“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.”
“Angela took really good care of Lily for the day. She did a great job at communicating with us through the whole process. We would have her look after Lily again.”
“Tracey is so good with my puppy! She’s watched him while I was at work and he came home happy and tired. One of the days she watched him was very hot and she was sure to keep his walks short and even set up AC in one part of the house for him. My puppy can be pretty high energy but Tracey handles him perfectly and she is so kind. I definitely recommend her as a dogsitter!”
“Our puppy has had the pleasure of being in Tosha's care for countless times. She is very caring and playful with Stetson. Tosha is always my first call for sitting and daycare.”
“Jessica was great! Our little guy came home very happy. He even pulled us towards her house when we were on our evening walk a couple of nights after his stay with her. 🤣”
“Olive enjoyed going on walks with Sheryl and loved sitting outside on her beautiful patio! Sheryl has a lot of experience with older dogs and was very attentive to Olive’s needs. We appreciated all she did to make Olive’s first stay as comfortable as possible.”
“Amazing experience with Lara, 10/10! She will be my lower lonsdale go to from now on :) She was awesome with my quirky dog, and flexible on meeting up beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. Thank you so much Lara!”
“Lisa always does SUCH a great job with my dog, Basil. She’s super attentive and takes the time to ask/understand Basil’s preferences and tendencies (ex. How much water she drinks, hrs of napping etc.). Thank you Lisa for always making sure Basil has a great time :)”
“Lucy is such a lovely person. Yoshi came back all tired out and happy. He had a fun time with lots of walks, play time and cozy naps. Lucy was very communicative and sent lots of photos. Will definitely book her again for the best time for Yoshi.”
“Our dog Scotty had lots of fun with Menghan. We got a lot of videos and photos throughout the day so we knew she was doing well. It’s nice having a lot of room for the dogs to play and roam.”
“Nazanin was kind and patient with us. She kept us updated on Kia throughout the day. This was our first time using Rover and having someone outside the family watch Kia, who has separation anxiety. The experience was excellent, and we’ll definitely book with Nazanin again. Thank you!”
“Britt was amazing. We got stuck in getting back to pick Rufus up and she was so accommodating and that we are so grateful. She kept us up to date with photos throughout the day which we loved. Cannot recommend Britt enough! Thank you again”
“What a wonderful couple who were so kind, caring and patient with our anxious rescue! Our pooch isn’t usually a fan of people, but warmed super quickly to Luiz and Luciana! They followed our instructions and sent regular updates. We’ll be regular clients!”
“Yumi felt comfortable with Isaac and Yams right away, and she had a wonderful afternoon with them! Isaac took them on a long walk and she was super happy and tired when she came back home. Isaac was very communicative and kept me updated. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again!”
“I had a great experience with Alejandra. She took perfect care of my 14 year old dog with no trouble. Smooth communication, very reassuring and caring! My pup is usually a little shy at first but Alejandra was so patient and sweet! I’m so glad I reached out to her to watch my boy! I would definitely recommend Alejandra to anyone that’s looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“Guy & Zol are very knowledgeable and diligent about the health, safety, and well-being of pups in their care. Easy to coordinate with, very caring and playful, they provide tons of pics, updates and reassurance that your pup is having a great day. Ella can’t wait to go back and slept for 4hrs straight after a day of fun, stimulation, cuddles and naps :) Highly recommend!”

Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Lions Bay commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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 dog, 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in BC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
