“Thank you Melissa and Nigel for taking such great care of our dogs again. As you know, they both had a difficult past, and it's very unusual for them (Shushu especially) to let unfamiliar people touch them. The fact that they came up to you for pets is amazing. They're clearly warming up to both of you because they trust you. This means a lot to them and us too. Thank you again. ❤️”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience with anxious dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and letting them build trust at their own pace. Because I work from home full-time, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. They’ll receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, enrichment, and walks throughout the day. Whether your pup loves adventure or prefers a slower, quieter routine, I’m happy to match their energy level and individual needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, with plenty of updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide flexible, 24/7 care and supervision. I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, meals, and medication if needed. Because my schedule is so flexible, I can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have lots of companionship, supervision, and frequent walks throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my senior dog, who is used to having canine company. Caring for an older, more sensitive dog has given me a great understanding of anxious pets and the importance of patience and consistency. I maintain a reliable routine while staying flexible to match your pet’s schedule and individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾
“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!”
“Daniel was fantastic with our two pups. There was a few other dogs at his house at the same time and being the first time away from their home, our dogs acclimated really well and very quickly. Daniel was awesome at sending update throughout the day and letting us know of any concerns. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much Norma & Bill for taking care of my Tamarind on short notice with a late pick up time. Bill was so kind and caring immediately. You just know that you’re leaving your child in great hands as soon as you meet him. Will definitely be working with them again!”
“Shamara was excellent to communicate with and responded very quickly. She dealt with my little doggy gently and ensured she was comfortable and safe at all times. She was also super accommodating to our needs. I highly recommend Shamara for all your doggy daycare needs, she won’t disappoint!”
“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!”
“Pei-Shan was wonderful. She was patient and kind as this was their first meeting. She kept us updated all through the day with lots of happy pix of our little guy. He came home happy and tired from a great day with Pei-Shan and her lovely dog. Will definitely reach out again!”

“I was so happy with Kelly's approach to my very anxious and shy dog, Doug. I have been looking for an overnight solution for Doug for when we go away - and I've found her to be too anxious in big camp environments. I thought I'd try out a dog daycare day with Kelly to see how Doug would do. Kelly was really generous with her time. We had an initial phone call, where I provided a bunch of background information on Doug. It was clear from that phone call that Kelly just really understands dogs. She took the time to find a day in her schedule that had a few dogs that would be a good fit for Doug without being overwhelming. On the day of daycare, Kelly took time to allow Doug to meet all the dogs. When Doug was still a little anxious during the day, Kelly took her on a walk to help her feel a little less anxious. She also played ball with Doug to help her warm up. (Doug is relentless with ball, so I'm sure it was a bit relentless for Kelly..:) It was amazing to see how all the dogs just listen to Kelly - with her calm and gentle approach. I'll book more daycare with Kelly and will for sure have Doug stay with her the next time we go away. Thanks Kelly!”
“We booked Caroline for daycare for our two girls, Daisy and Hazel. She did a great job looking after them. Her home is very warm and inviting and it’s very clear she cares for the dogs as if they are her own. The girls seemed to have a great time as they couldn’t wait to go back the following day. We definitely recommend Caroline for both Daycare and Boarding (we previously boarded Daisy with her).”
About: I'm Jen, a huge fan of all creatures great and small! I've had a passion for rescuing & caring for animals ever since I was a kid and I promise to love your pets as if they were my own. I'm a Durham Region small business owner & have parlayed my heart for animals into this part-time gig. My young family & I have a rambunctious but loveable rescue-mutt named Bowie so I'm more than comfortable with excitable (but friendly) dogs. We don't own a cat but I do love a kitty cuddle whenever the opportunity arises. I know how important these furry members of your family are (they truly are our best friends). I can't wait to meet you and your favourite fur friends! I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend time working with your pets and make sure they're cared for while you're out of the house! Pets that are cared for in my home become part of our family and routine. Regular walks, mealtimes, play, and cuddles are all on the agenda.

Erin is the best ever! I was nervous leaving my puppy in a new environment but Erin was super communicative with me the entire day. She made sure to send pictures & video updates while also giving me detailed messages about how my puppy was doing. My pup had a great day! I will 100% book Erin again in the future.
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!
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!
I had a wonderful experience leaving my dog with her. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I felt a warm, friendly, and welcoming vibe. She asked all the right questions about my dog’s routine, personality, and needs, which showed she genuinely cared about providing the best care. She has a large, secure backyard where my dog had plenty of space to play and explore. Throughout the day, she kept me updated with photos, which gave me peace of mind and made me feel confident that my dog was happy and well cared for. I picked up a relaxed and happy pup, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my dog with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Ajax on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 3,853 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Ajax. About 88% 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.
