 use Katrina again 😊”

“Skyler had a nice four nights stayed with Marcella. She is very experienced with dogs. Told he was comfortable at her home which is wonderful since it was only the second time Skyler had been away from the family. We also like that Skyler had doggie company during his stay as he likes socializing.”

“If I could give Cielo 10 stars I would. She was absolutely wonderful. This was my second time using rover and she put my anxiety to rest. Blue had a blast and was sad to leave his new friend. I will definitely be a repeat client. Thanks again.”

About: I always loved spending time with cats, have two of my own, one with anxiety issues and the other one just wants to cuddle. Have experienced cutting nails and bathing mine and friend’s cats. Understand a good clean litter box means a happy cat.

“Elizabeth has a gift with animals. She has great communication and makes you feel comfortable and confident to leave your fur babies when you have to. I highly recommend her!”

“I’ve had Yolanda do two drop-in visits in my home for my two pups (16 month old labradoodles) and she did a great job. She took them for a little stretch break and sent pics during the visit, etc. Both pups were calm when I got home and she had no problem with their little routine. Glad I called her and will have her back to hang out with my pups again!”

About: I’m an experienced and dedicated animal lover who has cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and reptiles. I treat every pet as if they were my own - providing them with love, attention, and the same level of care I’d give a cherished family member. I am available any day - please contact for availability or submit a request - I try to be flexible to fit your scheduling needs! On our walks I will take your dog on a hike, a less intense nature walk, or even stay more in urban areas depending on yours and your pets preference if known. At your home I can take your pet for bathroom breaks, clean up messes, provide feedings and water, scoop cat litter and poop outside and play with them to keep the active and stimulated!
“Georgia was very flexible and came a second time to my home on very short notice. She is great at giving medication, and I always feel safe knowing she’s taking care of my fur kids!”

About: I’ve grown up my whole life with two dogs, big and small, so I know just how important your furry friends are. Since I was 10 years old i’ve taken care of all types of dogs, and I am comfortable providing any type of care. I am a huge animal lover and have had much experience taking care of cats, rabbits, and even reptiles! I am currently in school studying a major in Biology and a minor in Zoology with hopes to spend much of my time around animals. As a dedicated student and lifelong animal enthusiast, I provide attentive, trustworthy care for your furry friends while you’re away. I am more than comfortable house/dog sitting over multiple nights and would love to have a companion in the house! Before caring for your pet, I will hope to be made aware of any special care necessary so I can be prepared and care for your pet in the best way possible. I am currently a student athlete on the women’s volleyball team, studying at UBC Okanagan. This means that most of my time is spent at the school in class, or in the gym. That being said, I do need your pet to be able to be left for longer hours throughout the day and possibly alright late in to the evening. I would plan to discuss my schedule with you in detail so that there is full understanding on when I will be around for overnight care etc. I am always open to discuss the best times needed for a walk around the block with your furry friend. With that in mind, the amount of time your pet is able to stay alone will be the most important question before I am able to provide my care. I have a fenced yard and a lovely german shepherd to keep your fur baby company. There is no crate, but am able to bring one into my home so your dog can sleep peacefully.

“Miranda had great communication and took lots of pictures. She offered to come meet and greet our scared cat before we left and this really helped him get the most out of her visits. 10/10 would recommend.”

About: I have grown up my whole life with animals. I currently have four dogs and four cats at home. I truly believe pets add so much love to the household. my hours are very flexible and change everyday. I work shifts at a local restaurant in oyama and also at mission hill winery. I’m usually free in the mornings and afternoons/nights vary. I cannot bring pets into my apartment, but will do whatever is needed at a clients home:) obviously each home is different and i will cater to needs, for example taking the dogs for a walk if there is no yard or constantly keeping an eye on the pet if they like to get into things.

