About: What sets me apart is the level of presence and care I bring to each home. I focus on maintaining pets’ routines, comfort, and emotional well-being—not just meeting their basic needs. I’m patient, observant, and calm, which helps pets feel safe, especially puppies who are still learning and seniors who need gentler, more attentive care. My routine is built around doing what’s right for the pets I care for. I plan my days to ensure reliability, consistency, and calm, so each pet feels safe and well cared for in their own home. I prioritize safety, routine, and respect. I follow care instructions carefully, maintain a calm, secure environment, and stay attentive to each pet’s physical and emotional needs. Trust matters—to both pets and people.
About: I've spent years caring for dogs through fostering, and pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbours. I have experience with dogs of various sizes, breeds, personalities, and support needs, including senior dogs and those with disabilities. My partner and I also recently cared for a diabetic cat over several months, giving us experience following medication schedules and providing attentive care for pets with specific health requirements. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with family dogs and have continued caring for pets throughout adulthood. While I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to pet care, and I'd be happy to provide testimonials from previous pet owners if that helps ease your mind! I really enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet sitting throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. Your pet will receive lots of attention and will rarely be left alone! Please note: I will be unavailable from July 14–31 due to travel. I currently don't have any pets of my own, which allows me to focus entirely on the pets in my care! I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with a patio and easy access to parks, walking trails, and Penticton's dog-friendly beach areas. I'll be happy to stick to the schedule that your pets are familiar with (for example, if you let them on furniture, they'll be welcome on my furniture, if they usually sleep in a crate overnight, they'll do the same at my place, if they aren’t comfortable around other animals, I’m happy to accommodate that). Whether your pet loves outdoor adventures, relaxed walks, or plenty of cuddle time at home, I'll tailor their care to what makes them happiest!
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kirsten who took care of our Sadie. This was our first time leaving our puppy so I was feeling quite anxious. Kirsten was amazing with her & kindly sent picture updates. Knowing Sadie was in kind & loving hands made all the difference in the world! We would highly recommend Kirsten?”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing. She seemed very experienced with dog care and made my nervous dog feel very comfortable and at ease! She kept me updated throughout the booking, and was very accommodating and understanding. I'd recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a great, reliable dog sitter.”
“Sara was great to deal with and took excellent care of Fernie. She was happy to respond to us anytime we had questions and sent daily photos throughout the day. Fernie was socialized to many different settings and animals which will be great for her development.”
“Lisa was an amazing sitter for our dog Lincoln. She continuously updated us with photos, and let us know how he was spending the day. Lisa and Geoffrey have a wonderful family of kids, dogs and cats, and we felt like Lincoln was treated like a part of their family while we were away. I would highly recommend this lovely couple for anyone who needs to book a stay for their pet. Lisa & John”
“Jennifer treated Winnie with lots of love during her stay! I felt comfortable leaving her with Jennifer. She gave me updates which I appreciate. I would definitely ask Jennifer to watch Winnie again :)”
“Julie was very accommodating, taking our two dogs in last minute. She went above and beyond by taking them on a walk and sending updates and pictures of them. We highly recommend Julie if you want someone you can trust with your dogs. We will use her again when we come back to visit the Okanagan.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Jeanine provided for our dog, Benji. She was available on very short notice, which already meant a lot to us—but what truly stood out was how welcoming, loving, and attentive she was from the start. Jeanine is incredibly caring and clearly very experienced with dogs. Benji felt comfortable right away, and that gave my wife and me complete peace of mind. It’s honestly the best dog care experience we’ve had. We will definitely be reaching out to her again on a regular basis, especially whenever we travel. Highly recommend!”
“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!!”
“Odessa was amazing and we would definitely use her again. She was very flexible and accommodating with our needs especially for pick up/drop off times. She sent us a lot of pictures and we felt very comfortable having her watch our little Henri. You can tell that she has a great love for dogs and really enjoys spending time with them. Would recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter in that area!”
“This is Bubba’s second time staying with Anothai & Mersad. He walked right inside their house, tail wagging and barely looked back to say bye to us! He had an excellent time and we are so grateful to have found such a good fit for him! Will definitely continue coming back! Thank you Anothai and Mersad for loving on him while we are away!”

