“Shannon was great with our 5-month-old Border Collie puppies for a 3-day house/dog sit. They are a handful, and both dogs and house were in great shape, upon our return. Shannon is punctual and a solid communicator. Highly recommended.”
“Anthea took such wonderful care of my dogs, and of my home! She went above and beyond to care for my two older dogs, making sure they got lots of walks and took their medication, just to name a few things. I swear my house was cleaner coming home than when I left it; completely unnecessary, but so so appreciated after a long trip. My partner and I particularly loved the nightly updates complete with notes from the day and lots of pictures. We’ve had a couple terrible experiences leaving our pets in the past, but Anthea was so on top of everything we really were able to relax while we were away. Thank you again!!”
“Thank you so much for the care for our senior cats, our chickens, rabbits, and home. Our home was so well cared for and clean, and thanks again for the delicious treat you left us! I would definitely recommend Felicia to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter.”
“Kathryn was the most amazing dog sitter we could have asked for! She was attentive, had great communication, and gave our pup a lot of exercise. So so appreciative of her!”
“Heather took great care of our house and our high-maintenance pups while we were away for a few days. She made sure that they had steady check-ins during the day, snuggles and walks. The dogs loved having her and Max was mopey after she left. I think he liked making a new friend. We would definitely use Heather again!”
“Janexis and Zach were wonderful with helping take care of my reactive and anxious pit mix, Minnie. They sent just the right amount of updates, and she looked so happy and at home with each picture! They kept me at ease the entire time. They were also flexible when I needed to extend their care, and left my place cleaner than I left for them! I will definitely use them to care for my pup in the future.”
“I highly recommend Rachel as a dogsitter. Knowing she was taking care of our sweet girl while we were on vacation for 10 days gave us peace of mind and made it possible for us to be away and not be stressed! She sent adorable photos and updates, and took such good care of her.”
“Two words. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. "I had such a wonderful experience with Steele! One of the highlights was receiving daily photo updates—it was the best part of my day and really put my mind at ease. It was so clear from the pictures that my dogs were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I returned home to very relaxed Finnegan and Lucy. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Steele again!"”
“Amy was so great. She was caring and attentive with our two dogs and she took great care of our home. She was great with communication and I felt very confident with her staying in our home. She left the house clean and tidy and the girls were very happy. I’d highly recommend Amy and will definitely use her again.”
“Makayla did a great job with our fur family of 3 dogs and 2 cats. Good communicator, followed directions and problem solved well. House was just as we left it and all the pets were well taken care of. Will definitely use Makayla again!”
“Eva was fantastic! She was able to help me out on very short notice for the Thanksgiving break. She was in constant communication with me the entire time and showed pictures of the pups hanging out with her at the house. She was house sitting as well and kept the house super clean for me to come back to. I will rebook again any time I need someone to care for my pups 👌🏼”
“Peyton was very communicative and sent daily updates and pictures. He left our house very clean and the dogs seemed super happy and very well cared for. We left for a little over a week and couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter. It made our trip much more enjoyable not feeling like we had to worry about the dogs.”
“Sierra was perfect for my high-energy puppy. She completely understood how demanding a young dog can be, making sure he got plenty of exercise and playtime. The photo updates she sent were fantastic and so fun to receive. I came home to a spotless house and a very tired, happy dog. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Vicky, was amazing! This was the first time we left our pets alone with anyone outside of family and she made the decision stress free. She met with us the day prior to discuss what was expected and I immediately felt comfortable with her. She asked questions and was genuinely interested in making sure are pets and home were taking care of. Her updates while we were away made our trip worry free as we knew our fur babies were in good hands. Even our cat who normally hides from strangers was comfortable with her! We will definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Erin was awesome and took great care of our dogs. Did a great job walking a large pit bull and stubborn bull dog. Gave us regular updates. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Jillian did a great job taking care of Dottie. She asked a lot of important questions to make sure she understood and provide the best care she could. I would hire her again or refer her in the future.”

We couldn't be happier with the care our pets received! They were incredibly reliable, communicative, and sent the cutest daily photo updates. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our fur babies were in such loving hands while we were away. Highly recommend.
We couldn’t be happier with the care Malaya provided for our pup, Luna, and our home. She stayed at our house, sent regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away, and took wonderful care of Luna. She also watered my plants, and everything looked healthy when we returned. Our home was just as clean and well cared for as when we left it. We would gladly trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter.
Michelle was awesome. She was responsive during the booking process and provided regular updates during the stay. The house was in good shape and the dogs seemed very happy. We would 100% use her again and highly recommend her services to anyone who needs pet/house sitting.
Went above and beyond watching our two dogs. We had a very last minute trip planned the day before we left and Kayden was very professional and quick to respond. Our two dogs were super happy and clearly very comfortable and well taken care of when we got home. We got lots of pictures and videos throughout our trip and got regular updates on how the dogs were doing. He followed all instructions and even our smaller dog who can be shy and afraid of new people became his shadow and played with him the whole time we were gone. Kayden even left our house cleaner than when he arrived. He is clearly very compassionate and caring towards animals and we will definitely hire him again for our next trip!
Stephanie was wonderful. She was able to help me out for two days at very last minute. She communicates clearly and timely and followed through with what she said she'd do and when she'd be here. The house was just as clean as I had left it and she even put the laundry she used into the washer for me. I'd highly recommend using her for your animal care. Simple and seamless.
Martha was fantastic! She house sat for our dog Georgie and our 3 kitties. Our 13 year old kitty needs a number of medications and special diet instructions and Georgie also needs medications, and Martha handled everything with ease. She took Georgie on daily walks and played with her in our yard when it wasn't raining. She sent daily updates and pictures, and was very communicative. There were a few small things for the house we asked her to do (like roll our garbage bins) which we were very grateful she did. She left our house just the way we left it, and you would have never known someone was staying with us. Our pets were so at ease when we got home because she spent so much time with them during our trip. We highly recommend Martha!
Madelyn was seriously amazing with my dog, Tuna 🥹 This was my first time ever leaving him with someone, and I was honestly really nervous, but she made me feel so comfortable the entire time. She sent me tons of pictures and updates, and he looked like he was having the best day ever. I didn’t feel worried at all while he was with her. I was even late picking him up, and she was super understanding and kind about it. Tuna came home completely tired out from all the fun 😂 I would absolutely trust her with him again and definitely recommend her!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Vancouver
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Vancouver on Rover is $53.06 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 House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,510 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vancouver. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Vancouver walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Vancouver maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Vancouver. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
