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 can’t say enough wonderful things about Julie and Chris! I was heading to Kelowna for a friend’s wedding and just a couple of days before the trip, my original dog sitter from Rover unexpectedly canceled. To say I was stressed would be an understatement. Finding someone to care for a St. Bernard isn’t always easy, especially on short notice. These 2 were so kind and opened their home to Frankie for an over night sleepover - so I could just be present and enjoy my friend's special day. From the moment I met them, I felt completely comfortable leaving my big girl in their care. They are clearly animal lovers and it seemed like Frankie could sense that, she settled right in and made herself at home. Honestly, as stressful as the last-minute cancellation was, I truly think we ended up with an even better fit and a best case scenario. A HUGE THANK YOU to Julie and Chris! Words can’t express how grateful I am that you stepped in when I needed help and took such amazing care of my furry friend. I would absolutely trust them with Frankie again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitters. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You two are the best! 🐾❤️”

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

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.

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 .