I am an animal lover with a 6th sense for communicating and interacting with all animals. I am always out on adventures and would love to take your doggy along or board them overnight. My dog is the friendliest and loves playing with other dogs and any animal really!

I am currently available 7 days a week for dog/puppy/cat sitting, dog walks/adventures and doggy/cat boarding and visits! Monday-Sunday. Happy to watch your little fur ball! I have a big fenced in yard with a friendly dog who loves playing with other dogs. He’s amazing with cats and small animals. I live right on the KVR and easy excess to many adventures for your doggy!
“Thank you so much for looking after Rex. Thanks so much for sending pictures. It helped me to feel attached to him even though I was away. You are amazing dog sitter and it was so nice to see how much you cared for my dog. You made me feel at ease that knowing Rex was with an awesome sitter and person who adores dogs as much I do. Rex say Woof, Woof!!”
“Facundo was absolutely amazing, very responsive and kind. My dog was happy and tired after his week with him. The regular updates and pictures were very much appreciated too. I would highly recommend Facundo and will definitely be booking with him again!”

“Laurie and Terry are fantastic people. My cat Elio had the best care and attention, and I so appreciated not having to worry about how he was doing while away, because he was in such great company. Great updates and I really appreciated all the photos too 🙂”
“Jen house sat our two indoor cats for 10 days and we have no doubt they were lovingly cared for. They both are on daily medication which we are certain Jen had no problems giving to them. As a plus our outdoor flowers looked awesome and cared for as well! We’ll definitely book her again for our next cat/ house sitting needs.”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, I bring a deep love and understanding to every pet I look after. From playful zoomies to peaceful senior strolls, I’m here to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home. I’ve personally raised and cared for three dogs of different breeds, and I’m confident handling all kinds of temperaments and energy levels. I’m happy to help with bathing, walks, playtime, and even basic training — including sit, recall, leash manners, and potty training. I’m especially mindful of age-specific needs, whether it’s soothing anxiety, supporting mobility issues, or simply knowing when a pup needs a little extra patience or comfort. Whatever your dog requires — special instructions, medications, or routines — I’ll follow it closely to ensure they feel loved and well cared for. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’d be honored to care for them like one of my own Pet care is a natural and rewarding part of my daily life. I build my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they get consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. Whether I’m doing drop-in visits, walks, or full-time pet sitting, I make sure each pet has a set routine they can rely on — from morning potty breaks and mealtime to evening walks and wind-down time. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions closely to maintain their familiar routine and environment. I respect your space and your pet’s comfort zone — whether that means quiet companionship or engaging activities. From feeding and walking to medications or special care, I treat your home and pet with the same love and attention I’d give my own.
“Kaylee was so fantastic with Bella! We felt great while we were gone knowing Bella was in good hands. She kept the house very tidy. We will definitely be booking with Kaylee again in the future!”
About: I am the first person most family, friends or neighbours call when they need someone to keep an eye on their home and their beloved pets. I have owned pets since I was young. So I am comfortable around dogs, cats, small animals and fish tanks. Apart from the usual diet and exercise expected, I have experience administering meds for cats and dogs (pills & needles) if required. I have fun trying to teach dogs how to dance! I frequently housesit for extended periods during the winter months, keeping your home safe and warm while you enjoy the warmth of a faraway beach. If I am housesitting I will be around all day, for other pet care I can do visits on a schedule that works best for you. I will follow any safety precautions set out by the owners. The safety of your pets, your house and my own safety are top priority.
“Sarah was wonderful! She was very calm and gentle with our somewhat fearful, unconfident dog, and by the end of her three visits with him he really liked her. She is very knowledgeable about dogs, & provided exercise and enrichment in the form of some dog puzzles on one very cold day. She even leant us a dog harness because we had forgotten ours. We will definitely try to book Sarah again when we are next in Fernie.”
About: I've cared for cats for over 20 years. I pay close attention to body language and individual pet needs. I know how precious our fur babies are to us. I look forward to getting to know them!
“Phoebe was wonderful with our kitties. Our youngest is a little unsure of new people and will hide. Phoebe easily won them over with her calm and caring nature. Would definitely book her again.”
“Sara was a fantastic pet sitter, she sent daily updates and was great to communicate with. She made a week away very seamless and connected well with my usually timid cat. I thoroughly recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter in Penticton”
About: I’ve cared for cats my entire life, from playful kittens to my own 24-year-old senior who I treat like royalty. I understand the unique needs of every cat—whether that means extra cuddles, gentle care for seniors, or just giving them space when they want it. I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, loved, and well looked after while you’re away!

