Bandit has such a great time with Michael! I cannot say enough good things, and we've already booked more visits. Michael is truly a dog person, great with senior doggos and very kind and communicative.

Thank you Angela! She took wonderful care of our dog, Budd. Helped manage his anxiety during thunderstorms, kept us up to date on how he was adjusting, and send sweet photos!

Sydney made our first vacation without our fur child a breeze! We felt completely relaxed and worry-free leaving our pup with her. She provided consistent text and photo updates and was very proactive with her care. Our pup absolutely loved her and was clearly very comfortable around her. We look forward to booking Sydney again!

Mary & her husband were fantastic! I could tell that Missy would be well cared for and would enjoy her stay. Mary sent me pictures of their activities throughout the day. I felt very comfortable and at ease, knowing that my little girl was safe and in good hands. I definitely will pick Mary again!

This was my first time using Rover for my pet Shelby. I was pretty lucky to find a great pet sitter, Jenna was fantastic. She has a wonderful puppy friendly home and is very knowledgeable and loving with animals. I'm grateful my puppy was in good hands.

Britnie was amazing with our dog Goober & he loved his time at her house. She sent us frequent updates & was very flexible when a situation with our daughter changed our pickup time. We highly recommend letting her care for your pups. Goober can’t wait to go back on our next vacation!

Best experienced ever. Nia was great. So was Phillip. Great folks. They took good care of Lilly. They were very engaged and sent us pics as well as video. There was plenty of room in the yard for our dog to play. I highly recommend them. We will call on them again soon.

I highly recommend Amanda for anyone looking for a pet sitter! She was very responsive and gave us regular updates. This was our first time boarding our dog and she was very anxious. Amanda went above and beyond to take care of our dog.

Craig spoiled Gus with swim time, belly rubs, and plenty of friends during his 11-day stay. He also kept me updated with photos every morning. It helped put my mind at ease for leaving my pup that long. In the end it just felt like my dog was at summer camp!

Great communication and eased my nerves with how they were doing! Felt very comfortable with her taking care of my two big fur babies. Loved that she had lots of property that’s fenced in for them to run and her own dogs for them to play with!! They slept the whole day after they got home!!! Definitely will rebook soon!

Boomer had such a great time with Katie! He had fun playing with the other dogs she was boarding and Katie was very responsive and sent multiple daily updates, which I appreciated. I also contacted Katie at the last minute when another sitter canceled and she was very accommodating and was able to help us out so we could still take a vacation! Thanks so much!

Sheri was fantastic! Lucy was treated like her own dog. She was spoiled and loved and Lucy got along really well with Sheri's dog. I know Lucy is going to miss being at Sheri's house. I'll definitely use her again would highly recommend her to anyone needing excellent care for your dog.

Dawn and Eric were great. I appreciate that they were flexible for drop off and pick up times, and were understanding when we encountered icy road conditions on the way home and needed to pick up later than planned.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 42 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Walpole Island. 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 Walpole Island 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 Walpole Island

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.
