About: For the past couple of years I have been pet sitting for a colleague and friend of mine and I absolutely love it. I have experience with dealing with dogs with some special needs and I am more than welcome to learn. The youngest I have had was 4 years old and then all the way up to 15 years old. Let me take the load off your shoulders and be able to take care of your fur babies. Though I love dogs, please know that I REALLY love cats too. I am catgirl at heart so please be rest assured that I will take amazing care of them as well. I used to have a feral cat, now with my loving parents 🐈. Currently I have three, so I also do know how it can be when not everyone gets along. Almost everyone in my life owns a cat, so I hope that gives some perspective :). So yes. I’m here for your dog.. but I am also here for the cat folks too 🐾. I have a very flexible schedule due to my job. It allows for myself to create my own schedule so it not only makes my life easier but could very well make yours too. Weekends I have availability and during the week it varies! I care for the pets in my own life allowing them to roam wherever they desire. Besides some closest but they always make their way .

About: I have been around all types of pets my entire life. I’ve taken care of dogs from Newfoundland’s to chihuahuas. I’m great with pets and have been responsible for cleaning, feeding, walking, and playing with lots and lots of dogs. I am a big animal person and want to do something with it in the future. In my childhood I would go to my aunts house often to take care of her 5 Newfoundland’s and bulldog. I would take my sisters chihuahua to the mountains of Colorado. Every nearby neighborhood I grew up by as a child knew me for my exceptional dog care and would want me to walk and dog sit for them all the time. It comes natural for someone when it is what they really love to do. I am currently self employed so I can make time or move my schedule around to accommodate your pets schedule needs. Open availability for right now. I give my cat lots of love and affection. I also take care of proper feeding and cleaning. Lots of experience feeding and walking dogs as well.

“Lindsey went above and beyond taking care of my 2 dogs last minute for me. She followed instructions and communicated with me throughout the day, using the Rover app check-in and sending me pics and updates. She even noticed my Pekingese, Holly, was overdo for a haircut and asked if it was ok to brush/groom her. She did an awesome job and Holly very much appreciated it! Will definitely ask Lindsey to sit again.”

About: As a furmama of 14 years to my sweet chocolate lab and now caring for my 3 year old German Short-haired Pointer I know how important they are to us. I have trained both of my pups to walk without pulling and at a heel. Would love to meet your furbaby and help get them some exercise while you are busy. I'm available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays anytime. I work full-time so during the week my flexibility is worked around my work schedule which fluctuates. Message me to check availability. I do have a fenced in yard and a 3 year old GSP that loves to play. I have had dogs my whole life and love to play and spend time with them as long as they are friendly.

About: I cared for the family dog for 5 years, she was 7 when we rescued her after a breeder no longer wanted her. We wanted to give her the best years for her retirement. I then opened my home to fostering dogs a year later, to give another pup the chance to learn and experience the joys of being a family dog. I have since fostered a handful of different dogs ranging from a 3 month old puppy to a prospective agility dog, as well as a 65lb gentle giant. Whether it’s taking it slow with your senior pup or multiple daily walks/enrichment for your high drive bestie, I can do it all! Available day and night. Your pup, if crate trained, would be alone for a maximum of 3-hours, when needed. If not crate trained a secure room will be utilized in emergencies for a maximum of 1-hour. I have multiple sized crates both soft and metal. If your pup is house trained free roaming will always be allowed. If your dog has trouble acclimating and/or is not house trained, a play pen or crate may be utilized to minimize clean up from accidents. Sleeping on the bed is preferred for me, but I respect boundaries and/or crate training if needed. Dogs are never allowed off leash when outdoors, for their security and mine. Located on a quiet street with a backyard. Access to parks and trails within 20 minutes for more active dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was little. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have experience with larger breeds like Pit Bulls and Cane Corsos as well as smaller dogs like Yorkies and Mini Poodles, and I’m comfortable adjusting my care style to fit each dog’s personality and needs. As a student working part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care seamlessly into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting on weekends and weekdays. I provide care in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their familiar space. I’m attentive, respectful of your home, and make sure to follow your pets’ routines closely so they feel safe and well cared for while you’re away.

About: My aunt got a golden puppy a few months after I was born and we would get pushed in the stroller together. So, I guess you could say I didn’t have a choice- I was born into a life of furry companions! My whole life I have adored animals and was even fortunate enough to have my own dog by my side for over 18 years. I’ve taken care of pets of all ages and abilities for as long as I can remember, and consider it a privilege to be able to say that. Pets add so much value, joy, and love to my life so I can’t wait to meet yours! 🦮🐈‍⬛🦜🐎🦎 My job is hybrid which means I work partially remote. As a result of this, I see this set-up as an opportunity to spend more time with animals! As the story goes, I asked my dad if we could adopt a dog every single day for years. Thankfully, the pestering worked and he caved! From the get go I have wanted animals in my life and since then have never once wanted that to change. Our pets are beloved and deserve to be treated with the utmost love and care; and I can guarantee you they’ll receive nothing less while under my care!😌😌

Fruzsina was absolutely amazing with Ahmi! She sent detailed updates and photos after every visit, was so patient while Ahmi adjusted, and genuinely cared about making her feel comfortable. She paid close attention to Ahmi's behavior and kept us informed about everything. By the end of the week, Ahmi had really warmed up to her and was excited for their walks, which meant so much to us. It's clear she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. We felt completely at ease knowing Ahmi was in such caring hands. We would absolutely book with Fruzsina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and compassionate pet sitter!

We had a great experience with Julia. She was very accommodating and attentive to our dog. We could tell from the photographs that our dog felt comfortable with Julia. The dog seemed well cared for when we got home, and our house was just the way we left it. We would definitely work with Julia again knowing that we'll have peace of mind while the dog is at home.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Vernon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Vernon is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,158 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Vernon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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 Vernon 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 are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. 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 sitters in Vernon with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Vernon. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

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