Gauri is a wonderful sitter. Within just a few minutes of meeting her for the first time, Zeus became very comfortable with both her and Otis. Since Zeus is very pampered by his family and naturally quite shy, he usually takes some time to warm up to new people. Gauri kept me updated frequently with pictures and videos, and I was so happy to see him relax, get comfortable, and start playing with them. Zeus will definitely be spending more time with them in the future!

About: Hi! I’ve been providing full-time dog boarding and pet care in my community for the past 9 years. Caring for dogs has been a huge part of my daily life, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pup. I also have my own Golden Retriever who is currently 14 years old, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, comfort, and attentive care — especially for senior dogs. Our home is a spacious 110 x 170 ft property with one of the largest fenced backyards in the neighborhood, providing dogs with plenty of safe outdoor space to play and explore during suitable weather. When indoors, dogs are treated like part of our family and can relax comfortably in a calm home environment. I also provide regular photo and video updates every 1–3 hours, so owners can feel connected and reassured while away. Over the past 9 years of full-time boarding experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of helping dogs build healthy routines, confidence, and positive behaviors in a home-style setting. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priority! I’m a full-time dog boarder and a stay-at-home mom, so dogs are rarely left alone and are always part of our daily family life. Our typical day starts around 8–9 AM with outdoor potty time and backyard play. Depending on the weather, dogs usually spend about 10–30 minutes outside enjoying the yard and social time. After coming back inside, I observe their energy levels and interactions to see whether they’d like to continue playing indoors or settle down and relax. If the weather is rainy, too cold, or uncomfortable, we usually do a quick potty break and head back inside, where I’ll add more indoor play and enrichment time before breakfast instead. Breakfast is usually served around 9–10 AM. After meals, each dog is encouraged to have a calm, quiet rest period for a few hours. I’m very mindful about avoiding intense activity right after eating, since it can lead to stomach issues or discomfort, especially for larger breeds. Around 12–1 PM, we head outside again for another backyard break and play session, usually around 20–30 minutes depending on the weather. On beautiful days, dogs may stay out longer and enjoy our large shaded backyard with mature trees. During colder or rainy days, outdoor time is kept shorter for comfort and safety. Inside, dogs have access to about 2,800 sq ft of indoor living space and are treated like family members, not kenneled all day. On weekdays around 2:30 PM, I briefly leave for about 30 minutes to pick up my child from school. If I’m caring for a particularly anxious dog, I may bring them along for the short car ride so they feel more comfortable and secure. Our third outdoor session is usually between 4–5 PM, again depending on weather and the dogs’ energy levels. Dinner is served around 6 PM, followed by another calm rest period to help digestion and keep everyone relaxed for the evening. Around 9 PM, we do one final backyard potty break before bedtime. Since it’s already dark by then, outdoor time is usually kept to about 10 minutes. After that, the dogs settle in for the night and sleep indoors with us near the primary bedroom, just like part of the family. I currently have a 14-year-old Golden Retriever and a 12-year-old rescued small mixed-breed dog. Over the past 9 years of full-time boarding, both my dogs and I have gained a great deal of experience living and interacting with dogs of all personalities, ages, and energy levels. I’m especially experienced with senior dogs and pay very close attention to behavior, movement, appetite, energy changes, and overall comfort. Because I observe dogs carefully throughout the day, I’m often able to notice signs of discomfort or health concerns early. My boarding environment is designed to help dogs maintain healthy routines, emotional balance, and positive social behaviors. For example, after meals, dogs are encouraged to rest calmly instead of continuing active play, which helps protect digestion and reduce risks such as bloating or stomach discomfort. I also schedule at least four potty breaks every day to support overall comfort and urinary health. Dog boarding is my full-time focus — I don’t run another business or work outside the home — which means my attention stays fully on the dogs in my care. Constant companionship and supervision can also provide a lot of emotional comfort for dogs while they are away from home. Weather conditions are something I take seriously as well. Extremely cold temperatures can affect dogs physically, especially seniors or smaller breeds, while wet conditions may contribute to skin irritation, paw inflammation, or discomfort. During hot summer days, outdoor time is adjusted carefully to avoid overheating, especially during midday hours. We often use shaded areas, fans, or tents to keep dogs comfortable outdoors when needed. In colder weather, dogs may wear jackets when temperatures drop below around 10°C. On rainy days, dogs are thoroughly towel-dried after coming back inside to keep them warm, dry, and comfortable. These are not occasional routines — they are habits and care practices I’ve consistently followed every single day over the past 9 years.

