About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a child, and there has never been a time when dogs weren’t a part of my daily routine. Caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. Over the years, neighbours, friends, and family members have trusted me to walk, feed, care for, and love their pets while they’re away or when they need an extra hand. I truly can’t express the joy I get from spending time with a happy four-legged friend. Whether it’s going for a long walk, playing in the yard, or simply keeping them company, I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I currently work remotely from home so I have a very flexible schedule Monday-Friday. This leaves ample time to walk and play with fur friends. I am available Monday- Friday as needed for those that may have full time jobs away from home or need a little extra help during the day. I currently only offer dog walking so although your furry loved one will not be in my own home I bring years of experience walking dogs on leash or off. I know common dog commands and will follow any training techniques already in place for your animal.
About: I've always loved animals and have always had a pet. I have dogsat both puppies and senior dogs and am able to administer medications . I also have my masters in Reiki that I use on all the animals I look after. So usually the pet positions itself to enjoy the Reiki straight away. I'm currently not employed so I have alot of time to give your pet the attention he deserves! Unfortunately I can't bring another pet in My home due to Strata rules so I can only housesit in your home.. I would be happy to look after your pet in your home and spoil them silly with affection and long walks. Im also a big believer in keeping your house as tidy or more than when you left it..
About: I have looked after and fostered many pets for the last 15 years. Cats, dogs, bunnies, even turtles!! My friends call me Dr. Dolittle :) I work full time at the hospital but I love early morning strolls, time spent at the dog park and of course one on one time as well. I will care for your pet in the comfort of your/their home so their environment is not disturbed. I find that this has more positive results
About: I’m a loving and dependable dog sitter with five years of hands-on experience caring for my own rescue dog (Furby). That experience taught me the importance of patience, trust, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’ll treat your pup like my own—with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and attentive care. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priority. I work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I’m reliable, caring, and genuinely happiest around animals. I’ll treat your pets like my own—with lots of cuddles, playtime, patience, and care while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕 Your pet’s safety and trust always come first. I’m gentle, attentive, and respectful of their routine and personality. I’ll take the time to make them feel comfortable, keep a close eye on their needs, and provide plenty of love and reassurance while you’re away.

About: I love all animals and consider myself a cat person, although I love dogs too. I have taken care of roommates and coworkers dogs and enjoy long walks and lots of pets. I get out for walks every day with my daughter and would love a furry friend to accompany us. I am available during the day, 7 days a week to look after your pets. I currently have two cats who are very spoiled and live a happy indoor/outdoor life. I try to be active every day and enjoy walking dogs. I am responsible, patient and reliable.
“Ashlyn had great communication with us while we were away, and even sent pictures. It was so nice to not worry about the dogs. Ashlyn truly loves dogs. We are so happy we met her through Rover. Thank you, Linda”
About: I have worked in animal medicine for 27 years and owned/operated my own pet sitting business. I love all animals and have cared for birds, pocket pets, dog and cats. I am comfortable giving oral/topical and injections (ex. Insulin). Two years ago I spent a year getting certified in animal hospice and palliative care. I know leaving a little old timer at home is stressful and requires someone with advanced caregiving skills. I welcome dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, rodents and small reptiles. I am working from home. Animals who are cared for in our home are rarely alone. I can be available for visits during daytime or evenings. I have a quarter acre fenced yard. We have a pug named Bruce and a border collie named Biscuit. We live in a bi-level home in a quiet neighbourhood close to hiking trails that we frequent often. Pocket pets enjoy their own room and birds are upstairs with outdoor lookout.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Penticton
Kristin walked my dog Sasha twice yesterday and she was absolutely amazing. It was a bit of a last-minute booking, and she was super accommodating and easy to coordinate with—all over text, which made everything really convenient. I didn’t even meet her in person, and I still felt completely comfortable. She kept me updated and sent photos to show Sasha was safe and back home, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with—Sasha loved her. She was reliable, kind, and someone you can truly trust with your pet. I’d 100% recommend Kristin to anyone looking for a great dog walker. I’ll definitely be booking her again!
