“Katrina was wonderful with my dog Rusty. She took him for walks and provided regular updates and photos of how he was doing. I will seek out Katrina’s services again to watch my big dog.”
“Our dogs love to spend time with Joseph and Tina. They are comfortable with the surroundings and feel completely at home. The yard is amazing and Joseph and Tina make frequent visits to the dog park to get them out and to socialize. We could not be happier with the care Charlie and Murphy receive.”
About: Our daughter would like to take the lead. She is new to pet sitting but has a way with all animals. Mom has dog and cat sitting experience from before kids and also had a dog growing up. We are mostly available for weekend jobs. With notice we can usually work a Monday or Friday in. We are open to weekday stays but we work out of the house so it’s a long day for the animals in the house. We have a fenced yard and are open to crate trained or free range animals. Your animals will become part of our family during their stay.
“Great experience for my first time using rover. When I usually take my dog to the kennel, it’s about 40 bucks a night so definitely a lot more expensive but at least I know he was in good hands and wasn’t with 1 million other dogs being neglected., very accommodating, polite, and knowledgable”
“Once again Carol G as done a fantastic job looking after Gus our 4lb Yorki. this is Carol the second time for 2 weeks at each time. Gus had a great time at Carols house.

Carol will always be our first call when we book another holiday. Book Carol and you we be as relax as we were. Thank Carol for a perfect holiday. Brent Judy and Gus.”

“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.”
“Best experience ever for my two little 5 pound dogs! We had never left them overnight before so we were a bit anxious but the regular photos and videos made it very clear they did not miss us at all! I will definitely take them back and Gina made us feel like we were old friends from way back. This was a 10/10 experience!”
“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!”

About: I spent 4 years working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of every breed, size, and temperament. I managed playgroups and kept schedules on track. I was also a dog owner for 12 wonderful years, so I know what it takes to keep a dog healthy and loved. My family has now been fostering dogs for about a year now, which has taught me how to help shy or anxious dogs adjust to a new home. Between the daycare, my own dog, and fostering, I've built years of real experience. I'd love to give your dog the same care and attention I gave my own! I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays throughout the week, and I can adjust timing to match your dog's usual schedule. I follow your routine exactly, keep things tidy, stick to feeding and walk schedules, and always watch doors and gates to keep your dog safe. I'll send updates so you know how things are going!
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my kittens! Morgayne did a fantastic job caring for them, including managing medication every 12 hours. She kept my home spotless while staying there. Her communication was excellent, with frequent updates, and it was clear my kittens adored her. I felt completely confident leaving them in her care and recommend her without hesitation.”
“Laura was responsive, flexible, and thorough. She took great care of my kitties (including vacuuming up their messes!) and provided photos of them enjoying her company. Would book with her again in a heartbeat.”
“Brooke & James took care of our 2 cats for a month (drop in visits every other day). They sent picture updates on every visit and our kittens seemed to get along great with them. Brooke & James were friendly and professional with their service. I would recommend them for anyone who needs reliable pet sitters!”
“Chloé went ABOVE and beyond to accommodate us and make sure our fur babies were well taken care of. My husband had a medical emergency while away which delayed our trip, and Chloe stepped up and made sure our cats were OK. It was so comforting getting pictures and videos daily and she responded very quickly if we have a question or reached out to her. 100% would use her again and have raved about her to friends and family already. Your pets are in the best hands with Chloe!!!”
About: I’m a dedicated cat lover and proud cat mom to two of my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I have hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, and giving lots of cuddles (or space, depending on your cat’s personality!). Whether your cat is high-energy or a cuddly princess who rules the house, I’m comfortable adjusting to their needs. I’ll treat your cat like one of my own 💛
“Rhian was a good cat sitter. I appreciated she anticipated outcomes if I didn’t make it back on time. She checked to see if I made it back for Astrid’s sake and that was appreciated. She was reliable and I would recommend her.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Sarah’s calm, kind nature and how wonderful she was with our beloved pet cat Hannie. Hannie bonded with Sarah straight away and we felt very comfortable leaving Hannie with her. Not only was Sarah a wonderful pet sitter, she did odd jobs around the house as well. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone as a house/pet splitter in their home.”
“Leah is fantastic! She went above and beyond to care for my cat while I was away. From the meet and greet, it was clear she had a natural rapport with animals and immediately put my mind at ease. My cat, who is usually very shy around new people, warmed up to her! Throughout the sitting, Leah provided regular updates with photos which was incredibly reassuring since this was my first time using Rover. She followed all my care instructions perfectly and even took extra steps to ensure my cat was happy and comfortable, such as engaging in playtime and giving her favourite treats. Leah also took great care of my home, keeping everything tidy. Leah is a reliable, compassionate, and professional cat sitter and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Tamara was great! I have an old finicky cat and she was more than willing to accommodate his needs. Thorough and transparent communication, responsible and took care of my house like it was her own. I would recommend her anytime (except when I will need her again lol!)”
About: I've taken care of cats for 10 years. I have had my own cats while growing up and house sat for several clients and taken care of their cat when they are away on holidays sometimes for months at a time. Some had cat doors some I had to let out and in. I always made sure they were well taken care of with feeding times and making sure they were safe at night and cared for and loved during the day.
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and I frequently house sit for friends, neighbours, and family members cats. I’m pretty flexible with check-in times, and happy to play for a while, do a quick tidy or just provide some company. Personally, I’m in my final year of studies at UBCO, and I spend my free time hiking, reading or—perhaps unfortunately, studying.
About: My name is Sarah, I am passionate about looking after fur-babies & nothing makes me happier than seeing our pets be their happiest fluffiest selves. I have a cat and dog of my own and understand the importance of regular pee breaks, long walks & lots of attention. I also am in tune when understanding when they are trying to let you know they need something. I promise to keep you updated and give your fur baby all the love they need!

