I loved that Chloe gave daily updates with photos. When we went to pick up our dog, he literally ran back into her house, presumably for more play time! Would highly recommended Chloe to give you peace of mind that your dog is in very good hands!

Amber is Fantastic! She provides a warm and inviting space for my dog. Copper is a joy to be around. Amber is great at providing updates, taking the dogs on adventure and spending quality time. Zero stress leaving my fluff with her.

We left our 4 month old puppy with Andrew and Diana overnight. He came back tired, happy, and a little bit more well behaved around other dogs. Thanks for taking such good care of him!

Jude is not a cat who is used to leaving home. Susan was the best person for him. It is obvious she loves cats and gives them the best care possible.

About: Had dogs all my life and trained and rehabilitated my 15 year old border collie. Recently said good bye to both family dogs. Experience with puppies, senior dogs, unique dog medical needs, and nervous dispositions. I work full time from home, can offer daily dog walks, very active family life on the weekend. Dogs can come along for any and all the adventures where appropriate. Biking, hiking, beach plays, trail runs. Back yard not fenced, very friendly German Shepard shares the yard. Steps away from the beach so many strolls for sniffs and pee breaks. One very excited toddler to pet and play. Has learned to be gentle with dogs.

They took our girl out on adventure played with her and the kids like to have sleep overs with her aswell as ava. Thank you so much Dominique and family you were all so great and we know Ava is well taking care of in your home and we look forward to her visiting again 😊

About: Hi! I’m a mom of three with a 8 year old pup and 2 year old cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pup is being well taken care of. I offer dog walking in your neighbourhood, drop in’s and dog boarding in my home. Dogs must be good with small children, dogs and cats if staying in my home. I’m currently working part-time. I can be very flexible with your schedule needs, I will have plenty of time to tend to your animals. Thank you! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I stick to your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get outdoor breaks (for dogs), and have clean litter boxes (for cats). I spend time with them so they feel comfortable and not just “checked on.” I’m respectful of your space, and I always make sure everything is secure and tidy when I leave.

About: We had to say goodbye to our sweet dog last fall and would welcome some occasional furry love in our home again! I understand what’s involved in taking care of a dog properly, all while giving them love and attention. I raised a vizsla dog from puppy through to senior and passing on. He had epilepsy which required daily medication his whole life, was a high energy alpha male, and had lots of minor medical issues. I also grew up with a collie-shepherd rescue when I was younger. During the summer months I don’t work, so looking to add a furry friend to our family while I’m home. I have kids, so while we may go out for occasional outings, if the dog isn’t joining us, the dog would only be home for a few hours. During the school year, I would only be gone weekdays for 4-6 hours. I have a fenced rural property (just under an acre) on the edge of Comox, with access to trails and beaches, galore! There is a mudroom inside our home that is a safe place to leave a dog, or a crate if they feel safe. My children understand how to approach and treat dogs carefully and respectfully (they are 7 and 10 years old). With some blankets on the couch, your dog is welcome up for some cuddles! The house is well setup for a dog, as our last one lived here too. There is always access to fresh water for your pup, we have a walk in shower with easy access from the door on tile, and our home is a comfortable temperature year round with a heat pump.

About: I'm comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, reinforcing routines and providing lots of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and energy level, so I tailor my care to their individual needs. I work from home Monday to Friday and my schedule is quite flexible on thursdays and Fridays. I can visit the animals in between work hours and am free evenings/weekends. I have a vehicle and driving to you is not a problem. I follow each pet's regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. I can keep owners updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away if they prefer. I treat every animal like they are my own.

Sean and his wife are wonderfully warm and welcoming. Our dog was comfortable right away in their home. Sean has previous experience with training and caring for his dogs. Our boy had just received surgery and Sean was respectful of his aftercare. I enjoyed the photos they would send me. When the time comes I would definately call them again!

About: Hi! My name is Oxana, and I would love to take care of your dog. I have been a dog owner for over 13 years and have plenty of experience caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I currently have a Husky mix, so I’m very comfortable with active, intelligent, and high-energy breeds. I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to be flexible with both days and hours. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, companionship, or loving care while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and specific needs. I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾 have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to be flexible with both days and hours. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, companionship, or loving care while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where your dog will feel at home. While your dog is staying with me, they’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, and care throughout the day. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs, whether it’s playing, relaxing together, or making sure they feel happy and secure. I also love taking dogs on walks and visiting local parks, where they can explore, get exercise, and enjoy the outdoors. I always adapt the activities to each dog’s age, personality, and energy level to ensure they have a fun and safe experience. My goal is to treat every dog like a member of my own family, giving them the love, patience, and care they deserve while you’re away.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Powell River

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Powell River on Rover is $26.75 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 58 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Powell River. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Powell River home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Powell River

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

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 dog, 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 .

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.

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.
