About: What sets me apart is the level of presence and care I bring to each home and pet carting. 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. Tips are very appreciated and reviews are highly requested that keeps us encouraged and help Vanessa to go to Vet School 🥰😍❤️💕 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: 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..
“Sara is fantastic! Our dog Bodhi has a few quirks and she did an incredible job taking care of him. She is wonderful with communication, always on time, and clearly loves to care for animals.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and was responsible for caring for our family pets from a young age. I’d love to have a dog of my own again, but my daughter’s allergies mean we can’t currently have one in our home, so I really enjoy spending time with other people’s pets. Whether I’m out for a walk, popping in for a visit or staying in your home, I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and follow their usual routine. I’m happy spending time with playful, outgoing pets as well as those who need a slower introduction. My previous dog was a rescue dog that had separation anxiety and was reactive on leash and around certain people. Through lots of training together, I learned to read dogs’ body language, recognize triggers and handle walks calmly. I've always been the go to with friends and family to take care of their pets and I have experience caring for pets with medical issues who needed medication, including injections. I’m patient, attentive and want your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. As a self-employed designer that works from home, I have flexibility in my schedule. I keep my availability updated and communicate clearly before accepting each booking. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and your instructions so they feel comfortable in their own home. On walks, I’ll check that their collar or harness is secure, keep them on leash and be mindful of their surroundings. At home, I’ll be careful with doors and gates, refresh water and leave things tidy. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing.

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.

“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.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Penticton is $23
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Penticton is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $41 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 423 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Penticton. About 86% of Penticton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Penticton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Penticton after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Penticton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Penticton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
