About: I’ve grown up with dogs and now share my life with Molly, our 4-year-old Golden Retriever. She’s calm and relaxed at home, but playful and full of energy on hikes. Molly is friendly and always happy to have dog buddies around. I’m a confident, calm, and compassionate caregiver who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I’m mostly available on evenings and weekends, but depending on the schedule and location, I’m happy to try to accommodate. Your dog will be treated like family here. My kids are gentle and experienced with dogs, and we live close to many great parks for walks, playtime, and ball-chasing fun. We’re also experienced with senior pet care and are happy to accommodate dogs who need a slower pace. Please note: Since we live in a condo, we need to ensure dogs don’t struggle with excessive barking or separation anxiety, out of respect for our neighbors. We require all dogs to be fully house-trained and to do their business outside—pee pads are not permitted. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup—Molly can’t wait to make a new friend! 🐾 We are happy to host longer stays, but during weekdays, dogs must be able to stay home alone for up to 6 hours (typically 9am–3pm). We live in a cozy 2-bedroom condo with a secure fenced balcony (2nd floor), where dogs are welcome throughout the home. We go for 2–3 walks a day—around the neighborhood, on trails, or at the dog park—and always make sure dogs have regular pee breaks.
About: Based in North Vancouver area! Looking to walk dogs on my free time or house sit/drop in if needed! I love dogs and definitely wish I could have a dog of my own but right now with my job I sadly can’t. Back home my family has a little pocket beagle named Charlie, he’s the sweetest lil guy. Prior experience walking two Australian Shepherds with rover and it went really well & occasionally will watch my friends dog and take for walks. I enjoy being outside as much as I can and no better way then to spend it with little fur babies! I work shift work, so it can depend and varies. By pretty flexible for the most part. Reach out and see if we can work out a schedule. You can trust me to take care of your pups as I would care of mine own. I truly am such an animal lover. Especially dogs!
About: I have taking care of animals since I can remember. Most of them dogs and cats but not just that. I had my loyal friend till she was 16 and I have voluntary in a farm taking care of the animals. Now i own a cat named Mango. 🥭 Im currently studying psychology. My dream is to combined my love for animals and my passion for psychology. Animals are very important to me, I will love to be able to get that serotonin from taking care of another pet. 💗 I can definitely take care of your lovely pet friend at your home any time! I respect all rules and follow all instructions that comes with taking care of someone else love one and home.🤗
“We were so happy with Veronika’s care of our two cats, Ollie and Tobie. She even took a picture of one of our cats (the other is so shy), and added litter to the iRobot. She was so kind and approachable. Our cats were well cared for, and we will definitely request Veronika to take care of our furry kids again!!”
“Rebecca was thoughtful and very loving towards our two fur babies. She made sure to play with them, keep them entertained, and kept us in the loop throughout the entire time. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“Felicia was awesome! My cats like my baby, so I’m always anxious when leaving him alone. She made me feel super at ease with letting me know when she stopped by each day and providing pics through the app. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’m an experienced dog and cat owner with a soft spot for pets with big personalities! At home, I have an active 3.5 year old aussie doodle and a 13 year old cat, so I’m very familiar with everything from energetic walks and playtime to giving senior pets a little extra patience and attention. I regularly walk my neighbour’s dog and have cared for friends’ pets while they’re away. While I’m newer to Rover, caring for other people’s pets isn’t new to me. I know how reassuring it is to have someone who pays attention to your pet’s individual routine, quirks, and personality rather than treating every pet the same. Whether your dog wants an adventure, a leisurely sniff-every-bush walk, or your cat just wants someone nearby while they supervise from their favourite chair, I’m happy to follow their lead. I work from home full time, so I have lots of flexibility to build pet care into my day. That means plenty of company, regular bathroom and play breaks, and walks that don’t have to be squeezed into a rushed morning or evening schedule. I can adapt my day around your pet’s normal routine, whether that means a midday walk, a little backyard break, playtime between meetings, or simply having someone nearby while they nap. I especially love getting outside, so I’m very happy to accommodate dogs who need a good walk and more than just a quick trip around the block. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I’ll always treat them with the same patience and attention I give my own pets. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, house rules, and any quirks or routines that help your pet feel comfortable. I’m attentive on walks and around other animals, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. Have had many rescues with issues unique to them love getting out walking with pets rain or shine. Cuddles or brushing or baths all are part of taking great care of a dog. My hours are completely open at this time. I would be fine with sitting in your home if you are away or daily walks and check ins. I’m not allowed pet care in my home so happy to come and sit at yours. I’m respectful, clean and tidy when in others homes.
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’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and had a rescue pug for 10 years. He sadly passed away in 2024 at 18 years old. I have dog sat for others in the past and volunteer at the BCSPCA looking after shelter dogs.I currently work full-time at a dog friendly hotel. I’m especially experienced and have a passion for pugs, frenchies & bulldogs. I work full time (currently a 3pm-11pm position) but maintained a good balance looking after my senior pug Milo on my own. I was able to make it home from work right away in the evenings to care for him. Dog's health, enrichment and well-being is a top priority. Healthy dog = happy life! I dog sit in the clients home as where I live in Vancouver is not pet friendly. I'm big on communication and getting to know the dogs routine and how the dog mom and/or dad wants things done. Trust is a huge factor. Without it, you don’t really have a solid foundation.
“Yinan kept our cat safe and healthy while we were away for 2 weeks. Our rescue cat is skittish, at first, and takes a few days to warm up to anyone, so we weren't sure how she would react with a cat sitter. Yinan was patient and gentle and took time to let Marjorie warm up to him. His gentle personality won her over and she couldn't get enough of him after a few days. Yinan is a reliable and thoughtful sitter and very communicative with lots of pics and videos. He was also great at taking in the mail and packages. Thanks, Yinan!”
