“Clover had so much fun at his stay here. After our intro visit, we knew exactly what his stay would be like - action-packed and nature-filled. He came back happy and tired, just as we expected. Allison and Scott were excellent communicators, and very accommodating with pickup times. Loved all the videos!”

“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!”

“Kathryn and her girls took such great care of Diesel and I can’t thank them enough! Their dog Poppy was such a great friend for him too. From the moment the front door opened, Diesel walked right in with ease and felt at home. There was a great back yard to explore and parks and trails close by to venture out to. I appreciated the updates and photos Kathryn sent during his stay. It was obvious Diesel was well looked after, loved and spoiled with multiple walks and cuddles while I was away. Diesel had a great visit and loved every second of it! No doubt, he will miss the family, but I will definitely be booking back again the next time I need care for Diesel. Thank you SO much for providing such a loving and nurturing home away from home!”

“We were planning a trip and knew it would be more difficult to do some of the things on our list with our dog present. So last minute, I googled to try to find a kennel in the area. I've owned dogs my entire life and have never left them somewhere else, so wanted to see what was being offered. I came across Rover and leaving her with a family instead of a kennel sounded so much better; I didn't even know this existed! Valerie got back to me promptly, confirming her availability to watch our Indie. From the moment we arrived, she was warm and welcoming, and we knew Indie would enjoy her stay. We were provided with updates, and they really enjoyed having her there. I highly recommend Valerie to care for your pup; our girl came back happy and healthy, and should we ever need someone to watch her again, we will be making Valerie our first choice !”

“- 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!”

“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!”

About: Hi! Growing up with a cat, I desperately wanted a dog (isn’t that always the way?). Within 6 weeks of purchasing our first home, rather than paint or get decorate, we got Dexter, a now 16 year old terrier/pug cross (neutered). 3 years later we adopted Juno, a Shiba Inu rescue from Ohio. Juno crossed the rainbow bridge at age 13 in November 2025 and I quickly realized I have far too much love for pets in me to only have one dog in my life! Oh and my son, who has grown up with TWO dogs, now says he wants a cat. PLEASE READ RE DAYCARE OR BOARDING REQUESTS My boarding and daycares services is a partnership with my husband, Marc. He has owned and been around dogs longer than I have! He works remotely and therefore if you choose to book with us, please be advised that one of us will be home at all times, but not necessarily me! Marc is present at all daycare and boarding meet n greets and while he doesn't do house sits, he may be available for an occassional walk, if I am already booked for the time/date of your request! Please note that as of September 2026, last-minute bookings (under 48 hours) may be subject to an increased booking fee (maximum $20). I always try and accomodate last minute bookings (life happens!) but it does require some additional juggling on my end! Thank you for understanding! I am pet first aid certified through Canadian Red Cross. I am comfortable with multiple dogs at once in any shape, age or size. I also have experience house sitting cats and bunnies.

I have experience walking high-energy breeds (pullers), multiple dogs at once (including high energy, large breeds) and I have experience walking stubborn dogs (poodles, airdale terriers, iykyk).

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!!

I think you’ve taught me a lot in terms of what keo is capable of because of the environment that you exposed him to and I am very grateful for that. You treated Keo like family, and updated me everyday on how he was doing with all the adventures that he went on. I am really grateful for your help and I will definitely come back to you if Keo needs a little vacation again :)”

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.

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.

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!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Guelph

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,671 sitters on Rover offering Pet Boarding across Guelph. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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 pet, 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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.
