About: I spent 4 years working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of every breed, size, and temperament. I managed playgroups and kept schedules on track. I was also a dog owner for 12 wonderful years, so I know what it takes to keep a dog healthy and loved. My family has now been fostering dogs for about a year now, which has taught me how to help shy or anxious dogs adjust to a new home. Between the daycare, my own dog, and fostering, I've built years of real experience. I'd love to give your dog the same care and attention I gave my own! I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays throughout the week, and I can adjust timing to match your dog's usual schedule. I follow your routine exactly, keep things tidy, stick to feeding and walk schedules, and always watch doors and gates to keep your dog safe. I'll send updates so you know how things are going!
“I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for taking such wonderful care of my cats while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such attentive and caring hands. The daily photos and updates truly meant a lot to me—they helped me relax and feel connected even from a distance. I could tell they were comfortable and well looked after, which says everything. I really appreciate the time and care you put into each visit, and I’m so grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind. Thank you again—I would absolutely love to have you care for them in the future. Warmly, Amanda Aaron Carmela & Katsumi 😺”

“Morgayne was amazing with my two cats! She was caring, attentive and took the time to hang out with them and give them both some love while I was away 🥰 she was available very last minute and she also sent me many photo updates of my girls which I really enjoyed! I would not hesitate to recommend Morgayne as a sitter for your fur babies! I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
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.
“Brooke was great. She was able to book on short notice, and make adjustments as needed. Great attention to detail, as well as going beyond the scope of my cats needs. My cat was happy to have her company. Would definitely use her service again in the future.”

“Chloé went ABOVE and beyond to accommodate us and make sure our fur babies were well taken care of. My husband had a medical emergency while away which delayed our trip, and Chloe stepped up and made sure our cats were OK. It was so comforting getting pictures and videos daily and she responded very quickly if we have a question or reached out to her. 100% would use her again and have raved about her to friends and family already. Your pets are in the best hands with Chloe!!!”

About: I have been a dog and cat owner for 25+ years. I currently have two cats of my own and understand the importance on checking in on them when you are away! I can provide cuddles, playing, litter-box changes etc. to make them feel comfortable. I have an active lifestyle and can keep your dog entertained and healthy throughout walks, runs, cuddling, and brushing. I have most experience with larger dogs (golden retrievers and huskies for example), but also am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I understand the importance of building a relationship of trust with dogs and how to make sure they feel loved as well. I look forward to making some new furry friends! I work part-time and am mostly available in the evenings + weekends. Please message me for more details. My schedule posted is up to date. I am currently not offering pet sitting in my own home. I care for pets by frequent bathroom breaks, brushing, playing and cuddling of course.
About: I grew up with dogs around me, and have a passion for them. I would love to care for your dog and give them a fun, exciting day. I have a soft spot for pets and love to care for them in any way possible! I use bus to transport in and around Vernon. I have my Pet First Aid (June 2026) I have a free schedule and am able to be flexible around yours and your pets needs! I enjoy being outside during the day, and mornings and afternoons are perfect for me! I have high standards for safety when it comes to your pet. I am efficient and always on time! I work best with small dogs, and am eager to meet your pet!
“Leah did an amazing job of helping watch both our senior medical needs dog and our brand new puppy while we were at work and they were learning to adjust to each other. She eased our minds while we were at work knowing our boys were in good hands and it helped our puppy become potty trained so much faster. If he did have accidents in his enclosure before she arrived that day, Leah was so nice; she cleaned the mess up for us. I would highly recommend Leah to anyone in need with any age dog.”

