“They were great and gave us amazing updates on Pablo frequently. He looked very happy and comfortable being part of their pack. We would definitely love to have Andrea and Sergio take care of Pablo again!”
“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.”
“Gabriel and Maria were great! Will definitely leave Teddy again with them. Frequent and useful updates, and Teddy came back very well taken care of!”
“Jungho and his wife took care of Kimchi while I was away on a work trip. He is always quick to respond and accomodate my requests. I also appreciate the frequent updates on Kimchi’s daily activities, and her condition given my dog had a little bit of diarrhea. I’m very happy that they often share pictures of Kimchi and knowing Kimchi is settled in her new environment. Thanks Jungho and family!”

“Our dog Gucci had a great time staying with Roury and Jessica. Even though the booking was made last minute, they corresponded with me right away to approve the booking. Arranging drop off and pick up times were very easy. They showed my dog an amazing time as they took him out on frequent walks and he got along very well with their two dogs. My dog’s birthday came up while we were away and they celebrated him with pupcakes and singing happy birthday. Will definitely contact them again for future dog- sitting!”
“Karolinne and Eric are amazing! They asked good questions to know details about Bambi to make sure she feels comfortable with the stay. And they share updates/photos/videos frequently. I highly recommend them.”
“Zaid was absolutely wonderful taking care of my dog for a week. He made drop off and pick up a breeze for me. And I got lovely updates and photos the entire time I was away. He took wonderful care of her. Would 100% recommend Zaid, and would re-book with him again. Thanks so much!”

“Madison was beyond 5 stars! My senior dog had a medical issue arise and needed extra care and Madison stepped up when I couldn’t be there. I was so worried about my dog and she kept me updated and informed while I was away. You never know when something will come up with your dog and Madison handled the situation with grace, empathy and compassion. Your dog is in very good hands with Madison and Sam.”

We felt very at ease the whole time we were away knowing she was in such good hands.”

This is the second time I have used his service and I am incredibly grateful to him for rescuing mu pup at the last minute as his original sitter was having some trouble with him.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vancouver
John looked after Dory very well! This was our first time leaving her since her adoption and he made it easy with reassurance and pictures of her! He had the same size crate as we use at home with her so we just had to provide her bedding which was convenient. Thanks John!
Destiny and Mon Amie hit it off instantly. My Amie is very energetic and outgoing and I knew she would love Destiny right away. Amie is 66 pounds of muscle raring to experience everything right away! I knew Destiny would get a work out on her walks and Destiny has the muscle to handle a Sheppard Husky. Mon Amie was introduced to other dogs and is now learning to walk in a pack when Destiny cares for her. I have to know that my dog is safe when I leave her in someones care. Thank you for being a trustworthy person.
Jeffrey was a last minute rover booking for us. He was reassuring, calm, punctual and very kind and loving toward our dog, Franky. He sent daily photo updates and notified us about how franky was doing on a regular basis. We would not hesitate to book with Jeffrey again.
Kathryn was absolutely amazing with Murphy. She gave us regular updates and let us know how he was doing. He was so comfortable that he ended up putting himself to sleep and had a great snooze. He was extremely sad to be leaving and was super excited to see Kathryn again. Will definitely be having her take care of Murphy again!
Kirsty is AMAZING. Seth genuinely did not want to leave and bonded so well with her dog - which doesn't often happen as he usually just co-exists. All of the photo updates were so appreciated and he was so clearly happy and relaxed. I would recommend Kirsty to anyone looking for a sitter!!
Roury and Jessica took great care of my two little elderly dogs. They gave lots of updates and were very quick with communication. My dogs had a great time and were in very good spirits when I arrived to pick them up. They were able to medicate my Shih Tzu and care for his ear infection that he contracted prior to boarding with them. I highly recommend this sitter.
We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for Ettore, especially for such a long stay. He spent two weeks with Hector and Jeanette, and from the very beginning they were incredibly kind, communicative, and thoughtful. They kept us updated throughout his stay, sent us lots of pictures, and always reached out if they had any questions. It was so reassuring to see how relaxed and happy Ettore looked in every picture. He clearly felt comfortable and was genuinely enjoying his time with them. He also absolutely loved spending time with Dori. It was so sweet seeing pictures of them playing together, relaxing, and even sleeping next to each other. ❤️ Knowing that Ettore was being looked after by people who genuinely care about him and treat him like their own made our trip so much better. You can really feel when someone truly loves dogs and cares about their wellbeing, and that was definitely the case with Hector and Jeanette. We’re very grateful to them both and would absolutely trust them with Ettore again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little guy! 🐶❤️
Ariel provided excellent care for our high-energy pup, including several trips to the dog park each day. She was excellent and consistent at sending photos to update us while we were away. I would definitely recommend Ariel, we were extremely happy with Kipper’s care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Vancouver on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,740 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:
- 83% 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.
