“We have boarded our dog with Priyanka for many times now. Our little guy is always so excited to be dropped off at Priyanka’s! She sends pictures and updates for you to feel worry free. Highly recommend!!”
“We can't thank Melanie and her husband enough for taking such great care of Obie, our 1.5-year-old Maltipoo, while we were off getting married. From the start, they were so kind and attentive to him and his preferences and were great at sending us regular updates, which gave us peace of mind during such a hectic time. It was clear that Obie felt right at home with them, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to them again—Melanie and her husband were absolutely amazing!”
“Angela and her family took great care of Neko! It was clear they made him feel at home and I was very comfortable leaving him in her care. I definitely recommend Angela to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment to leave their fur baby!”
“Thank you so much for taking good care of our Simba. He was so happy staying with you and seemed so comfortable in your home. We will book again for sure! Thanks again”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Matthew! From the very beginning, communication was clear and professional. Throughout our time away, he sent daily updates along with the sweetest photos of our dog, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our pup was in great hands and getting lots of love and attention. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog—and that says it all! Highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking again! Thank you Matthew!!!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Manvi for our dog! From day one, it felt like we were leaving him with a trusted family member. Manvi treated him like her own, showing genuine care and affection. We loved getting frequent updates with lots of pictures and videos of their walks and playtime—it completely put our minds at ease. He absolutely loved his stay, and we will definitely be booking with Manvi again.”
“Samson had an amazing time with Karen and her family! The pictures she sent made me unsure that Samson would want to come home! Lol. I wholeheartedly recommend Karen to look after your fur kids! Samson is already looking forward to staying with her again!”
“What can I say other than a fabulous care giver. Her two dogs bonded with my French bulldog and shipoo. They followed her around, they slept in her bed with her doggies. I have photos of them playing with my doggies. All four dogs had personalities that one matched one doggie of hers and same with the other. My dogs showed happiness to see me on pick up but my shipoo ran to me and back to Kelley. I saw them playing with their own toys I brought. Really the transition was not far off by how I take care of them. It was a pairing made in heaven. My doggies were on vacation too! Kelley deeply cared for my dogs welfare. So from one nurse (me), to another retired nurse, Kelley, you win the award of the year for best care. I bough to you. Bravo. Hope to see you again. Xoxo”
“Lynn was great with Coco. She walked couple regularly and gave us several updates on how she was doing and sent us some pictures. Thank you so much Lynn. We will book you again!”
“I am very sensitive when it comes to my dog, Napoleon—a small, lovely Chihuahua who means the world to me. It was important for me to find someone who would watch him closely and care for him with attention and kindness. After searching through many profiles, I chose Alfonso, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Alfonso kept me updated daily, making me feel at ease while I was away. He took great care of Napoleon, ensuring he was safe, comfortable, and well looked after. When I returned, I could see that Napoleon liked him and felt completely at ease with him. Alfonso is truly caring and attentive—you can trust him to take excellent care of your pet!”
About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Golden Retrievers. Years of living with more sensitive family dogs taught me to read body language closely, and I bring that same attentiveness to every walk and play session. I'll always work to earn your pet's trust and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care! I work from home with flexible hours, and pet care fits naturally into my day alongside my own cat. I'm used to building routines around a pet's needs, so incorporating yours is a straightforward task. Cats boarding in my home get their own dedicated space until they're ready to explore and meet Nuri (my cat) on their own terms. Dogs have the run of the place, with regular outdoor potty breaks throughout the day. All pets are welcome on the bed/any furniture. During drop-in visits, I'm happy to give them my full, undivided attention for the entire visit (if they want it, that is).
About: I’ve taken care of animals, included long term overnight stay since my teenage years. I’m an animal lover through in through, pets are the best I have a flexible remote job, and therefore I am available any time of day with sufficient notice for walks or pop ins, day and night. Having cats of my own, my house is already pet friendly. I have nearby dog parks and I am willing to go on long walks to keep your pet happy.
“I’m so pleased with the experience I had with Jayna! I left my 1 year old Westie and a very new to me rescue pup in her care. I was anxious leaving both for the night. Jayna and her partner Lyndon were extremely warm and understanding about my situation. They sent me pictures of the dogs’ outings throughout the stay. It was great getting the updates (plus my pups looked like they were having the best time!). I’d confidently leave my pups with Jayna anytime!”
“Amazing amazing amazing. Alison knew what she was doing. Ruby had a blast. She went above and beyond with our pup. Kind and warmhearted, and kept us informed of how Ruby was doing. I would recommend her to anyone. She was great!!!”
“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.”
“Sandra took great care of our dog, Coco. She was very flexible with pickup and drop off timing which ensured we were not rushed on the way back home from our trip. She provided plenty of updates including photos of Coco; this gave us the peace of mind that Coco was in great company. We will definitely reach out to Sandra again if we’re traveling across the border and need a sitter in Hamilton.”

We had a wonderful experience! Barbara was so friendly, warm, and welcoming. She even met with us in advance of our booking, which gave us so much peace of mind considering this was our first time using Rover. During the 5 days our dog Franklin was with her, Barb communicated often and sent updates, which we really appreciated. Most importantly, our dog seemed to have a great time! Would definitely recommend and book again.
Highly recommend Angela - our two dogs came home VERY happy after a week stay. You can tell Angela and her family are dog lovers! They have a lovely property with lots of room for the pups to run around, and Angela was very responsive sending photos and updates. We couldn't be happier! Thank you again!!
This was my first time booking with Viktoriya, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! My two young Frenchies had an amazing time — they came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. Viktoriya was incredibly punctual and professional, and I really appreciated the updates she sent while I was away. It made such a difference knowing they were in good hands. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her in the near future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Ancaster on Rover is $38.85 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,421 sitters on Rover offering Pet Boarding across Ancaster. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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 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.
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 .
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.
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.
