“Kimberly, thank you so much to you and your family for taking such excellent care of Hunter this past weekend while we were away in Edmonton. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We were so glad to hear how well Hunter got along with Murphy and that he had a buddy to hang out with. We especially appreciated the daily updates and photos — they meant a lot and reassured us he was happy and well cared for. Thank you again for your kindness and care. Until next time!”
“Cindy and her family took excellent care of our dog for an overnight stay. Cindy is very responsive and reliable and we felt very comfortable through the whole process even as first-time Rover users. We will happily seek out Cindy’s services again.”
“Dawn was a lifesaver! Our original sitter canceled last minute, and Dawn accepted our booking the same day. We were so grateful she could take Choki in on such short notice. She kept us updated with photos and took amazing care of him. When I picked him up, he was calm, happy, and even freshly washed and groomed—he looked better than when we dropped him off! I couldn’t recommend Dawn more. She’s caring, professional, and truly goes above and beyond. Thank you, Dawn!”
“Eva did a great job with our dog Ela! Ela is an incredibly anxious and scared dog and it takes her a while to warm up to people. We had to leave Ela with Eva for about a week and Eva was spectacular with providing updates around how Ela's doing, how she's getting along with the other dogs at her place, as well as general observations around Ela's behaviour. By the end of the stay, Ela found herself to be more comfortable with Eva and her family and even managed to make a friend with another dog at Eva's place! Thank you so much, Eva! 🙏”
“This past weekend our family used Rover for the first time and Adam kindly and quickly responded to my booking request as well as any questions I had. He kept contact throughout Nova's stay and sent us pictures along the way. It was FANTASTIC to be able to go away and have her stay in a safe, warm and caring environment. We would highly recommend and hope to book with Adam again in the future.”
“Edward and his family are awesome. They took really good care of Tako while we had to be away and Tako loves them. Couldn't be more happy to have found a 2nd home and family that Tako (and us) love!”
“Carey was amazing with my dog Blue. I highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. She provided me with photo updates of my dog throughout his stay and he looked happy as ever. 5 stars!”
“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.”

“Claudia took really good care of Theo!! It looked like he was having a great time and received a lot of attention and love. Thanks again Claudia, will be bringing him back in the future!”
“Hi, Judy was great. Our dog Maddie is 14 years old and did struggle with anxiety separation when first left with Judy. This made Maddie physically sick but Judy persevered instead of asking us to return and pick-up Maddie. Since the reason Judy was looking after Maddie was so we could be at our daughters wedding it was crucial that we felt Maddie was being cared for properly. Judy went above and beyond provided updates and pictures so that we could enjoy this incredibly special day. The wedding was absolutely perfect and Judy played a very important role in making it so. Thanks so much, Luc”
“Cindy & Marc are great hosts. We had a change of plan at the last minute and they were very accomodative. Oreo really enjoyed their company. We would definitely take their services in the future too.”
“Emma and Victoria were great! They helped watch our senior dog with some mobility issues due to arthritis with such great care. They were able to give him his medications as needed and provided daily updates and photos to set our mind at ease. It was Django's first time with them and he loved it! Would definitely recommend! Thanks again”
“I highly recommend Saksham for your pet sitting needs. Our dog stayed at his home for two days and I know she was well taken care of by Saksham and his wife. We received photos and videos from Saksham and he was highly professional and responsive. I totally trust Saksham and his wife and will call on them again for taking care of our dog. I know our dog will be happy to see them again!”
“Charlie had his first stay with Donna last weekend. He had a fantastic time playing with Lucy, Donna’s dog. I got updates on how he’s doing as I asked for them and I could tell that Donna sincerely cared about him and wanted him to feel at home. He adored her daughter too and was her constant companion. Charlie will definitely be back!”
“This was my first experience leaving the most important member of our family. I want to extend my gratitude to Jayson. He has been a very kind person with my dog, sending pictures, schedules, and updates on how my dog was doing. He took care of my dog, and I feel that he did it just like I would have. Jayson is a gentle person with dogs; he connects very well with them, and you can sense that you can trust him. Thank you, Jayson, for taking care of Alma.”
“Gail was awesome, taking care of our dog Wally in her home for 5 days and nights in March 2026. Wally was walked 3x per day, and we felt totally comfortable after an initial meet and greet that Wally would be in good hands while we went on vacation. Gail accommodated an early morning drop off so we could catch our flights. And we got lots of pictures while away which we loved. If you need someone to take care of your dog, and love them like you do, don’t hesitate to contact Gail !”
“Experienced care-giver with caring family and fenced in back yard. Our mini-poodle’s first night away from home and Karen made it a positive, happy experience for her. We will definitely be hiring her again :)”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jasmeet. Both she and her husband cared for our senior dog with kindness and patience. It gave us peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear he was treated with lots of love. We would not hesitate to book again and recommend this sitter.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Stratford is $50

Teija cared for Teddy, our 3-yr old small spaniel, for two days while we saw a couple of plays at the Stratford Festival. I always feel some anxiety when we drop our pet off with a stranger, but Teija made me immediately feel comfortable and confident we had made the right choice. We appreciated the photos and notes she forwarded to us. We could see that Teddy was looking happy and relaxed. I feel fortunate to have found her. I hope Teija is available the next time we visit the festival.
It was our first time leaving Bella with a boarding service and we are very happy with the results. Dallas was great with Bella. They got along fantastic. We could could tell as Bella was excited and happy to start her time with Dallas after her first visit. We had a great trip knowing that Bella was secure with Dallas. Thank you
5 stars isn't enough for Maria. What was suppose to be a simple few days while we went on vacation quickly turned out to be anything but. right before we were to leave we discovered Ellie had a brain Tumor and needed alot of extra care.. We gave Maria the chance to back out as that's not what was originally discussed.. and she didn't.. she was up for the challenge. Simply Amazing.. thank you so much for taking care of our girl for us.

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 .

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Stratford 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 Stratford
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:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
