About: I have a deep love for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. What sets me apart is my ability to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs—whether it’s providing gentle care for older animals, reinforcing training with consistency and patience, or ensuring high-energy pets get the exercise and stimulation they need. I’m also highly responsible and detail-oriented, making sure feeding schedules, medications, and routines are followed exactly as needed. Beyond basic care, I genuinely enjoy bonding with animals, offering plenty of attention, affection, and playtime to keep them happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving a pet in someone else’s care, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners reassured. Whether it’s a quiet cuddle session, a structured walk, or keeping up with training cues, I tailor my care to what each pet needs most. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine as I prioritize reliability and consistency. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate various needs, from morning feedings to evening cuddles. I prioritize creating a safe, stress-free environment for every pet. I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain clean and pet-friendly spaces, and ensure routines are consistent to provide comfort and stability. Trust is key—I communicate regularly with owners, respect their home, and always prioritize a pet’s well-being and security.

About: I have years of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Great Danes. I’ve raised kittens from birth, cared for reptiles, and looked after farm animals like rabbits and chickens. What truly sets me apart is my ability to understand each animal’s unique needs and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their environment. Whether it’s a high-energy pup, a shy senior dog, or a curious kitten, I tailor my care to keep them happy and healthy. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I have two dogs of my own and love spending time with animals. I work five days a week, but my shifts are typically 5–6 hours, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I’m available for morning or evening visits depending on my schedule, and I can always stop by before and after work. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do—it’s part of my everyday routine, and I truly enjoy it! My top priority is making sure your pet feels happy, safe, and comfortable—whether they’re in my home or I’m visiting yours. I understand that every animal has their own unique needs and routines. Whether your dog needs a long, energetic walk or just a quick 5-minute potty break, I always follow their lead and adjust my care to what works best for them. I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure they feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I have looked after family and friends dogs. One particular friend has a dog who is very physically impaired and very nippy with people. Many neighbours complimented me on how I was managing this dog as a few of them had to attend to him from time to time and had not had a great experience. I looked after this dog in his home for 12 days and had no problems. They have invited me back to take care of him anytime they go away. My daughter just got a new dog and she is full of energy and I love looking after her. Most dogs are attracted to me. I have been told many times that this dog never goes to strangers and they’ll come to me.. I am retired so with a few days notice I can alter my schedule to give you piece of mind and come let your dog out and take it for a walk. I am physically fit and love walking. I can take care of your dog in your backyard, house or go for a walk. I love to give them lots of cuddles and scratchings, And treats only if approved by owner. I will never give any food/treats to a dog unless I consult with the owner.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, loving and caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I’d love to visit, walk, or have your dog come stay with us while you’re away! I have a 4 1/2 year old male labernese who is very friendly and energetic, he loves to play and gets along very well with other dogs. We love to hike and stay active outdoors! I have experience with senior dogs, medication administration, and care as well. I work part time out of the house(very minimal hours throughout the week ) however the majority of the day and evening I am home. I am available for boarding Monday - Sunday, morning /mid-day walks Monday-Friday and Saturday/Sunday 6:00pm-8:00pm. I have a fully fenced large yard with a safe environment for play. My home is pet friendly throughout with plenty of space to get comfortable.I live in a quiet neighbourhood with walking trails nearby.

About: I am a university student at UBCO living at home with my family and 2 dogs. This gives me the unique flexibility to stay overnight and care for pets on short notice. I have had dogs my whole life, and currently have a senior rescue, and a puppy at home. This gives me the experience I need to care for all kinds of dogs, well trained, not yet trained, puppies, seniors, rescues, purebreds etc. I have been dog and cat sitting for family friends several times a year for over 3 years since high school. I am a very responsible person, extremely reliable, and communicate well. I love the outdoors and going for walks, as well as lazy days at home. I have a very flexible school and work schedule. I am a student at UBCO and have several 3-4 hour gaps in my day which I can come home and spend time with the pets. I am done my classes around dinner time, and can come straight home for the evening. On the weekends, I am a server at a restaurant in town and generally only work 4-6 hour shifts. This means I am around for the majority of the day. I have been dog walking for many years as I have had dogs my whole life. With clients, I try and keep the pet’s routine as similar as possible to their owner’s. I like to be around as much as possible and keep the pets as comfortable as they can be while their owner is away.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I started caring for pets when I was 12, and what began as helping neighbors quickly grew into over 20 years of experience with cats, dogs, and even horses. From playful puppies to senior pets, I’ve seen it all and I know how to meet each animal where they’re at. I believe pets deserve more than just “care” — they deserve comfort, companionship, and someone who truly understands them. Whether that means long walks, gentle grooming, or just extra snuggles, I make sure every pet feels loved and safe while their people are away. You can relax knowing your pets will be treated like family, because to me, that’s exactly what they are. 🐾 Caring for others has always been at the heart of my life. I work casually as a care aid in healthcare, and caring for animals has been a constant alongside that for over 20 years. From cats and dogs to horses, I’ve loved being the person people can rely on when they need someone trustworthy and compassionate. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s keeping up with a playful pup, providing comfort to a senior cat, or just making sure your pets feel safe and loved, I treat every animal as if they were my own. When I care for pets in someone else’s home, I understand I’m being trusted with two of your most important things — your animals and your space. I take that responsibility seriously by keeping routines consistent, paying attention to details, and making sure pets and homes stay safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.

