“Zaffy was so happy to see Daniel and Yasemin again, she trotted right in when we got there, which is a great sign that she is comfortable and happy staying there. They treat her like family and are so empathetic, I have no hesitation recommending them.”
“Tosin and Jacob were really wonderful with our dog Rosa! It was her first time being pet sitted while we're typically on the other end of the pet sitting world lol. She had an amazing time and they communicated throughout the day and couldn't ask for a better sitter for her. Look forward to rebooking with you guys in the future! 🙂”
“Heather and Pieter were the best with Arya! She had such a good time at their home. She played with their son and received lots of cuddles. We would definitely ask them to take care of Arya anytime in the future. Heather and Pieter are such nice people and I can tell they love dogs and take really good care of them!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Seema and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for my dog, Max. From the moment we met, she was very friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Max was dropped off at 7:30 in the morning and picked up at 7:30 in the evening, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands throughout the day. Seema was extremely caring and loving toward Max. He had a great time playing fetch with her and was walked multiple times during the day. She made sure he was fed properly and well taken care of. Max also made a new friend, Yogi—an 11-month-old Golden Retriever—and they had an amazing time together, playing and running around in the backyard, even enjoying the snow. It was clear from the updates and interactions that Max was happy, comfortable, and well behaved in her care. I truly appreciate the attention, love, and dedication Seema showed. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Max and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jennifer took the time to make sure my dog's first overnight stay with a sitter went as smoothly as possible, even having a virtual meet and greet to make sure she knew any of the special needs of my dog. During the stay not only did she provide tons of updates, but she also took the time to make sure he got all the exercise he needed, as she lives close to a very big dog park! Jennifer was also very flexible as far as pickup and drop-off times, which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone, including those with a high energy dog wanting to find a sitter that will give them a great stay!”
“Dharaben was super accommodating and patient with my anxious pup! I received frequent communication with lots of picture and updates. Will absolutely be booking with Dharaben again!”
“Veronica took amazing care of my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. I would trust her again without a second thought. Oreo is a very energetic puppy, and she did an excellent job handling him. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him, and he had a great time. Highly recommend!”
“May and Family are truly exceptional. When my flight was canceled due to the Air Canada strike, I was suddenly stuck and scrambling—but May stepped in like a guardian angel. One of my dogs had just come out of surgery a couple weeks earlier and was on a complicated medication schedule, and she handled it all with absolute care and precision. Not only did she make sure both my dogs were safe, comfortable, and well cared for, but she also sent me daily pictures that brought so much peace of mind. Seeing their happy faces while I was stranded was everything. Her hopeful attitude and calm presence turned a stressful situation into something manageable—and even heartwarming. May doesn’t just walk dogs—she shows up for them (and their humans) in every way that matters. I’m endlessly grateful and couldn’t recommend her more.”
“We have boarded our dog with Priyanka for many times now. Our little guy is always so excited to be dropped off at Priyanka’s! She sends pictures and updates for you to feel worry free. Highly recommend!!”
“Olivia was a fantastic host for Alfie! She was conscientious about Alfie’s needs and went the extra mile in ensuring he was comfortable. A great communicator, she kept me updated throughout his stay. I so appreciated the whole family looking after Allie with such care and love. He came back a very happy puppy.”
“Grace had a great time with Jen during her two week stay. Jen provided photos almost everyday to reassure my husband and I that she was having fun, safe, and getting lots of love from her and her girls. Grace can’t wait to return for a visit! We are so grateful that our pup was well taken care of.”
“Ruth was quite attentive to Molly, as well as putting my mind at ease with daily notes. Molly was well cared for. Ruth was patient with Mollys anxiety on hardwood floors, by putting out her carpets and runners! We will connect with Ruth again!”
“Cyndy was there in a pinch for me. I felt comfortable leaving my doggo with her. She took him for a run and gave him lots of cuddles. She was communicative and he came home happy. Highly recommend.”
“Barbara took excellent care of Pepper with long walks, cuddles and time to be off leash in her backyard (which he loves but seldom gets as our yard isn’t fenced.) She sent us regular pictures, too. Barbara has a quiet, loving manner and I would highly recommend her as a caregiver for your fur baby. Thank you, Barbara.”
