“Jutharet and her husband took our dog on very short notice as we had to make an emergency medical trip. They took excellent care of him, had lots of space for him to run around outside, and sent me updates along the way. Thanks SO much!!”
“Our pup Cali had a great weekend stay with Anothai and Mersad. So much so that she pouted for the entire first day back home! We really appreciated seeing the photos of all the fun she was having. It was a great feeling to see we had left our dog in such a great and loving home. We will definitely book again”
“Susanna and Claude said they really enjoyed having Winston stay with them. And Winston seemed to have a good time as well. They took him for walks and sent pictures which was very reassuring while we were out of town. We will definitely ask them again to look after Winston.”
“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.”
“10/10! Would definitely recommend & plan to repeat! Joseph & Tina took Zano into their home and showed him so much love & care. It was very evident on pick up that he was confortable and happy with them. They have a safe & fabulous set up with a large, fenced yard. Zano had ample outside time & came home tired. Joe & Tina were excellent! We felt well taken care of from their communication prior to drop off, during Zano's stay & at pick up. They went above & beyond expectations showing the highest regard for ours & Zano's needs, wishes & house rules. They were so considerate, friendly & respectful - I truly have no constructive feedback whatsoever & would 100% recommend.”
“Very good Dog sitter Viktoriia and her Family took my dog in with no issues at all. Very good with my sweet girl and gave me updates the whole time! It was my first time using rover so I was a bit nervous but she made me feel so comfortable.”
“She was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated throughout Vito’s stay with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him, and he had such a great time playing with her sweet dog. He came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“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!”
“Amy was open, responsive and caring with our cocker spaniel. This was our dog’s first time staying away from home with a pet sitter and we were reassured by Amy’s love for dogs (she has two little ones of her own) and her understanding that communication between her and us meant a lot. We received a photo and message every day. Thank you, Amy.”
“Easy drop-off and pick-up, great communication and our little pup was oh so tired when he came back. We are sure he had tons of fun and we would 100% refer anyone who is looking for a solid sitter in West Kelowna to Bryden and Colleen!”
“Cielo was a fabulous a sitter for our little guy. She kept us posted with pictures! She lives close to our place and it was nice to see he had another pal to chill with. Last minute accommodation was a delightful surprise. Thanks Cielo!”
“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! 🐾💕”
“Carla was great with Loki & Luna. She kept us updated everyday with pictures. Pups had a great time. Would book her again! We were late for pick up due to three airplane flight delays and she was flexible/accommodating.”
“Gabrielle is sooo great and provides great warmth - in both her personality and home - for watching Rupert. Our boy had so much fun also with his good friend Juniper. On this first beautiful dat of Spring in the Okanagan, it looked like Rupert also enjoyed soaking up the sun on the balcony. Thank you so much, Gabrielle, for looking after Rupert and the great photos. Much appreciated!!”
“We had a fantastic experience with the Jeremy! He did a great job giving our dog enough exercise to keep him happy. We also appreciated how well they managed his medications, making sure everything was given on time and correctly. Throughout our time away, they kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which really put us at ease. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!”
“Kelene was just a rare gem with our little fur baby. Her experience shows in understanding of different dog behaviors and tendencies and she is able to adapt or educate accordingly. She was fortunately available at super short notice and helping us further when our flight was delayed for another day! We came back and met him in the best state than he has ever been when left anywhere else and very settled in with Kelene. Thank you!”

“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!”
“Kailey did a great job watching our kitten while we were away. She left the house in mint condition and our kitty was clearly well taken care of. We will definitely be booking Kailey again in the future!”
About: I appreciate how intelligent cats are and how they have a mind of their own and follow their own rules. I have experience taking cats on walks around vehicles on leash. I have worked with cats behaviours (ignoring undesired behaviours and helping reward positive ones etc) to gradually help them learn to sit, go on walks, scratch posts etc.
“Daria was great for our 10 day trip. She took daily pictures and checked in everyday with us. We felt comfortable that our babies were in the right hands for the whole time away. We will happily use her services again in the future. Thanks Daria!”
