“Jeanine was great with our little Marty. He is quite shy with separation anxiety. I used to worry leaving him at doggy day care, but I felt much better leaving him with Jeanine and Tegan. Jeanine has a large gated yard yet still went the extra mile to put up more barricades by her fence to make sure little 10 pound Marty couldn’t sneak out. We look forward to Marty spending more time with Jeanine and Tegan.”
“Suzanne takes excellent care of Murphy! It’s evident she’s kind, patient and amazing with dogs. Murphy gets very excited when I drop her off in the morning before work. I know she’s in excellent hands with Suzanne.”
“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!!! 😍😍😍”
“Tessa was amazing! Would absolutely recommend! She looked after my 14 week old baby golden retriever and his older brother! She sent pictures all day long, constantly communicating with updates which we loved. They really enjoyed her fenced backyard since we live in an apartment, and she even took them for a splash in the creek! They came home so happy and tired and I will absolutely be booking her again!”
About: 🌟 About Me Your pet's physical safety and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I combine professional expertise with a deeply compassionate approach to provide high-quality, personalized care. I hold an Animal Welfare Certificate from Thompson Rivers University (TRU) and I am fully Fear Free Certified. This advanced training equips me to recognize and minimize pet fear, stress, and anxiety. Whether your pet is anxious, energetic, or requires specialized medical attention, they are in expert hands. I work full-time from home which allows me to provide constant companionship, regular potty breaks, and structured attention throughout the day. I always treat all pets as I would with my own - like family aka furbabies. Veterinary Experience: Confident in administering medications, managing senior pets, and monitoring health changes. Fear-Free Techniques: Tailored approaches for shy, reactive, or rescue dogs to ensure they feel safe. Puppy & Senior Care: Equipped to handle the high energy pups or the gentle pacing of senior animals. 🏡 My Home & Environment Gracie the Host: My friendly, spayed 1-year-old dog loves making new friends and provides great socialization. Constant Supervision: Because I work remotely, your pet will never be left alone for extended periods. Stress-Free Zone: I utilize gentle, positive reinforcement techniques to make my home a peaceful sanctuary. The Setup: We live in a spacious 2-bedroom apartment that is kept clean, safe, and entirely pet-friendly. I also enjoy walking my dog Gracie 3 to 4x/day.
“Carla was great! We sent a last minute request for doggy daycare and she was able to accommodate us. We also appreciated her flexibility on drop off/pick up times. She was quick with communication and sent several updates including pictures and videos. Carla took Cass on a couple longer walks which he loves.”
About: I have cared for dogs of my own and many others for family and friends throughout the years. From puppies to senior dogs, each animal has a unique personality and needs that I enjoy discovering and accommodating. Providing updates throughout the day, following special instructions for food or medication, daily walks, and a clean, safe home are some of the services and routine care I can provide. I work from home throughout the week with flexibility to accommodate lots of playtime and walks. Available for day-time and/or evenings. Weekdays are preferred but happy to accommodate weekends if my schedule permits. I live minutes from parks and beaches that I love taking walks to. I have a small unfenced, outdoor space at home and a clean, safe indoor space with room to play and lounge. Any toys, accessories, or specific training instructions that you would like to provide will be gladly received.
“Jutharat was such a great host for our pup while we were out and about during our visit to Kelowna from out of town! She sent lots of update photos and our boy got along great with her dog Pippi. We would definitely book with her again!”
“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.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have 20 years of dog ownership, 8 years with cats, and experience caring for a horse. Professionally, I’ve worked in a doggy daycare for 2 years and as a dog groomer for 1 year, plus 3 years running my own dog-sitting side hustle. I’m confident with dogs of all breeds and personalities and genuinely love what I do. I’m currently building my portfolio as a Newly licensed Residential Property Manager. I make my own schedule and I either work from home or easily on the go, so I figured why not do a bit more of what I really love the most. I currently offer in-home check ins, sitting and walking. As an experienced Pet-Sitter, and a professional property manager, I have a unique understanding of trust and care when it comes to your home and your pet!
“Bryden and Colleen watched wick for me on very short notice and were just great. Thanks for being so hospitable and welcoming! Wick was a very content dog after getting to play in their backyard. Would recommend to anyone!”
“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!”
“Thank you so much Mike! Koda was so happy to have sweet dogs around to help her with her nervousness and she had an amazing time :) so many photos of her having a good time”
“We were visiting from out of town and wanted to enjoy a dinner out. I felt very comfortable with Marylin and her communication. Stanley gets anxious without us but everything worked out since Marylin also has a doxie! I would recommend Marylin if you need a dog sitter. Thanks again!”

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 September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 158 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Kelowna. About 86% 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.
