“This is a VERY long overdue review for Billie. I had the great pleasure of having Billie housesit for my senior dog and cat over the holiday last December. Billie was incredible, my dog ended up having a severe hot spot right before I left that needed topical and oral medication and Billie was able to step right in and provide amazing care for a very long trip. Billie went above and beyond, providing many updates which made me feel very reassured and secure. The highest recommendation!!! Thank you so much again Billie, forever grateful! -- Tahlia”
“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 Louise (aka Hannah) were wonderful! Their communication was great and they clearly both love animals. I am so grateful they were able to help me out when my dog sitter backed out last minute. They left my place spotless and both of my dogs tired and happy. I will definitely book with them again.”
“Cairo (my cat) is gregarious and loves the company of people. I felt at ease knowing Hannah was caring for my cat while I was away. My home was clean and tidy when I returned. I will definitely ask Hannah to care for Cairo again.”
“Sophie was excellent and took such great care of our pup and had daily updates with loads of photos. (Which we LOVED) Would love to have her look after Oscar again in the future! Highly recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog sitter living in Mount Pleasant. I’ve also grown up with lots of different sizes and shapes of fur friends, from King Charles Spaniels to Greyhounds. My current home isn’t pet-friendly, so I love to housesit and meet as many cats and dogs as I can! Over the past few years, I’ve watched pets with lots of different anxieties and my parents dog is currently deaf, so I have a lot of experience giving medication and am familiar with special diets as well. I love energetic and lazy pets all the same, and I’m very comfy taking them for all the walks they need as well as keeping them company while they miss their owners. I know it’s hard to trust someone with your family! Please feel free to ask me any questions. I work mainly from home and am flexible with going into the office, and I love to go for walks! I also live alone and have minimal personal responsibilities so I’m usually available for short or long-term stays, and don’t mind short notice when necessary. I’m happy to stay in your pets safe space and keep their routines, including medication and walk schedules. You can trust me to care for your home as well while you’re away, as I like to keep things tidy and water plants. I’m also comfortable with light grooming and checking mail, whatever is needed while you’re away.
About: I see every pet that comes into my care as one of my own. Growing up my whole life with pets has instilled a love for all furry friends and I am dedicated to providing your pet with the safest and most caring environment possible. I love going on walks, no matter the weather, and would provide your pets with an enjoyable adventure through the neighbourhood. I have a soft spot in my heart for all animals and I love spending time with your pets each day. My roommates are supportive and caring and love animals just as much as me. Our home is safe and spacious and we love the extra company that your adorable pets bring us. For all animal lovers, aren't we all puppies at heart?
“Tereza is my dog's new favourite person! She is so sweet and kind and is very experienced handling a large leash-pulling dog. For my high-energy husky, Tereza's calm and relaxed energy was perfect and soothing. She made me feel so confident and I knew my dog was in great care. She's very quick to respond and an overall very reliable and responsible person. I highly recommend Tereza!”
“Isobel was lovely and took really great care of our dog for the day. My dog can be anxious and reactive and Isobel knew how to manage her in a way that felt comfortable and safe. My dog seemed to love her and felt so calm around her. Isobel also made sure to keep us calm and sent cute pictures 😊 This dog sitting turn out to be much less convenient for Isobel than intended, and I know she went through a lot of trouble to keep the booking and not cancel on us. This really shows how reliable she is and we appreciate it! Thank you so much! Would definitely book 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 :)”
“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.”
“Iman was great! He took great care of Rocco while we were away. They went on lots of walks and spent time working on and learning new tricks. Communication was great and Iman sent us daily photos and videos of Rocco while we were gone.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own sweet dog for the last eight years, and my friends and families pets periodically for the last four years - I’ve loved animals for my whole life! I’m currently a care taker for my father at the general hospital, so I go to the hospital often with him (2-4ish hours a few times a week), but other than that I have complete availability for you and your pooch. Inviting me to your home to take care of your pet is quite the honour, and I’ll follow whatever rules and expectations you have for me as I look after your pet.