Whether you have a puppy who needs a playdate or a senior cat who just needs a bit of company, I’m happy to help! I work part time and my hours are fairly flexible, so I’m available during most times of the day. I can do half an hour or hour long visits, whatever your pet needs! For drop in visits, I can travel anywhere from Vernon to Salmon Arm. I have lots of experience with cats and dogs, and I’m comfortable with exotic pets as well.

Whether your pet is furry, scaly, or lives in water, I will give everything I have to make sure they are well taken care of. Your rules and boundaries are of the utmost importance and you can count on me to follow through making sure your pet has consistency in your absence. Nutrition and exercise are top priorities but just as important is your pet's emotional well-being. It is hard on everyone to be a part and it is my responsibility to help your loved one through the anxiety and fear that can come from separation. When you return from being away, you will be greeted with a healthy happy animal ready to spend quality time with you. I currently work from home on my own schedule and terms. This makes it easy for me to take care of your pet anytime during the day. Your rules, guidelines and wishes are my top priority. I will follow your requests as I strongly believe consistency creates a happy well behaved pet.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep understanding of animal behavior and my ability to tailor care to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with everything from training energetic puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets who need extra patience and comfort. I’m skilled in administering medication, handling special dietary needs, and recognizing signs of stress or illness early on. I am available for boarding on weekdays, weekends and holidays. I will have plenty of time to play with your pup! Sometimes I work one-two days a week. In my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and enrichment activities tailored to their needs. Whether it’s daily walks, interactive toys, or a cozy spot to relax, I make sure they feel at home. I maintain a clean space, follow their feeding and medication schedules, and ensure they receive plenty of attention and affection.
“Marcella was fantastic! She took my little dog on short notice and I felt comfortable with her right away. Her home is beautiful, welcoming, and clearly set up with dogs in mind. Her dog Winston is incredibly sweet and friendly, and was great with my little guy from the moment they met. It’s obvious she genuinely loves dogs and has lots of experience with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my pup with her again and will definitely be using her services in the future.”
“Tamara took great care of Cactus!! They went on a hike and I got lots of great pics. She was a great and friendly communicator who responded quickly. I would definitely send Cactus back to spend another day with Tamara!”
“Great sitter! Mia had such an amazing time there. Big space to play and run. We loved all the photos she sent us during the day, and how clean she was even after going in the water and playing in the yard. Highly recommended! See you next time!”
About: I have a lifetime of experience working with all sorts of dogs, including puppies, elderly dogs and dogs requiring special care and/or medications. I am also experienced in dog training and grooming. I’m currently a student meaning I spend most of my time at home. Doing online classes can make it difficult to have typical a 9-5 job, being one of the reasons I started dog walking and sitting. As well as it being a passion I’ve had since a very early age. I have a home with a fenced in open space for your fur-babies. As well as many hiking trails located nearby for your pups to explore! Potty breaks every two hours as well as 2-4 walks a day.
About: Hello, my name is Teresa and I'm dog walker who is Walks and Wags Certified with Pet First Aid. I've also taken International Academy of Canine Trainers Certified Professional Dog Walker program. I'm an animal lover and have had pets all of my life. I especially love dogs of all shapes and sizes and am looking forward to taking care of your dog either as a dog walker or just for home visits to play and make sure that he/she is fine while you are at work. I'm happy to visit both young puppers and more senior doggos - as we all know your dog is the 'best dog ever' and I'm happy to treat your dog like my own! Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I work remotely so am happy to have your dog as company to my own two fur babies! My yard is fenced so there is no fear for them to run in our backyard. I allow pets on furniture but do make sure that their paws are clean and that they do not rough house in the house. As I am working at home I can monitor them as well.
“I recently visited Kelowna and needed someone to take care of my dog, Aki, on short notice. I was incredibly fortunate to find Suzanne. She was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I contacted her, she was friendly and accommodating. She took Aki in without hesitation and provided ample space for her to run and play. It was clear that she truly understands and loves dogs. Aki was well looked after, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Suzanne to anyone in need of pet care. Her kindness and dedication to Aki's well-being made all the difference during my trip.”
“Tessa looked after Wes for a few days while I was in town working and Wes just loved his time with her! She's an awesome person and I would highly recommend her! Will definitely reach out next time im in town! Thanks Tessa!”
“We had a great experience with Anothai and Mersad watching our dog Molly today. They are such a kind and caring husband-and-wife team, and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. 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!!! 😍😍😍”
“Emilie was amazing. I required a safe, cool place to leave Ranger for an hour everyday for the week, and Emilie's condo was absolutely perfect for that! The fact that she worked from home and was able to be flexible with pickup and drop-off times was amazing and even allowed me to get a few dog free longer bike rides in while I was visiting Kelowna. Ranger seemed completely comfortable with both Emilie and her pup Jacki, though I'm sure her Jacki was unimpressed with my tired dog that just wanted to sleep in the A/C for a few hours! Everything went perfectly smooth and I would definitely use Emilie again!”
“Westerly spent a few days with Tania & her hubby and he loved it! They are great people with a lovely home and I could relax knowing Wes was looked after during the days while I was at work. He was always happy to go back when I dropped him off the next day. Will definitely be booking in future when I'm back in town for work!”
“Emma and her partner took real good care of Allie! Allie had a great time playing with Tilley. Their place is also very tidy and clean. I appreciate Emma being able to accommodate me last minute as I needed to go for a medical appointment and my original sitter fell through. Thanks Emma! Would love to book with you again!”
“It’s clear that Erica and David truly love dogs! Winston had a wonderful time with them and enjoyed going to the dog park and spending time with their two dogs. He had great company and was clearly well cared for. We’re so happy with the experience and will definitely book with them again. Thank you both for taking such great care of Winston!”

