“Brooke was great! She took great care of our cat - Pippin. We were away for the week and she came and did house visits while we were away. We received many photos of Pippin while we were away, it was great to have piece of mind. Highly recommended!”
“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!”

“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: Elizabeth - Having cared for various neighborhood dogs since childhood, I bring a wealth of experience to my dog-sitting services. My beloved chocolate lab lived a long and joyful life, which has given me valuable insight into the unique needs of senior dogs. Joao - Growing up in Portugal, I've had a lot of pets in my lifetime including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, chinchillas, hedgehogs and fish. I especially love dogs. I trained my current dog to sit and lie down using hand signals without any professional help. Recently, we've expanded our services to include dog-sitting in the comfort of our neighbors’ homes. Your furry friends will receive love, companionship, and professional care while you’re away. We are completely smoke-free and will keep your home just how you left it. We look forward to providing a safe and happy environment for your pets :) Elizabeth - As I work online, I’m always present and attentive to the dogs/cats in my care. Joao - Currently I'm not working, as I've just arrived in Canada from Portugal with a Working Holiday visa. I'm around to fit into the pet's usual schedule. We can administer medication and tailor our services to meet the specific needs of each dog/cat. We maintain the pet's usual routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, and playtime. We love to spend quality time with our new furry friends and provide regular updates to the owner through texts or photos, keeping them informed about how their pet is doing.
“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: The dog skill of staying aware of my surroundings has taught me everything I need to know to continue living a stress free life with my dog. All dogs are different and I can show them a comfortable attitude while providing some healthy exercise. My schedule is open to fit your needs at the moment and I can commute near my home quickly in a car for emergencies. Since we live in a tough environment I will come prepared for the weather appropriately. I usually take my dog out 3 to 4 times per day which includes picking up poop and learning of basic tricks. She is 5 but strong as labradors are because of their size.
About: Caring for animals has been a meaningful part of my life for many years, and I approach pet sitting with the same attentiveness and responsibility I would want for my own pets. I was a devoted dog owner for 14 years to my beloved beagle, caring for her through every stage of life — from daily exercise and enrichment to senior care and comfort. That experience shaped my understanding of how important patience, consistency, and emotional awareness are when looking after animals. I’m experienced with small dogs and cats and comfortable managing feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and providing companionship so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or more relaxed and independent. My goal is always to create a calm, safe environment where pets can stick to their routines and feel at ease. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative, and I treat every home with respect and care. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. My schedule is generally quiet and structured, with most of my work done on my laptop, so pets aren’t left alone for long periods. I’m typically home the majority of the day, with only occasional short outings for errands, groceries, or appointments. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to maintain consistent feeding times, regular walks, play sessions, and check-ins, while also keeping an eye on pets who may need a bit more attention or companionship. My work is flexible, so I can easily adapt my routine to fit a pet’s needs, whether that means extra outdoor time, medication schedules, or simply providing a calm presence for animals who prefer company. This setup works especially well for pets who are used to having someone around, experience separation anxiety, or just enjoy a steady, relaxed environment. Although I don’t offer boarding, I maintain a calm, organized, and safety-conscious home environment that reflects the level of care I bring to every pet sitting job. I keep my space clean, clutter-free, and pet-aware, meaning there are no accessible hazards like exposed wires, toxic plants, or unsafe foods within reach. I’m very mindful of safety routines such as securing doors and gates, monitoring pets closely, and maintaining a peaceful atmosphere without excessive noise or disruptions. My approach is preventative — I pay attention to details and potential risks so pets can feel relaxed and secure at all times. Because I work from home, I’m present and attentive throughout the day, which allows me to respond quickly if a pet needs anything. Whether I’m caring for pets in their own home or simply checking in, I bring the same level of responsibility, awareness, and respect for their comfort and safety.
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: 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.
“Nicole did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my cats! I got lots of updates through the Rover app, which really put my mind at ease. She's super organized and flexible, and I'll definitely be booking her again in the future :)”

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 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: I love pets!! I have owned hamsters, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. I must admit though, dogs are my favourite. Currently, I own a 130 lbs Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd so I have a lot of experience training a stubborn strong dog. My trainer (whose specialty is rehabilitating dogs rescued from fighting rings) taught me how best to support my lovable active giant. I also have experience helping my dog with pain. He has bad knees and requires many supplements and massages. I also teach grade 1/2 in the Richmond School District, so I am very patient and professional. In addition, I'm fully vaccinated for Covid 19. I am available for dog walks in the evenings on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I am available for pet sitting on weekends all night and day. I could also do pet sitting during the week if the animal can be left for 9 hours while I'm at work. I have my own car, large enough to fit my giant dog so there's lots of room to transport your pet if required. Since my dog is so big and only requires short walks, my partner would care for him, while I care for your pet. Your pet would have my undivided attention.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Vernon is $25

There are 386 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Vernon. About 83% 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.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Vernon stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.
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.
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.
