“My dog is unique and unlike to any other dogs they have taken care of. They handled my dog very very well. They didn’t even give up on him. They are just the best people for my dog or any dog our there! We can really tell with our interactions with Jacqueline and her husband that they trully care about animals and their well being. 5 star recommended.”
“Jutharat is SO sweet, she sends lots of photos and updates. She has a really nice big fenced backyard that backs on to forest trails. This is the 2nd time my dog has stayed with her and I would absolutely book with her again or recommend her! My dog always has the best time with her :)”
“Kirsten was amazing with our pup! She was very friendly, accomodating, and so loving toward the animals. We would definitely not hesitate to leave our puppy in her care again.”
“I was so pleased to see Santana happy when I returned and happy to see me. I received updates while I was gone and I think he managed to melt in. He can be a little nervous with certain things like slippery floors and it was nice to see they tried to make him more comfy but putting down little carpets for him to walk on!”
“Morgan took great care of Bear while we were out of town. Provided us with updates and photos, and was accommodating when we needed to change our pick up time. Thanks!”
“Rex always comes home so content after a weekend with Anothai and Mersad. They always communicate and send lots of photos and videos. We appreciate them so much.”
“Chelsea was amazing with my Frenchie, he even followed her dog into the water at the beach for the first time! I love how comfortable he appeared to be with Chelsea. The updates made me feel at ease and it was nice seeing that he was having a great time. I’ll definitely be choosing Chelsea again.”
“We recently left our tri-pawed Frenchie Abigail, with Bryden and Colleen. They were very friendly and easy to coordinate with, including setting up a meet and greet with Abigail before the weekend stay. Communication with them was excellent throughout the stay with photos and updates. Abigail was happy and well cared for and was more than happy to stay instead of coming home with us, lol. We highly recommend Bryden and Colleen!”
“Darcy took wonderful care of Teddy. Teddy is a new rescue and Darcy was the perfect person to take care of him with her fostering experience. He quickly became comfortable with her and created a bond ☺️ Darcy also kept us regularly updated with pictures and videos. We’re so lucky to have found our go-to sitter on our first try with Rover!”
“Lisa was a joy to work with. We needed someone to watch our dog for a day last minute but we are newbies to Rover and the area. Lisa made time to do a meet and greet with our dog to make sure he was happy and that he got along with the other animals and kids. He is a very social dog and loves exercise. It was the perfect place for him to play with other puppies and run on their long yard. They even took him on a family adventure and sent so many pictures. I wasn’t sure he was going to come back home with us he was having so much fun. Thank you!!”
“Marilyn was very friendly and took wonderful care of my dog Pippin and was also kind enough to send some pictures of him. He settled in nicely with her other fur babies and seemed to be very comfortable with her. She was also very communicative to my messages. I would definitely recommend her and use her services again. I am also very happy with Rover and love the ease of use. Thanks and thumbs up. 😊 👍 She”
“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!!”
“Another great experience booking with Chalan and Joel. I always feel comfortable leaving Bentley with them, enjoy our catchups on drop off and pick up, and really appreciate how much love he receives from everyone there. Thank you.”
“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!”

About: I have 10 years worth of experience! I’ve been around dogs my entire life, working with dogs of all ages and breeds! Ive been walking dogs since the age of 10 through my family friends dog boarding business! I’m available for dog walking Monday to Friday. From 9am to 6pm. I’m currently not working so I’m looking for as many jobs as I can get! I will ensure your pups are safe and sound with me! Providing fresh water on walks, treats and getting your pups the exercise they need!
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I started caring for pets when I was 12, and what began as helping neighbors quickly grew into over 20 years of experience with cats, dogs, and even horses. From playful puppies to senior pets, I’ve seen it all and I know how to meet each animal where they’re at. I believe pets deserve more than just “care” — they deserve comfort, companionship, and someone who truly understands them. Whether that means long walks, gentle grooming, or just extra snuggles, I make sure every pet feels loved and safe while their people are away. You can relax knowing your pets will be treated like family, because to me, that’s exactly what they are. 🐾 Caring for others has always been at the heart of my life. I work casually as a care aid in healthcare, and caring for animals has been a constant alongside that for over 20 years. From cats and dogs to horses, I’ve loved being the person people can rely on when they need someone trustworthy and compassionate. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s keeping up with a playful pup, providing comfort to a senior cat, or just making sure your pets feel safe and loved, I treat every animal as if they were my own. When I care for pets in someone else’s home, I understand I’m being trusted with two of your most important things — your animals and your space. I take that responsibility seriously by keeping routines consistent, paying attention to details, and making sure pets and homes stay safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Phoebe was great! Easy to communicate with and plan with. Very friendly and my little girl loved her! It's always hard on me to leave my cat, but knowing Phoebe was coming to check on her made it easier. I will definitely rebook and would refer her to anyone! Absolutely loved the little video clips and pictures.”
“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!”

