“This is the second time we have used Mandi and I would use her again in a heartbeat. She is incredibly reliable and took amazing care of our cat. Additionally our cat needed pill medication twice a day and she was amazing with making sure our cat got his meds. Can’t recommend Mandi enough!!”
“Steele is kind and responsive. We felt like our dogs were in good hands the entire time. He made our vacation better knowing we had nothing to worry about. 10/10”
About: I’ve had my own personal pets all my life and believe pets are family and treat them as such. I have also taken care of friends, and family pets as well. Currently, I do not have any pets of my own as I lost my 2 Boston terriers last year. Now I’m dedicating my time to help others care for their pet family members. I love animals and anyone who knows me, knows this about me. I work from home full-time and I can work from anywhere that has internet. I just bring my laptop and I’m able to care for your fur kids all day :) I am especially good at cuddles all day, walks, and feeding/playing with your fur kids. My motto is animals are better than humans because they are. I love them!
About: I will admit that I acquire no previous professional experience, however, I think I can speak for all animal lovers when I say that it doesn't take much when it already comes so natural in the first place. Being around 4 dogs and 2 cats growing up has made it that much more comfortable and easier to sign up for Rover. From tending anxiety attacks and engaging in playful encouragement on zoomie runs, to simple walks and strolls and chill TV sessions, animals have always been the most versed, laid-back companions anyone could ask for. As of right now, I am available all days of the week. Times varying from morning to late afternoon. Available boarding may range from any of these dates and timeframes, but please feel free to reach out regardless! Baths, walks, scheduled feeding times and play is always within my routine when caring for fur babies. When I had my cats, feeding time was whenever a timer set off and played the New Girl intro. Silly, yes. However, very effective.
“Shannon was great! Super on time, followed instructions perfectly and added great notes and pictures to ensure we knew all of our fur kids were happy and safe.”
About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m an animal lover who truly believes pets are part of the family. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and will treat your pets with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in good hands, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I’m also respectful of your home and will leave everything just as I found it. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can trust for all your pet-sitting needs! 🐶🐱❤️ I am currently available every day and have an open schedule. I available most nights as well and can house sit overnight as well. Dip in visits and walking services can be any time needed! I currently live in an apartment with a cat so I would have to take care of the animal at their house. I have crate trained dogs before so can crate animals if needed
About: Hello, I’m Fran—a devoted dog lover and experienced guardian offering a highly personalized, in-home care experience for a select few dogs at a time. When you’re away, I offer your dog more than just care—I provide a true holiday of their own. Each dog is welcomed into a calm, thoughtfully held environment where they are not just looked after, but genuinely known, understood, and cherished. I believe we don’t own our pets—we’re entrusted with them. My role is to ensure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and deeply loved, with a sense of ease and belonging. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Each one arrives with their own story and personality, and it’s a joy to watch them settle in, open up, and truly thrive. Because I work with a limited number of families, I’m able to offer an experience that is unhurried, intuitive, and deeply personal—something both dogs and their people can feel completely at ease with. If you’re seeking a more intentional, personalized experience for your dog, I invite you to get in touch and explore availability. I understand schedules vary and sometimes life presents surprises where we need to find someone to care for our beloved pup at the last minute. I work remotely with a flexible schedule. Let me help you when you need it most. Every day, I plan activities to engage their brains and exercise their bodies, often involving adventures through the neighborhood, trips to the fenced dog park, and visits to the river on hot days. At the end of the day, we enjoy healthy treats that I prepare myself, which also engage their brains and senses. I live in Vancouver, Washington, with my 8-year-old black lab mix, Murphy, who loves humans and other dogs and is non-aggressive. My home is well-maintained with a large deck where dogs can play and relax.I work from home which means your 'kids' are never left alone for long periods.
“Remi is great. Mac can be shy with new people, but he took to them immediately. They’re also super communicative and dependable! I will definitely reach out to them again for Mac care.”
