“Meaghen and her girls were great with Dyson! He was comfortable and so happy there. We are lucky we found her last minute and she took him in without hesitation. We will definitely ask Meaghen to watch Dyson again during our next stay in Cobourg!”

“Dayna is fabulous. Our 4 year old stayed with her overnight and she was very easy to deal with. We like the fact she has her own dog who seems very chilled and whom our guy could have some playtime with. She sent us photos where we could see our guy was having a good time with them. We had a last minute change of plans for pick up and Dayna kindly helped us out. Will use again very soon!”

“Dana and Robert are amazing! They watched my two mini poms at their home while I was away for 9 days. I had a lot of anxiety as this was my first time using them, I have never been away from my poms this long and they both have major separation anxiety when I'm away and my one pom has severe medical issues that can be triggered by stress. It made me feel better meeting them, knowing they have lots of glowing reviews and that this is literally all they do. They both care for dogs full time and were so accommodating with me, following all my instructions to the tee. My dogs don't do great with other dogs, so they blocked off the whole week just for me so that it would just be my poms in their home which meant so much to me. They are on a raw food diet which required extra feeding steps and they had no issue with this. I told Dana to feel free to spam me with messages as it would make me feel better checking in on them when I need to. She didn't require any responses back that took me away from my family and vacation, but anytime I wanted to check in on them there was about 30 + messages for the day I could quickly skim through to have peace of mind, even detailing all bowel movements (part of an indicator of my pom with the medical issues was doing), if they ate all their food, them playing, their walks, and lots of cuddle time with Dana and Robert. My one pom in particular is wary of anyone outside our family and does not cuddle with others, but after the first day, he was cuddled right in with Dana and it was clear in the videos and pics that they were both very happy and enjoyed being there. Despite my one pom in particular being very co-dependent with me and his medical issues generally triggered by stress and change, he had no issues! It was such a relief finding Dana and Robert and I will be using them on all future trips and recommending them to all my family and friends!”

“Janine took care of our two very busy Labradors for a week. We are so happy we chose her and her home for our boys. She updated us daily with pics of them playing and having a blast. She took such great care of them. They came home happy and well loved. Thanks again, Janine and June 🐶🐶”

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I helped raise my childhood dog from puppyhood through their senior years, giving me firsthand experience with dogs of all ages and energy levels. Since I work remotely, I've also had the pleasure of caring for dogs for family and friends, and I always enjoy having a four-legged coworker during the day. My flexible work-from-home schedule allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I'll treat your pup like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I work remotely in a flexible role, which allows me to easily adapt to your dog's regular routine and needs. Whether your pup is used to scheduled walks, specific mealtimes, frequent potty breaks, or extra playtime, I'm able to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Because I'm home during working hours, your dog will have plenty of companionship, supervision, and opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and affection. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible while you're away. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I live on a quiet one-acre property in the countryside, which makes walks and outdoor time easy and enjoyable. I'm also within walking distance of a great local park that dogs love exploring. My home is a spacious bungalow, so there's plenty of room for your pup to relax, play, and make themselves comfortable. Since everything is accessible on the main floor, it's also a great setup for senior dogs or those who aren't fans of stairs. If your dog is crate-trained, I have lots of space to accommodate their crate as well. I know every dog has their own routine and personality, so I'll do my best to stick to what they're used to—whether that's specific mealtimes, regular walks, play sessions, or just lots of attention and cuddles. My goal is to make sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
“If we could give 6 out of 5 stars to Marie, we would!! We left our two VERY busy girls, Mandy (5 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback/staffy mix) and Hazel (3.5 year old chocolate lab) with Marie for 14 nights while we went away, and one extra night when our flight got changed (thank you for your flexibility, Marie!). We were so hesitant to leave our babies, but Marie alleviated every worry from our initial meet and greet through the two weeks of boarding. All communications with Marie were thorough and timely. She provided a list of things she required to best care for our girls (equipment, commands, routines, etc). She sent daily updates and pictures, which usually consisted of several long walks, and play time in her indoor enclosed arena, which is perfect to wear out our actives girls! Marie spent every evening with them snuggled on the couch and/or playing with toys. You can tell Marie knows dogs, loves dogs, and is passionate about ensuring your pet is cared for to the highest degree. We felt our girls were a high priority and were very well taken care in Marie’s care. We are so happy to have found Marie and will be recommending her to all our friends and family!!”

