“Katherine was able to check in on our 3 cats for us pretty last minute, and everything went very smoothly! She communicated well, sent picture updates, and we came home to happy kittens :) would book her again!”

About: Hello! I have lived with dogs & cats numerous times over the years and miss being around them! I grew up with many small animals well loved including a tarantula, gold fish, frogs, budgies, and a cockatiel. I have owned two guinea pigs as an adult and absolutely spoiled them with a massive cage and toys, to make up for the one I had as a kid I didn't know how to take care of and have extensive knowledge with them. I also have experience watching bearded dragons, crested geckos, and other small animals. I love looking up information on different animals and breeds as I get to know them and further my knowledge. Thank you for considering me! I work part-time and attend school. Caring for animals is a wonderful way to relax and enjoy life and the personalities that all different animals offer. I am very cautious with plants, things left on the floor, food sensitives and any instructions and needs that the animal has to offer, and you request to feel reassured leaving your pet in my hands.
“Daria does not disappoint! She is reliable and caring! She is very much in tune with your pets emotions and is sensitive to their needs! Daria is punctual and a great communicator!!! We are forever grateful for the care she provides Griffey when we have to leave him for longer periods of time!”
About: Hey there, my name is Trinity and I am a HUGE animal lover.I am great at following instructions if your pet is needy or a bit of a handful. I have experience taking care of all sorts of animals since I was a little girl, this includes young and elderly animals.I have also taken care of an elderly cat for an acquaintance multiple times(feeding, cleaning, administering medications, etc.) for extended periods (1 week- 6 months). Furthermore, I have taken care of multiple animals for coworkers and acquaintances on multiple occasions (walking, feeding, and coming up with creative ways to get them to take their medicine! lol). I have now watched dozens of cats and dogs varying in size and breed and have plenty of experience to feel confident in watching any animal, big, small, or even difficult! I am new to rover but not new to animals and how they should be cared for, please message me if you have any questions! I also have plenty of other positive reviews from off app animal sitting jobs if you would like more assurance! Just ask! I'm currently in school, so I have plenty of time to feed, play and care for your pets even on short notice! I have lived and cared for pets my whole life until just this past two months, I am missing my little furry buddies! I want to assure you that I take your beloved pets needs seriously and am grateful for the clients who have trusted me to take care of such precious animals in the past. In addition, if I am looking after your home I will treat your home with the utmost respect and will follow all directions needed to make you feel comfortable whilst your away
“Angela was so professional and supportive while assisting me with delivering my cat her meds. I am a long time cat owner, but the new to me cat is the first I have had who absolutely needs to be put in a "purrito" or she will run away and hide and spit up all of the medicine. Angela was so gentle with our cat and her kind approach helped us learn strategies to give kitty medications in the future. Sometimes you just need a professional. We appreciated Angela's help so incredibly much.”
“Viktoriia is an awesome dog walker. She responds quickly to our requests. She is friendly, committed, timely and most importantly our dog really looks forward to her arrival and walks. Thanks Viktoriia.”
About: I've grown up with pets and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Whether your pup loves lounging on the couch or going on an adventurous hike, I'm happy to match their vibe. I’m also comfortable with senior care and basic puppy training, so your pet will be in good hands, no matter their age or needs. Since I work from home most days, I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I can easily fit in walks, playtime, or cozy check-ins throughout the day to keep your furry friend happy and comfortable. Being home means I’m always nearby, ready to give your pet the attention they need whenever they need it. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, calm environment where they can feel relaxed and loved. I stick to their usual routines as much as possible, including feeding, playtime, and rest. When I care for pets in their own homes, I respect their space and follow any instructions carefully to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Whether at my place or theirs, my goal is to provide consistent, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs.
About: Graduated veterinary assistant with previous clinic experience caring for animals of all ages. I love looking after all kinds of animals and I’m always excited to learn about new pets so I can provide compassionate and reliable care! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, as I’m currently available during both weekdays and weekends. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and quality care to your pets while prioritizing their needs and routines. While I’m unable to care for other pets in my own home due to having high anxiety dogs, I’m happy to provide care in yours. Whether you’re away on a trip or at work, I can stop by for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks and medication administration if needed.
“Toni is amazing! She did drop off visits for my french bulldog for about 2 weeks. He’s a bougie little guy who gets his lunch meal prepped (due to pancreatitis) and heated up. She came by for about an hour everyday and fed him/ took him out. She also took the time to do drop by introduction before taking care of him. After the first visit he was waiting by the door looking for her the entire night when I get home. If I afford to hire her full time I would. Highly recommend trying her out if you need someone to care for your pets!”