“Jakob did an amazing job with Grumbles. He was communicative, consistent, took great care of my cat, and took some great photos! Grumbles was clearly smitten! I would definitely rehire Jakob again, and I'm sure my cat would love it, too.”
“Angela took fantastic care of our two cats, she even brought different toys to play with them, she really truly cares about animals, and is very responsible and kind person! We are very grateful for her visits.”
“My Peter is requiring more care and Paige is always able and willing to do whatever needs to be done! I have used Paige numerous times now and hopefully more to come. She is a great sitter and has made my vacations easy and carefree so glad we found her!!!!”
“Katherine was fantastic, always prompt to arrive as per schedule, ensured my cat was well fed, litter box cleaned and fresh water / dry food as usual! I will definitely book with her again”
“I can't say enough about the GREAT care Anna gave my cat!!! she was given so much love and attention i thought she must have rubbed herself in Catnip! LOL she was healthy but not so happy to be home with this old lady (me). she was with a younger women that gave her all the playtime she needed. she's very understanding and kind., i HIGHLY recommend Anna!! i wish i could share all the pictures she took on the "daily" which also made me a little jealous. LOL THANK YOU ANNA!!”
“Toni was great for x2 daily weekend drop/ins for my 2 cats. My shy 9month old kitten warmed up to her by the second visit. Easy to communicate with and took care of both cats feeding, playtime and litter box cleaning. Would recommend and hire again. Thanks Toni!”
“Thank you so much for visiting our kitty, Kits! We appreciate your photos; they really captured the way Kits was well taken care of. We look forward to booking with you again!”
“Hope took great care of our two cats while we were away. One of our cats is very shy and tends to hide, and Hope was thoughtful about feeding them separately to make sure both cats were eating properly. She sent us photos and updates of the cats, which we really appreciated, and went above and beyond with a few additional things we had asked. We would happily book Hope again. Thank you, Hope!”
“Viktoriia is an awesome dog walker. She responds quickly to our requests. She is friendly, committed, timely and most importantly our dog really looks forward to her arrival and walks. Thanks Viktoriia.”
“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 am a university student at UBCO living at home with my family and 2 dogs. This gives me the unique flexibility to stay overnight and care for pets on short notice. I have had dogs my whole life, and currently have a senior rescue, and a puppy at home. This gives me the experience I need to care for all kinds of dogs, well trained, not yet trained, puppies, seniors, rescues, purebreds etc. I have been dog and cat sitting for family friends several times a year for over 3 years since high school. I am a very responsible person, extremely reliable, and communicate well. I love the outdoors and going for walks, as well as lazy days at home. I have a very flexible school and work schedule. I am a student at UBCO and have several 3-4 hour gaps in my day which I can come home and spend time with the pets. I am done my classes around dinner time, and can come straight home for the evening. On the weekends, I am a server at a restaurant in town and generally only work 4-6 hour shifts. This means I am around for the majority of the day. I have been dog walking for many years as I have had dogs my whole life. With clients, I try and keep the pet’s routine as similar as possible to their owner’s. I like to be around as much as possible and keep the pets as comfortable as they can be while their owner is away.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Jeanine was great with our little Marty. He is quite shy with separation anxiety. I used to worry leaving him at doggy day care, but I felt much better leaving him with Jeanine and Tegan. Jeanine has a large gated yard yet still went the extra mile to put up more barricades by her fence to make sure little 10 pound Marty couldn’t sneak out. We look forward to Marty spending more time with Jeanine and Tegan.”
“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!”
“From drop off to pick up everything was absolutely perfect! Pictures and videos of my fur love put me at ease. Thank you, will keep you on my list next time I need sitting. ⭐️”
About: I have cared for dogs of my own and many others for family and friends throughout the years. From puppies to senior dogs, each animal has a unique personality and needs that I enjoy discovering and accommodating. Providing updates throughout the day, following special instructions for food or medication, daily walks, and a clean, safe home are some of the services and routine care I can provide. I work from home throughout the week with flexibility to accommodate lots of playtime and walks. Available for day-time and/or evenings. Weekdays are preferred but happy to accommodate weekends if my schedule permits. I live minutes from parks and beaches that I love taking walks to. I have a small unfenced, outdoor space at home and a clean, safe indoor space with room to play and lounge. Any toys, accessories, or specific training instructions that you would like to provide will be gladly received.
