What a wonderful experience. The house is made for dogs. Courtney and Ryan are wonderful pet owners themselves. Their dogs are laid back and got along beautifully with our dogs. The back yard has ramps for the dogs to run and play and lots of toys to enjoy. Can't stress enough how great this experience was.

About: I am a huge animal lover who’s been fostering dogs since 2019, and cats longer than that. My home is set up perfectly for temporary care, both short and long term, with crates and various sizes and leashes of different lengths all tucked away for when they’re needed. I’ve fostered dogs of all sizes, puppies as young as 2 weeks that were bottle fed around the clock, plenty of young puppies that I house trained, and seniors that required daily medication administered and even wound care. Despite often being surrounded by dogs, I’m still the type of person to point out dogs and call out “puppy!” when I drive by one. I can’t wait to welcome your furry friend to my home! I work 100% from home, so I’m basically always home during the week. Any weekend plans of mine tend to be made in advance, and are often made with other pet friendly people! I have a fully fenced yard and my own senior dog to keep yours company! I have crates and beds of various sizes if your dog is crate trained, and also don’t mind having an extra dog to snuggle with overnight if not. My house is fully puppy-proof, with gates separating most rooms and all cords either hidden or monitored. For cats who may not be comfortable with other animals or just needs their own space, I have a spare room that I often used for foster cats- this room has cat trees, beds, litter boxes and more to keep your kitty entertained.

About: I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality. I follow instructions carefully, keep owners updated, and make sure pets stay comfortable in their environment. I have experience with feeding schedules, walks, and keeping pets calm and happy while their owners are away. I’m home and available most days, so your pet will never feel alone—plenty of time for walks, play, and cuddles! Open to discussing weekend availability. I have a large fenced in area where our dog loves to run and play. I enjoy walks and lots of time outdoors. Also enjoy playtime and snuggles.

Smitha was very responsive. However, we were not told that they look after other dogs as well as it was not on their profile at the time and at the meet and greet there was a puppy there which was very cute but too much for Riley as he is 15. However since at that time we did not have too many choices we went with her. She did look after Riley and accommodate us as we ran into traffic and got a bit late.

About: I offer safe, loving in-home boarding in a calm environment with a secure backyard for supervised play. I have two friendly dogs, a mini poodle and a bichon, who are well socialized and gentle with other dogs. I keep routines consistent with regular walks, feeding schedules, and lots of attention so your dog feels comfortable and cared for. My home is clean, structured, and designed to be a relaxed home away from home. If you’d like it a little more playful or a little more premium, I can adjust the tone for you 😊 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own two dogs. I plan my mornings and evenings around walks, feeding times, and play sessions, and I’m used to maintaining consistent schedules. I work in a structured way, so I can easily incorporate drop-ins, walks, or overnight care while ensuring each dog receives focused attention and companionship. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and secure environment where pets are supervised and never left in unsafe situations. I follow each pet’s feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain clear communication, and provide updates for peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care.

Maggie's second stay with Joyce was wonderful. Joyce is a very caring and considerate pet sitter and it's obvious Maggie is very comfortable with her, which isn't always easy for an anxious dog. I got regular updates from Joyce, including pictures and video, and I was very happy to see Maggie was having a great time. I think she would have been happy to stay with Joyce even longer!

Diane was beyond amazing with Marty! I have never had someone take such good care of my dog. She went above and beyond my expectations and I cannot recommend her enough. She is so kind, communicates well and sends photo updates, and is so good with dogs. We will definitely be sending our pup back to her as I don’t think there is a better dog sitter out there than her. Thank you Diane for being so amazing to us and our dog :)

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 June 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 June 2026, there are 264 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:

  • 100% 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.
