Dog Walkers in Penticton

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.

“Sure! Here’s a review you can use for Phoebe, your dog walker: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can't say enough good things about Phoebe. From the very first day, she has been amazing. Phoebe is incredibly communicative, always arriving on time and keeping me updated with adorable pictures of Coco during their walks. It's clear that Coco really enjoys her time with Phoebe, and I feel so at ease knowing she’s in such capable hands. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring dog walker, I highly recommend Phoebe!”

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: What sets me apart is the level of presence and care I bring to each home. I focus on maintaining pets’ routines, comfort, and emotional well-being—not just meeting their basic needs. I’m patient, observant, and calm, which helps pets feel safe, especially puppies who are still learning and seniors who need gentler, more attentive care. My routine is built around doing what’s right for the pets I care for. I plan my days to ensure reliability, consistency, and calm, so each pet feels safe and well cared for in their own home. I prioritize safety, routine, and respect. I follow care instructions carefully, maintain a calm, secure environment, and stay attentive to each pet’s physical and emotional needs. Trust matters—to both pets and people.

About: With years of experience caring for pets, I've developed a keen understanding of their diverse needs and personalities. I adjust all my walks to meet each dog's specific requirements. If you have a very energetic young dog, we can go on challenging hikes to burn off that extra energy. Alternatively, if your dog is older or prefers a more relaxed pace, we can enjoy a stroll in a calm and peaceful environment. I have a very flexible part-time job, giving me plenty of free time to walk your dog. I can work around your schedule with morning, afternoon, and evening slots available. Whether it's a midday check-in or a weekend hike, I'm here to provide reliable care. I'm dedicated to providing a safe and trusted environment for your dog. My priority is their safety and well-being, ensuring they have a positive and enriching experience with responsible care practices and a genuine love for animals.

About: Our pets give nothing but unconditional love and that is what I give back as well. Coming home to my pets was the best part of my day. I have a one floor townhome and a fenced backyard for your dog to roam in. I live in a quiet and safe area with places to explore. I typically walk dogs twice a day before and after work. I always make sure their needs come first and will make sure that yours do to. I am a very relaxed dog owner and can ensure you that your pets will be well loved while in my home or at yours. I have owned 2 cats and 3 dogs that are no longer with me and want to fill that void again. All sizes of dogs are welcome in my home but I prefer to take non aggressive pets or un-neutered ones. I am very experienced with dogs of many ages and breeds, I can administer medications and assist with kennel training if needed. I do work full time days, but pets are never home alone for more than 8 hours during the week and on the weekends I spend as much time with them as possible. I am available during the week as well as weekends. I’d be honoured if you chose me for a temp home for your pets as I know how difficult it can be to go away. Before drop off I would like to do a meet and greet to ensure your comfortability and theirs. I currently work full time afternoons from Sunday to Thursday. It is important to me that all pets get time and social interaction. Outside of work I dedicate all my spare time to pet care when sitting. I am very relaxed and am ok with pets roaming around unless otherwise specified. I also have a decent sized home and yard and provide lots of attention and love to them.

“Thank you Chelsea! Really appreciate it. Ryder is super happy.”

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

“Sarah is fantastic with dogs. She knows how to approach them, and cares a lot. Our nervous puppers are way less nervous with her, we are so happy we found her!”

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 live right on the KVR and easy excess to many adventures for your doggy!

“My dog Jake loved his walks with Stacey! It was very helpful for my shift work to have her around! Also appreciated her knowledge and feedback when Jake had a little limp! 😀”

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.

About: I grew up on a farm, I have always been around animals, I love caring for them. I have experience raising puppies of many different breeds and I am dog first aid certified. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, I am very responsive with texting and always update my schedule right away! I can do emergency visits, night visits, anything really we can work it out, I know how stressful it can be to find someone in those situations. I cannot have any pets in my apartment unfortunately, I grew up on a farm and miss animals so much, pet sitting is a great way to still be able to enjoy taking care of animals, I am very responsible, clean, quiet and safe, I have experience raising puppies and can follow a routine easily. I want you and your pets to be as stress free as possible.

About: having grown up with cats and dogs, no home feels complete without a pet. i truly understand that animals become a part of the family and with a flexible “work-from-anywhere-with-wifi” career i can provide your pet with the love, care, and attention they deserve and need. both mobile and childfree, i can travel throughout the okanagan valley (or the Pacific Northwest for the right match). I am experienced from playful puppies to sugar-faced seniors and from kittens to cranky cats. no furry friend is too big or small! i work a flexible job, fully remotely so I can keep your pet company while working M-F. I am a Peachland loca: mobile, fit, young-ish, and childfree with most evenings and weekends open to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs. as a long time dog owner i believe in positive reinforcement training and will encourage good behaviour by rewarding with pre-approved treats. I observe dog body language to only touch or cuddle as much, or as little, as your pet may want. I completely understand being away from you family can be unsettling so your pets comfort is my ultimate priority :)

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.
