“Jessica was incredibly caring, patient, and understanding with our shy dog, Sawyer. She knew exactly how to help him feel comfortable and at home during his overnight stay. Sawyer got lots of exercise, had a great time playing, and came home happy and relaxed. Jessica also sent us photos and updates throughout his stay, which we really appreciated and made us feel at ease. I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their furry family member!”
“Sheryl took exceptional care of our two dogs. We appreciated her updates and photos. Our dogs were relaxed and happy when we picked them up. We highly recommend her!”
“Luna had an amazing time with Cristina and playing with Rosie!! There were trail walks and romps. Christina kept us up to date with pics and videos so we could see how much Luna was settled in. We would’ve thrilled to leave Luna there anytime.”
“Thanks Michael and Jim, for taking such good care of Leo! We could tell from all the photos you sent how happy and relaxed he was with you, and appreciate all the walks and cuddles you gave him. We look forward to having him stay with you again soon!”
“Sandra and her family are absolutely lovely! She gave my dog so much love and attention, was great at sending me photos and updates and super quick communication. Highly recommend!!”
“Andrew was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. His professionalism up front really inspired trust, and once we made a solid connection at the meet and greet, I knew Luna was going to be in good hands. She absolutely was treated like gold. The communication was reliable and flexible. All the photos he shared showed a very happy dog! I would 100% choose to board Luna with Andrew and his lovely partner again any time.”
“Lindsey was an excellent care giver to our two puppies overnight! I was feeling a bit nervous to leave them and she was very communicative and sent pictures throughout their stay which made the process a lot easier:) we already booked another sleepover!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience for Paco! This was his first time ever being away from us for 3 nights, and Lara made the entire experience so much easier. Paco was happy, well cared for, and absolutely loved his walks. One thing that meant a lot to us was knowing that Lara let Paco cuddle up with her at night, helping him feel safe and comfortable while away from home. Lara was also very accommodating when we wanted to visit him and take him out for a few hours during his stay. We’re so grateful for the love, care, and attention Lara gave Paco. We would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter! 🐾❤️”
“Flynn had a fantastic stay with Jennifer and David!! He enjoyed the lovely porch and long walks every day. It was extra nice that the house was filled with their family and their family dog so he always had someone to play with. We received daily updates and pictures on his well being, mostly around the same time every day, which made checking in extremely easy. It was a fantastic stay and we absolutely plan to utilize them again!”
“I’m giving Ranah and Franki five stars because everything went perfectly during the week they cared for my dog. Hero was happy and active the whole time, and even though I was out of town, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. We stayed in touch through the app throughout the week, and I received updates at least twice a day about how he was doing. Overall, if they’re open to it, I would absolutely love to have them help us again on future trips!”
“Jeanette and Hector were amazing! They sent multiple photos which we loved. Our dog seemed so well taken care of, we’d definitely use them again. Thank you again!”
“I didn’t meet Elizabeth & Dominic personally but they stepped in to help me out for a day while I was traveling. They were very responsive and sent updates and photos throughout the day, my dog seemed at ease very quickly in their care!”
“Samira was sooo great with my anxious dog Loki! She and her sister spoiled him with lots of cuddles and big walks & adventures that he loves! He came home happy and tired! She was so patient with him as he is very particular and fussy about EVERYTHING! She provided detailed updates and photos throughout the stay. It was really easy to communicate with her. She definitely goes out of her way to make the stay easier! Won’t hesitate to ask for her help again in the future!”
“When we looked on Rover for the first time, we thought we were looking for our puppy’s first sitter. Instead - we found him a second loving home and family (not to mention - new friends of ours)! Viktoriia and Henry are amazing caretakers - full of experience, intimate care, love and affection. All throughout our puppy’s stay, they were attentive in their genuine personal care for our puppy and provided updates to ease our mind and heart. Their home is clean and doggy safe, with a great nearby outdoor environment for all your doggy’s needs. Most importantly - Viktoriia and Henry are incredibly caring people and pet lovers, and it shows in their care - period. Thank you for a great stay, and Buster says ‘See you soon again!’”
“Wei was great with my cat! She was communicative and sent videos of him. She was careful with introducing my cat to her cats. I really appreciated her help and would definitely book with her again!”

