“Michaela was outstanding looking after our little feline fur baby for the first time. We had a power outtage and some of our tv speaker glitched & making high pitched noise and she kindly sorted it out so it wouldn't bother our cat. We would definitely recommend her to others and book her again.”
About: I am a dedicated canine lover that has a lifelong bond with dogs. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages, and committed to providing a loving , safe, and comfortable environment. Ready to offer personalized care and attention to ensure your dog feels cherished and content during their stay with me. I'm retired and have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets.

I have a fully fenced yard with no chance of escaping while outside. We do not have any other pets in the home so your fur baby will get my full attention.
“Nicole was wonderful to work with. She took extra care with my pets and communicated well. It was a great relief feeling comfortable while away that my pets were well cared for. She went above and beyond keeping everything clean as well.”
“We would 100% ask Elisabeth to watch our two cats again. Both girls took to her quickly (which never happens!), and Elisabeth sent photos and updates during our trip. She made the process easy, is a strong communicator, and put us at ease. Highly recommend! :)”
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.
About: I'm an animal lover with experience caring for dogs as a kennel assistant. I'm comfortable with dog walking, drop-in visits for dogs, and checking in on cats. I'm reliable, caring, and passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for! I’d love to walk your dog! I’m available all day on weekdays and Sundays for tail-wagging adventures. Saturdays are my day to recharge, but every other day I’m ready for lots of walks and cuddles! My home is quite small - especially with my large fluff balls, so i am more than happy to come to your house and assist any way i can.
“Toni is amazing! She did drop off visits for my french bulldog for about 2 weeks. He’s a bougie little guy who gets his lunch meal prepped (due to pancreatitis) and heated up. She came by for about an hour everyday and fed him/ took him out. She also took the time to do drop by introduction before taking care of him. After the first visit he was waiting by the door looking for her the entire night when I get home. If I afford to hire her full time I would. Highly recommend trying her out if you need someone to care for your pets!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous but Cassidy was fantastic. Highly communicative, the cats are happy, and she also took out our garbage which was wonderful! I highly recommend booking Cassidy.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have had both dogs and cats in my home since I was nine years old. At one point, I lived in a busy household with four dogs and two cats! For the past 10 years, I’ve also regularly pet sat and walked dogs for people in my community. So, I have lots of experience walking, playing with, and caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I now have a two-year-old mini Goldendoodle of my own, his name is Matcha! We’ve completed both beginner and intermediate dog training together, which has given me more hands-on experience with training and positive reinforcement. I’ve also volunteered at a veterinary clinic, where I had the opportunity to work around animals while helping out in my community. I genuinely love animals and would treat your pets with the same care I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable and do my best to maintain their normal routine. I pay attention to each pet’s body language and personality and adapt as needed. On walks, I’m attentive to our surroundings and always prioritize your pet’s safety.

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.

Magdala looked after my two senior cats and I am so pleased with the amount of work she did. I came home to zero mess! And I could tell after each check in she gave them lots of attention and pets (they are demanding so I don’t think she had a choice, haha). So pleased that they were cared for in the same way I would have cared for them. Thank you Magdala!
Thanks Xenia, for taking care of my kitties, changing their litter box, topping up their water, and feeding them wet food. The photos and videos really brightened up my day while I was away from them. I would recommend Xenia to everyone. She was professional, experienced, and caring.
Caroline is incredible! She has always been very reliable and on time. We don’t know what we would do without her! She goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is taken care of and sends us updates with how she’s doing! If you’re looking for a dog walker she’s your girl! Thank you Caroline! 🥰

The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Kelowna is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 per visit. On Rover, 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 454 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in West Kelowna. About 87% 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.

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 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 .
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.

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 .
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, 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.
