“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!”
“I cannot express how amazing Ashley was with my puppy Chester. He was so calm and looked content as can be when I came home. Ashely followed the guidelines for Chester and was so respectful of our home. She was clear with communication and punctually with her recording/log of his car. I will for sure be asking Ashley to help with Chester again. ??”
“Kirstin did a great job! Chika and Phoebe really liked her. I was pleased that she followed all my detailed instructions with enthusiasm. When I came home the dogs were calm and relaxed.”
“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!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I had my own dog for over 10 years, and he unfortunately passed away last summer, so I’m looking to share some love with some pets who could use a little extra. I work full time, but I have flexibility in my schedule, and am always happy to swing by before or after work to visit/walk/feed, and I’m always happy to stay at your place and give that comfortable safe home space energy to your pets. Pets always get lots of love and snuggles if they like, or space if that’s what they’d prefer. Our pets are our family, and the deserve to be treated with the same love and care.
“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.”
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.
About: Lifelong pet owner with hands-on experience caring for family pets. Comfortable with feeding, walks, and giving lots of attention. Caring, dependable, and attentive. I treat every pet like my own and make sure you stay updated and worry-free. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I can adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs, whether that’s regular check-ins, playtime, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet. Having grown up with animals, I’m very attentive to their behavior and needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to house rules, to make sure your pet feels secure and at ease. I’m respectful of your home and prioritize cleanliness, safety, and clear communication, including regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
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.
“Kristi took such great care of our cat (including giving her medications and checking for signs of illness ) while we were away ! We didn’t have reception and felt so reassured she was on the job. Our cat didn’t event give us the usual cold shoulder when we got home.”
About: My experience with pets is life long! I grew up on a farm with all kinds of animals, worked on a horse farm and dog sat all throughout my teen years. I work in downtown Kelowna full time but my hours vary week by week. But I always have time for a nice long walk with your dog during the day! I do not offer pet care in my own home as I don't have the right outdoor space for it. I take great care to ensure your dog is safe, secure and happy during all walks and drop in visits. I also take great care when house sitting, making sure to leave it in even better condition than when I arrived.
About: Growing up on a hobby farm surrounded by a wide variety of animals, I was taught from a young age how to be a compassionate and attentive caregiver. My parents were active in professional dog breeding and showing, which provided me with extensive experience around diverse breeds, from Dobermans to Pomeranians. Over the past six years, I have also dedicated myself to training a medical service dog for my daughter, gaining hands-on experience in obedience, agility, and specialized care. My lifelong passion for animals, combined with this deep-rooted knowledge of training and behavioral needs, makes me a reliable and trustworthy partner for your pet. I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, love, and respect I would give to my own. For the last ten years I have worked remotely, running a children's party company. This allows me the flexibility to work from anywhere, on my own schedule. I will fit any work I need to do around your pet's schedule. I do have my own cat at home and have support with caring for him while I care for yours! I am detail oriented and will be happy to carefully follow your instructions, maintaining a routine your pet is accustomed to, in their home where they are most comfortable. I can stay at your home or I can make visits to your home to check in and provide care as often as you need (up to 3x/day). I am also happy to offer dog walking. I will always show your loved ones the same care and compassion I show my own.
“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 taken had numerous years of experience caring of dogs of all ages! I absolutely love any type of dog and enjoy taking them for walks and hikes around our neighbourhood. I will always put you and your dogs needs first, whatever they may be. Looking forward to meeting your fluffy family member :) My schedule is pretty busy now it’s getting a bit warmer out. I have a full time job on Tuesday through Saturday. Not much time off but would love to dogsit your pup! I have a big fenced yard and I always go outside with the dog so that they are not left unattended. I always ask the owner if the dog is okay to be off leash, if there are any dietary restrictions and if the dog has any sensitivities or anxiety.
About: I’m currently experiencing puppy fever, but I’m not entirely sure if I should commit fully to a pooch at this point as I am in a apartment. But for short visits and long walks would be amazing at this time. Looking forward to getting to meet your little one! I grew up with a beautiful golden retriever who loved the outdoors and swimming. I miss her sooo much. I’m thinking about getting a smaller dog! So here I am, willing to care for your precious pup. Looking for companions to keep me busy and someone to take on long walks. I work from 3pm-11pm Tuesday-Saturday. I also have Sunday/Monday completely free :) I would prefer dogs to come stay with me, but willing to come to yours if your dog prefers to stay at home. I make sure nothing is left out for the dogs to get into. I follow personalized instructions to respect the owners training. We go for walks that are suited to each dog.
About: We have owned many dogs and are very experienced and caring dog owners. We love dogs and will take very good care of your fur baby while they are under our care in our home. We will play with them both inside and outside and take them for several walks while they are in our care. I am retired and my husband works from home so we are able to watch your dog for extended periods of time. We will take them out often for a stretch, to exercise and to do their business. We have large front and back yards, as well as many walking trails just outside our door with plenty of room for your dog to run and get their exercise. We don’t currently have our own pet, but love dogs and will take very good care of your pet while we dog-sit. We live in a small gated community at the end of a cul-de-sac with very little traffic. We often watch and board our friends’ Labradors while their owners travel.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kelowna
We had an amazing experience with her! She went above and beyond in every way and gave us complete peace of mind while caring for our dog. She was reliable, kind, communicative, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was taken care of. It’s clear she loves animals and treats them like her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring Rover sitter. Thank you for everything!
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.
After meeting a few dog walkers during my summer stays in Kelowna, I decided to give Fenrir a try. I'm glad I did. Fenrir has been one of the best dog walkers I've ever had. With a very high level of knowledge, passion and care for dogs, Fen truly stands out and my dog loves Fen. Reliability and professionalism are also clear strengths, with consistent punctuality and commitment to every scheduled walk. Most importantly, I feel peace of mind knowing my dog is in capable, responsible hands.
I booked a pup check-in visit with Katherine with short notice for my two mini Labradoodles and the entire process was just terrific. Her communication was great, she was on time and sent lovely pics of my pups. They were calm when I returned home and I wouldn’t hesitate to have Katherine here again!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Kelowna stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Kelowna 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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. 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. 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.
