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.

Janine goes above and beyond, keeping us updated with regular “pupdates” and adorable photos that truly put our minds at ease. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gives Hank! thank you Janine!”

About: I'm Jen, a huge fan of all creatures great and small! I've had a passion for rescuing & caring for animals ever since I was a kid and I promise to love your pets as if they were my own. I'm a Durham Region small business owner & have parlayed my heart for animals into this part-time gig. My young family & I have a rambunctious but loveable rescue-mutt named Bowie so I'm more than comfortable with excitable (but friendly) dogs. We don't own a cat but I do love a kitty cuddle whenever the opportunity arises. I know how important these furry members of your family are (they truly are our best friends). I can't wait to meet you and your favourite fur friends! I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend time working with your pets and make sure they're cared for while you're out of the house! Pets that are cared for in my home become part of our family and routine. Regular walks, mealtimes, play, and cuddles are all on the agenda.

About: What sets me apart is my patient, gentle, and detail oriented approach. I treat every pet like my own and take the time to understand their routine, personality, and comfort level. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and slower-paced poopets, and I’m confident managing different temperaments and needs. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my priority. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home. I’m around throughout the day for walks, bathroom breaks, feeding times, and play sessions, so your pet gets plenty of attention and never feels alone. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, calm space where they can relax and feel at home. I provide a cozy resting area, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and walks throughout the day since I work from home. I maintain your pet’s feeding and care routines and make sure they get plenty of attention. I also monitor behavior closely and communicate updates regularly.

About: My dog is a rescue. He suffers from pretty bad separation anxiety, so keeping him comfortable when he’s alone is quite tricky. Over the last 4 years with him, I’ve been managing this and have finally found some and routines and tricks that keep him calm and comfortable in our home while I’m away. I have had a dog my whole life. I understand the basics of care, and will go above and beyond to make sure your dog is well taken care of, comfortable, and safe while you are away. I currently work from home 2 days out of the week and will be available to play with your pup through out the day - whether you bring them to me for a day of day care, or you need someone to go check on your dog at yours for a walk or a pee break! Additionally, I am available evenings and weekends for dog walking or babysitting. I live in a townhouse with my senior dog. He loves company. Once the excitement of “hello” passes he is very calm, and will love playing with a friend! I don’t have a backyard, so I will take the pups on frequent walks. If you need someone to drop by your place to walk or give pee breaks to your pet, I am more than willing to stay and play and follow any care instructions you provide.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for over ten years now, whether they were my own or caring for others. I have experience with breeds and ages of all kinds as I have been a foster for two rescue groups for the last five years as well. I have fostered well over 20 dogs, which includes providing love and training to ensure they’re ready for their forever family when adoption time comes. Welcome all pups! I work full time from home so I am around most of the time. My dog loves spending her days in my backyard and as soon as I’m done work we head out for a walk or to the park to burn some energy. Pending the weather we typically head out for a lunch hour walk as well (not if it’s above 20 Celsius or raining). My dog is truly part of my family and snuggles in bed or on the couch with me. I have a large fenced in yard where she spends most of her days and would love a buddy to play with! I’m available to let the dogs inside and outside as needed and provide a full day of care.

About: *Calendar shows general availability but I must meet you and your pet prior to booking! No bookings are guaranteed until we have had a meet and greet. Rates are high to reflect the app's fees and are only for the first walk.* I have been a professional self-employed dog walker for over 15 years. I am currently seeking new pups for group walks, private walks, puppy visits and boarding in my home on a select basis this winter. Also available and experienced in drop in care for cats and other small pets. Check me out on Instagram cheesedogs.po :) I am a full time dog walker and pet sitter through the winter. I currently have space in my afternoon group walk for the right dog(s), and I have a lot of availability in mornings, midday, and late afternoons for private walks, puppy visits, and cat care. My dog walks are exclusively on leash. The afternoon pack plays off-leash in a secure, fenced in yard and then we have a leashed walk together. I train dogs to walk loose leash. For boarding, dogs must be small dog friendly and have zero prey drive. They must sleep in a crate but are free to roam my apartment when I am home to supervise. We always use leashes for pee breaks and walks from my home.

