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.

I have over ten years experience owning and boarding dogs of all ages including puppy's. A day in the life at cats house: Outside time, meal time, rests, play catch, evening meal and one more play time to end the evening. Dogs can sleep where they would at home curled up on their bed or in a cozy crate. Our family tries to keep the dogs regular routines intact to minimize stress on dog.

The dogs have full access to the yard and our home. My husband and I do work out side of the home. The dogs are never left for more than 4 hours unattended.

“Deborah was perfect with Douggie! We'd highly recommend her as she was friendly and courteous, and knew how to handle his puppy energy in a loving way! Thanks, Deborah!”
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 their people.
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’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
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 have a big fenced in yard with a friendly dog who loves playing with other dogs. He’s amazing with cats and small animals. I live right on the KVR and easy excess to many adventures for your doggy!
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.
About: I have been taking care of animals for over 20 years. I started out at a young age taking care of neighbours and friends animals. I spent some time volunteering for various animal societies. I regularly support the BC SPCA. I am responsible and professional. I have open availability and I am typically available everyday. I love to get out on dog walks and hikes on my property, I live on 70 acres and being outdoor with animals is a given! There is a large grassed area here, rocky areas and a creek. I have animal crates if your dog is kennel trained. I live in the garden suite, there is safe area for just cats or everyone to be together and often where the dogs hang out with me in the living room when we aren't out on walks or hikes.
About: I have spent my entire life with pets. Since I was a little girl to present day as an 24 year old strongly dedicated to her studies and a responsible young lady prepared to take on all the challenges life gives to her. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats, they are very friendly and love to meet new friends. I am available pretty much all the time. I can teach dog tricks, cuddle them, love them and make them feel like a member to the family within minutes. I never leave my pets alone, I make sure they are always busy unless they are tired! I highly respect animals and strongly believe they should be treated as our equals! I currently work as an airline employee and this would be a wonderful gig to do on the side as I have a lot of down time being on reserve. I am a very active and outdoorsy person, and already spend multiple hours per day doing things with my dog, this would be a wonderful addition to my current routine. I ensure they are always fed, and have water, I also am always around to entertain the dogs and/or cats. With my animals at home I take them to dog parks, to the ocean or somewhere to go swimming, I meet up with friends for doggie play dates if I do not want to go to the dog park. I also always have toys or bones for them to play with and I am really big on training, so I always have training treats with me to continuously keep that bond going.

Summerland dog parents share their Rover experiences
I couldn’t be happier with the care Sydney provided for Leo. It’s not always easy finding someone who is comfortable and patient with a senior, 65lb Plott Hound, but Sydney was fantastic with him. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. Leo returned from his walks happy and well-exercised, and I really appreciated the updates she provided along the way. It gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. We will definitely be booking with her again!