I am also a big supporter of positive, reward-based training methods (such as AnimalKind).

“We left Cooper for a daycare visit, I felt very comfortable leaving him with Colleen and Andrew. Their dogs were very good with Cooper. I would definitely leave Cooper with them again. Thank you taking good care of him”
“Julie was great with my nervous little guy and agreed to take him at the last minute to spare him the stress of dealing with movers coming in and out of our new place at the end of a long distance move. He settled in with her immediately and Julie kept me updated with photos. I'm so grateful that she was able to give him a quiet safe haven during a stressful time!”

“Chelsea took wonderful care of our nervous pup. This was our first experience using rover and it was great! Hoping our dog can be looked after by Chelsea again soon in the future!”
“Great experience all the way around. I required last minute assistance with my very senior dog Ashton and was relieved when Carissa was available to keep my old man overnight so I could enjoy my Daughters wedding. Due to a hectic schedule I needed help dropping him off and of course was late picking him up. When I arrived I found my dog relaxed and could tell he was comfortable. She was understanding of my time restraints and very pleasant to deal with. I met her big teddy bear of a pup who I could see was a gentle giant compared to my frail 16 yo poodle X. I highly recommend her here in Penticton and will absolutely use her services next time we are in the area. Thank you so very much for your help Carissa!”
“Lisa is really flexible with drop off and pick up times and sends me lots of pictures and videos of the dogs enjoying themselves. My pup made friends and is always so excited to come here! I feel comfortable at work knowing she is well taken care of 😊”
“John and Lisa were excellent with our pup Milo. They were very accommodating and very friendly :) I would recommend them to anyone looking for any dog sitting service. Thank you John and Lisa!”
“Jeanine is lovely and so compassionate towards the dogs in her care. She allowed my dog to explore and get himself situated and warm up to her and the environment at his pace. Would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I would like to open our home to other dogs families in need of dog daycare, walking, boarding etc. I have a 7 year old labrador retriever, and his goofy energy is contagious.

Having raised our pup Maple full time, from 8 weeks old, and I have a lot of patience and care to offer. I hope to hear from you soon! I work casually as a nurse, so my schedule is flexible and I can essentially pick and choose my work days which opens up my availability to care for pups :) I am comfortable with all types of dogs, and I'm happy to hang out at home with them or take them for fun times at the park. I live alone and have no children besides my fur baby.

She was quick with communication and sent several updates including pictures and videos. Carla took Cass on a couple longer walks which he loves.”
“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.”

Molly was very well cared for, and we felt completely at ease leaving her with them. It is such a nice feeling to find sitters who are warm, trustworthy, and clearly treat dogs with so much love and attention. We would absolutely book with them again and again!!! 😍😍😍”

“Kristin walked my dog Sasha twice yesterday and she was absolutely amazing. It was a bit of a last-minute booking, and she was super accommodating and easy to coordinate with—all over text, which made everything really convenient. I didn’t even meet her in person, and I still felt completely comfortable. She kept me updated and sent photos to show Sasha was safe and back home, which gave me so much peace of mind.

