“Suzanne was wonderful - very kind, professional, and clearly a true dog person. She took the time to meet my dog beforehand and made sure it would be the right fit and that he would get along well with her dogs. I really appreciated how thoughtful and caring she was throughout the process. Highly recommend Suzanne!”
“Jutharat looked after Pippin for a day. He had the best time ever. He played with other puppies and was well taken care off, so much so he didn’t want to come home. 🥹 We enjoyed the wonderful photos throughout the day, it was much appreciated.”
“Carla was amazing from the very first reassuring messages right through to the end of our trip. We'd never left our pup with a stranger before, so we were naturally a little nervous, but Carla put our minds at ease immediately. She was friendly, thoughtful, experienced, and incredibly flexible with times, which we really appreciated. It was clear Maggie had an amazing time! She came home happy, relaxed, and we loved seeing all the updates of her adventures. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Carla to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter, and we'll definitely be booking with her again whenever we're in Kelowna. Thank you so much, Carla!”
About: Growing up on a cattle ranch in Australia, I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life - caring for them is second nature. While I don’t have pets of my own right now, I regularly look after my mates’ dogs and genuinely love spending time with them. I’m patient, reliable, and understand that every dog has their own personality, pace, and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. <3 I’m also big on communication - you’ll get plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and in good hands! I work from home full time, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and supervised outdoor time throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to stick to your dog's usual routine, including walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of cuddles. My goal is to make them feel relaxed, comfortable, and right at home while you're away. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live on a fully fenced couple of acres in beautiful East Kelowna, providing plenty of secure space for supervised play and exercise. Because I work from home full time, your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive lots of attention throughout the day. I'll follow their usual routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to ensure they feel safe, loved, and right at home!
“We had a great experience with Anothai and Mersad watching our dog Molly today. They are such a kind and caring husband-and-wife team, and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. Molly was very well cared for, and we felt completely at ease leaving her with them. It is such a nice feeling to find sitters who are warm, trustworthy, and clearly treat dogs with so much love and attention. We would absolutely book with them again and again!!! 😍😍😍”
“Jeanine was so great to work with and took such good care of our pup for the day. Little Teagan was so sweet too. Will definitely be bringing my dog back to her in the future”
“Harley absolutely loves going to daycare! He now has a buddy to play and boy does he have with Bruce! I have no worries leaving Harley with Shelley, it sure eases the mind when you know your little is loved!”
“Nicole was great with our dog Nova who is shy and reserved with strangers. Her calm demeanor and slow approach got Nova following her within a few minutes of meeting. Nicole sent us pictures throughout the sitting so we could see how she was doing. Would highly recommend having your doggo stay with Nicole!”
About: We are a mature couple who loves pets of all kinds - my partner is great at training puppies and young dogs too. We have a flexible schedule and plenty of space both inside and outside and we love a good long walk! Currently working freelance from home so lots of flexibility, time, and attention for your fur babies! Available at fairly short notice both weekdays and weekends and happy with early or late walks, drop offs and pick ups. We have a large unfenced yard backing onto lots of open woodlands and hills with tons of opportunity for good long walks. We also have a fully fenced multi level pool deck with lots of space for outdoor run around too. Inside the house is well set up for pets with wooden floors, plenty of space, as well as cosy corners and a real fireplace with perfect curling up rugs for winter evenings!
“Sylvie was amazing to deal with from the get-go. Quick to respond, experienced, clean, comfortable environment and very friendly. She spoiled my girl, took her out for a ride in her convertible and got her a treat. I am so thankful! 5 stars, would recommend and use again!”
“Rhonda takes excellent care of Andy; she is warm, kind, professional and communicative. We love the updates she shares, appreciate her time using the rover app so we can see their adventures and activity. We’d highly recommend !”
“Marylin took wonderful care of our dog Polly. She came home happy and content after every visit. We're grateful for her care and are looking forward to more visits in the future!”
“Kate was super easy to communicate with and made my dog feel comfortable right away. Her sisters puppy played all day with mine so he came home happy and tired. Highly recommend her!!!”
“Nash had a great time playing at Darcy’s and is exhausted now ha ha. He always gets excited when we drive up to her place. She takes good care of Nash. Thank you Darcy!!”
“Aiden and Amy were amazing. They took such good care of my dog and were great at staying in communication so I knew he was in good hands. I highly recommend them to take care of your pet.”
“Brandyn and his girlfriend Suki looked after my dog when I was passing through Kelowna for a medical appointment. It was 38° and I could never have left him in the car even in a parkade. It was such a relief knowing he was in airconditioning! He seemed quite relaxed with them which was surprising since he is an anxious dog, so clearly they have great dog vibes. I would feel very comfortable leaving Juno with them again another time.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kelowna
Rhiannon was a star! She looked after my dog along with my parents two dogs (who had never stayed with a sitter before) on the day of my wedding. She picked them all up, dropped them off, and updated us during. She really went above and beyond, even bringing me flowers and a card! All three pups came back very happy. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Kelowna on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 156 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Kelowna. About 92% 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.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Kelowna commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in BC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
