“Haleigh is always great with our Shihtzu Aika! She sends plenty of updates and we can see from the pictures that Aika is always having a great time with her family! Thank you for adapting to our last minute change, when our flight got canceled and we were only able to arrive later in the evening to pick-up Aika!”
“Shadie did a great job with our two crazy dogs, Sam and Sadie. They haven't had a ton of exposure with lots of different dogs, so I was a little worried. No need! They had a great time at Shadie's house with a bunch of different dogs, and Shadie made sure to keep in touch with me during my trip to let me know how they were doing. I will definitely use Shadie's services again. Thanks!!!!”
“Erik and Emily were great. My dog Schultz had a great time with their dogs he was well cared for they have a great backyard with lots of room to run and play. He didn’t have any problems adapting and was very happy. Highly recommend!”
“Elaine was able to take my August over Thanksgiving. She sent pictures and updates. August was happy when I picked him up, not the least bit anxious or over-stimulated. That's perfect! I would recommend Elaine for your dog's stay.”
“Lucky had a wonderful time with Araceli. She took great care of him and was extremely flexible with the dates. Lucky enjoyed the huge backyard especially because he is high energy and loved that he had Archie to play with. Great communicator and I highly recommend.”
“This was our first visit with Brenda for Cody. He seemed to have a lot of fun playing with the other dogs and even if he was a little bit nervous at the front she was great with him. We will definitely book with her again if we aren't able to take Cody with us.”
“Our dog Scrappy has stayed with Sandy twice now, and she is wonderful! She responds quickly to reservation requests, is flexible with scheduling, and is a pleasant person who clearly likes dogs. Scrappy comes home happy and tired. Thanks, Sandy! Miriam”
“Our cat and dog were left in good hands with Leah and Chris. We got daily feedback and pictures. We could tell our dog got the exercise he needed and daily activities. In the past when we picked up our cat at sitters he comes to us ready to come home, but this time he just laid there looking at us in the other room, ignoring us when we called him to come. You can tell our animals were well taken care of and were happy.”
“Lajetta is an exceptional caretaker. She is intuitive, warm, thoughtful and communicative. I would recommend her to anyone! My doggy was so well loved and cared for during his stay with Lajetta!”
“Otis had another wonderful visit with Amber and her family. The moment we drove up to her home, Otis couldn’t wait to exit the car. He was thrilled to see Amber! We appreciate the exceptional care.”
“Great care of our active dog. She loved her evening cuddle times and sharing a people bed after a fun day of playing with new doggie friends. As a dog mom, I appreciated the timely updates and pics. Jared was considerate of my concerns of how our dog was adapting to the new temporary home.”
“I had to have surgery and needed someone to watch my boy for a month. Maryorie was FANTASTIC! It was such a relief to know he was taken care of and gave me the grace to be able to focus on healing instead of worrying. I HIGHLY recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
“Kathy and Dean were great and I appreciated the care they showed with how they introduced the dogs to make sure he experience was great for everybody. They sent daily photos and Bernie had a blast playing with Riko in the backyard for the week we were gone!”
“Hyde loves playing at Carolyn's house. She makes us feel at ease with all the videos and pictures during the stay. We have a week booked with her next month while we are on vacation knowing our boy is in good hands.”
“Our 13-year-old toy poodle, Lolita, did great with Lisa. We left her for 10 days and I received lots of pictures and updates, which put my heart at ease just knowing that she was in good hands.”
“Greatly appreciated Amy in everything she did. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter for Mickey; she kept me informed with his activities and sent pics, putting my mind at ease. Recommend Amy as a super pet keeper.”
“Christopher was an absolutely great host. He’s got a great yard and two friendly pups to keep your dogs company while you’re away. Very quick communication. We will definitely be asking for his help in the future, and I recommend it to anyone looking to host their dogs where they can be safe and happy while you are gone.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vancouver
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.
I had to have surgery and needed someone to watch my boy for a month. Maryorie was FANTASTIC! It was such a relief to know he was taken care of and gave me the grace to be able to focus on healing instead of worrying. I HIGHLY recommend her and will definitely use her again.
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.
I cannot express how relieved I am to have found such a wonderful Dog Sitter. My dog can be a little nervous at times, and she was perfectly comfortable for a long stay with Vivian. Vivian sent pictures each day, and I could see how comfortable Blanca was in her care. 100% recommend Vivian, and will be sure to bring Blanca back regularly, as they have formed a great bond. Thank you Vivian, I know Blanca looks forward to seeing you again.
Shadie did really well with Reuben and he warmed up to her quickly, since this was his first time being watched by her. She let him play in background with other dogs and snuggle with him and he overall had a blast and was comfortable. She also is great with communication and send frequent photos of Reuben. Definitely recommend.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Vancouver
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.
