“We were so happy to have found Jill to watch our dog while we were visiting from out of town . She was a short drive from the village and was flexible with drop off and pick up time , allowing us to explore and enjoy blue mountain and pick up after dinner. She was easy to communicate/coordinate with and was able to accommodate a last minute request to add my brother’s dog to our booking. Thankful to have found a safe and fun place for the dogs to spend their days. They both had a great time.”
“Jack had a great day with Jan and Mark. A long walk in the rain, getting to know Nana, ball play in the water in the afternoon! He came home a very happy camper! Thank you both.”

About: Our names are Kristin & Bora. We both adore dogs.... hypoallergenic breeds/mix only, because of allergies. We are both retired at an earlier age. We take the pups on a long morning walk in the forest and we go for an evening walk together. We have a fully fenced yard for outdoor play between walks. After we lost our "puppy" of 11 years, we got another little fur ball that is now 5 years old. We then added a friend for her that is now 2 years old. We offer our home to provide your dog a welcoming and safe place where they feel loved with no shortage of fun, attention and plenty of toys. We can keep in contact through text messages/phone calls/WhatsApp and can send pictures. Your precious friend will be very happy with us. We are both retired and absolutely adore the little fur balls. We spend our entire day looking after them, going for long walks, playing, etc.... We have a fenced yard that is safety checked for the pups. We treat them according to your instructions (just like you do at home). We have a form where you can specify feeding habits, play habits, sleeping habits, special requests.
“Tobie took to her right away, she was prepared at the met with a book to take notes to fully care for our Diabetic dog. It’s was great to find someone willing to give him insulin so we could enjoy our daughters wedding without any worry. He came home happy and loved playing with other dog friends.”
“Skye looked happy and comfortable at Vanessa's house. She sent me pictures and videos so I was at ease when skye was at her place. She took very good care of him and I would definitely think of her in future for my sitting needs.”

About: I have been taking care of animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and species as long as I can remember. I am very cognizant of all the animals in my care and find I can read their cues like a book. I am learning dog training and have worked hard with my dog on his skills. I am no stranger to giving pups medication as well, let me know what your pups needs and I can take care of them as if they were my own! I am currently a stay-at-home mom of 1, so I have lots of time and love to give your furry family. We are quite flexible so let us know your needs for care and we will be happy to oblige! We have a large fenced backyard, the dog beach nearby and 2 dog parks not far from our house. We have 1 dog and 3 cats in the home so we are very familiar with accommodating different personalities and their needs! We can crate pups if they need some space or we have a deck that they can lay on to get some sun.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, different sizes, ages and breeds. Big importance with leash manners and socializing.

About: I’ve had lots of dogs and cats over the years. Each experiences was different as the dogs, It is a wonderful experience. I always treat my dogs and cats as they were my own children, with love, care, proper nutrition, playing with them and going on walks. I also teach my children how to treat animals and how to care for them. Such as feeding, playful play, walking, and showing them love and affection. The best part is having a communication with them and they won’t tell anyone haha. I also want to mention I have knowledge on cleaning and maintaining animal living spaces, Bathing and grooming animals, including cutting claws and trimming fur, giving basic obedience training to animals when necessary. I am available to care for both dogs and cats on a daily or weekly basis, with flexible scheduling throughout the day. Please note that services are available up until 10:00 PM. I provide attentive, reliable care for pets either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on their preference and the service requested. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family in a safe, clean, and welcoming environment. I follow their usual feeding routines, ensure fresh water is always available, provide regular exercise and playtime, and offer plenty of affection and supervision throughout the day. I also have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and space for crate use if needed. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain the pet’s normal routine and comfort. This includes feeding schedules, walks, litter box or waste cleanup, medication administration if required, and enrichment activities. I make sure the home is respected and kept tidy while ensuring the pet feels secure in their familiar environment. In both settings, I prioritize the pet’s safety, well-being, and emotional comfort, while also keeping owners updated as needed.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding Dog Care! Kreston is an absolute gem when it comes to pet care! From the moment I met her, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and treats every dog like her own. My pup instantly warmed up to her—something that rarely happens! Kreston is incredibly professional, reliable, and kind. She keeps me updated with adorable photos and little notes about how my dog is doing, which gives me total peace of mind when I’m away.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Collingwood
We tend to worry about leaving our dog as she can get anxious, but Richard was great! Not only was Reya so comfortable with him, he did multiple walks with her, played with her, followed her food schedule so much so that on Day 2, she happily settled in without any hesitation. He kept sending updates and photos of Reya which was so helpful and calming for us. Richard is very good with dogs and we will definitely book him again if we are in Collingwood.
Rieko looked after my dog Blossom for the day while my partner and I were at Scandinave Spa, and I had such a great experience with her. She was incredibly warm and friendly from the start, and communication was excellent both before the visit and throughout the day. Blossom got out for a walk and had some backyard playtime, which she absolutely loves. It was clear that Rieko really paid attention to making sure she was comfortable and happy. When I picked Blossom up, she was relaxed and clearly well cared for. I’d happily recommend Rieko to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable dog sitter. Blossom had a great day with her!

There are 166 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Collingwood. About 89% of Collingwood 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 Collingwood 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
