“Marina was so wonderful with our beloved Disco! She sent us regular updates whilst we travelled of a very happy hound! She’s very kind and trustworthy and I would recommend her to dog sit any time.”
“Xinhong (Amanda) is an exceptional cat sitter. We were quite stressed when we couldn't find anyone to care for our cats at the last minute, but we were fortunate to find her. She is an excellent and exemplary cat sitter. She meticulously follows all instructions provided and is very attentive to details, including the cats' eating, drinking, bowel habits, and overall behaviors. She regularly sends photos and updates, which brings great peace of mind to the owners. I would highly recommend her without any reservations. My only concern is that she will likely become very popular very soon, making it difficult to book her for our next absence.”
“We cannot recommend Hayley and Jacob more highly! They stayed at our place over a long weekend where we had to leave our aging Henderson behind. They went above and beyond to make Hendo comfortable and give us peace of mind. They were extremely communicative, warm, and caring. We feel quite lucky to have connected with them. Great folks, industry professionals!”
“Eric and Louisa did an amazing job taking care of our energetic kitty, and were very clean and considerate house guests. They went above and beyond. We would definitely hire them again!”
“Samantha was great with Mollo! She understood his senior needs and was so loving with him. He had his food, walks and pills and when I came back home I found a happy boy. Samantha was very communicative while I was away providing updates. I would definitely leave him with her again :)”
“This was our first time using rover to have someone stay at our home to care for our pets. We came back to our house after a 10 day trip to not only our pets but our home cared for. Debbie sent updates everyday and was super communicative. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Our dog Rex loved Pavlina. She took him on lots of fun walks and he seemed happy at all times. We received updates and pictures of her stay with Rex. We would hire her again!! Pavlina left the house very clean and organized! We really appreciated her house/dog-sitting.”
“Willow had such a wonderful time! She was taken for walks every day and had lots of attention :) I received lovely photos of Willow and she always looked so happy and like she was on holiday too! Thank you Harjeet for looking after our fur baby so well !”
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.
“Thank you for being so wonderful as always with Oswald. He adores you and Daphne loves a little affection too. Appreciate the updates and keeping me in mind while I was doing a day trip for work. 10/10 recommend :)”
“Anna is an absolute gem. She took wonderful care of our 2 senior, high maintenance dachshunds for 2 weeks and was consistently reliable and respectful of our home and affectionate, patient and loving with our dogs. We would highly recommend her and would hire her again.”
“Ivan and Niamh took excellent care of our dogs and home while we were away. We received updates on their feeding, walks and plays. We’ve even had neighbors comment on how much fun the dogs seemed to have with them. I highly recommend Ivan and Niamh and will also be happy to book them again.”
“We drove to Vancouver from Kelowna for one night to attend a concert. Jay was an absolute delight! She watched them in our hotel for a few hours. She was on time and immediately made a connection with our 2 little French Bulldogs puppies, Leo and Luna. She took them out for potty breaks and sent me updates and pictures during the time we were gone. I would recommend Jay to anyone! Great communication before hand made for a seamless experience. Jay is a natural with pets. We will definitely be booking her again the next time we return to Vancouver. Thank you so much Jay! We appreciate you so much 💜”
“Heather took excellent care of our rescue dog Freya as well as our 2 cats while we were away on vacation for 2 weeks. We spent 2 months getting to know Heather before we left which helped set our anxious dog up for success. What a great fit - I could tell from our daily updates and photos that our pets were doing very well and we came home to a clean home and happy pets. I will be reaching out to Heather first next time we go away, this was a wonderful experience!”
“Megan did a great job with River, my 14 month old Golden Retriever, whom she had overnight in my home. She has great communication, sent me lots of pics of my joyous dog, and left my home just as she found it. Upon my return, River was very happy and clearly had had no anxiety around my absence.”
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.
“Jaime was a dream dog sitter! Our pup was very well cared for with daily walks, morning updates, and thoughtful care and consideration. She was uncharacteristically up in the night a few nights and Jaimie was kind and understanding. Communication while we were away was very responsive and thorough. Our dog is reactive, and sticking to the plan sets her up for success, Jaime was totally understanding of this and expressed they had no issues ☺️. Our pup was happy to see us and our home is sparkling. Would definitely recommend Jaime!”
