“Casie and Neil were wonderful and took such good care of our pups! We loved their efficient communication and all the pics and updates while we were away. We were visiting from out of town and they were super accommodating which we really appreciated.”

About: As a dog and cat mom myself, I know first hand how difficult it can be to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and nurturing to care for one’s pets. I am dedicated to alleviating that worry and stress by providing professional, compassionate, high quality care when pet parents can’t be there. A former vet tech, I am especially perceptive and attuned to a pet’s medical needs, understand and adhere to veterinary instructions, and am trained to observe changes in an animal’s physical condition. I am also insured, licensed and bonded, and trained in Pet First Aid. In addition, I am a certified dog walker through the dog*tec Dog Walking Academy. The only program of its kind for dog walkers, this widely respected program covers a comprehensive array of topics critical to professional dog walking, including canine behaviour, basic training predicated on positive reinforcement, management, and First Aid and safety protocols. I have been a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner for 4 years. I offer positive reinforcement training such as clicker training, loose leash walking, go to mat, recall, name recognition, sit, stay, leave it, reorient towards handler when crossing threshold (i.e. going through doorway). I also offer potty training advice and how to manage puppy biting. Hint: puppy biting is normal as they learn to explore their world. I provide tips and advice on how to help get through this sometimes scary, yet normal puppy development stage. 🤗 Currently available weekdays of dog walks. Currently available weekdays and weekends for drop in cat care. I have my own dog and cats and know that pets thrive on routine and consistency. I arrive for visits as scheduled. Happy greetings for dogs and cats. Dog walking: harnessed/leashed and depart for our walk. Arrival back home: take walking gear (harness/leash) off, refresh water, play or TLC time. Cat drop in visits: feeding and refresh water, give meds if applicable, scoop litter boxes. Then playtime or quiet time depending on cat’s preference.
About: • 10+ years of personal pet care with dogs and cats of my own throughout the years since birth • empathy toward animals and 2 loving pets of my own currently •well versed with adult dogs with some knowledge of raising non special care puppies and kittens Availability will vary from week to week as my weeks change with my own pets and husbands schedule! My range for times is anywhere from 11am-10pm. Care for my dogs involves daily walking and play as well as mealtimes and relax time. Dietary requirements and some medication administration are things I am confident with.
About: Animal lover with a lot of free time. I recently had to put my jack russell down after rescuing her 9 years ago and am not ready to add another fur baby permanently to my life at this time. I absolutely love dogs and your pet will be very well looked after in my care. I would love to spend time with dogs of all breeds while I fill this void as I'm missing having my little doggo around. I have my niece in my home part time who is currently enrolled in dog handling and very experienced with different breeds. I love nature and going for walks and I live close to many parks and trails. Looking forward to spending time with your animals💕
“Sydney came to drop in on our little man Remy while my partner and myself were on a camping trip over the weekend :) she has awesome communication, sends photos and makes sure we’re up to date on everything! We’re very grateful for her services and would definitely book her again!!”
About: My love for dog stems from when I was a wee little girl. I used to walk the dogs at my parents boat slip! They would ask "where is Jenna?" and see me petting and walking all the dogs! I got my first dog at 12 and was inlove with these furry little creatures ever since. I also foster and train rescue dogs and specialize in positive reinforcement. I believe all dogs are good dogs and deserve a loving environment to flourish. I have a flexible schedule at work as I work 90 percent from home so I have lots of availability during the week and on weekends. I have a fenced yard, dog friendly neighborhood with lots of trails and a very friendly 7 year old rescue who loves all dogs to help your dog feel at ease.
“We have a large shy dog that we are trying to socialize with people in our home. Taiyler has been patient, kind and compassionate with our pup as he learns! We highly recommend her for any of your pup or dog needs. ?”
About: Hi, I'm Marley- I'm actually a vet tech. I don't live with any pets right now so I love to house-sit other people's! So, if you have any geriatric pets, puppies, or even want me to teach your pet a few tricks I can! I work full time, typically from 8-5. Otherwise I am free and happy to take care of pets. Please let me know if there are any special needs. Everything depends on your pet. I'll take care of them as if they were one of mine! Though, I'd love earn about their needs prior. So I can best tailor my service to them. Eg. If they need medication, have anxiety, or anything else.
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.
About: I have cared for animals for my family members, friends, co-workers, and neighbours for as long as I can remember. I have experience caring for a variety of different animals with different needs. I have experience giving medicine to dogs and cats including using syringes for oral medicine, and in-ear topical medicine. I also have a food-motivated dog who is skilled at getting into things she shouldn’t, so I am well-aware of what human foods are toxic for dogs and I am overly cautious about making sure animals do not have access to anything potentially dangerous. My family has always had cats and dogs in our home, so I know how important it is to treat them like the valued family members they are. I am currently applying to be an on-call teacher so my schedule is very open and will remain flexible. If I accept a request on Rover, I will make sure my sole focus is on your pet’s care. As I am only available to provide care in your home, I will ensure your home is cared for and remains a safe space for your pet whenever I pop-in or stay. I am overly cautious about pet safety and will be sure your pet is secure and does not have access to anything potentially dangerous.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kamloops
If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! Taryn stepped in to look after my mom’s cat when she ended up in the hospital and subsequently long-term care. I live in Calgary, and having Taryn come in every day and take care of Greta was such peace of mind. She wasn’t constant contact with me for things Greta needed, and I really appreciated the daily picture updates.
Rena is always such a delight to have as a sitter :) She really takes the time with my pet (who can be a lot) and gives him all the attention he needs. She’s professional, caring and understanding with my pets needs and mine as a pet parent. Couldn’t recommend more
5/5 Stars — Exceptional Care! Cathrine was absolutely wonderful with my mini Australian Shepherd, Mac! She is so kind, gentle, and truly knows how to speak the language of pets. He was completely at ease with her. She provided prompt updates with great photos of their walks, which gave me complete peace of mind. On top of that, she was incredibly flexible and accommodating when I had to make last-minute arrangements. She is attentive, trustworthy, and clearly passionate about providing top-tier care. I highly recommend Cathrine to anyone looking for an incredible dog walker and will definitely be booking with her again!
Bianca, our cat sitter did a tremendous job in looking after our 2 senior cats. She was pleasant, followed our instructions and contacted us about having left a window open. Her conscienceousness put our minds at ease; we had a stress-free holiday knowing our furry babies were in good hands. Thank you Biance. Sinerely Kandae Allen, BC Interior
Casie provided excellent care for our puppy while we attended a soccer tournament in the city. She was very reassuring as this was our first time leaving our puppy. I was grateful she had a fenced yard so he could happily roam around unleashed. We received pictures and excellent communication overall. Will definitely reach out next time the need arises when we are in Kamloops.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kamloops is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 85 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Kamloops. About 97% of Kamloops sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
