“Could not be happier with the service provided. Our boy Gus has been back three times now. This last time for 11 days while we were away on holidays. They updated us often with pictures. Gus being a very rambunctious 14 month old lab is notoriously bad on a leash. After his prolonged stay he was noticeably better on his leash and continues to be. Would recommend for sure.”
“Geo and Amanda were great! Lots of pictures sent for updates the dogs were extremely comfortable and happy to be with them. We’ve already rebooked for the next time! Thanks so much”
“Dale is awesome with pets. Our baby had a great time and we had a peace of mind during our vacation since we were sure that he was in the best hands. Thank you so much Dale.”
“This is our 4th time using Sheila's services. Riley gets so excited each time she gets to stay. It feels like a home away from home for her. We always know Riley is loved and well cared for. No hesitation in rebooking.”
“Marc, Alysia and boys were an amazing family for our 2 dogs. They got all the extra love and care they needed and I’m so thankful. The regular pictures and updates made me feel so secure knowing they were doing well. Almost too well!!! I think my puppy Sunny would have been happy to move in permanently! Thanks again!”
“Second time leo has went over and they have made him feel right at home! What a amazing and wonderful experience it is to have a family that cares so much for your dog like its their own family! Thank you so much! Highly recommended!”
“Harry had another great stay with Rebekah! He loves her dog and her company. She sends lots of great pictures and updates so I know he is well taken care of when we are away. Thank you!”
“If you want to make sure you don’t have worries during your get away you should definitely get Natalia to watch your fur baby!!! Natalia was just fabulous! I couldn’t have been more at peace and my dog loved her and her family. I can only say good things! Highly recommended - five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Shannon was great with Aries. He was happy and got updates daily on how he was settling in and enjoying his time with Lola. So glad we could enjoy our week away knowing he was being loved and cared for so well.”
“I highly recommend Hanna. She took such good care of my dogs. Both my dogs have separation anxiety but she made them both very comfortable. I could tell they were both extremely happy. She sent us pics everyday. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Would certainly be going back to her in the future as well.”
“Michelle had our dogs for over 3 days so we could attend a wedding. She was great, keeping us. posted of both dogs, communicating every single aspect and giving us peace of mind. I highly recommend Michelle. Thank you so much!”
“Thank you for taking care of Bagheera over the weekend! You reaching out to ask questions and sharing the amazing pictures and how he behaved showed that you cared and wanted to provide the right care for my fur baby. Appreciate it!”
“Sue watched my dog 2 weekends in a row. She was great with last minute bookings and was very flexible. She sent me updates and photos of my dog while he was with Sue. She took him for 2 walks a day. I will definitely be booking back with her when needed. He enjoyed his stay.”
About: I have been the proud pup parent to a beagle and currently a shitzu. Patience is well built in to my nature! I enjoy taking dogs out on walks, cuddles on the couch, and watching explore my fenced yard. A natural dog lover at heart, I have hosted short term and long term stays and they are always happy to return (sometimes they don’t even want to leave!) I work from home and able to provide loving care and supervision. I’ll ensure your dog is well taken care of in my air conditioned home where they can choose which dog bed to lounge on, toy to play with, front window ledge to sit on & watch the birds or chase squirrels in my yard. I will care for your pet as my own. I’d like a clear understanding of known allergies, fears (vacuum), anxious behaviour & feeding routine. I’ll follow your dog rules as best as possible, but my dog is used to sharing lots of treats lol

Trusting Bozeny with Dale was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Drop off and pick was seamless, Dale responded to my messages in a timely manner, answering any questions I had. Our flight home was delayed and Dale graciously accepted to keep Bozeny for an extra night, which reduced my stress level immensely. Bozeny came home happy and relaxed, obviously having enjoyed being spoiled by Dale.
Zoe was made to feel at home by Eduarda from the time she enters her place. Eduarda just lived Zoe, our sassy & funky maltese. definitely recommend Eduarda for your fur babies. Zoe will definitely get to stay with her more. Thank you for looking after Zoe, very grateful and appreciated!
Tristan was great with my dog Charlie, who stayed for a full weekend. Communication was easy and prompt, with some nice updates and photos throughout the weekend. Tristan's dog Fifi is very sweet, and calm, and a great companion to visiting dogs. My dog Charlie can be very nervous at first with new dogs and Fifi quickly made him feel safe and calm quickly. The pre-stay meet and greet was a very helpful touch. Charlie came home from his weekend happy and well take care of, and will definitely visit Tristan again in the future!
April was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took care of our 10-month-old puppy, Sophie, for a full week and made the entire experience stress-free. April helped us feel comfortable the whole time by sending frequent photos and videos and always responding quickly with updates. She’s incredibly calm and attentive, and it was clear she was great at understanding and meeting Sophie’s needs. Sophie had such a great week, and we could tell she was happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using April again and highly recommend her!
She was so warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. My boys can be a little apprehensive at first, but her calm, positive energy helped them relax right away. They ran into the house and immediately had the zoomies, which is not like them unless they feel completely comfortable. I could tell they felt safe and happy in her care. When I picked them up, they were tuckered out, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I really appreciate how wonderful she was with them and would absolutely recommend her.
Nikole has done an amazing job taking care of Marty for a week. He’s a high-energy pup and can definitely be a handful, but she handled him with such care and patience. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands and having fun. Her regular, detailed updates made our vacation so much more enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommend!
Cindy and Jaime are absolutely amazing dog sitters! They watched our pup Red for almost two weeks while we were away on our honeymoon and took such wonderful care of him. They were super accommodating when we needed to modify our dates and add an extra night so we could help my sister with childcare. They’ve been caring for Red since he was a puppy, and we trust them completely. They kept up with his training, sent regular updates, and always responded to messages quickly. It’s such a relief knowing our dog is in such loving and capable hands. We can’t recommend Cindy and Jaime enough to anyone looking for reliable, quality pet care! 🐾

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 Barrie 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 Barrie
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:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
