“Jesi gave extra special care to our two cats. She seemed to be genuinely interested and engaged during her visits. She took on the challenge of giving eye drops to one of the cats and demonstrated competence and gentleness. We will definitely have Jesi back to care for our cats.”
“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!”
“Laurie and Terry did a great job looking after our girl Ember. It was great to have regular updates and know she was getting some supervised outside time while we were away, and lots of play time! We came back to a happy kitty and a clean home :)”
“Kirsten is the single best cat sitter we’ve had. She’s a pleasure to deal with, very accommodating, and the cats have genuinely warmed up to her. It’s peace of mind she’s looking after our pets while we’re away.”
“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 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 😊

“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. 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.

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. 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: 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Penticton on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 397 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Penticton. About 83% 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.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Penticton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
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.
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!
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