About: I am a dog mom to a young Mini Aussie and Cavalier mix. I have raised her since she was 8 weeks. I also have experience puppy and dog sitting for my friends and neighbors dogs. This includes walks, feeding, playtime, medication, cleaning, and car rides. I have volunteered at local animal shelters to take dogs on neighborhood walks to enrich their day and to help them get adopted. I have taken dogs on hikes and are aware of walking safety and managing dog interactions. I have a flexible work schedule as I work from home. I can be available for a single walk per day or multiple drop in visits per day. Monday and Thursday 9:30am-11am are the only times I will not be available. I can be available to a limited amount of repeat visits per week. Please reach out regarding schedule and booking questions. I understand as a dog parent that sometimes you are needing immediate pet care. I am a reliable, generous and fun dog mom. I will be offering drop in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting from my own home. My home has a fenced outdoor space, open space downstairs and upstairs for dogs to play. I have a very social and friendly dog that gets along with every dog she meets. We have many blankets and you are welcome to bring over any of your dogs favorite beds and comfort toys. I always have kibble and dog treats and feeding bowls on hand. Please feel free to bring your own as well.
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds including dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, birds, and invertebrates. I’ve also worked at a pet store for the last year and a half so I have some knowledge on freshwater fish as well as experience administering medications to animals. I’m currently only working part time, about 12-18 hours a week, so I have more than enough time to check on and play with your pets! I’m super flexible and want to do anything I can to make sure your pets are as comfortable and happy as they possibly can be while their humans aren’t home!
“He was very communicative and even did extra things that I forgot to ask him to do in the midst of travel prep — e.g., taking out my garbage bins. Highly recommend!”
“Tayla is wonderful! I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. I felt at ease knowing she spent quality time with my feline friend and she was attentive to take care of everything he needed and a variety of play options. Excellent communication and also sends lots of cute pics”
“Jocelyn was amazing! She made sure my pets had everything they needed. She played with them, fed them and notified me on important information. Would highly recommend. I wouldn’t feel better leaving my pets with anyone else!”
“Autumn is the sweetest! She is a great communicator and made sure that our baby was well taken care of. She goes above and beyond and I know Tobie can’t wait to see her again. Thank you so much Autumn!”
About: I've spent the last 14 years working in veterinary medicine, caring for pets through every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior companions and pets with medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets with chronic health conditions, and recognizing when something doesn't seem quite right. What I enjoy most is getting to know each pet as an individual. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I believe those details matter. My goal is to provide the same level of thoughtful, compassionate care I'd want for my own pets, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're in capable hands. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care, plenty of attention, and regular updates throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, enrichment activities, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for company, I'm happy to adjust my care to fit their routine. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any medical or behavioral needs before every booking. If your pet is staying in my home, they'll have plenty of opportunities for play, enrichment, rest, and affection in a calm environment. To help keep everyone safe—including my own two dogs—I currently only accept small dogs (up to 30 lbs) for boarding and daycare, and I require a meet-and-greet before every boarding stay. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I do my best to keep their daily routine as consistent as possible while respecting your home and following your instructions carefully.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vancouver
Jordan was incredible with our animals and treated them like family. He was incredibly responsive, respectful of the house and property but above all a dog whisperer for our extremely anxious pup. He went above and beyond to make sure their needs were met and even spoke to them so sweetly, no matter how much they ran away from him! I cannot recommend him enough and look forward to a long lasting partnership for our travel and business trip needs! Thank you Jordan for finally providing some peace of mind that there was a perfect fit for our small petting zoo!!
Absolutely amazing! Responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Asked lots of questions during the meet and greet to make sure my pups would be well taken care of. My pups warmed up to her instantly and I got the cutest pictures during her visit. 10/10 would recommend!
My girls and I love Megan! She takes such good care of my babies and is excellent at communication. I never feel like I have to worry when im away because she asks any necessary clarifying questions and spoils them with walks and affection! I wouldn't hesitate to use her again!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Vancouver choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