“Thank you so much to Yutharat! She take care really well of my boy for the day! I will definitely recommend her and I will be happy to leave him again with her :)”
“Aiden and Amy were amazing. They took such good care of my dog and were great at staying in communication so I knew he was in good hands. I highly recommend them to take care of your pet.”
“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.”
“Lovely couple with big hearts. I gave them very little notice but they were quite accommodating and helped me when I was in a bind. For that I am truly grateful. Tucker was very tired when he came home so I know he played and played.”
“Nash had a great time playing at Darcy’s and is exhausted now ha ha. He always gets excited when we drive up to her place. She takes good care of Nash. Thank you Darcy!!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have 20 years of dog ownership, 8 years with cats, and experience caring for a horse. Professionally, I’ve worked in a doggy daycare for 2 years and as a dog groomer for 1 year, plus 3 years running my own dog-sitting side hustle. I’m confident with dogs of all breeds and personalities and genuinely love what I do. I’m currently building my portfolio as a Newly licensed Residential Property Manager. I make my own schedule and I either work from home or easily on the go, so I figured why not do a bit more of what I really love the most. I currently offer in-home check ins, sitting and walking. As an experienced Pet-Sitter, and a professional property manager, I have a unique understanding of trust and care when it comes to your home and your pet!
About: As a lifelong animal lover and a devoted pup parent to my little Oakley, I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your furry friend in someone else’s care. I have years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas like Oakley to playful Labradors. I specialize in daily walks, personalized cuddles, and keeping routines familiar and fun. Your pup will feel right at home with us, whether it’s a lakeside stroll, playtime in the yard, or just some cozy downtime. We can’t wait to meet your best friend! Caring for other people’s pets fits seamlessly into my daily routine, whether it’s boarding, house sitting, drop in visits, daycare or dog walking. As a flexible professional with a steady schedule, I structure my days around my clients’ needs. Mornings are often perfect for energizing walks, midday naps and play times fit easily between my own tasks, and evenings are all about cozy cuddle time. This way, your pet gets the love and attention they deserve, while I keep everything organized and stress-free. We offer flexible, loving care for your pets, whether in our home or in the comfort of yours. At our home, we provide a calm, cozy environment, plenty of space to explore, daily walks, and a routine tailored to your pet’s needs. If your pet stays at home, we maintain their familiar schedule; we’ll follow your directions, keep them active, and give them all the cuddles and attention they love. No matter where your pet stays, we focus on trust, safety, and making them feel like part of the family.
“Rosie had the most amazing day with Mike and Finn! From the moment we met them we knew right away that she would be well cared for. We recieved pictures and updates throughout the day and she came home a tuckered pup. I've already booked another date and will continue using Mike going forward.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for every dog I meet. I've always been a huge dog lover, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it's going for walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. I have an amazing backyard for them to play as well as near by parks to take them on walks.
“Nicole was great with our dog Nova who is shy and reserved with strangers. Her calm demeanor and slow approach got Nova following her within a few minutes of meeting. Nicole sent us pictures throughout the sitting so we could see how she was doing. Would highly recommend having your doggo stay with Nicole!”
About: Growing up on a cattle ranch in Australia, I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life - caring for them is second nature. While I don’t have pets of my own right now, I regularly look after my mates’ dogs and genuinely love spending time with them. I’m patient, reliable, and understand that every dog has their own personality, pace, and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. <3 I’m also big on communication - you’ll get plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and in good hands! I work from home full time, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and supervised outdoor time throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to stick to your dog's usual routine, including walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of cuddles. My goal is to make them feel relaxed, comfortable, and right at home while you're away. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live on a fully fenced couple of acres in beautiful East Kelowna, providing plenty of secure space for supervised play and exercise. Because I work from home full time, your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive lots of attention throughout the day. I'll follow their usual routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to ensure they feel safe, loved, and right at home!