About: I’ve been a pet owner all my life. From mice, rats, bunnies, chickens, quail, ferrets, aquatics, birds, cats, and dogs. I’m offering a home experience. I can take Critters of all sorts anytime, however my cat or dog reservations are from one household set at a time. I have an easygoing chihuahua who gets along with everyone. A meet and greet can be set up prior to ease everyone’s comfort. He is cat savvy and believes they’re his friend, however if your feline prefers their space he can take a hint. I’m comfortable giving your pet meds. We have a cute fenced safe secure yard and nice quiet neighbourhood for walks. I’m currently home 90% of the time (though I am looking for more work outside the home part time.) Our home is very comfortable and and fur babies are a priority. We are a positive pet home. Cuddles and Netflix, yard time and walks. Plenty of one sided conversations and side eye looks. Unlike grandmas house, we do respect fur babies Mama and Papa’s rules. ;) we have fun and patience but routine is important for happy secure babies.

About: I have been caring for pets and house sitting for friends and family for over 5 years, and I’m now expanding into professional pet care. I’m known for being reliable, calm, and attentive to each animal’s routine and personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies who need structure and training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who require patience, medication support, and a gentle approach. I treat every home and pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, settled, and well cared for while their owners are away. Basically, I follow instructions well, give lots of belly rubs, and I take my job very seriously… but I will also absolutely talk to your dog like they’re my best friend. Ps. I also offer flexible scheduling and am last-minute booking friendly when available Pet care fits well into my routine alongside my full-time role in hospitality at a winery, where I work Tuesday to Saturday. I’m typically available for morning care before work, evenings after my shift, and I have full availability on Sundays and Mondays. I’m also comfortable with early check-ins, late drop-ins, and overnight stays depending on the needs of the pet and the booking. I’m very organized and used to balancing a busy schedule, so I make sure pet care commitments are planned in advance and always given my full attention when I’m with your pets. I am happy to accommodate last-minute bookings when my schedule allows. I offer flexible care depending on what works best for each pet and client—whether that’s in my home or yours. My priority is always keeping pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In my home, I live in a spacious walk-up studio with a large fenced backyard, which gives dogs plenty of room to get outside, play, and relax safely. I keep the environment clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I make sure any visiting pets feel like they have their own little space here. In clients’ homes, I’m very respectful and mindful of routines, instructions, and household rules. I stick closely to feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any specific training or behaviour guidelines. I also keep communication open with regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

Angie was prompt and polite during the meet and greet. Her communication was great. The pictures she sent of my cats made me feel a sense of relief that they were being well looked after. She even helped me out with a non-pet related request while at my home. I would book with her again.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and have always lived with them! I grew up with a wannabe escape artist beagle, and feel confident I can handle the most stubborn of dogs now! I know how scary it can be to leave your pup, and I ensure I will love and care for your dog as if it were my own! In October 2024 we adopted a sweet girl from Mexico named Azul. She is my whole life! She would love to make some new doggy friends! I am here to make you feel comfortable with leaving your best friend in the hands of someone else. Whatever your pups needs are, I am happy to handle them with the best of care! Whether that be specific times/places for potty breaks and walks, administering medication, or anything else required! I will always be home with your pup and won’t leave them alone. My puppy had separation anxiety so I know how important it can be to some pups that I am always there! I currently don’t have a fenced yard but I have plenty of grassy space around my appartment to take your pups for their potty breaks and/or walks. My pup loves the dogs park, hikes, and walking in quiet areas, and I am happy to take yours wherever they are most comfortable for their adventures!

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and they truly hold a special place in my heart. For 12 wonderful years, I cared for my mini Pomeranian, Jersey, who has since passed. Through caring for her, I learned the importance of patience, attentiveness, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. Now, my husband and I have Molly, our one year old mini Dachshund. She’s energetic, playful, and full of spunk, which has reinforced the importance of consistency, patience, and positive engagement. As a dog owner myself, I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I provide a calm, loving, and safe environment while making sure each dog’s routine is followed closely, whether that includes walks, playtime, structure, or plenty of cuddle time. I love all animals, but dogs have a special place in my heart. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they’re being treated like family 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule. I own and operate my own dance studio, where I teach for a few hours in the evenings few days a week. Outside of those teaching hours, I’m home and available throughout. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention and maintain their routines. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life, and I’m able to prioritize each dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness while they’re in my care. Whatever your pet needs let me know and I will give them the best care! The goal is to make them feel as comfortable as possible while your away.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up on a farm with dogs and, in high school, worked as a veterinary assistant. Caring for animals has been a constant throughout my life, and I just love having them around. My husband and I recently said goodbye to our beloved cat after many wonderful years together. While we take some time to decide when to welcome another pet into our family, we're excited for the opportunity to care for yours. I work as a realtor with a flexible schedule and am currently completing my Master's degree in Counselling Psychology online. My husband also works from home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. While we don't have a large backyard, we have beautiful walking trails directly across the street and a dog park just a short walk away. We live in a quiet, family-oriented neighbourhood that is perfect for daily walks and outdoor time. Our goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and right at home. Thank you for considering us. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming your pet into our home. 🐾 I work as a realtor with a flexible schedule and am currently completing my Master's degree in Counselling Psychology online, so I spend much of my time at home. My husband also works from home, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Between daily walks, outdoor time, playtime, and cuddles, we strive to make pets feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. I believe pets are happiest when their usual routines are maintained as closely as possible. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, I take the time to learn their preferences, habits, exercise needs, and favourite activities. In my home, pets will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, walks, playtime, and affection in a safe and calm environment. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I will ensure your pet is well cared for while also respecting your home and keeping you updated with regular photos and messages. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident while you're apart.

This star sitter took on my very last minute request during the holiday as a brand new client. This gave me the ultimate peace of mind while I traveled to see family and I felt complete trust knowing my dog was well taken care of with updates and photos. I could see his relaxed and happy expressions in all the pictures I received. Coming home to a happy dog created an excellent experience. I strongly recommend Olga as your next pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in West Kelowna on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 436 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in West Kelowna. About 85% of West Kelowna 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.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available during your working hours. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

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 West Kelowna 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 West Kelowna 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
