“I had never boarded our 8 year old chocolate lab before so I was nervous to leave him. Kim made us feel comfortable with plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. They dogs got along great, enjoyed the whole house and she even let him sleep on the bed. I can’t say enough great things about this experience. She noticed his ears were bothering him and took the time to clean them (which he doesn’t normally let anyone do but me). Thank you Kim! ❤️”
“Shannon was absolutely fantastic with our Goose. She had him into routine in minutes and he was the happiest boy in a long time. She sent so many updates and photos and videos and I truly felt like Goose was with family while at her home.”
“Johanna is a kind and incredibly reliable dog watcher who truly treats pets like family. Cosmo needs a bit of time to trust new people, and she gave him the space, calm energy & gentle reassurance he needed. We felt completely at ease knowing she respected his personality, made him feel safe and comfortable. He was relaxed, well‑fed and happy when we picked him up. We are very grateful and will happily book with her again.”
“I cannot recommend this babysitter enough! They watched our dog, Zeus, and treated him exactly like a member of their own family.From the moment Zeus arrived, he felt so comfortable that he completely made himself at home. They took him on great walks with the kids, showered him with cuddles, and made sure he was spoiled with plenty of treats and perfectly timed meals. It brought us so much peace of mind knowing he was receiving so much love and attention. We will definitely be booking again!”
“What an amazing first experience with Rover, and especially with Jennifer and her family. Jasper has separation anxiety, and is just a young puppy, yet Jennifer went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable, welcomed and at home. We were only gone for one night, but received several updates and the sweetest of photos. Jennifer, thank you so much for taking wonderful care of our “baby”, and easing our minds! We look forward to our next opportunity to work with you! Jasper and family!”
“Sunny was staying with Hui’s family. She is great! super friendly and caring. Her little dog & kitty were also very welcoming to Sunny. Sunny loved their backyard. We had great experience and will definitely ask for her help in future too”
“First time using Rover.com, and Mitchell and Jess are great, very friendly and very responsive. They were able to help me out with an urgent booking request after my original sitter canceled last minute. They care about animals. My dog had a great time at their pet friendly home. I was kept updated with how my dog was doing with messages and pictures regularly. Would gladly ask for their services again in the future.”
“Madeleine & Ryan were great! I was very nervous leaving Myla, she'd only ever stayed with family and a friend before. Madeleine gave me lots of updates which eased my mind so I could have a relaxing vacation. Myla was well taken care of and felt the love and safety with them. Thanks for taking such good care of my baby, we will see you in July! :)”
“Janice and family took such great care of Roo over the week we were in Toronto. We got photos and updates everyday. We definitely could see they made Roo part of the family. We knew it was a great stay when Roo was mopey the evening she got home and was missing them already. We will definitely have Roo visit again!”
“Meghan & Jon took amazing care of our dog, Charlie! Great communication, lots of love, and peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Our dog Jasper recently stayed with Qianzhi for two days, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she is a kind, attentive, and genuinely caring person. She took excellent care of our baby :) What stood out most was Qianzhi's calm and positive energy. Dogs have a wonderful ability to sense good people, and our dog felt completely at ease with her. We received updates with photos and could tell that Jasper was calm and quite relaxed in a safe and loving environment and enjoyed walking in a new nice neighborhood. We are truly grateful for the care and attention Qianzhi provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. Thank you, Qianzhi, for treating our dog like part of your family!”
“Excellent experience with Ruby & Gordon. Our little one was very well looked after during her stay. They sent pics and updates so we were able to relax and enjoy our time away. We are so glad we found them!”
“Abbey and James are amazing. They are wonderful people and treat Ryder as if she were their own. Ryder is always excited when they arrive to pick her up for her stay. Their dog Styx and Ryder play all day together and she is always tired when she comes home. I highly recommend Abbey and James. We already have her next stay booked.”
“Micheal and his wife took amazing care of my 11 year old dog. He had to be brought to the hospital during his stay because of seizures from a pre-existing condition and Micheal and his family managed the situation gracefully and made me feel reassured while I was away from my dog. They are lovely people, I highly recommend them. Best dogsitters ever. Thank you again to them for the great care they provided Douglas. I am very grateful.”
“I'm always so anxious about leaving our Emma with new people but she instantly took to Jason and his son at our meet and greet. This allowed my husband and I to leave on our week-long vacation reassured that she was in good hands. Jason provided a daily update with pictures. When we experienced travel delays, he accommodated us and watched Emma a bit longer. I would definitely recommend Jason and we'll be using him again in the future! Thanks again Jason!”
“Excellent. Would recommend April to anyone and would definitely use again. We received photos and quick responses to questions. Our dogs were happy and healthy when we arrived home. Many thanks.?”
“Jasper can’t stop talking about her stay with Emily & Alison! Their communication was excellent, our dog was walked, loved, and she can’t wait to go back! Thank you Emily, Alison & Family!”
“Kim and her family were amazing. Our dog was treated with care and as a member of their family. We were kept up to date with how he was adjusting and feel she went above and beyond in her care for our dog. Will definitely be using her again. We finally found a safe haven for our dog when we go away.”

Kimberley was excellent. Our Lily has never been good with kennels, so our last option was to seek someone to look after her in their home. Kimberley was so patient and easy going. It takes Lily a bit to calm down when in new surroundings. Kimberley kept us up to date on how she was doing, which gave us peace of mind. We will definitely be looking to rebook with her! Highly recommend!
I think Bella had a great time with Shelley and family. She was excited to run into their house right away when i arrived to drop her off. She must've remembered the meet and greet and wanted to see her two cat friends and the rest of the family. We had some timing issues on both sides for my pick up time and Shelley was fine keeping Bella a few extra hours which was appreciated and worked out to both our benefits.
Ollie, our 4-year-old Golden, just came home from the best boarding experience he’s ever had — and honestly, we couldn’t be happier. Laura and her husband are genuinely caring, warm people who treated Ollie like one of their own. From the moment we dropped him off, their love for dogs was obvious, and Laura’s positive, cheerful energy put both Ollie and us completely at ease. Ollie had an absolute blast. He got to swim (his favourite thing in the world), play with another Golden and an adorable Golden puppy, and just be his happy, social self. He fit right in from day one. The neighbourhood is lovely, and the whole environment felt safe, welcoming, and full of life. Communication throughout the stay was excellent — we always knew how he was doing, which means everything when you’re away from your fur baby. Ollie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’ll absolutely be booking with Laura again. Highly recommend! 🐾
Frida had a great week and loved her new friends. Great first time experience with Rover, and it was all because of the great sitters. We had a nice connect the week prior and knew right away it would be a great fit. Constant updates of all the fun they had while we were away helped reassure she was in great hands. I would highly recommend Megan and know we will definitely be bringing Frida back for a visit!
It’s quite difficult for me and I believe many others, to leave a much loved dog in the care of anyone I do not know very well. Michaela’s calm approach seemed to immediately let my puppy relax and happily go with her. Seeing my Cali relax was definitely reassuring. Michaela also sent me a photo of Cali probably 30 minutes after I left, further convincing me that I had made a good decision in my choice of sitter! All around a very positive experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to choose Michaela again, to take care of Cali.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Carleton Place is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 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 Carleton Place have an average of 15 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
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.
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.
You and your Carleton Place sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