About: Since a young age, I have been my neighbourhood pet-sitter. I grew up with cats and a wonderful border collie named Harley at home. I spent most of my childhood into adulthood at a barn riding horses, and have always been an animal lover. I'm a teacher who recently moved to North Van from Ontario with my fiancé. I am waiting for my teaching certification, so I am available all day! I treat every pet like family and closely monitor their behavior and body language. I am extremely detail-oriented with feeding schedules and medication. You will receive regular text and photo updates throughout the day so you always know your pet is safe, relaxed, and loved.
“Very communicative, and responsive to a last minute check in. Felt very relieved to have Alexandra come into my home to give my kitty his insulin injection. Highly recommend.”
About: !!Only available in Vancouver in November!! Zoe: Since my roommate moved in with me I am taking care of her family dog since they live nearby. He is a big (and cute) dog who needs long walks. As he is an older dog he requires a lot of attention. Christine: I have lived with a dog and a cat during my AuPair year in Australia. As the family was quite busy I took over the care for them. I kept up with their feeding schedule and went on many walks with the dog, Charlie (French Bulldog). I also spent very evening cuddling the cat Luna. I grew up having bunnies so I have learned how to responsibly take care of a pet and treat them with a lot of love. I always loved having pets around me. At the moment we are gaining experience with housesitting here in Vancouver, where we take care of dogs and cats while the owners are away. We are here on a Working Holiday Visa as apart of our studies back in Germany. We study Biology and English to become teachers. As we don’t have a job yet we are very flexible and have a lot of time, which we would love to spend with animals! We will treat every pet with a lot of care and attention. Part of why we study Biology is because we love animals so much.
About: I'm a lifelong dog lover from the UK currently traveling around Canada. I’ve had dogs in my home all my life and have spent the last 7 years dog sitting for a wide range of breeds from energetic dogs who need long, adventurous walks, to older dogs who just enjoy a gentle stroll and relaxing in the park. I’ve also trained my own dog and a friends so I’m comfortable reinforcing commands. Being around dogs is something i miss while traveling, so I’d love the chance to help care for yours as if they were my own. I’m not working so I will be able to follow any routine the dog or animal has. I love to go on long walks so will happily take the dog out for as long as you recommend I am constantly aware of the animals in my care and keep an eye on them whether it’s in the garden at the park or in the house. This also mean I will follow any rules that the owner has set out
“We booked Elizabeth for multiple drop-ins for our cat while we were out of town for a few days. The cat was well cared for, and everything worked out great. All-in-all, we’d be happy to utilize her services again for future trips, and I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone considering her as an option. One side-note: We have door cameras for security, so I can see people coming and going. I’ve booked other Rover sitters in the past, and was disappointed to find that some did not spend the full amount of time that they’d been booked for – in some cases spending as little as ten minutes out of 30. Happily, I can confirm that we got our full money’s worth from Elizabeth and I’m sure she will become our regular go-to cat sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of all different types of dogs and have been the biggest dog lover since I was young. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and I always prioritize safety, consistency and fun on every walk. You can count on my to treat your dog like my own and keep you updated along the way 😊 I’m currently working full-time but have my afternoons free after 4pm. After work I typically like to go for a long walk and can accommodate several dogs during this time. I give every pet the level of attention and care it needs. I work from home so I make sure I am always present for them.
About: I’ve grown up taking care of kittens and cats! I love being around any animals. I also have experience babysitting! And I feel comfortable taking care of others. I’m currently working as a freelance makeup and hair artist so my schedule is quite flexible! Let me know what you need and I’m sure we can work something out! I’m a clean organized individual, I have experience house sitting, cat sitting and babysitting! I love being around animals it feels like therapy for me so I would love the opportunity!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Vancouver
As per usual Michelle was awesome! She loves hanging out with my sleepy pups and spending 1:1 time with them. She’s great at communicating and is sooo happy meeting my dogs where they’re at (which is usually very lazy and very velcro-y). She was also incredibly flexible about changing the service start time the day of the booking to fit our needs :) so happy to have found her & I’ll definitely be a regular user of her services! Thanks again
Amy was great! She checked in on our boys while we were out and about. She sent updates and photos, it was clear that Elio and Nano adores her! Amy took the boys out on a walk and played with them a bit during her drop in visit. It was exactly what Elio and Nano needed
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with MiJung. From the very beginning, she completely exceeded our expectations, and we felt incredibly comfortable knowing that our little guys, Quatro and Napoleon, were in such caring and capable hands. MiJung is an excellent communicator, very attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. She kept us updated throughout the entire time, sent us plenty of photos, told us about their walks and routes, played with them, and always made sure we knew how they were doing. Being away from them is never easy, so having that level of communication and seeing them happy and well cared for gave us so much peace of mind. What impressed us the most was how proactive she was. She didn’t simply follow instructions; she paid attention to what Quattro and Napoleon needed and was always thinking one step ahead. She even offered things she already had available, such as harnesses, and consistently went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, safe, and happy. You can really tell when someone genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, and that was absolutely the case with MiJung. We came back to two very happy little guys, and that says everything. We are extremely grateful for the care, attention, communication, and love she gave Cuatro and Napoleon. We would recommend MiJung without hesitation, and she will definitely be the first person we reach out to the next time we need someone to take care of them. Thank you so much, MiJung, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!
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. 🐾❤️

FAQs for Dog Sitting - North Vancouver
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in North Vancouver is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $43 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.
There are 4,231 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in North Vancouver. About 84% of North Vancouver 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.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
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.
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. 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.
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.
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.