About: I have had cats in my life since I was a newborn. I feel a house isn’t a home without a cat lounging about. My entire adult life I have had a cat in my home that I have had the pleasure in providing care for after adopting them at various ages from rescues. Currently we have two rescue cats in our home who are living the good life. I would care for your cat(s) as I would my own. Endless snuggles, scratchies, and comfort. If your cat needs medication I am more than happy to administer it as needed. Your cat won’t miss a beat during your absence and will be healthy and happy upon your return!

About: I’ve always had a love for cats since a very young age ☺️ Growing up alongside my childhood cat Lilly, it taught me the basics like deep cleaning her litter box and grooming her frequently. From then on I would begin cat sitting for my family members and friends!

“Erica was awesome looking after my 2 cats. My first experience with Rover and it was great! She sent me pics of the cats and kept me informed of how they were doing. My senior cat needed medications which was not a problem to be carried out :)”


“Second time I had her look after my cat. Beyond amazing service, above and beyond expectations. Put my mind such at ease with such a trusted sitter. Thanks so much again!! Need peace of mind with ur pets, 100 pct recommend!!”

“Bella was incredible with my cat. When I got back home after a 10 day trip my house was spotless and kitty was calm and happy. She was great at communicating throughout. Will definitely be booking her again!”


“Lora was a wonderful sitter for our anxious cat. He doesn’t usually warm up to people very quickly but Lora was patient, and sent pics of him relaxed and playing the whole time we were away. We would highly recommend Lora, and will definitely be requesting she catsit for us again in the future.”


“Alexa is a professional and caring pet sitter. We met in-person so that she could get acquainted with my cat and learn his routine. That gave me comfort that he would be well cared for, and he was. I would definitely recommend Alexa and I have already booked her service again!”

“Suzanne was wonderful - very kind, professional, and clearly a true dog person. She took the time to meet my dog beforehand and made sure it would be the right fit and that he would get along well with her dogs. I really appreciated how thoughtful and caring she was throughout the process. Highly recommend Suzanne!”
“Tessa was amazing! Would absolutely recommend! She looked after my 14 week old baby golden retriever and his older brother! She sent pictures all day long, constantly communicating with updates which we loved. They really enjoyed her fenced backyard since we live in an apartment, and she even took them for a splash in the creek! They came home so happy and tired and I will absolutely be booking her again!”

“Anothai and Mersad are the loveliest couple! They took such wonderful care of Luna. They are responsive and sent us lovely pictures and videos throughout the day. Thank you so much!”

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.

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.

I have a home with a fenced in open space for your fur-babies. As well as many hiking trails located nearby for your pups to explore! Potty breaks every two hours as well as 2-4 walks a day.
“Brandyn and his girlfriend Suki looked after my dog when I was passing through Kelowna for a medical appointment. It was 38° and I could never have left him in the car even in a parkade. It was such a relief knowing he was in airconditioning! He seemed quite relaxed with them which was surprising since he is an anxious dog, so clearly they have great dog vibes. I would feel very comfortable leaving Juno with them again another time.”

“Emma and her partner took real good care of Allie! Allie had a great time playing with Tilley. Their place is also very tidy and clean. I appreciate Emma being able to accommodate me last minute as I needed to go for a medical appointment and my original sitter fell through. Thanks Emma! Would love to book with you again!”

“Carla did an amazing job taking care of Dexter and Maya. They both seemed happy and relaxed after staying with her. She is great at communicating as well.. added bonus we got some great photos of the dogs. Thank you Carla!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover with many years of experience caring for pets, and I absolutely love having furry friends around. 🐶🐾🐱 Now that my kids are grown and out of the house, I have more time to devote to caring for your pets and would love to give them plenty of attention, affection, walks, playtime, and companionship while you’re away.

I’m responsible, active, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I live in a beautiful area with lots of walking trails, parks, and great places to explore.

I’ll treat your fur baby with the same love and care I would want for my own.

“Alexa is absolutely amazing she bonded with my pup right away and coco came back super tired after her walk she seems to have a lot of fun when she’s with Alexa ! I totally recommend her , super easy to communicate with and very serious when it comes to her work.”

