“We left our dog Cheeto with Yanfei for almost 2 weeks while we went on vacation and he had the best time with Kyle! As always, Yanfei was responsive, sent frequent updates (both photo and video) and took care of Cheeto as if he was her own. We are SO appreciative and thankful we found someone so kind and caring! Cheeto is excited for his next play date!”

“Remston and Candela are so great with Teddy. Teddy's a bit anxious but he is so comfortable at Candela and Remston's place. We get lots of pictures of how much fun Teddy is having. They take him on long walks at the beach and ravine. We're so lucky to have found Candela and Remston and are already in the process of booking them again! Thanks Candela and Remy!”
“I will always be grateful to Bill and Norma for taking such great care of Asher, our 3.5 month old puppy. As a puppy who isn't potty trained completely, I was anxious about how he would be received but Bill and Norma were so understanding and kind from start to finish. They looked after Asher as their own and kept him happy, healthy and loved in our absence. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for support with their fur babies! I know this won't be the last time we get their help with watching Asher...”
“Eva was so great with our lab! We booked her last minute after our regular sitter fell through. She kept us updated with photos, and our dog came home happy and tired. We’d definitely book with her again!”
“Our pup Rory just completed a 5 day stay with Melissa and Nigel. They both went above and beyond to make her feel happy and secure - the photos they took clearly showed how comfortable Rory was. If you ever need dog sitting - don’t hesitate to reach out to Melissa and Nigel.”
“Natalie and Daniel, took very good care of our pets! We received daily photos and updates and could tell that our animals were comfortable and felt right at home. We are truly grateful to have found this family through this app. We highly recommend them as pet sitters and if we need to, we will use their services in the future.”
“Kumudini took care of our pup like he was hers. She sent pictures and videos regularly and you could see how happy he was to be with her. She listened to all our instructions for care and went above and beyond to look after him. I will definitely rebook and absolutely trust her with our fur baby.”

“I cannot say enough about how phenomenal Nikki and Deven were in caring for our miniature Schnauzer, Jack, for two weeks. They kindly arranged a meet-and-greet beforehand and kept us updated throughout his stay with so many thoughtful messages and photos. It was abundantly clear that Jack received exceptional care, with plenty of walks, stimulation, activities and affection. His stay was like a bespoke puppy summer camp, and he has been sulking a little since coming home! If you’re looking for wonderful, trustworthy dog care, look no further. Nikki and Deven clearly care deeply about animals, and our whole family is incredibly grateful for the love and attention they gave Jack. They will absolutely be our first call whenever we need dog care again. Thank you so much again Nikki and Deven!!!”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and a wide range of exotic species, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior and a commitment to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. I’ve worked with pets of all temperaments, ages, and needs—and I take pride in creating a calm, comfortable environment for every animal I look after. I previously owned and operated a business specializing in training large-breed dogs with behavioral issues, giving me advanced skills in handling reactive, anxious, and strong-willed dogs with confidence and patience. This background allows me to support even the most complex behavioral or routine needs. I also have personal experience caring for special-needs pets and senior animals, including those requiring medication, mobility support, or extra time and understanding. I know how important consistency, gentleness, and attentive observation are when supporting pets who need a little more care. Whether it’s maintaining daily routines, providing enrichment, addressing behavioral needs, or simply offering love and reassurance, I am dedicated to ensuring your pets feel safe, respected, and truly cared for while you’re away. Your pets are family—and I’m here to treat them as my own. I currently work from home and have a senior shepherd x rottie. I am here to keep your pets routine as consistent as possible with as much exercise and enrichment as they require. I take my time to ensure that I leave your home as I found it, making sure to clean up any messes your pet may make and accidents do happen!
“Maria is wonderful! She watched our dog for 5 days while we were away and sent many pictures and updates. Mipha came home happy and pooped! We are very grateful to have found someone so close by who can take such wonderful care of our dog!”
“Kavik stayed with Hao and his family for 10 days and he was very comfortable. Pictures and videos also helped reassure us that Kavik was having a great time with daily walks and different playmates. :) We highly recommend Hao for dog sitting.”
“Wonderful stay - the little one fell asleep in the car on the way home, telling me she had tons of fun and kept super busy during her stay! Pics let us know they we're happy while we were away - thank you for keeping them so well!”
“Hayley took such great care of Ella while we were away. She updated us daily with pictures and comments. She was very caring and loving towards my dog. Her and Jake kept Ella happy and entertained and even took her for an outing to the waterfront! I look forward to using Hayley again and would highly recommend her :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ajax
This was the first time I boarded my 4-month old puppy, Tilly. She did pretty good considering it was her first time away from us. She had a few accidents in the house, but Karen was completely understanding. Karen did everything to make Tilly's stay as comfortable in as possible and to comfort her so she wasn't missing us too much. I highly recommend Karen for your daycare/boarding needs.
Everything happens for a reason and I’m so thankful to have found Lisseth as a sitter for my dog and kitten. I only had a few days to find a sitter as a previously booked one had to cancel and Lisseth graciously accepted my last minute request. She is kind, friendly and patient and my pets were given excellent care. I received pictures and videos of my pets and I honestly can’t even put into words how wonderful of a sitter Lisseth is. I am forever grateful ❤️
We’ve had Jackson stay with Erin twice now, and both experiences have been wonderful. We were honestly a little skeptical about whether Jackson would be comfortable staying overnight, especially after a less-than-great experience with another Rover sitter back in 2022. But Erin completely changed that. Jackson settled in quickly, was very comfortable with Erin, her family, and her dog Callie, and clearly enjoyed his stays. We’re planning a three-week trip to India next year, so we wanted to find someone Jackson could get comfortable with well in advance. After these two stays, we feel we’ve found the right person. We’ll be having him stay with Erin regularly so her home can become his comfortable “second home.” Erin has been fantastic with Jackson, and we highly recommend her!
Mandeep was fantastic with our dog! He took great care of him and kept us updated throughout his stay with pictures and messages, which we really appreciated. Our dog seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we picked him up. Mandeep was friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with. We would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him!
i felt so at peace leaving my sweet honey in the care of stacey! right from the meet and greet i could see her love for animals and her experience. she was honest, detail oriented, and asked great questions. throughout honey's stay, stacey sent me updates and photos of how honey was doing! i will definitely rebook with stacey when i need care again, and would highly recommend her!
Yvonne and Troy were wonderful with my 2 dogs. They provided a special care for my senior dog that required a lot os attention. They were communicating with me providing updates and handle my other anxious dog with lots of love. We were really happy with all and my dogs too. Thank you 🙏 both.
I’m really happy with the care my puppy received. Carlo spent a lot of time with her, took her on walks, and made sure she wasn’t left alone feeling lonely. It was obvious that he genuinely cared about her well-being, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She came home happy and relaxed. I’d definitely trust him with her again. Thank you!
She was our first dog sitter through the Rover app, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She took such great care of our dog, and we could tell Jasper had a fantastic time while we were away. She also kept us updated with texts, videos, and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We would definitely love to book her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ajax on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ajax home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 favourite hang-out spots in your Ajax
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 86% 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.
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.
