House Sitting Lake Country

“This was Alexa’s second time with housesitting our beloved cats and we couldn’t be more pleased. She was easily contacted, kept us up to date on any changes or concerns about our babies and left the house clean and orderly. We’ve always been nervous leaving our cats to go away but now Alexa feels like Auntie Alexa to them and we come back to them happy and healthy. Absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

“Lindsey was absolutely fantastic. I felt so at ease leaving Buddy (my 8 year old cocker spaniel) with her. She was super organised and her communication was excellent. She sent updates and pictures at the end of everyday and put Buddy’s needs first. Our home was super clean and tidy when we arrived home. I would 100% have Lindsey to sit Buddy in the future and would not hesitate to recommend her to take care of your pets and home.”

“Amanda was great ! Always kept me updated on how my pups were doing and played with them lots in the yard to burn off energy of my youngest high energy one ! Very helpful and caring for them !”

“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.”

About: Cats have been a part of my life since I was seven years old, when my mom surprised me with my first kitten, and my love for them has only grown since then. I have more than 20 years of experience caring for cats, including fostering with the Okanagan Humane Society, in-home pet sitting, and fostering cats who ultimately became part of my family. I currently share my home with three former foster cats. I have a naturally calm and patient demeanour, and I often find that shy, nervous, or less-social cats will gravitate toward me. I take the time to get to know each cat’s personality, routine, and individual needs rather than expecting them to all behave the same way. I’m also comfortable providing hands-on care, including nail trims, bathing, and administering medication when needed. When a cat stays with me, my goal is to provide a safe, calm, loving environment where they can feel comfortable, respected, and cared for while their family is away. I am currently in the process of changing careers and am not working full-time, which allows me to make pet care a meaningful part of my daily routine. I have the time and flexibility to provide cats with consistent attention, companionship, and individualized care throughout the day, as well as space for overnight boarding. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and with more than 20 years of experience fostering and looking after cats, including my three former foster cats, I would be happy to use this time to help other families feel confident that their cats are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they are away. I enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality and routine, and my calm, patient nature helps me provide a peaceful environment, especially for shy, nervous, or less-social cats. I live alone and have a separate spare room where your cat can have a quiet, private space to settle in and feel safe\. I’m able to provide lots of one\-on\-one attention, companionship, and play throughout their stay\. If introductions to my resident cats are appropriate, they’re done slowly, patiently, and always supervised, following each cat’s comfort level and body language\. There’s never any pressure to interact—your cat’s comfort and happiness come first\! I also have the flexibility to provide overnight care in your home when needed, so your cat can stay in the comfort of their own familiar environment\.

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 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.

About: A mother and son duo: responsibility and energy in caring. What more can a dog want! We will only care for 2 pets at a time, let your dog be the spoiled one! Is your dog high energy? My 14 year old son is gentle, responsible and can keep up with the demands of any high energy dog. This is our p/t job of choice! I am a stay at home mom and online teacher. We are a great tag-team! Your dog will have all day and all night companionship. Must be o.k. with cats, however, as we have 2 in the house. Small and medium sized dogs only please. I work from home online during the week so dogs get plenty of lap time and continuous companionship available. At night your pet can sleep in our bedroom to make him/her feel as though they are part of the family. We have a fenced yard, with plenty of shade, and a spot under my desk if that is what makes a dog feel more comfortable.

“Danielle took such great care of our boy (and home) while we were away. She’s flexible, responsible, caring, and accommodating. We also loved getting pictures and videos from her, he was his happy self! She’s very easy going and dependable, which made it easy for us. Highly recommend Danielle as a dog lover/house sitter :)”

“Angela was wonderful. After going away for the weekend, we came back to the house just as we left it, and our cat and dog were both well loved while we were gone. Highly recommend her!”

“Milissa was a great house/dog sitter. We will definitely use her again. My older dog warmed up to her and was very relaxed around her. She sent pictures of our dog and let us know how she was doing. Cleaned the suite up before we even got home.”

Sharon Q.

“Toni took incredible care of our dog, Max for the four days we were away. Toni met me within a couple of days of booking to meet Max and learn about both Max and staying at our house while we were gone. She gave us updates daily how Max was doing - she treated Max just like we would if we were home. Not only did she take great care of Max but she also took care of house. Toni is exceptional! I would book with her again to take care of Max.”

