Lindsey was an excellent care giver to our two puppies overnight! I was feeling a bit nervous to leave them and she was very communicative and sent pictures throughout their stay which made the process a lot easier:) we already booked another sleepover!

Truffle had such a wonderful experience and was so well cared for! He came back in such a good mood and definitely picked up some wisdom from the two elderly doggos! Thank you Amy and Ellie! :)

Leaving Basil with Marcy was our first experience with Rover and it was excellent! Marcy was very accommodating of changes in our schedule and made sure that Basil had a great time during his stay. Videos and photos of his escapades were a bonus We will definitely be booking with Marcy again soon!

Maggie was with Terry for a week and I usually worry because she is anxious around new people and being left but what a time she had! She seemed like she didn’t want to come home when I went to pick her up. She had lots of walks and off leash park time and playing in the yard; lots of cuddle time it seems. She even took to Jim, Terry’s husband right away- not one bark. It was an awesome experience for both of us. Thank you Terry for taking such great care of our Maggie ❤️ we’ll be back soon!

My dog Odis was well taken care of. When we came back after 2 weeks he was very happy and healthy. He became part of their family and fit in very well. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him.

Sjako was great with Teddy. His place had lots of space for a dog to play freely. He was extremely responsive on the app and Teddy was a very happy boy when I picked him up.

Yuet continues to be amazing every time she sits for me. I think the highest praise I can provide is the fact that my dog Odin gets super excited when he realizes he is going to stay with Yuet.

About: I have had a dog or taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Family, neighbours and friends have all relied on me to help take care of their pets for many years. I am a huge animal lover and a health care worker and will always provide the best and safest care for your pup. Recently I have fostered some dogs through a local rescue and helped them find their new home. I have learned alot about behaviours and training with these pups. We love to play in the yard or go for walks, and have lots of snuggles on the couch :) I currently work part time so have lots of time available to spend with your dog! My flexible schedule allows me to board your pet overnight any day of the week, or drop in for visits/walks. I have a fenced back yard and two small dogs to keep your fur baby company! Your dog is welcome to treat our home as their own and I will give them lots of love and be devoted to their happiness and well being while you are away.

Danielle was a lifesaver taking in my newly adopted Nellie when family plans unexpectedly changed over the holidays. Although Nellie is nervous around most people at first, she warmed right up to Danielle and her pal Gibuu and settled in nicely for the few days we were gone. I appreciated Danielle’s experience and commitment to Nellie’s care and even sent me updates of their adventures! I would definitely recommend Danielle!

This was the first time I left my insecure little dog with a stranger. Her regular sitter was away so I entrusted her with Marcel and although I was apprehensive at first, I am so glad she got to experience a little “holiday” away from me. She played lots with their dog and went on daily walks (which I was also worried about because of her reactivity) but she apparently did well and is actually better now than she was before. I think it was a very positive experience for both me and my dog.

Tyler looked after Tori so well, and I am incredibly grateful! He was so kind throughout the whole time and gave Tori his full attention, which made me feel completely at ease. If I ever need a dog sitter again, I will absolutely choose Tyler without a doubt. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Tori!

My Coonhound, Clementine, had a wonderful time at Joanne’s! She made herself right at home and was treated like one of the family. She went on all sorts of off-leash adventures and was one tired, happy girl when I picked her up. Joanne is terrific - funny, easy-going, and she obviously loves animals. She kept in touch daily and sent lots of pics. (And her St. Bernard, Samson, is a great big sweetheart!)

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 112 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Youbou. 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 Youbou 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 Youbou

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.
