“Amanda was easy to communicate with and very reliable. She followed the care instructions carefully and took great care of my two senior pups. I’d happily book her again.”
“Carla was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Her communication was excellent, well-organized, and it was obvious from the moment we met that she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family. My girl Luna had an amazing time with her. Carla made sure she got plenty of walks, swimming, playtime, pets, and games of fetch. It was clear that Luna was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout her stay. Carla was kind, reliable, and always on time. She truly went above and beyond in every way. To top it off, she left my home cleaner than when she arrived, which was incredibly appreciated. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. I would highly recommend Carla to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. I will definitely be a returning customer — 100%! - 7 stars”
“Trinity was wonderful to have looking after our cats! She made the effort for an initial visit to meet them which made us very comfortable. We received pictures of them out and about, which was so nice to see! She messaged with any questions and kept us up to date on their eating as they require a little more attention than most. Can’t wait to hire her again!”
About: I bring hands-on experience with puppy and kitten development, training, reactivity management, socialization, agility training and pets medical, dietary and behavioural needs. I’m observant, patient and comfortable adapting care to each animal’s temperament and routine. I have owned and cared for dogs from Boston terriers to Pitbull Sharpeis, and have managed through every obstacle possible with two sassy rescue cats, as well as provided pet sitting and boarding in my network, many times through the years. Most recently I provided daily walks, drop ins and training sessions to my neighbour and his Husky pup for 3mo earlier this year. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I’m currently flexible and available for house sitting, drop-ins and walks. I’m comfortable building my day around a pet’s established feeding, exercise, training and care routine. I prioritize a calm, clean and secure environment, following your instructions and keeping pets’ routines as consistent as possible. I use attentive supervision, clear boundaries and positive reinforcement, while treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Sawyer was amazing, we had a last minute issue with our scheduled sitter but Sawyer was able to help save our trip. He even came over the night before to meet with us as it was our first time leaving our dog with anyone overnight. He was so great with Lottie and kept her so busy while we were gone, we came back and she was so excited to see us but she was super tired from all the hikes she got to go on, this morning she didn’t even want to wake up she needed some extra sleep. We will definitely be booking with him the next time we need someone to watch her and would recommend him to anyone!”
“Michelle was wonderful with my two cats. She even made the skittish one feel comfortable with her. I felt comfortable with her looking after my home and cats. I highly recommend Michelle.”
“We are so happy with Shana! Our dogs and cat are so happy and content when we come home after a weekend away. Shana leaves our home very clean and just as the way we left it. We will definitely have her stay with us again!”
“We booked Jocelynn last minute as our typical sitter was away. She was amazing with our girls, followed all instructions, sent lots of photos and videos for us to see, and went above and beyond our expectations. Will definitely book again when we need a sitter!”
“Kirstin was super easy to deal with especially on such short notice. She kept us fully updated on Kai and sent lots of photos. Kai was clearly very comfortable with her and she left the condo in perfect condition. We will definitely be using her services again and would recommend her to everyone!”
About: I am a responsible and well-experienced pet caregiver who would treat your fur baby like they were my own. I have had animals in my life since childhood, including cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, horses, chickens, ducks, rodents...you name it, I have probably had it! For dogs, I am available for walks, hikes, in-home sitting, overnight boarding, training, feeding, medication administration, belly rubs, nail trims, and playing fetch and/or other games for stimulation and enrichment. I am confident with all sizes and breeds of dogs. For cats, I am available for drop-in visits, in-home sitting, overnight boarding, feeding, administering medications, nail trims, and providing snuggles. I will also care for reptiles, birds & farm animals of all kinds (just not in my home of course, haha). Most recently I had a cat and a dog, both of whom I said goodbye to earlier in 2026 - so now I looking to fulfill my love for animals by caring for others' babies. Please reach out if you think it may be a good fit! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I am easily able to schedule my day around your pet's needs. I am also easily able to bring my work with me, so I can house-sit / pet-sit at your home if that is the preference. There is a beautiful pond and park with walking trails within 200m of my home. I have an outdoor enclosed patio to provide a safe outdoor space for animals (and me!). I also live within walking distance to Knox Mountain where I frequently go for longer hikes (5-10km). I work from home and am a home-body, so your pet would almost always have company, with minimal time alone. I am willing to follow your pet's home routine as closely as possible, and am able to crate your pet when I do leave them alone, if that is your preference.
“Eva was amazing. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars. She took such great care of my cat and also went above and beyond to take care of my home while I was gone. That was such a treat to come home to after an exhausting trip. She listened well to all my instructions and took great care to make sure everything was taken care of. Will definitely be using her services again.”
