“Shirley made sure both of my dogs had a great time while in her care. She also is very knowledgeable about dogs and behavior. I received frequent updates and pictures/videos which ensured me that they were doing well. We appreciate all that she has done for us and the pups!”
About: Hi! My name is Karen and I’ve had a lifelong love for animals. I grew up with pets my whole life. I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also have experience working in animal shelters, where I worked with a variety of pets and learned how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to each animal’s behavior. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, or just some extra care and attention, I will treat them like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be available throughout the day. I prioritize feeding times, playtime, and check ins, and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency. I provide a safe, calm, and cozy environment where pets can feel right at home. My home has large, secure spaces with a fully fenced backyard and front yard for safe play. I also have cat trees, cat toys, dog toys, and a dog friendly pool to keep pets happy and entertained. For comfort and safety, I have a crate available if needed and a separate studio space for my own pets when boarding, creating a relaxed environment for everyone. I’m also live near a park and can take pets on walks for fresh air and exercise. I always follow each pet’s routine and give them plenty of love, attention, and care, with regular updates for peace of mind.
“Milo was so happy with his stay with Leng, Laly, and their family. Leng was great with updates and sent many pictures of Milo throughout his stay. We are really happy with Leng and Milo will definitely be a returning customer?”
“I am so grateful to Xutao and his family for their help and love for my baby girl and for keeping me updated with her while she was with them, for me to have a great family it means a lot, because when I left her I knew she was in the best care. Thank you Xutao”
“Marisol and her daughter cared for my baby with all their heart, as if she were their own. Thanks to them, my family and I were able to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind. They not only took my dog for walks twice a day, but also sent me photos twice a day to update me on how he was doing. I will definitely entrust my baby to their family again. Thank you so much for your sweet care! :)”
“Our girls loved their time with Huina and we loved all the updates. They were there for only the day, but we still got 3 updates including small videos of them playing, eating and exploring and photos of them comfy on the couch. This was our first rover experience where we were met outside by our car for drop off/pick up. Usually, we at least drop them at the door, but all the updates of them put our anxieties at ease.”
“We had an organized and overall awesome experience with Emily! She kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Emily went above and beyond to ensure our dog was well exercised and mentally stimulated. Her backyard is spacious and perfect for playtime, it’s clear she’s created an environment where dogs can thrive. Our pup tends to be a bit skittish and anxious in new settings, but Emily handled him with such calm and care. We’re so grateful to have found her and have already booked his next boarding stay!”
“Ana and her family was great! Very kind, responsive and good to our dogs. I had no worries with them being there. She updated with photos and her backyard is AMAZING! Your dog will have so much fun sniffing around back there!”
“Gabriela was amazing! My dog Archie fell in love with her, her family and her home. She made sure to care for him and send daily updates about him while I was gone. This was my first time using Rover and will definitely be booking Gabriela again.”
“Estella is really sweet and communicative! She was updating me and sending me pictures of my dog all the time and it was clear my dog loved her and was happy with her! Definitely recommend and will be having my dog with her again!”
“First time booking with Florie and Philip and they were amazing! Florie pays attention to the detailed information I provided to take care of my dog and shared videos/photos. It was reassuring to see my dog comfortable and playing. Thank you!!”
“I’m so happy with Josephine! She took great care of Kiwi. Kiwi is a puppy so she has a lot of energy and can be a little demanding and Josephine was very understanding and loving. I got multiple updates throughout the day which was amazing and I’m sure I’ll be reaching out to her in the future! Thanks again and she loves her new little bandana ❤️”
“I could not have had a better dog sitter for my dog Remi. She had an amazing time and she did so well with her dog Bruce. Frances was amazing about everything from sending updates, taking pictures, keeping her feeding schedule and talking her on walks. She’s the best dog sitter I’ve had and it’s hard to trust people with your pets especially when they can’t speak up to share their experience. I will definitely work with her in the future. Thank you again!!”
“I’m so grateful to Paul and Lisa for their kind care of my sweet but anxious rescue dog Ollie. I’ve had peace of mind knowing he’s well looked after when my family’s out of town. Thank you so much!”
“Our dog was really happy during his stay and Edward seemed equally happy to spend time caring for him. Edward was very flexible, easy to communicate with, and provided many photos of their adventures.”
“This was our first booking with Coris and could not be more pleased!! She made our little girl feel comforted and cared for. The daily updates made us feel our pet was in good hands. Thank you so much Coris and looking forward to the next stay.”

Josephine was fantastic 🙌…attentive, kind, and caring with Panda, who is diabetic. She sent regular updates with pictures and was very communicative throughout the stay. This was a last-minute booking on a hot workday (July 19) after my truck’s AC went out, so it felt like a bit of an emergency. I’m truly grateful, thank you so much!
Amanda was simply amazing! She watched my sweet husky girl for a few days and sent me pictures of her playing and relaxing. She kept me updated daily and very responsive. My husky can be a picky eater and Amanda was able to prep her wet food as instructed. Will be using Amanda again in the future!
Aharon boarded my dog, Matisse, for 9 days, and I had a great experience. He was very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the stay. He regularly sent photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind and showed that Matisse was having a great time. When I picked Matisse up, he was happy, relaxed, and showed no signs of stress. He settled back in at home immediately and didn’t seem to have any complaints about his stay. I would definitely trust Aharon to watch Matisse again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
Shirley made sure both of my dogs had a great time while in her care. She also is very knowledgeable about dogs and behavior. I received frequent updates and pictures/videos which ensured me that they were doing well. We appreciate all that she has done for us and the pups!
Mayra was awesome! She took excellent care of Draco while we were away. She was communicative and kept us up to date as she sent me videos and photos of Draco, which put our minds at ease considering this was our first time hiring a dog sitter. We highly recommend Mayra to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter.
Gabriela was wonderful with our girl Rosie during a 3 night stay. Rosie is a high energy bird dog and was going through her first heat, but Gabriela followed her routine perfectly, changed her diapers, and sent lots of photos and videos. Her dog Kobe is a friendly sweetheart and got along great with Rosie. Highly recommend!
Great experience overall. Daisy came home calm, relaxed, and very well taken care of, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was out of town. Communication was smooth, and I could tell she got plenty of attention and care during the stay. Definitely appreciate the help and would book again. Highly recommend.
Amanda is our go to dog sitter for our dogs Maddie and Bo! We always know they are well taken care of and she consistently sends pictures and updates on how they’re doing. She is flexible with drop off and pick up times, which is so helpful when travel plans unexpectedly change. I can’t recommend Amanda enough, she’s the best!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ontario on Rover is $50 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 6,455 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ontario. 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 Ontario 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 Ontario 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 Ontario 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 Ontario.
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 Ontario 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 CA 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.
