“I am very sensitive when it comes to my dog, Napoleon—a small, lovely Chihuahua who means the world to me. It was important for me to find someone who would watch him closely and care for him with attention and kindness. After searching through many profiles, I chose Alfonso, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Alfonso kept me updated daily, making me feel at ease while I was away. He took great care of Napoleon, ensuring he was safe, comfortable, and well looked after. When I returned, I could see that Napoleon liked him and felt completely at ease with him. Alfonso is truly caring and attentive—you can trust him to take excellent care of your pet!”
“What can I say other than a fabulous care giver. Her two dogs bonded with my French bulldog and shipoo. They followed her around, they slept in her bed with her doggies. I have photos of them playing with my doggies. All four dogs had personalities that one matched one doggie of hers and same with the other. My dogs showed happiness to see me on pick up but my shipoo ran to me and back to Kelley. I saw them playing with their own toys I brought. Really the transition was not far off by how I take care of them. It was a pairing made in heaven. My doggies were on vacation too! Kelley deeply cared for my dogs welfare. So from one nurse (me), to another retired nurse, Kelley, you win the award of the year for best care. I bough to you. Bravo. Hope to see you again. Xoxo”
“Sandra took great care of our dog, Coco. She was very flexible with pickup and drop off timing which ensured we were not rushed on the way back home from our trip. She provided plenty of updates including photos of Coco; this gave us the peace of mind that Coco was in great company. We will definitely reach out to Sandra again if we’re traveling across the border and need a sitter in Hamilton.”
“I just want to say how fantastic Lina was to my sweet pup Daisy. This was my first time using Rover and my first time using a boarder ever and Lina was so friendly, accommodating, and understanding. She let us come over for a meet and greet with her and her dog Harlem to make sure it was a good fit. Harlem and Daisy instantly got along and it made me feel so much better about boarding knowing she had a friend all weekend. While I was gone Lina sent pictures and even a short video of the dogs playing so I felt great knowing Daisy was having so much fun. I have already recommended Lina to friends at the dog park and look forward to booking with her in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals, included long term overnight stay since my teenage years. I’m an animal lover through in through, pets are the best I have a flexible remote job, and therefore I am available any time of day with sufficient notice for walks or pop ins, day and night. Having cats of my own, my house is already pet friendly. I have nearby dog parks and I am willing to go on long walks to keep your pet happy.
About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Golden Retrievers. Years of living with more sensitive family dogs taught me to read body language closely, and I bring that same attentiveness to every walk and play session. I'll always work to earn your pet's trust and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care! I work from home with flexible hours, and pet care fits naturally into my day alongside my own cat. I'm used to building routines around a pet's needs, so incorporating yours is a straightforward task. Cats boarding in my home get their own dedicated space until they're ready to explore and meet Nuri (my cat) on their own terms. Dogs have the run of the place, with regular outdoor potty breaks throughout the day. All pets are welcome on the bed/any furniture. During drop-in visits, I'm happy to give them my full, undivided attention for the entire visit (if they want it, that is).
“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!!”
“Julia was amazing with my dog Ivy! Ivy is a Miniature Pinscher who ran be rambunctious at times and likes to be vocal but Julia handled her very well! She kept me well updated, with lots of photos, walks and playtime. She also made sure that all of Ivy's needs were met. It was my first time using Rover and was nervous with anyone watching Ivy but I fully trust Julia! I would rebook again, and I recommend her as an amazing sitter to watch your pet!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Chester! He stayed with them for two weeks, and the care, love, and attention he received were truly amazing. We got regular updates, and it was so comforting to see how happy and relaxed he was. It honestly felt like he was on his own little vacation. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! While we were away on a 7-day family vacation, she took amazing care of Zues .. from regular walks and feeding to giving him lots of love and attention. What truly stood out were the thoughtful updates she sent us along the way, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dog was happy and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommended.. we’re so grateful to you Karen .. thank you 🙏”
“Bruno stayed with Megan for a month, and I couldn’t recommend Megan enough. I was stressed about leaving him for a month, but Megan made the whole experience completely stress-free, and I never had to worry at all. They regularly sent me pictures and updates. Bruno also became best friends with their dog, Ella, who is so sweet hearted, which made his stay even better. Their family was lovely as well, and they treated him as part of the family. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I’m so glad to know Bruno has a second home. I will definitely book again if we go on another trip or if something comes up. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”
“My 11 year old dog stayed with Chetan and had an amazing time! From drop off, we were not rushed out, he allowed us to say hello to his many animals which was very lovely. It was also very nice to have the opportunity for my dog to meet other animals, such as goats. Chetan sent me plenty of videos and photos of Hunter during his stay which I 100% appreciated! It allowed me to feel very calm as I knew Hunter was not only in good hands, but also having a lot of fun himself. Hunter enjoyed his stay and we will definitely be back again.”
“Third time with Sarah and another great stay for Link. Lots of videos and even got a new bone for him. He loves her big backyard and got lots of play time. Cannot recommend her enough.”
“Henry recently boarded our male golden retriever for 5 days while we were on vacation. Pickle was very comfortable in Henry’s home, and Henry sent a daily photo and update, which was nice to have. We would gladly board with Henry again! :)”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Hamilton is $50

We had such a wonderful dog boarding experience with Linda. From the beginning, she was prompt with her communication and made our anxious rescue dog feel right at home. We couldn’t have better things to say about Linda and we will definitely have our dog stay with her again. Thank you for everything Linda!
Julia was amazing with my dog Ivy! Ivy is a Miniature Pinscher who ran be rambunctious at times and likes to be vocal but Julia handled her very well! She kept me well updated, with lots of photos, walks and playtime. She also made sure that all of Ivy's needs were met. It was my first time using Rover and was nervous with anyone watching Ivy but I fully trust Julia! I would rebook again, and I recommend her as an amazing sitter to watch your pet!
Shelly and her family were absolutely wonderful with Phoebe! We were able to enjoy our holiday completely stress-free, knowing she was in such safe and loving hands. They treated Phoebe like one of their own, and it was so clear how well cared for she was. We would absolutely trust them with her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
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!
Alfonso was great with Stanley. This was his second time looking after Stanley who is a handful at times. He was great with communication, and pictures. He also advised he was eating his food great as we had to get a different one to due stock issues so we knew he was eating normal. He was great in communicating at the end of the stay how it went, and advised Stanley had a few instances where he was over protective with his toys, so we was aware ourselves. Stanley is looking forward to his next stay.
Shadi did an amazing job caring for our senior chihuahua mix. Our dog is on two medications a day and can be a bit finicky and slow to warm up to new people. She warmed up to Shadi within a couple days and clearly trusted her. Shadi provided regular updates with photos and asked us questions if anything came up. We would 100% book her again!

Yijing boarded our dog, Ella, for 2.5 days, including pick up and drop off. She was prompt, communicative, and understanding of complications. She sent regular updates with pictures and sometimes video, and it was clear that Ella was having a great time! Would definitely use again.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Hamilton on Rover is $51.06 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
