“Alexandra was awesome! She was on time, took detailed notes about our dogs quirks, and took great care of them! The regular updates gave us confidence and we'd definitely hire her again!”
“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.”
“Brooke was a fantastic cat and house sitter! Lots of communication about George and she took care of the house as if it were her own. My cat is older with some odd habits and she was happy to accommodate his needs. I would not hesitate to recommend Brooke!”
“Alara was great with house sitting and caring for my two senior cats, one of whom needs twice daily insulin injections. I came home to two very chill kitties, and a home that was kept very clean and in order. I really appreciated it and I would have no hesitation in booking Alara for the next time we go away and want to feel at ease with leaving our pets.”
“Tamara was great! I got lots of updates during my trip about my house and my dog. Abloh had a great time going for runs beside her bicycle, camping, and swimming. She really treated him like her own! I would highly recommend to anyone needing a sitter in the future.”
“Kirstin was super easy to deal with especially on such short notice. She kept us fully updated on Kai and sent lots of photos. Kai was clearly very comfortable with her and she left the condo in perfect condition. We will definitely be using her services again and would recommend her to everyone!”
“Lindsey was absolutely fantastic. I felt so at ease leaving Buddy (my 8 year old cocker spaniel) with her. She was super organised and her communication was excellent. She sent updates and pictures at the end of everyday and put Buddy’s needs first. Our home was super clean and tidy when we arrived home. I would 100% have Lindsey to sit Buddy in the future and would not hesitate to recommend her to take care of your pets and home.”
“Morgan went above and beyond our expectations. She is a genuine animal lover and it is so evident. We have two demanding male cats and a senior female cat who has special needs. We came home to happy and well fed kitties - not to mention a very clean house. Morgan stayed in contact with us while we were away with lots of photos. Any concerns we had were non-existent as we realized what a responsible and caring person Morgan is. Would not hesitate to recommend her and we will definitely ask her again to pet sit.”
“Monica is beyond a 5 star. She is reliable and professional whilst having the most caring and loving demeanor with my golden retriever. She did everything we asked and much more. She kept track of my flight so when she saw it was delayed she stayed longer to make sure our golden was fed and had a bathroom break. Just a wonderful person all around.”
“Christina was so wonderful with both our dogs and we would highly recommend her. She spent 9 days with them and they were so happy and calm and very well loved. She took incredible care of our home and went above and beyond. The pictures she sent us showed how much fun she was having with the dogs and how happy they were in her care. She very capable, mature and responsible.”

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.
“I can’t say enough good things about Sarah’s calm, kind nature and how wonderful she was with our beloved pet cat Hannie. Hannie bonded with Sarah straight away and we felt very comfortable leaving Hannie with her. Not only was Sarah a wonderful pet sitter, she did odd jobs around the house as well. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone as a house/pet splitter in their home.”
About: Hello! I am a zoology (animal biology) graduate from Laurentian University who has an extreme passion for the care and health of wild and domesticated animals. I’ve had/cared for multiple types of house pets including cats/kittens, dogs/puppies, snakes, lizards, turtles/tortoises, birds, and fish ever since I was 10-12. I have experience administering medications to cats and dogs under my care, ensuring they have enough exercise, and giving them love and care every animal deserves. For those looking for cat care, I have multitudes of experience with cats as I have adopted and raised my own cat (Arlo) since a kitten and have helped/advised family and friends on the care for theirs. I’ve done cat sitting since I’ve been really young with senior/kittens and volunteered at a cat rehab centre during university giving me experience with slowly socializing feral and temperamental cats. Those looking for dog care, I’ve had dogs all my life, mostly medium to large dogs like my families St.Bernard/Lab/Mastiff and our passed Labrador but I also have experience looking after smaller dogs. I’ve cared for puppies to middle age to senior dogs and have also had experience with dogs with medical issues (ex. Dogs who have experienced seizures or strokes). Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. As a recent graduate with a flexible schedule, I now have even more time and energy to dedicate to caring for pets. I love spending time outdoors and being active, so daily walks and playtime with pets easily fit into my routine. I also enjoy creating a calm and safe environment for animals at home, whether it’s feeding, grooming, or just giving them the attention they need. When pet sitting in a clients home, I make sure to follow the pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care like administering medication or sticking to training habits. I keep the home clean, ensure your privacy as a client, and treat the home with the same respect I would my own. For dog walking, I focus on safety by making sure leashes and harnesses are secure, avoiding unsafe or overly crowded areas, and keeping a close eye on the dog’s behaviour and energy level. I also believe communication is key, so I can also provide updates to let you know how your pets are doing.
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.
“Nadia was wonderful with Molson. She gave us daily updates and included pictures. She also went above and beyond and made sure that our home was spotless when we returned. This was a bonus that I wasn't expecting but was much appreciated given that we arrived home late in the evening after a long day of travel. We would highly recommend Nadia. Thank you! Thank you!”
About: Hi, I’m Holly! I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life, and my love for them runs deep. Over the years, I’ve studied and learned about animal behaviors, which has shaped my compassionate and sensitive approach to their care. A special rescue dog taught me so much about understanding animals, reinforcing my belief in the power of positive reinforcement—because it truly works. With hands-on experience from working in a doggy daycare, I’ve interacted with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, making me well-equipped to provide individualized care. As an ultra runner, I have the stamina and energy to take your pets on frequent long walks or runs, customized to their specific needs. Whether your pet enjoys a relaxed stroll or an energetic run, I’ll ensure they get the perfect balance of exercise, along with plenty of attention and affection. I’m committed to treating your pets like family, respecting your preferences, and providing regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m here to give them the love and care they deserve. I currently work remotely and have lots of flexibility to care for your pet, including taking them for frequent walks and runs. I’m also available on weekends and holidays. I have experience working with animals and provide compassionate, attentive care. I prioritize your pet’s well-being and take a positive, personalized approach to meet their individual needs. Your dog will receive plenty of love, attention, and exercise to ensure they feel happy and secure.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vernon
This was my first time using Rover and Tamara was awesome! She kept me updated, sent pictures, and took great care of Miller. Millsy can be reactive and Tamara was great about it. She has a calm presence and is just lovely. Will absolutely use her again in the future.
Brooke was amazing right from the beginning. She walked me through the process as this was our first time with Rover and my dog loved her the moment she met her. She sent updates regularly that included photos which we absolutely loved. I’ve already booked her for a second stay and would highly recommend her to anyone!
Alara was amazing with our dog Sammy! Sammy is a very anxious dog and Alara has a very calming demeanour and Sammy reacted very positively to her. She took him for walks every day and sent us many pictures. We were gone 10 days and I was concerned as we had never left him with someone he doesn’t know. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Alara stay with Sammy again!! 5 ⭐️ for sure!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Vernon on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Vernon maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Vernon walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
