“Laura was responsive, flexible, and thorough. She took great care of my kitties (including vacuuming up their messes!) and provided photos of them enjoying her company. Would book with her again in a heartbeat.”
About: I have been a dog and cat owner for 25+ years. I currently have two cats of my own and understand the importance on checking in on them when you are away! I can provide cuddles, playing, litter-box changes etc. to make them feel comfortable. I have an active lifestyle and can keep your dog entertained and healthy throughout walks, runs, cuddling, and brushing. I have most experience with larger dogs (golden retrievers and huskies for example), but also am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I understand the importance of building a relationship of trust with dogs and how to make sure they feel loved as well. I look forward to making some new furry friends! I work part-time and am mostly available in the evenings + weekends. Please message me for more details. My schedule posted is up to date. I am currently not offering pet sitting in my own home. I care for pets by frequent bathroom breaks, brushing, playing and cuddling of course.
“Leah was great. Both Nigel and Sasha enjoyed their time with Leah. She was attentive, and looked after our pets and home with great care. We received daily updates along with pictures. We could not have asked for a better cat sitter.”
“Tamara was great! I have an old finicky cat and she was more than willing to accommodate his needs. Thorough and transparent communication, responsible and took care of my house like it was her own. I would recommend her anytime (except when I will need her again lol!)”
About: I’ve grown up with animals in every shape and size, from dogs and cats to horses and alpacas. Regarding experience, I frequently house-sit friends and family members pets, including large breed dogs and cats. I have a senior dog of my own and thus have experience giving medications and adapting daily walks. On a personal level in my final year of studies at UBCO, and I am an avid hiker and shameless reader. I’m happy to hang out with your pup with a good cup of tea, or you have a high energy dog who needs a hike once a week, I’m your girl. I currently attend classes in Kelowna Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Friday afternoons I and am happy to drop in outside of lecture hours. I am available weekends, especially for longer walks as I love a good hike! I do not bring pets to my home and I do not bring my pets on walks, or to other people’s houses. Not because I wouldn’t love to, but simply because it stresses my old dog out too much. But, that just means more attention is given to the pet I’m visiting and/or walking! I’m happy to follow a routine, and care for the animals i’m checking in on I’ll request to be outlined beforehand so I can keep up with your expectations and keep everyone safe.
About: I've always had a deep care for animals, and have never met a pet that I didn't love (and that didn't love me)! I have lots of experience (unfortunately) with administering medications and caring for my own terminally ill rescue pets over the years. I am between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is wide open! I love to explore the valley, so I'm consistently between Westbank and Enderby scoping out new hiking spots. I will stay with your pet for as little or as much time as you'd like! I am a helicopter parent to my own pets, so I have no issue following whatever requests you have that might seem crazy to others.
About: I’ve spent 15 years caring for animals of all shapes, sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies and rescue kittens and dogs with unique needs. My experience includes puppy training and development, socialization, positive-reinforcement training, reactivity management, agility work, and caring for cats and dogs with specific medical, dietary and behavioural needs. Over 15 years I’ve shared my home with Boston Terriers, Pitbull Shar-Pei rescues and two sassy rescue cats, and have helped friends and neighbours with pet sitting, boarding, walks and training. Most recently, I spent three months helping a neighbour with daily walks and training for their Husky puppy. I’m a big believer that every animal has their own personality, quirks and way of communicating. I enjoy getting to know each animal, respecting their individual needs, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe and cared while their people are away. I’m currently flexible and available for house sitting, drop-in visits and walks. I’m happy to build my day around your pet’s established feeding, exercise, training and care routines, so they can enjoy consistency and attention while you’re away. With 15 years of experience around animals, I’m comfortable working with different temperaments, energy levels and behavioural needs. From maintaining familiar routines to recognising behavioural cues and respecting boundaries, I take the time to understand what helps each pet feel secure. I follow your instructions carefully, pay attention to feeding and exercise needs, and use positive reinforcement where appropriate. I also respect your home and believe in keeping you informed, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are being cared for thoughtfully.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Vernon
Chloé went ABOVE and beyond to accommodate us and make sure our fur babies were well taken care of. My husband had a medical emergency while away which delayed our trip, and Chloe stepped up and made sure our cats were OK. It was so comforting getting pictures and videos daily and she responded very quickly if we have a question or reached out to her. 100% would use her again and have raved about her to friends and family already. Your pets are in the best hands with Chloe!!!

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.
