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.
“Jeanine took fantastic care of our dog while we were away. She was responsible, caring, and kept us updated with photos. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend her!”
“So grateful that Charlie is well taken care of. He gets so much play time and I love receiving updates and pictures of him having fun! Thank you so much again.”
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!
“Morgan was absolutely amazing with Mellow! From the moment we met, it was clear how loving and attentive she is. She treated Mellow like her own, made sure she was comfortable and happy, and even helped administer her eye drops medication. Morgan was also incredibly flexible and kind about pickup time, which made everything stress-free. I felt completely at ease knowing Mellow was in such good hands. I would 1000% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Morgan!”
“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.”
“Anothai and Mersad went above and beyond to care for our dog. We had multiple photo and video updates and we were so at ease knowing our dog had such a loving home while we were away. Thank you both again for everything! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a great home away from home for their Pup!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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 :)”

“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”
“Bryden and Colleen were extremely kind and made me feel comfortable leaving our dog Sadie with someone for the first time. Picking her up I knew she had a great visit. When we need someone to watch Sadie in the future they will be our first choice.”

About: I’ve cared for cats my entire life, from playful kittens to my own 24-year-old senior who I treat like royalty.

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.
About: I grew up with cats and have been blessed with many cat-owner friends that trust me with their loved felines too. Experienced with administering medication and preparing meals of all kinds and timelines. Here to love your pet like my own!
“Nicole was awesome! She was super responsive and easy to communicated with. My cat has advanced kidney disease and it was a huge relief to have someone so knowledgeable check in on him. High recommend.”
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!

(And medicating one kitty with no fus) will book again for future travels !!”
“Bianca was so great with our pup and really took the time to ask us questions about what we wanted for when she dog sits. Our pup warmed up to her so quickly!

About: I have been taking care of animals for over 20 years. I started out at a young age taking care of neighbours and friends animals. I spent some time volunteering for various animal societies.

“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!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care Sydney provided for Leo. It’s not always easy finding someone who is comfortable and patient with a senior, 65lb Plott Hound, but Sydney was fantastic with him. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. Leo returned from his walks happy and well-exercised, and I really appreciated the updates she provided along the way. It gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. We will definitely be booking with her 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. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with—Sasha loved her. She was reliable, kind, and someone you can truly trust with your pet. I’d 100% recommend Kristin to anyone looking for a great dog walker. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
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. I have a very flexible part-time job, giving me plenty of free time to walk your dog. I can work around your schedule with morning, afternoon, and evening slots available. 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. My priority is their safety and well-being, ensuring they have a positive and enriching experience with responsible care practices and a genuine love for animals.

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.
About: having grown up with cats and dogs, no home feels complete without a pet. i truly understand that animals become a part of the family and with a flexible “work-from-anywhere-with-wifi” career i can provide your pet with the love, care, and attention they deserve and need. both mobile and childfree, i can travel throughout the okanagan valley (or the Pacific Northwest for the right match). I am experienced from playful puppies to sugar-faced seniors and from kittens to cranky cats. no furry friend is too big or small! i work a flexible job, fully remotely so I can keep your pet company while working M-F. I am a Peachland loca: mobile, fit, young-ish, and childfree with most evenings and weekends open to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs. as a long time dog owner i believe in positive reinforcement training and will encourage good behaviour by rewarding with pre-approved treats. I observe dog body language to only touch or cuddle as much, or as little, as your pet may want. I completely understand being away from you family can be unsettling so your pets comfort is my ultimate priority :)
About: I have worked in animal medicine for 27 years and owned/operated my own pet sitting business. I love all animals and have cared for birds, pocket pets, dog and cats. I am comfortable giving oral/topical and injections (ex. Insulin). Two years ago I spent a year getting certified in animal hospice and palliative care. I know leaving a little old timer at home is stressful and requires someone with advanced caregiving skills. I welcome dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, rodents and small reptiles. I am working from home. Animals who are cared for in our home are rarely alone. I can be available for visits during daytime or evenings. I have a quarter acre fenced yard. We have a pug named Bruce and a border collie named Biscuit. We live in a bi-level home in a quiet neighbourhood close to hiking trails that we frequent often. Pocket pets enjoy their own room and birds are upstairs with outdoor lookout.
About: I have been taking care of animals for over 20 years. I started out at a young age taking care of neighbours and friends animals. I spent some time volunteering for various animal societies. I regularly support the BC SPCA. I am responsible and professional. I have open availability and I am typically available everyday. I love to get out on dog walks and hikes on my property, I live on 70 acres and being outdoor with animals is a given! There is a large grassed area here, rocky areas and a creek. I have animal crates if your dog is kennel trained. I live in the garden suite, there is safe area for just cats or everyone to be together and often where the dogs hang out with me in the living room when we aren't out on walks or hikes.
About: I have spent my entire life with pets. Since I was a little girl to present day as an 24 year old strongly dedicated to her studies and a responsible young lady prepared to take on all the challenges life gives to her. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats, they are very friendly and love to meet new friends. I am available pretty much all the time. I can teach dog tricks, cuddle them, love them and make them feel like a member to the family within minutes. I never leave my pets alone, I make sure they are always busy unless they are tired! I highly respect animals and strongly believe they should be treated as our equals! I currently work as an airline employee and this would be a wonderful gig to do on the side as I have a lot of down time being on reserve. I am a very active and outdoorsy person, and already spend multiple hours per day doing things with my dog, this would be a wonderful addition to my current routine. I ensure they are always fed, and have water, I also am always around to entertain the dogs and/or cats. With my animals at home I take them to dog parks, to the ocean or somewhere to go swimming, I meet up with friends for doggie play dates if I do not want to go to the dog park. I also always have toys or bones for them to play with and I am really big on training, so I always have training treats with me to continuously keep that bond going.

“So grateful that Charlie is well taken care of. He gets so much play time and I love receiving updates and pictures of him having fun! Thank you so much again.”
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!
“Morgan was absolutely amazing with Mellow! From the moment we met, it was clear how loving and attentive she is. She treated Mellow like her own, made sure she was comfortable and happy, and even helped administer her eye drops medication. Morgan was also incredibly flexible and kind about pickup time, which made everything stress-free. I felt completely at ease knowing Mellow was in such good hands. I would 1000% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Morgan!”
“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.”
“Anothai and Mersad went above and beyond to care for our dog. We had multiple photo and video updates and we were so at ease knowing our dog had such a loving home while we were away. Thank you both again for everything! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a great home away from home for their Pup!”
“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.”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“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”
“Julie has always been very accommodating for now a few of my last minute, out-of-town trips! Miska loves going to her place and she always updates me with what they’re up to and how she’s doing! Julie is my Go-to Rover sitter!!”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
