I’m ready to provide your dog with exceptional care and endless pets!!! I’m a young athlete, so I am ready to give your dog the exersizes they deserve with daily walks and play time! I’m available daily, mornings and afternoons! I will always find time for those important fur babies in your life, for walks, feeding, potty breaks, and more! Your dogs safety and happiness is my number one priority! They will always be supervised when outside and leashed on walks, unless told otherwise! My personal opinion is that dogs should be outside and enriching their lives, that is always a big goal of mine! I’ve worked lots with children and animals so I have lots of experience!

About: I’ve owned an animal ever since I can remember. From 220lbs dogs to 2lb rats I’m confident with all breeds and sizes. I’ve have multiple cats and dogs along with training puppies. I currently own a 6 lb red footed tortoise giving me knowledge to help care for reptiles and small animals. I currently work part time in Vernon but have multiple breaks throughout the day to pop home and care for your pet. I am looking to provide people with care and relief knowing there pet is safe while they are out adventuring Each animal is different, some want space while others don’t know what space is. Knowing that helps provide pets with the comfort in their own home having new people there. I am quiet and calm and work my hardest to provide everything to my animals.
“Tamara was amazing! She was sending pictures of my dogs every day without me asking for them which I really appreciated. She’s the sweetest. Her and her partner left the house clean and tidy. I would have them again at home anytime!”
About: Hi there! 🐶 If your pet deserves plenty of love, attention, playtime, and a few extra belly rubs, you’ve come to the right place! I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved; whether that means long walks, outdoor adventures, playing with their favourite toys, or simply curling up for some company and cuddles. Over the years, I have been a proud pet parent to many, including cats, a black lab, corgi, toy chihuahua, yorkie, an american bulldog/english pointer foster fail and a doberman! So I understand that every dog has their own personality, quirks, energy levels, and routines. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your four-legged family member, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, respect their individual needs, and make sure they get plenty of affection, enrichment, and attention while you’re away. And of course, you can expect updates and photos so you never have to wonder what your furry bestie is up to! Whether your pet is an energetic adventurer, a professional napper, or a little bit of both, I’d love to meet them. ❤️ Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and safety will always be my priority. I am home and available 24/7 to be with your pet! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I love building time into my routine for walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, exercise, and rest schedules to help them feel comfortable and settled. My home is a calm, cozy space where pets can feel right at home! 🐾 I have two fenced outdoor spaces for them to explore, and there are nearby parks and trails for fresh air, walks, and exploring. When it’s time to wind down, there’s a big comfy couch, beside a warm fireplace and a king-sized bed for the ultimate cozy snooze. There are also crates, dog beds and blankies available for your pet to feel safe, relaxed, and spoiled with love while they’re here. Basically, a little home away from home with all the comforts and cuddles. ❤️
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.
“Kirstin has cared for our household of pets a few times now and has been great. The animals are all well cared for and spoiled and she respects our home. We trust her wholeheartedly with our pets and home!”
About: I've been caring for animals for the last 8 years & in Nov 2020 started my business PawLooza Pet & House Sitting. Since then I've hired on 3 others to my team to sub out to different clients if needed or requested. Some of the gals on the team work full time and are unable to sit dogs that require us to be in the home for shorter hours. Please specify how many hrs the dog(s) can be left alone for. We have some experience with administering medications. We do some tidying around the home, care for all animals as directed by clients and any extra maintenance the home may require. After a booking is made, we request 2 meet & greets. 1 at the time of the booking & the other 1 week before the departure date of the client. 2 team members will be present for the meet and greets in the event someone has an emergency, the other can step in to ensure the animal is still cared for. EXTRA FEES ** We primarily do dog sitting in Vernon & Coldstream. If a sit is more than 10km outside of downtown Vernon there is an upcharge fee of $10/per day, please keep this in mind when booking ** We do offer sitting over holidays, dates may be subject to extra charge Rates per day $45 X1 Dog $75 X2 Dogs $105 X3 Dogs $15 per every extra animal in the home $10/DAY Upcharge for distance $10/DAY Upcharge for long weekends & Holidays Myself & the girls on my team all work full time. Although were young and are busy we always make sure to set a routine with the animals & care for them as best we can. *** Please be advised that we will only accept animals that are okay to be left for 8 hrs at a time*** At this time we're only offering boarding services in the clients home. With every job we take on, we prep a list of questions for all clients about the home & animals for security, safety and trust purposes
“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!”
