“Nairy is so kind and caring we’re so grateful we found her we will definitely rebook with her again. She took wonderful care of our Nina. Very attentive, reliable , and kept us updated throughout the day. Nina had an amazing time. Amazing first experience, excellent communication, smooth pickup/drop off, we cannot recommend her enough! Thank you so much Nairy ?”
“Anna was great with Cooper! She was super communicative, sent lots of photo updates, and was able to accommodate his separation anxiety. We’ve already booked another stay 😊”
“Nicole is amazing with our mini golden doodle Cody. We have used her dog sitting service 3 times so far and Cody now runs up the stairs to her home! Knowing your pup is happy and in caring and knowledgeable hands is such a load off your mind. We will definitely continue to go to Nicole - 5 stars!”
About: We are at pet-loving family, with a large fenced in yard and flexible work-from home schedules, ready to help you with your dog boarding needs. We have two senior cats (who keep to themselves) and a rescue pup Finn who is almost 3! As a husband-and-wife team, we have both had pets our entire lives, and have been caring for our own pets together for over 12 years. We also have Red Cross Pet First Aid certification. Dogs who come to stay with us will have freedom to roam our house if it suits them, or they can use our crate. We go on several walks a day and have a large fenced yard for play. We also provide pet treats (if allowed). If we are coming to your house to provide cat visits and care, we will scoop the litter, freshen water and food, and play with your feline friend. If your cat likes to be brushed, we will also do that. Ask us any questions you need, or even come by our home to check us out before committing. Coffee (and maybe a cookie) included. We are a husband and wife team who both have flexible work-from-home schedules (and both of our offices are a short drive away). We love out pets, we're active and love going for walks, and our beautiful large fenced yard is a dog's dream. In our home, we welcome client's dogs to wander freely, unless our client has a crate routine. We do have a large crate that our guests are welcome to use while here. We walk our own dog 3-4 times a day, and also have several free-run sessions in our fenced yard with plenty of toys. NIght times, we wind down with some TV and lots of pets and cuddles before letting our dog and our guests settle where they feel comfortable (even if it's our bed). We have two mature teenage daughters who are a great help as well.
“Roxy and hunter were amazing with Tito. Hunter kept Tito busy while Roxy kept us updated on how happy and settled Tito was every 3-4 hours. She was also very accommodative of my updated schedule as well. Thanks to her we could spend our day worry free. I would definitely recommend her for everyone.”
“I would like to thank Monica for making Milo so comfortable in her home, she asked me questions in how to make him comfortable..prior to me taking him over. Wonderful experience, will definitely use Monica again💕”
“Fantastic. Guys, thank you so much! My boy had a lovely day out and came back tired, but happy and really at peace. They know how to look after your baby and everything, right from the location to the facilities make it ideal. I was also a bit of a pain as I was late in coming back (sorry guys) but they were very accommodating. Again, thanks guys!! Look forward to many more…”
“Our 2 beagles had a wonderful time with Navnee! They were so well cared for and they enjoyed the long walks and play time. I highly recommend Navnee and would love to have our boys over with them again!”
“Perpetual did an amazing job watching over our puppy! She communicated throughout the day and often sent us pictures and updates. The booking process was very easy with Perpetual. Will 100% contact her again for future dog sitting.”
“Chrissy was wonderful with my Percy. She was very caring, gave lots of hugs and cuddles, took good care of him and she even made a delicious meal for my little Chihuahua. Percy was very happy when I picked him up. THANK YOU CHRISSY!”