“Jessica is amazing with my pup, Molly! She clearly loves dogs and takes such good care of her. Many walks during the day and reporting back to me with photos, which is very much appreciated. My dog is 12 lbs and adores her dog, Sheriff who is a 75 lb black lab. I don’t think Molly knows she’s small lol. I take her there once a week and I know she will have a fun filled day. I highly recommend Jessica as a caregiver for your pet - she’s great!”
“Christina and her family are amazing, very kind and Floki was so happy when we got him back. He played all day at the beach and climbing gym. Communication was excellent and she also sent us pictures of Floki during the day! Highly recommend her!!”
“Robin is the best! She loves dogs and it shows. She's so attentive. She understands the dogs' little personality quirks. She even went above and beyond to sew my dogs harness when one of my dogs chewed it. She's so accommodating to switch times. My dogs love her and her place and go there and don't look back and are so tired and happy when they come home. She sends great updates and pictures. And she's so dog knowledgeable.”
“Once again Menghan has been super accommodating to last minute requests of mine, and I’m pretty sure my dog now loves going to a Menghan’s home more than staying home with me! Thank you again!”
“Amy was SOOO accomodating! And just a friendly and caring person overall. It was my first time using a pet sitter while on a road trip to Ucluelet and I decided to try squeeze in some whale watching. Amy accepted Zoey with 1 nights notice and even accomodated an earlier drop-off because I forgot to account for the 45min check-in time for the excursion. Amy sent text & pic updates. Zoey was very well taken care of & even got to enjoy an oceanside walk. :)”
“This was our first time using Rover and our 13-month-old teacup Maltipoo, Prince’s, first doggy daycare experience. As nervous pet parents, we weren’t sure what to expect. Prince is very tiny and can be a little shy, timid, and anxious, but Andrea and Sergio were very understanding of his needs and helped him get settled in and feel comfortable. They kept us updated throughout the day with photos, which gave us peace of mind. When we picked Prince up, Sergio took the time to answer our questions and share some helpful tips on socializing him. Prince had a great day, and we’ve already gone ahead and booked our next daycare visit. We would absolutely recommend Andrea and Sergio to anyone looking for knowledgeable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitters.”
“Jennifer and David were both very caring with our dog, Lucy. Lucy can be a bit anxious when meeting new people and other dogs and from the first introduction I felt they were a good fit for us. They were very sensitive and wanted to know what might be the best way to bring their dog Ruby out to meet Lucy. The introduction went great and when I later dropped Lucy off for daycare and she was feeling overwhelmed, Jennifer was quick to respond to her needs, helping her calm down with a walk. I left knowing Lucy was in good hands and the sweet pictures she sent me throughout the day showing Lucy cuddled up with her and David confirmed just that. I’ll definitely use their services again and would highly recommend them, especially if your dog struggles with anxiety or any other special need.”
“First time booking with Lisa and my experience was great! Evie was definitely tired when we got her back which tells us she was playing and enjoying her time the whole day! We were happy she got to play with other puppies! Great communication throughout the day also! Highly recommend Lisa!”
About: I am a home owner near ubc trails but I have my own dog safe vehicle for trips to the beach or longer hikes if desired. I was born in Vancouver but grew up on a farm so I have extensive experience with all types of animals. I have a dog of my own as well as several horses. I am self employed so very flexible to suit your schedule and available any day of the week. I have worked with cats and dogs as a vet assistant for many years before becoming a professional horse trainer so I am comfortable handling all types of dogs in a calm and confident way which animals respond well to allowing them to feel confident and safe also. I hope to be given a chance to meet with you and get to know your pet.
“I am out of words to express how grateful I am for the care my dog, Bobo, received. All this happened when I had to travel to Canada on a days notice due to work. On such short notice, she welcomed Bobo into her home and made her feel completely at ease. Her sweet dog, Loki, quickly became Bobo’s best buddy, which made me so happy. She took Bobo on regular walks, sent me updates, and made me feel truly at peace while I was away. It’s rare to find someone so kind, reliable, and genuinely loving toward animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again — Bobo is already looking forward to her next visit!”
“Jie is amazing! We’re her neighbors, and while it’s convenient for us, the real gift is how lovingly she takes care of our Roxy. She has a pup of her own, and it’s clear she truly cares. We hope to continue this wonderful relationship for the long term!”
