“Daniel and Yasemin took such great care of my Gigi! They followed all of my instructions and provided daily updates, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I felt completely reassured knowing she was in such good hands. I will definitely be rebooking with them again!”
“You couldn’t ask for a more loving and warm person to entrust with your fur babies!! I was blown away at her kindness and the way she put the needs of my loved ones above her own. I couldn’t recommend anyone better than Liz 💜💜”
“This lovely family takes really good care of my girl. I get regular updates and pictures. They love on her like she was their own. We also had a last minute issue with our trip and they were so accommodating which we are incredibly grateful for.”
“Jennifer and her husband Femi provided exceptional care for my dog over the summer. Leaving my furry baby in someone else's care was a big decision, but Jennifer and Femi proved to be the perfect choice. Right from our initial meeting, it was evident they are genuine dog lovers. They took the time to understand my dog's routines, preferences, and unique personality, making me feel confident in their ability to provide top-notch care. Throughout the summer, they went above and beyond, ensuring my dog was happy and healthy. Daily updates with adorable photos were a delightful touch, reassuring me that my dog was in great hands. Jennifer and Femi created a safe and loving environment for my dog. Their dedication to her well-being was evident, and I could tell that my dog felt comfortable and loved during his stay. I highly recommend Jennifer and Femi as dog sitters. Their passion for dogs and their responsible, caring approach set them apart. My dog came back to me happy and with a newfound bond with them. I will undoubtedly choose them again for future pet-sitting needs. Thank you, Jennifer and Femi, for your exceptional care!”
“Amanda was a really good host! I left my dog, Lulu with them for a month and I was nervous about the long stay, but Amanda sent me regular updates and photos, and our girl came home happy, tired, and well cared for. Definitely recommend her as a host :)”
“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!”
“As always, Jack has a wonderful time and is well taken care of. Cynthia's flexibility with some changes was helpful! We always feel comfortable leaving our big fur baby with Cynthia and David.”
“We were so happy Haven found a home that truly cared for him. Cailyn and Roger are the nicest people! Their adorable daughters gave Haven so much love and attention. Lovely back yard for exercise and play with their sweet dog Astro! He had a great time! We will definitely use them again.”
“Our miniature poodle stayed with Priyanka for two nights, I can’t say enough about the treatment Priyanka gave Chanel, it was more than we expected. Priyanka is an exceptional person and is very kind and loving to the dogs. Our poodle is totally blind and it takes a very special person to care for her. Chanel went to Priyanka right away and was very comfortable with her. The house is a safe place for a dog as is the back yard where I know Chanel had a ball. I can’t thank Priyanka enough for the care she showed our dog, and Chanel looks forward to returning.”
“Obie had a wonderful overnight stay with the kind and caring Adrianna. Her leafy neighbourhood is perfect for walks. He had a great time. The next wedding we attend in Ancaster at the Old Ancaster mill, we will definitely bring Obie back. Thank you Adrianna!”
“Zixian and her partner took wonderful care of Hartwin during his overnight stay. She sent sweet updates and pictures, which we loved receiving. Hartwin and her pup Liuliu are officially besties now! We felt so comfortable leaving him in such loving hands and will 100% use her again for future dog-sitting and boarding services. Highly recommend! Thank you, Zixian! 😊”
“Anna was incredibly responsive, caring and diligent during our time away. She sent daily updates and videos and responded to any messages immediately. She dealt with our dogs needs for special eye drops, his first stay away from home and provided insightful feedback. Thank you Anna.”
“Barbara was wonderful with my dog. I received daily updates, pictures and even a video. I missed my dog while I was away, but knowing Samantha was in good hands with Barbara put my mind at ease!”
“Svetlana and Artur are incredibly kind hearted, considerate people who clearly have a lot of experience and love for dogs, but also take a great deal of care for making the owners feel comfortable with leaving their furry family members in their care. From the booking to the pick up, they went above and beyond to make Mango feel at home including a meet and greet to ensure Mango would be familiar with his surroundings, offering puzzle toys and doing some treat training. I cant say enough how attentive and understanding they were to the point where Mango came back having his teeth cleaned! Finally, I want to thank them personally for the flexibility with pick up times and being patient and incredibly helpful during an unforeseen emergency at drop off! Overall, if I could give more than 5 stars I would as this was a really positive experience. Mango came back happy and tired and gets along great with their dog Jet, so I know he'll be excited to return. Thank you! 🐶”
“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! 🙂”
“Thank you James and your cute daughters for looking after Milo! You have made us feel so comfortable leaving Milo with you and we appreciate the updates and the wonderful pictures you sent. We will definitely be bringing Milo back for more stays.”

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!

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.

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.

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.