“We would 100% ask Elisabeth to watch our two cats again. Both girls took to her quickly (which never happens!), and Elisabeth sent photos and updates during our trip. She made the process easy, is a strong communicator, and put us at ease. Highly recommend! :)”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old and have always had dogs in my family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I love getting dogs out for walks, but I’m just as happy spending time with the little cuddle buddies who prefer relaxing on the couch. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already enjoy making time for walks, outdoor activities, and relaxing at home with a furry cuddle buddy. I can plan morning and evening walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins around my work schedule, with additional flexibility on weekends. I’m organized and will always make sure your pet receives consistent care, attention, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll carefully follow their usual routine, feeding instructions, walking preferences, and any special care needs. I’ll keep doors and gates secure, use a leash during walks, and make sure their environment is clean and free from anything unsafe. I’ll also give them plenty of attention, respect their boundaries, and send regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve had and lived with dogs my entire life; I actively enjoy and love walking and hanging out with dogs of all types and sizes. As a full time worker and a student, having some down time with your pets is my honour! Typically I am away for work most of the day, however am thrilled to take care of them both before, after and in the evenings. Gives me a mental break, and you relief that your pets are in good hands. I grew up walking all sorts big dogs, small dogs, fluffy or tough dogs. I am not shy of a leash or commanding if need be.
About: I am a university student at UBCO living at home with my family and 2 dogs. This gives me the unique flexibility to stay overnight and care for pets on short notice. I have had dogs my whole life, and currently have a senior rescue, and a puppy at home. This gives me the experience I need to care for all kinds of dogs, well trained, not yet trained, puppies, seniors, rescues, purebreds etc. I have been dog and cat sitting for family friends several times a year for over 3 years since high school. I am a very responsible person, extremely reliable, and communicate well. I love the outdoors and going for walks, as well as lazy days at home. I have a very flexible school and work schedule. I am a student at UBCO and have several 3-4 hour gaps in my day which I can come home and spend time with the pets. I am done my classes around dinner time, and can come straight home for the evening. On the weekends, I am a server at a restaurant in town and generally only work 4-6 hour shifts. This means I am around for the majority of the day. I have been dog walking for many years as I have had dogs my whole life. With clients, I try and keep the pet’s routine as similar as possible to their owner’s. I like to be around as much as possible and keep the pets as comfortable as they can be while their owner is away.
“I’ve had Yolanda do two drop-in visits in my home for my two pups (16 month old labradoodles) and she did a great job. She took them for a little stretch break and sent pics during the visit, etc. Both pups were calm when I got home and she had no problem with their little routine. Glad I called her and will have her back to hang out with my pups again!”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Kelowna is $25
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Kelowna
Alison is amazing! Definitely a cat whisperer! One of my cats runs and hides if he sees there is someone at the door he doesn't know. When Alison came to the door for the first time, he actually approached for some pets! I am so impressed by the genuine care she has for my kitties and the time she put in to understanding the routine they have, as well as all my high maintenance things I do for them. Also, great at keeping up communications. And when the unexpected happens while you're away, you can definitely rely on her to handle it! Overall, one of the best cat sitters and home sitters I've ever had!
My partner and I have been experiencing a family emergency that has required us to be away from our home. Paige has done an excellent job taking care of our sweet kitty named Kits. Paige is reliable, always on time, and great at maintaining communication. Paige has gone above and beyond to help us by providing exceptional care for Kits during this time. We appreciate Paige very much.
Jocelynn was absolutely amazing with Fen. Fen can be sometimes skittish around new people, but she was able to connect with her quite easily. She was good with administering pills orally via mouth so if you have a senior animal like me with medical issues they will be in good hands. A++ and will definitely book her again.
Shana is honestly the best, takes the time to make sure the animals are cared for and spends time with them every time she stops by. I feel so at peace being gone knowing my animals are in such good hands. I’ll never book anyone else unless I absolutely have to!! Absolutely the best and just a genuine and kind hearted human.
Fen was so kind to look after our girls - even though they're cats! We booked late, but Fen ensured a meet & greet occurred ahead of time to learn of our cats' picky needs. We received photos and updates twice each day, and Fen was never hard to get ahold of, responding quickly every time. The cats are happy and felt comfortable enough to come out and socialise, even though they typically hide. I would book Fen again in a heartbeat and think you should, too!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
