“Daphne is thoughtful, easy to communicate with and clearly cares deeply about the critters she is taking care of. Our cat seemed very happy to have her as a companion during our two week trip, and we were at ease the whole time due to easy communication and clear updates. We came back to a happy cat who acted like we never left 😻”
“Dana took great care of my cat while I was away. She administered his medication and paid close attention to any potential symptoms so I never had to worry about im. She sent lots of photos and videos of them playing and cuddling. She also left my apartment spotless! Thanks again Dana!”
About: Hi! I'm Neha, a dog owner in the Cambie/Oakridge neighbourhood, and I'd love to care for your dog like one of my own family. I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was 13, first with family and neighbourhood animals back in India, and now here in Vancouver. That includes Labradors and German Shepherds, and I raised my own dog, Bailey, from puppyhood. I've also looked after many breeds and personalities, from French Bulldogs to Great Danes, and I have a soft spot for senior dogs and dogs who need a little extra care, including medication. Boarding & Day Care: I'm home full time in a ground-floor home with a nice fenced patio, so your dog is never left alone for long. Dogs are welcome on the bed and furniture, with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime and lots of cuddles. My Labrador Bailey is part of the household too, so we'll make sure it's a good fit at the meet & greet. House Sitting: Prefer your pet stays in their own home? I'm happy to care for dogs and cats there and keep their routine just the same. Walks & Drop-In Visits: Midday walks, bathroom breaks, feeding and company while you're away. Cat drop-ins too! I believe good pet care comes down to three things: reliability, attention and communication. I'll follow your instructions carefully and send photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Meet & greets are always welcome before a first booking. I'm excited to meet you and your four-legged family member! I'm home full time, so my schedule is very flexible. I can welcome your dog for overnight boarding or day care, stay at your home for house sitting, or fit in walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I'm happy to help families in the Cambie/Oakridge area with regular care, holidays and trips, or backup care when your usual arrangements change. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, so I'll keep to your pet's existing routine as much as possible. Please message me with your preferred dates and times, and I'll confirm my availability quickly. Your dog's safety, comfort, and routine are my priorities. I live in a ground-floor home with a nice fenced patio, so dogs have easy, safe outdoor access for potty breaks and some fresh air between walks. It's a calm, non-smoking home with no children, and dogs are welcome on the bed and furniture. Before accepting a new booking, I like to learn about your dog's personality, walking habits, energy level, and any specific care instructions. This helps me make sure I'm a good fit for your pet. Whether your dog stays with me or I care for them in your home, I'll follow your instructions regarding feeding, treats, medication, routes, and any important routines. Communication is also important to me. I'll send updates and photos so you can see how your dog is doing while you're away. I'm always happy to arrange a meet & greet before a first booking so that you and your dog can get to know me.
About: Nurturing a Pet Haven: My Journey in Animal Care From the wagging tails of ten dogs—three of whom have crossed the rainbow bridge—to the gentle flutter of bird wings and the serene swims of turtles and fish, my home has been a sanctuary for diverse pets. Each day, I craft nutritious home-cooked meals, tailored to their needs, while meticulously managing their medications and grooming routines. This daily ritual is more than a task; it’s a labor of love, ensuring that every creature in my care thrives and feels cherished. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to take sittings on weekdays as I work on weekends. I can sometimes contribute on weekends too. I will be doing the duties at client’s home with complete secure sitting. I can provide valid background check and profile info and with few references.
“We had Nataliia look after our “evil” cat Turbo. He loves his human mom and dad but takes quite a bit of time to get comfortable with new people. Nataliia did just what we had said. Just ignore him and he’ll come to you when he’s ready. She sent us great pictures of him daily and we could see him fall in love with her. We’ll definitely have Nataliia back to look after our “evil “ cat ! Thanks Nataliia !”
“Yin stayed with our cat over the weekend and was very communicative, polite with our space, and attentive to Nari. She played with her a lot and sent us tons of photos. I think our cat was spoiled with love!”
“Oksana did an amazing job with our cat, Munch. She was incredibly responsive and flexible and I felt very secure about leaving my little guy with her. He was fed, brushed, and cuddled while we were away. Oksana sent us daily pictures and we were able to enjoy our vacation because we knew Munch was in good hands. She followed all instructions we left and we were so happy with her as a sitter. Would happily hire her again!”
“Leeor was very kind and friendly to Rascal while I was away! Gave him his time to come out of his initial shyness and played with him lots once he was comfortable - very attentive to his needs and also checked in with questions. Provided great updates on each check-in and photos of the little guy. Highly recommend!!!”
“Natalie was easy to communicate with and she was very accommodating with both a virtual and in-person meet-and-greet! She was very respectful of my cat's nerves and boundaries upon first meeting and based on the photos and reports I received, he seemed to get along with her well! She left my place tidy and made sure he was fed, watered, and that his litterbox was clean.”
“Katya was great! She came to the house a few weeks before us booking her to meet our two cats. She is very responsive and accommodating. As soon as we met her we knew we could trust her to care for our cats while we went away for the weekend. She kept the house clean and was very respectful. We would absolutely book her services again.”
“Emilie was so great! She sent us great photos of our kittens and also little write ups of what they did which was so cute and comforting when I missed my little ones. Will definitely hire her again! 10/10”
About: Grew up with pets, raised a motley crew of pets, volunteered with the SPCA, and an animal sanctuary in Bolivia. Experience with puppies, seniors, and nervous dogs and cats. My time is to myself these days. I’m focusing on my health and am on a work leave. I would prioritize your pets when I’m sitting. I care for pets in my home as I would my own pets. They have access to all rooms. They can sit on the couch. Sleeping space is delegated to the living room if it’s a crate situation. However, I keep my bedroom door open, and pets can choose their spot. Feeding takes place in the kitchen, and my neighbourhood is great for walks with a dog park a couple of blocks away.
“Fantastic experience from start to finish. Great communication, regular updates, and Ted was very well cared for and happy. Would absolutely book again and highly recommend.”
“Kazuko is an amazing cat caregiver. She genuinely loves cats and took care of mine with great patience. Our cats were quite shy at first, but by the end, they were really excited for Kazuko’s visits. Thank you so much, Kazuko!”
About: I’m Caitlin and I grew up with cats but my current housing does not allow any, so I have spent my time watching the dogs and cats of friends. Together with my sister, Meghan, we have watched every combination of pets (2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 of each). We have often tag teamed our sittings, so the pets have almost 24 hours of care. We have watched elderly dogs and as well as some young cats. I am experienced with giving both cats and dogs oral medication for various issues and carefully watched dogs with a penchant for eating everything they should not on walks. Meghan and I currently are working part time 3-4 days a week. Our shifts on those days can be 10-12 hours, but together with Meghan we have lots of options to be flexible to fit your pets’ needs I try to keep your regular routine, so the more details I can get the better. To stay safe I do not take your pet off leash when going to parks unless that is something requested and your dog is already trained in recall.
“Dana was amazing!! As soon as I got home, I could tell my boys had been taken care of very well. I really appreciated getting lots of updates and pics, which put me at ease. And I'd never have known she spent of couple days at my place since it was exactly as I left it. It was so nice to go away and know my cats were loved and cared for. Thank you so much Dana! 5 🌟 review.”
About: Longtime cat caregiver experienced in both kitten and senior cat care. I like dogs too, of course, but cats are magical weirdos and I love them. I currently work from home, so I’m very flexible with my schedule, I have two cats at home that attend all my meetings. Do your pets like video calls? I will keep indoor pets in and defer to you for any instructions for being outdoors. Can we hit the trail or do we need to stay urban? You let me know!
About: I have taken care of and loved pets since the age of 10. I have extensive experience caring for, feeding, grooming, and walking dogs, as well as looking after cats. I enjoy being around animals and often seek any opportunity to pet sit friends and families' animals, from small hamsters to large dogs. I will treat your pets as if they were my own, with the utmost care and attention. I have cared for a range of breeds, including chihuahua's, pugs, border collies, to larger breeds such as the Maremmano Sheepdog. I currently work in a restaurant in Vancouver, which means I have varying shift patterns which tend to be late afternoon and evenings. I would be available for morning and lunchtime dog walks, and can offer pet sitting if known in advance. I will follow the guidance given by pet owners on the usual routine of your pet, including medication administration, allergies, feeding and walking schedules. I am aware of potential risks and hazards for dogs and cats both within a home environment and outside, and will be thorough in managing these at all times whilst caring for your pet.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Vancouver is $25