About: I have lived with and cared for dogs for over 15 years, so I truly understand their personalities, routines, and emotional needs. Every dog is different, which is why I always start with a meet and greet to get to know your pet’s behaviour, comfort level, and habits before any stay. My husband Prasanth and I are also pet parents of a 3 year old lab, so we completely understand the anxiety and concern owners feel when they are away. We make sure to keep communication open with regular photo and video updates to help you feel connected and reassured. I am certified in Pet First Aid for dogs and cats, and I only host a maximum of two dogs at a time. This allows me to provide personalized attention, calm companionship, and a home like environment where every pup feels safe and loved. My goal is simple: to give your pet the same care, comfort, and affection I give my own. Me and my husband work from home, so there is almost always someone around to look after the pets. This allows us to give them plenty of attention throughout the day. At my home, every dog is treated like family. I have a secure backyard where pets can safely play, stretch, and enjoy fresh air throughout the day. I always supervise outdoor time to make sure everyone stays happy and safe. Inside, the environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly. I keep water available at all times, follow each pet’s feeding schedule carefully, and make sure they have comfortable spots to rest.

About: As a dedicated pet parent to my own 2-year-old pup, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, breeds, and personalities, and I love creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for every dog in my care. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pup needs regular walks, playtime, medication reminders, a consistent routine, or simply extra love and cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel happy and at ease. I treat every dog like they’re my own — with patience, care, and lots of affection. My goal is to give you peace of mind while your pup enjoys their time with me. I can’t wait to meet your dog and welcome them into a loving home away from home! Since I work from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home most weekdays and weekends, which allows me to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also happy to provide daycare for young pups who need extra supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of play and socialization. I enjoy creating a safe, comfortable routine that helps every dog feel happy and cared for while they’re away from home. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where your pup can feel right at home. My home has a fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, and my friendly dog is always happy to have a new friend to play and keep company. For pups who need extra structure or a quieter space, I also have a spare room and playpen available upon request. Most of our furniture is low-height, helping create a safer environment and reducing concerns about jumping or accidental falls. I focus on making sure every dog feels secure, comfortable, and cared for while they’re staying with me.

About: I currently have a job at an animal shelter, that has me attend to both dogs and cats. I know how to care for them, to give them mental stimulation and enrichment, to properly clean up after them, all the works. Before I’ve had to start working at the shelter, I had to complete a course specifically about animal care, and what to do in many different kinds of situations. I’m sure that your pet would have an amazing stay with me! :) I've taken care of my yorkshire terrier since I was ~8 years old. I've had her ever since she was a pup. Unfortunately, she has passed, but she made it to almost 14 years old. I know how to take care of the smallest lil guys even up to the oldest sweethearts. I've also brought my dog to a dog park multiple times, so she's been around multiple different kinds of dogs, and that therefore means that I have also surrounded myself with a bunch of different dogs! I've visited my grandparents a few times, and hung out with their larger dog (labrador) and cared for their cat that had little kittens. I've also occasionally looked after my neighbours cat, and cleaned up their litterbox, etc. I'm currently attending university, so I'll have to work around a schedule, but I’ll still be able to take them out for walks, etc! luckily my schedule pretty flexible, so tell me the time you want, and I will try to make it work. I have recently started working at an animal shelter, but for the times that I’ll be over there, my family will take care of your babies at home :) I have a fenced backyard, with an area of grass for your babies to do their business in. Also, there's a park close to my house, and I would gladly bring them over there to play if you wanted me to do so! I am also able to walk them around my neighbourhood. my house is a pretty relaxed environment, and I've become pretty knowledgeable on animal behaviours + indicators of health thanks to my current studies in animal biology and my experiences in my current job at the animal shelter. I can assure you that I will do my very best to take care of your buddy!

About: I have 12+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve supported neighbors and family with daily walks, feeding schedules, enrichment, and basic training reinforcement. Because I work from home, I’m highly responsive and can provide reliable, consistent care. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and administering simple medications if needed. My goal is always a safe, structured, and loving experience. Your pet won’t just be walked — they’ll be genuinely cared for. I treat every dog like my own and take the time to understand their personality, energy level, and routine. As someone who truly misses my own furry friends back home, I pour that love into every pet I care for. Since I work from home, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide consistent walks, drop-ins, and check-ins throughout the day without rushing. I’m available weekdays during daytime hours and most weekends. Because I’m home-based, I can be flexible and responsive to your pet’s specific schedule and needs. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. During walks, I use secure leashes and stay alert to surroundings at all times. I avoid overcrowded areas and ensure dogs are comfortable and hydrated. In your home, I respect your space and carefully follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions. I always double-check doors, gates, and locks before leaving. Clear communication and photo updates are included with every visit.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Brampton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Brampton on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of July 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 4,741 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Brampton. About 89% of Brampton 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 Brampton 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
  • 95% 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.
