“Andrea was a great choice to watch Frank for the month that I traveled abroad with my family, She gave me constant updates and was able to cater to Frank's special needs (diabetes). Frank seemed really happy during his stay, so as a dog parent that made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Andrea and I will be using her services frequently in the future.”
“Kelsey took very good care of my dog 🐶 she’s very kind and kept me in the loop on what my dog was up to throughout the days. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking to have her sit their fur babies! ❤️”
“We were so appreciative of the great care Rachel and her family gave our girl Holly while we were out of town. She sent us lots of photos while Holly was there and that really helped my kids see that Holly was safe and having fun. We would absolutely love to book with Rachel again!”
“Even though my dog caused them a lot of trouble, Kevin&Kayla still loved my dog until the end. I'm grateful to them. They are very nice people. If they would allow me, I would like to ask them again.”
“Really responsive and sent pictures throughout my two dog's stay. They were happy and tired when I got them back. Zin didn't want to leave right away so that's telling.”
“Absolutely amazing experience for my little Rey who is a firestorm of a Blue Heeler puppy! So good to have the peace of mind that she was so wonderfully taken care of for the week I was away. Audrey and her family sent updates and photos daily so I knew Rey was having a terrific time. Will be using Audrey again next time we need to have a home away from home.”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my high-energy working dog! She was communicative, send awesome pictures throughout the stay, and was just wonderful in general. Thank you Michelle!”
“We left our little boy with them for a couple of days, and they did an excellent job. He made a new friend with their dog, looked really happy when we picked him up, and we had good communication throughout. Thank you so much”
“Kimberly and her family treated Maggie SO WELL! She sent many photos and Maggie was smiling and tuckerd out. I highly recommend having your dog stay with Kimberly and her family. 👍🏼”
“We are so lucky to have found Criofan. Our dog had the time of his life roaming free on her fenced property, swimming and playing with other dogs. She took excellent care of Boris and we both highly recommend her and hope Boris has another opportunity to stay on “the farm” as we called it. She was very easy to work with, flexible, posy and communicative, sending us pics every day. Thank you, Criofan!!”
“Can’t say enough good things about Jena. Our sweet Coco has the best home away from home when Jena takes care of her. I think Coco may even prefer Jena’s home with all the love and attention (and adventures) she gets when visiting. Highly recommend!!!!”
“Louis hadn’t seen Iris for several months but once he saw her, he went crazy with excitement! I know that he is in the best care when he is with Iris and that he is super happy to spend time with her.”
“Rin had a grt overnight with Kaori & Mia. Rin was happy to see them again , had lots of pup play and came home happy & tired. Kaori sent regular updates and pics and is a pleasure to communicate with.”
“Erika was the best pet sitter I’ve had so far on rover. She gave constant updates and took the best care of my boy. He was literally trying to run back into the building because he didn’t want to leave ! Her cat is also so cute !”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Shravistha was incredibly flexible with scheduling and always so accommodating. Both she and her husband took amazing care of Alfie and treated her like she was part of their own family. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. She always replied to my messages promptly and kept me updated with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Alfie was happy, comfortable, and truly well cared for. Shravistha is warm, kind, and genuinely loves dogs. Knowing Alfie was with her allowed us to completely relax while we were away. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Christine was so kind, responsive and took great care of my dog. She always stayed in touch, communicated, and made sure my dog had a great time. I really appreciate how accommodating she is and how she made sure he is happy. He looked so happy as if he was ready to stay with his new family lol!”
“Every time I leave Tosca with Chinel and Christian I wonder if she’ll want to come back home! 🤭 They treat her so well and care so much for her! We’re lucky to have them! ❤️”

“Stephanie was amazing with my dog, Olive! Her two dogs were so well-behaved and got along great with Olive. She kept me updated throughout the stay, sent me adorable pictures, and made me feel completely at ease. I could tell Olive was happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Stephanie again in the future. Thank you so much!”

Alanna was a clear communicator and quick to respond. She made sure Annie was the right fit for her family with a meet and greet, which gave me peace of mind that everything would go smoothly while I was away. She also updated me with daily photos and summaries of how Annie was doing. I would rebook with Alanna in the future and will recommend her to friends.
Princey took fantastic care of our pup Cedar while we were away for four days, and was very accommodating for our last-minute booking. We received many photos and updates, and it was a such a relief to know our dog was so well-taken care of. We would absolutely recommend Princey for dog boarding, and we’d love to book again in the future!
Our Thalia had a lovely stay with Rachel and her family. It was our first time using Rover and Rachel made the process very smooth - she was always very open, communicative and willing to answer all our questions. She also provided constant updates and the ability to book a drop-off to our house was above and beyond since we got home very late. We’d definitely recommend Rachel with friends and consider her for our future boarding needs. (Plus: her girls have so much love to our senior baby girl!)
Amelia, Thomas and Biscuit all have such lovely calm energy, as well as in their home. Dottie received wonderful care while in the care of them. I don’t think Dottie wanted to leave! Thank you for providing such a stress free boarding experience with lots of updates. ❤️
Karly and Brent took such good care of our King Charles Cavaliers this week while we were away. We really appreciated the photos and could tell the girls felt right at home with them. Ace is such a lovely guy and it’s nice the girls have a new friend. :) Thank you so much Karly and Brent!
Rose was, and continues to be, an absolute gem. From the moment we entrusted Kuma to her care, we knew he was in wonderful hands. Throughout his stay, Rose provided regular updates, photographs, and videos, giving us much-needed peace of mind while we were away. Her honesty, warmth, kindness, and genuine love for animals came through in every interaction. She didn’t simply “watch” Kuma — she welcomed him into her home, cared for him, cuddled him, played with him, and made him feel completely at ease. Perhaps the best review came directly from Kuma himself! When we arrived to pick him up, he greeted us with a few kisses and snuggles…and then promptly turned around and went back inside to continue playing with Misty. We couldn’t have asked for a better sign that he had felt happy, safe, loved, and very much at home. Finding someone you can trust with a beloved member of your family is incredibly important, and Rose gave us complete confidence from beginning to end. We are so grateful for the exceptional care she gave Kuma and would recommend her without hesitation. Five stars simply aren’t enough. Thank you, Rose, for loving our boy so well. Kuma is already looking forward to his next visit with you and Misty!
Kate was awesome. This was our first time leaving our nervous dog at a sitters home and Kate was so great and giving lots of detailed updates and any concerns she had she brought to our attention immediately. Nori seems to really love Kate and bonded with her well. We would book Kate again in a heartbeat.
This was my dog’s second stay with Megan, and I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. When we arrived for the second visit, my dog was so excited to see her and couldn’t wait to go, which speaks volumes about how comfortable and happy he is with her. She’s kind, trustworthy, communicative, and takes such great care of him. I have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands!
Monica and her family are amazing ! She put so much love and care into watching Lehu. She sent us multiple updates a day and was quick to respond. Lehu got many walks, hikes, and trips to the dog park. This was the first time we used a sitter, so it was comforting to know we could trust our dog with Monica. I hope she is free next time we need a sitter 💛

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Colwood on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 360 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Colwood. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Colwood 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 Colwood
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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 82% 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.