“Absolutely lovely couple. Prompt, professional, and they very obviously love what they do. They'll be watching our dog over the holidays, so we'd set up some walks beforehand to get the dog comfortable with them. When he came home, I thought he was going to try to leave with them! Highly recommended.”

About: 🐾 What Sets Me Apart 🐾 I have had pets my whole life. Since I was a young child. We always had dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters and fish. I loved taking care of them but since getting older I have not had a chance to have my own as I generally am in rentals that don't allow pets so I love to look after others when they are away. I treat every pet like my own, catering to their unique needs, routines and quirks. I am experienced & trustworthy – I have years of experience with dogs & cats of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. Clients often call me the pet whisperer as their pet comes to me willingly when they might not with others because of my calm, gentle and grounded personality. As a trauma recovery coach specializing in nervous system regulation, I create a soothing and safe environment for pets, especially anxious or rescue animals. I take your dogs on engaging walks, engage in interactive play with your pets and give mindful attention to their well-being, not just basic care. I am flexible & reliable – I work around your schedule to ensure stress-free pet care. I work from home as I am a Trauma Recovery Coach so I see my clients online. I generally help clients regulate their nervous system or give them mindfulness practices. So I am often doing meditations with them or calming sessions with them. I take breaks in between clients and go for walks so can be sure to give your pet the extra attention it needs. I generally go to your home to take care of your pet. I do have a yard with a fence right now though which is helpful.

About: **PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING** Hi there! My name is Melissa. I have been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. Some people call me the dog whisperer but I'm not here to brag ;) A little About Me… My dog Daisy is the love of my life so I completely understand how scary it can be leaving your precious fur babies with a stranger. My hope is to make sure that both dogs and owners are comfortable and happy with allowing me to take care of their pets while they are busy or away. Which is why I always meet pet parents before booking with me. I have owned and cared for puppies, adult and senior dogs. I treat all dogs as if they were my own. I promise, I will love and care for your pet with patience and compassion. I can walk dogs and check in on pets multiple times a day.

