“We were thrilled to have Qian look after Cooper again, and once again, they exceeded our expectations! As our senior dog requires multiple medications and special care, it’s such a relief to know he’s in the hands of someone as attentive and compassionate as Qian. They kept us updated, ensuring we always felt connected and reassured. Cooper was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Qian’s dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals make them an incredible pet sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again and highly recommend their services!”

“Holly was extremely professional and caring upon our drop off. We really appreciated that Holly took the time to discuss and go over our senior English Bulldogs (Hank) care. We had difficulty finding a sitter for our old guy as many folks won't take a bulldog breed, we were traveling through from Nova Scotia to Niagara and became in a jam when our hotel no longer would accept animals, but Holly put our mind at ease and definitely had the experience too! ☺️ Thank you again, we are so grateful! All the best in your growing business 💕”

“I am so happy found Maria for walking my dog Stella. While Stella is An Addisonian dog who is very sensitive and gets stressed very easy, Maria was very assuring that she would take care of her ;she was extremely patient and willing to help stella become comfortable. Maria is very attentive to any requests and was very flexible to any changing in scheduling and other needs that came up ,She is prompt with replies and which made communication easy and painless.

“Leaving our 4-month-old puppy Sierra for the first time was incredibly emotional—but finding Sharath, Shruti, and their sweet dog Skye felt like a true blessing. Caring for a young puppy isn’t easy—it takes patience, presence, and a lot of heart. Not everyone is made for it, but Sharath and Shruti embraced Sierra like their own. They gave her love, structure, and joy every single day, and their updates gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. And Skye… gentle, loving Skye became Sierra’s best friend. Their bond was so genuine, it brought tears to our eyes. Watching Sierra hesitate to get back in the car when we picked her up said everything—she had truly found a second home. We’re endlessly grateful to Sharath, Shruti, and Skye for the love they gave our little girl. We are beyond grateful to Sharath and Shruti for being such warm, trustworthy, and loving souls. You gave our puppy a second home, and gave us something even more valuable—peace of mind, and a newfound family we trust completely. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience with anxious dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and letting them build trust at their own pace. Because I work from home full-time, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. They’ll receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, enrichment, and walks throughout the day. Whether your pup loves adventure or prefers a slower, quieter routine, I’m happy to match their energy level and individual needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, with plenty of updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide flexible, 24/7 care and supervision. I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, meals, and medication if needed. Because my schedule is so flexible, I can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have lots of companionship, supervision, and frequent walks throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my senior dog, who is used to having canine company. Caring for an older, more sensitive dog has given me a great understanding of anxious pets and the importance of patience and consistency. I maintain a reliable routine while staying flexible to match your pet’s schedule and individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾

“Lori is amazing! We were hesitant to leave our 1 year old lab for the first time but Lori was so welcoming and took such good care of him! Our pup has a lot of energy and she made sure to tire him out by bringing other dogs over for playtime. Lori kept us updated throughout his stay with photos & videos which we so appreciated. Thank you Lori!”

About: I’m here to make sure your pup gets the exercise, love, and attention they deserve! Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or extra cuddles, I’ll treat your baby like my own. I have a very energetic dog myself who gets excited about just about everything, so I’m used to keeping up with playful, happy pups! I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule. If you share your pup’s routine ahead of time, I will happily accommodate their feeding, walking, and play schedule to keep things consistent and comfortable for them. Please let me know your dog’s preferences, energy level, and comfort level ahead of time, and I’ll tailor our activities to make sure they have a safe, enjoyable, and comfortable time.

