“It was so stress free leaving our Ruby with Mandy. We could see how wonderful of a time she was having with Mandy. I will definitely book with Mandy for all of our vacations.”
“One of the most astounding dog sitter we have ever come across. Our senior dog is very awkward and had a lot of different needs but Kazi took care of everything! Her communication and care to details is what makes her stand out so much. With how much her patience for our senior dog, I know just how much she will be for dogs of all ages i highly recommend her! She is also a photographer which means she will take beautiful photos of your pet as a plus!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better family to look after Diesel than Monique and her wonderful family. From the moment we left him, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and loving hands. Monique went above and beyond to make sure Diesel was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. It was clear he wasn’t just being “looked after” — he was treated like part of their family. We especially appreciated the updates and the genuine affection they showed him. When we picked him up, it was obvious he had been loved and cared for so well. A special thank you to her son as well, who formed such a sweet bond with Diesel. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Monique and her family to anyone looking for trustworthy, kind, and attentive pet care. Thank you again for everything ❤️”
“Wonderful stay - the little one fell asleep in the car on the way home, telling me she had tons of fun and kept super busy during her stay! Pics let us know they we're happy while we were away - thank you for keeping them so well!”
“Loryn was very communicative about how Nova was doing throughout her stay and provided photos often. Nova had a great time with her during her stay and would definitely be back.”
“We left our three year-old retriever, Nora, with Kripa for three days. This was our first time using Rover and, honestly, I was a little nervous, leaving her with a stranger. We had a first meet and greet and all went well. In fact, I was very happy how Nora played in interacted with her dog. When I dropped Nora off, Iimmediately received photos and videos within an hour. I did not expect this to continue, but I was happy to continually get pictures and updated videos of Nora‘s integration, walks, and life throughout the three days we were away. This made myself and my kids so happy to see that we had made such great of choice of boarding. I would definitely use Kripa again. Her communication and punctuality is outstanding. Her house is very clean and she is very easy to talk with. Thank you again for taking such good care of our fur baby!”
“Excellent sitters. They were friendly and took great care of out pup. They sent photos each day during their walks and while the our pup was sleeping. Thank you for being great hosts.”
“Monica is very nice and accommodating, and Winston had a great time staying with her! She made sure Winston was comfortable and happy, and we had no worries while he was sim her care. Thanks Monica!!”
“This was my first experience using Rover and Lori was amazing! Although I (and my dog) was a little nervous at first, Lori immediately made us both feel safe and secure! She provided lots of photos during my dog’s stay and I know she had a fun weekend! Will definitely be booking with Lori again”
“Julia has a friendly and calming personality, and a very clean and welcoming home. She even had spa-like music on when Pompom and I arrived to help my kitty relax. We texted back and forth during the day to keep in touch. When I arrived she had everything all ready to go. I would not hesitate to take Pompom there again if needed :)”
“We would highly recommend Natalie and Dan and their family. They loved and cared for our fur baby like he was their own. We got lots of updates throughout the week which we greatly appreciated. They put our mind at ease.”
“We left Stanley in Maya's care for the past 5 days. She was kind and caring and made sure he was well looked after while we were away. Maya's communication was great, so we were very comfortable knowing our little guy was in good hands. We would happily book with Maya again, and highly recommend her to others.”
“This was our 3rd time leaving Teddy with Lauren. He stayed with her for 5 days. Teddy came back home very happy and Lauren kept us posted by sending regular pictures and videos. We would recommend Lauren anyday😊”
“It was our first time to use Rover so we weren’t sure how it was gonna go. Arlene did amazing with our senior dog (blind & deaf). She was so patient with him. Our dog usually gets really stressed in the past at the kennel but it looked like Snoopy has an amazing time with Arlene. Thank you Arlene!”
“It was Chester’s first time and he was very well taken care of. Pratheeksha updated us with texts and photos during the stay. She made sure he was comfortable and took extra time and effort to make sure he ate properly. Thank you for the love and care he was shown! Will definitely be rebooking again and highly recommend!”
“Samantha was wonderful. She sent pics and updates regularly. Our anxious dog was totally happy and relaxed in every picture. She went above and beyond to make our dog well cared and loved during her visit.”
“Ankur and Krupa did an excellent job taking care of my dog! They communicated very well throughout the day and regularly sent me photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind. When I picked up my dog, they also took the time to explain everything about his day, including what he ate, whether he pooped, and how he was doing overall. It was clear that they genuinely cared for him and paid close attention to his needs. I really appreciate their care, communication, and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend Ankur and Krupa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oshawa
I’m always anxious leaving Ava with someone new, but she settled in right away with Sowmya and her husband and felt right at home! Sowmya kept me reassured with regular photos and videos throughout her stay. Ava was clearly happy and well cared for. I highly recommend them and will definitely book again! ❤️🐾
Faye was an amazing sitter. Our Snowy was well loved and looked after. Faye is very flexible and understanding. She is a pet mom herself so it makes things so much easy. We left Snowy for 2 nights / 3 days; Snowy had so much fun. We will definitely use Faye's services in the future and highly recommend her if you are from the Oshawa area.
Qian was the most phenomenal sitter I could have possibly asked for. When I was looking on Rover I was concerned I wouldn’t find someone that could care for my girl as much as I do, but I was so wrong. Qian sent me tons of updates with photos, reassuring me the entire time as this was my first time being away from my girl. If you are looking for someone to watch your dog that is kind, attentive and caring, I could not recommend Qian enough. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.
Kazi is an amazing dog sitter. Our Rosie always comes back from her home very healthy and happy. We know we can trust our beloved fur baby in the hands of someone so kind and compassionate towards animals. Kazi gives multiple updates and pictures of our dog during the time she is with the sitter. We can rest assured that all is well and that Rosie is in good care. 5 stars for a wonderful experience.
Kripa was truly fantastic with our Murphy, as always. We were so thrilled to find her again on Rover and knew that Murphy would be well looked after. She sent lots of pictures and videos of him having a wonderful time, and we could tell that he thoroughly enjoyed himself. She gave us a full rundown of his stay, and the overall experience, including all the Murphy-isms.
Melissa provided great care for our dog Sadie! She sent us pictures throughout her visit which was wonderful. Even though Sadie has some anxiety away from us, she settled in after awhile and Melissa really seemed to want her to feel comfortable. Once Sadie came back home we could tell she was well cared for and happy. Thank you so much for taking great care of our girl!
This was Axel’s first time boarding with Kayla - Lea. She did a great job with him. The pictures she sent of him while we were away, gave us peace of mind because he looked quite comfortable and happy. He boarded with her picked for 8 days. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her services in the future.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. We couldn't have asked for a better Rover sitter! From the moment we started talking to Zehra, it was obvious how patient, kind, and genuinely caring she is. She is truly the BEST —so calm, encouraging, and completely tuned in to what was needed. Throughout the entire week, she kept us updated with so many photos, videos and messages, which made being away from our pup so much easier. We never once had to wonder how he was doing. He was so happy, comfortable, and loved in her care. Her husband was absolutely wonderful too, and together they made my pup feel like part of their family. Also, their pup and cat are just the sweetest - so calm and well-mannered. We will absolutely see her again and can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of our happy little guy. ❤️

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Oshawa on Rover is $51.06 per night (as of September 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 Oshawa 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 Oshawa
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:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% 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.
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.
