“Angela was so attentive and thoughtful about caring for Ollie and we feel lucky to have found her and her family for future care. It’s always a bit nerve-wrecking to leave your dog with new people. Angela made the process feel seamlessly easy.”
“Andrew and Sergio were very kind, and went out of their way to make sure we felt comfortable leaving our dog with someone else for the first time. I would absolutely book with them 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.”
“I can absolutely recommend Sidney. She took great care of my dog Scarlett over the August long weekend. Sidney was incredibly communicative throughout the process and made sure that Scarlett would be comfortable throughout the weekend. She even helped her through a fright with some fireworks that happened during her stay which I really appreciated. Will definitely be booking her again.”
“I was very happy to trust Anna with taking care of Ginny. She communicated well, was flexible and understood what made my dog feel safe and comfortable. We will be coming back!”
“Heather was incredible with my 8 year old girl Bambi! She gave me daily updates of their walks and cuddles and I could tell she genuinely cared for Bambi and wanted to make her feel comfortable. I felt so at ease immediately have my baby in her care and I will definitely use her again! She hardly wanted to leave when I picked her up!!”
“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!”
“As usual, Madison did an amazing job of taking care of Kimi. She was proactively responsive and understanding of my pet’s needs. She even administered Kimi’s medication without fail. Will recommend her any day!”
“I had an excellent experience using Rover, and Jung and Alice were wonderful with Molly, my Goldendoodle. Molly was happy, well taken care of, and settled in right away. I really appreciated the regular photos and videos, they made it so easy to relax knowing she was in good hands. Everything was smooth, professional, and reassuring from start to finish. I’ll definitely be using Jung and Alice again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring dog care!”
“This is the second time we’ve left Bruce with Karolinne and Eric and they are truly the best! Great communication and they are so loving towards our little guy Bruce! 100% would recommend them to anyone!”
“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.”
“We recently did a trial stay with Héctor and Jeanette for our dog Ettore, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how it went. It was Ettore’s first time staying with them, so I was a little nervous at the beginning… but they were amazing from the start. They were incredibly patient and really took the time to understand his personality. They gave him space when he needed it, but were also very attentive and caring, which made such a difference in helping him feel comfortable. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they look after. By the end of the stay, Ettore seemed relaxed and at ease, which says everything. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust them again, especially for a longer stay.”
“Maaya did a great job looking after our dog Toby. Toby had a great time and Maaya did an excellent job communicating how Toby was doing and sent a lot of really great pictures. Would not hesitate to recommend Maaya to other dog owners!”
“She took great care of Pepper, going above and beyond to make him feel safe and happy away from home. Sent us regular updates and asked us clarifying questions about medications etc. when needed. Highly reccomend!”
“My and Tim's experience with Braden was fantastic. Tim was happy and relaxed when I picked him up. Braden was quick to respond, and sent updates on how Tim was doing. I definitely will be reaching to Braden again next time I'm going out of town. Thanks!”
“Daniela and Daphne were amazing. I was anxious because it was Pippas first time away from home, but she was living her best life and came back very happy! Definitely found our sitter”
“Connie provided excellent care for our dog. She provided all of the information needed before drop-off. Once we dropped off our dog, she provided updates via texts, pictures, and videos on a very frequent basis. She was also very understanding when there was a slight delay picking up our dog due to traffic conditions. Happy to let her watch our dog again if needed.”
“Zaid was very caring and provided regular updates. Our cats are usually a little scared the first time with someone new and he was very patient while they came out of their shell. Highly recommend.”
“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.”

Debbie is fantastic with English Cocker Spaniel, Ruby. We've used Debbie several times now and we'll continue to send Ruby to her as long as she'll have us. Debbie takes fantastic care of Ruby and Ruby just loves her. We get daily updates with photos and Ruby goes out for walks and to the park several times a day, and gets to spend time with Debbie's chihuahua, Rio -- they get along great. Thanks again, Debbie -- we'll be sending Ruby your way again for our next vacation!
Katherine took great care of our goldendoodle! She was easy to communicate with and very understanding of our guy’s anxious tendencies. We received photos and updates each day and she made sure he got his daily medications. We’d definitely reach out again to Katherine in the future for boarding. Thank you!
We had a wonderful experience with Priscilla! She took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout her four-night stay. Our dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Priscilla and would happily book with her again!
Lilian made our dog feel very comfortable and the process of leaving her for a long duration easy. We received regular updates and pictures and could tell she made our pet part of her family and put us at ease. Very well accommodating to our timeline for traveling. Would use her again definitely.
Lucy had a wonderful time with Vanessa!! Vanessa made sure to keep us updated with plenty of photos and videos while we were away on our trip. Lucy definitely got to make the most of her time outside on walks and runs. Vanessa was accommodating for us when we had some issues with our ferry, meaning that Lucy had to stay a couple extra hours but that was no problem for Vanessa! Lucy will definitely be back!
Angie was incredible! One of the best sitters I’ve worked with on Rover. She was flexible with pickup and drop off times and was in constant communication with photos and updates about our pup. She asked all the right questions to make sure she understood Luna’s behaviours and what would make her comfortable. I will be going out of my way to book with Angie again.
Brittany was wonderful with my dog, Ennis, who can be reactive and needs someone patient and attentive. She communicated well throughout his stay and sent photos. When I picked him up, he was relaxed and well cared for. Brittany was also very flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which I really appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.
Victoria is the kindest, most attentive sitter you will find. The love and care she showed Juniper during her stay went above and beyond every expectation. She sent daily photos and videos, replied quickly to every message, and her genuine love for dogs is contagious. I will absolutely be using Victoria's services again in the future.
We recently did a trial stay with Héctor and Jeanette for our dog Ettore, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how it went. It was Ettore’s first time staying with them, so I was a little nervous at the beginning… but they were amazing from the start. They were incredibly patient and really took the time to understand his personality. They gave him space when he needed it, but were also very attentive and caring, which made such a difference in helping him feel comfortable. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they look after. By the end of the stay, Ettore seemed relaxed and at ease, which says everything. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust them again, especially for a longer stay.
Destiny was great, very communicative right from the start, quick to respond, sent daily updates and was very flexible when we ran into delays on our trip and she had Nala for an extra night at short notice. Nala seemed very happy when we picked her up, would definitely recommend Destiny :)

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.
