“Thank you, Shannon for taking care of our boy Jax! It was great to see photos of him, enjoying his stay with you, and we can tell he was very happy! Of course this makes us very happy while we are away, knowing that he is in good hands. Thank you again. We are extremely grateful for your service! Rod and Michelle.”
“Excellent care and communication. Went above and beyond for my dog and gave him great opportunities to meet friends and socialize more! Will definitely book again when I need to”
“Arlene and Kevin are amazing! We are so glad that we chose them to take care of our Kipper while we were away. They really went above and beyond providing daily updates, photos and even celebrating his birthday! Highly recommend if you are looking for someone to treat your pet like royalty.”
“This was our dog’s first stay with Stephanie and Brandon and it went so well! They were warm and welcoming and helped him settle in right away. They provided ample updates throughout his time there and he looked thrilled and right at home in all of them. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again in the future. Thank you both for everything!”
“Paige is so reliable and kind hearted. I can’t thank her enough for helping us out and going the extra mile to make things convenient for us when we needed it. Our pup pup feels so comfortable with her and we highly recommend her if you’re on the hunt for a great sitter!!”
“Nicolette was great with my 15 month old Portuguese Water Dog. He's a good size active breed so finding someone willing to board him in their home is a bit rare. She was thorough and kind and asked very good questions to get to know us. Kingston had a chance to run around in her backyard prior to the boarding which really helped him get comfortable. My boy doesn't love being alone and is very much a velcro dog. Nicolette provided pictures and updates and when I picked him up he was happy as could be. Thanks Nicolette!”
“Deepti & Sachin treated our puppy dog like a member of their own family. We couldn’t have asked for more! They are super caring responsible, fun dog people! Thank you! Jackie”
“Erin and Chad were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Aspen. They took such great care of her overnight, kept me updated with photos, and made sure she was comfortable even though she can be an anxious pup! Kind, dependable, and clearly dog lovers!! I couldn’t have asked for better sitters! Thank you both 🐕”
“Camila is a 5-star quality rated person. She gave daily updates with photos, video and messages gave us peace of mind knowing that our dog was well cared for. We couldn't be more grateful for her trustworthiness, reliability, and loving approach. Our pet received proper care, exercise, and love from the entire family.”
“Myla had a wonderful time while boarding with Bego. She stayed there for three weeks and was in excellent shape and moral when she got back home. She was not anxious at all and was happy while there. Bego used to send us regular updates and took great take of Myla. She gave her the required medicines on time and everything went extremely well. We highly recommend Bego and we will definitely become repeat customers.”
“Samantha was really accommodating host and she and family took care of Cosmo well. Cosmo had absolutely bonded great with kids and pets including Lillie and had an excellent time.”
“Jean and her family are all wonderful, kind people and our yellow labrador Piper was very much part of their family and daily routine. Thanks to you all. Neil and Liane”
“Kathleen is so warm and friendly, to dogs and owners alike. She took the dogs for an off leash walk, plus tons of backyard play. A true dog person, would definitely trust her to watch our pup again!”
“Annette literally welcomed Shadow with open arms from the second they met and it just got better from there! Annette was so accommodating with Shadow and kept us informed with daily updates, which were so reassuring. We will definitely be using Annette again and would happily recommend her to anyone.”
“- I cannot recommend Jenn enough! - Jenn cared for our sensitive German Shorthaired Pointer who is often anxious around new people and can be difficult to read; and our pup felt so comfortable and happy with her! - Jenn did a meet and greet with us prior to the booking, and you can tell she has a deep knowledge of dog behaviour and that was really reassuring for us - Jenn sent pictures and updates throughout the duration of Dallas' overnight stay, and he looked happy and at home in each one! - Her home has dog toys and is welcoming for pups of all types :) - we didn't worry at all while Dallas was away ; and will be returning to Jenn in the future!”
“Alyssa was absolutely amazing with Bruno! 🥹❤️ I was really nervous leaving him because he has pretty bad separation anxiety, but she made me feel so comfortable and kept me updated throughout the night.

I would definitely recommend Alyssa to anyone and would absolutely have her watch Bruno again!”

Thank you so much Shannon and Dave! To be able to travel and not worry about our Jax and his care is priceless! The photos snd messages showing how happy he was while he was in he stayed with Shannon and Dave was so reassuring!!! Thank you both for taking such good care our little boy!!! Rod & Michelle.
We really appreciated Uchenna’s willingness to keep our dog when he became sick during his stay, especially while we were away for our son’s wedding. She made sure he was cared for and boarded him despite him not feeling well. We’re grateful she was able to look after him during a stressful situation.
Luxie stayed with Lydia and Darryl for 6 days, and had a great experience. They were a wonderful couple, and their dog Buddy got along fantastic with Luxie. The communication was excellent, and I received lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend them again!
Shelley provided excellent care for our very anxious dog Bear. He is not comfortable in new situations and is nervous around other dogs. Shelley was very patient with him and sent regular updates. She set up his own private area in the rec room, away from the other dogs as that is what he seemed to prefer. I would recommend Shelley if you have an older, nervous dog.

Alicia took excellent care of my 18 year old dog! He requires some special care due to his poor eyesight and other age related issues, and Alicia was more than happy to accommodate all of his needs. She also sent updates and pictures during his stay there. I would highly recommend!
Pip had a great couple of days with John. He took her for lots of walks along the river and when we dropped it off, he took a straight away for a walk, which was nice because normally I don’t like leaving her and saying goodbye so she was just super excited to get going. We’d use John again for sure!
Jyll welcomed our 8 month old pup with loving arms. She was eager to get to know her routines and make sure she was comfortable. She updated us throughout the time, which was thoughtful reassurance as it was our pup’s first time away from us. We felt completely comfortable and at ease, knowing Jyll was taking exceptional care of her - and we will definitely be booking with Jyll again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Guelph on Rover is $39.96 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 .

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Guelph 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 Guelph
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:
- 79% 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.
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.
