“Loki and we are so grateful to have Linn. Linn is so amazing and she carefully followed all of Loki’s routines. She genuinely spent quality time with Loki and kept him company, which means a lot to us. Linn shared lots of photos and videos, and provided detailed updates after each visit. We always knew how Loki was doing. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Linn, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring cat sitter!”
“Priscilla was fantastic! She did drop-in visits at my home for Bluey and Star, and everything went perfectly. Communication was easy and I felt completely at ease while I was away. When I returned, both cats were content and happy, which says a lot. Priscilla ensured they got their wet food and checked that everything was okay in the apartment. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!”
“Marta is amazing! She was so kind and caring with our Guinea pig babies for three weeks. Super communicative and professional. Would definitely ask her to help out again in the future.5/5 stars :)”

“Carol accommodated booking on short notice, visited cat Boris as we agreed to, and provided excellent reports on daily basis. When I returned from vacation, I found Boris calm and happy! I absolutely recommend Carol: you can trust her your pet, you will notice that she loves animals, and most importantly, your pets will enjoy her care!”
“Nataliia took great care of our cat Abbey, she has a calm demeanour and gave our cat the company she needed while we were away. Will definitely have Nataliia back again!”
“Lyvnia was amazing with our two energetic dogs! You could tell right away that our dogs liked her and from the pictures it seemed like they had a great time! She was also respectful of our house and showed up on time! We will definitely look to rebook with her again :)”
“Really appreciate Madison’s care for our puppy. Communication was clear and easy, and Orson was clearly in experienced, caring hands. I have no reservations recommending Madison!”
“Melissa responded very quickly to my short notice request and was incredible with my pups!! She sent videos and pictures of the visit which really made me happy!! I will definitely reach out to her again ☺️”
“Yin was absolutely wonderful with our two cats, Luna & Jenju. We were initially nervous about leaving our babies with a sitter for the first time, but after meeting Yin at the meet & greet, we felt completely at ease and knew they’d be the perfect fit! Yin sent plenty of videos and pictures, and our cats looked so happy and relaxed! Communication was excellent throughout, and it was clear how much care and love Yin puts into looking after pets. It was a great experience for both us and our cats and we truly can’t recommend Yin’s services enough! 🌞”
“We needed someone very last minute to come check in on our two cats and Iris came to our rescue! She was amazing at keeping us updated with pics which was so reassuring. She is a natural cat sitter and I know Coco and Fluffy will miss seeing her!! Highly recommend Iris!! Very trustworthy and responsible- couldn’t ask for anything more.”
“Thank you, Danica! From the start, Danica was responsive and easy to communicate with. She set up a meet and greet to meet my animals ahead of time and ensure things would be a good fit. Danica has a calming, safe presence and my animals felt at ease around her. She is highly reliable, kind, considerate and truly made me feel like my animals were with a family member. I will absolutely reach out to her as my first choice should I require animal care in the future :-)”
About: I've lived with pets since I was born. As soon as I could walk, I was eager to help take care of them: clean the cats’ litter boxes, walk the dog, feed them, change the water, and of course, play with them. As I grew older, so did our dog. In his old age, Archie needed slower, more frequent walks, more attention, different diet and feeding schedule - I was always there for him. That’s how I first learned to care for old dogs as well. I miss him dearly. Nowadays, I live with a cat! He's a very sweet boy, even though a little bit shy. It's my roommate’s first cat, and I’m happy to guide him through this wonderful adventure with my experience. If you’re looking for a gentle attentive caregiver for your furry baby, I got you! I'm working full-time next month, but in August I'll be back to my part-time schedule. I am usually free from Monday to Thursday, but for now only Mondays work. From previous experience hosting small dogs here, we designed a system of spatial separation, not to stress either your pet or house cat. It will have half of the house to explore. We already keep everything edible out of the cat's reach, and there's strict "shut doors, shut windows" policy for our escape artist, so yours also won't have a chance. In others' home, I follow their requirements. If there's no instructions given, I'll look out for following: - no human food eaten - no paws on the table, kitchen counter, etc. - no pushing fragile things from surfaces, no fighting heavy things (that may fall on them) - if there's toys, offer to play every once in a while - if they're comfortable, pet and cuddle Outside: - no picking from the ground - interactions controlled - no off-leash walks, playing off-leash only in the fenced yard or in a dog park - I usually let them to pick the route, but try to walk for at least 20-30 minutes.
“Klara pet sat my cat goose for a couple days. Our trip even got cut short and she was on standby just incase I was delayed. From the moment we met her we knew she was the one for the job. She was caring, thoughtful and had excellent communication. The daily reports were detailed with photo and videos to accompany. It was so great to know and see how happy my fur ball was during their visits. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had dogs on and off my entire life. I adopted an older dog in my twenties who had severe arthritis and cared for him until his final days. This gave me hands-on experience with senior care and medication administration. I have house sat for my family and friend’s dogs throughout the years and given the dogs medication whenever it was needed. I have also been on many walks, runs and hikes with dogs and am able to handle high-energy dogs. My partner and I currently own a dog who is anxious and has some separation anxiety, and so I have a lot of patience and can handle more nervous/anxious dogs. Because of his anxiousness we are almost always with him and have a very homebody lifestyles with tons of positive reinforcement and desensitization techniques. I work as a flight attendant Monday to Wednesday's, and the rest of the time I am home. Whenever I am home I am fully available for pet sitting, dog walking and house drop ins. I mostly spend my days off going for long walks along the seawall, running, camping and enjoying time at home with my dog. I have a very flexible schedule with a lot of time off so it allows me to be fully present for any dog care. I currently live in an apartment in Fairview with easy access to the outdoors. There is a dog park about 10 minutes away from my place along with the seawall for walks. I live in a quiet neighbourhood that is very dog friendly. There is a vet at a 10 minute walk if ever it was needed.
“So appreciative of Mila’s drop in visit with our puppy! She is a great communicator and kept me updated. She is clearly an animal lover. When we had our meet and greet I knew instantly Orson would be well taken care of :)”
“Kazuko was great! She was communicative and responded quickly to all my messages! She went above and beyond for my kitty by walking her for me while I was away. I came home and Cleo was in great spirits, and I didn’t worry about her at all while I was away!”
About: I’ve lived with and cared for dogs my entire life, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I have hands-on experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I understand how their needs change at each stage. I treat every dog like my own! I’m available in the mornings, evenings, and overnight most days, with midday availability on Fridays and weekends. From Monday to Thursday, I have classes from 12:30–4:30pm, so I plan walks, feeding, and playtime before and after that window. On Fridays and weekends, I have a much more flexible schedule and can provide more frequent check-ins, longer walks, or extended care as needed! I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine, whether they’re in my home or their own. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime so everything feels familiar. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and bathroom breaks, and I keep their space clean and secure. I’m also attentive to behavior and mood, so I can quickly notice if anything seems off. You’ll get regular updates so you know how your pet is doing. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment with lots of supervision. I keep routines consistent, provide structured walks and playtime, and make sure they have a comfortable place to rest. I also introduce new environments gradually so they feel relaxed and at ease. :)

