About: From taking care of my own, to taking care of others, I have many years of experience with all type of animals, breeds of dogs, and sassy cats. With multiple years of a frequent customer with a very friendly pup and a very vicious pup, I know how to handle it all. At the end of the day I can assure you, your fur babies will be in the best of hands when being cared for by me! I am currently a full time student in college and would love to spend my free time helping others and hopefully taking care of your fur babies ! From some mornings, afternoons, or any night of the week I am available for booked, or short notice care! Frequent bathroom breaks, breakfast and diner, medication when needed, and cuddles often, I can adapt to any schedule or routine your pet needs to make sure they are well taken care of.
“Amazing. She clearly loves what she does and it shows. Very flexible and willing to change days as needed. Highly recommend. The only reason she's not continuing to walk my girl is because I'm moving.”
About: I have always had pets until this last year (cats and dogs). I now walk my daughters' dogs for them daily early morning, and I really enjoy having that daily connection with my furry friends! Being semi-retired I am available for consistent and reliable care. I am working from home in the mornings, and then always take my walks in the afternoons, so that is the best time for me to come to your home to walk or visit your pet. I am available for visits in West Kelowna. I can visit in your home and/or yard and also take your pet for a walk in your area.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets for around ten years, and before that I had, and continue to, frequently house and dog sit! I am currently a student at UBCO and I am able to be quite flexible in my schedule in order to provide the care and services you may need! I can easily take care of animals with higher needs, and have experience with very high energy and moderately reactive animals! I try to be as accommodating as possible!
About: I had a dog for majority of my life. He was small and independent but so lovable. Growing up I learnt how to take care of him and not only him. I watched some of my friends dogs while they went away and even have some experience with medium sized dogs. I am adaptable and happy to keep to your pets routine to keep it stress free! I am a university student who attends school 3 days of the week. I have fridays off so my whole weekends are available. Whether thats over night or just stopping by a couple times a day im flexible. I will watch the pets at my moms house (which has no animals) if I am boarding. It is a townhouse with a courtyard area. I will keep your pet leashed to ensure safety. If at your house I will learn the environment and routine to keep your pet happy and safe:)
About: My daughter and I love Dogs, but we arnt allowed anymore. We have been fostering and puppy sitting for 8 years now. Love every minute of it. I work from home and spend very little time at my desk. This leaves me lots of time for walks, puppy parks, beach and cuddles. We do not have a fenced yard but a gated patio area. We also love trips to the park or a walk around the neighbourhood.
“Rhonda was amazing with my 3 month old puppy. Not only is she very personable but she went above and beyond and took my pup for extra time AND come early. Will definitely be using her again!”
About: Anxiety, reactive, skittish, senior dogs, dogs that need space, dogs that can't be off leash, high energy and low energy, dogs that don't enjoy other dogs, watching closely there reaction to each situation and managing as needed. I work from home and am available to walk care for, or board for your dog over night, weekends or extended visits weekends or weekdays. I have a large fenced backyard on 1/3 acre in West Kelowna, as well as a dog proof home that can house your animal as part of the family.
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: I am very active outdoors- walking, running, hiking. My family home had two dogs, one day I plan to take on the responsibility of my own pup, and in the meantime I cherish any opportunity to care for them:) I currently work part time and do personal projects. You can expect your pup to have morning, afternoon and evening walks during the weekday, and join me for adventures on the weekend. Some common ones being walks and hikes on nearby trails. Scratches and cuddles, food and fresh water as per their schedule, playing with them. Kindness and affection are absolutes. Any other elements like toys or favorite spots to ensure they feel safe.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Kelowna
Mike was awesome with Bella and Cora. They were both super happy to see him everyday and came back content and tired from their walks. He even took Cora down to the nearby dog park on the last day and she got to meet a bunch of puppers (along with Mike’s golden). Would have Mike come walk the dogs again anytime!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in West Kelowna on Rover is $24.61 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 456 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in West Kelowna. About 84% 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.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in West Kelowna. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in West Kelowna.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in West Kelowna with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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 walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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!
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
