“I felt completely at ease leaving our new pups with Jessica. They got loads of care & attention and walks. It was our new puppy’s first weekend away and I was so glad for him to have such a positive experience. I’m sure he will be looking forward to going back!”
“Erika was great! We felt so comfortable having Brodie stay with her, with the added bonus of getting some play time with sweet Juniper. I appreciated meeting beforehand so we could both ask questions. Highly recommend!”
“Mia was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our little Pomeranian and treated him like one of her own. She kept us updated every day with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pup had a great time in her yard, made friends with her cat, and quickly felt comfortable in her home. Mia even went the extra mile by preparing yams to accommodate his diet, which we really appreciated. She was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and easy to work with throughout the entire stay. We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter and would highly recommend Mia to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their pet.”
“Roberta took excellent care of our dog while we were away for a long family vacation. She is very knowledgeable, kind, and truly cares. We had peace of mind knowing that our dog would be part of her family while we were away. We appreciated the updates and pictures while we were away and could tell he had enjoyed his time with Roberta and her dog. We are so grateful and will 100% reach out to Roberta next time we need a sitter. She is a lovely person who clearly cares deeply about the people and animals she interacts with. Thank you!”
“Leigh-Ann was so great! Leading up to the stay in Leigh-Ann’s home we were a bit nervous about leaving our little 7 month old dachshund on her first overnight stay without us, but we needn’t have been - we had a great experience, Leigh-Ann made the initial meetup seemless and sent updates throughout their 4 days together so we were able to relax knowing she was in good hands!!”
“Nicolle is a fantastic sitter. My dog Tess loved the stay with Nicolle and her lovely Zoey. She kept me updated with photos through out the day and very quick to respond with messages. I highly recommend her!”
“Natalie took such great care of our pups. We had to extend our stay last minute and she was able to make to accommodate. She took care of our pups like they were her own and I could tell the pups loved being there! I highly recommend her!”
“Kesi was great to deal with! Very accommodating and reliable. Daily updates let me know how my boy was doing and put my mind at ease. Very pleased with the level of care provided while I was away. 10/10 recommend. Thank you again, so much!”
“Quinn was a great dogsitter. She communicated easily and often and assured me, especially in the first day or two, that my dog was doing great. I would not hesitate to hire Quinn again to take care of my dog.”
“Jade had the BEST time while I was away and made new dawg friends! Mackenna took excellent care of Jade and sent pics and videos. Jade was very excited to see me when I picked her up but ran back into Mackenna’s house to continue playing with her new friends.”
“Sydney was great. She was punctual for meet and greet and even brought our dog to our house. She was really good about keeping us updated with texts and photos while we were traveling.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with golden retrievers, and I’ve been dog-sitting in Nelson for over two years. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, and easygoing couch companions, and I enjoy adapting to whatever pace your pup prefers. I love taking dogs out on Nelson’s beautiful trails for fresh air and adventure. Whether your dog wants to sniff every tree or prefers a more relaxed stroll, I’m all about making their time with me tail-waggingly fun! With a flexible work schedule, I’m able to accommodate a wide range of routines, visits, and energy levels. I’m all about making sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away—because every pup deserves to have a good time, even if their human is off doing human things. I am currently working a casual schedule. I am available for morning, afternoon and evening walks! I am available for pet sitting during the week or weekend! I have my own suite that has access to a grassy area out front. I am a few minutes walk to the graveyard trails. Dogs that stay with me will be taken on morning walk, mid afternoon walk and a longer nature walk in the early evenings!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Castlegar on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Castlegar 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 Castlegar
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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
