“Chea was absolutely wonderful and took great care of Oreo over the Memorial Day long weekend. He gave us regular, thoughtful updates on Oreo’s well-being, took him for walks in the nearby park, and made sure he was comfortable and happy. Oreo seemed to feel at ease with him immediately, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Chea is a great person, very reliable, and his communication was excellent and immediate throughout. The next time we are in Vancouver, we will 100% book with him again. Highly recommend!”
“Ranah and Franki were incredible caretakers for Huck. They were diligent and asked great questions during the intake. Their attention to details made me feel comfortable off the bat that they really cared about his wellbeing and to make sure it would be a good fit. During his stay, they were incredibly communicative with daily updates and cute pictures! I could tell by the pictures that Huck was very comfortable with them. I would 100% recommend Ranah and Franki to anyone looking for care for their pets. Thank you for making a paranoid dog mom feel comfortable :)”
“We had an extremely last minute need for a sitter and John and Shan were super accommodating! They took great care of Berry and provided us with updates. Thanks so much!!”
“Jennifer and David were excellent sitters for our much-loved dog, Seymour. They shared daily updates of how he was doing with lots of photos, which we were thrilled to receive. He clearly was very well loved; lots of walks, cuddles, fetch, and even got to sleep on their son's bed. I would highly recommend Jennifer and David and we'll definitely use their service again in the future.”
“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!”
“Ursula was a great sitter! She was quick with communication and follow through. She was friendly and my pup took to her immediately. The couple of photos she sent to me while I was away were reassuring. Tnx Ursula :^)”
“Michael & Jim are truly wonderful. They take care of our little Leila like she’s their own and she just LOVES going to their place for short or long stays. We adore them xoxo”
“Nassim took such great care of our chihuahua Ziggy! He was relaxed and comfortable with her right from the time we dropped him off and she updated us daily with photos. We could definitely tell he was very happy and calm being with her 🐶 We highly recommend leaving your pup with Nassim!”
About: I've owned and loved a variety of pets in my 50+ years including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, horses and even a mouse! I have experience with senior pets, have a reliable vehicle for transport or emergencies, and can administer meds if needed. I am energetic and fit, so I love long walks with the pups whether on the trails, at the beach or just in the park down the street. I've been house and pet-sitting for friends for many years and I love caring for animals, they bring me so much joy with their unconditional love. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and can tailor it around the needs of the animals in my care. I do go out though, so pets need to be ok being left alone - no excessive howling, barking or scratching at the door please. Generally I'm home every day - available for morning, mid-day and evening walks, and usually, potty breaks during the day. In your home, I'm happy to do as much or as little as you need, and though I prefer not to stay overnight, I'm available from morning until late at night to visit, feed, walk, or stay, as required.
“Guy and Zol have been extremely reliable and have built such a special bond with my dog. They pamper him and take him swimming multiple times. They have helped me out so much and are so kind and caring. Never a single worry about my dogs well being when he’s with them!”
“Anisa was extremely responsive, flexible, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. Most importantly, it was clear that my dog was comfortable with her and had a great time while in her care! It’s always reassuring to know your dog is happy and well looked after, and I felt confident leaving him with her. I would definitely recommend her to others looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Dean is incredible! He has a way with dogs that makes them feel right at home and takes such great care of them. Woody loves staying with him and has a blast playing with the other dogs. Dean sends plenty of updates and in every photo Woody looks like he’s having a lot of fun. I’ve even noticed Woodys confidence has improved after staying with Dean. I would highly recommend him!”
“Loved Heather! She took such good care of my girl and treated her like one of the family. My dog felt so comfortable with them. Lovely photo updates of a very unphotogenic dog. Couldn't be happier.”
“This couple are so attentive and easy going. Genuinely helped me when I was too sick recently by taking Louis overnight so I could rest up. That was so valuable to me and they told me they'd have him again so I'll see that Louis gets another sleepover in near future. Booking again for sure plus they live right by the park !!”