“Lisa was great She gave our Mackie a warm family atmosphere in her home and her dog and ours got along so feel it was like they were related. I have a feeling she spoiled him during his stay. She sent us pictures that prove this. Thanks Lisa and I would highly recommend her”

“Martha took amazing care of my two girls, you can tell she truly cares about the dogs she watches. She was always quick to respond and sent many videos and picture updates. My girls came home very happy and if I ever need a sitter in the area again I wouldn’t hesitate to leave them with her.”

“Graham was amazing… our pug Frank was well taken care of! Graham took the time to send pics and updates to us regularly to let us know how Frank was doing. We would absolutely take Frank back again!”

About: I’m an active dog lover who spends my days walking my own energetic Blue Heeler, hiking local trails, and heading to the beach. I offer reliable dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting with plenty of attention and care. I am home weeknight evenings and available all days on weekends. In summer I have full availability to meet your pets needs at any time! I can also offer training and enrichment if requested. My own dog can be slow to warm up to new dogs, but we have a large home and are happy to keep her fully separated for safety and comfort whenever needed - although she would love to play once comfortable. Your pet will get personalized care in a calm, loving environment! I am currently working full time as a teacher but I am home most days by 4:30pm. I have full availability to be home and care for your pets during the summer. I have a large home with plenty of space for your dog to run and play. I have my own dog who takes a bit of warming up but then will keep your fur baby company! I have an unfenced yard with a leash for potty breaks but can also go for lots of walks. I am happy to crate your pup if they are crate trained. I can offer training and enrichment as requested!
“Andrea was very great at communicating and Made sure both our dog and us were comfortable. Winston seemed to have a wonderful time, and was tired out from walks and adventures with Andrea. As long as Andrea will have us, we will certainly use her again!”

“Danielle was the PERFECT choice to watch our boy Taco while we had to attend an out of town wedding. She was a great communicator before and during his stay and kept this anxious mama up to date on how and what he was doing. She even camped out in the living room with him overnight so he would feel safe and secure. I could tell Taco was very comfortable there. I highly recommend Danielle as a sitter for your pet.”

About: I’ve helped care for dogs since I was 9 years old. From puppies to seniors, big and small, there’s no dog I won’t care for. I work full time Monday to Friday, but my evenings and weekends are usually free. I have occasionally have online activities, but your pet will always have priority. I have a large yard for potty breaks, and live on a very quiet road for walks. Our house is large enough for playtime sessions.
About: For my whole life, I have always had family dogs. As an adult, I got my own family dog and he’s so loved! Dogs always made me feel save, loved and at peace. They are so loyal, loveable, and perfect to talk to. I am the first person my friends and family ask to watch their precious fur babies while they go on vacation, short or long stays, or even to let them out to the bathroom or feed them if they are running late. I have an open house for dogs to roam. They are welcome to wander around and make use of my backyard. I have a doggy pool for dogs to cool off in the warm and hot days, I have dog beds to supply if needed. I have experience in raw diets along with kibble. I love getting out and taking dogs for walks, and hikes. I have great trails near my house. I don’t mind giving your dogs a baths along with brushing them. I am a great listener, a friendly face and an awesome cuddler. My hours are very flexible as I am a stay at home mom and I dont mind a little commute, I have my own transportation. I have a 9 year old boxer who loves to play with other dogs. I promise your puppies vacay will be a fun one! I am currently a stay at home mama. We have a little 1 year old daughter who’s bright and cheerful. If you don’t mind your dogs around a little one, and they are child friendly, we’d love to accommodate your furry friend. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I have lots of time to play with your puppy and give them as much attention as they need! I have a fully fenced in yard on an acre, lots of room to run and explore. I also have cameras all around our property.
“Thank you Jane & Gordon for taking such wonderful care of my little guy Schnitzel! Jane & Gordon are such communicative, easygoing, and kind people. I felt so calm with him in their capable hands, and I could tell how happy and well-cared for he was when i went to pick him up! Thank you both again!”

