“Stacey took care of our Charlie in a doggy daycare at her house. Charlie was well taken care of and enjoyed watching/patrolling her backyard. We would not hesitate to leave Charlie with her again!”

About: I am a lifelong pet lover who has been a proud owner of cats and dogs for over 15 years. My passion for animals began in childhood and has only grown stronger with time. I believe that pets are an integral part of the family and should be treated with love, respect, and care. Experience: I have owned pets for over 15 years and have extensive experience caring for cats and dogs. Throughout the years, I have provided my pets with daily exercise, proper nutrition, and plenty of affection. I have also dealt with various health issues and emergencies, including administering medication, treating wounds, and taking my pets to the vet. As a part-time pet sitter, I integrate pet care into my schedule by setting aside specific blocks of time each week to devote to my clients' pets. I make sure to communicate with pet owners about their pet's needs and schedule, so I can plan accordingly. For example, if a pet needs to be fed at a specific time, I will ensure that I am available during that window. I also try to be flexible and willing to work around the schedules of both the pet and the owner. Overall, while pet care is not my full-time job, I take my role and work hard to ensure that each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure to create a safe and comfortable environment for them. This may include setting up a designated space for them to sleep, eat, and play, and ensuring that the area is clean and free of any potential hazards. I provide them with food and water as needed, and make sure that they receive plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. Depending on the pet, I may also need to administer medication or tend to any special needs they have. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner and make sure to maintain their routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them at the specified times, taking them for walks or playtime, and providing them with any necessary medication or treatment. I also make sure to keep the living space clean and tidy, including cleaning litter boxes or picking up after the pet on walks. Throughout my time with the pet, I provide them with love and attention to ensure that they feel comfortable and at ease in their surroundings. In both situations, I keep open communication with the pet owner to provide updates on how their pet is doing and address any concerns they may have. My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the pets in my care and to ensure that their physical and emotional needs are met to the best of my ability.
“Leanne was great and made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog Molly with her. Leanne gave us regular updates and photos to let us know Molly was doing well. Molly came home happy and tired after playing with the other dogs. Would definitely recommend Leanne and we will be using her again for daycare soon.”

“I couldn’t be any happier with having Kumudini watch my dog Romeo! She took such great care of him, giving him plenty of care, love, and exercise! It was clear from the updates and photos that Romeo felt completely comfortable and happy. I felt at ease knowing he was in such capable and caring hands - highly recommended!”

“Natasha is really a pet lover. She took very good care of Wolfie. She gave him medicine on time. She also sent me updates and photos. I was first time user but definitely book her again.Thanks Natasha.”
About: I’ve been sitting dogs for 10 +years. Small and large dog experience. I am home most of the day with fenced yard to provide lots of play time. Sufficient walks and exercise provided. Extra bonus includes lots of extra love from the whole family. I am working part time and spend most of my time at home. We go for daily walks and provide lots play time and love to your pets. I have a fenced yard and only provide care to one pet at a time or 2 from the same house hold. Can crate if needed when not home.
About: Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and I treat them as such (sometimes better than people!). With a lifetime of experience living with and caring for medium to large-sized dogs, I have a natural knack for connecting with pups of all personalities. I’ve helped train dogs for family and friends, so whether your furry friend needs a little extra guidance or just lots of love, I’ve got it covered. I’m active, playful, and always ready for games, long walks, or snuggle sessions. Dogs seem to sense that I’m a true “dog person”—I’m often the first person a new pup will approach and warm up to. Their happiness, comfort, and wagging tails are always my top priority! As I work from Home, I am able to be with your Dog 24/7 & Regular Pet Care is already a part of my Daily routine. I can and will care for your dogs exactly as you would, it will be like they never left home (perhaps even better!). We have a large, fenced in backyard as well as a large, fenced in dog park (that is hardly used by others) only minutes away. Big or Small, we love them all! If your dog needs to be crated at night, we can definitely accommodate. We will also share pictures and videos with you of your puppers while with us. At the end of the day, we want both you and your dog to have a completely stress-free "vacation" and will do everything possible to insure this.
“Vanessa and her dad were a last minute booking for Luna and they were truly a godsend. They made sure Luna was comfortable in the space and with their dog. I could tell that they paid attention to her needs through the day.”


About: With 25 years of dog experience, I can provide care for dogs ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I understand how important it is leave your fur baby in good hands, as I have raised two of my own. I am passionate about serving and caring for each dog as if they are my own. I have raised a red heeler and a Doberman. Since my Doberman passed away in 2022, I have specialized on caring for other dogs. For example; I trained and gave my neighbors dog walks daily. I also sit have sat for family members, work colleagues and friends. I look forward to meeting yours! I work Monday to Friday, 9-5PM. Since I work remotely, I would be able to watch your dog in the day time as well. For boarding and sitting, I can be flexible, as I work from home. I do not have a backyard, however, I have space and the intention to exercise your dog on a walk. For dog walking, I am open to evenings and weekends I do not have pets in my home, but when I dog sit, it varies as some dogs require the crate. I am open to a dog roaming free in my home. However, I may refrain from letting dogs on the couch. I can most certainly set up a doggy bed. I live in a townhouse with no backyard, so the exercise I provide will be done with walks and jogs.
About: What sets me apart is the level of attentiveness, structure, and emotional care I bring to every pet. I’m calm, patient, and highly observant, which helps me quickly understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with puppies (potty routines, basic training reinforcement, leash skills) and senior dogs (gentle handling, medication routines, slower walks, and comfort-focused care). I treat every pet as if they’re my own, with consistency, safety, affection, and respect for their unique needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I work part-time from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, feeding routines, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins, and I can adapt easily to each pet’s unique schedule and needs. I prioritize safety, calm, and trust in every environment. In my home, pets are cared for in a clean, quiet, and secure space with constant supervision, structured routines, and plenty of affection. In clients’ homes, I follow all care instructions closely, maintain consistency in routines, and respect each pet’s habits and comfort zones. I’m attentive to health, behavior, and emotional well-being, and I communicate clearly with owners for peace of mind. My goal is always to create a safe, stress-free, and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for
“Stephen and Vanessa, Thank you so much for taking such good care of Jasper. He looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we picked him up. We really appreciated the updates and the love you gave him. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We would definitely love to book with you again! :)”

