“Anna walked our two dogs while we were away for 10 days and she was really great. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures while we were away missing them. They loved their walks with her. Would highly recommend!”
“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 😅”
“Jenna was amazing! Great communication and the photos she took were better than any I’ve taken. She left a report card for Millie which is the absolute cutest! She managed to take Millie farther than I can in half an hour, so I know Millie got good exercise in while I was away!”
“Ashley was fantastic!! Took my Doggo on a great walk to the play park so she could run around with some other dogs, when I just didn’t have the time. My dog instantly really liked Ashley, which made the whole process super easy.”
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!
“This was our first experience with rover and we didn’t know what to expect, it was awesome! Michaela was great to coordinate the walk with and gave me a wonderful review from his walk. Thanks for making our first experience great!”
“Kayla is such an excellent dog walker. She was punctual, very friendly with my dog and was very eager to work on training practices with my dog during her walk with him. I received photo updates throughout the walk as well!”
“Patricia and her daughter Alice are very lovely and so sweet. Hearts of gold and really love animals. They really consider any rules you tell them and understand! I appreciated the photo updates after check in as well :)”
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.
About: I have always had a cat in my life and I have also volunteered over 200 hours caring for cats at the SPCA. I experienced a wide variety of cats, including many shy and anxious ones. While I have the most experience with cats, I would love to take your well-behaved dog for a walk or run. I am currently a student taking online courses, so I have complete flexibility for drop-in visits and walks throughout the week. I plan my schoolwork around visits so I can meet your pet’s needs and stay consistent with their routine. I’m a calm and patient person, and I always let your cat or dog approach me on their own terms. I never force interaction—I give them the space they need to feel safe and comfortable around me.
About: I have years of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Great Danes. I’ve raised kittens from birth, cared for reptiles, and looked after farm animals like rabbits and chickens. What truly sets me apart is my ability to understand each animal’s unique needs and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their environment. Whether it’s a high-energy pup, a shy senior dog, or a curious kitten, I tailor my care to keep them happy and healthy. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I have two dogs of my own and love spending time with animals. I work five days a week, but my shifts are typically 5–6 hours, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I’m available for morning or evening visits depending on my schedule, and I can always stop by before and after work. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do—it’s part of my everyday routine, and I truly enjoy it! My top priority is making sure your pet feels happy, safe, and comfortable—whether they’re in my home or I’m visiting yours. I understand that every animal has their own unique needs and routines. Whether your dog needs a long, energetic walk or just a quick 5-minute potty break, I always follow their lead and adjust my care to what works best for them. I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure they feel at ease while you’re away.
“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 been around pets since I was around 10 years old, having my own dog for about 4 years until he passed of a sudden heart condition :( I cared for maybe pets around my neighborhood with my sister growing up including cats, dogs, and puppies! Most recently, I spent the past summer working at a family farm in Calgary called Butterfield Acres. I grew a love for all of the animals there including cows, chickens and all sorts of goats (my fave being the baby goats!) I learned how to work on a farm and care for all of these animals and grew a passion for the farm. I am currently working part time therefore have plenty of time to play and care for your pups and cats! My work schedule is only a few shifts a week ranging 4-8 hours. I also am currently dog walking around my community once or twice a week in the mornings for an hour! With my past dog sitting and babysitting experience. I am very comfortable being in other peoples homes and caring for them as if they were my own. I respect everyone’s space and their own belongings. I am very athletic and would love to go on walks with your pet or small trips to a dog park! I always ask for a small print out of their feeding schedule and other care needs to ensure nothing is missed from their regular lifestyle!

Capri was excellent with my two small dogs. I appreciate that she stayed in touch throughout her time with them, sent me some cute photos, and worked around my schedule. She was mindful of my dachshund's physical limitations, and her former dogsitting experiences were interesting to hear about. I'd definitely hire Capri again!
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.
Aurielee was fantastic!! She hit it off right away with Angus on the meet and greet. Then sent me pics and updates as my 10 day vacation went on. She was doing the 11:00 ish walk. They played fetch and he looked happy and engaged with her play time. Thank you so much Aurielee!!! I’ll definitely recommend her and I’ll be using her again in Jan when I leave for a week. Good Job all around.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Kelowna on Rover is $26.64 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 457 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Kelowna.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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.
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 walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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!
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
