Our dog had a such a great time staying overnight with Jamie, she didn't want to leave! Jamie is very professional, responsible, and experienced. She sent us photos and videos of our pup playing and enjoying walks. I highly recommend her.

My Millie dog had a great stay with Rachel. Rachel provided a safe, clean, and caring environment, and kept us updated with photos, videos, and messages. Millie looked relaxed and seemed comfortable in her home. It was so nice to see that. We appreciated the updates, and it was nice knowing our dog was well cared for while we were away. Will definitely book with Rachel again.

Cassandra took great care of my dog. She kept me informed throughout my dog’s stay. She also sent lots of pictures which was nice and comforting. I even picked up a few pointers from her considering I am a new dog owner. Nice job!

Jennifer and Mark were outstanding on every level. Upon meeting them, I sensed their genuine commitment to ensuring Roo would be left in good hands. With two dogs of their own it was very apparent that they are both dog lovers through and through. Roo was very well cared for and I received many pics of Roo enjoying her stay with her two new pals. I highly recommend Jennifer and Mark.

We were very happy leaving Tango with Frances. We knew she would be treated like one of the family, and from the photos we received throughout her stay, it was very obvious she was in great hands. I would definitely ask Frances to care for Tango again - anytime we need a sitter. We loved the rural setting for her and felt that Tango enjoyed a bit of a holiday of her own, while we were away for a family gathering. Thank you, Frances!

Choosing Gloria was the best decision for my little dog's 7-day stay! The thought of being away from Zelda was very stressful, but meeting Gloria a few weeks before the stay made all the difference – I immediately felt much better. During Zelda's stay, Gloria was fantastic about sending quick, reassuring updates and pics whenever I needed them. When I picked Zelda up, she looked wonderfully cared for; she looked happy and even had her topknot perfectly brushed. I will be using Gloria's services again in the future and definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter.

Lesa took care of our dog Coco for one night as a trial run. Our dog has never been looked after by anyone other than us or family members and we were quite anxious about leaving him with just anyone. Our dog is a bit temperamental when it comes to routine and especially other dogs. Lesa met with us prior to Coco’s stay to allow us to meet with her and her daughter and see where he would be staying. Lesa was very welcoming of coco into her home and was very easy going and you could tell she was passionate about animals. Lesa made our first interaction with her great and made it much easier for us to decide on leaving coco with her for a night. We dropped off Coco in the afternoon for his first night away from home. Lesa sent us an update within the first hour letting us know how he was and that everything was well! Lesa sent us countless updates throughout the day and evening letting us know how he was doing and sent lots of pictures. This really made us feel like he was getting the attention and care we thought he needed. We picked Coco up just over 24hrs later and he was as happy as could be and we could tell he had a great stay! Lesa was an amazing sitter for our dog Coco and we have 100% trust in her with sitting our dog! We met with many different dog sitters before finding Lesa and we are so so happy we didn’t settle on just anybody! Lesa will continue to have our business with watching our dog Coco, and we have already made plans to leave Coco in her hands while we go for our next vacation! Thank you to Lesa, her young daughter and 2 cats for letting us feel at ease while Coco is away from us!

About: I’ve taken care of big dogs and little dogs for friends and family for many years. I have made sure their pets are walked, fed, bathed and have had tons of love while in my care. I work from home so am able to make sure the dogs in my care get lots of attention through the day and are walked daily as well We have a large unfenced yard perfect for play and also go on long walks daily. My dogs are crated at night so would prefer dogs who are crate trained. We have a loving home with lots of attention and play

I greatly appreciated Helena’s fast response to my last minute request for pet sitting. Her house is well set up for dog boarding and my dog was immediately at ease. Her dog Max was friendly to our dog and I could see they were going to have a fun visit together. Heena made sure to get the details about our dog’s habits and our wishes. There was a long lead and clothesline to allow the dogs to explore and play outside. It will be a great off lease area once the final piece of fence is installed. Heena was a pleasant host with whom I felt confident leaving our 2 yr old dog.

I am super happy with Kristina’s service! I truly recommend her! I had a last minute trip and needed someone to take care of Sully, Kristina was very responsive and she was able to meet our needs. Sully had a great time at her place and she and her family took great care of him! Thank you very much!

Natalie and her lovely dogs Beau and Belle were very welcoming to Goose who stayed with them for 3 days. He had a lot of fun and the great big backyard was a bonus for our active boy. Natalie kept us posted on his progress along with sending photos and videos. We really appreciated her kind nature and how she helped Goose feel right at home.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Rayside-Balfour

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rayside-Balfour on Rover is $44.4 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 38 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rayside-Balfour. 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 Rayside-Balfour 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 Rayside-Balfour

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.