“Michelle took such good care of our baby girl! Penelope warmed up to her right away and Michelle sent me lots of photos throughout the day which made it easier to leave her. I will be using Michelle again!!”
“We were visiting from out of town and wanted to enjoy a dinner out. I felt very comfortable with Marylin and her communication. Stanley gets anxious without us but everything worked out since Marylin also has a doxie! I would recommend Marylin if you need a dog sitter. Thanks again!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Kelowna
Prices are estimates per walk for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I have always had a cat in my life and I have also volunteered over 200 hours caring for cats at the SPCA. I experienced a wide variety of cats, including many shy and anxious ones. While I have the most experience with cats, I would love to take your well-behaved dog for a walk or run. I am currently a student taking online courses, so I have complete flexibility for drop-in visits and walks throughout the week. I plan my schoolwork around visits so I can meet your pet’s needs and stay consistent with their routine. I’m a calm and patient person, and I always let your cat or dog approach me on their own terms. I never force interaction—I give them the space they need to feel safe and comfortable around me.
About: I am a calm and quiet person, and I believe pets appreciate me because I understand the importance of giving them the time and space they need to adjust when I am in their space while their family is away. Growing up, I loved helping my family take care of their dogs. I have helped groom, train, feed, and walk their dogs. But I have always had a soft spot for cats and so the first pet of my own is a dog-like cat. I've pet-sat for my friends while they went on longer trips. I have taken care of small to medium sized dogs. I've also worked at a cat cafe, caring for as many as 20 cats at one time. Some of my responsibilities included cleaning, feeding, playing, and observing the cats to ensure they were living their best lives at the cafe before finding their forever homes. My pet is a 2 year old large breed cat whom I adore. He understands basic commands like sit, up, lay down, jump, give paw, spin, roll over, kiss, hug etc. Let me know what your pet's usual routine looks like and what you're looking for and we can go from there! For house sitting: Standard overnight sitting includes 1-2 daily check-ins and staying overnight. Custom schedules or higher-needs care can be accommodated at an adjusted rate. Safety and comfort are my top priority, and that starts with understanding your pet’s unique personality. If you have any notes or a care guide on their routine, please share them with me. I have a particular cat myself, so I’m very experienced with 'fussy' pets. I know that following their exact preferences isn't just about comfort—it’s about making sure they feel secure while you're away.
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.
“Jenna was amazing! Great communication and the photos she took were better than any I’ve taken. She left a report card for Millie which is the absolute cutest! She managed to take Millie farther than I can in half an hour, so I know Millie got good exercise in while I was away!”
About: I share my life with a sweet, high-energy Border Collie/German Shepherd/Husky mix, so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and attentive care. Having spent most of my life around both dogs and cats, I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and needs. As an active person, I’m well-suited for high-energy play, long walks, and keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged. I aim to return every dog happy, fulfilled, and well-exercised. I also have experience with basic training and reinforcement, and I prioritize consistency, safety, and clear communication. You can count on me to be reliable, respectful of your routine, and attentive to your pet’s individual needs. I work a part time job at an e-bike rental shop downtown Kelowna, outside of work I am happy to take care of your pets, and I usually work a maximum of 6 hours. Rest assured that your pups will receive the attention and care they deserve. I am attention detailed at following your specific guidelines in entering and leaving your home. I am happy to do everything from caring for your pet as well as cleaning if you wish. We can talk about cleaning in person.
“Laura is professional and reliable. She’s very great with my 6 month old puppy and is a great communicator. I hesitate writing a great review as I don’t want everyone scooping her up from me 😅”
“Ashley was fantastic!! Took my Doggo on a great walk to the play park so she could run around with some other dogs, when I just didn’t have the time. My dog instantly really liked Ashley, which made the whole process super easy.”
