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.

About: Hi, I'm Avery! I’ve grown up around animals and have had both dogs and cats in my home since I was nine years old. At one point, I lived in a busy household with four dogs and two cats! For the past 10 years, I’ve also regularly pet sat and walked dogs for people in my community. So, I have lots of experience walking, playing with, and caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I now have a two-year-old mini Goldendoodle of my own, his name is Matcha! We’ve completed both beginner and intermediate dog training together, which has given me more hands-on experience with training and positive reinforcement. I’ve also volunteered at a veterinary clinic, where I had the opportunity to work around animals while helping out in my community. I genuinely love animals and would treat your pets with the same care I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I can accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable and do my best to maintain their normal routine. I pay attention to each pet’s body language and personality and adapt as needed. On walks, I pay attention to our surroundings and always prioritize your pet’s safety.

About: Hey there, my name is Trinity and I am a HUGE animal lover.I am great at following instructions if your pet is needy or a bit of a handful. I have experience taking care of all sorts of animals since I was a little girl, this includes young and elderly animals.I have also taken care of an elderly cat for an acquaintance multiple times(feeding, cleaning, administering medications, etc.) for extended periods (1 week- 6 months). Furthermore, I have taken care of multiple animals for coworkers and acquaintances on multiple occasions (walking, feeding, and coming up with creative ways to get them to take their medicine! lol). I have now watched dozens of cats and dogs varying in size and breed and have plenty of experience to feel confident in watching any animal, big, small, or even difficult! I am new to rover but not new to animals and how they should be cared for, please message me if you have any questions! I also have plenty of other positive reviews from off app animal sitting jobs if you would like more assurance! Just ask! I'm currently in school, so I have plenty of time to feed, play and care for your pets even on short notice! I have lived and cared for pets my whole life until just this past two months, I am missing my little furry buddies! I want to assure you that I take your beloved pets needs seriously and am grateful for the clients who have trusted me to take care of such precious animals in the past. In addition, if I am looking after your home I will treat your home with the utmost respect and will follow all directions needed to make you feel comfortable whilst your away

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.

“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.”

About: I love going for walks and training my second rottweiler, Brembo! I love the breed as they are excellent family dogs, great snugglers, and match my energy levels. I love big dogs but I'm also no stranger to small and medium pups! My family has had small dogs for the past 20 years, who I have cared for during my time living with them, and my previous roommates had two medium dogs who I loved to go for walks with. I have previously house and dog sat for up to 5 weeks at a time. I am active and caring, and I love walking and running, especially with a buddy! In addition to walking and hiking with Brembo, I have taken my roommates' dogs on hikes and big runs, and love having a pup to join me while getting active. I love to do training while we are walking, such as sitting while waiting to cross the street or practicing stay and come. I am looking to pick up other dogs while walking or hiking with Brembo, or stop in for short visits (without my dog) to play, give potty breaks, and provide meals! I also work from home full time during the week, so I'm happy to host your pup for the day and take them out for a walk or potty break at least every 2 hours. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out! I work from home full time - I have my own digital marketing business and I set my own hours. I am available most days between 9-5 and would love to take your dog out for activity, come for a short visit, or host them at my place! I leash dogs before we go outside to ensure they are by my side and so that we can easily get back indoors. I take dogs for walks from your place, or drive with them in the back of my SUV if we are going to a hike.

“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!”

About: I have had years of experience as a professional dog walker at Doggytopia doggie daycare here in Kelowna! I love dogs and I walk everywhere, so it’s the perfect combination for dog walking! I’m currently working a casual position, so my availability is very flexible. I live downtown, so if you’re not super far from my neighborhood, I can be there asap to give your dog some great outdoor experience. No matter what the weather is like! I am respectful and dependable. I have a lot of energy too! Working at Doggytopia taught me what certain dogs like or don’t like, and how dogs may get along with each other. I know each doggy has their own personality and I can accommodate this for every single walk!

“Georgia was great with my cats! She was able to administer an inhaler for my senior and make sure she only had access to her special vet food. My kitten was scared at first, but quickly got attached to her. Georgia was also great with helping water plants and take garbage out while I was travelling for work. She is very responsible and I felt reassured knowing she was here to help. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I had my own dog for over 10 years, and he unfortunately passed away last summer, so I’m looking to share some love with some pets who could use a little extra. I work full time, but I have flexibility in my schedule, and am always happy to swing by before or after work to visit/walk/feed, and I’m always happy to stay at your place and give that comfortable safe home space energy to your pets. Pets always get lots of love and snuggles if they like, or space if that’s what they’d prefer. Our pets are our family, and the deserve to be treated with the same love and care.

