“Kerri-Lynn was great with our dogs, one of which is 14 years old and deaf and one who is timid and afraid of new places. She kept sending pics of pur dogs throughout the night and it was obvious they had settled in perfectly and comfortably!”

“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.”

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!”

He is well cared for, excited to go and she always sends photos and videos while he’s with her to share what he’s up to and how he’s doing. I would definitely recommend Aliza if you are looking for a quality, caring place for your furry friend.”

“Lana and Artur are exceptional sitters! They watched Jubilee attentively during our meet&greet, and asked plenty of questions, to ensure it was a good fit. It was obvious that they love dogs and have a deep understanding of canine behaviour. During her two stays, they spoiled Jubilee and sent us periodic pictures and videos of her enjoying the yard, playing with puzzles, and having a blast with Jet. She can be anxious while away from us, but she eased within 5 minutes of her first stay. It's clear that she feels safe and comfortable here. Lana and Artur will definitely be our go-to sitters whenever we need someone to care for our girl. Thank you!”

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!

Veronica was communicative and wonderful with Piper. My pup took an immediate liking to her and I was really happy to have someone that I knew she felt safe and comfortable with. Her fenced in yard was a real perk because Piper loves to run around and has a lot of energy to play. She was very understanding and I would bring Piper back to stay with her in a heartbeat.

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!

Shelly has been a great communicator and really made us and our pup feel comfortable. This was our first time using Rover and sending Dilly to a sitter’s for any period of time so we were a bit nervous. But Shelly and her family made us feel confident that Dilly was in the best of hands. Happy to have found their care and grateful that they can look after Dilly again in the future!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Hamilton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Hamilton on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,609 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:

  • 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