“We were so happy with Tracey's service and level of care. She was attentive and sent many photos and updates which made us feel our dog was safe in her care. We would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life before moving over to Vancouver from Ireland .I'm a lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. Over the past two years, I have experienced caring for different sizes and breeds of dogs. I'm living in a house in the great town of Kitsilano. My place is ten minute walk from Kitsilano beach, which is ideal for walks and dog socializing. If your dog loves to go hike and run, I will for sure keep them entertained! If you have any special requirements, please do not hesitate to ask. I currently work Monday - Friday 7am - 3pm. Weekends are totally free. I usually go for a walk to the beach next to my apartment after work which ideal for any dog! When I am caring for pets, I ensure there is always a full bowl of water available and food/snacks are given as instructed by the owner. I ensure the pet feels comfortable and safe.
“When I brought Teddy for his second visit he was very happy to see Guy and this is an excellent sign for me. Teddy recognized him right away and Guy gave Teddy lots of love which he of course adored! I could tell that Teddy was comfortable and relaxed. He went to play catch with Guy and we are planning to try an overnight stay. So glad we found Guy!”
About: Howdy! My experience is with dogs that have behavioral issues and separation anxiety. I have years experience with dog walking, training and sitting. Our beloved dog recently passed so we are hoping to open our empty nest to the community. We both have flexible workplaces that are well-trained dog friendly. I work from home on MFW. We are an active family and love a companion to share the outdoors with. We are close to pacific spirit and beaches! I hope your pet enjoys walking the coast and a nice cuddle. Looking forward to sharing our slice of paradise with your best friend.

About: Caring for animals has been a part of my life since childhood. I’ve owned dogs since I was 7 and spent 15 years working hands-on in veterinary clinics, as well as at shelters, gaining experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs. Before having children, I also ran my own pet-sitting service, caring for pets as if they were my own. I’m now a marine biologist who primarily works from home, but my love for animal care has never changed. Your dog will share our home with Sheriff, my very friendly black Lab, and my two young children, who love helping give extra attention and cuddles. Between playtime, walks, and lots of love, I’ll make sure your dog has plenty of fun and feels right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is a central part of our home life. I work from home , which allows me to be present throughout the day for feeding, playtime, walks, pats, and monitoring each pet’s comfort and wellbeing. My days are structured but flexible, with plenty of one-on-one attention, enrichment, and downtime. Whether it’s daily check-ins, extended stays, or extra cuddles, caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and prioritize every day of the week. I care for pets as if they were my own, focusing on safety, comfort, and maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. With 15 years of experience working in veterinary clinics and shelters, I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health, and recognizing changes in behavior or wellbeing. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, calm, and spacious environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and enrichment throughout the day. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided. Pets are never left alone for long periods and are supervised to ensure they feel secure and relaxed. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s space and the household. I provide reliable visits for feeding, walks, litter care, playtime, and companionship, while keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Monty loved Julie from the first moment he met her. She was right on time, very friendly and its obvious she's spent a lot of time with dogs. Julie was great and I highly recommend her!”
“Olivia was wonderful! You could really tell she loves animals! She was patient and kind with my timid dog Bunny and really took the time to get to know both dogs before taking them out. I will most definitely be using her services again!! ?”

Sawyer got lots of exercise, had a great time playing, and came home happy and relaxed. Jessica also sent us photos and updates throughout his stay, which we really appreciated and made us feel at ease.

“Maple and Otter had a great time. Connie gave me lots of updates and it sounds like they were comfortable with her family from the very start. Her dog Alpha was a great playmate and welcomed them graciously. I will definitely book with Connie again.”
“Tosha was brilliant with our GS Lucy. Lucy was very happy and Tosha got her out to several different places for walks. I can highly recommend Tosha, we will definitely call on her again.”
“I can absolutely recommend Sidney. She took great care of my dog Scarlett over the August long weekend. Sidney was incredibly communicative throughout the process and made sure that Scarlett would be comfortable throughout the weekend. She even helped her through a fright with some fireworks that happened during her stay which I really appreciated. Will definitely be booking her again.”
