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 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. Daycare Hours & Late Pick Up Policy My daycare drop off and pick up window is 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Late pick up fees apply: 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM: +$10 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM: +$20 Pickups after 9:00 PM, will incur a $25 late pickup fee per hour (or part of an hour). Pickups after 11:30 PM will be charged as an additional overnight stay. Please message me as soon as possible if you’re running late. This policy helps maintain fairness, consistency, and high quality care for every dog. By booking, you acknowledge and agree to these terms. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I am home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and quality one on one time. I plan my schedule around the pets I care for to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and never rushed. I provide a calm, clean, and structured environment in my apartment that is ideal for dogs who do best with individual attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and rest time. Safety is my top priority, and I maintain clear communication with owners so they feel confident and at ease while their pet is in my care.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable, experienced dog walker and sitter who truly loves caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I have hands-on experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors through caring for my own dog as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. I offer both private walks and smaller group walks (with or without my dog) and drop-in visits. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention and accommodate their unique routine—whether that means long walks, frequent potty breaks, playtime, or a calm, relaxed environment. I understand that every dog has different needs and energy levels, and I’m happy to tailor my care to match your dog’s lifestyle and preferences. As a devoted dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize safety, comfort, and positive experiences. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I currently have a remote job where I work from home with flexible hours, so I can accommodate your dog’s needs and your busy schedules. I have a pet friendly home with a little pug who would love to be your fur baby’s new friend! We have a large, unfenced backyard for your dog to play in, and plenty of indoor space for dogs to play on rainy days and gab a mid-day nap!

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.

About: You can tell you really care about your dog—it shows in the way you handle him so naturally, even at 100 pounds. You’ve got that balance of keeping him in check while still letting him enjoy himself, and that’s not easy. He looks comfortable, happy, and totally at ease by your side, which says a lot about the bond you’ve built. It feels less like you’re just walking a dog and more like you’re out there together, just enjoying the moment. I currently work from 7am-3pm from home so I am flexible! It works great in the afternoon and evenings. I am available 99% of the time! I take my dog out at least four times a day and we do long walks of at least 2km. I can do group walks or separate walks!

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 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.

About: Hey there! We're total pet lovers who are excited to help you feel at ease while you're away from your furry best friend. We've been dog sitting in owners' homes for a couple of years now, and we absolutely love it! It all started with looking after our friends' dogs, and it’s grown into a true passion for providing a loving, safe space for pups while their humans are away. We understand that every dog has their own unique personality and quirks, and we're always ready to adapt to your pooch's routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s playing fetch in the backyard, relaxing on the couch, or going for a run in the park, we’re up for it. And of course, we’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can see just how much fun we’re having together. We're a team—alongside me is my partner, Jacob, who shares the same deep love for dogs. He’s not just an ordinary dog lover—he’s also an experienced dog hiker. He knows all the best trails and hikes, so when he’s not hiking with his group, he’ll be excited to explore with your pooch too! When it comes to the practical stuff, we’re reliable, trustworthy, and always respectful of your home. You can count on us to keep things tidy and maintain your space just the way you left it. In short, we promise to treat your dog with all the love and care they deserve—and your home with the utmost respect. We can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! I'm currently working from home for a UK company. My hours are flexible, so can walk morning, afternoon, or both. Myself and my partner both finish work at 2pm, so your dog will not be short of attention throughout the day! All animals will be well looked after and I will respect the rules and instructions given by the owner. If your dog is crate trained, I am happy to keep up their usual routine.

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 pets all my life and love to spend time with them. I have plenty of experience caring for both cats and dogs and we currently have a cat (Cleo 3 years) and a Maltipoo (Jasper 5 years ). Both our pets are good with other dogs and cats and our dog loves having other dogs around. We have a fenced yard and go on plenty of walks. My goal for any pet we care for is for them to be as comfortable as possible, and are able to do at our home whatever they do at their own home. They will receive plenty of attention and love while with us. I am available in the evenings and weekends for drop-ins, and will play with and feed and water your fur baby, scoop poop, and whatever else is needed. We can also pet sit in our home and have a large fenced yard. Happy to come meet your pet(s) prior to me coming to look after them so I’m not a stranger who just shows up. I’m comfortable sticking to whatever routine your pet needs.

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - North Vancouver

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in North Vancouver on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 4,195 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in North Vancouver. About 85% 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.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available during your working hours. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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. 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 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.
