“Shirley was great! Sent me pics, videos and updates, which I appreciate. I could see my Theo was having a great time and well taken care of. I highly recommend her she was very professional and did a great job taking care of my fur baby while we were away!”
“Leng always kept us up to date on our dog’s day. Lefty is pretty sociable and loves all the attention she gave. I especially loved that she kept our little guy busy and supervised. Will book her again.”
“Huina was excellent and my dog was very happy and well taken care of! My dog is a rescue and a bit scared of being touched by strangers and Huina respected her boundaries well! She sent me timely videos and pics of Tara and made the entire process very comfortable for me!”
“When it comes to my babies I’m definitely a helicopter mom so finding a sitter while spending two weeks in Japan was stressful. Thank god I ran across Xutao and gave him a chance based on his outstanding reviews. He did not disappoint. He treated my puppies so good that I was skeptical they might not want to return home! Xutao kept us updated daily with pics and even fed them a digestive meal while there that definitely helped. Next time I travel I will definitely be using Xutao and I’m sure my poodles will be excited to return!”
“We left our 70lb pitbull for the first time with Analisa for almost a week and she was so great! We will definitely work with her again in the future. She has amazing and timely communication— met with me for a pre-meet to make sure our dog was a good fit for her and her home, accommodated my schedule changes with kindness, and always put my dog’s comfort and safety first. She sent tons of photos and videos during his stay and she and her family showed our dog so much love and treated him like their own! He came back happy and tired from all the excitement and fun he had. Thank you Analisa and family for your thoughtfulness and great care of Chalupa!”
“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!”
“Marisol was great with my Rocky, who is 11 years old and had never been left with anyone other than family or friends but there was an event all my usual suspects were attending so I had to find a situation I felt comfortable with and I’m glad to have found Marisol & her daughter.. I received updates plus photos daily so I saw Rocky was surely included in their family day to day life.. And when I came to pick up, Rocky seemed like he’d of been just as happy if I’d of left him there haha.. I recommend Marisol when you need someone to give your fur baby the attention & love while your away.!”
“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.”
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 always separate my cats 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.
“This was our girls 6th stay with Estella! They’ve gotten so comfy they jump with excitement when we tell them we are going to visit her! She takes great care of them. They always come back relaxed, rested, and as clean as when we left them. We get pictures, videos and updates during their entire stay and she feeds and cares for our girls just as we would at home.”
“Lesly was so great. I highly recommend her services to care after your fur babies. It was my lil guy’s Cooper first time ever spending the night under care and Lesly was very attentive. Cooper immediately took to her and had such a great time! She sent updates throughout the day and I felt very at ease. Cooper will definitely be back! :)”
“Jessica and her family took such wonderful care of our dog, Hershey! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. They were incredibly attentive, caring, and treated him like part of their own family. Jessica was also an excellent communicator. She sent us daily updates with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Hershey was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. We are so grateful for the exceptional care they provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jessica again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and reliable dog sitter!”
“Duya took excellent care of our Shiba Inu, Haru. Throughout the stay, we received daily updates, including photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind and allowed us to see how well Haru was doing. We provided a general outline of Haru’s care routine, and Duya followed it attentively. Her communication, reliability, and genuine care for Haru were greatly appreciated. We would be happy to trust Duya with Haru again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter.”
“This is the first time we use Rover and we are very glad we found May as Matsu's sitter. She is a very good caretaker and she updated info on Matsu daily. We could see that our Matsu really liked her as well👍”

Amanda is a wonderful host! We were looking for last minute care since our sitter plans fell through and she gladly accommodated us. Amanda is super sweet, responsive and took great care of our dog. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again in the future!

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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ontario on Rover is $50 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 6,319 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.
95% 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.
