“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! :)”
“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.”
“Nicole was awesome! She was super responsive and easy to communicated with. My cat has advanced kidney disease and it was a huge relief to have someone so knowledgeable check in on him. High recommend.”
“Isabella showed up on time to spend time with my pup and took great care of him while she was there. She was communicative through out the process. I loves the pictures she provided of her visit.”
“Hope was excellent with my puppy. She is 20 weeks old and is teething. She is quite mouthy right now and Hope was calm and patient with her. I will be asking Hope to return on those days when I have to be out of the house for extended periods.”
About: We have owned many dogs and are very experienced and caring dog owners. We love dogs and will take very good care of your fur baby while they are under our care in our home. We will play with them both inside and outside and take them for several walks while they are in our care. I am retired and my husband works from home so we are able to watch your dog for extended periods of time. We will take them out often for a stretch, to exercise and to do their business. We have large front and back yards, as well as many walking trails just outside our door with plenty of room for your dog to run and get their exercise. We don’t currently have our own pet, but love dogs and will take very good care of your pet while we dog-sit. We live in a small gated community at the end of a cul-de-sac with very little traffic. We often watch and board our friends’ Labradors while their owners travel.
About: I've been pet sitting for 21 years and have spent my life caring for animals of all kinds. Over the years, I've worked as a pet sitter, dog walker, kennel assistant, veterinary assistant, and now working toward a profession of dog training, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. What sets me apart is that I don't simply exercise dogs - I help them build better habits. Every walk is a training opportunity, with a focus on calm behaviour, loose leash walking, engagement, impulse control, and good manners, all tailored to your dog's individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, reactive or anxious dogs, high-energy breeds, and pets requiring medication or special care. Whether your dog needs an adventure, extra patience, or a consistent routine while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own while providing plenty of updates and photos for your peace of mind. I'm currently building my dog training business full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my attention to every pet in my care. I'm available for weekday walks, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, and overnight care. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, every dog receives plenty of individual attention, exercise, and enrichment. My goal is quality care - not rushing from appointment to appointment. Your pet's safety and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each dog's personality, routines, and comfort level before every booking. I use secure equipment, practice safe handling, and never introduce unfamiliar dogs unless requested by the owner. For boarding, dogs become part of my daily routine with structured walks, rest periods, enrichment activities, and lots of one-on-one attention. I maintain a calm environment that helps dogs feel relaxed and secure while you're away. You'll also receive regular photo updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
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.
“Viktoriia is an awesome dog walker. She responds quickly to our requests. She is friendly, committed, timely and most importantly our dog really looks forward to her arrival and walks. Thanks Viktoriia.”
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: Hi! I’m excited to offer attentive, loving care for your pets. Animal care has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember—I’ve been caring for dogs and puppies since I was 10 years old, raising my own pups, and regularly stepping in to look after pets for friends and family. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and sizes. Through training my own dog as a young adult and helping foster rescue dogs in my home, I’ve learned how to handle diverse personalities with patience, clear communication, and positive reinforcement. Whether your dog needs an active, energizing walk around the neighborhood, structured care, or just a calm, cozy stay while you’re away, you can trust that they will be safe, happy, and treated like family. Specialized Experience: Experienced in managing high-energy breeds, anxious temperaments, basic obedience training, multi-dog dynamics, and foster care. My flexible schedule as a part-time student and part-time employee allows me to give your pet consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Because I have substantial breaks between my classes and dedicated afternoon blocks off, I can easily fit in mid-day check-ins, walks, and feeding schedules. Monday & Wednesday: Available for morning, mid-day, and late afternoon check-ins during my class breaks, as well as full evening availability. Tuesday: Open and available all afternoon and evening. Thursday: Free during the morning and afternoon for check-ins and walks before my evening work shift. Friday: Available for morning and mid-day check-ins before my evening work shift. Saturday: Available for evening walks, dinner drop-ins, and overnight stays following my daytime work shift. Sunday: Completely free all day and evening for full-day care, long walks, and flexible scheduling. Note: I’m always happy to share my exact class times during our meet-and-greet to lock in the precise time slots that best fit your dog’s routine! If you are looking for overnight boarding or daycare in West Kelowna, your pup will love staying at my home! Fully Fenced, Spacious Yard: I have a large, securely fenced backyard with plenty of room for your dog to safely run, play, fetch, and stretch their legs. Safe & Secure: Peace of mind is my top priority. The perimeter is fully enclosed so your dog can enjoy outdoor playtime safely and securely. Comforts of Home: Indoors, your dog will be treated like family—with cozy places to rest, plenty of personal attention, and a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Note that my home is pet free as well
“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!”

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 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: I have a 6 year old pup. Been pet sitting for over 8 years now. I just love doggos and wanna make some extra cash :) I work Tuesday, Thursday afternoons and all day Saturdays so that makes me available for Rover on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I walk my dog everyday so I can bring him along if your dog likes the company :) I treat dogs with patience and kindness. I like to go on long walks on nice days and take pups to the dog park. Cuddly and playful dogs are my fav :)
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. Being at home all day gives me more time to provide constant attention, walks, and companionship, creating a fulfilling environment for your pet. 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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Kelowna
Michaela is thoughtful about providing excellent updates to us every day as we have one cat who requires medication every day and our other cat is quite stand offish. By the end of the visits, both cats were very comfortable with Michaela! Highly recommend. Thank you Michaela.
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! 🥰
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 Pet Sitting in West Kelowna on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 442 sitters on Rover for Pet 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.
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.
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 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.