About: Hi! I’m excited to offer attentive, loving care for your pets. Animal care has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember—I’ve been caring for dogs and puppies since I was 10 years old, raising my own pups, and regularly stepping in to look after pets for friends and family. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and sizes. Through training my own dog as a young adult and helping foster rescue dogs in my home, I’ve learned how to handle diverse personalities with patience, clear communication, and positive reinforcement. Whether your dog needs an active, energizing walk around the neighborhood, structured care, or just a calm, cozy stay while you’re away, you can trust that they will be safe, happy, and treated like family. Specialized Experience: Experienced in managing high-energy breeds, anxious temperaments, basic obedience training, multi-dog dynamics, and foster care. My flexible schedule as a part-time student and part-time employee allows me to give your pet consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Because I have substantial breaks between my classes and dedicated afternoon blocks off, I can easily fit in mid-day check-ins, walks, and feeding schedules. Monday & Wednesday: Available for morning, mid-day, and late afternoon check-ins during my class breaks, as well as full evening availability. Tuesday: Open and available all afternoon and evening. Thursday: Free during the morning and afternoon for check-ins and walks before my evening work shift. Friday: Available for morning and mid-day check-ins before my evening work shift. Saturday: Available for evening walks, dinner drop-ins, and overnight stays following my daytime work shift. Sunday: Completely free all day and evening for full-day care, long walks, and flexible scheduling. Note: I’m always happy to share my exact class times during our meet-and-greet to lock in the precise time slots that best fit your dog’s routine! If you are looking for overnight boarding or daycare in West Kelowna, your pup will love staying at my home! Fully Fenced, Spacious Yard: I have a large, securely fenced backyard with plenty of room for your dog to safely run, play, fetch, and stretch their legs. Safe & Secure: Peace of mind is my top priority. The perimeter is fully enclosed so your dog can enjoy outdoor playtime safely and securely. Comforts of Home: Indoors, your dog will be treated like family—with cozy places to rest, plenty of personal attention, and a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Note that my home is pet free as well

About: I am a university student at UBCO living at home with my family and 2 dogs. This gives me the unique flexibility to stay overnight and care for pets on short notice. I have had dogs my whole life, and currently have a senior rescue, and a puppy at home. This gives me the experience I need to care for all kinds of dogs, well trained, not yet trained, puppies, seniors, rescues, purebreds etc. I have been dog and cat sitting for family friends several times a year for over 3 years since high school. I am a very responsible person, extremely reliable, and communicate well. I love the outdoors and going for walks, as well as lazy days at home. I have a very flexible school and work schedule. I am a student at UBCO and have several 3-4 hour gaps in my day which I can come home and spend time with the pets. I am done my classes around dinner time, and can come straight home for the evening. On the weekends, I am a server at a restaurant in town and generally only work 4-6 hour shifts. This means I am around for the majority of the day. I have been dog walking for many years as I have had dogs my whole life. With clients, I try and keep the pet’s routine as similar as possible to their owner’s. I like to be around as much as possible and keep the pets as comfortable as they can be while their owner is away.
About: Hello! I have lived with dogs & cats numerous times over the years and miss being around them! I grew up with many small animals well loved including a tarantula, gold fish, frogs, budgies, and a cockatiel. I have owned two guinea pigs as an adult and absolutely spoiled them with a massive cage and toys, to make up for the one I had as a kid I didn't know how to take care of and have extensive knowledge with them. I also have experience watching bearded dragons, crested geckos, and other small animals. I love looking up information on different animals and breeds as I get to know them and further my knowledge. Thank you for considering me! I work part-time and attend school. Caring for animals is a wonderful way to relax and enjoy life and the personalities that all different animals offer. I am very cautious with plants, things left on the floor, food sensitives and any instructions and needs that the animal has to offer, and you request to feel reassured leaving your pet in my hands.
About: Hello! I work from home so in an ideal situation to care for your fur baby! I have many years of experience caring for pets in our neighbourhood, pets of friends, and of course many pets growing up including cats, dogs, gerbils, hamsters, fish, and rabbits. In my home, we are a family of 4 with two daughters, twins age 12 years who love animals. We also have two cats of our own that are apart of our loving home. I will care for your fur baby like our own! As a mother who works from home I can be around for your pets needs for pretty much all day! I love to get outdoors every day, so your pet will have lots of time outside (if that's what is required). I will ensure your pets are safe and sound at all hours of the day in addition to feeling loved and cared for. Let me know any special care required and what your pet's likes and wants, and I will make sure they are taken care of!
