About: Hi, I'm Avery! I’ve grown up around animals and have had both dogs and cats in my home since I was nine years old. At one point, I lived in a busy household with four dogs and two cats! For the past 10 years, I’ve also regularly pet sat and walked dogs for people in my community. So, I have lots of experience walking, playing with, and caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I now have a two-year-old mini Goldendoodle of my own, his name is Matcha! We’ve completed both beginner and intermediate dog training together, which has given me more hands-on experience with training and positive reinforcement. I’ve also volunteered at a veterinary clinic, where I had the opportunity to work around animals while helping out in my community. I genuinely love animals and would treat your pets with the same care I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I can accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable and do my best to maintain their normal routine. I pay attention to each pet’s body language and personality and adapt as needed. On walks, I pay attention to our surroundings and always prioritize your pet’s safety.
“Laura is professional and reliable. She’s very great with my 6 month old puppy and is a great communicator. I hesitate writing a great review as I don’t want everyone scooping her up from me 😅”
“Paige has been great with Dave! He is always pooped at the end of his walks and she send great updates through photos. Paige has been really flexible with scheduling and reliable, which has been great! Could recommend more.”
About: I have had years of experience as a professional dog walker at Doggytopia doggie daycare here in Kelowna! I love dogs and I walk everywhere, so it’s the perfect combination for dog walking! I’m currently working a casual position, so my availability is very flexible. I live downtown, so if you’re not super far from my neighborhood, I can be there asap to give your dog some great outdoor experience. No matter what the weather is like! I am respectful and dependable. I have a lot of energy too! Working at Doggytopia taught me what certain dogs like or don’t like, and how dogs may get along with each other. I know each doggy has their own personality and I can accommodate this for every single walk!
“Lora is reliable, lovely with animals and an outstanding caregiver to our young dog, Rupert. Highly recommend and grateful to her for looking after Rupert and taking him for daily walks. She’s superb!”
About: I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs, and have grown up around them. I’m very close with my family dog, Kaia, a 14 year old bichon Shih Tzu. I have many years of hands on experience caring for her, including attending puppy training classes together, she has taught me patience, kindness, and how important it is to make a dog feel loved safe and comfortable. I’m caring, and responsible and genuinely enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention. I hope to have a dog of my own one day so caring for other people’s pets is something I truly enjoy and take great pride in. Very available weekends, afternoons, and evenings. Available some days during the week depending on my work schedule. Happy to take your pet for long or short walks or even overnight. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routines, including walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I’m respectful of each pet’s personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions from their owner. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, my goal is for them to feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Our family always had at least 3 pets at one time while I was growing up. I've looked after dogs, cats, rabbits, rats and chinchillas. With most experience being with dogs and cats. I've taken my own dog through 3 different obedience courses as well as agility. I have a good understanding of basic training techniques. My full time job has flexible hours which will make me available to check on pets midday most week days and if needed a more active hike or play on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'm contracted hourly for work so generally have gaps in my day where I can be available for a few hours at a time. I really enjoy getting out for hikes when I can. I have had a few private dog sitting roles prior to being on rover. Generally, I get pets out for a walk or play depending on the yard set up and check fresh water and food are available depending on specified instructions.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets for around ten years, and before that I had, and continue to, frequently house and dog sit! I am currently a student at UBCO and I am able to be quite flexible in my schedule in order to provide the care and services you may need! I can easily take care of animals with higher needs, and have experience with very high energy and moderately reactive animals! I try to be as accommodating as possible!
“Daria was excellent. Great communication! We were from out of town and not familiar with the area. Daria came to meet us. She immediately put us at ease and our little Aussie sheperd, although cautious, took to her quickly. She kept us up to date during the visit and even sent us a photo which we appreciated. ( our dog had ingested burrs that morning ?). Recommend Daria for sure!”
“Mike is a kind and patient dog walker, and we truly appreciate his gentle nature. Walter is always in great hands with him, and we’re grateful for the care he provides!”