“Radhika was the best possible sitter for Foxy! As a first time user of Rover, I booked a sitting with her less than 2 hours before the start of the sitting. Despite my extremely short notice, Radhika was happy to watch over Foxy. And when we were running late, Radhika enthusiastically allowed us to pick her up 1 hour later. And then when we got stuck in traffic, she reassured us that we didn’t need to rush. We ended up being an additional 30 minutes late, and she kindly offered to feed Foxy since it was getting close to her dinner time. Throughout all these inconveniences, Radhika was always exceedingly patient and understanding and we cannot thank her enough for that! We got consistent photos and videos while we were away that showed Foxy being perfectly comfortable and content hanging out with Radhika and her dog, Coco! Radhika kept consistent communication and ensured that all of Foxy’s needs and wants were met! We will not hesitate at all ask Radhika to watch over Foxy in the future! I recommend Radhika 100% if you ever want your fur baby to be taken care of like they are her own!”
About: I have had dogs sinced 2010. Currently we have a 15 year old husky who is still quite playful outside but spends most of the day sleeping due to advanced age. We are used to frequent walks and don't mind loud singers 😁 I have Sundays and Mondays off and my husband only works part-time from home so someone is home most of the time and we are pretty flexible. I have a fenced backyard, a human- and dog-friendly Husky to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if you prefer. We have a home where they will be comfortable. We can send you pictures daily so you know your baby is safe.
“Tara and her husband did a wonderful job taking Benji for the day. It was our first time leaving Benji with a dog sitter, and Tara kept me up to date through the day so I knew he was settling in well. Benji came home tired and happy. Thank you!”
About: I've had pets all my life, I love them as part of my family! At the moment me and the kiddos have 2 dogs and a puppy, all rescues, that we love! I am currently working part time and my schedule is flexible. Im available before or after work or anytime nights, on my days off or weekends! I have a genuine love for pets (have 2 cats and a puppy myself) so I know how important it is to have peace of mind and that they are taken care of when we are away. Will try my very best

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Etobicoke
Navnee was fantastic! She was so attentive, flexible and had my dog’s best interest as her top priority. My dog has separation anxiety and she really went above and beyond to make him feel at home which allowed him to settle and feel less anxious! Great experience!
Fozzie Bear had a wonderful time with Nairy and Joseph! They were so attentive to his needs and wanted to make sure he was comfortable, which from what I saw he went with Joseph on a walk right away and had no issues. They sent us lots of videos and pictures on the day of and were so careful with Fozzie’s overall care. Beyond grateful and would absolutely recommend them anytime!
This is the third time we've trusted her with Polo, and once again she went above and beyond. This time was especially difficult because Polo is currently injured and waiting for surgery, so he needed extra attention, comfort, and a lot of patience. She took amazing care of him, kept him calm, made sure he rested, and gave him so much love. She even sat with him and comforted him when he was uncomfortable. Knowing he was in such caring hands gave us so much peace of mind during a stressful time. We are incredibly grateful for everything she does for Polo. He absolutely loves staying with her, and we couldn't recommend her more highly. Thank you so much for treating him like family! ❤️
Alessia and her partner took great care of my dog and gave updates throughout the day. Snickers seemed really comfortable and happy with them. I was also late picking him up, and Alessia was very understanding and patient about it, which I really appreciated. Overall it was a great experience and I’d definitely trust them to watch Snickers again. Thanks again for taking such good care of him!
We’ve had a few visits with Cindy and Michael and Goose always comes home happy and totally wiped out. Cindy sends updates and pictures throughout the day, which we really appreciate, and Goose loves having Jack to hang out with while he’s there. We’re so glad we found them and are looking forward to many more visits!
I can’t recommend Naomi enough! She looked after my dog Rexx during my work trip to Toronto and went above and beyond in every way. She was so flexible with my unpredictable schedule, which gave me so much peace of mind. What really impressed me was how well she educated herself on Rexx’s routine and specific needs—she truly cared about making sure he felt comfortable and happy. Throughout the day, I received thoughtful updates and photos, which made me feel like I was right there with him. To top it off, Rexx and her dog Kratos became the best of friends—it was the sweetest thing to see! If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, reliable, and genuinely loves animals, Naomi is the absolute best. Rexx and I will definitely be booking with her again!

There are 4,635 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Etobicoke. About 89% of Etobicoke 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 Etobicoke 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:
- 80% 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.
