“Howl had an absolute BLAST! You can really tell that Fiona and Dale love all the pups and go above and beyond to make sure that they're comfortable and happy. Fiona sent me an adorable video/photo collage at the end of the day which was amazing. Howl is already booked to stay with Fiona and Dale again :)”
“Melissa is amazing. We had a last minute commitment and she was able to accommodate having our dog stay with her. She was reassuring and we never felt worried to leave him with her. She also has a double gate system in her backyard which was an added bonus. Our dog was never left alone while he was there and had a great time playing with her Great Dane and a Lab puppy. She provided updates throughout the night and the next morning so we were always felt in the loop. And she was very quick to reply to our messages. When we went to pick him up he seemed sad to leave! Thanks for the exceptional care Melissa!!”
“Yaxnitza is very friendly and professional. She offered a welcome meeting and greeting a week before date of boarding, so my Bentley can feel more comfortable staying with her and her beautiful dog Lilly. In a week Bentley stayed with Yaxnitza, she sent pictures, videos everyday to assured everything ok. I'm lucky and feel thankful that I found Yaxnitza for my Bentley when I wasn't home. Thank you Yaxnitza, We'll see you again when we go away next time. Highly recommended Yaxnitza for someone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Alexandra took amazing care of our dog over the weekend and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept us updated with lots of pictures and walks, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. You can tell Alexandra genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Communication was great from start to finish, and she made the whole process feel easy and comfortable. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”

“Olivia cared for our puppy Max for a week while we were away and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience. The communication and updates were outstanding.

This is the first time we've ever left a pet with someone and it was very comforting knowing he was in good hands.”

We had a great experience boarding Uno overnight. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. Uno was well cared for, taken on walks to the park, and seemed happy and comfortable during his stay. The home environment felt safe and welcoming, and we really appreciated the attention and care given to him. We would definitely recommend this service and would be happy to book again in the future.
We are very pleased that Cindy and Marc recently cared for our toy poodle, Ele, for the first time. Cindy and Marc are mature and experienced caring for pets and provided a warm, loving, comfortable and safe atmosphere for Ele to relax and feel right at home. We also received timely updates and photos during Ele’s stay. We already have Ele booked with Cindy and Marc for another stay and we highly recommend them to care for your pet!
Olívia, was available at short notice and she found a place for my puppy Charlie. She kept me posted about him and gave Charlie an amazing time for the 2 days he stayed with her. You can tell be brief moment when I met her that she is a dog lover. She is definitely my first option in town to take care of Charlie when I need.
We couldn't be happier with the care Missy received! It was obvious from the start that she was loved and treated like part of the family. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Missy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It's such a relief to know we have someone we can completely trust with our pup. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Missy!

Chutney had a wonderful stay with Huang and her family! It was clear he was treated like part of the family and had a lot of fun with the sitter’s dog and young children. Photos and videos were provided throughout the day, so it was reassuring to know he was well looked after and enjoying every minute. Thank you for giving Chutney such a great experience!
Our dog Sunny has been going to Ashley's for day care for several months and recently boarded with her for a couple of nights. We couldn't be happier! Ashley is super reliable, accommodating, and very understanding of our anxious pup. She's a true dog whisperer! Thank you so much, Ashley! Your help has been a game changer for us and we so appreciate everything you do.
Hi, Judy was great. Our dog Maddie is 14 years old and did struggle with anxiety separation when first left with Judy. This made Maddie physically sick but Judy persevered instead of asking us to return and pick-up Maddie. Since the reason Judy was looking after Maddie was so we could be at our daughters wedding it was crucial that we felt Maddie was being cared for properly. Judy went above and beyond provided updates and pictures so that we could enjoy this incredibly special day. The wedding was absolutely perfect and Judy played a very important role in making it so. Thanks so much, Luc
I am so impressed with the level of care that my Bella received, she was well taken care of and taken on walks and got to interact with other dogs. She sent me updates and video clips of Bella and that put me at ease . Bella is also walking better now, not pulling , I dont know how she did it, but she taught Bella to walk nice over her short visit. Amazing care giver, I will definitely be back again and againl.
Madison and Jeffrey are wonderful! Milo always seems so comfortable with them, and he always comes back home incredibly relaxed and happy. Milo has stayed with them a few times now, and we can say we trust Madison and Jeffrey 100%. Milo is a really sweet guy, but he has anxiety around other dogs and people, and we feel totally confident leaving him in their care. They take excellent care of him and keep us updated. Thanks so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Kitchener on Rover is $51.06 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 895 sitters on Rover offering Pet Boarding across Kitchener. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
