“Isabella is the best! She is very responsible and personable, and took great care of my cat Gooseberry! I appreciated the pictures she provided over the weekend. Goose also liked her a lot! :)”
“Eva was amazing. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars. She took such great care of my cat and also went above and beyond to take care of my home while I was gone. That was such a treat to come home to after an exhausting trip. She listened well to all my instructions and took great care to make sure everything was taken care of. Will definitely be using her services again.”
“Made our life- left our house better than it started and pampered the pups like they were her own. Worked with our stressful work situations like it was nothing and was a pleasure to keep in contact with! Thank you for everything, Trinity!”
“Erik is fantastic, he took the best care of our home and boy, and we could not be more pleased with his service. Everything in our home was gleaming, and our boy was calm and satisfied when we arrived home which told us so much. Thank you Erik for everything. We cannot recommend you highly enough to the entire Rover community. Truly deserving of every single star in this 5 star review.”
“Elisa took great care of our pup and our home. We really appreciated her regular communication, updates and questions along the way. She was flexible, attentive and kind.”
“Shana was wonderful with my pup Lola. She checked in with me as soon as she arrived and my girl was very settled when I returned from travelling. My pup even kept going to Shana’s guest room at night looking for her! All of Lola’s food dishes were washed and my space was just as perfect as I left it. I would definitely re-book with Shana (although I know she is very preferred) and highly recommend her caring services. Thank you, Shana.”
“Leah was an absolute lifesaver during a very difficult time for our family. She went above and beyond from the very beginning, making time to meet us, our dogs, chickens and ducks beforehand and accommodating a last-minute booking with less than 24 hours’ notice. Communication was outstanding throughout the entire experience. Her pre-booking contact was thorough and reassuring, and she kept us updated while we were away, giving us complete peace of mind. Most importantly, Leah genuinely prioritized our dogs’ needs. They are loving but reactive dogs and can be demanding to care for, yet she handled them with patience, understanding, and confidence. She took them on adventures, ensured they were well cared for, and treated them as if they were her own. We could not be happier with the experience. While Leah may be at the higher end of the price range, she is worth every penny for the level of care, professionalism, and peace of mind she provides. We are incredibly grateful for everything she did and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet and house care. Especially more demanding or special need scenarios. Thank you Leah!!!”
“Kaylee was an amazing friend to our dog Romeo who can be a lot to handle when first getting to know him but she did a great job an kept us updated throughout the days an was very respectful of our house. We will definitely have her back in the future”
About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal-lover and pet-owner who has worked extensively with the Okanagan Humane Society, fostering many pets with a variety of temperments and personalities. Because of this experience, I'm very comfortable taking care of animals with unique needs and administering medication as needed. I currently do not have any pets of my own, allowing me time to dedicate to your furry family members! I have 15 years of experience housesitting/dogsitting and have received glowing reviews. I'm very flexible and attentive, wanting your pet's routine to stay as consistent as possible while you're away! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I’m happy to schedule a meet and greet to ensure I’m the right fit for your dog’s needs! I work a 9-5 job from home, so I can be available for check-ins or short walks over my lunch hour. I have open availability evenings and weekends. I’m very flexible, please reach out if you have any questions! Pets are welcome to stay with me in my pet friendly apartment or I’m happy to work from your home and keep your pet company if you prefer. Because I work from home, I’m able to give your pet lots of attention and care while you’re away.
“As a first time user of Rover, I was quite nervous leaving our two small dogs. Kirstin was great with them and even came back immediately to assist further when the airline left us stranded over night and out of province. Kirstin relieved a large amount of stress during an already stressful time. The dogs were healthy and happy and the house was left clean! I was also very thankful for the regular pictures showing them in their regular routine. We are very thankful to connect with Kirstin!”
About: Animals have been a big part of my life, and I bring both education and hands-on experience to every pet I care for. I have an undergraduate degree in animal biology and gained experience working in veterinary clinics where I learned the importance of careful observation and treating every animal as an individual. I also spent a year living with a breeder while completing Teachers college, helping with everything from birthing to feeding, to puppy development, house training, and the day-to-day care of the dogs. I’m comfortable around puppies and adult dogs. I’m currently a teacher so patience, consistency, communication, and staying calm when things get chaotic are part of my everyday life. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, patient companion or a consistent routine, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am currently off for the summer so I am generally available during the weekday and weekends. Once school begins I will be free after 4 PM during the weekdays and available during the weekends. I am able to pet sit at your home as I am extremely responsible, reliable and will ask questions for clarification. I am clean, courteous and will make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old and have always had dogs in my family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I love getting dogs out for walks, but I’m just as happy spending time with the little cuddle buddies who prefer relaxing on the couch. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already enjoy making time for walks, outdoor activities, and relaxing at home with a furry cuddle buddy. I can plan morning and evening walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins around my work schedule, with additional flexibility on weekends. I’m organized and will always make sure your pet receives consistent care, attention, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll carefully follow their usual routine, feeding instructions, walking preferences, and any special care needs. I’ll keep doors and gates secure, use a leash during walks, and make sure their environment is clean and free from anything unsafe. I’ll also give them plenty of attention, respect their boundaries, and send regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I am a resident doctor in Kelowna with a passion for animals. I have been taking care of neighbours' pets since I was 12 years old. I am the go-to friend for a pet sitter in my circle of friends. Whether it’s a long walk, some playtime, or simply giving them a little extra attention and affection, I’m always happy to spoil your pets like they’re my own! I'm currently training to be a family doctor in Kelowna. My schedule varies month to month depending on my rotation. I generally work 9-5 during the week and the occasional weekend call shift. Your pet's safety and comfort is my top priority! As a resident physician, I care deeply for my patients every day and I will make sure to provide the same top-level care to your pet. I will follow instructions closely and am happy to keep you updated with photos and messages about your pet. I will make sure your pet gets lots of attention, affection and exercise!
“Cassidy was amazing. She was so good with our dogs. It was great to have her in our home too. It was well looked after. Keeping the dogs at home in their familiar surroundings was definitely the way to go. We will absolutely use Cassidy again!”
About: I have a love for all furry friends and have a lifelong experience caring for family and friends' dogs of various breeds, temperaments and ages. I currently have an open schedule with weekdays and weekends as I am in a transition period between completing my masters and studying for the licensing exam in December. I live in a pet friendly apartment, however I am an active individual and love going for walks/runs, playing catch and whatever indoor/outdoor activities your pet enjoys.
“Tera stayed with our babies for 7 days. This is the first time we’ve used Rover. We were able to really enjoy our holiday knowing that they were in great hands. Got so many updates from Tera. She even went out of her way to look out for our granddogs on the same property. They had a different sitter. She was very caring when there issues at their house she stepped up and helped. Thank you so much”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Kelowna on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 319 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Kelowna. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in West Kelowna 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.
Tip: 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 West Kelowna 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 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!
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, identity 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
