“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!”
“Gail is the perfect fit for looking after our 2 small dogs (one being a puppy) she knows dogs and she kept our house tidy for our return. Thank you Gail! This was our first time using Rover.”
“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.”
“Kate was absolutely wonderful with our spunky chocolate lab Becky while we were away! We felt completely comfortable knowing Becky and our home were in such good hands. Kate was reliable, communicative, and clearly took great care of Becky as we came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless house. It was a relief to be able to enjoy our trip without worrying about anything at home. We would absolutely have Kate stay with Becky again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“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!”
“Kaylee was an amazing friend to our dog Romeo who can be a lot to handle when first getting to know him but she did a great job an kept us updated throughout the days an was very respectful of our house. We will definitely have her back in the future”
“Shana was wonderful with our animals! She stayed with our 2 dogs and cat over the long weekend and they all looked happy and relaxed when we came home. When we had a meet and greet Shana clicked well with our high energy dogs and laid back cat. When we came home our house was just as clean as when we left. We would happily have her back again to look after the animals”
About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal-lover and pet-owner who has worked extensively with the Okanagan Humane Society, fostering many pets with a variety of temperments and personalities. Because of this experience, I'm very comfortable taking care of animals with unique needs and administering medication as needed. I currently do not have any pets of my own, allowing me time to dedicate to your furry family members! I have 15 years of experience housesitting/dogsitting and have received glowing reviews. I'm very flexible and attentive, wanting your pet's routine to stay as consistent as possible while you're away! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I’m happy to schedule a meet and greet to ensure I’m the right fit for your dog’s needs! I work a 9-5 job from home, so I can be available for check-ins or short walks over my lunch hour. I have open availability evenings and weekends. I’m very flexible, please reach out if you have any questions! Pets are welcome to stay with me in my pet friendly apartment or I’m happy to work from your home and keep your pet company if you prefer. Because I work from home, I’m able to give your pet lots of attention and care while you’re away.
About: I currently own a very sweet and gentle Doberman, he is the third dog I’ve trained over the last 4 years, I have owned him for the last year, he’s great with other dogs! I work from home and create my own schedule so my daily routine is very flexible, I can make any time work any day of the week My apartment is fully enclosed and safe, I live downtown and like to take the dogs for walks and to the fully gated dog park near by
“Lorina was a huge help for me! I had reached out on Christmas Eve to be a house-sitter as the one I had bailed on me last minute. Lorina came over Xmas day when she had time and also stayed the night and spent all the next day at my house with my 13 year old cat. She made all the worry go away and I’m so thankful she was able to help me with such short notice!”
“Erik was so amazing to have sit at our house! He made sure our 13 week old puppy was very well taken care of while we were away for a few days. Our house was left very clean and tidy! We couldn’t ask for anyone better. Thanks Erik! Olive will miss you”
“Kailey did a great job watching our kitten while we were away. She left the house in mint condition and our kitty was clearly well taken care of. We will definitely be booking Kailey again in the future!”
“Darcia was amazing! First time we hired her and it was the best choice! Our two dogs absolutely loved her staying with them and we got daily photos and updates which helped us to truly relax knowing they were in such great care. Our house was spotless coming home! Really looking forward to our next travel so we can hire 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”
“Had the me before leaving and upon my arrival to watch Brock interact with my dog and was impressed with his caring but boundary-setting approach. My German Shepherd’s herd is high spirited and he thrived under Brock’s care (the neighbor said they were always out in walks!). Will book again.”
“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’m currently experiencing puppy fever, but I’m not entirely sure if I should commit fully to a pooch at this point as I am in a apartment. But for short visits and long walks would be amazing at this time. Looking forward to getting to meet your little one! I grew up with a beautiful golden retriever who loved the outdoors and swimming. I miss her sooo much. I’m thinking about getting a smaller dog! So here I am, willing to care for your precious pup. Looking for companions to keep me busy and someone to take on long walks. I work from 3pm-11pm Tuesday-Saturday. I also have Sunday/Monday completely free :) I would prefer dogs to come stay with me, but willing to come to yours if your dog prefers to stay at home. I make sure nothing is left out for the dogs to get into. I follow personalized instructions to respect the owners training. We go for walks that are suited to each dog.
“Yolanda was an amazing sitter for my Chi, Rollie, while I was away for 4 days for the first time in a long time — he has separation anxiety, so that was a big deal. She earned his trust and took him on lots of outings, including to restaurants. I came home to an excited but relaxed, happy, and healthy Chihuahua. Highly recommend her for any pup who needs fun, patient, and loving care! Thanks Yolanda, I hope I can book you again for my next travels!”

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!
Kate was absolutely wonderful with our spunky chocolate lab Becky while we were away! We felt completely comfortable knowing Becky and our home were in such good hands. Kate was reliable, communicative, and clearly took great care of Becky as we came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless house. It was a relief to be able to enjoy our trip without worrying about anything at home. We would absolutely have Kate stay with Becky again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Pet Sitter — Highly Recommend Klaya! Klaya did an amazing job looking after our cats, Sheena and Scout, in our home for six days while we were away. We could tell they had been very well cared for because when we arrived home, they were both so content, relaxed and happy — which gave us great peace of mind! We really appreciated the regular updates and photos Klaya sent while we were away. It was reassuring to see that Sheena and Scout were comfortable and in such good hands. She also took great care of our home, and everything was just as we had left it. Thank you, Klaya, for being so reliable, caring and attentive. Knowing our cats and our home were being well looked after allowed us to truly enjoy our time away without worrying. We would absolutely recommend Klaya to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we would happily have her look after Sheena and Scout again! 🐾❤️
Ashley was fantastic! She was right on time (early actually) and sent us multiple updates throughout the day. We have never used a pet sitter before and were very reluctant because our little guy is pretty particular. She went above and beyond for him today and even asked us to leave a detailed note so she wouldn’t miss anything! Will definitely be asking Ashley to come back again and strongly encourage anyone who may be weary about Rover to give her a shot!
We had such a great experience with Felicia! Polly is fear reactive and has a lot of specific needs, so we were a little nervous leaving her, but Felicia was calm, patient, and caring from the start. Polly warmed up to her right away and so we instantly felt great about leaving Polly with her. She sent daily updates and photos, took amazing care of Polly, and also left our house in great shape. We felt completely at ease knowing Polly was in such good hands. We would highly recommend her and would happily book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kelowna on Rover is $51.06 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 328 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kelowna. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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, identity 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 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
