“Laura was able to come and help us oit last minute. She was responsive, on time and Shep had a lovely time with her. Would highly recommend and will book again in the future.”
“Katherine was able to check in on our 3 cats for us pretty last minute, and everything went very smoothly! She communicated well, sent picture updates, and we came home to happy kittens :) would book her again!”
“Kayla was very accommodating, as it took some time for us to figure out our schedule. When we met she was knowledgeable about dogs and had some good suggestions for dealing with separation anxiety. I was very comfortable leaving them with her and would definitely work with her again.”
“We would 100% ask Elisabeth to watch our two cats again. Both girls took to her quickly (which never happens!), and Elisabeth sent photos and updates during our trip. She made the process easy, is a strong communicator, and put us at ease. Highly recommend! :)”
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.
“Nicole was awesome! She was super responsive and easy to communicated with. My cat has advanced kidney disease and it was a huge relief to have someone so knowledgeable check in on him. High recommend.”
“Toni is amazing! She did drop off visits for my french bulldog for about 2 weeks. He’s a bougie little guy who gets his lunch meal prepped (due to pancreatitis) and heated up. She came by for about an hour everyday and fed him/ took him out. She also took the time to do drop by introduction before taking care of him. After the first visit he was waiting by the door looking for her the entire night when I get home. If I afford to hire her full time I would. Highly recommend trying her out if you need someone to care for your pets!”
“Patricia and her family took great care of our cat! They were reliable and the communication was so easy. We will definitely book with them again on our next vacation!”
“I’ve had Yolanda do two drop-in visits in my home for my two pups (16 month old labradoodles) and she did a great job. She took them for a little stretch break and sent pics during the visit, etc. Both pups were calm when I got home and she had no problem with their little routine. Glad I called her and will have her back to hang out with my pups again!”
“Viktoriia is an awesome dog walker. She responds quickly to our requests. She is friendly, committed, timely and most importantly our dog really looks forward to her arrival and walks. Thanks Viktoriia.”
About: I share my life with a sweet, high-energy Border Collie/German Shepherd/Husky mix, so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and attentive care. Having spent most of my life around both dogs and cats, I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and needs. As an active person, I’m well-suited for high-energy play, long walks, and keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged. I aim to return every dog happy, fulfilled, and well-exercised. I also have experience with basic training and reinforcement, and I prioritize consistency, safety, and clear communication. You can count on me to be reliable, respectful of your routine, and attentive to your pet’s individual needs. I work a part time job at an e-bike rental shop downtown Kelowna, outside of work I am happy to take care of your pets, and I usually work a maximum of 6 hours. Rest assured that your pups will receive the attention and care they deserve. I am attention detailed at following your specific guidelines in entering and leaving your home. I am happy to do everything from caring for your pet as well as cleaning if you wish. We can talk about cleaning in person.
“Hope was excellent with my puppy. She is 20 weeks old and is teething. She is quite mouthy right now and Hope was calm and patient with her. I will be asking Hope to return on those days when I have to be out of the house for extended periods.”
About: Hi! I’m originally from the UK and have been living in Canada for the past two years. While I’m not in a position to have a pet of my own right now, I’ve always been surrounded by animals and genuinely love caring for them. I grew up with both dogs and cats and have experience caring for animals in a variety of settings — from working at kangaroo sanctuaries to providing pet-sitting services for guests at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Through this, I’ve looked after a wide range of dog breeds, personalities, and care needs, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and having them around makes our apartment feel much more like home. I work remotely from home with a flexible work schedule so I can accommodate most requests. I also live with my sister so the pups get double the love and attention! We live downtown in a safe and secure first floor apartment with a small fenced yard. We have space for the pups to play and relax and often go out around the area.
“Angela was so professional and supportive while assisting me with delivering my cat her meds. I am a long time cat owner, but the new to me cat is the first I have had who absolutely needs to be put in a "purrito" or she will run away and hide and spit up all of the medicine. Angela was so gentle with our cat and her kind approach helped us learn strategies to give kitty medications in the future. Sometimes you just need a professional. We appreciated Angela's help so incredibly much.”
“I cannot express how amazing Ashley was with my puppy Chester. He was so calm and looked content as can be when I came home. Ashely followed the guidelines for Chester and was so respectful of our home. She was clear with communication and punctually with her recording/log of his car. I will for sure be asking Ashley to help with Chester again. ??”
About: I have been caring for pets and house sitting for friends and family for over 5 years, and I’m now expanding into professional pet care. I’m known for being reliable, calm, and attentive to each animal’s routine and personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies who need structure and training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who require patience, medication support, and a gentle approach. I treat every home and pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, settled, and well cared for while their owners are away. Basically, I follow instructions well, give lots of belly rubs, and I take my job very seriously… but I will also absolutely talk to your dog like they’re my best friend. Ps. I also offer flexible scheduling and am last-minute booking friendly when available Pet care fits well into my routine alongside my full-time role in hospitality at a winery, where I work Tuesday to Saturday. I’m typically available for morning care before work, evenings after my shift, and I have full availability on Sundays and Mondays. I’m also comfortable with early check-ins, late drop-ins, and overnight stays depending on the needs of the pet and the booking. I’m very organized and used to balancing a busy schedule, so I make sure pet care commitments are planned in advance and always given my full attention when I’m with your pets. I am happy to accommodate last-minute bookings when my schedule allows. I offer flexible care depending on what works best for each pet and client—whether that’s in my home or yours. My priority is always keeping pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In my home, I live in a spacious walk-up studio with a large fenced backyard, which gives dogs plenty of room to get outside, play, and relax safely. I keep the environment clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I make sure any visiting pets feel like they have their own little space here. In clients’ homes, I’m very respectful and mindful of routines, instructions, and household rules. I stick closely to feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any specific training or behaviour guidelines. I also keep communication open with regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kelowna
Jocelynn was absolutely amazing with Fen. Fen can be sometimes skittish around new people, but she was able to connect with her quite easily. She was good with administering pills orally via mouth so if you have a senior animal like me with medical issues they will be in good hands. A++ and will definitely book her again.
Paige is super amazing! We got her to watch our kitties Athena and Thalia during our wedding. She followed instructions perfectly, and also spent time playing with them- our shy girl even warmed up to her! She also tidied up and sent lovely updates and photos, highly recommend ☺️
Shana is honestly the best, takes the time to make sure the animals are cared for and spends time with them every time she stops by. I feel so at peace being gone knowing my animals are in such good hands. I’ll never book anyone else unless I absolutely have to!! Absolutely the best and just a genuine and kind hearted human.
Fen was so kind to look after our girls - even though they're cats! We booked late, but Fen ensured a meet & greet occurred ahead of time to learn of our cats' picky needs. We received photos and updates twice each day, and Fen was never hard to get ahold of, responding quickly every time. The cats are happy and felt comfortable enough to come out and socialise, even though they typically hide. I would book Fen again in a heartbeat and think you should, too!
Jessica took great care of Grumbles while I was away! She was good at sending updates and being responsive to messages. She was also flexible in the schedule - I needed to add an extra day and she was able to accommodate my request without an issue. Thanks from me and Grumbles!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 455 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Kelowna. About 84% 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.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Kelowna stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