About: Hi! I’m your dog’s next best friend. Ever since I was little, I’ve had a big love for dogs—blame it on growing up with a tiny teacup poodle who ruled the house. These days, I have my own golden retriever, Penny, who’s basically sunshine wrapped in fur. We hike, we walk, we sniff interesting things (well, she does), and we’re always up for more adventure buddies. Whether your pup is a zoomie champion or a slow-stroll sniffer, I’d love to be their midday walking pal or morning hiking sidekick. I’m punctual, reliable, and will 100% treat your dog like my own. Let’s be honest—your dog deserves some fresh air, leg stretches, and a walking buddy who’s in it for the tail wags and muddy paws. I am an EA for our local school district and available after 3pm for dog walks or drop in visits. If you do not see a time, or day available please reach out and I will see what I can do! I understand how important exercise, routine and love are for healthy and happy pets. I tailor every walk to fit their unique personality and needs.
About: Hey there, my name is Monica and I would be delighted to be apart of your pup’s life. I am a dog lover through and through, and have always been a lover of all animals. For as long as I can remember, furry friends have been a part of my family. Starting with two golden retrievers, then Labrador retrievers, my family was always a dog household. Dog walks, plays and feeding have been part of my life, well, forever! I now have a lab mix of my own and she is my world. She is well trained and we get out for lots of walkies. Some say I spoil her, but I don’t believe you can show a dog too much love. As a dog owner myself, I understand the worry that comes with leaving your furry friend at home while life needs you elsewhere. You can count on me to pop by for a visit, a walk, a feed, or a cuddle/play. Look forward to working with you :) I currently work full time, Tuesday through Friday, 7am - 5pm. I am widely available on the weekends and Mondays, alongside week-day evenings. Long walks on the weekends are already part of my schedule and I love doing so with a furry companion. I love a schedule or directions to follow, and I am happy to tend to whatever your dog’s needs are. Crate training, using specific commands for consistency, etc. I never want to overstep, and any visit will reflect care, concern and respect within your home.
About: I’ve been on Rover for 4+ years and have become familiar with more dog breeds than I knew existed! I love getting to know each pup I watch and creating a bond with them:) I like to say its research for what breed will fit my life best in the future. I will love your dog as if it was my own💗 I have just started a 2 year massage program in Vernon. I am not working currently as I am focussing my time studying and school so Rover is perfect for me to help keep myself afloat while in school. I am home evenings and weekends. Hope we can make something work:) I have a safe indoor space with hardwood floors and no other pets to take my attention away from your sweet pup. Happy to work at your or my home
About: 🐾 What Sets Me Apart 🐾 I have had pets my whole life. Since I was a young child. We always had dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters and fish. I loved taking care of them but since getting older I have not had a chance to have my own as I generally am in rentals that don't allow pets so I love to look after others when they are away. I treat every pet like my own, catering to their unique needs, routines and quirks. I am experienced & trustworthy – I have years of experience with dogs & cats of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. Clients often call me the pet whisperer as their pet comes to me willingly when they might not with others because of my calm, gentle and grounded personality. As a trauma recovery coach specializing in nervous system regulation, I create a soothing and safe environment for pets, especially anxious or rescue animals. I take your dogs on engaging walks, engage in interactive play with your pets and give mindful attention to their well-being, not just basic care. I am flexible & reliable – I work around your schedule to ensure stress-free pet care. I work from home as I am a Trauma Recovery Coach so I see my clients online. I generally help clients regulate their nervous system or give them mindfulness practices. So I am often doing meditations with them or calming sessions with them. I take breaks in between clients and go for walks so can be sure to give your pet the extra attention it needs. I generally go to your home to take care of your pet. I do have a yard with a fence right now though which is helpful.
About: I’ve grown up with animals in every shape and size, from dogs and cats to horses and alpacas. Regarding experience, I frequently house-sit friends and family members pets, including large breed dogs and cats. I have a senior dog of my own and thus have experience giving medications and adapting daily walks. On a personal level in my final year of studies at UBCO, and I am an avid hiker and shameless reader. I’m happy to hang out with your pup with a good cup of tea, or you have a high energy dog who needs a hike once a week, I’m your girl. I currently attend classes in Kelowna Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Friday afternoons I and am happy to drop in outside of lecture hours. I am available weekends, especially for longer walks as I love a good hike! I do not bring pets to my home and I do not bring my pets on walks, or to other people’s houses. Not because I wouldn’t love to, but simply because it stresses my old dog out too much. But, that just means more attention is given to the pet I’m visiting and/or walking! I’m happy to follow a routine, and care for the animals i’m checking in on I’ll request to be outlined beforehand so I can keep up with your expectations and keep everyone safe.

About: My name is Sarah, I am passionate about looking after fur-babies & nothing makes me happier than seeing our pets be their happiest fluffiest selves. I have a cat and dog of my own and understand the importance of regular pee breaks, long walks & lots of attention. I also am in tune when understanding when they are trying to let you know they need something. I promise to keep you updated and give your fur baby all the love they need! I also have lots of treats for all allergies/needs & grooming tools if needed as well. I would be more than happy to provide references for myself and my husband if required for home stays to ensure you feel comfortable. Summary: I am a fun loving aussie, with a kind & friendly personality and work in the finance industry so I have criminal back ground checks as well.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have plenty of experience caring for them. I currently have a Mastiff-cross puppy who I love taking for morning walks and letting her have fun with all her dog friends! I also had a sweet Basset Hound who I raised from a puppy through his senior years. He was such a loving boy with a little bit of a stubborn streak! 🐾 I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they have a fun, happy time. I’m looking to fill my weekdays with some extra furry friends! I’m available during the day while my kiddos are at school, which gives me plenty of time for walks and visits. I love getting outside and would be happy to spend that time giving your pup some one-on-one attention, fresh air, and a fun break in their day. I’m flexible with timing and would love to find a schedule that works well for you and your pup. I’m a big believer that dogs are part of the family, so I want them to feel happy, safe and comfortable while they’re with me. I’ll follow whatever routine works best for your pup and make sure they get lots of attention, love and a good walk. I’ll always be mindful of their surroundings and keep them safe, and I’ll treat your home with the same care I would my own.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Vernon on Rover is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 per visit. 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.

There are 404 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Vernon. About 85% 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.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