About: I’ve owned dogs all my life and am fortunate to now have a small Pomeranian girl who is VERY sociable. She gets along with any dog and would be present if your dog is staying at my house. I love dogs and would provide the best care for them wether just a walk or pet sitting. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention, exercise and companionship they need. I genuinely love spending time with animals and am happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, playtime and pet sitting throughout the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I will always follow your usual routine, feeding instructions and any specific care needs you provide. I’m attentive, responsible and will treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: I have 8 years of pet sitting experience with many different animals. I have grown up around many different animals my whole life and have a pup of my own. I will also frequently take care of family and friends dogs and cats. I will do my absolute best to make sure your dogs get the attention, exercise and needs they require! I look forward to meeting and caring for your pups! :) I am at home full time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and attend to their daily needs! I am a student so I attend various classes but they are all done online and from the comfort of my own home. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and have made sure my house is a very pet friendly environment provided with lots of entertainment, water and food bowls around the house. There are many dedicated spaces if the pups (or cats) need some space or if they just want to relax in private. There are no spots that are off limits for the pups so they have lots of room to play and explore! :) our place has a chill and relaxed vibe to it so your dogs can be comfortable and feel like it’s a safe home away from home.
About: I grew up with 8 German Shepherds, 3 cats, and 1 Poodle! I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’m calm, patient, and great with shy or anxious dogs. I’m able to read dog body language and respect their boundaries. I believe in safety first mindset on walks and in the home, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, not just watching them. I’m currently working part-time and my job is close to home, so I can walk over during my breaks for check-ins. I attend school full time, with half of my classes online, which means I’m home for majority of the day and able to give pets regular attention and care! I follow a clear schedule for walks, meals, and play-time. On-time care everyday. I care for pets by maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or a clients home. I make sure they are fed on schedule, get regular walks, and have plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and safety, and I always respect house rules and special instructions. I also provide regular updates with photos so pet parents feel at ease while they’re away.
“Met Patricia for the first time yesterday. Rosco instantly was drawn to her so I felt very comfortable with her. She was very friendly, came in time and Rosco was popped when he got back home which was good. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“This was our first time using Rover and working with Jessie! All went very well, Bodhi was well taken care of, Jessie was on time and easy to communicate with while we were out of town. We’d be happy to have her walk Bodhi again!”
About: I grew up around dogs and over the years have been a reliable dog-sitter/walker for friends and family. I have fostered dogs and was a foster-fail (meaning we adopted) with my dog Juno who is featured in most of my pictures. I have learned so many skills from fostering and raising Juno. I keep Juno quite structured in her day to day because she thrives off that being a working breed, with lots of down time and snuggles. I am respectful of how each owner operates and will follow instructions diligently. I recently moved to Kelowna from Ontario for school. I am a social worker back home and currently doing my MSW at UBCO. My schedule is quite flexible, I’m available Friday-Tuesday anytime and Wednesdays and Thursdays I only have morning availability. I currently do not have any pets in my home, I am doing long distance from both my partner and my dog Juno. When I am interacting with pets in my home or their home I am respectful of their space and needs, and provide structure as needed.

Nicole is simply the best! She treats Henry like he’s her own dog and it’s obvious how much she genuinely loves and cares for him. He is beyond excited every time he sees her for a walk, which says it all! She is even patient with his overjoyed teenager antics. I couldn’t recommend Nicole more as reliable best friend for your fur baby :)
Thank you Andrea for walking Nala last minute! Nala came back very happy and went to sleep right away, meaning she got lots of exercise and sniff breaks. Andrea walked Nala for longer than the time we booked, to give her some extra sniff time. We would recommend booking her. She is very friendly and personable.
Amanda has been a lifesaver that allowed us to attend a few afternoon and evening events that we wouldn't be able to otherwise. She was very timely and left excellent notes and feedback on our pet's experience and care. We would definitely have Amanda over again in the future!
Emily was so awesome with our pup! She walked him and kept him company while we were out of town, and went totally above and beyond. She is a great communicator and gave us lots of updates. He’s a big boy with a somewhat quirky disposition but she totally understood him.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Kelowna is $26 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 489 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Kelowna. About 84% of Kelowna 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.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Kelowna. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Kelowna after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Kelowna with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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!
