“Absolutely lovely couple. Prompt, professional, and they very obviously love what they do. They'll be watching our dog over the holidays, so we'd set up some walks beforehand to get the dog comfortable with them. When he came home, I thought he was going to try to leave with them! Highly recommended.”
“Chloé was so accommodating and very good with our dog. Our dog has some anxieties and Chloé made us feel very comfortable and we knew she was in safe hands. She also took lots of beautiful photos of our dog. Thanks Chloé!”
“Tammy has been walking Loki for quite some time. She is amazing with her and her little quirks meeting other dogs. Loki looks forward to her walks and is very vocal greeting Tammy now. Thanks Tammy you are awesome!”
“Scott is great with our big dog! 5 STARS! He built a connection and trust very quickly with our German Shepherd-Coon Hound mixed breed. Scott is reliable, responsive, and has an obvious great love of dogs. Scott is highly recommended by us and our dog!”
“Tamara was so responsive, sent pictures, and did everything we asked with walking our dogs! It made it easy for us to be away for the day and know the dogs would get a good walk. Highly recommend!”
About: The dog skill of staying aware of my surroundings has taught me everything I need to know to continue living a stress free life with my dog. All dogs are different and I can show them a comfortable attitude while providing some healthy exercise. My schedule is open to fit your needs at the moment and I can commute near my home quickly in a car for emergencies. Since we live in a tough environment I will come prepared for the weather appropriately. I usually take my dog out 3 to 4 times per day which includes picking up poop and learning of basic tricks. She is 5 but strong as labradors are because of their size.
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.
About: I've had many pets throughout my life, including a snake, hedgehog, dog, and many cats! I'm a quiet person and I enjoy spending time with animals. I recently moved back to the area so I have a lot of free time to watch your pets! Day or night, whatever you need. If I'm staying at your house I will respect the house rules and follow the guidelines you give me in order to give your animals the best experience possible.
About: I grew up with dogs around me, and have a passion for them. I would love to care for your dog and give them a fun, exciting day. I have a soft spot for pets and love to care for them in any way possible! I use bus to transport in and around Vernon. I have my Pet First Aid (June 2026) I have a free schedule and am able to be flexible around yours and your pets needs! I enjoy being outside during the day, and mornings and afternoons are perfect for me! I have high standards for safety when it comes to your pet. I am efficient and always on time! I work best with small dogs, and am eager to meet your pet!
About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and since I became an adult, I have provided pet sitting services for many friends and coworkers. I can provide a long list of references, including both a veterinarian and a vet tech. I work a flexible job that allows me to work from my home or yours. I can take breaks as needed to ensure your pet gets frequent pee breaks, and lots of snuggles and playtime (if that’s their thing, I’d also love it if they just want to chill out and watch me type away at my laptop). Pets are good company! I am not able to care for pets in my own home at this time, so I will come to you! I am a vigilant and reliable caretaker.
“LAURA'S LOVE FOR ANIMALS AND HUMAN KINDNESS IS MORE THAN APPARENT. MY DOG ADORES HER! ACCORDING TO THE UPDATE PHOTOS AND THE BIG GRIN ON HIS FACE, HE HAD A FANTASTIC TIME :) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER FOR ANY SERVICE”
About: I have had 4-legged animals for most of my life. I also know CPR for Animals and I am certified and have a Nursing Background. . . I am currently retired. I have had dogs and cats almost my entire life. I have a nursing background and I’ve also taken CPR for dogs and cats. I love animals and now that I have more time off I find myself looking after my friends and neighbour's dogs. Up until just a few weeks ago when I lost my little girl… I find I have way too much time on my hands and really miss four-legged companions. Warning… I will treat your babies like I treat my own. They will be loved, pampered and cared for. I will respect your wishes if there are certain things you don’t want them to have or if you’re trying to train them I will follow your instructions on what you want for them. But I hope you’re not going to mind when I spoil them just a little bit. I was also involved in the SPCA in the lower mainland and help them out when they needed someone. I have a fenced yard. I’m not too far from Mutrie Park. Depending on the Pet parents whether they would like me to come to them or if they’re fine with them staying with me. When they’re here, they have full range of the house which is pet proof….
“Maddy has been walking my Border Collie for several months and he always comes home super happy and ready for bed! Charlie needs a lot of exercise and play, Maddy has been great at making time in her busy schedule to give him the attention he needs. She always sends updates and feedback with lots of cute photos.

About: 🐾 What Sets Me Apart 🐾 I have had pets my whole life. Since I was a young child. We always had dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters and fish. I loved taking care of them but since getting older I have not had a chance to have my own as I generally am in rentals that don't allow pets so I love to look after others when they are away. I treat every pet like my own, catering to their unique needs, routines and quirks. I am experienced & trustworthy – I have years of experience with dogs & cats of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. Clients often call me the pet whisperer as their pet comes to me willingly when they might not with others because of my calm, gentle and grounded personality. As a trauma recovery coach specializing in nervous system regulation, I create a soothing and safe environment for pets, especially anxious or rescue animals. I take your dogs on engaging walks, engage in interactive play with your pets and give mindful attention to their well-being, not just basic care. I am flexible & reliable – I work around your schedule to ensure stress-free pet care. I work from home as I am a Trauma Recovery Coach so I see my clients online. I generally help clients regulate their nervous system or give them mindfulness practices. So I am often doing meditations with them or calming sessions with them. I take breaks in between clients and go for walks so can be sure to give your pet the extra attention it needs. I generally go to your home to take care of your pet. I do have a yard with a fence right now though which is helpful.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Vernon. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.

To find walkers in Vernon with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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.

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 walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 Vernon 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!
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
