“Debbie, Spoiled our Golden retriever -Chloe. Chloe immediately felt at home with Debbie and her dog Sammy. We got daily update’s and picture’s .

Highly recommend Debbie and will continue to rebook with her in the future.”

“She did an exceptional job with Miso! This was his first time boarding with someone he didn’t already know, so we were a little nervous, but she made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. You can genuinely tell that she does this because she loves dogs. She sent us frequent updates and photos throughout his stay, was incredibly accommodating, and was just such a kind, easygoing person to work with. Most importantly, Miso seemed happy and well cared for. We had a great experience and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again! ❤️”

“This was my first time ever leaving my dog canela with someone else and for few nights, I honestly was afraid she would have so much anxiety especially being around other dogs. Jared was very kind and kept me updated on how she was doing including sending pictures of her which helped me not feel anxious. He was very knowledgeable and gave me a few tips on how to help my dog not be anxious when being in a crate and with her barking at other dogs. I am definitely going to be requesting Jared to dog sit as he was amazing and I could tell that my dog canela felt welcomed and at home plus made some friends 🥰 I recommend Jared for sure to anyone needing to have their dogs watched for.”

“Lisa was kind and capable and asked all the right questions. Her house was tidy and ready for a wandering pup. She saw that my dog was feeling antsy at the start of his visit and took him for a walk to help him calm down a bit. She was easy to schedule with and got back to me quickly in general. I will definitely be booking additional stays with her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vancouver
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.
Elaine was amazing with my puppies! Her home and yard were clean and she was very communicative before and during the visit. She kept me updated with videos during the day which I really appreciated. My dogs had so much fun and were worn out by the time I picked them up. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Elaine!
Michelle was wonderful with Tilly! She watched her for 7 nights, and because Tilly can be anxious and reactive, we really appreciated how patient and understanding Michelle was. She took the time to get to know Tilly, including her likes, dislikes, and what helped her feel comfortable. Michelle kept us updated regularly throughout the stay and sent lots of photos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She was also incredibly pleasant and easy to communicate with. We would absolutely book Michelle again and would be very happy to have her watch Tilly regularly for future trips. We highly recommend her!
Britta is a true pet lover, through and through! Very communicative throughout the stay, and her experience and involvement with the pets under her care, is obvious My dog had a fantastic time under her care, and Britta even sent a great photo of Apollo playing. If you want a responsible , sincere pet lover to look after your furry friend, then look no further than!
Moira was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She took great care of our old dog and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and clearly treated them like her own. We really appreciated the updates and knowing they were in such good hands. We would highly recommend Moira to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter!
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!
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.

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.
93% 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
