He kept us updated every day with photos and videos, was always easy to reach, and gave us peace of mind knowing our baby was in caring hands. What made the experience especially memorable was the effort he put into celebrating our pup's birthday; he even made him a cake! It was such a thoughtful gesture and meant so much to us. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after, and we came home to a happy, relaxed pup. We’re so grateful for the care and attention he provided and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member.”

About: Please note: I am not able to accept boarding requests for dogs bigger than 25lbs due to my building's restrictions. I've been around dogs my whole life and have been actively pet sitting for friends and family for over 10 years. I'm most comfortable with small and medium-sized breeds, but I genuinely love spending time with dogs of all kinds. I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, and administering medication (oral meds, eye drops, etc.), so I'm comfortable handling the needs that come with dogs at different life stages. I live in a condo with no other pets, which means your dog gets my undivided attention. I'm home during the week, so your dog won't be left alone wondering where everyone went. I'm happy to rearrange my space to make sure they're comfortable and safe. Pets ARE family members. Whether it's sticking to your dog's routine, sending you photo updates, or just making sure they feel safe and loved, I take that responsibility seriously. I'm home most of the day during the week and on weekends, so your dog will have plenty of company. Tuesdays I'm out in the morning but back by early afternoon. My schedule is flexible, which means I can easily work around your drop-off and pick-up times and keep your dog on their regular routine. I don't have any pets. There are lots of great walking areas nearby, and I love getting outside, so your dog will get regular walks and fresh air. I'm happy to follow whatever routine works best for your dog, whether that means crate time, free roaming, or a mix of both. I'll always check with you first about what your dog is used to and what you're comfortable with.

This was Coco’s first boarding experience, and Karine and Howard were amazing! They kept me updated with photos and videos throughout her stay, which really put my mind at ease. Their communication was excellent, and I knew Coco was well cared for. Thank you so much Karine and Howard❤️
We had an amazing experience! From the moment we dropped off Sugar and Snow, we knew they were in great hands. We received pictures and updates every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear they were being cared for with genuine love and attention. Sugar and Snow came home happy, relaxed, and well looked after. We’re incredibly grateful for the excellent care and communication throughout our trip. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter!
Laura was an amazing pet sitter. I couldn’t be more happier with her service and care for my girl Ruby. She went above and beyond to ensure Ruby’s stay with her was as fun and comfortable as possible and would highly recommend her as a sitter to anyone. I would also be contacting her again without a doubt in the future if I need a sitter for Ruby again
Brant was incredibly attentive and kind. Bailey loved staying with him and his two huskies! He kept us updated with lots of photos and made sure Bailey got plenty of exercise. I would highly recommend Brant to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter, and I will absolutely use his services again in the future.
Would highly recommend Samantha! She took amazing care of our dog Thibault and he was all smiles the whole drive home when we picked him up. Samantha kept us up to date with many photos and videos throughout the day as well. We are planning to book with Samantha again!
Oreo and Oslo recently stayed with Janice for almost two weeks, and they had a wonderful time. She kept me updated every day with photos, videos, and messages, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. The dogs came home happy, clean, fluffy, and clearly very well cared for, despite the rainy weather during their stay. I could tell they received lots of attention and affection. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Janice again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Markham on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Markham home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Markham
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 dog, 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 .
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
- 86% 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.
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.