“This was our first experience with rover and we didn’t know what to expect, it was awesome! Michaela was great to coordinate the walk with and gave me a wonderful review from his walk. Thanks for making our first experience great!”
“Lori is fantastic with dogs. She establishes firm but loving contact which is exactly what is required. As a result, our boy is ecstatic to see her and behaves beautifully when with her. She is also an excellent communicator, professional and personable. Very happy to have found Lori and to have her looking after our boy.”

When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. I have an amazing backyard for them to play as well as near by parks to take them on walks.
“This was our first time using Rover and working with Jessie! All went very well, Bodhi was well taken care of, Jessie was on time and easy to communicate with while we were out of town. We’d be happy to have her walk Bodhi again!”

“Jutharet and her husband took our dog on very short notice as we had to make an emergency medical trip. They took excellent care of him, had lots of space for him to run around outside, and sent me updates along the way. Thanks SO much!!”
“Our pup Cali had a great weekend stay with Anothai and Mersad. So much so that she pouted for the entire first day back home! We really appreciated seeing the photos of all the fun she was having. It was a great feeling to see we had left our dog in such a great and loving home. We will definitely book again”
“Susanna and Claude said they really enjoyed having Winston stay with them. And Winston seemed to have a good time as well. They took him for walks and sent pictures which was very reassuring while we were out of town. We will definitely ask them again to look after Winston.”
“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.”
“Very good Dog sitter Viktoriia and her Family took my dog in with no issues at all. Very good with my sweet girl and gave me updates the whole time! It was my first time using rover so I was a bit nervous but she made me feel so comfortable.”
“Cielo was a fabulous a sitter for our little guy. She kept us posted with pictures! She lives close to our place and it was nice to see he had another pal to chill with. Last minute accommodation was a delightful surprise. Thanks Cielo!”
“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! 🐾💕”
“Carla was great with Loki & Luna. She kept us updated everyday with pictures. Pups had a great time. Would book her again! We were late for pick up due to three airplane flight delays and she was flexible/accommodating.”
“Gabrielle is sooo great and provides great warmth - in both her personality and home - for watching Rupert. Our boy had so much fun also with his good friend Juniper. On this first beautiful dat of Spring in the Okanagan, it looked like Rupert also enjoyed soaking up the sun on the balcony. Thank you so much, Gabrielle, for looking after Rupert and the great photos. Much appreciated!!”
“We had a fantastic experience with the Jeremy! He did a great job giving our dog enough exercise to keep him happy. We also appreciated how well they managed his medications, making sure everything was given on time and correctly. Throughout our time away, they kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which really put us at ease. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!”
“Alicia is lovely and the TLC she gave my little Morkie, Mali was outstanding! I loved getting the pictures and updates and found that quite quickly Mali was very comfortable and relaxed with Alicia, her partner and their sweet dog Clover. I will absolutely book Alicia again in the future and feel very fortunate to have found her!”

Let me know any special care required and what your pet's likes and wants, and I will make sure they are taken care of!
“Mike is fabulous, Farley is a little tentative and before the end of the first day he was best friends with Mike and having a blast with the other dogs. Mike takes them on tons of ‘excursions’ - hikes and swims, takes the time to understand each dogs personalities and loves all the dogs. Highly recommended!!!”
“Judith was great! Our dog has some quirks that we communicated with her. She is a confident leader and a kind sitter. Our dog was very content upon pick up. Thank you!!”
“Gail was fantastic with Dolly! She’s incredibly responsive and kind, and it was clear Dolly loved being in her care. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.”
“We met up with Terri-Lynn ahead of booking to make sure the dogs got along well and see the yard / house, which was great. She sent updates twice a day with lots of photos. It was clear Sammy felt comfortable and settled in nicely. Would recommend Terri-Lynn and her family if you’re in need of a dog sitter in the Okanagan.”