I provide luxurious, personalized pet care in a safe, fully fenced home.

About: My sons and I bring a wealth of experience and a deep love for pets. They’ve helped care for their dad’s German Shepherd, and we also raised our own beloved dachshund named Marshall, who lived to be 17 years old. As he got older, my sons were especially gentle, taking him on slow, easy walks to keep him comfortable. Our home is filled with kindness, attentiveness, and care, and your dog will be welcomed into a loving family environment with me and my two sons, aged 10 and 14. I’m currently available any day or night of the week. I can take your dog out for walks by the water in the morning and evening, and my sons can provide additional walks in the neighbourhood. I’m happy to accommodate dog-sitting or walking needs with advance notice. Whether you need regular weekend care or occasional support, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention they need! Our home is a safe, loving environment, perfect for pets who need a little extra comfort while their owners are away. We have a secure, fenced yard where your dog can safely enjoy fresh air and playtime. If crating is part of their routine, I’m happy to help—just bring along their crate. My two sons and I will be here to give your dog lots of companionship and play, so they’ll never feel alone or anxious. We’re a family that’s kind, gentle, and dedicated to making pets feel understood, loved, and right at home.
“We can’t rave enough about Jeff. As new puppy parents, we were so anxious about leaving our 4-month-old puppy, Cheddar, but Jeff immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease. Every time we drop Cheddar off, he is so excited to see Jeff and his family — which says everything! Jeff has been caring for Cheddar through Rover, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He is kind, reliable, and genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after. He took the time to understand Cheddar’s personality, helped him feel comfortable, and kept us updated throughout his stays. It’s clear that Jeff treats every dog like his own, and we feel completely confident knowing Cheddar is in his care. We cannot recommend Jeff enough and will definitely be booking with him for a long time to come!”

“Mousumi took good care of our 10 weeks old Maltipoo for a day. She kept us posted about our puppy’s update with videos and pictures. My puppy loved playing with her dog. Will definitely book with her again in future. Thanks Mousumi again.”

Natasha was an amazing sitter and took such wonderful care of my puppy! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. She sent me so many photos and updates throughout the day, which I truly appreciated. It was clear that he was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love, attention, and playtime. I would absolutely recommend Natasha to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful pet sitter. Thank you so much, Natasha!

Melissa and Nigel were amazing! They were able to take Sage as a last minute booking and took such amazing care of her. They took her on a nice long walk which is perfect for a high energy dog like her. They also sent lots of photos and it was obvious she was very comfortable with them.

We very rarely leave our 2-year-old fur baby away from home, but Kumudini took such wonderful care of Skye as if she were her own. She is incredibly approachable, kind, and genuinely caring. It was clear to us how much she loves dogs and how dedicated she is to providing them with the love, comfort, and attention they deserve. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Kumudini to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog caregiver, and she is definitely at the top of our list for future bookings!

I cannot recommend Erin highly enough! She cared for my greyhound, Georgia, during the week, for an entire month and I had complete peace of mind the whole time. Erin has a dog of her own, Callie, and the two dogs got along famously. It was adorable. It was clear Georgia felt comfortable, happy, and at home with Erin. So much so, that Georgia would wait in front of the car, wanting to go see Erin and Callie…on the weekend! Erin was incredibly attentive to my dog’s needs and always kept me informed and updated. I especially appreciated her honesty and transparency about everything that happened while I was away; even the funny moments, like when my dog managed to eat poop. It showed me that Erin was truly paying attention and cared about keeping me in the loop. It’s obvious Erin genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. I would absolutely trust her to watch Georgia again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter. Thank you so so much Erin!

We are so happy to have found Hannah! She was so kind, responsive, and accommodating. Our dog Morty is a senior rescue dog who can be anxious and quite particular with his routine. Hannah was really interested in learning about him and asked great questions to make sure his stay was as comfortable as possible. Her family was so warm and welcoming, they truly love dogs and have years of experience with them. Her dog Ziah is one of the best dogs we have ever met and that is testament to their love and care. As soon as we met Hannah and her family, they put us at ease and we knew Morty would be in good hands. We would highly recommend Hannah and would not hesitate to book her again!

We rebooked Amit and Neha for another doggy daycare day for Mila. Mila was very excited when we pulled into their neighbourhood, and immediately asked Neha for belly rubs as soon as she saw her. I’m happy that Mila enjoys her time with them, and looks forward to her next visit!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Ajax
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Ajax on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 3,875 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Ajax. About 89% of Ajax sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Ajax commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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 .
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.
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 ON ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