“Coranne was amazing with our two Australian Shepherd’s! She kept them well exercised and entertained as well as sending us daily updates when we were missing them! The dogs loved her so much they cried when she left!!!! She also kept our place very clean and tidy. We would 1000% recommend her to look after your pets and we will definitely be using her services again. Thank you for everything Coranne you are the best!”

“Anna & Vlad took care of our 2 miniature dachshunds recently for a week and did a fantastic job. They were well taken care of, kept comfortable and content in our home and cuddled every day. Anna provides informative daily updates including photos and was diligent in understanding routines and schedules so they could be maintained.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Vancouver
Pham was amazing with my sassy doggo named Pumpkin, this was my first time using Rover and I was very hesitant and anxious to leave my baby in a new environment with a new person as we were visiting Vancouver. She made feel more calm about leaving Pumpkin and I immediately trusted her with my precious baby while I went to watch a concert. From the start, she was super communicative and you can tell how much she loves animals. She kept my anxious dog as calm as she could while I was gone for several hours, updated me consistently and I enjoyed chatting with her throughout the entire booking. Highly recommend her for dog sitting, she is so kind and a great sitter to rely on. We’ll definitely be back to Vancouver and if needed, I wouldn’t hesitant to book her again! Thanks Pham!<3
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.
Marina is wonderful. She did a fabulous job, stayed in our home and looked after our two dogs when we were on vacation. She sent regular updates, videos and photos of our pups out enjoying their hikes, in the dog park and at home. She obviously cares very much about dogs and is a sensitive and thoughtful person. I have no hesitation in asking her to sit for us 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!
Perfect Petsitter! 10 Star Rating! Han is amazing and we will only be using her ever again to watch our kitty and house! Our kitty has special needs and is very nervous around strangers (he’s a rescue). But Han and him became best buddies in no time. I received daily updates and the sweetest pictures. Our kitty was having the bestest holiday in his own home with his new best friend. She was the perfect house guest - everything was spotless and the house was well taken care of. I would recommend Han to anyone.
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!
Fiona, as expected, did an exceptional job of looking after George and Winifred. She gave me peace of mind they were doing well through consistent updates and videos which was much appreciated. I will definitely be using her services for future trips. Thank you, as always, Fiona!
Hayley and Jacob were absolutely amazing! We left our 7 year old Border Collie for the first time ever and she loved them!!! Updates and pictures everyday! They took her on walks, hikes and just some basic ball time. Highly recommend them to anyone! Tabitha and John Jackson
I was so pleased to have found Sophie to stay with Murphy over the weekend. I was able to truly relax on my trip knowing Murphy was getting belly rubs,walks and lots of love. I am so grateful for your kindness and reliability and would love to have you stay with Murphy again soon!
I’ve been working with Annette for the past 2+ years as my pet sitter - she’s reliable, communicative and truly cares about the pets she sits. This petsit was the second time with my both of my dogs - one being a new rescue. She figured out a great system to give both proper walks (my frenchie is slow + Stubborn and my rescue is a 75lb bully mix who prefers to go faster). I’m going to adopt her method for myself! 😆 thanks Annette!
This was my first time using a service like rover and I was so lucky I found Heather straight away. She was everything I needed to feel secure leaving my 3 babies . I have a senior labradoodle, an adult doodle and a shy cat . All my animals were cared for like I would have . She provided updates and pictures . Heather catered to all our needs as we are all a little unsure having moved recently . She sensed they needed extra snuggles and love ❤️ . She was in constant contact and provided great communication. Thanks Heather .
Christie took such great care of our senior cat! She's pretty shy and anxious with new people, but Christie was so patient with her and gave her the space she needed to warm up. She kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. We'll definitely be booking Christie again! :)
Harsh was a confident and communicative sitter. He understood our elderly dog's stated needs and also took initiative to ask about other ways he could care for our furbaby. Harsh sat in our home for an extended period and was a good houseguest as well; we would hire him again without thinking twice about it.
Menka was incredible. She was very communicative and gave us frequent updates. She picked up on our animals quirks right away and gave them so much care and attention! They weren’t even that excited to see us when we got home, so they really enjoyed their time with her. Cannot say enough positive things!

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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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 .
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.