“Thank you for taking such amazing care of our dogs. We know that they are in such a good care when they are in your hands. We received daily updates of our dogs having a great time with Coco. We plan on boarding them again soon.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember - I grew up with a Border Collie for 15 years, which taught me that every dog has its own personality, quirks, and way of telling you exactly what they need. That experience gave me a real appreciation for the little things that make a dog feel truly at home. Over the past couple of years I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I offer both overnight stays and walks, so I’m happy to work with whatever routine suits your dog best. What I love most? Dogs with character. The ones with a spark in their eyes and a personality that fills a room. I give every dog the attention, patience, and affection they deserve, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and comfortable rather than just going through the motions. Your dog won’t just be looked after - they’ll be genuinely loved while you’re away. Side note: I have been pet sitting not on Rover which is why the reviews might look outdated :) I’m currently off work and taking some time to myself. I have lots of time to give your dog the attention and care it needs! I’ll make communicate closely to learn what you are comfortable with, but after having 20 years of caring experience, I feel confident about the safety of your dog.
“Britt is fantastic with my anxious pup. She also helped us with a last minute booking and a request to extend half way through- so appreciated. I get regular updates and indie comes home so relaxed and happy. Britt home is indies holiday home!”
“JM was an amazing dog sitter for Lulu! From the very beginning, JM was reliable, caring, and attentive, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Lulu was happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of love and attention. JM kept us updated with regular messages and photos, creative, beautiful journal entries, and it was obvious that Lulu felt comfortable and safe. I truly appreciated the professionalism, great communication, and genuine care shown throughout the stay. JM is a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Lulu—we would be happy to book with you again!”
“Zaid was fabulous with Simon! My big boy can have some separation anxiety, so finding somewhere he can stay and enjoy his time without me is so helpful. Zaid was super flexible on timing, shared lots of great feedback and photos, and was just an overall great experience. Speaking for Simon, I know he’ll be back to hang out with Zaid.”
“First time using Rover and couldn’t be more Pleased with Joshua. He kept me up to date and it was clear Chili was having a great time. I will assuredly choose Joshua again. It was a great feeling while away, that Chili was in good hands.”
“Justin & Taya took amazing care of my dog. They are communicative, punctual, and super friendly! Would not hesitate to leave my pup in their capable hands again :)”
About: I I’ve had the joy of being a devoted dog owner for over 20 years, and caring for dogs has been a meaningful part of my life throughout adulthood. Having also worked with dogs in a professional capacity at a Doggy Daycare for a year when I lived overseas taught me a lot about the importance of building relationships with families who put trust in others to care for their dogs. Over the years, I’ve also regularly cared for the dogs of friends and family, giving me experience with a variety of personalities, breeds, energy levels, and individual needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to make each pup feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. Whether it’s a playful adventure, a relaxing afternoon, a walk around the neighborhood, or simply some extra cuddles and companionship, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I currently do not have a dog so am in a position to give the dogs I care for my undivided attention. For me, dog sitting isn’t just a service—it’s an opportunity to provide the same love, attention, patience, and dependable care that I would want for any family member being cared for. After all, dogs are people too! I live a 15 minute walk away from work and get a one hour lunch break every day, so will come home midday for a walk. I work full time Monday to Friday. I live in a very secure condo and will ensure diligence with the number of washroom breaks and walks your dog needs. As each dog’s needs are unique, I will take your lead on how many pee breaks and walks your dog needs.
“Had a great experience having Amanda watch our dog overnight. She was so easy to coordinate the drop off and pick up with, quick to answer messages in the app and sent cute updates to let us know our dog was having a good time with them. Thanks for the pineapple Amanda! Alva has been carrying it around all day.”
“Our 12 year old boxer recently spent a long weekend with Guyband Zol and they took excellent care of him! He went on doggy adventures, had lots of cuddles, and relaxing time with them. We recommend them and will definitely have them look after him again!”
“Amanda took very good care of our 3 year old Australian shepherd who had never had a dog sitter before. We went away for the weekend, and was so delighted to hear from her throughout the time we were away- she shared how he was doing and showed photos of him having fun on his doggy walk through Alice Lake. It was really comforting to hear that:) Thomas and Amanda have a very friendly demeanour and enjoy looking after furry friends! I would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a reliable and responsible dog sitter.”
“We had a great experience with John and his partner while they looked after our dog Samson over the Christmas holidays. They were very communicative and send us plenty of pictures while gave us peace of mind while we were away. Samson was clearly well cared for and we were very happy with the experience. We would definitely recommend John and book with him again!”
