“Han did a fantastic job looking after our two cats. You can tell that great care and cleanliness is always a priority along with communication. My wife and I felt relaxed knowing Han was looking after their needs. Would highly recommend.”
About: I grew up on an acreage so very familiar with pets and all things involved. It taught me to care for them well and love them dearly. I work for a non profit during the day so I have tons of time in the morning and evening to care for your pets. I also have weekends and good time off. Safety is a top priority by being diligent and aware of the house. I am accountable and responsible and aim to make the environment fun, safe and comfortable.
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: Staying in North Vancouver your dog will be totally spoiled by the incredible trails this location has to offer! I live in an apartment with a balcony, but have the flexibility to be able to take your poochini out whenever they need to go. Although I will be the primary caretaker, I live with my husband who is around and working from home most of the week as well, so your pet will never be left alone. We're incredibly active and love dogs of all shapes and sizes. We take our own pup out for about 3 hours a day on off leash walks and runs. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out :) I tend to be most available at weekends for daycare and boarding, but am sometimes open to booking through the week, so if my calendar is showing as unavailable, let me know your dates and I’ll see if I can make it work! We take our own pup, Callie out about 4 times a day. She is very friendly and playful with other dogs and doesn’t get jealous or resource guard. She’ll happily share her toys and treats.
“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: Longtime cat caregiver experienced in both kitten and senior cat care. I like dogs too, of course, but cats are magical weirdos and I love them. I currently work from home, so I’m very flexible with my schedule, I have two cats at home that attend all my meetings. Do your pets like video calls? I will keep indoor pets in and defer to you for any instructions for being outdoors. Can we hit the trail or do we need to stay urban? You let me know!
“Keilana was amazing to work with and went above and beyond expectations, very easy to communicate with and my cats enjoyed her company and where well taken care of, would highly recommend”
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
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 have 10 years of professional experience caring for dogs in a busy daycare and boarding environment. I’ve cared for 35–40 dogs daily, with a strong focus on safety, supervision, behavior, and making sure every dog feels comfortable and well cared for. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, personalities, and energy levels, including dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’ve also handled boarding, feeding, cleaning, daily routines, client communication, and behavior management. My goal is always to provide the same level of care and attention I would want for my own dog. Pet care is a natural part of my routine, and I’m able to provide reliable and attentive care around my schedule. I’m comfortable with walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and boarding, depending on the service and your pet’s needs. I’m committed to being dependable, punctual, and keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. With 10 years of professional dog-care experience, safety is always my top priority. I’m experienced supervising multiple dogs, managing different personalities and energy levels, recognizing stress or behavioral concerns, and maintaining safe routines. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet’s environment clean and secure, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Taryn! There’s truly nothing better in life than dogs, and I can’t wait to meet yours! Last year I lost my beloved senior cattle dog Caroline to cancer, which left a very big dog-shaped hole in my heart. She was my constant companion-- I raised her from a puppy and even taught her how to fetch a beer from the fridge (and close the door!). Because of her, I have an abundance of love, patience, and attention to share with every dog I care for. I have experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities, including positive reinforcement and clicker training, and senior and special-needs care. Pet sitting and dog walking was actually my very first job, and I’ve spent my life caring for animals of all kinds. Building trust with pets and making them feel safe and happy is something I take great pride in. Senior dogs hold a very special place in my heart. Supporting our best friends through their golden years and making sure they feel comfortable, understood, and loved is incredibly meaningful to me. I’m also trained in First Aid for Cats and Dogs and have worked in healthcare for many years, so you can feel confident that your pet will always be safe, attentive, and very well cared for in my hands. I treat every pet like family and will make sure they receive the same love, patience, and care that I gave my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! I am currently taking a break from my healthcare job so I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time during the day to give your pup the attention, companionship, and exercise they need. I’m a bit of a homebody at heart, but I also love spending time outdoors, so whether your dog prefers relaxing company or getting out for a good walk, I’m always happy to accommodate their needs. I live in a quiet apartment in Strathcona, where I’m the only resident. While I don’t have a patio or yard, my neighbourhood is full of peaceful, walkable streets and I’m just a few blocks away from several beautiful green spaces—perfect for regular walks and outdoor time. My home is calm, clean, and comfortable, and I always aim to create a relaxing environment where your dog can feel safe, at ease, and right at home.
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 always loved dogs and have been around them for as long as I can remember! Whether that be my neighbors dog, my grandparent’s dogs or my friends, I always love to play, walk, and try to teach them tricks. I just recently dog sat my best friends dog for 3 weeks when she went on vacation so I’m familiar with having a set routine on when to walk, feed, clean and care for a dog. **I put 1 year pet experience because as much as I’ve been surrounded by animals (dogs, cats, bunnies), I’d like to start counting real pet care experience through Rover:) ** I just quit my job so I have all the time in the world to get to know your dog, play with them, and take care of them! I’m available anytime with at least a day heads up! I live in a fenced home and a backyard and my landlord upstairs has their own dog! If it’s your home, I’ll make sure to respect your home and have the appropriate boundaries to take care of your dog, only doing things if it’s purpose is for your dog.

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.
