“Alice went above and beyond to make my first Rover experience a great one. She was patient, very kind, and amazing to our kitten! I will definitely be booking her again in the near future.”

About: I've been a pet owner most of my life. After my 13-year-old dog passed last year, I missed having animals. Pet sitting is the next best solution for me at this time. I'd be happy to discuss how I might be able to help you step away and take a break while I provide your furry family member with an abundance of snuggles and care. I work remotely, which provides me with a flexible schedule. I'm an active person who enjoys getting outside regularly. I'm happy to walk your dog as many times as you would like. When pets are in my care, they are my number one responsibility. I believe it's best to keep the routine that your pet is already familiar with. That said, I meet with my client and understand the unique care plan for their pet. My schedule is flexible and can easily adjust based on the care plan for each home.
About: I’ve been a dog owner and foster parent for over 8 years, with hands-on experience raising and caring for high-energy and strong-willed breeds. I raised my Shiba Inu from puppyhood and later fostered a Husky–Malinois cross for two years in the UK. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and focus on calm, structured walks that are safe, engaging, and tailored to each dog’s needs. Happy to do a short meet-and-greet before the first walk. I specialise in evening walks on weekdays after 6pm, which works well for owners with long workdays. On weekends, I’m available for morning and evening walks, with some midday flexibility depending on scheduling. Safety is always my priority. I make sure dogs are securely leashed, closely supervised, and returned home settled and safe after each walk. I’m respectful of both pets and their homes and follow all owner instructions carefully.
About: I’ve taken care of, and have had multiple different animals, including senior dogs, in my life since I was 11 years old. I’ve fed, bathed, and walked many pets. I love animals and I know I would love your pet! I am a part time worker and student, so I can be flexible with hours and availability! My available days change weekly based on my work schedule, but it is very easy to fit into my schedule! I am willing to go above and beyond with your pets needs! I love to take care of pets in their homes where they feel comfortable.
“5 star all around! Was super happy with the care and attention for my cat. They gave detailed daily check ins and made sure she was happy as could be while I was away. Thank you so much again and I would highly recommend for your sitter needs. 🩷”
About: I have experience caring for pets at every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior companions, and understand their unique needs. Whether it's providing extra care for seniors or simply offering loving companionship, I ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved. What sets me apart is my deep empathy and understanding of the bond pets share with their owners, having been through the full journey with my own pets—from puppyhood to saying goodbye to a beloved senior. You can trust me to provide the thoughtful, compassionate care your pet deserves. I’m currently working a casual job, which gives me the flexibility to spend quality time with your pets. I can offer attentive care throughout the day, ensuring your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. In your home, I prioritize creating a safe and familiar environment for your pet, following your routines to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll follow all your instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, exercise, or any special care your pet needs. I make sure to keep their space safe, with all potential hazards managed, and offer lots of attention and companionship. My goal is to provide peace of mind for you, knowing your pet is in a trusted and caring environment while you're away.
“Always happy to have BH take care of Meeka, very fast to respond so I was able to make arrangements last minute for her to come take Meeka out for a walk during the day while I was away.”
“Jocelynne did drop in visits to take care of our care recently. She was always very communicative and sent photo updates. Our cat got lots of love and cuddles from her while we were away ☺️ would definitely recommend Jocelynne to anyone!”
About: I've raised my dog since he was a puppy and have learned a lot along the way!~ I treat every dog like my own, and provide the right structure and leadership for an enjoyable and productive walk. I work odd hours so I can be flexible during the day and evening. I love to walk and am outside as much as I can be. Getting to know your dog and their needs is my top priority. Its important to build trust and a relationship so that your dog is happy on our walk. I'm good at communicating to you and above all, listening to how you need your dog taken care of.
About: Raised by a family with pet dogs, now ruled by a pet cat! With a keen eye for animal safety, a gentle approach, and experience with all ages and energy levels, I’m ready to care for your furry friend! As a teacher with summers off, I have plenty of free time and flexibility to give your pet the attention and care they need throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether it's going for walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I’ll follow your instructions closely to keep your pet comfortable and safe in their familiar environment. I’ll maintain their usual routines—feeding, playtime, exercise, and any special needs—while providing lots of attention and companionship to help them feel relaxed and happy while you’re away.
“Veronika was excellent with our kitten Eva and provided regular updates and photos. Knowing Eva was in good care we were able to enjoy our vacation. We will use Veronika again the next time and recommend her to others. Thank you Veronika!”
About: Hello, like many of you, my dog was my world. My devotion to him was unmatched. I have provided him with the absolute best care possible since he was a puppy, and more than ever as a senior, at 17, and using a wheelchair. Despite his handicap, was always full of life and happy as ever. I made sure of this. With that being said I have plenty of experience in taking good care of a dog at any age. I am also well used to handling various temperaments and behavior, such as reactivity. Rest assured that your fur baby will be treated just as mine would. Whether it’s on walks or at home, I can provide them whatever care they need with an extra touch of love! I work a 4 on 4 off schedule. I would love to be of any help to someone and their fur baby when I can. If visiting your home, rest assured all instructions will be followed precisely and your pets will be provided everything they need. I can be available for short or long visits!

I always check the surroundings first to prevent "door-darting" and ensure all doors and windows remain securely locked during my visit. Hazard-Free Environment: Cats are naturally curious. During each visit, I do a quick sweep to make sure no dangerous items (like loose strings, toxic plants, or human food) are left within their reach. Respect & Trust: I deeply respect your privacy and space. I will only access the areas of your home that we agreed upon, and I treat your property with the utmost care and cleanliness. Clear, Transparent Communication: You will receive regular check-ins, exact arrival/departure updates, and plenty of photos and videos so you always know your fur babies—and your home—are in safe, reliable hands.

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.

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.

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.