“Karen was truly an angel on earth while caring for our paralyzed dog, Kai. Leaving our dog in someone else’s care was understandably nerve-wracking, especially given his mobility challenges and medically prescribed daily needs. From the moment we connected with Karen, she put our minds at ease with her compassion, professionalism, and clear love for animals. She was incredibly attentive to all of his care requirements and followed his medical routine with great detail. Karen maintained constant communication throughout the stay and never hesitated to reach out if she had any questions or wanted clarification. That level of diligence meant the world to us. The photo and video updates she sent were far more frequent than we’ve experienced with other boarders, and we genuinely looked forward to each one. Seeing our dog comfortable, happy, and so well cared for gave us tremendous peace of mind. It was clear that Karen cared for our pet as if he were her own. We are so grateful for the love, patience, and dedication she showed. We would trust Karen again without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone, especially families with pets who have special medical or mobility needs.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. I’ve had dogs of my own, cared for family and friends’ dogs, and have even fostered dogs, cats, and… even ducks! Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal is different. Some need lots of exercise and playtime, some want constant cuddles, and others just need a little time to feel comfortable and settle in. I really enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. We believe in quality over quantity, which is why we only take care of one household at a time. This allows us to give your pet our full attention instead of having a house full of different animals. We are happy to accept multiple pets from the same household, so they can stay together! We also don’t currently have a dog of our own, which means there’s even more time, attention, and love to give to your dog while they’re staying with us. There is always someone home, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will always have someone around to let them outside. We have a large yard that dogs can enjoy and explore, and they absolutely love having the space to sniff around, play, and get some fresh air. For dogs who enjoy getting out and about, we also offer several walks a day. Of course, we know every dog is different, so walks are based on their age, energy level, routine, and whether they actually enjoy going for walks. If your dog would rather relax, explore the yard, play, or have some extra cuddle time, that’s perfectly fine too. Our goal is for your pet to feel like they’re having a little vacation of their own, with plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. We want this to feel like their home away from home! Pet care fits easily into our daily routine. I work part-time, and on those days my husband or mother-in-law is always home, so your dog is never without company for long. We typically go for walks in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and have a large yard for dogs to explore and enjoy. We’re also very flexible and happy to customize your dog’s routine based on their usual schedule, energy level, and what makes them most comfortable. Pets in our home are treated like family. We want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while they’re with us. We have a fully fenced yard where they can explore and be outdoors, and because we don’t currently have a dog of our own, your pup will get plenty of one on one time, and all the love they deserve!

“Highly recommend Diana and Kristoffer! This was my very first time using rover and leaving Cheerio in someone else care while I was on vacation for 10 days. I was so nervous as Cheerio is a very anxious dog but Diana and Kristoffer were fantastic! They ensured Cheerio was comfortable and they also sent daily photos and small updates. I couldn’t be more thankful and appreciative of they’re care to Cheerio. Thank you again! 🥰”

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I helped raise my childhood dog from puppyhood through their senior years, giving me firsthand experience with dogs of all ages and energy levels. Since I work remotely, I've also had the pleasure of caring for dogs for family and friends, and I always enjoy having a four-legged coworker during the day. My flexible work-from-home schedule allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I'll treat your pup like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I work remotely in a flexible role, which allows me to easily adapt to your dog's regular routine and needs. Whether your pup is used to scheduled walks, specific mealtimes, frequent potty breaks, or extra playtime, I'm able to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Because I'm home during working hours, your dog will have plenty of companionship, supervision, and opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and affection. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible while you're away. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I live on a quiet one-acre property in the countryside, which makes walks and outdoor time easy and enjoyable. I'm also within walking distance of a great local park that dogs love exploring. My home is a spacious bungalow, so there's plenty of room for your pup to relax, play, and make themselves comfortable. Since everything is accessible on the main floor, it's also a great setup for senior dogs or those who aren't fans of stairs. If your dog is crate-trained, I have lots of space to accommodate their crate as well. I know every dog has their own routine and personality, so I'll do my best to stick to what they're used to—whether that's specific mealtimes, regular walks, play sessions, or just lots of attention and cuddles. My goal is to make sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.

“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!!!”

Neera took wonderful care of our cat, Choco, for 16 nights. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with photos and messages. Since Neera has a cat of her own, she understands how to care for cats. Choco was comfortable with her and even enjoyed spending time with her cat. If we ever need a cat sitter again, we would definitely ask Neera. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Bowmanville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Bowmanville is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $67 per night. 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.

sitters in Bowmanville have an average of 12 years of experience. Each sitter has their own unique experience and skill sets for different types of pets. You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile. Look at other pet parent reviews and repeat pet parent booking rates for an idea of their pet care exp erience.

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.

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
  • 91% 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.

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.

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 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.
