“Kirsten is absolutely the best pet sitter! She watched our cat while we were away for a week and we couldn't be happier. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated each visit. She even spent extra time with our kitty. Cannot recommend her enough!!”
“Laurie was absolutely amazing when she cared for my cats while I was away for 9 days. I was nervous about leaving them for that long but having Laurie care for them put my mind at ease and she really did a phenomenal job keeping me informed with how things were going. Prior to my going away she dropped in two different times to make sure she fully understood what my/my cats needs were. I could tell she really cared about my animals well being and kept them happy with consistently and the support they needed.”
About: I have owned a variety of animals including rabbits, gerbils, fish and a cat. I have been a go-to pet sitter for my friends' cats, dogs and rabbits. Always open to learning more about different kinds of pets! I am available for overnight pet sitting, check ins and dog walking 7 days a week. I have a flexible schedule and am currently seeking employment. I bond with animals on their terms and am very good with following specific instructions. I am experienced with reading cat, dog and rabbit body language and verbal cues.
“Kaylee was very nice and able to accommodate us last minute to make sure our dog was let out the next day. It was a relief knowing she was being let out and not having to rush back!”
About: I've cared for pets for over 20 years. I pay close attention to body language and consider individual pet needs. I know how precious our fur babies are to us and treat every animal with love and respect. I look forward to getting to know them! -Sarah I have Friday to Sundays free and week day evenings. I am flexible and can walk pets/provide outdoor play at any time given my property. Hello! I always do my best to provide the best care possible. I have a questionnaire I ask clients to fill out to first better understand your pets' needs. I assess everything from energy levels to favourite activities and feeding schedules. I'll always treat your fur baby like they are my own with care and attention. I can provide behavioural support, but only if asked; I'd like our time together to be fun and positive. If you have any questions, feel free to ask anytime. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, I bring a deep love and understanding to every pet I look after. From playful zoomies to peaceful senior strolls, I’m here to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home. I’ve personally raised and cared for three dogs of different breeds, and I’m confident handling all kinds of temperaments and energy levels. I’m happy to help with bathing, walks, playtime, and even basic training — including sit, recall, leash manners, and potty training. I’m especially mindful of age-specific needs, whether it’s soothing anxiety, supporting mobility issues, or simply knowing when a pup needs a little extra patience or comfort. Whatever your dog requires — special instructions, medications, or routines — I’ll follow it closely to ensure they feel loved and well cared for. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’d be honored to care for them like one of my own Pet care is a natural and rewarding part of my daily life. I build my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they get consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. Whether I’m doing drop-in visits, walks, or full-time pet sitting, I make sure each pet has a set routine they can rely on — from morning potty breaks and mealtime to evening walks and wind-down time. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions closely to maintain their familiar routine and environment. I respect your space and your pet’s comfort zone — whether that means quiet companionship or engaging activities. From feeding and walking to medications or special care, I treat your home and pet with the same love and attention I’d give my own.
“Phoebe was great! Easy to communicate with and plan with. Very friendly and my little girl loved her! It's always hard on me to leave my cat, but knowing Phoebe was coming to check on her made it easier. I will definitely rebook and would refer her to anyone! Absolutely loved the little video clips and pictures.”
“Sarah was wonderful! She was very calm and gentle with our somewhat fearful, unconfident dog, and by the end of her three visits with him he really liked her. She is very knowledgeable about dogs, & provided exercise and enrichment in the form of some dog puzzles on one very cold day. She even leant us a dog harness because we had forgotten ours. We will definitely try to book Sarah again when we are next in Fernie.”
About: I have had both dogs and cats since I was a small child. I’ve volunteered at the SPCA for years and have a 4 year old dog and 23 year old cat who I absolutely adore. I am an animal lover with a 6th sense for communicating and interacting with all animals. I am always out on adventures and would love to take your doggy along or board them overnight. My dog is the friendliest and loves playing with other dogs and any animal really! I have a big fenced in yard and live downtown Penticton close to the beaches, hiking trails and the off leash dog beach! I am currently available 7 days a week for dog/puppy/cat sitting, dog walks/adventures and doggy/cat boarding and visits! Monday-Sunday. Happy to watch your little fur ball! I have a big fenced in yard with a friendly dog who loves playing with other dogs. He’s amazing with cats and small animals. I live right on the KVR and easy excess to many adventures for your doggy!
About: I am the first person most family, friends or neighbours call when they need someone to keep an eye on their home and their beloved pets. I have owned pets since I was young. So I am comfortable around dogs, cats, small animals and fish tanks. Apart from the usual diet and exercise expected, I have experience administering meds for cats and dogs (pills & needles) if required. I have fun trying to teach dogs how to dance! I frequently housesit for extended periods during the winter months, keeping your home safe and warm while you enjoy the warmth of a faraway beach. If I am housesitting I will be around all day, for other pet care I can do visits on a schedule that works best for you. I will follow any safety precautions set out by the owners. The safety of your pets, your house and my own safety are top priority.
About: I've had a cat back at homecountry for 10 years (she still lives her happy life with family back there). Often after first dog sitting in Okanagan clients become my regulars. UPD! At present I am unemployed, so I can spend more time with your pet. When I am not at work I'm fully focused on spending good time with the pets I'm looking after. Ensure perts are walked on leash, check for signs of discomfort, daily walks for dogs/ playtime for cats, regular brushing, cleaning litter boxes, ensure pets are fed on schedule and have fresh water.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, both cats and dogs :) I have helped train animals from a young age, do both on & off leash walks and help teach new tricks I work shift work, which means I’m very flexible on time to care for pets throughout each week and day, I can be available in daytime or evenings, and overnight as well depending on the week. I care for pets in all ways, can do walks, baths, cuddles (of course) and will ensure the home is kept clean. Will play as much as the pet would like & ensure they get lots of exercise
About: I'm an active volunteer with the SPCA (providing dog and cat support) and Elderdog, and I regularly dogsit for friends. I have Pet First Aid and CPR training and experience caring for senior dogs. My criminal record and vulnerable sector checks are up-to-date. I am without a dog of my own for the first time in many years and I miss the companionship of a furry friend. I'd love the opportunity to spoil yours! *I am currently offering boarding for one dog only up to 65lbs (30kgs). My schedule varies, but is usually quite flexible as I work part-time from home. I am happy to discuss your pet's needs with you and together we can determine how best to meet them. Your dog will be treated like one of the family and have access to the entire house and yard. I am also a big supporter of positive, reward-based training methods (such as AnimalKind).
About: I have two larger dogs who I take out for daily walks, hikes or to the park. I am happy to take your dog out from your house for a walk or to the park. I am also happy to take your dog in my vehicle for either an on leash or off leash hike. I also have a 5 month old baby who would be joining me. I am currently on maternity leave and I love to be outside going for walks or hikes or just playing with animals to fill my spare time. I am happy to come over to keep the animals company and give them love while you are away. I don't mind changing the litter box giving treats or feeding.

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.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