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.

Daphne was incredible in every way. Her communication and availability made coordinating key drop-off and a greeting super easy. Our cat loved her, immediately had a connection with Daphne and we loved all the update videos and photos while we were gone. Thank you so much for watching our Jo.
Nataliia is amazing! She’s helped us twice already since the end of June and is our cat, Ellie’s, new favorite person! She is kind and really does the best job at putting our mind at ease knowing she’s going an incredible job! Can’t wait to hire her again and know everything will go perfectly!
Junyan took such good care of my cats while I was gone. She was accountable, respectful, caring and in tune with what my cats were needing. By the end of the five day trip she had my anxious kitty playing with her ! She had great on time communication and would call if anything arose that needed my attention quickly. She is such a calm constant attentive pet sitter which helped put my mind at ease. Both me and my cats love her so much and we will be rebooking in the future !
Marta is our go-to pet sitter. She gives each of our pets the attention and care they need. Even our highly anxious cat comes out of hiding for Marta’s drop in visits. Marta takes great care in meeting each pet’s unique needs. It is clear how much she loves animals!
Kazuko was perfect - we have a super senior cat that requires medications with every meal and Kazuko handled everything perfectly. She was communicative and provided consistent updates with every drop-in visit so we could just relax during our trip. She also left our apartment so clean and overall provided above and beyond what we expected.
We really loved Kenyan she is very professional and punctual. My pet Luna really loved her attention and care. Every visit from Kenyan was amazing and in details with photos and records of everything that she did to Luna. We really recommend her as a pet sitter. For sure we will book her again. Thank you so much for thanking such a great care of our baby Luna. 🐱

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Vancouver on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,610 sitters on Rover for Pet 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.
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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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.
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.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