I care for pets in all ways, can do walks, baths, cuddles (of course) and will ensure the home is kept clean. Will play as much as the pet would like & ensure they get lots of exercise

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!
About: Hi, I’m Emily! I’m an avid adventurer and lifelong dog lover who believes every pup deserves daily exercise, enrichment, and plenty of love. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to take dogs on mid-day walks and hikes while also being fully present with them throughout the day. My lifestyle allows me to travel and meet new families and pets, giving me the opportunity to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care wherever I go. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, fish, and rabbits, so I understand the unique needs and responsibilities that come with caring for animals of all kinds. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or structured walks, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work remotely Monday–Friday, allowing me to be flexible with daily walks and pet care. For boarding, I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will never be left alone. I always ensure your pet gets plenty of exercise and regular potty breaks. I also follow your rules and routines, as I understand how important consistency is for proper training.
“Lora was absolutely amazing with our Kitty and home while we were away for 3 weeks! Kitty was well taken care of and Lora was very responsive, providing regular updates and pictures. Our home was spotless upon our return and everything was perfect. We will absolutely book Lora again for our next trip and I think Kitty misses her already!”
About: I am very active outdoors- walking, running, hiking. My family home had two dogs, one day I plan to take on the responsibility of my own pup, and in the meantime I cherish any opportunity to care for them:) I currently work part time and do personal projects. You can expect your pup to have morning, afternoon and evening walks during the weekday, and join me for adventures on the weekend. Some common ones being walks and hikes on nearby trails. Scratches and cuddles, food and fresh water as per their schedule, playing with them. Kindness and affection are absolutes. Any other elements like toys or favorite spots to ensure they feel safe.
“Shelley is a literal earth angel who truly loves animals deeply. Every check in update was detailed and also made me giggle as she really got to know my cats personalities haha this was my first role using Rover and I’m so glad I found Shelley on here!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Summerland
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
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'm an active volunteer with the SPCA (providing dog and cat support) and Elderdog, and I regularly dogsit for friends. I have Pet First Aid and CPR training and experience caring for senior dogs. My criminal record and vulnerable sector checks are up-to-date. I am without a dog of my own for the first time in many years and I miss the companionship of a furry friend. I'd love the opportunity to spoil yours! *I am currently offering boarding for one dog only up to 65lbs (30kgs). My schedule varies, but is usually quite flexible as I work part-time from home. I am happy to discuss your pet's needs with you and together we can determine how best to meet them. Your dog will be treated like one of the family and have access to the entire house and yard. I am also a big supporter of positive, reward-based training methods (such as AnimalKind).
“Couldn’t say better things about Jaqueline! This was the first time my puppy stayed with anyone so I was nervous but I felt very comfortable with her the minute I met her. She eased my mind by sending me plenty of pictures and videos. She took great care of my puppy and was great to communicate with. If you are looking for someone to take care of your dog, I highly recommend her.”
“We were nervous about leaving our 5 month old puppy for the first time. So happy we found Colleen and Andrew. They are an exceptional doggie daycare. Fantastic communication and so reassuring. Such wonderful care. Really wonderful environment. Loved seeing the video and picture updates. Puppy came home tired and happy. Pretty sure our puppy didn't want to leave. I highly recommend Colleen and Andrew!”
“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!”
“Julie was great: good communication, quick to reply, and sent photos over the day so we knew our dog (Davis) was ok. This was Davis' first time with a pet-sitter and he is a bit wary of strangers but he walked right into Julie's place! She was also very kind when we were late picking up Davis (minor bike crash caused delay) and Davis had no complaints about spending the day with her.”
About: I have had the privilege of taking care of my own high energy dog, Luna, for 8 years. She has taught me all about caring for animals, such as what counts as a good walk, which treats are the best, how important belly rubs are, and that the couch is a shared space. I have trained her to have a strong recall as we go for many off leash walks. I also have experience training the basic obediences as puppies and teenage dogs, giving medication, and following medical procedure pre-cautions and guidelines. My neighbours have also asked me to look after and care for their pets along the way as well. I’m hoping to bring my knowledge of taking care of her to the dogs in town and give them the best walks and care. I’m currently a masters student with plenty of time to go on walks and explore the parks. I am used to fitting in two 1 hour walks per day and exploring different parks around the city. I am also a reliable student that can house sit while you are away. I am happy to adapt to you and your pups schedule and preferences as needed! I can easily adapt to you and your pups routine throughout our time together. If you have a favourite park I will be happy to take your pup there. If they have a bed time routine or eat only one brand of food and treats, I will honour that as well. I look forward to meeting you and learning all about your pup and their routine!
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. He is very friendly to other dogs. I am highly organized, and love all types of dogs. I offer home check ups, dog daycare, dog boarding, and dog walking services. 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.
“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!”
“Jutharat was such a great host for our pup while we were out and about during our visit to Kelowna from out of town! She sent lots of update photos and our boy got along great with her dog Pippi. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Thanks, Bryden and Colleen, for taking such good care of Poppy today. She had a great time and came home a happy girl. We will definitely be returning. So happy that we found you!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Lisa and Geoffrey were amazing. They have a beautiful yard and lots of space. Supper friendly and a warm greeting on arrival. My puppy Cielo loved it there and seemed right at home. Definitely recommended Lisa and Geoffrey for anyone that is looking. Also there was always other dogs and friends for Cielo to play with. ?”
“Rhonda was amazing with Coffee! She kept me updated throughout the day and sent lots of pictures, including one from their trip to the beach. Coffee had such a great time! She was also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which I really appreciated. I would definitely book with Rhonda again!”
“Leanne was great. Despite Angel and Birdie being very excitable and energetic (and nervous) as they are brand new to us, she was able to cope and keep them happy. I would definitely recommend Leanne in the future.”
“Absolutely thrilled with the dog sitting service! They took exceptional care of my furry friend while I was away. They provided regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. My dog returned home happy and well-exercised, and it was clear they received plenty of love and attention. Highly recommend Anothai for anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 5 stars!”
“Sylvie was amazing to deal with from the get-go. Quick to respond, experienced, clean, comfortable environment and very friendly. She spoiled my girl, took her out for a ride in her convertible and got her a treat. I am so thankful! 5 stars, would recommend and use again!”
“My dog has been regularly been going to Suzanne's for a couple of weeks now and she absolutely loves it. As soon as I pull up to drop her off she starts scrambling to run to the door and it's great to see her so excited to be there. Suzanne is great with dogs, and they lover her too. And the cherry on top is how accommodating Suzanne is for your schedule, and how great she is at communication (she's always quick to respond!).”