About: I've had experience caring for many pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles, and birds. I've also cared for several pets of my own, so I'm used to feeding schedules, playtime, grooming, and giving lots of love! I can adapt to each animals personality and requirements. I treat every pet like they're my own and always make sure they're well looked after! I am currently working part-time and will be starting an online course through TRU in September, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care! I am able to easily work pet care into my daily/weekly routine and can be flexible with walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I stick to each pets usual routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. I follow all care instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, potty breaks, and any other specific needs depending on the pet. My biggest priority is that your pets are happy and cared for in their own environment while also being respectful and mindful of your home and belongings. I'm always happy to send regular updates and photos so you feel reassured that your pets are doing well!
About: I've been pet sitting for 21 years and have spent my life caring for animals of all kinds. Over the years, I've worked as a pet sitter, dog walker, kennel assistant, veterinary assistant, and now working toward a profession of dog training, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. What sets me apart is that I don't simply exercise dogs - I help them build better habits. Every walk is a training opportunity, with a focus on calm behaviour, loose leash walking, engagement, impulse control, and good manners, all tailored to your dog's individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, reactive or anxious dogs, high-energy breeds, and pets requiring medication or special care. Whether your dog needs an adventure, extra patience, or a consistent routine while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own while providing plenty of updates and photos for your peace of mind. I'm currently building my dog training business full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my attention to every pet in my care. I'm available for weekday walks, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, and overnight care. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, every dog receives plenty of individual attention, exercise, and enrichment. My goal is quality care - not rushing from appointment to appointment. Your pet's safety and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each dog's personality, routines, and comfort level before every booking. I use secure equipment, practice safe handling, and never introduce unfamiliar dogs unless requested by the owner. For boarding, dogs become part of my daily routine with structured walks, rest periods, enrichment activities, and lots of one-on-one attention. I maintain a calm environment that helps dogs feel relaxed and secure while you're away. You'll also receive regular photo updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

I send regular photo/text updates so owners can relax knowing their dog is happy and safe. I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality and needs, whether they’re high-energy or more relaxed.
About: I’ve grown up my whole life with two dogs, big and small, so I know just how important your furry friends are. Since I was 10 years old i’ve taken care of all types of dogs, and I am comfortable providing any type of care. I am a huge animal lover and have had much experience taking care of cats, rabbits, and even reptiles! I am currently in school studying a major in Biology and a minor in Zoology with hopes to spend much of my time around animals. As a dedicated student and lifelong animal enthusiast, I provide attentive, trustworthy care for your furry friends while you’re away. I am more than comfortable house/dog sitting over multiple nights and would love to have a companion in the house! Before caring for your pet, I will hope to be made aware of any special care necessary so I can be prepared and care for your pet in the best way possible. I am currently a student athlete on the women’s volleyball team, studying at UBC Okanagan. This means that most of my time is spent at the school in class, or in the gym. That being said, I do need your pet to be able to be left for longer hours throughout the day and possibly alright late in to the evening. I would plan to discuss my schedule with you in detail so that there is full understanding on when I will be around for overnight care etc. I am always open to discuss the best times needed for a walk around the block with your furry friend. With that in mind, the amount of time your pet is able to stay alone will be the most important question before I am able to provide my care. I have a fenced yard and a lovely german shepherd to keep your fur baby company. There is no crate, but am able to bring one into my home so your dog can sleep peacefully.

How I Care for Pets in Your Home 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their usual routine. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, personality, and preferences. During visits, I provide: * Fresh food and water according to their routine. * Walks, playtime, and exercise appropriate for their needs. * Plenty of attention, companionship, and affection. * A clean and comfortable environment. * Medication administration when agreed upon and appropriate. * Regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. I understand that every dog is different. Some are playful and energetic, while others need patience, space, and time to feel comfortable with a new person. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s routine. I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in caring hands while you’re away. Please feel free to share your pet’s needs and any special instructions before the visit. I’m happy to discuss how I can help! 🐶

“I cannot explain how grateful I am to Anothai and Mersad for taking such great care of Tala. She was treated like a queen!! We were out of province for over a week and never had to worry about her. We will book again!!!”

