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!

She was great; she took care of Bruce very well. He adapted to the other dogs really fast. She asked for all the instructions to take care of him and feed him on his schedule. I recommend Dr. Anna; she is really good. We are happy with her ; )

Ramona was great with Spike as always! I am so grateful to have Ramona for when I go away, I trust her so wholeheartedly with Spike now since she’s taken care of him so many times and knows him so well, and he truly adores her and feels right at home at her place. Thank you so much Ramona, Spike can’t wait to see you again in a couple weeks!

This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't have chosen better than Ruth! Ruth is just such a calm, caring person who we know loved our dog like her own. Our dog loves walks and he received nice long ones every day with Ruth. I think our pup was a bit spoiled with Ruth which we truly appreciated. We will choose Ruth again when we need the service and hope she will be available!

Heather and Matt were absolutely incredible with Charlie during our 10 days away. We had met with another sitter before them and it just didn’t feel right, but from our very first meet and greet with Heather and Matt, we immediately knew they were the perfect fit. We felt confident leaving Charlie in their care. They treated him like part of their family and truly loved him. Their communication was exceptional—we received regular updates and lots of photos, which gave us such peace of mind. This was especially important to us as Charlie had recently had surgery to remove a lump on his back and still had stitches. They followed all instructions perfectly and were so attentive and caring. Charlie is also very spoiled and loves being cozy with his blankets, and they went above and beyond by setting up his bed near the fireplace to keep him warm! We felt completely at ease the entire time and were so impressed that we’ve already booked another stay. We cannot recommend Heather and Matt highly enough.

This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous. After filtering my search criteria and reading a lot of reviews (I wanted to make sure there were repeat visits), I reached out Jacky and Rocio. They were quick to respond, friendly and so patient with me. They answered all my questions and even wanted to learn about my dog. I asked to meet up with them beforehand so that our dogs could meet (to make sure they got along and to calm my first-time jitters 😅). They were more than happy to meet up for a dog walk around their neighbourhood. Jacky and Rocio were very accommodating to our schedule. At drop off, they made the transition so seamless and comfortable (for both myself and my dog). They sent me many updates, photos and videos of their day together over the entire 4 day stay. Honestly, my family and I joked that our dog might not want to come back to us because of how happy she looked in pictures! The pick up was also very efficient. I’m already booking them again for another out of town trip. If you need somebody to look after your fur baby, I highly recommend Jacky and Rocio. They treat your pet like their own.

About: I've provided care for dogs of all ages (newborn to palliative senior), training and energy levels, and breeds (Chihuahuas to Great Danes & Mastiffs) through fostering, boarding and day care/walks. While typically busy on weekdays, I have plenty of free time on the weekends to care for your pet(s). I can usually be available with little notice. I would follow your safety rules and use your preferred tools (leash, harness, etc.) when babysitting/walking. I also have 2 friendly dogs and a fenced yard.

I can't say enough good things about Liz. This was the first time to put our cat with someone new but Liz's love and kindness put us to ease. She sent daily photo updates, she treated Quinn like her own. There was no other pets and the house is well prepared for hosting pets. Quinn definitely miss her and will be back for sure. Couldn't ask for more. Highly recommended

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.

Janice was super with our cat! She gave her some time outside, which Jackie loves. She made herself right at home and cuddled with Janice. From the pictures she sent us, we could tell that she felt very comfortable with her. Janice gave her the medication she needs, and looked after her meal requirements. We have full confidence in bringing Jackie back for another visit.

We had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter! Frankie spent 10 days with their family and had an amazing time. He absolutely loved their incredible backyard and enjoyed playing with their kids. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was being cared for in such a welcoming and family-oriented environment. Frankie came home happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed his stay. We are so grateful for the excellent care they provided and would not hesitate to book with them again. We look forward to having them watch Frankie the next time we’re away!

I was so impressed! When my small havanese dog and I arrived, we were welcomed into a calm, cozy home with Jennifer and her 2 lovely little girls. My dog happily met her 2 small friendly dogs and was wagging her tail, and joyfully jumped on the couch (which Jennifer didn't mind, I am happy to say). My dog is usually shy and velcrowed to my hip. To see my dog calm and happy was a gift....Jennifer is now my Go To Person for all our overnights and vacation from this day on. Thank you Jennifer!

Cheryl is extremely professional and knowledgeable and we are so glad to have met her. Our dog is always happy to see her and to stay with her which makes drop offs a breeze.

FAQs for Boarding - Hamilton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Hamilton on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,599 sitters on Rover offering Pet Boarding across Hamilton. 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:

  • 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
