About: I have 10 years worth of experience! I’ve been around dogs my entire life, working with dogs of all ages and breeds! Ive been walking dogs since the age of 10 through my family friends dog boarding business! I’m available for dog walking Monday to Friday. From 9am to 6pm. I’m currently not working so I’m looking for as many jobs as I can get! I will ensure your pups are safe and sound with me! Providing fresh water on walks, treats and getting your pups the exercise they need!
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.
About: I have had the privilege of taking care of my own high energy dog, Luna, for 8 years. She has taught me all about caring for animals, such as what counts as a good walk, which treats are the best, how important belly rubs are, and that the couch is a shared space. I have trained her to have a strong recall as we go for many off leash walks. I also have experience training the basic obediences as puppies and teenage dogs, giving medication, and following medical procedure pre-cautions and guidelines. My neighbours have also asked me to look after and care for their pets along the way as well. I’m hoping to bring my knowledge of taking care of her to the dogs in town and give them the best walks and care. I’m currently a masters student with plenty of time to go on walks and explore the parks. I am used to fitting in two 1 hour walks per day and exploring different parks around the city. I am also a reliable student that can house sit while you are away. I am happy to adapt to you and your pups schedule and preferences as needed! I can easily adapt to you and your pups routine throughout our time together. If you have a favourite park I will be happy to take your pup there. If they have a bed time routine or eat only one brand of food and treats, I will honour that as well. I look forward to meeting you and learning all about your pup and their routine!
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I started caring for pets when I was 12, and what began as helping neighbors quickly grew into over 20 years of experience with cats, dogs, and even horses. From playful puppies to senior pets, I’ve seen it all and I know how to meet each animal where they’re at. I believe pets deserve more than just “care” — they deserve comfort, companionship, and someone who truly understands them. Whether that means long walks, gentle grooming, or just extra snuggles, I make sure every pet feels loved and safe while their people are away. You can relax knowing your pets will be treated like family, because to me, that’s exactly what they are. 🐾 Caring for others has always been at the heart of my life. I work casually as a care aid in healthcare, and caring for animals has been a constant alongside that for over 20 years. From cats and dogs to horses, I’ve loved being the person people can rely on when they need someone trustworthy and compassionate. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s keeping up with a playful pup, providing comfort to a senior cat, or just making sure your pets feel safe and loved, I treat every animal as if they were my own. When I care for pets in someone else’s home, I understand I’m being trusted with two of your most important things — your animals and your space. I take that responsibility seriously by keeping routines consistent, paying attention to details, and making sure pets and homes stay safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“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.”
“Kaylee was very nice and able to accommodate us last minute to make sure our dog was let out the next day. It was a relief knowing she was being let out and not having to rush back!”
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 experience with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies/kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. I go beyond the basics , adding playtime, enrichment, and affection so pets feel loved while their owners are away. Pet care is a consistent and rewarding part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, given fresh water, and enjoy time for exercise or play. I incorporate walks, and enrichment activities like training or interactive toys throughout the week to keep pets happy and healthy. I also monitor their behavior and well-being, noting any changes in appetite, energy, or mood. Regular communication with pet owners is a priority, so I provide updates and photos to ensure peace of mind. I prioritize a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment for every pet. In my home, I ensure clean, and free of hazards, with designated areas for rest, play, and meals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines and house rules closely, respecting their space while keeping pets happy and secure. I always supervise pets, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and maintain open communication with owners. My goal is to create a trustworthy environment where pets feel loved, safe, and relaxed whether at my home or theirs.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up on a farm with dogs and, in high school, worked as a veterinary assistant. Caring for animals has been a constant throughout my life, and I just love having them around. My husband and I recently said goodbye to our beloved cat after many wonderful years together. While we take some time to decide when to welcome another pet into our family, we're excited for the opportunity to care for yours. I work as a realtor with a flexible schedule and am currently completing my Master's degree in Counselling Psychology online. My husband also works from home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. While we don't have a large backyard, we have beautiful walking trails directly across the street and a dog park just a short walk away. We live in a quiet, family-oriented neighbourhood that is perfect for daily walks and outdoor time. Our goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and right at home. Thank you for considering us. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming your pet into our home. 🐾 I work as a realtor with a flexible schedule and am currently completing my Master's degree in Counselling Psychology online, so I spend much of my time at home.

There are 395 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Summerland. About 84% 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.

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 Summerland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 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!
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.