It is pet specific.
About: I bring hands-on experience with puppy and kitten development, training, reactivity management, socialization, agility training and pets medical, dietary and behavioural needs. I’m observant, patient and comfortable adapting care to each animal’s temperament and routine. I have owned and cared for dogs from Boston terriers to Pitbull Sharpeis, and have managed through every obstacle possible with two sassy rescue cats, as well as provided pet sitting and boarding in my network, many times through the years. Most recently I provided daily walks, drop ins and training sessions to my neighbour and his Husky pup for 3mo earlier this year. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I’m currently flexible and available for house sitting, drop-ins and walks. I’m comfortable building my day around a pet’s established feeding, exercise, training and care routine. I prioritize a calm, clean and secure environment, following your instructions and keeping pets’ routines as consistent as possible. I use attentive supervision, clear boundaries and positive reinforcement, while treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Great experience for my first time using rover. When I usually take my dog to the kennel, it’s about 40 bucks a night so definitely a lot more expensive but at least I know he was in good hands and wasn’t with 1 million other dogs being neglected., very accommodating, polite, and knowledgable”

Thank you both again for everything! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a great home away from home for their Pup!”
“Susanna and Claude were great. I have 2 very senior dogs and they took them for leasurely strolls at their pace and sent me lots of pic updates. They even had a family emergency and still made sure that the doggos were taken care of. Definitely recommended!”
“Yolanda, you were amazing babysitter for Rex. I appreciate you putting Rex first while you were looking after him. You were a great dog sitter. Dealing with you Yolanda was incredible experience, you were kind, very Understanding, accepting to all my demands. It was pleasure dealing with you.”
“Rodd was amazing! First he drove to meet us closer to where we were staying. He had a great vehicle spot for our dog to lay during the drive. He took him for walks and played with him. He also sent videos throughout the day! Highly recommend Rodd!!”
“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!!”
About: I am a responsible and well-experienced pet caregiver who would treat your fur baby like they were my own. I have had animals in my life since childhood, including cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, horses, chickens, ducks, rodents...you name it, I have probably had it! For dogs, I am available for walks, hikes, in-home sitting, overnight boarding, training, feeding, medication administration, belly rubs, nail trims, and playing fetch and/or other games for stimulation and enrichment. I am confident with all sizes and breeds of dogs. For cats, I am available for drop-in visits, in-home sitting, overnight boarding, feeding, administering medications, nail trims, and providing snuggles. I will also care for reptiles, birds & farm animals of all kinds (just not in my home of course, haha). Most recently I had a cat and a dog, both of whom I said goodbye to earlier in 2026 - so now I looking to fulfill my love for animals by caring for others' babies. Please reach out if you think it may be a good fit! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I am easily able to schedule my day around your pet's needs. I am also easily able to bring my work with me, so I can house-sit / pet-sit at your home if that is the preference. There is a beautiful pond and park with walking trails within 200m of my home. I have an outdoor enclosed patio to provide a safe outdoor space for animals (and me!). I also live within walking distance to Knox Mountain where I frequently go for longer hikes (5-10km). I work from home and am a home-body, so your pet would almost always have company, with minimal time alone. I am willing to follow your pet's home routine as closely as possible, and am able to crate your pet when I do leave them alone, if that is your preference.
“Viktorria was able to take Maggie for us on really short notice! She sent many pictures and videos of her on walks and cuddling on the couch. Gave us peace of mind while we were away for 3 nights. Thanks so much for looking after Maggie for us!”
About: I have owned at least one dog for 20 years and have fostered dogs for the last 15 years. We excel at chilling and enjoying the outdoors (walking/hiking). I am open to pup sitting 7 days a week, at your house or mine. I will take great care of your pet like it is my own! As a recent retiree, I have flexible time to take care of your pup(s). I am available 7 days a week and will care for your dog like it is my own...and mine are pretty spoiled. Although I do not have a yard, I enjoy walking my dogs and playing with them inside and out. My 2 dogs are easy going and will keep your pup company. My house is really a big dog house. They are allowed to snuggle on a dog bed or on the couch.
“Riley can be anxious in new environments and has never been away for more than a few days. We did a meet and greet prior to her stay and were happy when we came to drop her off and she ran into the house without a second glance. Chalan and Joel provided a loving home, and Riley also loved the attention from their two daughters. They communicated and sent photos during the stay. I would have no hesitation recommending them.”
“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 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!”
