Judy came by with short notice to help me out while I was heading up to Whistler for a day trip. She came by to walk and feed Spider his dinner, plus hung out with him to make sure he had some fun before I got home :) I’ll book her regularly on my busy work days so Spidey isn’t alone too long.

About: I was a nanny + dog sitter for 3 years for a family. I took care of 3 kiddos + 3 dogs. I know the hustle, I am super organized and reliable. Mexican = hard worker. You won’t regret it! I am looking to have this job as a side hustle. Vancouver is an expensive city and having some extra income truly comes in nicely. I am available Monday to Friday after 5:30pm. And Fully available on weekends. Thank you!! I am able to take a small dog to my place, is a 1 bedroom apartment with a big balcony. I have a grass area just downstairs so I can easily take pup for walk or potty, not a problem.

About: Hi friends! Zenda here 👋 I’m someone who genuinely loves being around dogs and creating a calm, happy space where they feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I share my life with my sweet cocker spaniel–Labrador mix, Sam, who is the definition of easygoing. He’s helped shape my love for calm walks, cozy downtime, and including dogs in everyday life in a natural, stress-free way. I have a calm, steady energy that dogs tend to respond really well to, whether they’re playful, shy, or somewhere in between. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and adjusting to what they need - whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m flexible with care options and happy to help in whatever way works best for you and your pup - whether that’s drop-in visits, walks, in-home care, or boarding. Sam is very social and easygoing, so having dogs stay with us also feels like a relaxed, friendly little pack environment. Above all, I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I aim to keep things consistent, gentle, and reassuring - with plenty of updates and care along the way. Think of me as a calm, cozy landing spot for your dog… with extra belly rubs included (Sam strongly approves of this policy). Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I already share my home with my dog, Sam, so my routine is built around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and relaxed downtime together. At the moment, I have a very flexible schedule with no major restrictions, which allows me to adapt easily to different pet care needs. This flexibility means I can closely match your pet’s usual routine and provide care in a way that feels consistent and familiar for them. I enjoy being active daily, especially going on long, calm walks and spending time outdoors, so incorporating pet care into my week feels very natural to me. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or longer stays, I’m able to plan my time around what works best for your fur baby. Spending time with dogs isn’t something I “fit in”, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and structure my time around. My priority is always making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood in their environment. I take a calm, attentive approach and pay close attention to each dog’s personality, routines, and comfort level so I can adjust my care accordingly. In my home, pets are welcomed into a relaxed and calm space. My dog Sam is very easygoing and social, which helps create a gentle, friendly environment for visiting dogs. I always introduce dogs slowly and carefully to make sure everyone feels comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect the space fully and follow all instructions closely to maintain the pet’s usual routine as much as possible. I understand that consistency is very important for animals, so I aim to keep feeding times, walks, and habits familiar and stress-free. Across all care, safety is a priority - I stay attentive during walks, ensure secure handling at all times, and make sure pets are never placed in situations that feel overwhelming or unsafe. I also keep communication open with owners, providing updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is creating a calm, trusting environment where pets feel relaxed, cared for, and genuinely at ease.

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.

Yin was so thoughtful and thorough! This was our first time leaving the cats for an extended period of time and we were nervous but she made us feel so at ease. One of our cats is extra shy and she went above and beyond to gain his trust and play with him. Communication was fantastic and we felt she genuinely cared about their wellbeing and happiness throughout!

About: Hi! I'm a dependable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. As the owner of an Australian Shepherd, I have experience caring for active, intelligent dogs that need plenty of exercise, attention, and mental stimulation. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'm committed to providing a safe, fun, and stress-free experience while keeping their routine consistent. I'll make sure your pet gets the care, companionship, and attention they deserve, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages along the way. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m currently working afternoons and evenings leaving me with lots of time during the day to care for your pets! With a hyper active dog myself I already am out and about regularly for big walks. I believe every dog deserves a great walk, and I'll make sure your pup gets the exercise, enrichment, and care they need while you're away.

