“My little dachshund Stanley loved Alyson from the second she walked into the house (and he isn’t like that with very many people). I felt very good leaving him with Alyson as I knew he was gonna be in good hands. Alyson was very attentive and communicative. I would ask her back in a heartbeat and not only that she is very lovely person. Alyson took very good care of my dog and my house was spotless when I got home. Thanks again Alyson🥰”
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 great! My Great Dane was in love with her the second they met at the meet and greet. Although my dog was uneasy when she came to my place on her own, she worked through it and had a great time together. Unintentionally, my sister saw Kaylee out for a walk with my dog, my sister said Kaylee was in control and the walk looked like it was going well!”
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: Hi! Matt and I have been lucky to share our lives with dogs for as long as we can remember. Whether it's caring for playful puppies or beloved seniors, our commitment is to give them all the love and attention they deserve. In our British Columbia home, you'll find us hanging out with Matt's two senior family dogs, a sweet lab and an independent shar pei. We're currently far from our BC home and haven't added any pets to the mix in Toronto (at least not yet!). We'd be thrilled to spoil your furry friend with lots of love, attention, and, of course, treats! We care for each pet like they're our own. I work from home between 9-5, Monday through Friday, so my schedule is highly flexible. Matt's schedule varies, with a mix of in-office and work from home. Our availability spans all seven days of the week, including holidays. We're more than happy to adjust to your pup's specific needs. Longer, more frequent walks throughout the day can be accommodated for high-energy pups. Low impact activities such as short washroom breaks, slow scent walks, or gentle play can be accommodated to meet the needs of senior or recovering dogs. We live in a spacious 2-bedroom apartment in the dog-friendly neighbourhood of Liberty Village. Our place is all about offering your pup a comfy space that feels like their home away from home. We let them roam around and accommodate their comfort. Just a short 5-minute walk are two enclosed dog parks and 3-10 minute walk from scenic waterfront paths and some of Toronto's best historic parks. You can expect regular updates and ample photos throughout the day so you can stay connected to your fav pup's adventures. We will also provide a detailed care card at the end of their stay.
“Milissa was a great house/dog sitter. We will definitely use her again. My older dog warmed up to her and was very relaxed around her. She sent pictures of our dog and let us know how she was doing. Cleaned the suite up before we even got home.”
“This was the first time we used Chantelle's services, and we were very pleased with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. You know she was great when your dog was sad to see her leave ... lol. Thanks again Chantelle!”
“Lora was super friendly at the meet and greet and was great with both of our dogs. She sent an update every day while we were which was much appreciated! The dogs were clean and happy when we came home ?”
“Tera was an excellent sitter. From the initial connection to the moment the booking came to an end she was an excellent communicator. It seemed she left our house cleaner than what it was when we left. Our dogs were so content when we got home, it was like we hadn't left at all. The dogs seemed to miss her the first evening we were home, they watched for her arrival, like she was now a part of our family! We have a senior dog that had been fussy at meal times, we left as many food choices for Tera in hopes that she had success with feeding. Tera found a solution on her first meal time, our doggo needed to have a raised food bowl, likely due to sore joints in the shoulders or neck! She found a way to raise his bowl for each meal, and he was an excellent eater from then on. We now are in search of a raised bowl for a permanent solution. Tera's experience clearly came through in this situation, and we are so very grateful to her. We highly recommend and will hire Tera again in the future.”
About: I am very active outdoors- walking, running, hiking. My family home had two dogs, one day I plan to take on the responsibility of my own pup, and in the meantime I cherish any opportunity to care for them:) I currently work part time and do personal projects. You can expect your pup to have morning, afternoon and evening walks during the weekday, and join me for adventures on the weekend. Some common ones being walks and hikes on nearby trails. Scratches and cuddles, food and fresh water as per their schedule, playing with them. Kindness and affection are absolutes. Any other elements like toys or favorite spots to ensure they feel safe.

“Annalise stayed at our house and looked after our 3 bullmastiffs for a week. She was incredible, she went above and beyond, left the house in better shape than when we left, she really went the extra mile and I couldn’t recommend her more !!!”
About: I've taken care of my family dog many times. I've also taken care of my friends' pets including cats and puppies. I am reliable and keep a clean and tidy place. I love walking dogs, no matter the weather. I am a full-time teacher so during the week I am pretty busy and have limited time, but I love going hiking and running on the weekends, so I am happy to dogsit over the weekends or on holidays! I am very reliable and organized. I am attentive to the pets' needs and am great at communication with clients. Your pets will be well cared for with me :) I live in an apartment, but it is very easy to step outside, and there is the Mission Creek trail that is a few minutes walk away from my place.
“Christina was so wonderful with both our dogs and we would highly recommend her. She spent 9 days with them and they were so happy and calm and very well loved. She took incredible care of our home and went above and beyond. The pictures she sent us showed how much fun she was having with the dogs and how happy they were in her care. She very capable, mature and responsible.”

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Summerland maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Summerland walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Summerland 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
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.