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’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old and have always had dogs in my family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I love getting dogs out for walks, but I’m just as happy spending time with the little cuddle buddies who prefer relaxing on the couch. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already enjoy making time for walks, outdoor activities, and relaxing at home with a furry cuddle buddy. I can plan morning and evening walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins around my work schedule, with additional flexibility on weekends. I’m organized and will always make sure your pet receives consistent care, attention, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll carefully follow their usual routine, feeding instructions, walking preferences, and any special care needs. I’ll keep doors and gates secure, use a leash during walks, and make sure their environment is clean and free from anything unsafe. I’ll also give them plenty of attention, respect their boundaries, and send regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Lora was a wonderful sitter for my dog, Mo. She was very friendly at the meet and greet and asked all the right questions, and I could tell right away she would be great with Mo. While I was away, she sent photos and updates and I came home to a content pup. I would definitely recommend Lora!”
About: I’m an experienced and dedicated animal lover who has cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and reptiles. I treat every pet as if they were my own - providing them with love, attention, and the same level of care I’d give a cherished family member. I am available any day - please contact for availability or submit a request - I try to be flexible to fit your scheduling needs! On our walks I will take your dog on a hike, a less intense nature walk, or even stay more in urban areas depending on yours and your pets preference if known. At your home I can take your pet for bathroom breaks, clean up messes, provide feedings and water, scoop cat litter and poop outside and play with them to keep the active and stimulated!
About: I have a love for all furry friends and have a lifelong experience caring for family and friends' dogs of various breeds, temperaments and ages. I currently have an open schedule with weekdays and weekends as I am in a transition period between completing my masters and studying for the licensing exam in December. I live in a pet friendly apartment, however I am an active individual and love going for walks/runs, playing catch and whatever indoor/outdoor activities your pet enjoys.
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.

Madison was great with our to small dogs she kept them company, went above and beyond. She did all of the things that we agreed on cared for our furbabies and our home. we were looking for someone that will stay with our dogs most of the day that is trustworthy and professional. Would book again in the future and 100% recommend.
Kate is a very conscientious pet sitter. We really appreciated the great care she gave to our anxious pup who warmed up to her quickly. We appreciated the contact when there were concerns and we came home to a happy well cared for puppy and a home that was as clean as we left it. We definitely would have Kate pet sit for us again.
Chantelle was absolutely amazing! 🐶🐶🐾🐾 She stayed in my home and cared for my two large dogs for three days, and I couldn’t have been happier with her. My dogs are both around 90–100 lbs, and she handled them confidently and gave them so much attention and care. They absolutely loved her! She took them on lots of walks and hikes, kept me updated, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. She was incredibly responsible, attentive, trustworthy, and respectful of my home. When I returned, my house was left in the same condition she found it. I would absolutely recommend Chantelle to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to look after their pets and home. I will definitely be having her back again! ❤️🐾
I would definitely recommend Bella to look after your pet! She was kind and caring with Ella, and I really appreciated the regular updates and photos while I was away. It was so nice knowing Ella was happy and well taken care of. Bella was reliable, easy to communicate with, and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after Ella again!
Trinity was absolutely amazing housesitting and pet sitting our cat Bubbs. Bubbs is a special boy with unique needs and feeding schedules and because he’s such a unique boy I worry so much about finding good quality care for him. Trinity put my mind at peace by sending photos and updates while we were away. She checked in a few times before our trip just to confirm all was still a go. Our house was left just as clean as it was when we left. I absolutely recommend Trinity for anyone seeking someone for their house sitting / or pet sitting needs. Thank you Trinity!
Amanda was wonderful with our pets, and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Our dog and cat loved her, and she was very caring and attentive to their needs. She went above and beyond what we expected. I almost feel like planning another trip...just so we can hire her again!
Angela was fantastic once again! She was especially great at letting us know our Coco wasn’t feeling well over her stay this weekend. Lots of updates and photos keeping us up to date on everything that’s happening. We’ll definitely use Angela as a house sitter again!
I really enjoyed having Kari watching Ollie, Harriet, and Higgins! I felt they were extremely well cared for, and went above and beyond in ensuring they felt loved while we were away for the week! Also enjoyed receiving updates on how everything was going! Thanks for all the care and attention to them!
I had a great experience with Melissa looking after my dogs! She was so accommodating when my travel plans changed at the last minute. I can tell my dogs really loved her and she even won over my extremely timid dog who doesn't warm up to many people. She also left my home clean and tidy. I really appreciated how caring, reliable, and respectful she was. I would definitely recommend her and would happily have her look after my dogs again!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kelowna maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kelowna walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
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.