“Jack told me he had a blast playing in the snow and hanging out with Cynthia. He was happy and well fed when we picked him up. He must have had a lot of fun because he slept for 5 hours as soon as we got him home!”
“Absolutely 5 stars! 1 for Bob 1 for Skip 1 for Ruby 1 for the best dog sitting 1 for all the updates and pictures Thank you for always taking so good care of my dog Anna. Can highly recommend Bob and Skip”
“Kelley is super friendly and took care of our dog’s needs and went above and beyond. She was quite flexible with the pick up and drop off times alleviating any stress for us. Our dog came home after we picked him up from her and he passed out from all the playing he did! She even showered him and handed us a bag of treats that her dogs have because she felt that our dog liked them and she refused to take money for it! Highly recommend her! We are really pleased with her service.”
“Peter and his girls took such great care of our pup! We got lots of pictures and she seemed at home and relaxed! He even played a game of fetch with her! We will definitely leave our Maxi with Peter again!!”
“Susan has been exceptional is making my fur babies feel so at home and as if they were here own, during my transition. I couldn’t be more grateful for her love and compassion!! She is so lovely.. I would HIGHLY recommend her to care for your loved ones 😊”

Yasemin and Daniel took excellent care of my Yorkie. They are extremely welcoming and friendly I knew right away that my dog would be in good hands! They were very communicative and I can tell she had a lot of fun with them and their son. They were also very accommodating when I was running a little bit late for pick up. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for caring pet sitters!
Shadi took great care of our terrier rescue, Ruby, for an extended 10-day stay and made her feel comfortable and loved. Shadi was great with sending updates and communicating daily, whether it be sending pics of getting pets on the couch or enjoying a walk in the neighbourhood, which put us at ease. Thanks to Rover for connecting us with Shadi. We look forward to having Ruby stay with her again.
We had such a wonderful experience with our dog with Justin ! ❤️ They were incredibly kind, caring, and friendly, and kept us updated with regular messages and adorable pictures throughout our dog’s stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our little girl was in such good hands and receiving lots of love and attention. 🐶💕 We truly appreciate the care and effort they put into making her feel comfortable. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving person to look after their fur baby! 🐾
Olivia was a fantastic host for Alfie! She was conscientious about Alfie’s needs and went the extra mile in ensuring he was comfortable. A great communicator, she kept me updated throughout his stay. I so appreciated the whole family looking after Allie with such care and love. He came back a very happy puppy.
Alfonso was, as always, fantastic. This is the second time he has dog sat for us and it’s so good to have someone you can count on, and who your dogs enjoy. Very grateful to him for helping us out again this year. He watched our two pups for 2 weeks this time, and they almost didn’t want to come home with us. Thank you Alfonso!
Emmie was amazing and Morley was in love the second she saw her! Emmie did a meet and greet with Morley which was awesome. She was really flexible and sent updates throughout Morley's stay. I felt really comfortable know Morley was in good hands. I would absolutely book with her again!
Five stars! Our dog sitter was absolutely amazing to work with. Communication was seamless, and they took wonderful care of our pup. The pickup and drop off were handled with complete ease, which made the whole process stress-free. We will definitely be booking again and highly recommend their services to any dog owner!
Peaches had a great stay and she was extremely well taken care of by Nicole and her husband. Nicole accepted a last minute request the day before, within 15 mins and was very accommodating with my multiple changes to the drop off time. It felt like family was taking care of Peaches - Nicole snuggled with her overnight to make her feel more at home. She responded very quickly and provided regular updates of Peaches having fun. She even walked her in the rain. Nicole and her husband are both super kind and I will definitely make the 2 hour drive for future bookings!
We absolutely loved having Maria watch our Loki! She took such wonderful care of him and showered him with love while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Maria is truly a kind soul with such a calm and gentle disposition, which helped Loki warm up to her so quickly. We couldn’t have asked for someone better to care for our pup and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hamilton is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $72 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 Hamilton 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. Look at other pet parent reviews and repeat pet parent booking rates for an idea of their pet care exp erience.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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 Hamilton 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.
