“This past weekend, December 12–14, Amanda looked after our pup, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. We had never left our pup with anyone before, so we were understandably nervous. Amanda immediately put us at ease by doing a meet and greet beforehand, keeping us updated 3–4 times a day, and returning our pup happy and relaxed. She even took him to Value Pet for a photo with the Grinch 😂 — absolutely adorable and above and beyond what we expected. I would 100% recommend Amanda to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to take care of their pup. 🐾💛”
“Monique was amazing with my Sweet Pea! She sent photos of their time together. I was scared leaving my baby with someone she didn’t know. After the first communication with photos, I felt at easy and could enjoy my evening knowing my baby was well looked after. Thanks again Monique 🩷🩷🐾🐾”
“Loryn took such amazing care of Milo and Willie. We got daily updates and pictures and in all of them they looked so happy. We will definitely be using her services again and again. Thanks Loryn!!!”
“Great communication from beginning to end! They send regular updates about going for walks, sleeping, etc. Thanks for helping us out for the long weekend!”
“Super anxious leaving my cat in someone's care for the first time. Julia made things so much less stressful for me. Multiple updates a day with pictures. Misty looked like she was stress-free in Julia's care. I will be using Julia in the future :)”
“Maya was incredible with Leo and he managed to adjust in no time! She kept us regularly updated on how Leo was doing and was also able to take him in on such short notice! Leo came home a really happy boy ◡̈ Thank you Maya!”
“Samantha is a really great dog boarder and looked after our Chloe so well. As a first time boarding with Samantha, Chloe felt immediately comfortable, not easy for a reactive dog and a testament to Samantha’s handling. Will be happy to use Samantha in the future and I know Chloe will be well looked after.”
“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!”
“Kyla-Lea was very welcoming and kept us up to date with photos and messages. She was also very quick to answer messages. Tucker enjoyed his stay and will definitely be back for some more fun!”
“Anchana tool great care of Husky and shared photos and videos to make us feel relaxed. Her pet is also friendly and Husky enjoyed the stay. Would definitely booking with her in future.”
“Rachel and Colin were amazing! They are extremely friendly, very flexible with making arrangements, took great care of Coco while I was away. She provided daily updates and pictures. I would recommend them to anyone that is looking to care for their dogs. Very happy with them and would book with them without hesitation!”
“Thank you once again, Natalie and Daniel, for watching Millie while we were away for the weekend. We loved getting updates on Millie’s time with you. It really helped us, as we always miss her. We are so thankful for the great care you provide and know that Millie is in good hands. Sincerely, Claire”
“Vanessa was great with our puppy. Her home is well equipped and clean. She sent me tons of updates and made us feel comfortable leaving our 3.5 month old puppy with her. I highly recommend!”
“We had such a great experience with Kumudini!! She took amazing care of our 9-year-old Morkie, who has severe anxiety, and made sure he felt safe and comfortable the whole time. She kept us constantly updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. He was well-fed, cared for, and protected as if he were her own. Overall, she went above and beyond, and we truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him. Highly recommend!”
“Maria is wonderful! She watched our dog for 5 days while we were away and sent many pictures and updates. Mipha came home happy and pooped! We are very grateful to have found someone so close by who can take such wonderful care of our dog!”
“Siddharth and his family took exceptional care of our dog, Chewie, while we were away on a two-week vacation. From the very beginning, we felt completely at ease knowing Chewie was in such loving hands. We received regular updates with photos, and Chewie looked genuinely happy and relaxed in every single one. We were also kept informed about how well he was eating and what his days looked like, which we truly appreciated. One of the biggest signs of how well he was cared for was when we picked Chewie up—he wasn’t overly excited to see us, which honestly said it all. It was clear he felt comfortable, secure, and loved in their home. The photos showed Chewie interacting with all members of the family, including even the tiniest new additions, which was incredibly heartwarming. Siddharth and his family are true dog lovers—possibly even more than we are, which we didn’t think was possible! We couldn’t have asked for a better home for Chewie while we were away, and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, attentive care for their dog.”
“Karen tool great care of Milo. I got updates from her, and pictures, which was so sweet! Milo had a great time with Karen, and look forward to booking with her again, and again! Thanks so much for caring for my little guy!!”
“Holly and Jerome were fantastic dog sitters! I was a nervous wreck having to leave our energetic pup for the first time but they allowed me to set up a meeting prior to booking which put my mind at ease. They are very quick to communicate with and sent me updates of how Finn was doing throughout his overnight stay. I think Finley loved his stay and he was a tired pup when he came home! I will definitely be using their boarding services again!”
“Pragna and Aditya were absolutely wonderful. Beau enjoyed so much! Very got timely updates and pics about Beau. I was not stressed at all. They took care of Beau just like their own furry baby. Thanks you both so much!”

Fantastic interaction from beginning to end! Our first time using Rover and Cecily reassured me that my dogs would be fine (and of course they were!). Cecily even walked my massive childish German Shepard and showed us a better harness set up to make him walk better! They came home relaxed and happy. We have rebooked for another sitting. Thank you Cecily we appreciate everything you have done for Angus and Bean.
The most amazing sitter and pet care giver ever. Don't need to even think twice ! Constant updates, and the right kind of attention. Plus her dog will be a great companion for you pups. Will bring my 2 dogs back to her anytime she's available and she will be my first choice.
Tanisha’s boarding service has been nothing short of amazing! I received updates, pictures and she’s very accommodating…Such a great experience highly recommend! As I’d definitely use her services again!!! My dog was definitely taken care of 🥰 Thank you again Tanisha for such a wonderful service!
Lori once again , provided a great little holiday for Gracie. My husband and I had a wonderful time away and Gracie did too. We received pictures and updates of our little dog going about her daily activities with Lori.We would certainly book with Lori again because we know that she is in good hands.
Mia looked completely comfortable with Sharai,which was a relief. Sharai did a great job of keeping in touch with us and sharing photos of Mia. We felt reassured that Mia was being well taken care of. Thank You for taking care of our girl! We'll book with you 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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Oshawa is $51 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $70 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
sitters in Oshawa have an average of 13 years of experience. Each sitter has their own unique experience and skill sets for different types of pets. You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile. Look at other pet parent reviews and repeat pet parent booking rates for an idea of their pet care exp erience.

- 85% 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
You and your Oshawa sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
