“Shelley was an absolute heaven sent for myself and my little guy. This was the first time i had used this service and was hesitant to do so but Shelley's reviews and experience put me at ease. She really does go above and beyond for your pet and keeps in contact with updates everyday. What a great experience. Thank you so much Shelley <3”
“Winnie had THE BEST TIME with Arlene and Kevin! Winnie takes a while to warm up to people and Kevin and Arlene gave Winnie the space to do that, but the time she was picked up, Winnie had fully adopted Arlene and Kevin as her people ❤️. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our goofball!”
“Thank you for watching Pete! Always a great experience when leaving my dog Pete with Shannon. The constant updates were appreciated! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with him :)”
“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!!”
“We recently had our dog stay with Sachin and Deepti through Rover, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, everything was smooth and stress-free. They kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was comfortable and well cared for. Communication was always prompt and friendly—they were easy to reach and quick to respond to any questions. What really stood out was how flexible and accommodating they were with drop-off and pick-up times. They truly went above and beyond to make things convenient for us, which we really appreciated. Overall, this was a 100% positive experience. I would absolutely recommend Sachin and Deepti to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters on Rover. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Pei was excellent with Maggie Mae! She asked a lot of questions about her commands and habits, reinforced her training, introduced her to some new things (roosters!), and ensured that she got both lots of exercise and lots of snuggles. Maggie Mae loved playing with her Burmese Mountain Dog Oscar. Pei provided regular detailed updates and was fast on communication. Pei's house is definitely one of Maggie Mae's new favourite places and we will certainly rebook with Pei.”
“Ginny thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Erin and Chad. She was treated like there own. I got daily feedback I didn't have to request it. Erin and Chad are lovely people and true animal lovers. I will be leaving Ginny with them again in the future.I would recommend them to everyone”
“Emmi was amazing with my puppy! She kept me updated with photos and check ins the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind. She took him to the dog park, made sure he was well cared for, and it was obvious he had a great time with her. Our puppy came home happy and well loved. I would absolutely book with Emmi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Bego provided excellent dog boarding service! Tanner was completely happy and when returning home did so without skipping a beat. This tells us that our pup was totally relaxed while holidaying at Bego's home. Thanks Bego for providing such a nice experience for us all. K & J”
“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.”
“We had a very positive experience with Stephanie and Brandon. Great communication and we appreciated the regular updates and photos. Josie seemed very relaxed and happy during her stay. We would book again with Stephanie and Brandon.”
“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.”
“Camila was amazing. Easy communication, shared pictures and videos every day. My dog was happy to stay with Camila, and even though Camila lives far away from my house, I would travel again to leave Jackie at her house. Thanks for everything Camila :)”
“As usual Wendy went up and above and made Zoey feel right at home. Zoey always looks forward to her adventures and home away from home. I would highly recommend Wendy to anyone looking for someone needing some doggy daycare .”
About: I have always been growing up with pets in my lifetime. I am experienced with dogs big and small. Cats of different breeds. I have experience with rabbits and chickens as well. I am currently retired and at home most of the time. We have a fenced large sized backyard that the dogs can play in safely. I have a fully fenced backyard for the dogs to play in. They are allowed to go in and out whenever they wanted. I do meet and greet to make sure dogs have good temperament that they can get along with each other. I am flexible in time schedule so I can always be at home to ensure dogs are safe and get along with each other. Breaking conflicts before they even started.
“ALICIA WAS THE BEST!! She took amazing care of our pup and kept us updated on her along the way. She's incredible with helping get our pet adjusted to a new space and kept as much of her regular routine the same as possible. Alicia is a dog lover through and through and knew just how to keep our Daisy girl content and comfortable. Thank you!!!”
“Jean was absolutely amazing! She had great communication throughout Piper’s stay and sent regular picture updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Jean and her family were incredibly welcoming and loving to Piper, and it was clear she was well cared for and happy. We would absolutely recommend Jean to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we will definitely be trusting her with future boarding ❤️”
“Great to have John dog sit for us while we went away. He did a fantastic job caring for Belle: walking her daily, kept her groomed nicely, fed her well and did other activities. We will definitely consider John again!”
“Suzie is very comfortable with Melissa and enjoys going there. Melissa takes Suzie for a couple of walks daily. We have total confidence in Melissa looking after Suzie. I would highly recommend using Melissa.”
“I had a great experience! She took wonderful care of my dog, Aquene, over the weekend. Aquene had an amazing time playing with her two dogs and going out on trail walks during her stay. She kept me updated, and I felt comfortable knowing aquene was in such good hands. I would definitely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”

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!
Uchenna was the ideal host for Piper! She was kind, communicated great, and sent frequent updates and pictures. Having her dog Owen around was a huge comfort, Piper had a sweet companion by her side the whole weekend. Her location right near the trails meant plenty of outdoor time for the dogs. As first-time boarders, we couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely use Uchenna again!
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.
We are overjoyed to have found Jess and will be trusting her with our dog from here on out! Jess is super friendly and communicative from the beginning. She kept us updated with messages and photos the entire stay. We enjoyed how confident she was in taking care of our high energy Doberman, which made it so much easier to leave her. Our dog genuinely seemed to be smiling with Jess. She provided lots of excersise and socialization with other dogs. Super happy with our experience.
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.
My dogs adapted to Jennifer and her family extremely well. With regular walks, playtime, and lots of TLC the dogs were very happy including our one that has separation anxiety. I would not hesitate to book with Jennifer again unless you are worried the dogs won’t want to leave Jennifer’s house like I was.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Guelph on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of August 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:
- 76% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
