“Kayden was kind enough to help me out last minute when I had to travel. He was very polite and willing to help out with special the special needs of one of my dogs. I highly recommend Kayden.”
“Felicia did an amazing job of taking care of my cat, Bean, while I was away. She was punctual, reliable, and so lovely to work with. Bean has some ridiculous needs/wants and Felicia went through each one and made sure she as well-fed, cared for, petted, played with, etc. My favorite part of it was Felicia sent me a detailed Rover card with each visit, giving me peace-of-mind. She also took amazing photos, which were so great to receive while away. 200% would book again!”
“Bond is never happy to have his regular staff away, but he seemed happy when we got home so Emily apparently was a good substitute! Emily had good communication and sent photos daily.”
“We had a great experience hiring Marta for our two shihtzus. She was easy to communicate with and we appreciated her professionalism! We love that she sent photo updates while we were gone, it assured us that our pups were safe & happy! She will be our go-to dog sitter for all future trips!”
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!
“Claire is an all-around excellent petsitter. She’s intuitive, flexible, and reassuring, which is nice for people who have pet separation anxiety when traveling. I highly recommend her and will gratefully utilize her again.”
About: I’m a seasoned house and pet sitter for friends, families, and—over the past year—through TrustedHousesitters. I’ve cared for everything from high‑energy puppies to senior pets who need a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra patience. Having my own pets with their own unique tendencies has made me great at reading an animal’s personality and adapting to what helps them feel safe and relaxed. I keep routines consistent, follow instructions closely, and treat your home with the same respect I give your pets. My goal is always to make sure your animals feel secure and cared for while you’re away, and that you feel fully at ease knowing they’re in good hands. Pet care fits really naturally into my week. I’m already out and about most mornings, so adding walks or drop‑ins feels like a comfortable part of my day. I plan my schedule so I’m never rushed, and when I’m with someone’s pet, they get my full attention — whether that’s a walk, playtime, or just some calm company. I’m used to building my day around animals, so their routine just becomes part of mine. I care for pets in their home the same way I care for my own — with consistency, attention, and a calm presence. I follow your routines so everything feels familiar to your pet, keep feeding and potty schedules on track, and make sure they get the right mix of walks, play, and quiet company. I’m also mindful of your home and keep things tidy, so you come back to a clean, relaxed space. When I’m with your pet, they get my full focus and a steady, reassuring person in their day.
“Sadie was so helpful making daily drop-ins on our cat, while we were away. She was gracious in having to clean up quite a few messes he made, she made sure his food, water, and litter box were kept fresh, and she spent some time with him each day to keep him from getting too lonely. She was very easy to communicate with during our trip. Thank you, Sadie for taking such good care of our kitty!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I grew up with both cats and dogs, and over the years I've pet sat for family and friends, as well as walked dogs while I was in college. One of my favorite experiences was fostering cats with my husband—we came incredibly close to "foster failing" and adopting them ourselves! The only reason we didn't was because we were preparing to move abroad. Now that we're back home, we miss having animals in our daily lives, and Rover is the perfect way for me to spend time with pets while helping their owners. I'm an active person who played Division II soccer in college, so I'm always happy to take energetic dogs on long walks, runs, or adventures outside. Whether your pet loves playing, exploring, or just curling up for some company, I'm happy to meet them where they're most comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I'll care for your pets as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. My schedule is flexible since I work as a freelance Project Manager. Mondays and Fridays are typically my most open days, but with a little advance notice, I'm often able to accommodate visits throughout the rest of the week as well. I also work from home several days a week, which gives me the flexibility to stop by for drop-in visits, walks, or check-ins during the day if you're located in the Vancouver area. If you have a specific schedule in mind, feel free to reach out—I'm happy to see if we can make it work! I'm happy to offer a wide range of Rover services, including drop-in visits, dog walking, house sitting, and pet daycare in your home. At this time, I'm not able to host pets in my own home, but I'm more than happy to come to yours. I believe pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, where they can stick to their normal routine. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, well cared for, and getting plenty of love while you're away.
