“We left our puppy with them for 9 days while we were on holiday, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. They are genuinely warm, sincere, and truly love animals. They treated our puppy like their own and kept us updated every single day with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came back to a happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for puppy. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving sitters. We will absolutely book with them again!”

They went out of their way to make sure she was comfortable. We will definitely book Deepti and Sachin in the future and definitely recommend them to family and friends.”
“Shelley really took the time to get to know our dog during the meet and greet, which lasted about over 45 minutes. Our dog had never been in another home but our guy felt right at home after 15 minutes. Her home is extremely pet friendly and she has a bid secure fenced yard for play. We felt 100% comfortable leaving our dog with Shelley. She sent us pictures and updates during his stay and it was evident he enjoyed himself. We’ve already made another booking with Shelley”

She took the time to get to know my dog, her habits etc. to prepare for a comfortable stay. Her house has plenty of space for the dogs to play and exercise. I appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which reassured me that my dog was happy and well-cared for. When I picked her up, it was clear he she a great time and was well-looked after.

“Bego responded quickly to my request for someone to watch Dexter while we had to leave the country for 4 days. With only 2 days’ notice she accepted my submission and explained how the dogs she had would probably be very compatible with my 11 year old dog. While he was very nervous as his eyesight was severely impaired - he did warm up to her and her home quickly. I appreciate that she offered to take him if necessary in the future. Thanks so much Bego! Barb”
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.
“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.”
“Just wonderful! Camilla looked after our 6 year old cockapoo for 2 weeks. There was excellent communication before and during his stay. She updated us every day with several pictures and videos of him on hikes, walks, outings at the park, playing with her children and relaxing with the family. She is a lovely person and it was obvious from our first meeting that she would take great care of Finn. From the videos she sent, we could tell that our pup loved her and her children and they paid a lot of attention to him and welcomed him as part of the family. They ran with him at the park and he even got to join in on playing basketball. Honestly, I think he misses them all. We will definitely be booking Finn in with Camilla 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.”
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Guelph
Arlene and Kevin were fantastic hosts! If my pup could write a review he would give them 5 stars and slobbery kisses. This was our first time leaving him with absolute strangers and from the moment we dropped off we k ew he was in great hands. They were attentive and caring and made Oliver feel right at home. He sure was disappointed to leave! We will absolutely be booking with Arlene and Kevin 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.
Carly was absolutely amazing with our dog, Toby! From the start, she made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She was caring, reliable, and treated him like family. We loved getting updates and could tell Toby was happy, relaxed, and well looked after the entire time. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with Carly again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!! Toby had such a blast and is currently catching up on some sleep! Thank you, Carly!!
Kathryn and her daughters were amazing! This was our first time leaving our dog with her and she made us feel so comfortable with regular photos and updates. It looked like Murphy was in great care, had a blast and loved spending time with them and their dog! We will definitely be asking Kathryn to watch Murphy again!
Jyll and Cannon had the best time together. I was so appreciative of how genuinely caring she was and always keeping in touch giving updates. Jyll has a lot of experience with dogs and it is very evident with how confident and nurturing she is. Can’t recommend highly enough!
Olenka & Joseph; Thank you so much for taking such good care of Dahlia! She had an excellent time staying at your place and enjoyed every minute, especially play-time! The daily photos were appreciated as we could see how much fun she was having. We will recommend your dog-sitting services to our family and friends.
Shelley is the best pet sitter ever - I have a senior (18 year old dog) that requires a lot of care, and Shelley does a wonderful job every time. He gets lots of supervised play time in the backyard, lots of love, is well fed, and is always super clean when I pick him up. It eases a lot of stress knowing that my dog is so well taken care of when I am away, especially given his age!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Guelph on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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:
- 78% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
