House Sitting Lake Country

“As a first time user of Rover, I was quite nervous leaving our two small dogs. Kirstin was great with them and even came back immediately to assist further when the airline left us stranded over night and out of province. Kirstin relieved a large amount of stress during an already stressful time. The dogs were healthy and happy and the house was left clean! I was also very thankful for the regular pictures showing them in their regular routine. We are very thankful to connect with Kirstin!”

“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.”

About: I have grown up my whole life with animals. I currently have four dogs and four cats at home. I truly believe pets add so much love to the household. my hours are very flexible and change everyday. I work shifts at a local restaurant in oyama and also at mission hill winery. I’m usually free in the mornings and afternoons/nights vary. I cannot bring pets into my apartment, but will do whatever is needed at a clients home:) obviously each home is different and i will cater to needs, for example taking the dogs for a walk if there is no yard or constantly keeping an eye on the pet if they like to get into things.

“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 !”

About: I have a lifetime of experience working with all sorts of dogs, including puppies, elderly dogs and dogs requiring special care and/or medications. I am also experienced in dog training and grooming. I’m currently a student meaning I spend most of my time at home. Doing online classes can make it difficult to have typical a 9-5 job, being one of the reasons I started dog walking and sitting. As well as it being a passion I’ve had since a very early age. I have a home with a fenced in open space for your fur-babies. As well as many hiking trails located nearby for your pups to explore! Potty breaks every two hours as well as 2-4 walks a day.

About: Ive always loved dogs and the outdoors. I really enjoy hiking which is perfect for higher energy dogs to get some extra exercise, but willing to tailor the activity level to the dog. Also willing to take well trained dogs swimming in summer months. Currently working for a freeze dried raw pet food manufacturing company. 20 years of dog care experience. Raised 2 from puppies including all training. Was praised for having the best trained dog over the last few years. Friends still compare other dogs to him, even after his passing. I am currently working full time at a company that manufactures pet food. Looking to take pets for walks on weekday/weekend evenings and available for some pet sitting on select weekends if booked in advance. I am right next to the Okanagan rail trail for convenient walks and love doing short trips up Spion Kop mountain. I always bring treats and have experience in canine nutrition from working at a pet food manufacturer.

“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 :)”

About: I've always had a deep care for animals, and have never met a pet that I didn't love (and that didn't love me)! I have lots of experience (unfortunately) with administering medications and caring for my own terminally ill rescue pets over the years. I am between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is wide open! I love to explore the valley, so I'm consistently between Westbank and Enderby scoping out new hiking spots. I will stay with your pet for as little or as much time as you'd like! I am a helicopter parent to my own pets, so I have no issue following whatever requests you have that might seem crazy to others.

“We went away for nearly a week and wanted someone to stay at our house since we have two large senior dogs and didn’t want to put them through the stress of boarding elsewhere. Melissa did a great job for us. She came before our trip for a meet and greet and for us to answer any questions she might have. While away the communication and updates were great. Upon arriving home the dogs were happy and the house was left exactly as we left it. We highly recommend Melissa and plan on using her again in the future.”

“This is the second time that Miranda took care of my dogs. She is very responsible and she loves taking care of dogs. My dogs are happy with her. Whenever she sent some pictures, I could tell that my dogs were very happy. Thank you Miranda!”

About: I've been pet sitting for 21 years and have spent my life caring for animals of all kinds. Over the years, I've worked as a pet sitter, dog walker, kennel assistant, veterinary assistant, and now working toward a profession of dog training, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. What sets me apart is that I don't simply exercise dogs - I help them build better habits. Every walk is a training opportunity, with a focus on calm behaviour, loose leash walking, engagement, impulse control, and good manners, all tailored to your dog's individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, reactive or anxious dogs, high-energy breeds, and pets requiring medication or special care. Whether your dog needs an adventure, extra patience, or a consistent routine while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own while providing plenty of updates and photos for your peace of mind. I'm currently building my dog training business full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my attention to every pet in my care. I'm available for weekday walks, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, and overnight care. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, every dog receives plenty of individual attention, exercise, and enrichment. My goal is quality care - not rushing from appointment to appointment. Your pet's safety and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each dog's personality, routines, and comfort level before every booking. I use secure equipment, practice safe handling, and never introduce unfamiliar dogs unless requested by the owner. For boarding, dogs become part of my daily routine with structured walks, rest periods, enrichment activities, and lots of one-on-one attention. I maintain a calm environment that helps dogs feel relaxed and secure while you're away. You'll also receive regular photo updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I am an active & very mobile lady who can offer various types of walks from leisurely to high energy, rain or shine. On leash is preferred but for well trained dogs I will consider off leash. Pick up and drop offs are available for one hour walks. Your dog/s should be dog friendly but if not then I will work with you so your fur baby can have the best experience possible. I can administer medication. As a responsible, skilled, current small dog owner, and former two large dogs & cat mom, your animals will be treated with lots of compassion and love. I will text or email pictures, videos and memos to keep you updated every step of the way. House sitting available.

“Erik was so amazing to have sit at our house! He made sure our 13 week old puppy was very well taken care of while we were away for a few days. Our house was left very clean and tidy! We couldn’t ask for anyone better. Thanks Erik! Olive will miss you”

About: I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with dogs — whether it’s energetic playtime with puppies, calm walks with seniors, or everything in between. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort. Im currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups. 5pm onwards I will be available for pet sitting over night. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their normal routine, keep the space tidy, and ensure all doors/windows are secure. I send regular photo/text updates so owners can relax knowing their dog is happy and safe. I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality and needs, whether they’re high-energy or more relaxed.

About: I have over four and a half years of pet retail experience as well as 18+ years experience caring for my own pets. I have extensive knowledge of pet nutrition as well as food allergies / intolerances. I am comfortable feeding a raw diet as well as administering medications. I am currently available weekends with the exception of some evening check-ins during the week. I am available to stay in your home or host your fur babies at my home! Your pets comfort and happiness is top priority and I'm happy to accommodate as much as possible! Meet and greets are a must for any over nights or long term care.

“Eva was amazing. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars. She took such great care of my cat and also went above and beyond to take care of my home while I was gone. That was such a treat to come home to after an exhausting trip. She listened well to all my instructions and took great care to make sure everything was taken care of. Will definitely be using her services 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.”

About: My personalized approach to every pup’s unique needs sets me apart. I’m experienced in training playful puppies and providing attentive care for senior dogs with mobility challenges. Beyond basic sitting and walking, I incorporate fun, mentally stimulating activities and lots of love, ensuring your dog feels happy and comfortable.

As a student working mostly online, I have the flexibility to be home often, which means I can provide your pet with consistent attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday play session, or evening cuddles, I can easily accommodate your pet’s needs while balancing my studies. This setup lets me ensure your furry friend feels comfortable and well cared for, even on busy days. I create a calm and safe environment in my home tailored to each pet’s needs. I provide plenty of space for play, rest, and exploration and structured routines for feeding, walking, and enrichment activities. I prioritize comfort and keep the home pet-proofed to ensure their safety. When caring for pets in a client's home, I maintain their established routines and preferences, ensuring consistency and minimizing stress. I’m attentive to special instructions regarding feeding, medication, or exercise. I aim to provide a smooth and stress-free experience for both pets and owners, whether home or away.

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.