Iris is an absolutely incredible and highly responsible pet sitter! I booked her to take care of my cat, Orange, while I was out of town, and I couldn't be happier with her service. Orange usually takes time to warm up to people, but he absolutely adores Iris. Every time she left, Orange would stand by the door for a long time, waiting for her to come back. During her visits, Iris went above and beyond—she meticulously cleaned the litter box, refreshed his water, and spent quality time playing with him. What touched me the most was how she handled an unexpected situation: Orange threw up once while I was away. Iris managed it beautifully and took such amazing care of him that he fully recovered and didn't throw up again. She sent me wonderful photos and videos during every single visit, which gave me complete peace of mind and allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation. Iris is reliable, professional, and genuinely loves animals. I will definitely look for Iris to take care of Orange again whenever I travel in the future. Highly, highly recommended!

About: I have loved animals from a young age. I grew up with cats in France and always wanted a dog, but my situation didn’t allow it at the time. Over the years, I cared for friends’ dogs and in January 2025, I began offering my services more professionally. Since then, I’ve been walking and boarding dogs, as well as visiting cats while their owners are away. I’ve had the opportunity to care for a variety of breeds, like Basset-Hound, Cockers, Australian Kelpie, Formosan Mountain Dog, Golden Doodle, Lab/Mastiff mix I can teach basic commands: sit, down, spin I work about 4 evenings per week, but I’m available during the day to give your cat or dog plenty of attention. I can host dogs as long as they're are comfortable staying alone up to 6-8h Your best friend will feel right at home in my spacious, pet-friendly apartment. They’re welcome on the sofa and bed, for extra comfort and cuddles. Your dog’s wellbeing and safety are my top priorities, and I always take a careful, attentive approach to your instructions and other details Spending time with dogs is a privilege, they deserve all the love. My goal is to provide them with happy moments, filled with playtime, walks, and affection while you’re away. My boyfriend sometimes comes visit me and love to spend time with dogs, double the love!!

About: I am new to Rover. I plan to donate 100% of the proceeds at the start to animal charities. I am a big dog lover. Our family have owned miniatures schnauzers for 25+ years. Our last dog past away recently. I miss her dearly and want to be around other dogs. I enjoy long walks so doing it with a furry friend will make them more enjoyable. This is not about making money but rather it’s about a love for animals and spending time with them. Here's an introductory offer for new Rover customers. https://www.rover.com/sit/danieb39402 I have time first thing in the morning, evenings and on weekends to care for your dog for home visits and walks. I am flexible with my schedule and can accommodate requirements most weekday mornings 7:30-8:30am, evenings between 6pm-10pm and most times on weekends. I am planning to start with home visits and dog walking. I will walk or use a car to get to your home. If we eventually offer visit in our home, we have all the necessary toys and equipment to keep all pets safe.

About: I truly love animals and have years of personal experience caring for both dogs and cats. I'm calm, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe and loved. I've handled all kinds of pets-playful puppies, gentle seniors, and even a few with special needs. I'm good at following routines, giving meds if needed, and making every pet feel at home. I treat every animal like family and always go the extra mile to keep them happy and healthy. Get a discount- https://www.rover.com/sit/gurjes12357 Pet care is the best part of my week! I'm free on Thursdays, Fridays, and weekend evenings-perfect for walks, cuddles, and quality time with pets. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or at a client's place, I always focus on safety, comfort, and love. I follow their routine, keep their space clean, and never leave them unattended during walks or play. I make sure doors and gates are secure at all times. In fact, in my current job as a security guard, whenever a dog or any pet comes into the store, I can't help but say hi and give them a gentle pet-I truly love animals and enjoy being around them. I treat every pet with care and kindness like they're my own.

Another great experience with Beth making sure Barlow was able to stretch his legs, eat, and play. It’s so reassuring that as a young puppy Barlow is able to trust Beth when we are away. As new dog owners, this time is so valuable and appreciated. Beth provided updates when she arrived, how he was doing, and when she left.

We want to thank Taylor for the amazing pet-sitting service provided! Taylor was very thorough and made sure our pets were always comfortable. Taylor changed their water during every visit and spent time with them so they didn’t feel lonely. One of our pets was not eating as much as usual, Taylor immediately noticed it and brought it to our attention. This was greatly appreciated as it let us plan accordingly and stay updated on our pet state. We would gladly recommend Taylor to take care of your pet family.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Vancouver on Rover is $26.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 4,256 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Vancouver. About 85% of Vancouver sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available during your working hours. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Vancouver stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.

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.