She offered to meet prior to Dex’s stay to get to him and interact. Major bonus. This was my first time using Rover service. My experience with Eilis will have me coming back again and 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 grew up training horses (show jumpers) and my love for animals big and small started early. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have rescued three of them, including my first rescue while volunteering at an animal shelter in Grande Prairie, Alberta. My dogs are my children, and I understand firsthand how much stress comes with finding someone you trust to care for your pups and love them the way you do. I’ve raised puppies, welcomed middle-aged rescues into my life, and supported senior dogs through their final chapter. My goal is simple: to care for your dogs as if they were my own and give you the same peace of mind I have knowing my kids are safe, happy, loved, and in good hands while I’m away. I work in emergency services on a rotating 24-hour shift calendar, with a total of seven shifts a month. I have several consecutive days off in-between those shifts, allowing me to cover a fairly expansive block of time throughout the week. Fortunately, I am provided with my work schedule well in advance. Which allows me to coordinate and confirm bookings around the needs of your pets. I’m an early riser to my home fitness routine, and take my kids on multiple walks a day. Having the opportunity to “work from home” and visit with other pets/families in the area would be a welcome addition to my routine! I provide a safe, loving environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and comfort level. If your pup requires a more dynamic environment or has specific care instructions, I’m happy to review everything with you in person before accepting the responsibility. This helps ensure I fully understand your pet’s needs and can provide the care, consistency, and attention they deserve

“Nicole is amazing, I’m so glad we found Nicole and her husband to care for our hound Mabel while we were traveling!! Mabel stayed with Nicole for over a week, and she was so relaxed and happy! 🐕 Nicole is very thoughtful, making sure she continued our routines and activities while Mabel was with her, and even remembering Mabel’s favourite sweet potatoes treat which she had ready and waiting upon arrival! Nicole has incredible communication, providing daily updates with fun pictures and stories of their daily adventures with Mabel. Nicole went above and beyond to make sure Mabel was well cared for and comfortable. Two big examples of this was that Nicole drove out to our house before the stay to meet Mabel, get a sense of her routines at home, ask questions, etc. It made us feel so prepared and ready to leave Mabel with Nicole. Then - when our flights got cancelled with the Air Canada strike - Nicole packed up all of Mabel’s stuff, and drove her to our house to drop her off with my family. Truly an added level of time and effort, which was so much appreciated!! We’ve certainly found Mabel’s home-away-from-home! Huge thanks to Nicole and Trevor for taking such amazing and thoughtful care of Mabel while we were away!!”

About: I have enjoyed taking care of dogs and other pets from a young age. I like getting to know the unique qualities of each animal and enjoy providing an enriching environment full of activities for the active dog, or a quiet, calm space for the pets who take more time to settle in. Caring for, and socializing, puppies over a summer was one of the most memorable pet care times, as a family member was preparing to find homes for a litter. I'm currently off work for the summer and have lots of flexibility to care for your pets for overnight stays, walks, or drop in visits to your home. I have a fenced backyard and a park across the road with lots of walking trails around to accomodate all the needs or your furry friend. We do also have 1 friendly cat in the home.

We just cannot thank Elizabeth (Jayne) enough for all the love and attention she gave our old boy, Jack while we were away on vacation. Jayne was happy to be in touch with us and regularly sent pics and videos. Jack doesn’t always do well without us, but he settled in quickly and absolutely loved all the walks, love and attention he got at Jayne’s house! Jack is diabetic so it was such a relief knowing that Jayne had lots of experience giving insulin too. We will most definitely be calling Jayne again! Thank you, Jayne!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Port Hope

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Port Hope is $52 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $64 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 Port Hope have an average of 16 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.

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.

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