Kayla was absolutely amazing at taking care of my baby! She was so attentive from the first meeting to the last day of my trip. I booked last minute and I was so greatful she was available and so excited to take care of my Misty. I looked forward to every update and was so greatful for the peice of mind that Kayla brought me during my trip. She spent extra time visiting with my cat and went above and beyond with the care she provided to her. I highly recommend Kayla, it’s clear she has so much love and care for the pets she watches over while the owners are away 💜
Amanda was absolutely wonderful! I’m so happy with the care she provided for my cat. She was very caring, attentive, and responsible, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my cat was in such good hands. I would definitely book Amanda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter!
Tianpei took such wonderful care of Lilith while I was away! She was reliable, thoughtful, and kept me updated so I never had to worry. Lilith was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved the whole time. It's such a gift to travel knowing your baby is in kind, caring hands. I'm so grateful and will absolutely be booking Tianpei again. Highly recommend! 🤍
Artem was fantastic with Teemu (my cat) ! He was communicative, sent great updates, and I could tell my cat was in wonderful hands the whole time. I will definitely use him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Daphne did a great job. She and Millie the Cat got along very well, and Millie was relaxed and happy when we got home. Daphne sent us good photos and videos after every visit, and she always responded quickly if we had questions or comments. We're looking forward to engaging her again!
Klara looked after my cat Gus while I was out of town, and provided incredible care and love while I was gone! Lots of scratches and cuddles, along with lots of updates and photos each day. Klara was super responsive and communicative throughout. Both Gus and I could tell that Klara really loves cats. It was such a pleasure!
This is our second time working with Dana to care for our cats and she’s been great! Easy to communicate with, drop off and pick up keys, and she spends better time than she needs to with our cats. We’ll always hope to see her as available when searching for care in the future. The care is much appreciated! Thanks Dana!
Renee is simply the best sitter I could’ve hoped for. She cared for my rabbit and did a perfect job! Responsible, reliable, easy to communicate with, and so proactive to make sure my pet received the best care. I’m deeply grateful and inspired by her love for animals!
Leeor was very kind and friendly to Rascal while I was away! Gave him his time to come out of his initial shyness and played with him lots once he was comfortable - very attentive to his needs and also checked in with questions. Provided great updates on each check-in and photos of the little guy. Highly recommend!!!
We are so grateful to Reggie for taking such good care of our two cats while we were away!! Reggie played with our cats and took lots of photos, which made us feel better being away from them. She was very responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely ask Reggie to look after them again!

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 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.

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.

- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 88% 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.
