About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep understanding of animal behavior and my ability to tailor care to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with everything from training energetic puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets who need extra patience and comfort. I’m skilled in administering medication, handling special dietary needs, and recognizing signs of stress or illness early on. I am available for boarding on weekdays, weekends and holidays. I will have plenty of time to play with your pup! Sometimes I work one-two days a week. In my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and enrichment activities tailored to their needs. Whether it’s daily walks, interactive toys, or a cozy spot to relax, I make sure they feel at home. I maintain a clean space, follow their feeding and medication schedules, and ensure they receive plenty of attention and affection.
“Marcella was fantastic! She took my little dog on short notice and I felt comfortable with her right away. Her home is beautiful, welcoming, and clearly set up with dogs in mind. Her dog Winston is incredibly sweet and friendly, and was great with my little guy from the moment they met. It’s obvious she genuinely loves dogs and has lots of experience with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my pup with her again and will definitely be using her services in the future.”
“Tamara is quick to respond, friendly, sent photos of my pup and gave me some time to surprise my husband with a helicopter ride on our honeymoon trip without having to worry about Marshall.”
About: I have loved animals my entire life. I have taken care of many different types of animals since I was very young. Horses, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits and birds. I have raised and trained two Working Line German Shepherds from puppies, with whom I have trained and competed with in high level obedience. I understand what it takes to have well trained, happy and genetically fulfilled dogs. I am actively going to training seminars and constantly expanding my knowledge. I have worked part time as a dog trainer teaching pet obedience classes. I have also taken online dog training courses, emergency dog first aid and raw fed nutrition courses. My day starts by making sure my dogs needs are met. They are fed, walked, stretched and trained daily. They are groomed multiples times throughout the week and participate in fun activities like tracking, obedience, dock diving and swimming weekly. When your dog boards with me, on our farm, they will be treated with the outmost love, care and respect. I would treat your best friend as I treat my own dogs. They will have access to 5 acres to explore and rest in a peaceful, relaxing environment.
About: Hello, my name is Teresa and I'm dog walker who is Walks and Wags Certified with Pet First Aid. I've also taken International Academy of Canine Trainers Certified Professional Dog Walker program. I'm an animal lover and have had pets all of my life. I especially love dogs of all shapes and sizes and am looking forward to taking care of your dog either as a dog walker or just for home visits to play and make sure that he/she is fine while you are at work. I'm happy to visit both young puppers and more senior doggos - as we all know your dog is the 'best dog ever' and I'm happy to treat your dog like my own! Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I work remotely so am happy to have your dog as company to my own two fur babies! My yard is fenced so there is no fear for them to run in our backyard. I allow pets on furniture but do make sure that their paws are clean and that they do not rough house in the house. As I am working at home I can monitor them as well.
“Gina is wonderful. I'm a nervous parent. Always wondering what my little baby's doing when I'm not around, but with Gina, that insecurity just flies away. She's takes great care of Zoro and keeps me updated throughout the day.”
“Our 1.5 year old beagle enjoyed his stay with Suzanne. The photos and videos were greatly appreciated and eased our anxiety over leaving him in an unfamiliar home. Professional, friendly, and attentive.”
About: I have a lifetime of experience working with all sorts of dogs, including puppies, elderly dogs and dogs requiring special care and/or medications. I am also experienced in dog training and grooming. I’m currently a student meaning I spend most of my time at home. Doing online classes can make it difficult to have typical a 9-5 job, being one of the reasons I started dog walking and sitting. As well as it being a passion I’ve had since a very early age. I have a home with a fenced in open space for your fur-babies. As well as many hiking trails located nearby for your pups to explore! Potty breaks every two hours as well as 2-4 walks a day.
“Tessa looked after Wes for a few days while I was in town working and Wes just loved his time with her! She's an awesome person and I would highly recommend her! Will definitely reach out next time im in town! Thanks Tessa!”
“We couldn’t have been happier with the care Hannah received. It was obvious from the moment we met them that they genuinely love dogs, and Hannah felt comfortable and at ease right away. They kept us updated throughout her stay with photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Their kindness and caring nature really shone through in every interaction. Their home was also spotless, clean, and very welcoming. We felt completely confident that Hannah was in excellent hands. We would not hesitate to leave her with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter.”
About: We had a beautiful Golden Retriever 2013-2025 who went everywhere with me and was never left alone. I loved being with him, caring for him and other friends pets, walking, brushing, veterinary drop offs and collections as well as caring for elderly dogs too. I love all dogs. Will be with the dogs all day in my home and we have beautiful trails right at our doorstep for quick walks or longer hikes. Happy to be slower if dogs are older or small or longer if they have lots of energy. I work from home so pets would never be left alone, I have set up my work to fit in with caring for our own pet as a priority. Have looked after our own dog and walked 4-5 times daily with shorter potty breaks and longer excercise trips for 12 years. I have no fenced yard but have a provincial park and walking trails directly at my door so walking is never a problem. My own golden retriever will go outside for a variety of mini walks and a longer walk daily or we can take the car to other parks if requested.
About: I have owned at least one dog for 20 years and have fostered dogs for the last 15 years. We excel at chilling and enjoying the outdoors (walking/hiking). I am open to pup sitting 7 days a week, at your house or mine. I will take great care of your pet like it is my own! As a recent retiree, I have flexible time to take care of your pup(s). I am available 7 days a week and will care for your dog like it is my own...and mine are pretty spoiled. Although I do not have a yard, I enjoy walking my dogs and playing with them inside and out. My 2 dogs are easy going and will keep your pup company. My house is really a big dog house. They are allowed to snuggle on a dog bed or on the couch.
“Emma and her partner took real good care of Allie! Allie had a great time playing with Tilley. Their place is also very tidy and clean. I appreciate Emma being able to accommodate me last minute as I needed to go for a medical appointment and my original sitter fell through. Thanks Emma! Would love to book with you again!”
“Brandyn and his girlfriend Suki looked after my dog when I was passing through Kelowna for a medical appointment. It was 38° and I could never have left him in the car even in a parkade. It was such a relief knowing he was in airconditioning! He seemed quite relaxed with them which was surprising since he is an anxious dog, so clearly they have great dog vibes. I would feel very comfortable leaving Juno with them again another time.”

Breanna was amazing! Sent lots of pictures of my little guy Winston, he had the best time! Her doggo Pen was so good with little Winston & we will definitely look to her for a pet sitter when we need one! It was our first time getting a sitter and Breanna made any nervousness go away with her updates! ☺️

There are 130 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Vernon. About 86% of Vernon 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.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Vernon commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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 dog, 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in BC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. 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 sitter.