“Yolanda, you were amazing babysitter for Rex. I appreciate you putting Rex first while you were looking after him. You were a great dog sitter. Dealing with you Yolanda was incredible experience, you were kind, very Understanding, accepting to all my demands. It was pleasure dealing with you.”

“I genuinely can’t say enough wonderful things about Tessa! 🥹💕 She was absolutely amazing with my dogs and treated them with so much love and care. She took them for walks, gave them so much attention, and sent me the cutest photos and updates every single day. It made me feel so comfortable and happy knowing they were safe, loved, and having the best time while I was away. She truly went above and beyond. It was also my birthday while she was watching them, and she even surprised me with a birthday gift when I picked them up, which was honestly the sweetest and most thoughtful thing ever. 🥹💗 When I picked my dogs up, they were so happy and clearly had been so well taken care of. It’s such a good feeling finding someone you completely trust with your babies, and I’m so grateful I found Tessa. She will forever be my dog sitter now! I couldn’t recommend her enough — she’s caring, thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely such a sweet person. We absolutely adore her! 🐾💕”

“10⭐️!! Luke had such a great time on his vacation — I swear he didn’t want to come home! Jaeb was great with sharing daily photos of Luke’s stay, brushed him, took him for walk, played inside and out in the yard, and cared for him when he was nervous during the thunderstorm that hit. Immediately after meeting Jaeb we knew Luke was going to be in good hands, and we wouldn’t worry one bit while we were away. We will 100% be using Jaeb again in the future.”

“Sue and Claude are great. Excellent hosts and easy communication. Felt totally comfortable leaving Sparky with them. Will definitely call on them again.”

“Jayden was amazing! We were nervous about leaving our puppy with someone for the first time but he eased that instantly, could not recommend him enough. You can tell he really cares. Thank you so much!”

“Chalan and Joel and their girls are THE BEST I have met thus far. And I have had experiences using sitter's across Canada due to our traveling schedules. Their house is clean. The whole family is just full of love for dogs. My baby is newly blind so it's hard for me to find anyone that'd be patient enough to take care of her. But after just 1 day, I know my worries are not necessary. My dog was pampered and spoiled. I highly recommend Chalan and her family.”

“Viktoriia was amazing with Otis! I got lots of updates and she was great with her communication. He was nice and tired from going to the beach and playing. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Carla was great! Very responsive to booking dates and coordinating times. She was great with Franki. Took him for walks and play time at the dog park near her place. We will defiantly be using her again.”

“Our dog had a great stay! Gabrielle was able to keep him cool while we were in a heat wave. She accommodated his health issues and dispensed his medications. All this while making sure he had an amazing vacation!!! Highly recommend.”

“I can’t say enough positive feedback with our experience with Katrina and her family! She sent us lots of pics and videos during his stay which was great. My Great Dane/ English Mastiff had amazing stay! He was well taken care of and given the attention he loves. He has some separation anxiety but with the kindness Katrina gave him he was right at ease. Will 💯 use Katrina again 😊”

“If I could give Cielo 10 stars I would. She was absolutely wonderful. This was my second time using rover and she put my anxiety to rest. Blue had a blast and was sad to leave his new friend. I will definitely be a repeat client. Thanks again.”

“Had a terrific experience with Jackie!! Very warm, welcoming and at ease with our dog. Our dog quickly warmed up to her (and her dog) and seemed right at home . Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She went on long walks and was treated like a queen :)) Thanks so much, Jackie!!”


“Gail was amazing and her home was perfect for our two dogs. We never had to worry for one second while we were on holiday. She even sent pictures and notes to update us after they had their first days with her. I highly recommend her.”