About: With years of experience caring for pets, I've developed a keen understanding of their diverse needs and personalities. I adjust all my walks to meet each dog's specific requirements. If you have a very energetic young dog, we can go on challenging hikes to burn off that extra energy. Alternatively, if your dog is older or prefers a more relaxed pace, we can enjoy a stroll in a calm and peaceful environment.

Whether it's a midday check-in or a weekend hike, I'm here to provide reliable care. I'm dedicated to providing a safe and trusted environment for your dog.

I have a one floor townhome and a fenced backyard for your dog to roam in. I live in a quiet and safe area with places to explore. I typically walk dogs twice a day before and after work. I always make sure their needs come first and will make sure that yours do to. I am a very relaxed dog owner and can ensure you that your pets will be well loved while in my home or at yours. I have owned 2 cats and 3 dogs that are no longer with me and want to fill that void again. All sizes of dogs are welcome in my home but I prefer to take non aggressive pets or un-neutered ones. I am very experienced with dogs of many ages and breeds, I can administer medications and assist with kennel training if needed. I do work full time days, but pets are never home alone for more than 8 hours during the week and on the weekends I spend as much time with them as possible. I am available during the week as well as weekends. I’d be honoured if you chose me for a temp home for your pets as I know how difficult it can be to go away. Before drop off I would like to do a meet and greet to ensure your comfortability and theirs. I currently work full time afternoons from Sunday to Thursday. It is important to me that all pets get time and social interaction. Outside of work I dedicate all my spare time to pet care when sitting. I am very relaxed and am ok with pets roaming around unless otherwise specified. I also have a decent sized home and yard and provide lots of attention and love to them.

I am happy to come over to keep the animals company and give them love while you are away. I don't mind changing the litter box giving treats or feeding.
About: Growing up in a small town with lots of land, animals were always a huge part of my life. I’ve owned and cared for a wide variety of pets, including French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs, French Mastiffs, Rottweilers, and many cats, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. Now that I’m away at university as a full-time student, I miss having pets around every day and love any opportunity to spend time with animals. As a fitness enthusiast, I’m very active and happy to provide long walks, playtime, adventures, and lots of exercise for energetic pets. If your pet prefers relaxing and cuddling, I’m just as happy spending quality time keeping them company while I study. Whether it’s walks, feeding, brushing, bathing, cleaning up after them, or simply giving them lots of love and attention, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and spoiled while you’re away. I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make their time with me feel like a vacation. I’m a university student with online courses so I have a flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply having someone around to keep them company, I’m happy to fit their routine and needs. I enjoy staying active, so energetic pets are always welcome, but I’m just as happy spending a quiet afternoon studying with a cuddly companion by my side. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality to make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I’m attentive, responsible, and happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, bathing, exercise, training, or household rules. Whether caring for your pet in your home or spending time with them throughout the day or in my home, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and care that I would my own pets.

