“Elizaveta provided our attention needing dog excellent care in her home over the week we had to travel. She included our dog in activities, provided many chances outside, and much love and snuggles. Our fur buddy came home looking great and we can tell she had a happy time. We will certainly look to rebook with Elizaveta again should the opportunity arise!”
“OMG! This lady is the absolute best person to leave your dog with! She is attentive to their every need and just loves them to the moon and back! House is so well suited to dogs and she makes everything dog friendly. My Bonnie was so well cared for during the 9 days we were away, I thought that Bonnie wouldn't want to come home! I would recommend this lady to everyone!”
“Teresa truly cared for my dog like one of her own! She updated me throughly with lots of pictures and made my dog feel so comfortable he was sad to leave her. She even sent treats home with him :) Highly recommend!!!”
“This was our first experience using rover and now that we've found her, we're not using anyone else, she is amazing and our little (figuratively speaking, realistically he's pretty large lol) puppy loved her!”
“Amanda was a fantastic care giver to my high energy beagle Chloe! I so appreciated her daily pics and updates on how Chloe was doing during her first stay away from home. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Chloe with her in the future. I highly recommend her as a trustworthy caregiver”
“Maera really enjoyed her stay with Jodi! Jodi provided us with regular communications and photos and we were so happy to see that Maera settled right in with Jodi's dog Jina and cat. We highly recommend Jodi to our friends with fur kids.”
“Anjali was awesome, made us feel super welcome and kept me updated hourly with photos and videos. Walked our pup and socialized her with her cat and other dogs on the walk. Our pup loves going to Anjali and gets very excited as we go towards their front door, I would definitely recommend Anjali!”
“Stephanie was absolutely incredible with my girl! I could not have asked for a better sitter. It was my first time using Rover and I was hesitant to leave my fur baby with someone I’d never met, however, Stephanie graciously offered her time to have two meet and greets with us. Maisie is very timid with new people at first and she was quick to get comfortable with Stephanie- her passion and dedication to providing the best care to pets is extremely evident. She truly takes each pet’s individual needs and characteristics into consideration. Maisie had an awesome weekend filled with exercise and love, and I had a great weekend away knowing she was left in the best hands possible! I also received plenty of videos/photos/updates which was very much appreciated! I will definitely be bringing my pup back to Stephanie again for any other boarding needs!”
About: Ive had all kinds of pets my entire life. I've been doing rover consistently for the past 2 years. I just moved back to Thunder Bay and would love to meet you and your pets! ☺️I can walk dogs on and off leash and can even teach them a trick or two. I have a house with a fenced yard. Please let me know if your dog is aggressive because I have a small cat and a springer. Don't hesitate to reach out with any requests! I work weekend nights and I'm free all day during the week. I require at least 1 day advance notice but will make exceptions if needed! I walk my own dog daily and take her out multiple times a day ( shes very well house trained and will let me know) I spend a lot of time taking care of our animals whether that's feeding them, training them or just hanging out with them.
“Yuleizi took excellent care of my little one! Animosh can sometimes struggle with change and new people but seemed absolutely comfortable with Yuleizi and her home. I had great communication and got many pictures of my kitty. I would absolutely ask Yuleizi to watch my Ani again!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Thunder Bay is $55

Amanda was amazing with our Sophie! Sophie tends to be nervous around new people but she warmed up to Amanda and her family so fast! We felt comfortable our entire vacation knowing our girl was being taken care of in the best way! Amanda sent photo updates and videos which were awesome. So happy we found a caring pet sitter for our dogs. ❤️
King absolutely loves his stays with Adrienne! He is always so sad to leave because they have such a good time together. Since Christmas is coming up, they played dress up with some Christmas wear and King would rather chew it then wear his Santa hat! It’s always an absolutely pleasure to have Adrienne watch my baby while I go away for work.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Thunder Bay 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 Thunder Bay
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.
