“Rafael and his wonderful family have truly become Snowball’s home away from home. I exclusively board her with them because I know she’s always loved, safe, and treated like part of their family. I’m so grateful for the care and warmth they give her every time! 💕🐾”
“I had an excellent experience with Bonnie as our dog sitter. My dog was truly happy and relaxed the entire time, and I really appreciated the constant updates and photos. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Bonnie!”
“Karen took such great care of Milo during our long weekend getaway. She made sure he had plenty of potty breaks, walks and sent plenty of pictures. Highly recommend you send your pup to her if you want them to feel loved and at home!”
“Jen was so helpful being our doggy safety net during a night of bad weather and changing plans while we were attending business in Oakville. Very kind and flexible with my dog's well being her priority. Thanks Jen. See you for sure next time!”
“So this was my first time using Rover and am I glad that I found Julietta on here to take care of my 2 dogs. Not only is Julietta a thorough professional, but she goes out of her way to make sure that your dogs are comfortable. She was very caring and loving towards my dogs. She took amazing care of them. I initially booked for 3 days of boarding but because of a travel issue, we had to leave the dogs with her for 2 more days. She was so accommodating..Even though it was such a stressful situation, she reached out and told me not to worry at all and she would be happy to take care of the dogs for the 2 additional days. She bought them toys. You can tell that she actually loves dogs. My older dog typically has separation anxiety but I could tell that he was very happy when I went to pick him up. He wasn't stressed out as he usually is if I ever have to drop him off at a kennel. I will certainly be going back to Julietta if I ever have to drop off my dogs for a few days.. I highly recommend her. She is an amazing person.”
About: I have an active 5 yr old rescue dog who I initially fostered. We have tried a number of dog sports training including barn hunt, sprinter, lure and weight pull. I volunteer with a local rescue and am very well educated on dog body language, training, reactivity and fulfillment. I have also worked with a professional dog trainer so I'm happy to maintain consistency in your training journey. On walks I like to focus on the dog being able to sniff and explore their environment. I believe that walks are for the dog so I let them dictate most of it as long as its safe. I also like to take moments to build your dog's confidence through play and urban agility. If there is any training you would like me to keep up on walks such as loose leash walking, I will gladly do so. I work a hybrid schedule and would be available for daycare and boarding during those days and weekends. Repeat clients will get priority for bookings Safety is my number one priority, baby gates, no indoor plants, no harsh chemicals in/around dogs space, meds/toxic foods are locked away. Crates for safety and separation, no high value chews or toys such as bones left out. Dogs will also be fed in separate spaces to prevent food related guarding. I put a lot of time into training and playing with my dog and any pet in my home will be given the same care
“Amanda and Bryan are amazing! My boxer is a little timing, needing extra love and care and Amanda and her family were so great with him. They treated him like their own, so much so that he was so sad coming home. I would absolutely recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to board with them in the future!”
“Doyel was amazing; got regular updates with pictures. Whole process was stress free and D’s dog Koko was awesome. Groot had great time with Koko at D’s place. Thanks for accepting the last minute booking, your help was much appreciated!”
“Angela and her family made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog with them for almost a week. We received daily updates and we could see that our dog was happy and safe. Thank you for your terrific care!”
“Melanie took such amazing care of our girl that I don’t know how to thank her!! We were on a trip during Victoria Day when there were fireworks and my dog is super scared of loud noises. Melanie and her sweet family comforted her and made her feel safe. They even sang to her to drown out the loud noises!!! She also sent us regular updates and kept us posted on how our dog was doing. I am so so grateful to Melanie and her lovely family, and would not think twice about leaving my dog in her care again. :)”
“Tamarind stayed with Manvi for one night and had a great experience. He was well cared for, fed well, and came home happy and healthy. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Manvi to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“I’m so happy that I discovered your services. Cyndy was amazing and my Yuki-Bear was a very happy puppy. From booking-to drop off to -pickup, everything was smooth. I am grateful that my puppy got such amazing care while I was out of town for a few days.”
“Harley had a wonderful time with Irene! It was our first time boarding Harley overnight and we couldn't be happier with Irene. We love that she only takes one dog at a time and is able to devote so much time and attention to him. He's a bundle of energy and always wants to play and Irene was wonderful with him. She's also very relaxed and easy with him being on the couch and the bed which is great. Irene took amazing care of Harley and he'll definitely be staying with her again in the future!”
“Sharon took excellent care of our golden retriever. She stayed connected with us by sending regular updates. Our dog enjoyed many walks and play time with Summer - he came home happy and exhausted!”
