Ryan was great with my small senior dog. He sent us some photos while away on vacation and kept us updated on her. We would definitely contact him in the future.

About: I've grown up with family dogs since I was 8. I've been volunteering for dog care for 6 years with the SPCA. I've raised and trained my own dog (Golden Retriever) from 8 weeks to now her being 1.5 years old and gets along with every person and animal she's ever met. Meet & Greet I prefer to do a meet and greet with every new client. We can do this at my house in my fenced back yard and we can get to know each other while your pup can play and run around with my dog. I work from home part-time so your pup will have plenty of attention throughout the day. We start mornings with breakfast and a walk around the neighbourhood before work. Lunch time we head to the off-leash park nearby to burn off energy and play to prepare for afternoon naps while I work. After work is supper and free play time however the pups want to enjoy themselves. On my flex days I'm home all day, so your dog will never be left alone for long and can enjoy a consistent, calm routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play, and I keep a close eye on all pups during their stay. I only host dogs that are friendly and socialized, ensuring a positive environment for everyone. My home is clean, dog-friendly, and filled with cozy spots for napping between adventures.

Victoria is a great communicator and kept us updated on how our Skipper was doing. She has a genuine deep love for animals which she readily shared with Skipper. Her two dogs are very friendly and accepting as well. They seemed to have welcomed Skipper into their pack. I would highly recommend Victoria.

It was our first time using Rover. Meaghan and family were amazing dog sitters and welcomed our golden retriever into their home with open arms. Our girl loved hanging out with their dogs and cat, was taken on many walks, and rides for treats. She had a blast! Communication was excellent with photos throughout the boarding. Thank you, Meaghan! 🐕 ☺️

We had a great experience with Thiago and Nicole! They looked after our boy Bhoora for a full week and took really good care of him. He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. We really appreciate their kindness and would definitely trust them again in the future.

Liefe, Eliza and Kiran were great and I had no issues. Basil stayed with them for two weeks and I felt she would have gotten lots of love and attention. They responded in a timely manner when we were scheduling dropping her off and picking her up and let me know when there were issues. I would book with them again.

Ben is organized, responsive, and attentive. I had no doubt my dogs were in safe hands during the 7 days I left them with him. I don't like leaving my dogs for that long with anybody, but his service is necessary and I trust Ben to take care of them.

Nicole is amazing! My usually nervous dog warmed up to her immediately, and based on the photos/videos of all their adventures, I don’t think he missed me one bit :D. I would highly recommend booking with her if your pet is shy around new people, she’s truly great with dogs! 10/10

From the moment I met Tara and Jason, I felt completely at ease leaving my dog Gizmo with them. I received photos and videos of my dog relaxing with them on the sofa, chilling in their back yard and playing with their dog Stark! I would happily leave my dog with them again in a heartbeat!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Cole Harbour

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Cole Harbour on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 220 sitters on Rover offering Pet Boarding across Cole Harbour. 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:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 83% 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.
