“Brita was easy to communicate with before and during the sit which made making arrangements super easy. Her pet care was great and we got daily pics of our dogs. She left the place in immaculate condition and our pets are calm and clearly cared for.”
“Emry watched my lab while I was away for 4 days. She was amazing! During our meet and greet I explained that my pup has some bad behaviours I have been working on and that I was on a search for someone who was comfortable in taking on watching him while I was away. She was very supportive and explained it wouldn’t be an issue. She kept me updated with videos and pictures while I was away and explained what they did during their days together. She went above and beyond. I highly highly recommend booking with Emry! I know I will be again.”
“Taryn was great with our dogs! She was very communicative and answered all our questions. She sent pictures while we were away so we knew they were having a good time! Will be rebooking for future trips!”
About: I am a lifelong dog owner, and currently have a very high-energy red heeler. I have lots of experience in dog care and have participated in obedience, rally obedience, and agility with my dogs. I have years of experience as a foster for rescue dogs with unique and challenging behavioural issues. I lead a very active life and my dog is my adventure sidekick through it all! I work full-time remotely so my schedule is quite flexible in terms of being able to provide several walks and bathroom breaks during the day. I have a fenced yard, and live close to a large park, dog park, and dog-friendly beach. I also regularly drive away from town for hikes. Outdoor exercise & enrichment is a priority for us and we'd love to share that with your pets.
“Marley did a great job staying at my apartment and watching my dog. He was happy and mellow when I returned! I appreciated Marley’s willingness to get to know my dog and follow along with some of the training I’m currently working on with him. I will definitely call Marley next time I need a dog sitter!”
About: Growing up I have been raised with cats & dogs, and have spent my teenage years volunteering for the SPCA. I have also spent some time working on a ranch, which gave me hands-on experience caring for animals, including puppies. I’ve primarily cared for Huskies, so I’m familiar with their high energy, exercise needs, and independent personalities. I also have experience handling high-energy and reactive or aggressive dogs, understanding the importance of patience, consistency, and reading canine body language. I personally rescued and raised my own bottle-fed kitten, which required frequent feedings and attentive, dedicated care. My own pup is also a rescue who started out scared and skittish. Through patience, consistency, and building trust, I’ve watched her grow in confidence, and we now participate in canicross races together! I have experience in administering medication for pets, along with working along side a dog obedience trainer. These experiences have taught me that every animal is different and deserves individualized care, understanding, and respect. Whether caring for puppies, supporting nervous pets, keeping energetic dogs active, or providing companionship, I’m committed to helping every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am currently working part time, and am happy to help with your furry family members when you need an extra hand! Whether it's walks, drop in visits, feeding or companionship! I will provide care for individual needs and routine; I can provide meals and fresh water, walks, exercise, playtime, companionship, medication if needed and instructed, litter box cleaning, and general pet-related tidying. I’m also comfortable crating dogs when needed and following your established routines for feeding, bathroom breaks, training, and rest. I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention while keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. I can also provide updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to help your pets feel secure in their own home and give you confidence that they’re being well cared for.
“Libby was great with my giant but shy dog. She updated me regularly, took great care of my house and was responsive to messages quickly. My dog was well taken care of and kept company and I had great peace of mind leaving him in her hands.”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life, I have some experience in training, I love dogs I would take care of your dog like it is my own I work at a landscaping company and I'm waiting for the snow to start working, and I get really bored around the house so walking your dog (s) would keep me busy I am careful to follow owner instructions and am observant of the dogs behaviour and temperament. I know how to stop a dog fight and prevent potential conflicts with other dogs who may be passing by. I will do what ever I need to do to keep your fur-baby safe and happy.
“Sydney was amazing ! Our fur babies were well loved and cared for the entire time. It eased the stress of being away knowing how spoiled they were . We would recommend her to anyone !!! ❤️”
“I can't get over how wonderful Nikki has been she sent me updates and pictures of my babies and she looked after my house very well I will most definitely be using her again in the future and beyond.”
“Elisha really goes above and beyond. I came back to my place clean, spotless, my pup happy and tired from playing. She was extremely communicative and easygoing when things came up. I can’t wait for our pups to play again! She’s super super sweet and absolutely loves animals (which shows) and my dog loved her. Can’t wait to book you again!”

Elizabeth was amazing! We have nothing but good things to say about having her house sit for us and our cat Gracie. She sent us daily photos and updates and kept the house clean and tidy for when we returned. Communication was always at the forefront which we greatly appreciated. We would definitely book with her again for any upcoming trips.
Jacky was great to deal with. She came by to meet our pups before we left and sent us updates while we were away. We felt very comfortable having her stay and knew our pups were in good hands. We would definitely recommend Jacky and book her again in the future :)
Rebecca was great caring for my senior reactive dog that requires daily medications. She was communicative and I felt at ease with her at home with Ernie. She accommodated my vacation schedule and went above and beyond to ensure Ernie was comfortable and supported. Thanks Rebecca!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kamloops maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kamloops walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kamloops choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
