We will be using Rie and Masahiro again when we need dog sitting!”
“Janice was super with our cat! She gave her some time outside, which Jackie loves. She made herself right at home and cuddled with Janice. From the pictures she sent us, we could tell that she felt very comfortable with her. Janice gave her the medication she needs, and looked after her meal requirements. We have full confidence in bringing Jackie back for another visit.”
“Priyanka took exceptional care of Casper, providing frequent updates and pictures. It was his first time staying with anyone else and we could see that he was happy and well cared for. I think he’s missing her now that he’s back home, lol. Already rebooked for our next trip. Thank you so much Priyanka!”
“Thank you so much for watching our puppy Lulu. She had a great time with all the dogs, who tuckered her out. Bill is very responsive and provided photos during her stay so we knew how she was doing. He was very organized with dedicated indoor and outdoor space and with feeding schedules.”
“Shelly and her family were absolutely wonderful with Phoebe! We were able to enjoy our holiday completely stress-free, knowing she was in such safe and loving hands. They treated Phoebe like one of their own, and it was so clear how well cared for she was. We would absolutely trust them with her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”

“I had a wonderful experience with Seema and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for my dog, Max. From the moment we met, she was very friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Max was dropped off at 7:30 in the morning and picked up at 7:30 in the evening, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands throughout the day. Seema was extremely caring and loving toward Max. He had a great time playing fetch with her and was walked multiple times during the day. She made sure he was fed properly and well taken care of. Max also made a new friend, Yogi—an 11-month-old Golden Retriever—and they had an amazing time together, playing and running around in the backyard, even enjoying the snow. It was clear from the updates and interactions that Max was happy, comfortable, and well behaved in her care. I truly appreciate the attention, love, and dedication Seema showed. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Max and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Amanda and Bryan are amazing! My boxer is a little timing, needing extra love and care and Amanda and her family were so great with him. They treated him like their own, so much so that he was so sad coming home. I would absolutely recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to board with them in the future!”
“Yasemine and Daniel are fantastic! They took the time to learn about my dog and all of her particular needs. They sent lots of updates. I did not have to worry about her at all while we were away. Zaffy had a great time and I would highly recommend them!”

We felt so comfortable with her with Chetan and would not hesitate to recommend him to all of our friends!! Thank you again for being so great with our girl!!”
“Fabulous care! I have 2 friendly but energetic dogs, and had never left them with anyone for longer than a day, but needed to go to California for 10 days to support a friend whose husband had passed away. I was nervous about leaving them, but Lina's friendly and professional attitude made me feel confident that the dogs were in good care. She gave me updates, asked questions if needed, and followed my advice (to get one of my dogs to go downstairs). Extremely happy with the care the dogs received, and I highly recommend her as a loving and knowledgeable dogsitter. Thanks, Lina!”
“Manvi and her family took wonderful care of Tamarind. From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in a loving, welcoming and dog loving home. Everyone showed him so much affection and attention, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I requested morning and evening updates, and Manvi was great at keeping me informed with regular photos, videos, and messages about how he was doing. When I picked him up he was happy, relaxed, and did not want to leave! He ate well during his stay, looked healthy, and showed no signs of stress or anxiety. He’s now fast asleep at home, which tells me he had a wonderful time and plenty of fun. I highly recommend Manvi to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Manvi and family for taking such great care of Tamarind!”
“Pruthu is very responsive and flexible to our requests, and took great care of our dog. He is also experienced with dog training, and our dog had a great time during the stay! Will definitely book again if he is available in the future.”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with family dogs and have had dogs of my own since 2009. I currently have two Golden Retrievers and have done extensive training with them over the years, including agility and rally obedience. I’ve been caring for and boarding dogs for many years and understand that every dog comes with their own personality, routine and comfort level. Because I work from home, I’m able to be present throughout the day and give your dog plenty of attention, companionship and care. My biggest priority is creating a calm, loving family environment where your dog can settle in, feel comfortable and be treated like one of our own. I work from home, which allows me to be available throughout the day. I live with my husband, and our two (adult) children, so there is often someone around to keep our four-legged guests company. Our dogs are a big part of our everyday family life, and any dogs staying with us are welcomed and included just the same. We have a fully fenced yard and two friendly Golden Retrievers who are used to having other dogs around. Dogs are welcome to make themselves at home, and we can easily accommodate a crate if that’s part of their normal routine.
“Maria and Oscar where so amazing with lulu! She was so happy and instantly happy and comfortable with them! She got adventures and I had many photo updates :) Highly recommend and I will definitely come back to them!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Ancaster is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ancaster
Nigel and his family treated Tux with so much love and care, Tux went on many walks ,had plenty of room in the house and had a great backyard to play in !. Tux absolutely loved playing with Ozzy and Nigels daughter, the family was absolutely sweet and loving, Tux was sad to come back,we look forward to returning for any needed stays! We would recommend Nigel to anyone looking for a great loving family to leave their pet with!
I had absolutely no worries leaving our dog with Sophie and Lucas. Their own dog is a sweetheart, and an excellent playmate. They provided pictures regularly so that I could see that our puppy was healthy and happy. She received regular walks and it was very clear that she felt at home there. I would book again with them without a doubt.
This was our first time leaving our puppy. Barbara was a perfect fit. We had a meet and greet before hand and I felt very comfortable leaving Bentley in her care while we would be away. I did not worry about him at all while we were gone, I knew he was getting lots of love and care and that was worth so much for me as I tend to be an anxious person. I would not hesitate to recommend Barbara to anyone, and I am certain Bentley will be thrilled to return to her the next time we go away.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ancaster 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 Ancaster
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:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