“Glenda is a very sweet and kind person who truly earned the affection of our cat, Israel, who is usually quite shy around people he doesn't know. We would definitely leave Israel in Glenda’s care again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in North Vancouver is $55

Harsh did a great job taking care of our geriatric dog overnights in our home. Our dog now requires medication 3x a day and special attention to make sure he's eating, and Harsh has always had a knack for getting our dog to eat even though he's usually stressed with our departure. We really appreciate the questions, the updates, the commitment to care - thank you, Harsh!
We’ve been too afraid to leave our cats with a sitter due to previous bad experiences with recommended sitters in the past. We decided to give Rover a try and Hannah was the first person we reached out to based on her reviews. We arranged a meeting with her at our place and were very pleased at her preparation of thoughtful questions and how one of our two cats took an immediate shine to her. We were impressed and booked Hannah while we took a short 4 day getaway. Our cats have requirements for pill form meds and an inhaler for asthma. Hannah handled all their medical needs while we were away and we came home to healthy cats. We received lots of photos of her playing the kitties and her cuddling with the less shy one. The house was neat and tidy. We highly recommend Hannah as a pet sitter and Will certainly use her again. Han: thanks for giving us our first trip away from our cats since 2018!
Pham (aka Jolie) was absolutely lovely and took great care of my cat and my place. I received regular updates which I greatly appreciated. She gave my cat space to approach her, letting her warm up as she got comfortable. My cat doesn’t always warm up to her sitters, so I was thrilled to hear that Minou was sleeping with Jolie within a couple of days. I will absolutely have her back!
We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Heather! Our fur babies were so well cared for, and she kept our home spotless while we were away - and even washed the sheets so I’d have less to do upon returning home. Her communication and attention to detail were top-notch, and we highly recommend her. Thank you, Heather!
Stephanie provided excellent care for Leo our Golden Retriever, Mona and Lisa our two cats and two large aquariums of freshwater tropical fish while staying in our house during our 27-day holiday. We were kept up-to-date on the happenings with everyone, even though our access to Internet while travelling was not always available. Stephanie was great at following the instructions provided for Leo, Mona and Lisa and the fish and aquariums--which included some weekly filter maintenance. Stephanie was able to adapt to Leo’s high energy during on-leash walks and convince our more anxious cat, Lisa, that it was safe to cuddle up. Mona, our other cat, took less than a minute to adopt Stephanie’s lap. We would certainly call upon Stephanie again to house sit all of our pets.
Wow. Hayley & Jacob took such beautiful care of our young dogs - Bruce (a two year old min pin) and Nico (a six month old Rottie) - and our home. They are so kind & wonderful with animals. The pups felt safe and happy with them immediately at their meet & greet. Everything was perfect. Communication was excellent with photo’s and videos. We missed Bruce’s birthday and they celebrated it with him and Nico. Our home was so peaceful when we came home & the pups were so relaxed and happy. Cannot recommend this team enough!
Marina did a great job of looking after our Ridgeback. She took the time to get to know him before we went away & he was very comfortable with her. She is an experienced dog owner & was very professional. She kept us updated with photos & videos of their daily walks. We returned to a house that was clean & tidy. We would highly recommend Marina & will certainly use her again.
We were so lucky to have found Deborah. She stayed with our high maintenance golden retriever for three weeks. She took excellent care of our dog, plants and home. Every day she sent us photos that clearly showed how happy he was and all the fun that they had had together. We strongly recommend Deborah.
Rachel was wonderful as always. She accepted a very last minute request to dogsit our new puppy. She played and practiced basic commands with Hazel and gave lovely feedback. Her genuine kindness and love for animals shines through. She cares about your pets as she would her own. She truly loves looking after your furry friends. Thanks so much Rachel!
June is a reliable and calm sitter. This was a last minute booking and she was flexible to work with our travel plans. She house sat our shy cats and was able to befriend them fairly quick. June replied to our messages promptly and provided updates. We came back to a clean and tidy home! Would highly recommend and book again.
This was our second time working with Lyndsey and the first time we had her house sit. She is really great to work with and we would absolutely have her stay with are dog again. We came home to a very happy pup and well cared for apartment. Lyndsey was super communicative throughout our trip with great photos and updates. 10/10 would recommend!
I have a very nervous kitty who gets bad separation anxiety and often hides and stops eating while I'm away. It was amazing to get pics and see him eating and socializing with Janea. She is great with anxious cats used to a quiet environment & sent regular updates. The place was also tidying to come home to. Thanks Janea!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in North Vancouver maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred North Vancouver walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