“Deborah was fantastic with our pug Harry. She walked him everyday for 2 weeks while we couldn’t be home during the day. She sent lovely updates, and photos she was very reliable and warm with our little guy. She clearly loves animals. I would highly recommend”
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!

About: I have experience with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies/kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. I go beyond the basics , adding playtime, enrichment, and affection so pets feel loved while their owners are away. Pet care is a consistent and rewarding part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, given fresh water, and enjoy time for exercise or play. I incorporate walks, and enrichment activities like training or interactive toys throughout the week to keep pets happy and healthy. I also monitor their behavior and well-being, noting any changes in appetite, energy, or mood. Regular communication with pet owners is a priority, so I provide updates and photos to ensure peace of mind. I prioritize a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment for every pet.

He can be a little nervous with certain things like slippery floors and it was nice to see they tried to make him more comfy but putting down little carpets for him to walk on!”
“Morgan took great care of Bear while we were out of town. Provided us with updates and photos, and was accommodating when we needed to change our pick up time. Thanks!”
“Rex always comes home so content after a weekend with Anothai and Mersad. They always communicate and send lots of photos and videos. We appreciate them so much.”
“Lisa was a joy to work with. We needed someone to watch our dog for a day last minute but we are newbies to Rover and the area. Lisa made time to do a meet and greet with our dog to make sure he was happy and that he got along with the other animals and kids. He is a very social dog and loves exercise. It was the perfect place for him to play with other puppies and run on their long yard. They even took him on a family adventure and sent so many pictures. I wasn’t sure he was going to come back home with us he was having so much fun. Thank you!!”
“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!!”
“Another great experience booking with Chalan and Joel. I always feel comfortable leaving Bentley with them, enjoy our catchups on drop off and pick up, and really appreciate how much love he receives from everyone there. Thank you.”
“Ashley took great care of our dogs while we were gone, and they loved their time at her house and with her dog as well. She was prompt with communication in booking and provided multiple video and photo updates while we were away. Highly recommend and will definitely book again with her😊”
“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.”
“Julie was great! We loved her updates during our pups fist time boarding. A little extra reassurance for mom and dad was so appreciated. I would highly recommend Julie and we would absolutely reconnect with her again the next time we are in the Okanagan. Thanks, Julie!”
“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!”
“We had the absolute BEST experience with sylvie and her family! Our dog Annie was completely spoiled , it was like Annie was on a true holiday! They took her on amazing walks , swimming in the lake and so many fun adventures! Sylvie gave multiple updates and pictures daily ! And she was truly a joy to leave our dog with. I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you so so much sylvie for giving Annie the BEST time ever !”
“Mario and Jennifer were amazing! First time leaving our puppy and they made the experience a very positive one. Sent pictures and videos while we were away which was so comforting! Highly recommend!!!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their pets while they’re away, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications when needed, and keeping them on their normal routines. As a registered nurse, I’m responsible, attentive to detail, and comfortable following specific care instructions. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and recognizing when a pet’s behaviour or needs may change. I’m also a pet owner myself and know that every animal deserves individualized care, plenty of affection, and a safe, loving environment. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving owners peace of mind through reliable communication and regular photo updates. I work 3-4 days per week as a registered nurse and am looking into fitting pet care into my schedule. I am available Thursdays, most Fridays, and weekends. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I prioritize safety, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and carefully follow any special instructions or medication schedules. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
