“Tessa looked after Wes for a few days while I was in town working and Wes just loved his time with her! She's an awesome person and I would highly recommend her! Will definitely reach out next time im in town! Thanks Tessa!”
“I recently visited Kelowna and needed someone to take care of my dog, Aki, on short notice. I was incredibly fortunate to find Suzanne. She was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I contacted her, she was friendly and accommodating. She took Aki in without hesitation and provided ample space for her to run and play. It was clear that she truly understands and loves dogs. Aki was well looked after, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Suzanne to anyone in need of pet care. Her kindness and dedication to Aki's well-being made all the difference during my trip.”
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.
“Jeanine was great with our little Marty. He is quite shy with separation anxiety. I used to worry leaving him at doggy day care, but I felt much better leaving him with Jeanine and Tegan. Jeanine has a large gated yard yet still went the extra mile to put up more barricades by her fence to make sure little 10 pound Marty couldn’t sneak out. We look forward to Marty spending more time with Jeanine and Tegan.”
“We have nothing but fantastic things to say about Jutharat. Our pooch was so happy to spend time there and was treated so well. We received photos and updates about all the excitement and adventures. We will absolutely be bringing Dolly back!”
“Carla was great! We sent a last minute request for doggy daycare and she was able to accommodate us. We also appreciated her flexibility on drop off/pick up times. She was quick with communication and sent several updates including pictures and videos. Carla took Cass on a couple longer walks which he loves.”
“Bryden and Colleen watched wick for me on very short notice and were just great. Thanks for being so hospitable and welcoming! Wick was a very content dog after getting to play in their backyard. Would recommend to anyone!”
“From drop off to pick up everything was absolutely perfect! Pictures and videos of my fur love put me at ease. Thank you, will keep you on my list next time I need sitting. ⭐️”
“Julie was great: good communication, quick to reply, and sent photos over the day so we knew our dog (Davis) was ok. This was Davis' first time with a pet-sitter and he is a bit wary of strangers but he walked right into Julie's place! She was also very kind when we were late picking up Davis (minor bike crash caused delay) and Davis had no complaints about spending the day with her.”
“Nash had a great time playing at Darcy’s and is exhausted now ha ha. He always gets excited when we drive up to her place. She takes good care of Nash. Thank you Darcy!!”
“Marylin took wonderful care of our dog Polly. She came home happy and content after every visit. We're grateful for her care and are looking forward to more visits in the future!”
“Colleen and Andrew were fantastic. They were very receptive to my pup's unique quirks and were keen on taking in him for the day. They sent updates throughout the day and provided feedback when I picked him up. Their backyard is a huge perk, and their neighborhood provides some awesome walking for the hound. I'll definitely go back to them, as long as they welcome Rudder back!”
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.
“John and Lisa were excellent with our pup Milo. They were very accommodating and very friendly :) I would recommend them to anyone looking for any dog sitting service. Thank you John and Lisa!”
“Chelsea took wonderful care of our nervous pup. This was our first experience using rover and it was great! Hoping our dog can be looked after by Chelsea again soon in the future!”
About: I would like to open our home to other dogs families in need of dog daycare, walking, boarding etc. I have a 7 year old labrador retriever, and his goofy energy is contagious. He is very friendly to other dogs. I am highly organized, and love all types of dogs. I offer home check ups, dog daycare, dog boarding, and dog walking services. Having raised our pup Maple full time, from 8 weeks old, and I have a lot of patience and care to offer. I hope to hear from you soon! I work casually as a nurse, so my schedule is flexible and I can essentially pick and choose my work days which opens up my availability to care for pups :) I am comfortable with all types of dogs, and I'm happy to hang out at home with them or take them for fun times at the park. I live alone and have no children besides my fur baby.
“Great experience all the way around. I required last minute assistance with my very senior dog Ashton and was relieved when Carissa was available to keep my old man overnight so I could enjoy my Daughters wedding. Due to a hectic schedule I needed help dropping him off and of course was late picking him up. When I arrived I found my dog relaxed and could tell he was comfortable. She was understanding of my time restraints and very pleasant to deal with. I met her big teddy bear of a pup who I could see was a gentle giant compared to my frail 16 yo poodle X. I highly recommend her here in Penticton and will absolutely use her services next time we are in the area. Thank you so very much for your help Carissa!”

There are 144 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Summerland. About 85% of Summerland 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.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Summerland commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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 dog, 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in BC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
