“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 had and lived with dogs my entire life; I actively enjoy and love walking and hanging out with dogs of all types and sizes. As a full time worker and a student, having some down time with your pets is my honour! Typically I am away for work most of the day, however am thrilled to take care of them both before, after and in the evenings. Gives me a mental break, and you relief that your pets are in good hands. I grew up walking all sorts big dogs, small dogs, fluffy or tough dogs. I am not shy of a leash or commanding if need be.
“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.”
“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: We have owned many dogs and are very experienced and caring dog owners. We love dogs and will take very good care of your fur baby while they are under our care in our home. We will play with them both inside and outside and take them for several walks while they are in our care. I am retired and my husband works from home so we are able to watch your dog for extended periods of time. We will take them out often for a stretch, to exercise and to do their business. We have large front and back yards, as well as many walking trails just outside our door with plenty of room for your dog to run and get their exercise. We don’t currently have our own pet, but love dogs and will take very good care of your pet while we dog-sit. We live in a small gated community at the end of a cul-de-sac with very little traffic. We often watch and board our friends’ Labradors while their owners travel.
About: Hello! I have lived with dogs & cats numerous times over the years and miss being around them! I grew up with many small animals well loved including a tarantula, gold fish, frogs, budgies, and a cockatiel. I have owned two guinea pigs as an adult and absolutely spoiled them with a massive cage and toys, to make up for the one I had as a kid I didn't know how to take care of and have extensive knowledge with them. I also have experience watching bearded dragons, crested geckos, and other small animals. I love looking up information on different animals and breeds as I get to know them and further my knowledge. Thank you for considering me! I work part-time and attend school. Caring for animals is a wonderful way to relax and enjoy life and the personalities that all different animals offer. I am very cautious with plants, things left on the floor, food sensitives and any instructions and needs that the animal has to offer, and you request to feel reassured leaving your pet in my hands.
“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!”
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!
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.
“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.”
About: I have always had a cat in my life and I have also volunteered over 200 hours caring for cats at the SPCA. I experienced a wide variety of cats, including many shy and anxious ones. While I have the most experience with cats, I would love to take your well-behaved dog for a walk or run. I am currently a student taking online courses, so I have complete flexibility for drop-in visits and walks throughout the week. I plan my schoolwork around visits so I can meet your pet’s needs and stay consistent with their routine. I’m a calm and patient person, and I always let your cat or dog approach me on their own terms. I never force interaction—I give them the space they need to feel safe and comfortable around me.
“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'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.
“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!”

Nicole took wonderful care of my two cats while I was away for 10 days. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and well looked after. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I came home to two relaxed, happy cats, and everything was just as I had left it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and I’ll definitely be asking her to watch my cats again in the future!
My partner and I have been experiencing a family emergency that has required us to be away from our home. Paige has done an excellent job taking care of our sweet kitty named Kits. Paige is reliable, always on time, and great at maintaining communication. Paige has gone above and beyond to help us by providing exceptional care for Kits during this time. We appreciate Paige very much.
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.
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
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Kelowna on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 450 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.
