“Loki’s first stay with Louise and Jeffrey was amazing!!! We were a bit worried to leave him , but quickly felt very safe and at ease. They kept us updated with photos and great communication—it really helped. Loki was so well cared for and happy. Seems like now Loki is missing his dog sitters) Thank you—we’ll definitely be back!”
“We were very pleased with the care and updates while we left our pup with Luis. He seemed very comfortable and enjoyed his walks and treats. We will definitely be back when we need a pet sitter. Thank you again!”
“A fantastic sitter! I cannot recommend them enough. Daisy is a little hesitant with people outside of the family but she was thrilled to be back with Ethan. I personally also love the photos and videos he sends over regularly.”
“Raquel, Greg, and their family provided exceptional care for Pickles. I was delighted to receive daily updates filled with photos and notes that showcased their time together; these updates were the highlight of our day. Mina, their sweet puppy, was especially affectionate, showering Pickles with love and cuddles, and it was heartwarming to see how quickly they became the best of friends. Raquel took both Pickles and Mina on daily hikes, allowing them to explore the great outdoors, discover new trails, and enjoy the beauty of nature together, which was truly wonderful. They ensured that Pickles felt comfortable and secure, creating a warm and loving environment where he could thrive. It was clear that they treated Pickles as if he were their own child, providing him with endless love, attention, and plenty of playtime, whether it was through games in the yard or snuggling on the couch. Their dedication and genuine affection made me feel completely at ease knowing Pickles was in such caring hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a loving and attentive pet-sitting experience.”
“Poppy and Clover were well cared for by Natalie. They had a large space to acclimate to and to explore. This was their first time away from home and we were anxious pet parents. Natalie shared pics and updates and was flexible around our drop off/pick up needs and responsive with messages through the app. We would definitely leave our precious cats with her again!”
“Dear Peter, Lilian and all the family thank you very much for being a family for my dog Molly 💖 while I was in a trip. My dog is very specific and do not allow pet her to the people. But she was happy to stay in Peters family. Peter sent me lots of photos during the day. I am happy to find this amazing, friendly family. Now I now on 200% that I found great friends 💖 Thanks 🤩”
“BOOK WITH AMANDA AND PAUL!! If you are stressed about leaving your dog, now you do not have to worry. Amanda and paul provide a great place where you do not have to stress about leaving your furry friend. They are great with communication and provide fast updates. Nothing negative at all to say. Our dog loves families so it was great to have a family where he can feel at home. Will definitely use them again.”
“Lisa and family were so wonderful. They were the perfect fit for our puppy Ruby! Lisa shared photos and updates throughout the weekend. Ruby had many walks and enjoyed the company of all family members! It was so nice to be able to go away and know our pup was in such great care. We’ll definitely book Lisa again.”
“Lihua, Haoshu and family took great care of Pearl for 8 days over this holiday season. They followed all the instructions and more importantly treated Pearl like their own. Their kids played with Pearl frequently and from the videos they shared frequently it was evident that Pearl had a great time. Would highly recommend and not hesitate leaving Pearl again with them”
“It was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving my dog with anyone other than family for that matter. From the very start Angela was super patient and helpful, especially in reassuring me that my dog would be well taken care of. She took the time to get to know my dog and I and showed genuine interest in understanding how best to care for my dog. She even cooked my dog chicken and beef when she refused to eat her kibble (probably due to her first time staying with someone unfamiliar)! Overall, leaving my dog in Angela's care really put me at ease and her daily updates were very much appreciated! I would without a doubt recommend her and entrust my dog in her care again!”
“Thank you for another amazing stay. Molly had a fantastic time. Thank you for sharing the videos and messages - reassuring me that she was in great hands and having fun. Lastly the bandana is super adorable!!! Thank you!”
“Paul and Isabelle are amazing! Levi had the best time staying with them. He felt right at home from the moment he arrived and loved playing in their backyard. They kept me updated with photos and messages throughout his stay, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear he was happy and well cared for. I can’t wait for Levi’s next visit in August. I highly recommend them!”
“Leaving our Dorothy with Pam is so easy, as we know she’s in excellent hands and being treated like one of the family. Pam is so inviting, and sweet and truly loves dogs and it shows from the updates to the photos to the welcoming drop off and the sad to see them go goodbyes at the end, we know she’s in the best place!”
“Anna was wonderful to deal with and I know she took great care of my little Roxy. I highly recommend Anna to anyone in need of overnight boarding. Her facilities (home) are first rate including the large fenced in yard and Roxy very much enjoyed her stay. Thank you Dr. Anna !”
“Amy took such great care of our very timid dog, who hates being away from us. I felt very comfortable knowing that she was being cared for and treated so well! Would definitely recommend!”

This was my first time leaving Brownie with Melissa, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I dropped him off, Melissa went above and beyond. She proactively sent regular updates and photos throughout his stay without me ever having to ask, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear from every update that Brownie was happy, comfortable, and being treated like one of her own. Melissa took him on walks, played with him, made sure he felt at home, and was even kind enough to accommodate an extra night when my plans changed. Her communication was outstanding, and her genuine love for dogs shines through in everything she does. Leaving your dog with someone requires a great deal of trust, and Melissa earned mine completely. I was able to truly enjoy my time away knowing Brownie was in such caring and capable hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a sitter who will care for their dog as if they were family. Brownie and I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Melissa!
Very grateful to Sharon for keeping good care of our dog Maple for 4 nights. Sharon sent photos and videos of our happy dog and kept us updated on how Maple was settling in. Sharon was able to follow Maple’s special diet, and administer her daily medications. Thank you very much! Highly recommend Sharon for all dog boarding needs.
The best dog boarder. Our dog was on his own vacation with Raquel and her family. He swam in her pool, enjoyed hiking in the park and the companionship of the house dog, Mina. Our dog also enjoyed all the hugs and affection from the family especially, from her husband, Greg who cheered with our dog during the soccer, FIFA matches. Many photos were sent to me during the dog’s stay with Raquel for peace of mind that my dog was well looked after. Highly recommend this loving family.
This is the first time using Rover and wow I picked well. Louise and Jeffrey were absolutely fantastic! My pup suffers with anxiety and they both showed so much love and understanding to her. I had daily communications and photos of how she was doing . My pups first time away from us and she had a wonderful time. I will not hesitate to use Louise and Jeffrey again, it was a brilliant experience from start to finish
I highly recommend Shuxian she takes such great care of Maggie my labradoodle. I have been leaving Maggie since August 2024 . Received daily updates and pictures while away on my two week vacation. Knowing that Maggie is well taken care of means a lot. She misses Chestnut 😊
Bonnie and her husband were absolutely wonderful with Penny! They took care of her like she was their own pup, providing all of the necessities but also going over and above by playing with her and teaching her new tricks! I also loved the frequent updates along with pictures. Thank you for taking the best care of our pup!
David is an amazing dog sitter, we will certainly rebook In the future! We received great updates of pictures, videos, and feedback on how our dog was adjusting to the new environment. We felt completely assured that our dog was in the best hands throughout the week, and that he will actually miss being in David’s care, as he had a great week with many experiences during fun walks ⭐️
This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience. Lisa and her family are incredibly kind, and it’s clear they genuinely love dogs. My husband and I immediately felt at ease and knew Hudson would be well taken care of. If Hudson could speak, I’m sure he’d say he had a fantastic time. We really appreciated the updates and the care they showed throughout his stay. It made the whole experience stress-free for us. We would absolutely trust Lisa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you Lisa and family!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Oakville on Rover is $61.05 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 Oakville 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 Oakville
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:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% 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.
