About: I'm an active volunteer with the SPCA (providing dog and cat support) and Elderdog, and I regularly dogsit for friends. I have Pet First Aid and CPR training and experience caring for senior dogs. My criminal record and vulnerable sector checks are up-to-date. I am without a dog of my own for the first time in many years and I miss the companionship of a furry friend. I'd love the opportunity to spoil yours! *I am currently offering boarding for one dog only up to 65lbs (30kgs). My schedule varies, but is usually quite flexible as I work part-time from home. I am happy to discuss your pet's needs with you and together we can determine how best to meet them. Your dog will be treated like one of the family and have access to the entire house and yard. I am also a big supporter of positive, reward-based training methods (such as AnimalKind).
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.
“We left Cooper for a daycare visit, I felt very comfortable leaving him with Colleen and Andrew. Their dogs were very good with Cooper. I would definitely leave Cooper with them again. Thank you taking good care of him”
“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!”
“Julie was great with my nervous little guy and agreed to take him at the last minute to spare him the stress of dealing with movers coming in and out of our new place at the end of a long distance move. He settled in with her immediately and Julie kept me updated with photos. I'm so grateful that she was able to give him a quiet safe haven during a stressful time!”
“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!”
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.
About: **** I used to pet-sit in Calgary, now after almost a year I am back, settled down in Penticton, and I am ready to meet new pups and make them experience their best vacation time while you are away **** Growing up, I've always been surrounded by pets—dogs, cats. I have taken care for extended period of time of family, friends and neighbors dogs and cats. I was a foster home for a boxer-lab mix puppy till we found his forever home. I used to work as aupair (nanny) and take care of their Bernese dog Maya, their little puddle Biscuit and cat Ferguson for a whole year. I owned my self a dog for 15 years that used to traveling with me and my family back when I was still leaving in Europe. What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine passion for ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. They're family. Whether it's playing with a high-energy puppy or offering a gentle touch to a senior dog with special needs. I also have experience with puppy training basics, helping your little one develop good habits from an early age. Additionally, I'm especially patient and attentive when it comes to senior pets, offering the extra care they need for mobility issues, medications, or simply a quieter, more comfortable environment. My goal is to make sure your pet feels relaxed, happy, and well-cared for while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in loving hands. I work from home, which means I'm always here with your pet—never leaving them alone. This flexible schedule lets me take your pet for walks before, during, and after my work hours, ensuring they get plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly apartment just steps away from a local dog park, providing the perfect space for your pet to enjoy outdoor fun and exercise. When your pet stays with me, I ensure a secure, loving environment tailored to their unique needs. Your pet will receive personal attention, feel safe, and be comfortable throughout their stay. I don’t use a crate unless specifically requested, allowing your pet the freedom to relax and feel at home. To ensure individualized care, I only board one dog at a time unless you're the owner of two dogs, so your pet gets all the focus and attention they deserve.
“Jeanine is lovely and so compassionate towards the dogs in her care. She allowed my dog to explore and get himself situated and warm up to her and the environment at his pace. Would absolutely recommend her!”

It has been said that "...a tired dog, is a happy dog"....well, let's just say that Rupert is one happy dog. Thanks so much for your hospitality. Will book again soon! Merrilee & Murray”
“Leanne was great. Despite Angel and Birdie being very excitable and energetic (and nervous) as they are brand new to us, she was able to cope and keep them happy. I would definitely recommend Leanne in the future.”
“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!!”
“Sylvie was amazing to deal with from the get-go. Quick to respond, experienced, clean, comfortable environment and very friendly. She spoiled my girl, took her out for a ride in her convertible and got her a treat. I am so thankful! 5 stars, would recommend and use again!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a life without them. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and love giving dogs attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are busy. Spending time outdoors with dogs is something that naturally brings me joy. Flexible availability during weekdays and weekends. I run my own business, so I have the flexibility to create my own schedule and work around both client appointments and pet care needs. I’m very organized with my time and always make sure dogs get the attention, exercise, and consistency they deserve. I also have a dog of my own who gets lots of walks, exercise, and outdoor time daily, so caring for dogs is already a natural part of my lifestyle. I offer lots of love and attention. I love to play with dogs and take them for long walks, I think it’s super cute when they’re having the best time!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Summerland on Rover is $26.75 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 160 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Summerland. About 92% 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.