About: From a very young age, I have always had a love of animals whether they had four legs or scales. Growing up I rode horses, had 2 dogs, and at points also had guinea pigs, bearded dragons, fish, and bunnies. However, my best buddy growing up was my Australian Shepherd, Shiloh. Shiloh was ultimately the reason growing up I found a passion for the outdoors and hiking. Spending as much time as possible either on walks around the neighbourhood, hiking through local trails, camping, cottaging, swimming, or at the dog park with my best buddy. As a dog walker/sitter, I understand that our animals are not just animals, but are also our family. They are our honorary family members that need to be loved, protected, and cherished along with giving them the best quality of life possible. Exercise and being outside and around nature is so critical to a dog having its best quality of life. With a flexible schedule, I can cater to your dogs needs and give them the exercise and outside time they need whether that's on a nature hike, or just a walk through your local neighbourhood. Having a car also allows me to get to your pooch wherever they may be in a timely manner, and take them to local parks if requested. I am ultimately a happy and warm individual who keeps their energy calm and who is happy to play with your pup, give them a good walk, or even practice reinforcing basic training that you've been working on with your pup. Whether that be reinforcing basic commands on walks or giving behavioral guidance. For those with rambunctious dogs, I am happy to run around and play with your dog or take them on long walks, along with feeling comfortable and calm with your pooch and being stern when necessary. As your dog's parent, my ultimate goal is to give you the comfort of knowing your dog is being well taken care of, while also giving your pooch a well-rounded and positive experience. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I look forward to working with you, and your furry family member. Currently, my schedule is completely open to care for your pet on the terms that you need so that I can work around YOUR schedule. I can completely situate my schedule to your pets needs, and make sure that they get all the attention and care that is required. At my home, I currently have a 4 year old lab who loves people and other dogs. She is good with cats, and will be happy to play with your dog. For overnight visits or day visits, I am happy to visit your home where I will be respectful and will keep my phone on me if I ever need to be contacted. My apartment is currently situated in West-End Toronto, close to the waterfront, local trails, and a short distance to the beautiful high park. Animals that stay overnight here will be cared for and given the utmost respect as if they were my own animal. I will do all that I can to make sure your animal feels comfortable, loved, and having a good time so they are less likely to be sad when away from their owners/parents. I am happy to do things on your terms with any special requests or schedules being respected and followed. My parent's house is also a short distance away where they have a fenced-in backyard if your dog is interested in playing with their husky.

Highly recommend Anhi! She’s very caring, sent me regular updates and took good care of our senior dog Bella. She is on a special diet and has many quirks for senior lady that some may not wish to handle. Anhi fit her schedule around our last minute booking, shifted things around to accommodate us and took great care of Bella. We’re so thankful and would use her services again! Highly recommend!

Patricia provided excellent care for my two cats for 5 days. She sent many daily updates, including photos and videos of the cats. I could tell right away that she was very attentive to their needs, and helped them feel at home in their home away from home. She played with them often, and encouraged them to feel comfortable in her space. She's incredibly knowledgeable about cats, and it's clear that she really enjoys spending time with them. It was my first time leaving my cats with someone else overnight, and I would absolutely do it again.

Fanta had a fantastic day with Loganne. I received picture updates and messages throughout the day which was awesome and reassuring. Fanta looked happy and was so comfortable she curled up and went to sleep. Would definitley recommend Loganne and will reach out again in the future. Drop off and pick up were quick and simple. Thank You Loganne!

Ellie instantly bonded to Rojina ( Seyyedehhosna) which put us at ease. Her daily updates including pictures showed us how happy she was and the excellent care she was receiving. Rojina's love for all animals is very evident and we would definitely recommend her to other pet owners.

Christine is a very warm, very friendly caring person and it was obvious from the moment she met our two dogs they would be in wonderful hands with her! One of our dogs is very shy, yet she took to Christine very quickly. Their home is perfect in terms of the layout and with a fenced back yard. Christine sent us photos over the 3 day period and is very responsive in her replies. One of our dogs is challenged to navigate stairs however Christine had a gate to prevent her from going up the stairs and potentially hurting herself. We would definitely book Christine again to care for our two dogs!!
Brooke was terrific with our Springer Spaniel. Murphy received lots of attention, many walks and Brooke had the flexibility to spend time with him in the morning, at mid-day and evening. Murphy was very happy and content when we picked him up. I would definitely use Brooke again when needed.
I’m so grateful to have found Vanessa to look after my dog, Kenzo, for three days. She was incredibly communicative and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Kenzo bonded with her right away you can truly tell she’s loving, patient, and understands dogs. She even went above and beyond by offering pickup and dropoff, which was so helpful. I would absolutely recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Kenzo will definitely be visiting her again!

I would happily ask Rhonda to dog sit for me again (and I plan to!). She spent a week with my dog while I was on vacation and not only took great care of him, but my home as well - she went above and beyond. She was extremely communicative and even sent me photos while I was away and it looked like they had a great time. My dog has some trust issues and Rhonda really managed him well. He seemed to really like her and let down his guard. Thank you so much again Rhonda, you were fantastic! We look forward to seeing you again. :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Peterborough on Rover is $57.72 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
