“Araceli is so kind and amazing! Our dog came home tuckered out and I know she had the best time. She also was sure to send us multiple updates during her stay and she’s super responsive. I completely felt at ease leaving our dog in her care and will be a repeat customer going forward. Thank you, Araceli! :)”

“My Dobby was well cared for and a very happy boy. I have a very hard time leaving him with anyone, but the daily pictures and videos helped relieve my anxiety greatly. It was obvious he was having a good time and being well loved. I highly recommend Matt and his family. I know I will use them with great confidence when I need to travel again.”
“We are so glad we found Leah and Chris! We needed to book on short notice. They offered to do a meet and greet to see if things would be a good fit and do a short stay before our long week of boarding. Our dogs loved staying with them! They sent so many pictures and it's clear that our dogs had a great time! Our dogs were so tired when we brought them home and having such a fun time with Leah and Chris. I feel confident and not anxious leaving our dogs with them for our trip. Highly recommend!”
“Hannah was great with our dog, Brooklyn! She sent lots of updates and progress reports. Our dog has severe anxiety, and he had a great time there. We can’t wait to hire her again!”

“Shadie is great! This is our second time dropping our two dogs off here. On this trip, we had a major travel snafu (thanks southwest!) that delayed us two full days.

“Annika, John, and Pepper are perfect sitters for our shy dog! She gets lots of time to play/explore, spoiled with cuddles, and loves going over there. They’re always communicative throughout the stay.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vancouver
Annabelle graciously accepted a very last-minute boarding request due to an unexpected schedule change. Ollie had a wonderful time during his stay. Annabelle and her family was incredibly flexible, communicative, and caring throughout the entire experience. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Ollie was in such good hands. We truly appreciate everything she did and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.
Sandy took exceptional care of Drake and treated him like he was part of her own family. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. Her grandchildren spent time playing with Drake, and it was clear he received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while we were away. Sandy kept us updated, and when we picked Drake up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We are incredibly grateful for the love and care she gave him and would highly recommend Sandy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter. We will absolutely use her again!
We went out of town for 10 days while our dog, Rita, was having some GI issues, and Sean took amazing care of her. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. He went above and beyond by making her special food, keeping a close eye on her, and updating us along the way. We were so worried that we even offered to come home early, but Sean reassured us that Rita was doing well and that he had everything under control. That gave us so much peace of mind. On top of that, Rita absolutely loves Sean and his girlfriend. It's clear they genuinely care about the pets they watch and treat them like they're part of their own family. We completely trust them with Rita and wouldn't hesitate to leave her with them again. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and truly goes above and beyond, I can't recommend Sean enough.
Fran was wonderful! She took amazing care of Pepper, taking her on walks, providing plenty of toys, setting up her blanket for a comfortable place to sleep that reminded her of home and even taking her to a swimming hole. She provided regular updates including videos and photos. I was able to fully enjoy my time away knowing that Pepper was having fun with Fran and her pup Murphy. Fran clearly loves dogs and has lots of experience. Do not hesitate to book with Fran.
Deboye was wonderful with Johnny, and we would 100% book with him again. From the start, he took all of our notes and concerns seriously, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Johnny was in great hands and being really well cared for. He was so sweet about meeting Johnny at his own pace and never pushing him too quickly, which helped him settle in comfortably. He picked up on Johnny’s little quirks and routine right away, stayed on top of his meds, and kept him on his normal schedule. We also really appreciated all of the updates and photos throughout the stay — we missed our pup a lot, and it was such a comfort getting those check-ins and knowing he was doing well. Deboye is attentive, responsible, flexible, and genuinely kind. We’re so grateful for the care he gave Johnny and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. We’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone thoughtful and trustworthy to care for their dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Vancouver on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,354 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Vancouver. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
93% of Vancouver sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Vancouver landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Vancouver home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Vancouver.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Vancouver sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 .
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 WA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
