Our family was scheduled for an overnight at Western when we reached out to Sayali and from the very start she was very professional. Reaching her house, her husband guided Lola to the backyard where they had other lovely dogs . Lola got introduced to the dogs and was excited… I felt She will have a great time with her new friends . Sayali shared Lola’s videos … and took good care of her . I recommend Sayali for all your doggy day care and boarding needs 🐾🐾🐶

Carol and family was a second home to Bauer! They took great care and we knew he was well looked after all weekend. We will definitely have Carol look after Bauer in the future without hesitation. Thank you so much!

Loved the experience with Jennifer from start to finish. Love the fact that she only takes on two dogs at once aside from her own and gave me daily updates. My dog was much more relaxed and not stressed like when I used to pick him up at the kennel.

We are so grateful to have found Rita M. to look after our nine-year-old Sheltie, Ella, while away on a recent two-week trip overseas. Rita is a warm, caring, and conscientious person who went above and beyond to assure us that Ella was in good hands. As Ella is not used to being left alone or away from her pet parents for long periods, we were so glad for Rita's calm and "chill" personality and Ella seemed right at home with her very quickly. We loved getting the daily updates and photos of Ella's stay with her temporary pet mom. All of Ella's daily diet and medicine requirements were duly fulfilled and she was very happy and healthy upon our return home. We would highly recommend choosing Rita as your Rover pet sitter and Ella looks forward to many future visits with her. Thanks again to Rita and Rover!

Elizabeth and Gary care for our dog like they do their own and it is such a relief knowing that our fur baby is so well cared for while we are away. The daily pictures and updates are fantastic and we love seeing what our dog is up to. Our dog becomes part of Elizabeth and Gary's family (along with their dogs) and we can see how comfortable our dog is with them both feeling right at home. Having our dog cared for in a home setting is important to us so that our dog receives the attention and care she is used to (being a higher anxiety dog). Highly recommend Elizabeth and Gary to anyone who wants their dogs treated as if they were their own while you are away.

Lynn and her husband took wonderful care of our sweet dog while we were away on a family vacation. They treated her like one of their own, and it was clear she was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We especially appreciated the daily photos and updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and trustworthy dog sitters, and we will definitely be leaving our dog with them again in the future!

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for over 25 years and understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m an empty nester and home throughout the day, so your dog will receive plenty of individual attention, companionship, outdoor time and affection. My home in Port Stanley is quiet and pet-free, with a large fully fenced yard where your dog can safely enjoy plenty of fresh air and playtime. I only host dogs from one family at a time, making my home especially comfortable for dogs who may not enjoy a busy kennel or being around unfamiliar pets. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking and sleeping routine and provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing they’re being well cared for. My goal is simple: I want your dog to feel like they’re staying with family. ❤️ I’m home throughout the day, so your dog will have plenty of companionship, attention and outdoor time. I’m available for both overnight boarding and doggy daycare throughout the week. With a large fenced yard, frequent potty breaks and playtime are easy to fit into our day. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking and sleeping routine so they feel comfortable and at home. I provide a quiet, comfortable, pet-free home with a large fully fenced yard where your dog can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I only host dogs from one family at a time, so your dog receives plenty of individual attention without being surrounded by unfamiliar pets. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, medications, walks and routines, and I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates throughout their stay.

About: Hello and welcome! I am genuinely excited to open my home to pet parents who need a safe, loving, and reliable spot for their furry family members. With a formal background in veterinary office administration and a lifelong love for animals, I bring both professional knowledge and a gentle, attentive touch to every pet in my care. Pet care is a flexible and rewarding focus for me. Because I manage my independent commitments right from home, your furry family members will enjoy consistent company, supervision, and plenty of personalized attention throughout the day. With structured daytime hours and a calm home routine, every guest seamlessly integrates into a cozy, low-stress environment. My home is a cozy, smoke-free, and pet-friendly environment designed to give your pet a true 'home away from home' experience. It features a fully fenced backyard (approx. 700 sq ft, 4 to 5 feet tall) that backs safely onto neighbouring yards, making it an ideal setup for secure outdoor playtime, fresh air, and supervised sniffing sessions. Because I keep my environment intimate and calm, I limit overnight boarding to 1 dog at a time, and daytime care to a maximum of 2 dogs (7:00 AM – 6:00 PM), ensuring every guest receives personalized attention. Cat drop-in visits are also available to keep local feline friends happy and cared for in their own space!

Takes good care of pet. However, it is good note that she seems to take care of other dogs at the same time as far as I could ascertain … also, she has a very friendly golden retriever, which is good. My main tip to her is that she should take more videos and photos throughout the day of the babysat dog and interactions with her other dogs. Regardless of all the points mentioned above, the service isgenerally high quality. We would book her again.

About: Grew up with and around dogs. My brother and his chocolate lab are moved out now. I would love to have a dog of my own one day. Hoping to fill the void until then by giving this a try. I currently work full time. I am available from 5pm onwards through out the week for walking. My home is available on weekends for sitting/overnight stays. I live in the country with a large yard and woods behind my house. Great for walks and playing. Dogs are welcome everywhere in house except bedrooms.

Adlynn and her family, two doggies and partner, did an outstanding job of caring for my dog. He was very nervous and not used to being away from me. Adlynn was able to gradually get him to feel safe and he really enjoyed the rest of the time there. I would highly recommend!

Amy took wonderful care of our dog Oreo while we were away. She kept us updated every day with messages and pictures, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Oreo was safe, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention and patience during his stay. Amy was very kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the whole booking. We truly appreciated all of her care and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you again, Amy!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - St. Thomas

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in St. Thomas on Rover is $33.3 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 240 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across St. Thomas. 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 St. Thomas 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 St. Thomas

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. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

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.
