“Debbie was fantastic! I was so happy Buttercup had the best boarding experience while we were gone on our trip. She made sure to take down important notes and always kept me updated on how things were going. I felt so comfortable knowing my baby girl was with someone I can trust and was getting daily attention. Thanks again for all you done Debbie and Ron! 🙂”

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.
“She took good care of my dog and send me pictures and updates. and her two dogs were very sweet and got along well with my girl. I had a bit of a change of plans which affected the pick up time back and forth but Jocelyn made it work and accommodated me perfectly which I am grateful for.”
“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!”
“Another wonderful visit for Maggie with Dawn! She's the best! Maggie is so loved and cared for while she is here. Endless play and lots of walks. Not a thing to worry about while she's with Dawn.”
“I almost want to gatekeep Kathryn, she’s so good. Dog sat my puppy for 10 days and don’t think he wanted to come home. No but in all seriousness, Kathryn is the epitome of professional and a talented dog person. Appreciate her so much.”
“Amber was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our hound dog Bagel. She lovingly cared for bagel for a whole week while we were away. She sent updates and Bagel got snuggles, play time, sunshine and everything she would ever need from Amber. Bagel didn't even want to leave because she was having so much fun with Amber and her resident dog. Amber is the best Rover sitter we have ever found and will definitely come back to her in the future!”
“It was a really great experience boarding my cat with Ashley. She sent pictures showing her playing with him and he looked very happy. Her house and yard are very peaceful and well-suited for dogs or cats. Her two cats were friendly. I'll definitely book with Ashley again if I need someone to watch my cat!”
“Madeline is absolutely amazing. I would recommend her to anyone. My pup had so much fun, I was nervous leaving him with anyone, she communicated the entire time. Sent me photos and lets me know how my boy is doing. Will be booking for more than a week next time. House is amazing very well prepared for any dog she takes care of. I was very much at peace while on my vacation knowing my pup is in good hands.”
“We’ve used Juan several times and will continue to send our Lucy there when we can’t take her with us. He’s kind, quick to respond, and gives updates and pictures.”

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.
Having a dog on the nervous side always makes time away a little stressful, but Michelle really took the time to get to know our pup and was so supportive to the needs of our pup during her stay. She was very communicative and flexible, so it really helped make the whole experience stress free. She took great care of our girl, I’d absolutely book with her again!
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!
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 $47 per night as of October 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 October 2026, there are 2,347 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 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, 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 , 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 .
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.
