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.
“Tamara took great care of Cactus!! They went on a hike and I got lots of great pics. She was a great and friendly communicator who responded quickly. I would definitely send Cactus back to spend another day with Tamara!”
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.

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.

“Anothai and Mersad are the loveliest couple! They took such wonderful care of Luna. They are responsive and sent us lovely pictures and videos throughout the day. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve always had a passion for animals, especially dogs! I started my pet service business at 10 years old and have kept caring for pets since then. I love all animals and have pet sat in both my own home, as well as other peoples homes. I've watched and cared for various clients dogs, cats, rabbits, and houses while they have been away while also providing regular dog walking for many many years! I am passionate about animals and will make sure your furry friend and you are both satisfied! I work at Lululemon which gives me the ability to be flexible in terms of walks and such. If booked well in advance, I am normally able to get time off work or request shorter shifts during the house sit - I will ensure your pups are walked before and after whatever may be in my schedule!! I'll be providing overnight care at your house and would love a run down on any house rules or specifics about your home. I've always enjoyed pet sitting at the animals home more as they usually feel more familiar being at home! I am athletic and would love to go on walks, runs, dog parks, or small hikes with your furry friend, whichever they love the most!! I usually ask for a print out or a quick text of the food and any specific care instructions needed so I do not forget any little things.
“Westerly spent a few days with Tania & her hubby and he loved it! They are great people with a lovely home and I could relax knowing Wes was looked after during the days while I was at work. He was always happy to go back when I dropped him off the next day. Will definitely be booking in future when I'm back in town for work!”
“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!”
“Emilie was amazing. I required a safe, cool place to leave Ranger for an hour everyday for the week, and Emilie's condo was absolutely perfect for that! The fact that she worked from home and was able to be flexible with pickup and drop-off times was amazing and even allowed me to get a few dog free longer bike rides in while I was visiting Kelowna. Ranger seemed completely comfortable with both Emilie and her pup Jacki, though I'm sure her Jacki was unimpressed with my tired dog that just wanted to sleep in the A/C for a few hours! Everything went perfectly smooth and I would definitely use Emilie again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Vernon is $50 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 per day. 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 135 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Vernon. About 90% 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.
Help your dog become familiar with the day-care environment before their first full day. Arrange a Meet & Greet so they can visit the sitter’s home, meet the sitter and any resident pets, and explore the space while you are there. This can make the environment feel more familiar and help you and the sitter confirm that the setup is right for your dog.
Pack anything you and the sitter have agreed your dog will need, such as:
- Their usual food and approved treats, with feeding instructions
- Medication, with clear dosage instructions, if needed
- Their collar or harness and other walking equipment
- Familiar comfort items, such as a blanket or favourite toy
- Any seasonal gear they may need
On the day of the booking, keep your dog’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including their usual meal, toilet break, and some light exercise. Keep drop-off calm and brief, which may help make the transition easier.
If your dog is shy, nervous, or needs more time to adjust to unfamiliar places, ask whether a shorter introductory stay is possible before their first full day.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. Every sitter on Rover has their own routine and some may offer flexible activities suited for your dog. 96% of sitters in your city can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays.
These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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 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.
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. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
