“Katherine is absolutely incredible, from the first time you meet her and her adorable daughter you can see how much they absolutely adore animals! I was constantly updated about rozie and the pictures and videos were absolutely heartwarming. Rozie can’t wait to go back to this incredible house with some incredible people. Do your animal a favour and see if you’ll be lucky enough for Katherine to look after your animal.”
“Heather was 10/10 during the whole process. It was our first time user rover and she made everything seem so flawless! She constantly sent photos and updates and when there was a change of plans, Heather didn’t hesitate! I will definitely be booking my girly with her again!”
“Tyson loved his stay! We appreciated being able to leave him with Susan and Brian in their home and their wonderful care while away. Great communication/pics sent. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Jillian was amazing. Lots of updates with photos. Our Luna really seemed to love her. She also took Luna on some good hikes/walks as she requires lots of exercise. Will definitely use her again!!”
“Tucker had an AMAZING time, for his first boarding night. We are so thankful to find two people who treat him as well as myself and my kids. Cannot wait to use them again.”
“Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!”
About: Our family provides pet care together, with myself and my husband, Vitaly, being fully responsible for all pets in our care. Our 11-year-old daughter is also deeply involved and passionate about animals. She has completed courses through the local Humane Society and is currently finishing a pet sitter course. She loves helping with walks, playtime, feeding, brushing, and giving animals lots of affection under our supervision. We also have another 8 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Animals are already a meaningful part of our family life, and we are planning to welcome our own dog within the next two years. In many ways, pet care has become a beautiful opportunity for us to spend time with dogs while continuing to learn and prepare as future dog owners ourselves. As a family, we enjoy learning about dog behaviour, training, and care, and even love watching Cesar Millan together. We have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. We have completed both a 10-day farm sitting stay in the summer and a 7-day stay in the winter for close friends with a hobby farm that includes two dogs, a cat, goats, chickens, and other animals. Our responsibilities included daily feeding, animal care, cleaning, outdoor chores, and even milking goats. In addition, we have experience fostering dogs in our home, providing pet care for friends and neighbours, dog walking, and drop-in visits/check-ins for bathroom breaks and companionship. One summer, we also helped a neighbour with daily noon-time puppy check-ins for six weeks while they were at work. We are a calm, caring, outdoorsy family who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. We are best suited for dogs who are comfortable around children and reasonably calm around cats. We do have a cat in the home, though she has her own quiet spaces and hiding spots where she can retreat comfortably when needed. My husband and I both work as entrepreneurs mostly from home. We do sometimes leave the house for around 2-4 hrs for different activities with our homeschooled children. Sometimes we can bring dogs with us, sometimes they need to stay at the house. Our family like to take regular walks in the morning and evening so we don’t need to change our routine too much when we add a dog to the house. We have a fenced yard and three level house. We are extra tidy when dogs are around and are careful with leaving food out. We once had a dog eat a brick of butter from the counter…let’s say we learned our lesson!
“Sara took excellent care of our energetic Airedale terrier. He had multiple walks, a clean and spacious house, and large fenced backyard. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, and we knew that our dog was very well cared for. They have 2 friendly, non-aggressive dogs that played well with our dog. I highly recommend Sara and Cody for anyone who wants exceptional care for their dog.”
“Wow! Cindy and her family cared for Madigan like she was family-- I think she misses them already! Our Maddie stayed for two weeks, and Cindy sent us lots of pics and kept us up to date with the fun they were having. Everything was perfect from our end. Highly recommended!!”
“Angi is such a wonderful attention to our family! She was attentive to our senior girls needs and they settled in so nicely. Angi sent us a picture overnight as well. Highly recommend Angi.”
“Anne and Andrew are always so great with Luna. She loves them and is so comfortable in their care. We were away for a good amount of time and Luna was welcomed into their home like family, as she always is. She's always a little sad when it's time to come home. 😅”
“Geo and Amanda are absolute gems of dog sitters. They took in both of my dogs just as their own and updated me thoroughly throughout each day. Their home was so beautiful and such a comfy safe space for my dogs to run and rest. They were absolutely so kind and made me feel so at peace knowing my babies were in safe hands!”
“Adi and his wonderful wife are absolutely lovely and wonderful with my GSD Archer. He loves being there and is treated like family. I continually receive updates and videos which give me peace of mind. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and loving place to board your pup.”
“Jessica and family treated my dog, Cooper, just like he was their own and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I met them. They sent many updates, including photos and videos. I will definitely be using their dog sitting services again and highly recommend them!”
“Melanie is great, I bring my GSD Simba to her regularly, she’s very supportive and accommodating even on short notices. Simba enjoys his stay with Melanie and her lovely dogs and returns happy and tired. I’ve tried day care and boarding services and I’m very satisfied with all the care she provides is both services. Didn’t see any negative changes on Simba’s behaviour after mingling with Melanie’s dogs. I would like to thank Melanie for her amazing care and would like to highly recommend her services as a dog sitter or boarding.”
“We left our 2 dogs with Sheila for one night as a trial before we leave them for a week in September. We could not be happier! She took care of them like her own, which is all we wanted when searching for someone to watch our babies. They were walked, fed (even though our younger dog does not eat when anxious/scared, Sheila tried her best and even made her boiled eggs to try to get her to eat!), and well rested. We are looking forward to their stay in September and are very confident they will enjoy their time with her. Thank you Sheila!”
“Sharon is the best! She is so wonderful with our dog and we always know she is safe and well cared for. Sharon is very accommodating and helpful with booking requests and drop off/pick up etc. Our dog absolutely loves her visits with Sharon, she is always very excited to go back!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Collingwood is $50

Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!
We left our little guy overnight with Angi for the first time and she was wonderful with our senior boy. He has very serious separation anxiety from his humans, so she kept us informed of when he settled down, she played with him, set pictures, and in the end he was very calm when I picked him up. Will definitely be boarding him with Angi again. Her place is clean, debris free - perfect for pets, she obviously loves animals and knows what they need. She's also great with people which is important for me :)
Michelle is the most awesome dog sitter!! We just moved to Collingwood and Michelle was our pick for our 80 lb Bernedoodle, Ziggy. Ziggy loved his walks and playtime with the other dogs. Michelle handles dogs well. She is highly organized and sent some really good photos of Ziggy’s activities with her. Ziggy had a visible smile on his face for several days after his first visit with Michelle.
We have not left our little Sprout with many strangers but within 5 minutes of our meet and greet we knew she would be well looked after. Susan and Brian were so welcoming and it was evident that they would provide excellent care. They were incredible and kept us up-dated the whole time. We are so happy we found them and will not hesitate to use their services again. As for Sprout, if she could talk, she would give them a 5 star plus plus rating as she had an amazing day with them!!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Collingwood 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 Collingwood
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:
- 100% 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.
