“Lylle was absolutely amazing! He looked after my German Shepherd, Alpha, for about a week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, he was incredibly kind, communicative, and professional. He also has such a wonderful family, and Alpha clearly loved being around them he looked so happy and comfortable the entire time. Lylle took exceptional care of Alpha, regularly sending me photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. Lylle made the whole process effortless. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Truly a 10/10 experience! ⭐️”
About: My husband and I are passionate dog lovers and have been caring for pets of all sizes for over 5 years. We truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are in our care. We have a 3-year-old Golden Retriever who is very friendly and loves being around both dogs and people. He is well-socialized and enjoys having furry friends around. We train him at home and have worked on basic obedience, manners, and good behavior. We understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and needs. We are happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule, including walks, playtime, feeding routines, and plenty of love and attention. Our goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you peace of mind while you’re away. My husband and I both work from home, which gives us a flexible schedule and allows us to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. We are able to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. We have a dog-friendly home where dogs are welcome to roam freely and feel comfortable rather than being kept in a separate room or confined for long periods. Our own Golden Retriever is part of our family and enjoys having other dogs around. Because we work from home, we can provide companionship throughout the day and keep a close eye on your pet. We are happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel relaxed, safe, and at home while staying with us. We treat every pet like a member of our family. Since my husband and I both work from home, your pet will have plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. Dogs are welcome to roam freely around our home and relax wherever they feel comfortable. We follow each pet’s individual routine for meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. We also provide plenty of love, cuddles, and supervised playtime, especially with our friendly 3-year-old Golden Retriever. Our home is a calm, loving, and pet-friendly environment, and we always make your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness our priority.
“My two dogs stayed with Amrit for three days. During the stay, she sent us many daily photos and updates and made sure they were in good hands. She is a great communicator and kept us well informed the whole time. They seemed to enjoy their time with Amrit. Highly recommended!”
“Always appreciate having Tia and family take care of our boston terrier as a regular customer. He's always eager to run into their home, get comfortable and always comes back home happy.”
“This was our first time booking with Mira and Charles. From the first communication, they were very prompt and really lovely to work with. It was reassuring knowing their experience and having them be as frequent as we needed with daily updates. Bernard seemed like he had a great time and was well taken care of. Would hire them to sit him again in the future.”
“Diana and Kris did an excellent job. They took good care of our toy poodle Luca who is an active dog and likes to be the centre of attraction. Diana went above and beyond because she was able to teach some tricks to Luca. They consistently sent photos and videos while we were away for 4days and kept us informed about Luca’s well being. It really gave us peace of mind because she was comfortable with them specially with their kids. We were so fortunate to have found a reliable pet sitter for Luca. We highly recommend them!”
“This was the first time I boarded my 4-month old puppy, Tilly. She did pretty good considering it was her first time away from us. She had a few accidents in the house, but Karen was completely understanding. Karen did everything to make Tilly's stay as comfortable in as possible and to comfort her so she wasn't missing us too much. I highly recommend Karen for your daycare/boarding needs.”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Allyson (& her daughter and 3-year-old poodle, Annie) take care of my dog, Lucy, while we were away, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met them, it was clear that they had a genuine love for dogs. Allyson took the time to get to know Lucy, understanding her quirks and needs, which put me at ease right away. She asked all the right questions! During the time Lucy was with Allyson and her family, we received regular updates and adorable photos and videos showing how much fun they were having together. She took Lucy on daily walks, played with her, and even provided a cozy spot for her to nap in front of her fireplace. It was evident that Lucy was well-cared for and happy in all of their company. Her daughter even let Lucy sleep with her at night! Returning home, I found Lucy relaxed and content, which is a testament to the care she received. I highly recommend Allyson to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Lucy and I will definitely be reaching out again for future visits! Thank you for making my time away stress-free!”
“Very accommodating and nice hosts for our german shepherd 🐕. He is not the easiest dog to look after but they could make a good connection with him. Our fog will sure love to stay with them again. 🐾”
“I highly recommend Amanda and Jordans’ dog sitting services. From the initial introduction meeting where we felt extremely comfortable to the end of the 2 week sitting services,the care of our dog (Bella) exceeded expectation.we are very happy that our bella are in good hands and loving Home. Everyday while we were away, out of country on vacation we received pictures and updates of Bellas’ stay. We would definitely use their services again. Thank you Amanda Jordan the 2 boys and also frankie for welcoming bella and taking good care of her while we are away we are so grateful to find someone that really look after our dog with love and treat her like a family”
“Caroline is great with dogs and took great care of our baby while we were away. She has a great fenced in yard with lots of lawn and a nice neighbourhood for walks. We will be using her again for sure!”
“Siddharth and his wife were super friendly and accommodating. They took very good care of our baby Ceasar and sent us regular pictures and updates. I will be boarding Caesar again with them in the future with no worries.”
“Thank You for Taking Such Great Care of Robin! We’re so grateful for the love and attention you gave Robin while we were away. He came back happy and well cared for, and your regular updates gave us real peace of mind. Your kindness and reliability mean so much to us—we’d gladly recommend you and look forward to reaching out again.”
“I chose Liz as my sitter the fist time I used Rover and will always choose her. She is fantastic and she updated me about my puppy's stay with lovely pictures. For sure, I will choose her next time if I need.”
“We're super happy with the care they provided. Our dog had lots of play times, walks at parks and by the water, and they sent tons of pics of him enjoying adventures. They are clearly dog lovers and spoiled him. Highly recommend!”
“Not the first or last time booking with Heli, she always takes such great care of Ella, and I trust her 100%% Ella loves hanging out with her buddy Zuzu. 10/10 recommend, very professional, caring and always keeping me updated with how Ella is doing while I am away.”
“Ankur and Krupa were great hosts. They send constant updates regarding your pet, photos and videos as well. I did not have to worry about my pet when I was away. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a peaceful away time.”
“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!”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Pickering on Rover is $52.43 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 4,748 sitters on Rover offering Pet Boarding across Pickering. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
