“Graciela and Sarah were amazing with my dog Lucy! I got regular updates and photos throughout the day, and she settled in quickly to their loving home. You can instantly tell how much they love animals and it was easy to trust them with my girl! Lucy got lots of walks and so much love! I highly recommend them!”

“Cooper had a great time with Claudia! She updated me throughout the day with pictures. He had a recent dental surgery so she was able to manage that for me too. He got to go to the park and got lots of outside time. He came home nice and tired!”
“Alejandre and Miguel did such a wonderful job caring for my 11 week old Bernese Mountain Dog puppy. Alejandre communicated clearly and consistently when I had questions before and during his stay with them. She showed a lot of care around making sure they were well-matched on that day for his particular needs. On the day, she met me outside, showed care around all the instructions, and also checked in on my desire for communication throughout the day. They were also flexible on my return time since I wasn’t exactly sure. Afterwards, they met me outside and debriefed the day. I could see my pup was happy and comfortable with them, and I look forward to sending him back!”
“Sunny was absolutely wonderful! She looked after my little rescue chihuahua, Brookie, who can be very nervous in new environments. Normally, he has a few anxious little accidents when he’s somewhere unfamiliar but to our amazement, in the three days he stayed with Sunny, he didn’t have a single one! By the second day, he was so comfortable that he couldn’t wait to go inside her home and ran right in as soon as she opened the door. Thank you so much, Sunny, we’ll definitely be leaving Brookie with you again whenever we need someone to care for him! 🐾💛”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Amber. Jennifer and David took such wonderful care of her and kept us updated with regular check-ins, which we really appreciated. It meant so much to know Amber felt comfortable enough to be herself. They treated her like family, and Ruby is an absolute sweetheart. We highly recommend Jennifer and David and will definitely be booking again in the future. 🐶✨”
“Ivan & Niamh were so very lovely, patient, and kind with my anxious and quirky pup Loki! We had an in depth meet n greet before his first stay, where they spent time getting to know Loki, it was abundantly clear that they both genuinely cared about his experience staying with them! Loki spent the day with them and had an amazing time - he came home tired ( = happy) and relaxed. Won’t hesitate to recommend them both and will 1000% be requesting their help taking care of my boy again in the future!! Thank you guys so much!”
“Angela provided excellent comfort and care for Tater. The extra walks for a short stay were great and Angela’s calm demeanour was so good for Tater. We will be back!”
“Amazing experience with Lara, 10/10! She will be my lower lonsdale go to from now on :) She was awesome with my quirky dog, and flexible on meeting up beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. Thank you so much Lara!”

She came home each day totally zonked from lovely long walks, and I really appreciated the pupdates and photos of her adventures with you. Thank you so much for the great care you provided my pup, and I'll def be booking again!”
“We were visiting from Ontario and needed someone to watch our dog Milo for a day. Lisa was super quick to accept and was very responsive. Milo had a fabulous day with her, her dog, and the other dogs. Lisa sent photos and videos throughout the day which was fantastic. Thank you Lisa for taking such good care of our little Milo and giving him a blast of a day!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Manada! She took amazing care of our dog, Mocha, and we could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well loved during his stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Manada was kind, reliable, and kept us updated, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely trust her with Mocha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible dog sitter. Thank you, Manada, for taking such great care of our little boy!”
“Setayesh did an absolutely amazing job as my dog sitter! I couldn’t have been happier leaving my 7 month old puppy, Leo, in her care. She went above and beyond to ensure Leo was safe, happy, and comfortable throughout the entire time. What truly stood out was how frequently she updated me with photos and videos of Leo, which was so reassuring. It was clear that Leo was in great hands and having a wonderful time. Her attention to detail, care, and love for animals shone through in everything she did. Knowing that Leo was being well taken care of gave me complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Setayesh to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. Thank you, Setayesh, for taking such great care of my pup! 🐾😊 Certainly will see you again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Vancouver
Ana took such great care of my Panda & despite being a fairly attached and anxious dog, she who was so happy to be part of the pack with Bamboo & Panda. Ana was extremely attentive, communicative, and I knew my pup was in great hands, and enjoyed the large yard to run & play. I would highly recommend Ana as a pet sitter!
Wendy was amazing! She took such good care of my Olive. She was very responsive and I loved the photo updates throughout the day. My dog is a bit more introverted and she sometimes gets overwhelmed at people’s homes. She didn’t want to leave when it was time to go home :) that was a great sign! We’ll definitely be booking again!
Amazing sitter! My puppy truly seemed to enjoy his stay at Erika’s place. I could tell that the whole family genuinely cared about him by accommodating his needs and even helping with my last-minute arrangement. Thank you so much, Erika, Diego, and Antonella, for taking such great care of Timmy and making him feel so loved and comfortable! We really appreciate it.
He was always in time to pick Bella. Very understandable and caring towards my pet. Bella loved him and his wife. Ever in future if i had to leave bella again i will surely leave with him. He was careful and followed all the instructions that i provided. It was amazing stay for Bella
Alex was so great! He took such great care of my pup. He was always on time if not early. He gave lots of updates throughout the day and I was never worried once about Max while he was in his care. 10/10 would and will recommend to anyone in North Vancouver and will rebook if I’m ever back in town and need again!
Graciela and Sarah-Marie did great with our 1 year old pup Marshall! They were very responsive and sent a lot of updates and photos of his time during day care. And although Marshall has a higher energy level, it was nice for him to have a friend with their cute pug!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in North Vancouver on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 2,303 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in North Vancouver. About 88% 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.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your North Vancouver commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in BC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
