“Jaideep was amazing with my German shepherd, Moo! He sends multiple updates daily with pictures and it really put my mind at ease while I was away. He played with Moo in the backyard daily and ensured he was nice and tired when I picked him up :) I will definitely be reaching out to Jaideep for any future dog sitting needs.”
“Oleg was wonderful to work with. He was responsive and took our dogs last minute when we had to go out of town for a funeral. Our pups had so much fun with his family and his lab. They both came home exhausted from lots of play time! We will definitely use Oleg’s services again.”
“Marner had a great time playing and napping with his dog friend. He’s well taken care of and Sowmya sends us pictures each day. This is our 2nd time using Sowmya. Definitely recommend!”
“We haven't left our older rescue pup with anyone overnight before. Pepper was well cared for by Angel. She had walks and belly rubs and in general a peaceful stay while we had to be out of town for several days. Thanks so much, Angel, for taking such good care of our pup.”
“As always Miss Bobbi was wonderful with my Maggie. She sends pictures and videos, and I know Maggie is in good hands when she is with her and Nala. Miss Bobbi was helpful and understanding with Maggie needing medicine given to her twice a day.”
“We were a little nervous about leaving our puppy for the first time, but we knew after the meet and greet with De'Andra that she would be a good match for Lucy. We received daily updates while away which we appreciated. We felt confident she was safe, happy and being well cared for. We wouldn't hesitate to leave Lucy in their care in the future. Thank you both!”
“Kathy watched our dog for a week and Nova had a great time! Kathy pays attention to every detail and ensures our dog is comfortable and happy! This was our second booking with Kathy and we hope she is always available if we need her!!”
“Michelle is the best! She gave us daily progress reports and pictures. She took care of Papi like family. She even brushed his teeth. Papi is usually afraid of everything and everyone, but warmed up to Michelle and her dog, Emmy, quickly. She gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Teresa kept my Bella for 10 days while I was gone for my wedding and honeymoon. She kept me updated with pictures and videos while I was gone which was great! When I returned Bella was happy and calm! Anytime I board her a the vet she is a bit wound up and upset when I get back. This wasn’t the case after staying with Teresa! Thank you for taking care of Bella!”
“We couldn't be happier with Pam & Mike! Our Labrador, Gage, came home happy and exhausted after his week with them. I received regular photos and video updates from Pam while we were away, which was awesome! Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Josie and family were amazing! My dog had a great time, especially since he got to play with other dogs. I felt very comfortable with Josie and would definitely use her again!”
“Heather is such a wonderful dog sitter! My dogs run to her door in excitement. I love the pictures and videos she sends and know she always takes care of them like they were hers! ❤️”
“Heather was wonderful! Abbie was well-cared for and very much at home with Heather and her daughter. Lots of fresh air and space on the property, plus other animals for Abbie to see- chickens, ducks, and kittens—she loved it! Heather was very responsive to texts and sent pictures of Abbie’s activities over the course of the weekend. I look forward to using Heather again and highly recommend her.”
“Kerrie did a wonderful job watching our dog Willow. She took the booking last minute, gave us periodic updates, as well as pictures, and made us feel very informed and assured that Willow was being taken care of. Our dog came home happy and adjusted back right away! We would book Kerrie again without a doubt!”
“My pup had a very pleasant stay. Anton communicates promptly and seemed very knowledgible about petcare. My pup came home calm and content. Will surely use him again.”
“London had such an amazing time. This was my first time not being able to take her with me on a trip so I was a little nervous. Elizabeth sent pictures and updates and was very quick to respond. I would highly recommend Elizabeth and her family to care for your pets. In fact, when I go away in August, I will be contacting her again to reschedule another booking. Thank you again.”
“Hunter loves being with her and her family. He is treated very special like he part of their family. Would definitely recommend her. We will be definitely using her services again.”
“This was my first time leaving my 8yo pitbull lab mix Maui Wowie with a non-family member and it went off without a hitch! Sandra has a fantastic rural property that any dog will love. Maui LOVED hanging outside and the fun day-to-day activities Sandra and her family provided. Sandra treated my dog just like family.”
“Layla was well cared for and was very content during her stay with Letisia and the family. We enjoyed seeing the daily pics sent and were very pleased to see Layla relaxed and comfy.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Halifax on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of September 2026, there are 314 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Halifax. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Halifax sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Halifax landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Halifax 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 favorite hang-out spots in your Halifax.
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.
You and your Halifax 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.
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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
