“Thank you to Tia and her family for taking such great care of our boy while we were away! We received updates and photos to let us know how it was going. He came back home very happy, tired and clean!”
“Ginny was absolutely the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Everything from her genuine love for dogs, communication, and even the location. She was so responsive, kept us updated with photos often. Our girl Daisy loved her so much and we felt so reassured the whole time we were away. It was a vacation for our dog and we plan to send her back to Ginny often. I cannot say enough positive things, she is PHENOMENAL!”
“Karen took such wonderful care of my cat, Neo, while I was away on vacation. She went above and beyond by sending daily updates, along with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from the start that Neo was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. Karen is fantastic with cats—her warmth and attentiveness really shine through, and it made all the difference. She was also incredibly flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I’m so glad I chose Karen, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”

About: Hello! I’m Niroji. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have a dog named Alfie, and through caring for him, I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of dogs’ unique personalities and needs. I’ve also enrolled him in socialization classes, which has helped me learn more about canine behavior and creating positive experiences for dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for many dogs for friends and family, whether for a few hours, daily walks, or overnight stays. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I understand that every dog is different, and I strive to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide regular walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I also have family members who love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, so your pup will always have company and care. 🐾 I provide a safe, calm, and supervised environment for every pet in my care. At my home, dogs are always closely monitored and have access to a fully fenced backyard with a secure, locked gate for safe outdoor play. I also have a friendly dog of my own who can offer companionship and social interaction, depending on your dog’s comfort level.
“Mira and Charles took excellent care of our dog, Bentley! Before the stay, they asked lots of good questions about his personality and needs, so they could provide him with the best possible care. While we were away, they shared frequent updates and lots of photos and videos with us. We wouldn't hesitate to have them look after Bentley again.”
About: I’ve taken care of our family dog for 7 years. I have fed, walked, bathed and groomed our furry friend and do regular playdates in the park. I have also taken cared of my sister in law’s pet dog when she goes away for vacation. My primary goal is to provide a safe, fun, and stress-free environment for the pets I care for. I offer peace of mind to pet owners, knowing that their beloved companions are in the hands of someone who genuinely cares for and cherishes them. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I ensure my pets are fed, exercised, and given love and attention throughout the day. Regular walks, playtime, and grooming keep them happy and healthy. In my home, I care for pets by providing regular meals, fresh water, exercise, and mental stimulation. I groom them, ensure veterinary check-ups, and maintain clean living areas. Love, attention, and positive training create a nurturing and happy environment for my pets.
“We recently left our dog Mylo with Hao for a week, for the first time. Mylo came back home happy, energetic like he had gone to his second home. Hao is reliable and responsive. He kept us updated with photos throughout the boarding and it gave us peace of mind that Mylo was in good hands and enjoying himself. We will definitely return to Hao for future boarding. Thank you Hao for boarding Mylo.”
“Susan and Gordon have a comfortable home. They are very loving towards their dog. Our pup had a wonderful time there! We will hire Susan and Gordon again for a longer period of time.”
“Lucy's second stay with Rebecca and Janet was amazing... again. She just loves staying with them. They treat our sweet girl like she was their own. We will definitely be back 😊”
“Yogita and Dibakar took such good care of our dog when we went away for the long weekend! They were very responsive and sent us updates multiple times a day. We were able to enjoy the weekend knowing that our dog was in excellent hands! We’ll definitely think of them the next time we plan to be out of town.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pickering
We are very happy with the loving care provided by Alexa and Andrew to our fur baby Rex. Our pet dog was very well taken care of while we were away for a weekend attending a funeral. Both Alexa and Andrew were amazing with rex and we will gladly use them again and recommend them to anyone. They gave us daily updates with pictures. We really appreciate their service. Thank you Alexa and Andew!
Andrew and Alexa went beyond and above taking care of Charlie. Our baby is very challenging due to past experiences and high energy level that Charlie needs effective and efficient strategies to make his day fun and not boring. Alexa and Andrew did incredible care for our baby that when he gets home after our 6-days vacation, Charlie became calm and compliant with directions during walks and when playing indoors. In my own perspective, their passion and discipline strategies with dogs will make them qualified dog trainers. If there is an award for best dog caretakers, I will vote for them. Now, we can book our vacation without worrying who will take care of Charlie. Thank you Alexa and Andrew for the excellent service.
Ella loves her stays with her best friend Zuzuuu .. thank you Heli and Chintankumar for always taking such great care of her.. she always comes back with happy tail wags and super fun energy. Appreciated all the updates though out the week and knowing Ella is with you I never worry and actually get to enjoy my vacation. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your fur baby look no further.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Pickering on Rover is $52.43 per night (as of July 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 .

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.
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.