Please note: I will be unavailable from July 14–31 due to travel. I currently don't have any pets of my own, which allows me to focus entirely on the pets in my care! I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with a patio and easy access to parks, walking trails, and Penticton's dog-friendly beach areas. I'll be happy to stick to the schedule that your pets are familiar with (for example, if you let them on furniture, they'll be welcome on my furniture, if they usually sleep in a crate overnight, they'll do the same at my place, if they aren’t comfortable around other animals, I’m happy to accommodate that). Whether your pet loves outdoor adventures, relaxed walks, or plenty of cuddle time at home, I'll tailor their care to what makes them happiest!
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kirsten who took care of our Sadie. This was our first time leaving our puppy so I was feeling quite anxious. Kirsten was amazing with her & kindly sent picture updates. Knowing Sadie was in kind & loving hands made all the difference in the world! We would highly recommend Kirsten?”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing. She seemed very experienced with dog care and made my nervous dog feel very comfortable and at ease! She kept me updated throughout the booking, and was very accommodating and understanding. I'd recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a great, reliable dog sitter.”
“Lisa was an amazing sitter for our dog Lincoln. She continuously updated us with photos, and let us know how he was spending the day. Lisa and Geoffrey have a wonderful family of kids, dogs and cats, and we felt like Lincoln was treated like a part of their family while we were away. I would highly recommend this lovely couple for anyone who needs to book a stay for their pet. Lisa & John”
“Jennifer treated Winnie with lots of love during her stay! I felt comfortable leaving her with Jennifer. She gave me updates which I appreciate. I would definitely ask Jennifer to watch Winnie again :)”
“Julie was very accommodating, taking our two dogs in last minute. She went above and beyond by taking them on a walk and sending updates and pictures of them. We highly recommend Julie if you want someone you can trust with your dogs. We will use her again when we come back to visit the Okanagan.”
“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!!”
“Odessa was amazing and we would definitely use her again. She was very flexible and accommodating with our needs especially for pick up/drop off times. She sent us a lot of pictures and we felt very comfortable having her watch our little Henri. You can tell that she has a great love for dogs and really enjoys spending time with them. Would recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter in that area!”
“This is Bubba’s second time staying with Anothai & Mersad. He walked right inside their house, tail wagging and barely looked back to say bye to us! He had an excellent time and we are so grateful to have found such a good fit for him! Will definitely continue coming back! Thank you Anothai and Mersad for loving on him while we are away!”
About: I have had both dogs and cats since I was a small child. I’ve volunteered at the SPCA for years and have a 4 year old dog and 23 year old cat who I absolutely adore. I am an animal lover with a 6th sense for communicating and interacting with all animals. I am always out on adventures and would love to take your doggy along or board them overnight. My dog is the friendliest and loves playing with other dogs and any animal really! I have a big fenced in yard and live downtown Penticton close to the beaches, hiking trails and the off leash dog beach! I am currently available 7 days a week for dog/puppy/cat sitting, dog walks/adventures and doggy/cat boarding and visits! Monday-Sunday. Happy to watch your little fur ball! I have a big fenced in yard with a friendly dog who loves playing with other dogs. He’s amazing with cats and small animals. I live right on the KVR and easy excess to many adventures for your doggy!
“Facundo was absolutely amazing, very responsive and kind. My dog was happy and tired after his week with him. The regular updates and pictures were very much appreciated too. I would highly recommend Facundo and will definitely be booking with him again!”
About: I completed professional training in dog handling and have owned and cared for two dogs, one during my childhood and one currently. I also have experience walking and managing different dogs. My passion for dogs and commitment to their well-being make me an excellent choice for pet care. With my child at daycare from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, I have a flexible window to dedicate to pet care. At evenings I’m also available if you need. So I’m very flexible. I can easily fit in dog walking, feeding, and playtime visits. My routine allows me to provide attentive, consistent care, making sure pets are happy. When caring for dogs in their own homes, I follow the owner’s specific instructions to ensure their pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m flexible and attentive to each dog’s needs, whether it’s feeding, playing, or relaxing. I also offer off-leash walks in nearby parks for extra exercise and enjoyment, providing a safe and happy experience.
“I couldn’t be happier with Mike and how incredible he treated my dog, kevin. He kept me up to date with pictures of all the activities they were up to which made being away so much easier. I had absolutely no doubt Kevin was loved and cared for as if he was their own. Will without a doubt be using Mike and his family again next time I’m out of town.”
“Chalan & Joel and their two lovely daughters took amazing care of our doggie Gem in their beautiful home. Gem has a hind leg injury requiring special care and she was given just that. They sent beautiful pictures of our happy pup throughout her visit and were always communicative with updates. We can’t recommend them enough! A lovely family that treats your dog as one of their own is all any pet owner can hope for and that is exactly what we got.”
“Karen and her husband are so lovely! They looked after our pup Lily with short notice on a weekend that we really needed help. Karen was very responsive to my messages when I was checking in. It was so nice to have peace of mind that Lily was with such caring people. Highly recommend!!”