About: If you are looking for a pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and provides a safe, active environment, you are in the right place! I have years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals—from dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes to chickens and other small critters. Animals are a natural part of my life, and I know exactly how to tailor my care to fit your pup's unique personality, whether they are high-energy zoomers or low-key cuddlers. To give you extra peace of mind: I spent years being trusted by families as a nanny for three different households. You can rest assured that your beloved furry family member is in incredibly capable, highly responsible hands. The best part? A fenced yard! We have a spacious, securely fenced yard with plenty of room to run. Whether your dog wants to burn off energy playing fetch or prefers to leisurely sniff around and lounge in the fresh air, they will absolutely love the outdoor space we have to offer. Working from home gives me total flexibility to adapt to your dog's established routine. I am here throughout the day to provide constant supervision, mid-day desk cuddles, and frequent potty breaks in the yard. Your pup will enjoy a highly attentive, stress-free day that perfectly balances companionable downtime with plenty of active outdoor play. I believe trust is built through absolute transparency and a controlled environment, which is why I only host one or two compatible dogs at a time. Our home is a calm, secure haven, free from the chaos of large kennels, where your dog's unique safety needs are closely monitored. To keep you connected, I provide consistent, detailed updates and photos so you always know they are safe, happy, and thriving.
“Mandi was fantastic! She made sure my kitten got plenty of exercise and stayed active, and she was incredibly responsive throughout. I felt totally at ease knowing my pet was in such caring and capable hands.”
“Jennifer is absolutely amazing. She has watched my two cats on numerous occasions since the start of this summer and it is so great to have one less thing to worry about knowing she's stopping by. She always helps with extra things like making sure my garden is watered and checking if doors were left unlocked by accident. She is incredibly flexible and is always kind enough to help when work keeps me away from home longer than expected.”
“Autumn was so amazing with our boys! We were nervous about finding someone to watch our two boys over the holidays since they are a bit roudy, and we could not have been happier with how Autumn took care of them like they were her own. She was punctual, responsive, and sent updates regularly. I kid you not our boys were depressed when we got home because they loved Autumn so much haha! Will absolutely be using her for services again!”
About: I will describe myself as friendly, responsible and playful. My family and I grew up with dogs and to this day, they are my still my best friends! We treat every dog as our own. I’m doing Rover full time and spend most of my time at home. I would be free every day except when I’m out traveling. I love going on a nice walk daily. My husband and I live in a pet-friendly apartment. My home is a clean and healthy environment. I would love to walk your dog daily and spend as much time as needed with your pet.
“Elaine was easy to communicate and very punctual. She sent photos of my dog on his walk and had no issues with my slightly tedious entry instructions to my house. I will definitely book her again!”

Cassie was recommended to me by a friend! She was so great with my senior cat who needs daily meds. Cassie had excellent communication, gave great updates, and overall put me at so much ease knowing Kitty was so well taken care of. I will definitely be using her again!
Michelle is always reliable and dependable! She consistently shows up on time and takes such great care of my cat. She gives her plenty of pets, attention, and playtime, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. I always know my cat is in good hands with Michelle!
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!
Sienna is a fantastic communicator, reliable sitter and great cat photographer! We loved getting daily updates about our kitties while traveling. It gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our trip knowing they're not just well taken care of but also spoiled 🥰 we so appreciate the quality care. Our kitties will be looking forward to future visits Sienna for sure!
Alura was very attentive to my cat, Romeo. She paid attention to detail, and asked questions if things were not clear. Romeo was very happy and seemed content and comfortable when I came home. I loved the photos she sent. I also asked Alura to water my garden and flowers, and she did a great job with that. It was very hot the week I was gone, and everything looked great when I returned.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Vancouver on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,537 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Vancouver. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Vancouver stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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. 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.
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
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
