“My older dog Maple was very well taken care of by Rie and Masahiro! They enthusiastically responded to my request and warmly welcomed Maple into their home. Maple suffers from separation anxiety, so it can sometimes be nerve wracking to leave her with someone new. However, Rie and Masahiro kept in touch with updates throughout the visit and shared lots of photos and a video of Maple having fun on a walk and relaxing. It definitely helped me not to worry and enjoy the event that I was attending, knowing she was in such good hands. Rie and Masahiro were also flexible when the end time needed to be extended by half an hour, which I really appreciated! I would highly recommend Rie and Masahiro and look forward to contacting them again when I'm in the Dundas area. Liz”
“Our first time leaving Ivy with a sitter and Priyanka made it very easy!! Ivy was very well taken care of and if we need a sitter again will definetly rebook with Priyanka.”
“Our Winston loves Chetan and his farm. It’s a blessing to have him available in our area. There is lots of room for him to run and plenty of stimulation. He comes home tired and content. A 5 star experience”
“We used Seema for a daycare service, her communication was great. Drop off and pick up were seamless and the best part is my puppy came home happy and tired. I will definitely be using Seema for future help when I need it. Thanks so much!!”
“Maria and Oscar were amazing with our dog Goose for daycare! They were able to accommodate a last minute booking and took amazing care of her! She was super excited to run into their place each day and was nice and tired each evening. I would recommend them to anybody!”
“We were nervous as it was Ruby Sue’s first time going to doggy day care but Linda did an exceptional job looking after Ruby-Sue, even giving her more play time and walks than we expected! She also gave many pictures and updates which put us at ease, and best of all, Ruby Sue loves Linda and came home a very happy and tired pup! We look forward to book with Linda again.”
About: Love to be around pets especially dogs. I dog sit every time I get a chance and always make a fuss( awesome fur baby auntie). I have cared for family, friends and also from a house sitting website that I would always ensure there was a pet to care for as well. I had cats all my life so I am use to them and love them just as much. If I wasn't an entrepreneur I am sure I would be a vet or in some way a service to animals and our dear pets. My one cousin is studying to become a vet and i talk with her all the time about the best way to care for a pet. I am an entrepreneur and can make my own schedule. I have a online based business and can work from anywhere to ensure I have enough time for the furry loved ones. I care for pets in their own environment. I like to keep them as close to what they are use to as far as schedules/structures. I give them a dose of love with any and all activities we do together.
“Sarah was very kind to take our daycare booking on a short notice when our previous sitter cancelled last minute. She made sure Nutmeg was comfortable during the stay and communicated with us throughout which put my mind at ease.”
“When I leave Shadow with Lana and Arthur he has such a lovely time there. Both Lana and Arthur are very knowledgeable about dogs and you can see that they both have so much love for these animals. They are kind, caring and affectionate and make sure that Shadow feels at home. Shadow gets to play with Jet their own dog and has plenty of healthy interaction. I feel very happy to have found such a loving couple who take care of Shadow like their own and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a healthy and loving place to board their pet.”
“My puppy came home happy and tired. Thanks for taking wonderful care of our little girl. Communication was amazing and I feel very comfortable that Ellie is in good hands under your care. Thank you!”
About: I've had the opportunity to care for several dogs over the years, and have enjoyed welcoming friends' pets into my home. Since the passing of my own dog, I have started pet-sitting casually for friends, and am now seeking to widen my client base. I am conscientious and seek to get to know each dog's unique personality and needs. I'm currently available all day to care for your pet. I have flexible pickup and drop-off hours. I can provide multiple walks per day and frequent bathroom breaks. I have a fully fenced backyard, and live in a bright, open house with plenty of space for play and rest. Note that I live on the second level of a house with stairs only access - dogs must be able to do the stairs to come in and out!
About: We have both owned and taken care of pups our whole lives. We have a mini-doodle that will become your pups best friend during their entire stay here. I work from home with a very flexible schedule which offers a great environment for your pup. I am home all day so your pup will never feel alone. I have a fenced yard with a park behind my home. We will do minimum two walks a day and on sunny days I will work outside while your dog spends some quality time in the sun.
“Britt took care of our 9 month old Shih Tzu today and Coco loved it there. She had playmates and came home happy and tired! We would highly recommend Britt for your fur baby!”
“Ashley and Jake were amazing with our dog, Appa. We were moving and had plans cancel last minute. They agreed to watch Appa and it was a huge comfort to know he was taken care of. They sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. Appa came back to us happy and tired from all the walks and playtime. I could not recommend them enough”

Help your dog become familiar with the day-care environment before their first full day. Arrange a Meet & Greet so they can visit the sitter’s home, meet the sitter and any resident pets, and explore the space while you are there. This can make the environment feel more familiar and help you and the sitter confirm that the setup is right for your dog.
Pack anything you and the sitter have agreed your dog will need, such as:
- Their usual food and approved treats, with feeding instructions
- Medication, with clear dosage instructions, if needed
- Their collar or harness and other walking equipment
- Familiar comfort items, such as a blanket or favourite toy
- Any seasonal gear they may need
On the day of the booking, keep your dog’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including their usual meal, toilet break, and some light exercise. Keep drop-off calm and brief, which may help make the transition easier.
If your dog is shy, nervous, or needs more time to adjust to unfamiliar places, ask whether a shorter introductory stay is possible before their first full day.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. Every sitter on Rover has their own routine and some may offer flexible activities suited for your dog. 94% of sitters in your city can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays.
These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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 Ancaster 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 .

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
