We really enjoyed having Lindsey as a pet sitter for our 4 month old puppy Barkey. Barkey loved his time with her. He was always excited about going back. 10/10 I would highly recommend, we will definitely rebook Lindsey in the future.

Rebecca was a dream to work with! I observed that my basset hound felt so secure with her right away, and returned back to me so happy and calm. It was a perfect fit. I really appreciated Rebecca's communication and responsiveness. We will definitely be connecting again the next time we are in town - sincerely could not have asked for a better experience!! Thank you!!!!!

Amy was SOOO accomodating! And just a friendly and caring person overall. It was my first time using a pet sitter while on a road trip to Ucluelet and I decided to try squeeze in some whale watching. Amy accepted Zoey with 1 nights notice and even accomodated an earlier drop-off because I forgot to account for the 45min check-in time for the excursion. Amy sent text & pic updates. Zoey was very well taken care of & even got to enjoy an oceanside walk. :)

We were ultimately satisfied with the care Jenn and Adam provided for my two pups!! My first time using rover and dropping my dogs off so I was very nervous but they made the experience easily 12/10!! My dogs can be anxious and hard to warm up to new people, but they warmed up right away to them! They were so caring, respectful and understanding to our needs! Would send me updates for the dogs, took them on fun adventures and lots of love and snuggles. When we come back and need pet care I hope to be able to bring my furbabies to Jenn!! Thank you both so much for your excellent care

We all liked Courtenay right off the bat, especially Phoebe, and we felt very comfortable leaving Phoebe with her. We tried a two-hour sample stay first and that went very well so the full days that we needed puppy day-care were an easy transition. Courtenay made sure Phoebe was comfortable and busy so she didn’t have time to miss us, and her whole family was also involved so our little girl had a great time. We will definitely leave Phoebe with Courtenay again when needed ✨ thanks Courtenay and fam!

Marcy is a TREASURE!! I left my 13-month old giant breed puppy with her for the day and he had an amazing time. I knew as soon as Marcy and I met that he would be in fantastic hands, and I couldn't have been more right! When we arrived, Gilly went straight in to Marcy's house, fully confident and happy. I highly recommend her!

Such an amazing and caring family! My dog couldn't wait to get out of the car for her second day, her tail was wagging the second we pulled up. She got tons of love and endless belly scratches. Highly recommend for any pup who loves snuggles and playing with kids!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Youbou

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 86 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Youbou. About 97% of Youbou 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 Youbou 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
