“Once again Gail took such great care with our two little dogs. She is very loving with them and they are happy to have her there. Gail is great with communication and provides us with daily updates and pictures. Thanks Gail.”
“Kathryn was a fantastic sitter for our two cats and somewhat difficult dog at times. He's afraid of strangers but warmed up just fine after we were away for ten days. Kathryn updated us daily with adorable photos and asked straight forward questions about our household to make her stay better (some details we forgot to provide before leaving!) She put in time before our departure to get to know our dog several times, going on walks We highly recommend Kathryn!”
About: I've grown up with pets and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Whether your pup loves lounging on the couch or going on an adventurous hike, I'm happy to match their vibe. I’m also comfortable with senior care and basic puppy training, so your pet will be in good hands, no matter their age or needs. Since I work from home most days, I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I can easily fit in walks, playtime, or cozy check-ins throughout the day to keep your furry friend happy and comfortable. Being home means I’m always nearby, ready to give your pet the attention they need whenever they need it. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, calm environment where they can feel relaxed and loved. I stick to their usual routines as much as possible, including feeding, playtime, and rest. When I care for pets in their own homes, I respect their space and follow any instructions carefully to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Whether at my place or theirs, my goal is to provide consistent, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs.
“Angela did FANTASTIC with our pets. There were things we were worried about because our animals are….unique and quite sappy, but that wasn’t a concern to Angela at all. She rocked it and did so great with them. Our dog usually gets nervous with us leaving and doesn’t eat or go to the bathroom much, but that didn’t happen with Angela at all. She is very confident and is fully capable and able to take care of our animals, no problem. We highly recommend her! Will be reaching out to her again on our next travels for sure!”
“Darcia is absolutely fabulous! She was very flexible and I felt completely happy knowing our pup was well cared for. My house was spotless when I arrived home and my dog was tired and content. She sent lots of pictures and was extremely reliable. I highly recommend her!!”
“Kailey did an amazing job watching our dog & cat! She sent daily updates without being asked. She left a note with details when she left. The pets were happy & the house was clean! What more can you ask for! Would definitely recommend!”
“Erik is fantastic, he took the best care of our home and boy, and we could not be more pleased with his service. Everything in our home was gleaming, and our boy was calm and satisfied when we arrived home which told us so much. Thank you Erik for everything. We cannot recommend you highly enough to the entire Rover community. Truly deserving of every single star in this 5 star review.”
“Amanda was a lifesaver! She rearranged her schedule to accommodate us, and although one of our dogs was experiencing an unexpected health issue, Amanda handled it professionally and kept us updated. She was excellent with our small dogs. She even followed up afterwards to see how our sick dog was recovering. I'd definitely hire Amanda again.”
“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!”
“Tera was an excellent sitter. From the initial connection to the moment the booking came to an end she was an excellent communicator. It seemed she left our house cleaner than what it was when we left. Our dogs were so content when we got home, it was like we hadn't left at all. The dogs seemed to miss her the first evening we were home, they watched for her arrival, like she was now a part of our family! We have a senior dog that had been fussy at meal times, we left as many food choices for Tera in hopes that she had success with feeding. Tera found a solution on her first meal time, our doggo needed to have a raised food bowl, likely due to sore joints in the shoulders or neck! She found a way to raise his bowl for each meal, and he was an excellent eater from then on. We now are in search of a raised bowl for a permanent solution. Tera's experience clearly came through in this situation, and we are so very grateful to her. We highly recommend and will hire Tera again in the future.”
“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!”
“Eva was fantastic! She took such good care of our home, our dog and two cats while we were away. We have an Australian Shepherd that needs lots of exercise and Eva took her on so many great hikes! She was sure to send us lots of picture updates of all the animals which we appreciated. They all looked so happy and content with her. The house was clean and my flower pots in great condition when we got home . We felt our animals were in very good hands and will definitely be booking her again when the time comes. If you need a responsible, caring and active pet sitter, Eva is your lady!”
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.
“Kirstin was INCREDIBLE with our puppy!! Our puppy instantly loved her when she came into our home and Kirstin was very easy to communicate with during scheduling and while we were away on our trip. She went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend! We will definitely be booking her again.”
“Jacob was great with my senior reactive dog! She has a lot of special needs, medication and care while walking. He communicated quickly and sent over photos. Carnita was happy and relaxed when I got home.”
“Melissa was AMAZING! She took such good care of our 1 year old Bernese Mountain dog, Luna, and it was so nice to feel at ease while we were away. She took Luna on lots of adventures and updated us every day! We will definitely be asking her to dog sit again, thank you Melissa!”
“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!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! 🐾❤️
Amanda was a lifesaver! She rearranged her schedule to accommodate us, and although one of our dogs was experiencing an unexpected health issue, Amanda handled it professionally and kept us updated. She was excellent with our small dogs. She even followed up afterwards to see how our sick dog was recovering. I'd definitely hire Amanda 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!
Melissa was AMAZING! She took such good care of our 1 year old Bernese Mountain dog, Luna, and it was so nice to feel at ease while we were away. She took Luna on lots of adventures and updated us every day! We will definitely be asking her to dog sit again, thank you Melissa!
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!
We are so pleased we booked Carla for Gracie’s care. Carla displayed confidence and as a result, Gracie responded positively to her. I was very happy that Carla kept us well informed on a daily basis of how things were going, as well sent us numerous photos. We have already booked her for our next trip!
Rachael was wonderful, housesitting for our two senior cats. I don’t really like to take them out of their home environment anymore and Rachael was a perfect fit - from the moment she met each of them, they felt comfortable with her… even our shy guy, Thomas, who usually spends the first 24-48 hrs hiding from anyone who he considers a stranger! We’d love to have Rachael housesit for us - and the boys - again.
Rhiannon took wonderful care of our two pups in our home while we were away for an extended weekend. Both dogs warmed up to her instantly upon meeting her, and we very much enjoyed the daily photos of them having fun together. We came home to happy, healthy dogs and our home in great condition. We would be happy to have Rhiannon stay with our beloved pups again in the future!
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!
Shana did a wonderful job of looking after our 3+ animals and our home while we were away! I was anxious having a stranger in our home and looking after our fur babies but I would not hesitate to hire Shana again. Our animals were healthy and happy when we returned. Our home was immaculate and even all the plants were alive. We have two cats and a dog and a few hens. Each with special feeding requirements. Shana did everything that was asked of her and was respectful of our home and our privacy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kelowna on Rover is $51.06 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 311 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.
