“Samira was very diligent looking after our two dogs while we were away. She came by everyday at around noon and made sure they went out for their piddle break and seemed very caring. I'm loving with them. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and most recently had several senior, special needs cats with multiple health issues. I’m comfortable administering meds and sub- fluids. I currently work from home and am flexible to stay in a client’s home either days, evenings or both to provide companionship and care as needed. I do not provide care in my home as we have pets. I am happy to provide either drop in visits, day-long or overnight depending on your pet’s needs.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, along with time spent as a former SPCA volunteer. Through my volunteer work, I assisted with daily care, feeding, cleaning, enrichment, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable in a shelter environment. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for reptiles and fish, including maintaining proper habitats, feeding schedules, and monitoring health and behavior. I’m attentive to routines, patient with different personalities, and comfortable following detailed care instructions to ensure every pet receives the care they’re used to. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication. I’m always happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have total peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, so I’m able to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I structure my day around feedings, walks, playtime, and drop-ins, making sure each pet’s normal routine is maintained. I’m flexible with scheduling and always communicate clearly so owners know their pets are being well cared for. - Safety, routine, and gentle handling are top priorities - Calm, clean, and secure environment - Former SPCA volunteer with shelter-care experience - Respectful of pets’ boundaries and owners’ homes - Regular updates and clear communication
“Sophie was great! She was on time and let us know about the visit with Norman. We would recommend Sophie to anyone who is looking for a sitter/walker. Thanks so much Sophie!”
About: I’ve grown up with and taken care of cats and dogs since I was 5. I have had my own dog for the past 6 years and have helped many friends with pet sitting and pet care. I work from home so have a decent amount of flexibility and free time to walk, or take care of a dog. I take my own dog out for walks and adventures 3+ times a day as our regular schedule. I live in a condo, but we have a large fenced yard as part of our building. I have my own dog who can keep yours company and will want to play as well. We spend a lot of time out in the woods or by the water adventuring and playing

“A big thanks to Robin! She sent pictures and videos and did a great job caring for my cats. They were clearly comfortable and happy purring away in the videos. Even my old antisocial cat came out to engage! Thank you so much!”
“Jessica cared for my 2 cats in my home for 14 days and did a fantastic job! I received daily updates and photos and I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing my fur babies were well cared for. She will be their sitter for next time too. Thank you so much Jessica ! :)”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments for over 3 years. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress free. I follow routines closely, provide regular potty breaks, and make sure each dog gets the attention and care they deserve. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, and I treat every dog as if they were my own.

About: I am a fairly active individual and I can't wait to have a companion for my adventures. I worked for a pet hospital for over a year, mostly caring for the boarding animals. I have cared for many friends animals over the years and loved every minute of it. We had cats for many years when I was growing up. I live in lower lonsdsle close to so many trails and parks. I am a reliable, responsible individual and I appreciate the opportunity to share my love with your pets. Thank you In advance! Dog and Cat CPR certification Sept 28 2025 I just love ALL animals!

I have a vehicle and clean driving record. I value keeping a comfortable, clean and safe home. I keep Treats, bowls, potty bags and toys on hand at all times. I am comfortable with animals on my sofa/ bed etc.
“Eryn was amazing watching my two cats while I was away. I would recommend Eryn in a heartbeat. She is kind and clearly loves all animals and wants nothing but the best for them. The communication was perfect while I was away and she sent me lots of pictures each visit. Thank you Eryn!! Sue, Rebel and Dizzy ☺️”
About: I have 5–6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I recently helped care for my husband’s family dog, Cooper, as he entered his senior years; adjusting to slower walks, joint issues, and a more relaxed routine. That experience taught me how important it is to meet each dog exactly where they’re at. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, basic grooming, playtime, and reinforcing simple training and good leash manners. I’m especially mindful of dogs who may be anxious, aging, or need a calmer approach. I work in the restaurant industry, which gives me a flexible schedule. Most days I don’t start until 4–5pm, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet during the day! Safety and trust are my top priorities. I pay close attention to behavior, environment, and routine to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure while in my care.
About: Based in North Van, I have had pets most of life, from energetic Labs & Rottis, to demanding Pomeranians, and even more demanding cats. I look forward to spending time with your family of pets. I do not have a car. I can take transit to meet your pets, but cannot transport them anywhere. Mornings, evenings & weekends are all ideal times to meet with you & your pets, and get to both their needs and yours as well. I am unable to care for pets in my location because I am currently in a no-pet apartment, but can look after them in your home, which will be less stressful on them.
About: We are a family of 2 adults and 2 kids that love being around animals. We have a young dog of our own, a 2 year old Labradoodle and will be boarding one or 2 dogs at a time depending on temperament. A must before proceeding with booking - we would like to do meet and greet every time before stay. In the past, we were parents to a Labrador Retriever for 12 years. We grew up with pets and farm animals around us and did dog walking for about a year, also volunteered for the BC SPCA in the past. Julia is working part time and Fred is self-employed so we are pretty flexible. We have a yard (unfenced) and live close to trails and parks to give your pet plenty of exercise. We are also familiar with senior animal care for pets that are slowing down. We are happy to board your pet in our home when you cannot bring them with you or take them out on daily walks. We live close to parks and trails. We spend a lot of time outdoors and are happy to play, run with your pets or take them for a swim to the beach. We go for 2-3 walks a day, either in the neighborhood, trails or dog park and give dogs plenty of pee breaks. Julia is working part-time and Fred has flexible schedule so pups are rarely alone. If your dog is okay to be left for 2-3 hours, we are happy to have them. We do a lot of pee breaks, familiar with canine body language as we worked with a trainer for our own dog in the past.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child. Got an English bulldog puppy in uni, trained him myself! I already help with walks and feeding a neighbour’s golden retriever and other friends pets when the need arises. I’m currently working from home ft for myself. Very flexible schedule, I have sports commitments a few evenings a week, but would only be away for a few hours. I am comfortable spending time with active or dogs that need more attention during the day. With long or short walks, and making sure they feel safe and loved.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in North Vancouver is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Vancouver
This was our first time using a drop-in visitor for our dog. We were a bit nervous about leaving keys with a sitter, but we went ahead with it based on Lyndsey's amazing reviews -- they were not wrong! She was super communicative, great to work with, and Koda seemed to love her visits. We would definitely recommend her, and she'll be our first call for when we need visits in the future.
On our initial meeting Stephanie was calm, personable, warm and professional. She immediately hit it off with Sunny, and he felt comfortable to go out walking with her right away. I definitely would schedule Stephanie again to walk and take care of my guy Sunny. 🐾❤️
Celic was so great!! She is so caring and responsive. I had 2 days I had to be away and couldn't check on Dolly. Celic sent pictures and let me know how she was doing. Gave her a walk and told me what a sweetheart Dolly is. I felt her to be responsible and lovely. I will definitely ask Celic to care for Dolly again. Thank you so much!
We are so grateful for Susan dropping in to relieve our puppy of a bathroom break, walk, and to provide some attention! Great communication, her presence is calming and approachable. Our little doxie can be nervous but already she has made a good friend in Susan :)

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a North Vancouver 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 North Vancouver 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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
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.
