“Kimberley was excellent. Our Lily has never been good with kennels, so our last option was to seek someone to look after her in their home. Kimberley was so patient and easy going. It takes Lily a bit to calm down when in new surroundings. Kimberley kept us up to date on how she was doing, which gave us peace of mind. We will definitely be looking to rebook with her! Highly recommend!”

“Shannon took great care of our dog. She kept us informed throughout the weekend and sent lots of great pictures. Riley came home happy and tired out. We would love to use Shannon's services again.”

“Mia made our family feel so comfortable when we left Eddy at her house. Her dog Bella is very sweet. We got lots of pictures of Eddy and Bella on their snowy walks side by side on the trails. Her kids were also excited to have an extra dog to love. Thank you Mia and family! We will use your service again!!”

About: Hi, I’m Jess! I’ve owned dogs all my life and am currently a dog owner and foster caregiver. I lead an active lifestyle and love getting outdoors—with a dog beside me! Caring for my own dogs and foster dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency and a familiar routine. I take time to understand your dog’s personality, comfort level and needs. I offer dog walking and drop-in care in your home, including feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys an energetic walk or a slower outing with plenty of sniffing, I’ll follow their pace and your instructions. You can expect photo updates and clear communication after each visit. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to get to know you and your dog. While I’m caring for my foster dog, I’m offering walks and care in your home rather than boarding or daycare in mine. If I’m not fostering, then my profile will reflect I am available to offer boarding in my home with my almost 2 year old dog and two children. I’ve owned dogs all my life, and daily walks and pet care are already part of my active lifestyle. I offer dog walking and visits in your home, with bookings arranged around my work and family commitments so I can give your pet dedicated time and attention. As a lifelong dog owner with fostering experience, I understand that every dog has different needs. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, routines and handling, keep your dog securely leashed on walks, and respect your home during visits. You can expect photo updates and clear communication so you know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve owned and cared for many different animals over the years. I am a dog trainer and used to do off-leash pack walks daily. As a teenager I volunteered at the OSPCA as a walker and have lots of experience with reactive dogs and cats. I reinforce positive behaviours you have already introduced and work on any training behaviours you are currently trying to impose. I look after dogs full time so I have lots of time to spend with your dog, walking them on my 5 acre private property, and cuddling them in my 2 storey home. If they get along with other dogs, there is lots of supervised social time I have a cat at home but he doesn’t like to interact with dogs so we keep him separated. I live in a two storey house with a large yard. I collect any mail or parcels outside your home and am always sure to lock up both dog and house unless instructed otherwise! I have lots of experience with reactive dogs and cats and am a dog trainer as well.

About: I’ve had tons of different animals growing up. Recently had to euthanize my 15 year old family boarder collie. Also an English bull dog who passed away at two due to breathing issues. I miss having a dog around, however am not ready to adopt my own just yet. Would love to have them over here and there. I Absolutely adore dogs! I currently work from home so I am always here to take care and love your animal! Will walk, feed, cuddle them and if permitted, take them where me and my family go, weather it’s a walk to the park or beach! We will love and care for your pet as our own. We have a backyard for them to pee/poo as well as a pool if they can swim. Will go on walks! I have two children who adore animals who are very gentle so we will all be spending lots of time together. Dog must be kid friendly though.

About: My name is Samantha and I've been a lifelong lover of all creatures great and small! I am currently a mom to a 8 year old miniature schnauzer, but I've had a kitty or dog companion by my side my entire life. I'm new to Mississippi Mills and I would love to meet your pet. Friends in Ottawa have relied on me to check in on their fur babies, take them for walks, feed them dinner, or simply spend time with them! I'm very reliable, I work from home 4 out of 5 week days, have a car, am flexible and adaptive. I work from home 4 out of 5 days of the week and am typically available on evenings and weekends. If your pup likes other pups I can have them join in on my routine walks with my little schnauzer. If not, that's cool too! I'm always down for a solo walk. I will do whatever it takes to make sure your furry baby will be well taken care of! I can be trusted to do drop in visits, spend time petting, playing with, feeding or walking your baby.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Tay Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Tay Valley is $70 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $106 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

sitters in Tay Valley have an average of 18 years of experience. Each sitter has their own unique experience and skill sets for different types of pets. You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile. Look at other pet parent reviews and repeat pet parent booking rates for an idea of their pet care exp erience.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

You and your Tay Valley sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
