“Menghan was very professional. My dog had an incident and unfortunately attacked her dog Jenny. :( She was able to separate both of them and she right away updated me of what happened and was able to find out the source of the attack. Again, we're so sorry and thank you for taking care of Casper.”
“It is obvious that Dean cares a great deal about the dogs he looks after. He took time to thoroughly understand my dog to make sure it was a good fit. Bruce came home a happy and tired pup. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and am already booking for future visits. Thanks Dean!”
“Another great experience with Andrea and Sergio! ❤️ Olive stayed with them for about 6 hours and had such a good time. They were both very caring and attentive, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was being looked after. Olive came home happy and relaxed, which is always the best sign! 🐶💕 We really appreciate how well they take care of her and will definitely continue bringing Olive to them. Highly recommend Andrea and Sergio!”
“Robin is the best! She loves dogs and it shows. She's so attentive. She understands the dogs' little personality quirks. She even went above and beyond to sew my dogs harness when one of my dogs chewed it. She's so accommodating to switch times. My dogs love her and her place and go there and don't look back and are so tired and happy when they come home. She sends great updates and pictures. And she's so dog knowledgeable.”
“Ariel was wonderful with my puppy, Mooka. From the start, she was punctual, kind, and very attentive to Mooka’s needs. Ariel kept me updated throughout the booking, which gave me peace of mind. I really appreciated her care and patience, especially with a young dog. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Yoonjoo took amazing care of Snoop! She was very flexible with drop offs and pick ups. Snoop always needed to have a nap when he got home so he definitely had a blast! She is great with sending photos and updates throughout the day as well!”
“The greatest pet sitters we have ever had! Both Olesia and Katya are incredibly professional, patient, and caring. They have such a genuine love for furry creatures and always treat pets with kindness, attention, and care. We always feel confident knowing our pets are in such loving and capable hands. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate pet sitters! Looking forward to book new services with them. Thank you so much! Cheers, Laura, Yury & Foster”
“Carey and Kaja were absolutely amazing sitters for my dogs, Finley and Oliver! From the start, they were incredibly responsive and made me feel at ease leaving my pups in their care while my sister and I skied. They provided frequent updates, including pictures and messages, which reassured me that Finley and Oliver were happy, safe, and well cared for. It was clear they treated my dogs like their own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and exercise. When I picked them up, both dogs were relaxed and content—always a sign of a great sitter! I highly recommend Carey and Kaja to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitters. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“My dog was so pampered today! He got to go to so many new places - park, beach, and maybe even got his own ice cream! Guy and Zol give my dog more love than I could have hoped for!”
“Rhiannon took such great care of my doggo! She was great in communication and kept me updated with photos, which made feel reassured and appreciated. She has a small pup Cheddar that’s so sweet and got along so well with Salgu. When I picked up Salgu, she was happy and clearly well cared for. I’d ask to Rhiannon to care for her again in a heartbeat 😊”
“It was my senior dog Marleys first time being babysat by Jinju. Jinju communicated well, replied promptly and sent me update photos! Thank you for our first day with you Jinju !!”
About: Ive been raised with dogs in my family for my entire life, including my own personal Akita named Simba. My upbringing and experience has taught me a great deal about how to care for pets, and have the utmost respect towards pets and pet owners alike. I’ve always taken great pride in taking care of my pets to the highest degree and treat them as both my family members and best companions. I have experience with very large, medium and small sized dogs from new born puppies to elderly. I currently work fully remotely from home 5 days per week from 9-5. I have a great amount of flexibility when it comes to giving attention or activity during the workday! I live with my girlfriend who is a dietitian in a dog friendly apartment building but do not currently have my own personal pets. I keep an extremely clean home and ensure pets have ample entertainment through their toys, human interaction, and comfortable bedding. I am very health conscious on behalf of all pets I have owned or take care of, I never want to expose dogs or animals to anything that could cause harm or health complications.
“Jie is amazing! We’re her neighbors, and while it’s convenient for us, the real gift is how lovingly she takes care of our Roxy. She has a pup of her own, and it’s clear she truly cares. We hope to continue this wonderful relationship for the long term!”
“Bear has been going for regular group hikes with Karin for a few weeks now. He is extremely excited when she picks him up and absolutely loves his outings. Karin posts regular updates with pictures and notes. She switches up location of the hikes often to keep it fun for the pups. She absolutely adores Bear. We’re so lucky to of found her!”

Chea Chon was able to accommodate our last minute need for a sitter so we could attend a concert nearby! We came for the day from Vancouver Island not wanting to leave our pup for too long, and luckily came across Chea! Even though he was only under Chea’s care for 4 hours, Jasper came back super happy and ready for bed! I can tell he had a great time hanging out! We will definitely be reaching out for any future care needs!
Noah and Natasha are amazing!! Would absolutely recommend. They were able to watch Remi for two days on short notice, and were so accommodating as well. They asked questions to get know her routine and mannerisms, made the time for a meet & greet, and Remi was so excited to see them the second day!! Will absolutely be reaching out in the future knowing Remi is so well taken care of with them.
Sabina was very attentive to our pup, he was challenging as he’s 7 months old and going through his angsty teen phase. I really appreciated her honesty when deciding he wasn’t a good fit for her to work from home with right now. We hope to see her again once our guy has calmed down a bit!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Vancouver on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 2,328 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Vancouver. About 88% 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.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Vancouver commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in BC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