“Lucia and her husband were great. It was my first time using this service, and leaving my dog to be taken care of by someone outside family and friends. Lucia handled my dog's anxiety very well. She was patience with Bronxie and did everything for Bronxie to have a good experiencie, and for us to have an enjoyble time by communicating often with us and providing us with assurance. We are greatful and highly recomend Lucia.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Oakville is $50

We booked our dog Toboggan with Ariana again because he had such a great time with her last time! Ariana sent us regular text updates with photos and videos where we could clearly see our happy dog. It's such a relief knowing that Toboggan is comfortable there because he is not an easy dog and we always have anxiety being away from him. It seems like our anxiety was more than his, which is great because we always worry that he'll be scared or sad. But now our anxiety is lessened too! Ariana's competence, kindness, experience, and warmth is what will make us continue to book with her in the future. :)
We are so grateful to Bonnie for taking such wonderful care of Benny. Bonnie went above and beyond to make sure Benny felt safe, comfortable, and cared for, and it was clear how much genuine love and attention she gave throughout the stay. Bonnie gave us such peace of mind with her kindness, care, and thoughtful updates. Benny came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would wholeheartedly recommend Bonnie to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur babies. ❤️
I had the absolute pleasure of having Melissa B. look after our dog, Zoro, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Melissa is much more than just a professional dog sitter. She is genuinely passionate about what she does, and that passion shows in the incredible love, care, and attention she gives to the dogs she looks after. Zoro had an amazing time with her and was extremely well taken care of. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands, and judging by the photos and updates we received, I think he was even a little spoiled! 😊 I highly recommend Melissa B. to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely passionate about animals. I would absolutely work with her again, and Zoro would definitely be very happy to see her again too!
Aaron was great and took amazing care of our puppy Binou. He was very happy and got to play with other dogs and we got videos and pictures daily. Binou also had a little stomach bug (from eating something he shouldn’t while at home) and Aaron was great about giving medication and providing tailored meals for him. I would highly recommend Aaron.
Kathy took care of our cat Lyla for two weeks. This was our first time using Rover so naturally we were very nervous but Kathy was very easy to communicate with and answered all our questions and concerns prior to the booking. During drop off, Kathy gave Lyla space and time to adjust. Throughout the stay, Kathy sent frequent updates with pictures and videos and we could tell Lyla was super comfortable with her. She even made her a catnip toy! We highly recommend booking with Kathy!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Salvato’s first longer stay away from us. He’s a big, sensitive boy with a very specific routine, a raw diet and supplements, and he can be reactive on walks - so leaving him for five nights is not something we take lightly. Diane was incredibly thoughtful about following all of his care instructions while also making him feel completely at home. The photo updates honestly made us laugh because he looked so thoroughly spoiled and happy - lounging comfortably, getting lots of cuddles and attention, enjoying the yard and clearly feeling like part of the family. She even managed some challenging distractions with him on walks! By the end of the stay, he looked like he had settled into his own little vacation routine. When we came to pick him up, he seemed almost surprised to see us! What meant the most to me was the peace of mind. I’m usually someone who worries when I’m away, and this was one of the very few vacations where I genuinely felt at ease knowing he was safe, understood, loved and being so well cared for. Being able to relax without constantly worrying about him was an enormous gift. We are incredibly grateful to have found a family we can trust with him and, even more importantly, a place where Salvato himself seems genuinely happy and comfortable. Thank you Diane & Sunny for treating our boy like one of your own. ❤️🐾
Our dog Buddy had an amazing 2 week stay with Ethan & family. From the meet & greet I felt confident that Buddy would be looked after really well and would be comfortable and have a happy stay. Ethan surpassed my expectations:) Buddy settled very quickly, Ethan made sure to put Buddy’s needs first and it was great Buddy had the company of Luffy and the other little dogs who visited some days. He loved the big backyard & happily napped & played indoors & outdoors. The daily messages, pictures & videos were really appreciated. I will definitely be checking Ethan’s availability anytime we are away & also future day visits for Buddy to see his friends again is a must. Thank you Ethan
Everything went smoothly, and we had a great experience. We left Indy with Amandeep for two nights, and it looked like he had a wonderful time. We were happy to receive photos of him looking relaxed and content while we were away. We’d definitely recommend Amandeep and would be happy to book with them again!
I had to go on a trip very last minute and Melanie was a great help. There were a lot of issues with my scheduling and she was calm and easy going the entire time. My cats seemed to enjoy staying at her place and daily photo updates were very much appreciated. I look forward to booking her next time again.
Pam always takes great care of our golden doodle and sends regular updates. This trip our flights were cancelled and we had to pick our dog up a day late and Pam was extremely understanding and flexible. Thank you Pam for taking such great care of Lilo! Lilo gets so excited when we say she is going to Pam’s!

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.