About: I’ve spent 15 years caring for animals of all shapes, sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies and rescue kittens and dogs with unique needs. My experience includes puppy training and development, socialization, positive-reinforcement training, reactivity management, agility work, and caring for cats and dogs with specific medical, dietary and behavioural needs. Over 15 years I’ve shared my home with Boston Terriers, Pitbull Shar-Pei rescues and two sassy rescue cats, and have helped friends and neighbours with pet sitting, boarding, walks and training. Most recently, I spent three months helping a neighbour with daily walks and training for their Husky puppy. I’m a big believer that every animal has their own personality, quirks and way of communicating. I enjoy getting to know each animal, respecting their individual needs, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe and cared while their people are away. I’m currently flexible and available for house sitting, drop-in visits and walks. I’m happy to build my day around your pet’s established feeding, exercise, training and care routines, so they can enjoy consistency and attention while you’re away. With 15 years of experience around animals, I’m comfortable working with different temperaments, energy levels and behavioural needs. From maintaining familiar routines to recognising behavioural cues and respecting boundaries, I take the time to understand what helps each pet feel secure. I follow your instructions carefully, pay attention to feeding and exercise needs, and use positive reinforcement where appropriate. I also respect your home and believe in keeping you informed, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are being cared for thoughtfully.

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.

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.

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: I’m a small dog owner and currently studying Animal-Assisted Therapy. Through caring for and training my own dog, I’ve developed a strong appreciation for positive reinforcement, consistency, patience, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I believe in creating a safe, calm, and supportive environment where dogs feel comfortable and respected. I’m responsible, attentive, and committed to providing consistent, loving care while following each dog’s routine and respecting their unique personality. As a small dog owner and Animal-Assisted Therapy student, I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and respecting each dog’s individual needs. I believe in creating a safe, calm, and supportive environment where dogs feel comfortable and respected. Whether it’s walking, feeding, interactive play, enrichment activities, or simply spending quiet time together, I aim to make every visit a positive experience while maintaining your dog’s familiar routine.

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my priorities. I believe in building trust through patience, positive reinforcement, and respecting each animal’s individual needs and boundaries. While I’m unable to welcome additional pets into my apartment, I’m happy to provide drop-in visits and dog walks from your home. I believe pets feel most comfortable in a familiar environment, surrounded by their own belongings, scents, and routines. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and positive experience while respecting your home and your pet’s unique personality.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was a baby. If I could have a farm full of dogs, I would have it! Give me dogs over people any day. But I promise to still be awesome with you to make sure you are comfortable with me caring for your pup. I’m experienced with dogs who are still figuring out the leash world, senior dogs, jumpy dogs, pretty much all dogs! If your pup sleeps on the bed with you, they can sleep on the bed with me. Dogs are allowed couch cuddles in our household, but if that’s a no-no in your home, we will enforce that rule here too. Medications needed? I got you. I work from home and choose my hours so I have total flexibility to help care for your beloved pet while you’re away! Weekends are totally free for endless animal care. Morning or evening drop ins to feed and cuddle your cats. Or feed your fish, birds, Guinea pigs, bunnies, etc. I can clean cages and litter boxes so your pet has a clean space always. I can even clean your fish tank if needed! The way I care for your pets is to ask you how you want them cared for and I will do exactly that (and maybe a bit more because I can’t help myself sometimes). I want your pets to not be stressed because you’re gone. I want them to feel comfortable and happy. Your pets are a part of your family and because of that, they hold the utmost importance to me when they are in my care.

Rena was amazing! I needed someone last minute to feed my dog while my family wasn’t available to help, and she was so accommodating. She met with me right before I left for my trip, which gave me peace of mind. My baby boy absolutely loved her, and she sent me lots of updates and photos while I was away, which really helped ease my anxiety. It can be nerve wracking trusting a stranger to care for your fur baby, but Rena made the whole experience so comfortable and stress free. I’m so relieved to have found someone I trust and can’t wait to book her again! Highly recommend Rena to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter! ❤️

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Kelowna

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kelowna is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $40 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 477 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Kelowna. About 86% 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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
