“We had a great experience with Debbie for an extended weekend stay! This was our first time leaving Egg with someone we didn’t know, but we immediately felt at ease. Debbie is clearly a dog lover and was so understanding of Egg’s quirks . She was incredibly flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which we really appreciated. Throughout the stay, she was communicative and sent frequent updates, pictures, and videos of Egg. I highly recommend her and would gladly leave her in Debbie's care again!”
“Amy was great! Very accommodating, responded quickly and sent plenty of pictures and videos. There was never a doubt that Treble would enjoy his time and was safe. When I come back, I’m definitely going with Amy again!”
“Haleigh is fantastic! I always feel completely comfortable leaving my dog, Pepper, in her care. As Pepper has gotten older, her needs and abilities seem to change every day, and Haleigh has been wonderful at adapting to those age-related changes. She is patient, attentive, and does a great job keeping Pepper calm, comfortable, and happy. It's clear that Haleigh truly cares for the dogs she watches and treats them like her own. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter, especially those with senior or geriatric dogs who need a little extra care and comfort.”
“Barry took such great care of Bug. He was very intentional with walks and treat enrichment. He has great communication. I will definitely use him in the future.”
“Excellent in every way. Caitlin has a very friendly personality that is excited about meeting and spending time with dogs. Her home is well equipped and comfortable to provide a home away from home for your dog. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone, just don't take away my next reservation!”
About: I have cared for a variety of breeds, energy levels, and personalities. I've helped train puppies, given medications, and helped anxious dogs remain calm while with us. As a family, we adapt to each pet and pet parent's requests including timing/ frequency of meals, giving medications and only food provided as needed, activities/ walks the dog prefers, crating (or not), and other things that helps them feel comfortable. I work part time and volunteer while my kids are in school. We are home most evenings and days, we have some activities but we're back early in the evening. I have a fenced yard in a safe neighborhood that doesn't have any traffic noise (there is some daytime construction but it hasn't concerned any of our guests yet). I have a spot for their bed that is central to most of our activities so they can observe and relax. Most like the big front window to watch the street from. The girls do a lot of ball throwing, tug of war, and treat hide and seek. They also like to make treats (when pet parents allow) and reward them for responding to commands. I don't allow them to feed dogs anything on their own.
“My pups, Ruby & Blue had the best time staying with Dominique! They loved playing with her pups, and I got lots of cute pictures and updates while I was away. She made the process very easy and communicated well. Will definitely use her services again! ?”
“Amber and her family were awesome. She is definitely a Dog person. Went over and above any of my expectations. I feel very safe leaving any of my pets with her and her family. I will definitely use her again.”
About: Hi, I'm Eric! I'm a dentist in Vancouver, and for years I shared my life with Harley, my Labradoodle. He's no longer with me, and I really miss having a dog around the house. Boarding on Rover is a great way to have that companionship again while helping you travel worry-free. I work close to home, so I'm gone during the day, but I come home at lunch to check in. I'm home every evening and all weekend. My home has a private, fenced side yard set up as a clean, secure potty area, and we head out on leashed neighborhood walks for exercise and sniffing. I take only one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention. I have no other pets, so your dog is my only guest. I'm happiest with small and medium dogs. Expect daily walks, cozy couch time, and photo updates so you always know how they're doing. I'd love to set up a meet and greet!
“Having Roshan stay with our doggie was amazing. She was wonderful in communicating with us throughout his stay with her. Very loving and caring person towards him. He was definitely in good hands, he had a great time with her. 🥰”
“Steve provided a great experience for us and our dog Mochi! We left over the 4th of July and she was with him for over a week. She came back to us happy, healthy and tuckered out after playing with the other pups in Steve's care. Steve was great about communication, flexible with us in our scheduling of our meet and greet and overall just wonderful to our dog Mochi! I hope to be able to book with Steve again in the future. I know Mochi would love it!”
“Once again Vivian did an excellent job watching Luca. She sent me lots of pictures and videos. He was totally spoiled by her and her son. He came back happy and well cared for. I'm so grateful to Vivian and her son who took care so well of my baby.”
“Jared was so great with Peach! She can be a little nervous at first, but based on the pictures we got, she felt right at home. Would definitely book with him again!”
“Annie is our almost 14 year old Jack Russel...she can be a hand full. It was nice to see photos of Annie laying on a quilt on Kristen's lap. We are very happy that Annie did well under Kristen's care. She is going blind and gets scared easy. Staying with Kristen was soIt is so much better than boarding her.. The last 2 times we had house sitters...we were worried...but everything worked out great...Thank you Kristen..”
“Mallisha was fantastic. Her helpful, communicative and friendly attitude made things easier for me to be away from my fur baby with her! She took such good care of him and made sure he was loved and entertained just like at home. Sent lots of updates which I love too!”
“We're always anxious when we leave Cal while traveling, but Kristen did a fantastic job sending updates and photos that were reassuring and showed Cal was clearly being well taken care of. We'll be planning more trips, and we're hoping Kristen will be free!”

Elaine was terrific! Professional and friendly and most importantly my dog was immediately relaxed with her! She communicated daily with photos and updates and was super flexible arranging drop off and pick up as she kept my dog at her home! Will definitely book Elaine again with Rover!!
Sean will provide excellent care for your baby. I stopped by about a week and a half before Maisie's stay with him for a meet and greet. I quickly went over some care instructions with him, planning on doing it again when dropping Maisie off for her actual stay (it's nerve-wracking leaving your dog with someone new 😬). I can tell he's attentive because while going over her care, he had mentioned details he had already read in her bio. Also when I dropped Maisie off for her stay, he mentioned things I had gone over at the meet and greet. Maisie sometimes doesn't eat in new environments, but we have a couple of work arounds. Sean updated us on day one that they worked, which helped my wife and I truly settle into vacation mode. Sean spoiled Maisie with a beach walk on day one and continued to provide updates, even saving a small piece of cooked bacon in case I was okay with Maisie eating it later. I had mentioned that we've taught Maisie not to beg. We do however give her little bits from time to time as long as it's not from the kitchen or our plates, and this part I had not mentioned. He handled that situation exactly as we would have in our household and it made us so happy that he was thinking of her. Sean is a laid-back dude and he's also a pro. Be assured your pup is in good hands.
April and her husband were amazing. They took her on short notice including a meet and greet. They understood her and her quirkiness and energy level. April gave updates on Esther’s stay, incredible communication if needed anything and regularly sent fun pictures. We will not hesitate to book April in the future. Amazing caregiver!!!!
Moira watched my pup, Keiko, for 5 days, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Leaving your dog can be stressful, but Moira went above and beyond to make sure Keiko felt safe, comfortable, and loved the entire time. She sent tons of pictures and video updates throughout the stay, which gave me complete peace of mind. Keiko was so well cared for, happy, and settled! I will definitely be booking with Moira again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy dog sitter.
Sandy and her husband were so great. They gave our dog such great care and sent pics and videos. Great communication. You can tell they truly love animals and they have an amazing backyard. My dog felt comfortable with them really quickly and I will definitely be a return customer.
Tosha was great, she was a great communicator and let us know how Nellie was doing with photos and a video during her stay. I especially loved seeing Nellie playing with her own little dogs, and having a great time. Tosha was prepared and organized, I was impressed at the notes she took and questions she asked me about Nellie to make sure she would be comfortable and well taken care of. She did a great job and I highly recommend her.
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Vancouver is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,389 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Vancouver. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Vancouver can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Vancouver. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
