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: In 2024/5 we spent over 7 months sitting dogs in the UK and Europe through TrustedHousesitters. On that platform, our reviews are all 5-star and every pet owner has offered for us to return, which we have done in 67% of households. Our sits have ranged from 10 days to 3 months, which has been enough time to really bond with each animal. Even dogs that were initially aggressive or reactive loved us by the end of our time together. We are active and have good manners with new dogs. We will keep your dog engaged and well looked after. I work remotely and live with my wife while she finishes her degree. My schedule is flexible and I am available to care for your dog around the clock. I have a guaranteed meeting from 9:30 to 10:00, and then my day is typically my own to schedule, barring other irregular work meetings throughout the week. Note: We do not do 1 day sits unless it is for a repeat customers. We prefer longer term sits. I will play with your dog and show them plenty of affection. We are stern when it comes to rules and will maintain clear boundaries. Your training will not be undone by us. We are clean and quiet and attentive.
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.
About: Hello, I’ve loved dogs since I was 12 and had my first pup! Super friendly, reliable, and ready to give your furry buddy lots of love and care. I work in HR at a health authority, and my partner is a marine engineer. We can have plenty of fun walks and doggy cuddles! We’re an active couple who love walking and hiking, and our apartment is just a five-minute walk from several beautiful parks. After dinner and on weekends, we often explore Seylynn Park, Bridgeman Park, and Lynn Canyon Park. We’d be delighted to have your dog join us on our adventures! We’re committed to providing a safe, loving, and enjoyable experience for your dog. We care for pets like family—walks, playtime, meals, and cuddles in our 2-bedrooms fenced apartment. I follow routines and make sure they feel safe and loved, and will send you a lot of videos and pictures.
“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.”
About: With a lifetime of experience around animals, I offer dedicated and loving pet-sitting services. My priority is your pet's happiness and well-being, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away! In September, I’ll return to work Monday–Friday until 3 PM, but I’ll still be available for evening walks, drop-ins, and house-sitting. I am available on weekends too. I love spending my free time outdoors, going on long walks, and I’m always happy to have a furry companion join me. I make sure they are getting consistent bathroom breaks, meals, daily walks, cuddles, and will make sure they are given lots of love and attention!
About: I have an undergraduate degree in animal biology, am certified in animal CPR, and have a diploma in animal health technology. I currently work as a Registered Veterinary Technologist at a local veterinary clinic. I've worked with all kinds of species over the last decade, and have a senior dog and cat myself. I have experience working with reactive dogs. If your dog would benefit from a friend, I can bring my senior dog along for the dog walk or leave her at home depending on your comfort level! I work full time in animal health but have open availability Friday-sundays. I am free to check in or exercise your pets over those days. I am also happy to take your dog along for one of my runs! I am unable to bring your pet to my own home as I have a senior cat who enjoys her space. I am willing to come to your home to interact with your pets and/or take them outdoors for play time or walks.
About: Hi there, my name is Cassidy and I am a childcare professional looking for extra work. I am an animal lover and my family and I owned and loved a cocker spaniel for 10 years. I have also cared for my partners family dogs who have sadly passed this year. I currently have two really sweet cats but my apartment doesn’t allow dogs, and I’d love to walk yours so I can make some new dog friends! I have spent the past 8 years walking and taking care of a few friends and neighbours dogs and have lots of knowledge of care for them. I really hope you choose me to care for your best friend and I really look forward to meeting your dogs! Thank you. I work split shifts 7:30-10 and 3-6, 3 days a week, so I am very flexible and can take care of animals mid day or in the evening I have had plenty of experience caring for dogs and cats, I walked my mother in-laws dogs weekly when needed for over a year, and had a family dog growing up that I loved dearly. I’ve had over 14 years of experience walking dogs, starting when I was 12 and began walking an elderly dog in my neighbourhood.
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 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
“Yinan has watched our cat via 30 min drop in visits twice now and we couldn't be happier with his calm energy and patience. Our "scaredy cat" with past trauma took to him immediately and rather than hiding, like with some other sitters, approaches him for pets, rolling on the floor for belly rubs. This blew our mind! He is always on time and keeps in good communication while also sending lots of great photos!”
“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”
“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: 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: !!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.
“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.”
“Yuriy did an excellent job with drop-in visits for my two cats and feeding my fish. He was very responsive and easy to communicate with, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. Everything was well cared for when I returned, and it was clear the pets were in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Yuriy again and would happily recommend him to others.”
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.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in North Vancouver is $25

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.
