“Angela was absolutely amazing with my puppy! She took her on a nice long walk as well as the dog park. My puppy was so happy and tired when she got home! I was quite nervous because it was only my second time leaving my puppy with someone and Angela made it super easy and comfortable! I would definitely recommend her!”
“We were so happy to find Jennifer and David for Olive’s daycare stay, especially with only a few days notice! Jennifer was quick to respond, shared photos and was attentive to Olive’s needs for extra potty breaks as a senior dog. Thank you, Jennifer for looking after our girl and hope to see you again soon :)”
“Lisa took care of Ali'i his first time in a new place in Canada. She did an amazing job keeping him calm and making sure he felt comfortable. I received lots of pictures and was updated throughout his stay. I will be using Lisa again!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, along with time spent as a former SPCA volunteer. Through my volunteer work, I assisted with daily care, feeding, cleaning, enrichment, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable in a shelter environment. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for reptiles and fish, including maintaining proper habitats, feeding schedules, and monitoring health and behavior. I’m attentive to routines, patient with different personalities, and comfortable following detailed care instructions to ensure every pet receives the care they’re used to. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication. I’m always happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have total peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, so I’m able to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I structure my day around feedings, walks, playtime, and drop-ins, making sure each pet’s normal routine is maintained. I’m flexible with scheduling and always communicate clearly so owners know their pets are being well cared for. - Safety, routine, and gentle handling are top priorities - Calm, clean, and secure environment - Former SPCA volunteer with shelter-care experience - Respectful of pets’ boundaries and owners’ homes - Regular updates and clear communication
“Excellent service, she is very kind and took care of our dog nicely, always in communication and her dog was a great help too, she was in charge of feeding, walking and potty breaks, 100% will recommend and definitively will take toffee back with her. Thanks ?”
“Lucy was wonderful with our husky Bailey, who came back to us after day care exhausted in the best way. Lucy listened to all our needs, she took Bailey on some great walks and her communication is excellent. She kept us updated and took lots of great photos! Looking forward to her taking our pup again.”
“Olive enjoyed going on walks with Sheryl and loved sitting outside on her beautiful patio! Sheryl has a lot of experience with older dogs and was very attentive to Olive’s needs. We appreciated all she did to make Olive’s first stay as comfortable as possible.”
“Our dog spent four days in a row with Menghan and was so excited to go back every morning when we dropped her off. Menghan is very kind and Mikka took to her immediately. Her backyard is truly park sized and she responds promptly to messages, as well as providing photos and videos throughout the day. We will most definitely be returning next time we are in Vancouver. Thanks Menghan!”
“Amazing experience! We will definitely come again - Barney was well taken care of. Yoonjoo was really responsive, very friendly, and sent us pictures of Barney while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Tanya was absolutely lovely, had great quick communication and sent lots of photos and updates throughout the day. Appreciate her for getting us in last minute and for a long day 🥰”
“Setayesh did an absolutely amazing job as my dog sitter! I couldn’t have been happier leaving my 7 month old puppy, Leo, in her care. She went above and beyond to ensure Leo was safe, happy, and comfortable throughout the entire time. What truly stood out was how frequently she updated me with photos and videos of Leo, which was so reassuring. It was clear that Leo was in great hands and having a wonderful time. Her attention to detail, care, and love for animals shone through in everything she did. Knowing that Leo was being well taken care of gave me complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Setayesh to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. Thank you, Setayesh, for taking such great care of my pup! 🐾😊 Certainly will see you again.”
“Irene is amazing. We messaged her last minute on a Saturday evening and she took Milo and her dog for an evening walk together down to the seawall. She took photos of the two of them together on their walk and sent them to use while we were out. 10/10!”
“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.”
“Anna was great and very accommodating with mi schedule. Anna kept me posted with pictures. Benny had a good time. Benny has separation anxiety but when I picked him up and we were leaving, he wanted Anna’s attention 🐶 I would recommend Anna and will be happy to use her service again.”
“Always a great experience with Cheryl. She meets me in the lobby for easy drop off and pickup, sends a lot of updates throughout the day and Piper is happy and tired at the end of the day!”
“Yuhong was extremely attentive and absolutely great with our dogs! She sent us a lot of pictures and updates throughout the day which gave us a piece of mind. We will definitely use her again when we come home to Vancouver!”

Alexa is awesome! She is a great communicator, and my pup immediately connected to her - and since she is a bit of a velcro dog/attachment issues - it was nice to see her hesitate and not immediately want to leave without a nice goodbye!! We will definitely work with Alexa again, thank you!

There are 2,299 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in West Vancouver. About 87% of West 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 West 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:
- 80% 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.
