“Kirsten did a drop in visit for our cat when we went away for the weekend. Our cat seemed happy when we got home. Kirsten was easy to reach by phone. We’d be happy to have Kirsten take care of Bentley again.”
“Sara recently watched our 6 month old kitten for a full week and absolutely exceeded our expectations. She made sure our little girl had lots of playtime and attention, sent us lots of updates, and even brought over some fun new toys to play with! We would definitely have Sara watch our kitty again and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone wanting to ensure their pet is well looked after.”
“Laurie and Terry are fantastic people. My cat Elio had the best care and attention, and I so appreciated not having to worry about how he was doing while away, because he was in such great company. Great updates and I really appreciated all the photos too 🙂”
“Loressa took great care of our cat Ember and followed all of our instructions to a T! We appreciated the regular updates and effort she made to play with Ember with her favourite toys. Our place was nice and clean when we got home to a happy kitty. Thanks Loressa!”
“Jennifer and her hubby did a great job checking in on Luna when we were out of town. They provided many pictures of their adventures in our backyard and when out with her for a little walk. It was a nice surprise that our spouses have worked together and know each other well. Jennifer is a very kind and caring lady and I would definitely hire her again to care for Luna.”
“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.”
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.
“Colleen was great. She was giving my dog his medication twice daily while we were away. It was reassuring to have her looking after him. We received updates and pictures which were greatly appreciated. My dog liked her and was happy to see her. Would definitely want to have Colleen look after him again if we go away again.”
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: New to Rover? Here’s 20% off your first booking: CHELSC36714 when you book with me! Look no further, you’ve found the perfect sitter for your fur baby! You can usually find me petting dogs in the corner during a house party. 😅 Frequent pictures/videos are my style! I love to keep you in the know on how your buddy is doing during his/her stay with me. From walking, pet sitting, or daily check in's, I've done it all. At this time, I can only accept well-behaved dogs. This means that they get along with other dogs and people, they are house trained, and they do not bark excessively when left alone. Slightly nervous dogs are welcomed as Ive had plenty of experience and am fully aware of sensing dogs energy, not being forceful, and making them feel comfortable in my/your space, however I do not accept any aggression. I hope to meet with you in your pup in the near future! I currently work part-time from home, so that only time your pet will be alone is if I have to run to the store. In that case I have a pet cam! I live in a ground-floor apartment with my fiancé who is a huge dog lover, although he is not home for half the month. We have many fields nearby and lots of hiking trail options. My energetic Australian Shepherd does not loose exercise because we don't have a yard. Depending on your comfort level, I mountain bike and off leash hike with my dog often and it’s a great way to tire them out.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets from dogs and cats, birds, exotic animals, farm animals, and I have confidently given medications orally. I usually will stop by before and after my shift ( I work 7 am to 7 pm. 4 days on 4 Days off ) if I am working that day I usually sleep at the cilents abode if that’s what the client prefers and then wake up hang out with the pet do their morning routine and then head to work. On the days I am not working. I am available more it depends on my clients preference and what they are looking for. Sometimes they want me to hang out with their pets all the time other times they’re like no I just want you to stop in and feed them. I’m pretty open to whatever. I prefer to take care of clients pets in their home environment. I don’t like having cilents pets in my home. Please and thanks 😊

“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: Although I have never had my own dog, I have spent a good amount of time with my friends and family’s dogs. I have experience walking and doing basic cares. I am currently working full time, so early mornings and evenings on the days I work will be when I am available. On my days off, I love to be outside, especially at the lake. I would love to take your dog with me and enjoy some water fun. I can do almost whatever cares you need for your pet in your home. I do have a fenced in backyard where well trained and calm dogs can play for short visits. I have my own car, so we can travel to walking paths or the beach for some summer fun.
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'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. I am part-time employed at present. 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’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.

You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, trustworthy hands. ❤️🐾

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our Moose! 🐾❤️ We were away in Europe for an extended vacation, and I’ll admit, we were pretty anxious about leaving Moose for so long. But knowing he was in Kirsten’s care gave us such peace of mind. This is the second time Kirsten has looked after Moose, and it’s so clear how much he absolutely adores her! There’s nothing better than knowing your fur baby is not only being well cared for, but genuinely loved while you’re away. Kirsten is wonderful, caring, and someone we trust completely in our home. We came home to one very happy kitty, and that means the world to us. We are so grateful for you, Kirsten! Moose already can’t wait for his next visit! 🥰😻🫎 Highly, highly recommend! ❤️
Jennifer and her hubby did a great job checking in on Luna when we were out of town. They provided many pictures of their adventures in our backyard and when out with her for a little walk. It was a nice surprise that our spouses have worked together and know each other well. Jennifer is a very kind and caring lady and I would definitely hire her again to care for Luna.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.

Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
