“Thank you so much, Andrea and Sergio! They have watched our dog, Mochi, overnight on multiple occasions. By the third time, when Sergio arrived to pick her up, Mochi was pulling the leash to run to him, tail wagging with excitement. They sent us regular updates throughout our trip showing Mochi and explaining how she was handling the changes and adapting to her new environment. They even went so far as to help train her to walk properly while leashed! This gave us great comfort and allowed us to enjoy our vacation since we knew Mochi was safe and loved.”
“Angela was the best pet sitter i could hope for for my senior dog. I felt so lucky that she was available and I knew my dog would be cared for really well. Super thankful for Angela and her kiddos.”
“Maya had a great time with Maria and Gabriel. We can tell she is comfortable with them right away. They sent updates and pics, and communication was fast and easy!”
“Andrew was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. His professionalism up front really inspired trust, and once we made a solid connection at the meet and greet, I knew Luna was going to be in good hands. She absolutely was treated like gold. The communication was reliable and flexible. All the photos he shared showed a very happy dog! I would 100% choose to board Luna with Andrew and his lovely partner again any time.”
“Jungho and family are wonderful people and took great care of our rescue Luna. She has stayed with them several times now and I feel she is safe, happy, and well-loved with them!”
“Karolinne and Eric were great! They provided lots of updates and photos and respected all of our requests and Rupert's schedule. Would absolutely use again!”
“Hector and Jeanette were absolutely awesome taking care of our dog Ramona, for 8 days. She has a hard time eing away from us but they made her stay fantastic, with lots of love, attention and constant updates!!”
“I never thought I could find a sitters like Maaya and her partner. Charlie was in the best of hands with them during my 3 week holiday. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone that will treat your loved one as their own. Thank you for everything ❤️”
“It was our first time leaving our dog for 3 days, and we honestly couldn’t be more grateful to have left her with Connie. Her schedule was followed and she got so much attention, treats, and love, especially during playtime with her dogs, cats, and family! We felt very at ease the whole time we were away knowing she was in such good hands.”
“Zaid was fabulous with Simon! My big boy can have some separation anxiety, so finding somewhere he can stay and enjoy his time without me is so helpful. Zaid was super flexible on timing, shared lots of great feedback and photos, and was just an overall great experience. Speaking for Simon, I know he’ll be back to hang out with Zaid.”
“Rocko was in great hands with Madison over the month of July!! I was so worried he would be sad being away from us for so long but it seemed quite the opposite!! He definitely had a blast. Madison was so kind. 100% recommend if you’re looking for a sitter in Vancouver. She’s the first we’ll be reaching out to when we head out of town next!”
“Kayla was a pleasure to deal with and took great care of our kitty while we were away. She was patient with our nervous cat and quickly won here over. We got updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. I would recommend Kayla for cat boarding.”
“Tori went above and beyond with my cat Mango! She was beyond reassuring with any concerns and provided daily updates. She was attentive and I came back to a very relaxed cat who didn’t even want to leave! She also gave me some suggestions which I thought was so beyond her responsibilities and you can tell she really loves cats. Mango was also very fond of her cat and I really enjoyed getting pictures of them together.”
“Jie was an excellent choice! Our dog needed extra care and attention due to a recent surgery. Jie send regular updates and pictures. Most importantly our dog came back happy. Looking forward to rebooking with Jie again.”
“We were so happy with Sheryl's care of Lulu. She was obviously very attentive, and Lulu had plenty of walks, socializing and cuddles! We were afraid Lulu would prefer Sheryl to us! We also appreciated updates on their time together and photos. Would definitely rebook :)”
“Daniela was so kind and warm. She provided plenty of pics and updates and was very easy to coordinate with. Even more was how much care, attention and love she gave Walter. Looking forward to having Walter stay with her again.”
“Megan was one of the nicest and most caring Sitter for our doggy Mario. Mario was so happy to be with Megan and had an amazing time. I highly recommend Megan and will definitely seek her out again in the future. Thanks for everything.”
“Our Shiba Yuki boarded with Sunny for 8 days, and we are so happy with the experience. It was our first time being away for so many days and leaving her with a dogsitter. Sunny is really patient. Her quiet home and calm personality is well suited for our anxious dog. Yuki bonded with Sunny immediately, which made us very comfortable and able to enjoy our vacation with no worries. She has a nice enclosed backyard for fun times, and Yuki loves it. We trust Sunny very much.”
“Braden was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Furfur. Furfur was so relaxed and comfortable with Braden. Braden was also great at communication throughout, always responsive. Highly recommended!”

Mattéa took great care of our 1.5 years old toy poodle puppy. She kept us updated throughout the stay, sending photos and texting updates constantly. We did a meet and greet before the day, and our puppy flocked really comfortably in Mattéa’s Household. We will definitely recommend her services and use them again!
I booked Connie last minute for a surprise trip with my husband, and she was so accommodating with our flight schedules! We had actually already booked her for an upcoming two-week stay and wanted Katsu to get familiar with Connie, her husband Troy, and the surrounding area beforehand, so this last-minute stay ended up being the perfect little trial run. From our first meet & greet, Connie immediately gave us such peace of mind. It was clear that we were aligned on how we care for Katsu and our approach to dogs in general. She was also so welcoming and attentive to all the little details about Katsu, especially since he was recently diagnosed with IVDD. Although he has made a full recovery, we wanted to be extra cautious with things like how he’s picked up, avoiding stairs, no jumping, and generally being mindful of his movements. Connie was incredibly understanding and careful with all of it. She sent us regular updates and photos throughout the day, and honestly, we were able to enjoy our trip without constantly worrying about how Katsu was doing. That meant so much to us as dog parents! We’re so glad we found Connie and Troy! Katsu clearly felt comfortable and happy with them, which made us feel even more at ease. We’ll definitely continue booking with Connie for Katsu’s future staycations.
My Bernese has separation anxiety, so a new environment (especially one without me) can be a lot. Natasha was extremely calm and ready to help earn trust so my dog could ease into the change of scenery. I got regular updates which gave me so much peace of mind. Will be booking with Natasha regularly to keep making progress!
As always, Melissa does an amazing job taking care of our little doodle pup! She provides updates during the dog sitting time frame including cute photos and videos. Lucas always gets excited to go stay with her and she has a really good handle on what he needs. She follows all of our care instructions and ensures he gets lots of fresh air and walks! Thanks again Melissa for making our pup feel right at home!
Yoonjoo was so incredible. She was so sweet, kind and very adaptable to my dog. My dog has quite a lot of anxiety, especially with people and he felt really comfortable with her and she knew how to handle him. She gives regular updates with photos and videos, which gave us a lot of reassurance. I am super happy I used her services and will definitely be back.
Brittany and Daniel took such great care of our girl while we were away! They took her on so many adventures and gave her all the love and attention she needed! We were so happy with all the photos and videos they sent us as well! We’ll absolutely be sending our baby girl to theirs next time we’re away!💛
Nassim (and Pepper!) were excellent, kind, and amazing with our 13 year old pup. It was the first time we have ever left our dog with a sitter that wasn’t family, and Nassim was very reassuring and went the extra mile to make sure we and our dog were comfortable with the whole experience. Thank you again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Vancouver on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,739 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Vancouver. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Vancouver home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Vancouver
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
