“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”
“Our two dogs boarded with Allison & Scott for a week, and they had the best time. Allison & Scott are lovely hosts, inviting us for a meet & greet before the stay, treating our dogs like one of their own, and sending regular updates which our family appreciated so much. The property that Allison & Scott have is pretty amazing, and dog paradise. We feel lucky to have found Allison & Scott and will definitely be boarding with them in the future. Thanks so much again!”
“Bego is amazing! Total peace of mind leaving my pup with her. She sent regular updates and pictures while I was away to tell me that everything was ok and he enjoyed himself. The Pick up and drop off was a breeze. I’ll be sure to use her services again 👍👍”
“Jack absolutely loved his stay with Jean and friends!! She even made him homemade treats! We’re going to be back for doggy daycare with Jean now :) Thank you so much Jean for taking such good care of Jack!”
“Fantastic experience! Onyx was very well taken care of and loved his long walk at the park. Jayson was professional, super responsive on the app, and easy to coordinate with. We highly recommend him and will definitely book again!”
“Sure! Here’s a review in English: I had an excellent experience with Cindy and Marc! My dog seemed so happy and comfortable in her home, and I received frequent updates that gave me great peace of mind during my trip. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Another excellent stay with Deepti and Sachin, our go-to sitters in Guelph. Great communication, lots of love and exercise for our dog. We feel completely comfortable knowing our pup is well cared for. Highly, highly recommended.”
“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 :)”
“Truffle was in nth heaven. Happy, joyful, well taken care of. Two weeks of a bliss. Cynthia and David took great care of our not so small boy, who seem to have enjoyed very much his 2 weeks stay. And the picture with butterfly is one of a kind. Thank you from our household.”
“Pei went absolutely above and beyond in caring for my dog, Louisa. Louisa is a nervous mastiff and can be quite particular, so finding someone I trust with her is no small thing, and Pei exceeded every expectation. From the start, Pei created such a calm and welcoming environment. Louisa was given the time and space she needed to settle in at her own pace, and it was clear she felt safe to gradually explore, enjoy the trails, and grow more comfortable each day. Pei kept me consistently updated, which gave me huge peace of mind. The updates were thorough, reassuring, and showed not just experience, but genuine care and affection for Louisa. What really stood out was the extra effort and attention to detail. Louisa is an extremely fussy eater, and Pei took the time to make thoughtful adjustments, adding toppings, adapting her meals, and ensuring she stayed well fed and happy. That kind of effort meant so much. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel incredibly relieved and grateful to have found such a wonderful “home away from home” for my sensitive girl.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“I would highly recommend Anbarasi and her husband, Ash. They accommodated my schedule with very little notice and did a fantastic job of making my Gracie’s stay comfortable and fun. They also gave me regular updates. I was completely confident that my girl was in good hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use 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.
- 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!
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.

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.
