“This was our second time boarding our dog Nola with Ranah and Frankie, and again the experience was wonderful. We got daily updates with pictures and videos, and they just genually cared about and loved our girl. We would absolutely go with them again 💯”
“We appreciated Michael taking care of Arrow—he was conscientious and detail oriented. Yogi was also a very friendly and relaxed doggy host to our dog. A clean home + good care.”
“John was very responsive to messages regarding pick-up and drop-off and my outreach while I was away. He was timely to meet up for both drop off and pick up too and my dog seemed well cared for when we returned. My only wish would have been for him to send more photos and updates but I realised I didn't specify this beforehand so I was content with his rapid responses and photos when I asked for updates.”
“Jennifer and David took such wonderful care of Oreo while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such good hands. They were so kind and easy to communicate with, and sent us lots of photos and updates throughout our trip. Oreo takes medication every day, and they were very conscientious about keeping up with her routine, which gave us extra peace of mind. It was also so nice to see how much their whole family welcomed Oreo; she got lots of attention and cuddles and clearly made herself right at home! (She especially loved all of Ruby toys.) We came home to a very happy dog. We would definitely have Oreo stay with Jennifer and David again and highly recommend them.”
“We had a great experience with Ash dog! They were reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our dog's stay. It was clear our pup was happy, well cared for, and got plenty of attention and exercise. We came home to a relaxed, happy dog, which gave us real peace of mind. We would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“JM was an amazing dog sitter for Lulu! From the very beginning, JM was reliable, caring, and attentive, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Lulu was happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of love and attention. JM kept us updated with regular messages and photos, creative, beautiful journal entries, and it was obvious that Lulu felt comfortable and safe. I truly appreciated the professionalism, great communication, and genuine care shown throughout the stay. JM is a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Lulu—we would be happy to book with you again!”
“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!!”
“such a kind and sweet mother and daughter duo! took such great meticulous care of my dog bruno when my partner and i were away on vacation. not once did we have to worry as we knew he was in great hands! they also sent us daily updates which we appreciated. we would highly recommend sunny & zhiyi!”
“Joshua took great care of my dog Leia! She was very comfortable around him and it looks like she had a great time from all the photos! Great communication and updates, will definitely book again!”
About: My fiance (Yurim) and I both grew up with dogs, for the last few years we have volunteered with doggy daycare facilities and fostered for the SPCA while sitting on Rover too. We got our little Buddy in 2025 and have been having a ton of fun learning about him and finding out how to best care for him. We are ready to get back into doggy sitting and looking to find some new friends for Buddy so that they can enjoy their time better together :) We'd like to restrict our dog sitting to other dachshunds or small dog breeds for the time being as Buddy gets along very well with smaller dogs + having two little cuties in the bed to cuddle with would be amazing! Buddy is very calm and chill, even with other dogs, he usually just wants to sniff and then just lie down without getting overly energetic, even if the other dog is energetic. So if they are older or younger he will likely get along very easily. Any days off I have listed are completely free. If I’m booked to take care of your family dog then it’s my main priority. Happy to be flexible to best suit your pets needs :) Like a baby, try and always keep an eye on them, especially while they are getting comfortable with a new space. Lots of walks outside to let them be in nature too.
“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.”
“Nicole took really good care of Nino. He was really happy in all the videos and photos she sent us and was in a really good mood when we picked him up. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Sandra and her kids took wonderful care of my dog! They are genuine animal lovers and very knowledgeable, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog was clearly happy and well looked after. I highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Sidney was awesome ! She clearly loves animals, sent photos the whole time. Felipe came back happy and healthy. We were a little late coming back and she was very understanding. We will use her again for sure.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Sara! She took exceptional care of my dog, walking her three to four times a day and making sure she was well looked after. My dog even got to spend time with her sons and relax on the couch. She was also incredibly kind and attentive. Plus, she sent tons of photos every day and was always easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her!”
“I just completed my second booking with Samira for my cat, Nono, and I honestly couldn't be happier. Finding someone you can trust with your pet is always a challenge, but Samira has officially become my go-to sitter. What I appreciate most is her consistency. Just like the first time, she was incredibly professional, followed all of Nono's specific feeding and play instructions perfectly, and kept me updated throughout the entire stay. She sends the best photo updates, which always makes me feel like I’m right there with him. It’s clear that Nono has grown comfortable with her, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. He’s usually a bit particular, but he warmed up to her quickly, and seeing him relaxed in her care is the best endorsement I could ask for. If you are looking for someone who is responsible, communicative, and truly an animal lover, Samira is the one. I will definitely be booking her for a third time and beyond!”
“Wendy took great care of our senior dog and provided tons of updates and photos. Even gave some treats and added goat milk in his food for extra nutrition. Looks like Rocky had a great time and will be rebooking in the future!”
“We appreciate very much Michu’s service! Her written communication was key to choose her over other sitters. Since we contacted her, she was friendly, kind, & provided us with a full disclosure including photos & videos of Kaiser Bronx. Michu followed up everything we discussed before, thus Kaiser & us left happy after the boarding. We definitely will choose her again.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Vancouver is $50

Maria and Darren were absolutely wonderful with our dogs! It was clear from the beginning that they genuinely care about the dogs they look after. Our dogs really loved them and seemed so happy and comfortable in their care. After a two-week stay, our dogs came home happy, healthy, and well cared for, which gave us so much peace of mind. Maria and Darren kept us reassured throughout their stay, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our dogs were in such loving hands. We would happily book with Maria and Darren again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, and loving dog sitters!
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.
Gabi and Eros were such perfect sitters. The communication was so punctual, their home was immaculate, and they were so generous with their time in buying more kibble for Fred and making sure he ate enough (my mistake in not bringing enough). I could tell Fred had a wonderful time with them. Thanks Gabi and Eros!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Vancouver on Rover is $53.5 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,843 sitters on Rover offering Pet Boarding across Vancouver. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

- 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.
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 pet, 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
