“Such nice people. I was worried about leaving my pup anywhere for the day and they took those worries away ! Would definitely go back. Sadie came back tired and happy 😊 and slept the whole car ride home. Thank you!!”
About: My husband and I have both grown up with dogs and cats, so caring for animals comes naturally. We work remotely, so your pet will get lots of attention, walks, and cuddle time throughout the day. We share our home with Phoebe, our friendly 5-year-old Goldendoodle, and Sherman, our sweet 8-year-old cat—both great with other pets and happy to provide company and entertainment. We understand how hard it is to be away from your pets, so we share regular updates to help you feel connected. Your pet is part of our family. My husband and I both work remotely, giving us plenty of time to walk, play, cuddle, and care for your pets just like our own In our home, pets enjoy a calm environment with walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions. We follow their routine and have a crate available if needed. We will provide attentive care, stick to your pet’s schedule, and share regular updates for peace of mind.

“Shelly and her partner were amazing with my nearly 15 year old husky. They were super attentive to her needs, flexible and very accommodating. I highly recommend them if you are looking for quality care with someone you can trust - your fur baby (no matter how old they are) are in good hands. Thank you again for being so great with Maia (and making my time away worry free). Katharine”
“Seema was absolutely wonderful with Majnu. She was incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely understood his needs, which meant a lot to me. She gave me regular updates that kept me at ease and took such thoughtful care of him throughout. I could tell Majnu was comfortable and happy with her. I would 100% recommend Seema to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Majnu with her again.”
“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”
“Cindy was amazing as always. Oscar loves spending time with her. She also socialize him with her neighborhood kids and they also play with Oscar. We are happy to see him being loved. Thanks Cindy :)”
“Bill & Tracy took care of my 10 month old Cockapoo Charlie. They gave updates on what he was doing. He was wiped when I picked him up. I will be using your services again!”
“My dog is an overwhelming ball of puppy energy in a 45-lb body, but Shelley was amazing with her! She watched Peanut on the first truly humid day of the year, which was (by extension) the first humid day of Peanut's little life, but she kept her well hydrated and cool with a kiddie pool and breaks indoors. Shelley's own dog is a lovely Saint Bernard who was great with Peanut's chaos. All in all, my dog had a great time! Thanks, Shelley!”

“Linda has been absolutely fantastic with my fur baby! She was very attentive to her. She provided multiple updates throughout the day and my Bella was so excited to go back the next day!

The entire experience was easy and took a massive weight off my shoulders. Thank You Linda! 🐾”

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: I have never lived in a home without a dog. Since I was a baby I’ve been on the floor playing with a dog every day of my life. The dogs in my life gave me so much growing up and now I’d like to return the favour not just to my own dog but to as many as I can. I show dogs all the love and respect in the world, and honour each unique personality and their preferences. For years I have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family so I thought it time to extend the love further! I am currently a stay-at-home mom so I am home with my dog for most of the day every day. My kiddos now attend kindergarten and daycare so your pet will have my undivided attention during working hours and get extra love from kids who have never known a home without a dog in the afternoons & evenings. I make time for play, walks, & snuggles every day. The dogs need these things just as much as the kiddos do! Happy to feed & walk based on your individual requests. I have experience weighing raw dog food and incorporating medications and supplements as needed. We personally brush our dogs teeth so if that is something you would like us to upkeep, I am happy to do that as well.

There are 1,135 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Ancaster. About 90% of Ancaster 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 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 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:
- 77% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
