“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! 🙂”

“Sandra and her family took exceptional care of Morita! She was well loved and taken care of, and we would highly recommend. As a rescue, Morita is a little shy at first but naturally curious and because Sandra and her family gave her the time and space she quickly warmed up and had a fantastic stay. Thank you Sandra!”

I was 15 mins late picking up Ash and she was very flexible and didn’t mind, even though it was night time! I appreciated that alot. Hazel played with my dog Ash all day and they got along very well. Happy that Ash made a doggy friend!”

Bonus she has the sweetest dog, Boomer who put up with the hyperness of our boy all weekend long. Thanks again Courtney!”

About: After 16 years my sweet pup has passed on. Except for her first year, I saw her through every stage of life and have owned dogs previously. I'm currently working remotely and I have a good amount of flexibility during the day for lots of dog walks and play. Availability is fairly open, weekends included. The backyard is completely fenced in but mostly paved. There is a lawn out front but it's not fenced - would prefer to go on nice walks around the neighbourhood, leash free park or to a local park/trail.

“Katherine was super flexible and accommodating, as our trip was short notice and our return flight was delayed. Lulu liked her immediately and apparently settled in quickly. I was a little worried Lulu was going to be wild and re-aggravate a leg injury, but Katherine kept her entertained and activities restricted as requested. All in all, Lulu and I were happy campers. Thanks Katherine!”

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.

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!

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!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Hamilton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
