“Felicia was great to work with. She was communicative, kind, and professional. She was quick to reply to messages and I appreciated the narrative updates she sent while I was away. I would definitely hire her to take care of my cat again!”
“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!”
“Claire took great care of our two cats while we were away! She provided really detailed report cards with photos each day. It was a relief knowing that our babies were well taken care of. We'll definitely see if Claire's available next time we head out of town!”
About: My name is Kaycie I would love to tell you a bit about my background so you feel more comfortable leaving your fur babies with me. I have been working with pets since my childhood. My mother never really turned down any animals my sister or I wanted to bring home. We lived in a rural town so having sorts of livestock was very common. In elementary school I was always one to sign up to bring home the class pet. We've raised ducks and chickens in our backyard, alongside a giant toad who would be alongside the poultry in the garden. I helped my neighbor with her pot belly pig Rosie time and time again as she would try to escape under the fence to roam the city. I've spent time tending to horses in the stables and our family has always had a dog if not multiple in the home. Now we currently have only one dog at home. He is a 5 yr old Corgi/Dachshund who brings my family so much love and joy. He is very spunky, active, and loves being around other kids/animals. He loves car rides and pup cups from the local coffee shop and would love to make a new friend. We also have 4 chickens and 2 ducks in our urban farm household. I do have 3 children, ages ranging from 9-17. They are pet lovers with my middle daughter aspiring to become a police officer with a K-9 companion, or a veterinarian. All 3 of them love to snuggle up with the dogs and cats in our lives whenever they get the chance. We do have a 4 ft fenced in front yard, a lead, and access to multiple parks within walking distance. Being a pet owner, as well as a parent, I understand wanting to keep your pets safe and happy. If your pet has a bathing schedule or needs a trip to the clinic, I'd be happy to help with that as well. I have no problem using special supplies or instructions when it comes to taking care of your pet. We can't wait to meet you and your fur baby/babies sometime soon! I am currently working part time during the week and am looking to see some fur babies Sun,Mon or Fri-Sat between the hours of 9-1. Exceptions apply just reach out and let's talk! Like stated above, I have a 4ft chain link fenced in front yard, with a lead(s) if needed. I have 2 different size crates (small & lg). I have an enclosed open basement for rainy days and we need to get some playtime/energy out that is pet friendly. There are also a few different parks within walking distance that are fun for the dogs.
“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.”
“Acoya was amazing!! Super flexible and made us feel at ease while traveling. We were so comfortable we extended our trip. Many thanks to Acoya for the amazing care she gave to my cats :)”
About: I’m a lifelong pet parent who has never lived without a furry companion by my side. My hands-on experience includes raising puppies, establishing reliable house routines, and navigating specific training and behavioral needs with my own dogs. I continuously invest time in reading training literature and attending webinars to ensure I use patient, positive-reinforcement techniques. You can count on me to respect your existing training cues, keep your pup physically and mentally engaged, and deliver detailed daily check-ins for complete peace of mind. I work from home with full control over my work calendar, allowing me to provide frequent potty breaks, active walks, and dedicated companionship all day. I mirror your pet's familiar routines in your home, providing structured leashed walks, timely feeding, clean spaces, and loving companionship while keeping your home secure.
“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!!”

“Sammy is always a stellar cat sitter. She makes sure my cats have love, playtime, and food anytime I’m away. Sammy is nothing but kind, responsive, and takes great pride in coming over to check on my “kids” when I’m away. Thank you Sammy!”
“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.”

Emily was great! She was really on top of everything in the app and was very communicative and responsive throughout. I felt completely comfortable entrusting her with Lola’s care, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely use her again!
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!

Thank you Jordan for finally providing some peace of mind that there was a perfect fit for our small petting zoo!!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Vancouver is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 6,551 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Vancouver. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