“Georgia took such great care of our 3 dogs, it was so nice to go away for a weekend knowing our fur babies were in good hands! In meeting her for the first time, I knew she was someone I could trust! Thanks Georgia :)”
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 am a stay at home mom, with two small dogs of my own. My dogs love to play and are very social with all dogs big or small. We have a large fully fenced yard, and love to take walks in our neighborhood. My children and I will make sure your dog is well cared for and made to feel part of our family. I have a lot of experience with dogs and have been breeding them as well. I have a lot of experience with puppies as I have had a few liters with my dogs. I have been dog boarding for the last thirteen years and when I moved in the last year, I started with Rover. I currently only do dog boarding, so I can be at home with your dog the entire time they are staying with me. I have two adult children that live with me as well, so your dog will get lots of walks and play time. I have a fully fenced back yard for your dogs to play, as well as a huge covered deck. The dogs are allowed on my bed and furniture, the same as my dogs.
About: I have 8 years of pet sitting experience with many different animals. I have grown up around many different animals my whole life and have a pup of my own. I will also frequently take care of family and friends dogs and cats. I will do my absolute best to make sure your dogs get the attention, exercise and needs they require! I look forward to meeting and caring for your pups! :) I am at home full time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and attend to their daily needs! I am a student so I attend various classes but they are all done online and from the comfort of my own home. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and have made sure my house is a very pet friendly environment provided with lots of entertainment, water and food bowls around the house. There are many dedicated spaces if the pups (or cats) need some space or if they just want to relax in private. There are no spots that are off limits for the pups so they have lots of room to play and explore! :) our place has a chill and relaxed vibe to it so your dogs can be comfortable and feel like it’s a safe home away from home.
About: I have several years of hands on experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, including puppies, high-energy breeds, and senior animals with special needs. What sets me apart is my patient and intuitive approach I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and routine to make them feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’ve helped with leash training, basic obedience, and administering medications to older pets. Whether it’s energetic playtime, gentle walks, or quiet companionship, I adapt my care to suit your pet’s needs. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for your pets. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or quality playtime, I’ll make sure your pup gets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced yard. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, supervised environment where pets feel safe, and loved.
About: I have 10 yrs of experience as a pet sitter in BC and abroad. I have just returned to Kelowna after a 3 yr hiatus where I traveled to 11 countries where I pet sat in 8 of them. I have great reviews and a 5 star rating from completed sits in those countries. And I have open availability starting in June of 2026. I am retired so my schedule for pet care is open and flexible. I can dedicate my services part time to full time depending on the individual needs of the pet parent's. I have always cared for people's pets in their own home. I enjoy traveling to new surroundings and take great pride in my 5 star reviews. I leave pet owners home clean and tidy and I update pet owners on any developments that should occur and reassure them that their pets are being well cared for. I use WhatsApp, email, or text to communicate with pet owners.
“I was so reluctant to use Rover but then I found Shelly! Now I’m reluctant to leave this review because I don’t want her to get too busy and not be available but she deserves a glowing reference from me. Shelly, is absolutely the best and I feel so blessed to have found her…she is experienced with all their meds, loving and reliable. I highly recommend her as a caregiver. A+++ (and I don’t leave this review lightly….I am very particular when it comes to my babies )”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vernon
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!!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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, a background 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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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.
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
- 95% 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.
