“Archie (mini weiner dog) had another great stay with Shelley. Shelley is an angel, she treats Archie like her own. I can’t recommend her enough, she has a natural way with animals. I’m so happy I found someone so amazing to take care of my little guy when I’m away. :)”
“John was fantastic with Macie! He asked all of the right questions prior to Macie’s boarding date and provided adequate updates on how she was doing on her stay. I would recommend John to take care of your dog through boarding”
“Nicolette did an exceptional job taking care of Lenny, our Moyen Poodle! She cared for him as we would have. She sent regular photos and updates, asked questions when necessary and was always professional! I highly recommend Nicolette and wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again!”
About: Retired from a long career in child care I am ready to open my home to your fur baby. As my own little guy passed recently I look forward to cuddles, walks and play time. I offer a fully fenced yard and as my husband Robin (retired teacher) is also available we offer round the clock attention. Retirement allows me total flexibility to care for pets. My husband and I enjoy walks in our very quiet friendly neighborhood. We would prioritize time spent with your doggy and follow any instructions you may have. We have a comfortable home, fenced yard and if you permit we allow pets on furniture and the bed. Non smoking home. Reliable, responsible loving care with lots of updates for you.
“Erin and Chad took excellent care of our dog for 8 days whilst we went on holiday. They sent updates and pics to let us know our dog was having an awesome vacation too!”
“Deepti and Sachin were the best! Our dog Beth had a great overnight stay with them. It was so nice to get photos and updates on her while we were away and to know she was in such good hands. I would highly recommend their services!”
“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.”
About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life. I grew up with Golden Retrievers, Poodles and Portuguese water dogs. Having owned a gun dog (Vizla and my partner GSP) I know what kind of exercise and adventures some dogs need. I am currently loving walking dogs in the first have of my day. I like hiking daily with dogs who able to be off leash. Trust is very important for all of us. Your dog, yourself and myself. I like to take my time building trust starting off with walking together to all get to know one another. My goal is to build a solid long term relationship with yourself and your dog so I can be your support. After owing a dog I am aware of the needs of pet owners. Life happens and you always need a support. I have a very large fenced in backyard. We do not have a dog in the house so your dog is where my attention goes. I like having GPS collars on dogs because the owners and myself can track the dogs should they wonder off. Also, we can track how much exercise the dogs get.
“Lydia was wonderful. My cat Holly 🐈 was well taken care of. She can get very stressed out in new surroundings, however when I picked her up she was fine. Thanks Lydia for taking care such good care of our baby!!”
“Ellie was amazing with my Great Dane mix, Alix. She was caring and loving. She is very accommodating and flexible. I appreciated the boarding and walks! Alix did too! Alix loves Ellie! I would recommend Ellie to any pet owner!”
About: I’m an experienced, caring dog lover who has raised dogs from puppies through their senior years. I live in a calm, quiet home with my 10 year-old daughter who is gentle, kind, and absolutely loves animals. I work from home full-time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and exercise. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs—and I can administer medication as needed. Your pet will enjoy a calm, loving, and safe environment with lots of movement, enrichment, and (of course) belly rubs. We also have a friendly 2-year-old male Standard Poodle who loves having dog friends. For everyone’s safety and comfort, I do not accept reactive or intact dogs. Your dog will be treated like family here ❤️ I work for a tech company fully remote, we do walks during the day and in the evening with lots of outdoor playtime in the backyard. I have a fenced yard which is safe and secure and your dog will have full access to the house but I can crate if nesseaary. Your furry family member will need to get along with my poodle so a pre visit is required.
“Emily is soooooooo lovely! She loves our doggos like they are her own and sends regular updates with adorable pictures. We will be rebooking over and over with her. We recommend you do too, your pups will thank you.”
“Three cheers for Allison, Scott and their wonderful dog crew! We are thrilled to have found such a great place to board Sauggy! She had the time of her life (as evidenced by videos and photos shared by Allison and Scott during her stay, AND, not wanting to leave when I picked her up! Thanks so much! See you again soon :)”
“Valerie did a wonderful job looking after my Luna. She made Luna feel right at home and apart of her family while I was away. She gave multiple updates with photos throughout the week. I highly recommend her and will use her again. In”
“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.”

Jennifer was so great taking care of our dog for the weekend. She was very attentive, took time to meet him beforehand and sent many photos and updates each day Finnley was with her. We were also grateful that she was flexible with drop off/pick up arrangements. Will definitely book again!
Nicolette did an exceptional job taking care of Lenny, our Moyen Poodle! She cared for him as we would have. She sent regular photos and updates, asked questions when necessary and was always professional! I highly recommend Nicolette and wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again!
Nothing but fantastic things to say! Toby was so sad to leave and I know because he laid quite the whole way home. Which was rare. Super communication in terms of updates throughout the stay and a VERY clean home and space close to the park. Would be honoured if they took Toby again
She was communicative throughout Yohji’s stay and sent lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. She also took him on a hike, and her large backyard was a big plus because he loved running around and playing. I really appreciated the updates and the effort she put into making his stay enjoyable.
Shelley was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs! We got frequent updates and pictures and she was very communicative about how they were doing. She was also really flexible and was able to keep the dogs for an extra day when our plans changed, which we were very grateful for. We would absolutely recommend Shelley and have her watch the dogs again!
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. Bruno settled in so well with her! It was such a relief knowing he was safe, comfortable and being taken care of while I was at work. 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.
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Guelph is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $61 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
sitters in Guelph have an average of 14 years of experience. Each sitter has their own unique experience and skill sets for different types of pets. You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
You and your Guelph sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
