“It was truly a pleasure having my pup Dallas stay with Iman! This was my first time having someone outside of family care for him and Iman put me at ease. The communication, pictures sent, comfort and compassion demonstrated was truly impeccable! I can't wait to blow and frame the photos you took of him, so professional; Im still trying to understand how you got him to pose, lol!! Thanks Again and see you soon!”
“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“Mercedes and her family were the best caregivers I could have asked for! I had to leave my 9 week old puppy for 6 days and I felt so comfortable with the level of care she was provided. I got multiple daily updates and photos of my little Luna playing with Mercedes, her cute pup, and her children. They had all the toys, bedding, and comforts my puppy needed. I loved it and it made me feel very confident with my decision in booking, I was worried she would want to stay there forever. :-) Mercedes and her family were very kind, sweet, genuine people and I’m so grateful for them! I will 100% be booking with Mercedes again. Thank you!”

We highly recommend Stephanie and thanks so much for providing a second beautiful home to our dog everytime we’re out of the city!!🙏🙏🙏”
“Ana and Byron were wonderful. They help me put my worries to rest. Zoey loved being with them. They sent daily pictures of Zoey. I knew Zoey would be ok with them when she fell asleep on their sofa during our meet and greet. I will definitely use them again.”
“Great relief, knowing my dog Barbie was in great hands for two weeks. Latasha would also send updates and pictures which really was really comforting to know Barbie was being well took care of. Would highly recommend Latasha to family and friends.”

“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”
“I’ve never left Truffle with anyone but family members. She and I have been inseparable since her original pet mommy (my mother) passed. Needless to say she is extremely spoiled and I was very apprehensive about leaving her with anyone!! But from the first initial meeting with Jenni and her son that doubt started to melt away. And by the second day into my weekend getaway I was totally comfortable with Truffle being in Jenni and her little assistants care. After I shared the many adorable photos, My family members teased that Truffle was enjoying her vacation just as much or more. And my grandchildren were jealous that Truffle had a new found little friend🤣”
“Amia,Joshua and family have been nothing but great to my baby Barry. He loves spending time over there, I definitely recommend them. They are the best fit for your fur baby 🙂”

WILL DEFINITELY BE GIVING HIS INFO TO ANYONE IN NEED OF A SITTER, BOARDER. HE SENT VIDEOS AND STILL PHOTOS AND REGULAR UPDATES TO US. F A B U L O U S!!!!!!!!”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you Candace & Steve. They are the best dog sitters! As soon as we dropped off Rocco, he couldn't stop wagging his tail. The day after we picked him up, he looks a little sad... like his missing Pumpkin. Beside missing Rocco in our travels, we are never worried about the care Candace & Steve provide. We so appreciate the pictures and the daily update on how Rocco is doing. If you are looking for a great dog sitter, look no further. Thanks Candace & Steve!”
“Kendra took really good care of both of our pets while we were exploring the city. She was very communicative and sent pictures so we felt very safe leaving our pets with her. We’d definitely work with her again next time we find ourselves in Chicago.”
“My dog Buddy had the best of time with Janet. I would highly recommend Janet. Buddy was almost sad returning home. I received pictures during the stay which I really loved. Thank you Janet for making my dog feel at home and loved!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ After Biggie's last terrible experience at a boarding service, Mariah is here for the win! From the moment we arrived, Mariah was warm, gentle and welcoming. Of course she sent regular updates with photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. My dog came home happy, exhausted from all the attention she received and clearly loved. You can tell Mariah truly loves animals, treats them like family and went the extra mile to make sure my pup felt right at home. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Our pup was so well-loved by Patricia and her family. From the second she met our dog I knew she was in good hands and the regular updates and pictures she sent reassured us of that. Could not recommend her services more highly!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Markham
Iman is absolutely the best choice! This was my very first time boarding my babies on an extended vacation. I usually have someone come to my house and care for my babies. This time I chose to board them. So, my fur babies and I experienced this together! One of my babies I wasn’t concerned about at all. He loves everyone. However, I had a fresh puppy and my girl baby is not inviting to others. She was a rescue and is very timid around others. Iman was amazing in providing support to cater to each of my babies according to their personality. She provided communication throughout my vacation, and that is what helped me to be a lot more relaxed with my time away. Iman cared for them like they were her own and even sent them home with treats! I hope she knows we will be calling again! Thank you Iman for caring for my babies 🥰🥰
Jennifer and her family make us very comfortable in leaving our leo with them. I love the way her children love on him. I have no worries when we are out of town. It feels as if I left him with a family member. Also she sends us several daily updates. Grateful we found her.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Markham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Markham on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,834 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Markham. 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.
94% of Markham 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 Markham 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 Markham 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 Markham.
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 Markham 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 IL 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.
