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: I have three dogs of my own and also foster dogs in my spare time. Working with animals has always been a passion of mine, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality and needs. I’d love the opportunity to care for your fur baby and give them the same love and attention I give my own. I’m currently taking some time off from my 9–5 and have the flexibility to provide 24-hour care for your fur babies. This includes home check-ins, and individual walks, giving me plenty of time to make sure they get the attention, care, and exercise they need. My main concern is always the safety and well-being of your animal. All walks are done individually so that I can give them my full attention and focus on proper training, handling, and making sure they are comfortable and safe throughout the walk.
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 😊
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.

How I Care for Pets in Your Home 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their usual routine.

I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved; whether that means long walks, outdoor adventures, playing with their favourite toys, or simply curling up for some company and cuddles. Over the years, I have been a proud pet parent to many, including cats, a black lab, corgi, toy chihuahua, yorkie, an american bulldog/english pointer foster fail and a doberman! So I understand that every dog has their own personality, quirks, energy levels, and routines.

When it’s time to wind down, there’s a big comfy couch, beside a warm fireplace and a king-sized bed for the ultimate cozy snooze. There are also crates, dog beds and blankies available for your pet to feel safe, relaxed, and spoiled with love while they’re here.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Summerland is $34 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $55 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 421 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting 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.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged 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.