“Elizabeth and Dominic were incredible pet sitters! I always felt like Angus was in great hands and knew he was having a great time through some lovely pictures and updates on what he was up to. I would not hesitate to ask Elizabeth and Dominic to take care of him again. Thank you so much!!”
“Lisa sent me lots of photos & videos of Yuzu's week long stay with her. He was extremely happy to spend time with different dogs who were all similarly sized and had a lot of fun with Lisa overall. Lisa hand fed my picky dog and ensured he ate at least twice a day. He was well cared for and I would highly recommend Lisa.”
“Carey and Kaja looked after our two dogs while we were away on vacation. Both have some on going health complications and one had an acute issue while we were away. We knew from past experience that they could not have been in better hands, and although we fretted while away, we were more at ease than we could have been with any other sitters. Thanks for taking such good and careful care of our complicated pups!”
“Polly and Rez took wonderful care of our little Cody. They sent pictures and comments every day and we could tell that he was happy and relaxed. Cody is not an easy guy to take care of, he is very reactive to other dogs and can be nervous and barky around strangers. They were easily able to handle his challenges and gave him a relaxing holiday while we were away. Great communication and empathic and loving care. Highly recommend them to take care of your pet”

We felt very comfortable with Madison as caregiver for our dog when we were away on vacation. We appreciated the photos and updates that Madison sent us and our dog came home happy, healthy and well cared for. We would highly recommend Madison and will send our dog back for another stay if we have the opportunity.
Mattéa took great care of our 1.5 years old toy poodle puppy. She kept us updated throughout the stay, sending photos and texting updates constantly. We did a meet and greet before the day, and our puppy flocked really comfortably in Mattéa’s Household. We will definitely recommend her services and use them again!
I booked Connie last minute for a surprise trip with my husband, and she was so accommodating with our flight schedules! We had actually already booked her for an upcoming two-week stay and wanted Katsu to get familiar with Connie, her husband Troy, and the surrounding area beforehand, so this last-minute stay ended up being the perfect little trial run. From our first meet & greet, Connie immediately gave us such peace of mind. It was clear that we were aligned on how we care for Katsu and our approach to dogs in general. She was also so welcoming and attentive to all the little details about Katsu, especially since he was recently diagnosed with IVDD. Although he has made a full recovery, we wanted to be extra cautious with things like how he’s picked up, avoiding stairs, no jumping, and generally being mindful of his movements. Connie was incredibly understanding and careful with all of it. She sent us regular updates and photos throughout the day, and honestly, we were able to enjoy our trip without constantly worrying about how Katsu was doing. That meant so much to us as dog parents! We’re so glad we found Connie and Troy! Katsu clearly felt comfortable and happy with them, which made us feel even more at ease. We’ll definitely continue booking with Connie for Katsu’s future staycations.
My Bernese has separation anxiety, so a new environment (especially one without me) can be a lot. Natasha was extremely calm and ready to help earn trust so my dog could ease into the change of scenery. I got regular updates which gave me so much peace of mind. Will be booking with Natasha regularly to keep making progress!
As always, Melissa does an amazing job taking care of our little doodle pup! She provides updates during the dog sitting time frame including cute photos and videos. Lucas always gets excited to go stay with her and she has a really good handle on what he needs. She follows all of our care instructions and ensures he gets lots of fresh air and walks! Thanks again Melissa for making our pup feel right at home!
Yoonjoo was so incredible. She was so sweet, kind and very adaptable to my dog. My dog has quite a lot of anxiety, especially with people and he felt really comfortable with her and she knew how to handle him. She gives regular updates with photos and videos, which gave us a lot of reassurance. I am super happy I used her services and will definitely be back.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Vancouver on Rover is $53.5 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 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 August 2026, there are 2,844 sitters on Rover offering Pet Boarding across Vancouver. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