About: As a social work student, I believe all behaviour is a form of communication, regardless of species. Therefore, I have an absolute, unconditional love for all animals, and have been a pet owner my entire life. After a 3 year hiatus, I am back on rover! I have a few years of formal experience, though have been providing dog walking, house/pet sitting, and feeding/bathing help for my neighbors and friends for a combined total of 20 years. I am a diverse provider, in that I take care of all types of animals, with specialization in reactive/anxious animals! I have been told I have a patient, calming, reassuring, and playful energy, which can help both initial meetings and ongoing interactions. I have also had experience with other animals, such as cats, rodents, birds, and more! If you have any questions regarding my services, availability, or my experience, shoot me a message any time, and I will respond as soon as possible! I treat my pets like family, and always try to snuggle, pet, and play with my animals as much as I can. I care for any animal as I would my own. Within your home, I am able to bathe, walk, train, play with, and accommodate any special requests or needs of your pet. Within the community, I ensure that walking locations are extremely safe and secure, taking into account the dog's sensitivities, i.e. other dogs, children, etc. while also making sure that the owner is satisfied with the walk. This may mean a walk could include some playtime, jogging, socialization, and any other needs you may have. Currently, I am in school from 11-5 Mondays and Thursdays, though am flexible otherwise and am always willing to accommodate! Unfortunately I don’t have space in my home, but I am more than willing to take care of your pets in yours! Within the community, I ensure that walking locations are extremely safe and secure, taking into account a pup’s sensitivities, i.e. other dogs, children, etc. while also making sure that the owner is satisfied with the walk. This may mean a walk could include some playtime, jogging, socialization, and any other needs you may have. Regarding the home, I always leave your home the way I found it, and always follow your instructions precisely. Safety, trust, and respect, are three components that I take very seriously when looking after any animal, therefore if I have any questions, I always reach out, as I feel that there should always be an open dialogue between myself and the owner!

“Chantelle was absolutely amazing! 🐶🐶🐾🐾 She stayed in my home and cared for my two large dogs for three days, and I couldn’t have been happier with her. My dogs are both around 90–100 lbs, and she handled them confidently and gave them so much attention and care. They absolutely loved her! She took them on lots of walks and hikes, kept me updated, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. She was incredibly responsible, attentive, trustworthy, and respectful of my home. When I returned, my house was left in the same condition she found it. I would absolutely recommend Chantelle to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to look after their pets and home. I will definitely be having her back again! ❤️🐾”

“Our dogs and home were well taken care of. Olivia provided us with regular feedback and pictures. We would go through her again for any future needs and highly recommend her for anyone looking to have their dogs looked after.”

About: I am a stay at home mom, with two small dogs of my own. My dogs love to play and are very social with all dogs big or small. We have a large fully fenced yard, and love to take walks in our neighborhood. My children and I will make sure your dog is well cared for and made to feel part of our family. I have a lot of experience with dogs and have been breeding them as well. I have a lot of experience with puppies as I have had a few liters with my dogs. I have been dog boarding for the last thirteen years and when I moved in the last year, I started with Rover. I currently only do dog boarding, so I can be at home with your dog the entire time they are staying with me. I have two adult children that live with me as well, so your dog will get lots of walks and play time. I have a fully fenced back yard for your dogs to play, as well as a huge covered deck. The dogs are allowed on my bed and furniture, the same as my dogs.

About: Sweet and personable which each dog.I have experience taking care of dogs since a young age and have plenty of time to give your best friend the most attention possible! Right now i’m fully free and open to have your pet be my #1 priority as long as I have enough of a heads up notice! I am always very close and personable with each animal I come across, I love building bonds with plenty of different animals and will care for your pet like they’re one of my own.

“Tiernan came and took care of my dog and house for 3 nights while I was away. She sent pictures and regular updates which made me feel assured that my dog was being looked after and loved. She also left my house spotless which was much appreciated. I will definitely be calling Tiernan again the next time I have to go away.”

Jana K.

“Judi and James were fantastic and I will not hesitate to have them look after Dolly again! They stayed at my home for 10 days while I was overseas. I felt completely comfortable knowing that dog and house were being so well looked after. They did an amazing job with Dolly, taking her out for big hikes every day. I received a picture and a little update every day. 1000% pet sitters!!! Thanks Judi and James!”

About: We had a beautiful Golden Retriever 2013-2025 who went everywhere with me and was never left alone. I loved being with him, caring for him and other friends pets, walking, brushing, veterinary drop offs and collections as well as caring for elderly dogs too. I love all dogs. Will be with the dogs all day in my home and we have beautiful trails right at our doorstep for quick walks or longer hikes. Happy to be slower if dogs are older or small or longer if they have lots of energy. I work from home so pets would never be left alone, I have set up my work to fit in with caring for our own pet as a priority. Have looked after our own dog and walked 4-5 times daily with shorter potty breaks and longer excercise trips for 12 years. I have no fenced yard but have a provincial park and walking trails directly at my door so walking is never a problem. My own golden retriever will go outside for a variety of mini walks and a longer walk daily or we can take the car to other parks if requested.
