“Great first stay with Janis. She is attentive to your pups needs and very kind and caring. Our nervous pup warmed up to her quickly. She sends updates throughout the day and has good communication.”
“We are visiting Toronto with our dog. Caroline was so gracious accepting my last minute request to take care of Baki for a day as we had plans to visit the museum ROM. We got pictures of him today and he was super cool when we picked him up. I highly recommand Caroline❤️”
“Carmen was great! She was kind to accommodated us in a weird schedule, which I appreciate a lot. She played with Kivu, took her for potty breaks and sent me photos and videos. She was perfect!!”
“Could you please phone me Tina I can’t seem to reach you. I don’t know if it’s my phone. I can’t find your phone number to call you. I’d like to come by. Settle my bill and pick up Lupita.”
“Nikita was terrific with my high energy mini Australian shepherd. I'm always a little nervous leaving him with someone because he does require a lot of attention in the sense that he doesn't nap much and he just wants to play all the time, but Nikita said he was great on walks, played ball with her indoors and took a couple naps here and there. He felt very comfortable with her and it made me feel good that she was comfortable with his energy levels. Would book Nikita again!”
“Vivian and Drew took excellent care of Leroy and provided lots of wonderful photos. Vivian always gives prompt updates and works with my changing schedule. Thanks again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Katherine was excellent with my dog. I was nervous using Rover for the first time but she was great at putting me at ease. Great communication and lots of updates throughout the day. Coco will be back!”
“Aravind was amazing with Zia! He understood her breed and activity level very well and he spoiled her by playing fetch with her endlessly!! She was so happy when I picked her up. Thank you so much!”
“Rodney had a great time with Lida! He did a lot of great visiting with her and her dog and did a lot of great playing in the backyard. Lida was great at communicating and providing lots of photo updates. We are excited for Rodney to stay with her again!”
“Wendy is fantastic! Our little pug, Bo, had such a good day. He was so comfortable and so well taken care of by Wendy. We would not hesitate to bring him back and I know he’s looking forward to the chance to go back!”
“Ivan always takes such good care of my miniature Dachshund Phoebe. They go on exciting adventures and she gets to experience many enriching moments. Her behavior around other dogs is much more relaxed and predictable. I know she is in good company and great care when she visits Ivan.”
“Janice was amazing with my 3 month old puppy. She really understood what puppyhood is about and was accepting of his puppy ways. I felt like I was leaving him with someone who loved him as much as me. He came home tired and happy. We can’t wait until next time”
“Leaving your dog with someone else is never easy, but Jef made the whole experience stress-free. He looked after Chicco as if he were his own, with lots of backyard playtime, and a calm, relaxed approach that immediately put me at ease. I came home to a content dog and wouldn't hesitate to book with Jef again. Highly recommended!”
“Our dog had a great time at Pablo’s for the day! She was so sleepy when she got home from a fun day of activity and socializing. Pablo sent pictures and videos throughout the day to keep us updated.”

Arnav was absolutely incredible with my dog Hugo! He kept me updated throughout the day, took Hugo on walks, and made sure he got plenty of playtime and attention. It was so reassuring knowing Hugo was in such great hands and having the best time. Highly recommend Arnav and judging by how excited Hugo was, he definitely can’t wait to come back!
Luna had an amazing time with Connie! She was well cared for, and provided lots of photos and updates. Luna can be a nervous girl, but Connie took the time and attention to make her feel comfortable! We got a photo of Luna asking for belly rubs, so I know she was very happy. Thanks Connie!!
Mariia was awesome! Our little girl was instantly comfortable with her. She came back home and slept- I’m sure she had such a great time. Mariia send us photos and updates in between- I really appreciated that! This was my pups first time with a sitter and we can’t wait to go back again :) (also super friendly- she adjusted our drop off and pick up times so kindly)
Linara and Ramazan were absolutely wonderful with Loki. They were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive throughout his stay. They kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Loki was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would gladly trust them with him again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet sitters.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in East York on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 4,515 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in East York. About 89% of East York 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 East York 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:
- 79% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 86% 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.
