“Our dog took to Peter right away! Steeler had a blast playing with Peter’s dog and we were entirely comfortable with Peter’s care for a day. He was flexible and responsive too. No hesitations to recommend his services.”
“Pamesha was great with Patches again (this was her second time watching Patches). I would highly recommend her if you are looking for dog sitting. She took her on regular walks, posted regular photos, and played with Patches.”
“Harvey had the best time with Daniel! He was so attentive, kind and he definitely tuckered him out with all the adventures they had! I also appreciated all the updates and photos, I could tell my little guy was having the best time!”
About: RELIABLE AND CARING PET SERVICES: I have 6+ years of veterinary assistant experience and 2+ years of safety-focused dog-walking from volunteering at the local humane society. I love dogs of any size or breed, and have experience with cats and most farm animals, as well. I would love to help with any kind of pet care you may require! I have extensive experience with administering medications and monitoring conditions, so I would be comfortable caring for older, sick, or special needs’ dogs, as well as dogs of any kind of temperament. I am familiar with basic training concepts and able to reinforce current practices to help meet goals while in my care. My family dog, Finn, is a very high-energy Irish Setter, so I can also accommodate and enjoy spending time with dogs of all energy levels! I am comfortable and happy providing 2+ hours of outdoor exercise in hiking environments (on-leash) if you are comfortable with me transporting your pet in my SUV vehicle. My compressed work schedule allows plenty of time for attentive pet- and house-sitting to keep your furry family members happy and entertained - please see my ongoing availability! I am able to follow all preferred pet owner protocols diligently. I am aware of the importance of safe food and substance storage, as well as monitoring for normal bodily functions and detecting common signs of distress which may require medical attention.
“Had a wonderful experience with Heather!! She kept me in the loop about my puppy and was very warm and kind. My dog came home happy and calm. Will definitely take her back :)”
“Excellent A+++ doggy daycare experience!!! Sadie was very friendly in all our interactions, communicated well and responded to all my inquires promptly. Sadie has a very kind and gentle energy. The photos and updates I received were much appreciated. Joey was very comfortable and enjoyed her time with Sadie. This was evident by Joey's refusal to leave with me at pick up time! Joey came home happy, well-cared for and good-tired from a well-spent day with Sadie. I am definitely booking Sadie again!!! Thank you Sadie!!!”
“I booked Rose for my dog Luna and the experience overall was smooth and easy. Communication was friendly, scheduling was simple, and I appreciated the updates during the day. Luna came home happy and tired, which is always a good sign! Thank you for taking good care of her.”
About: For over 3 decades, I have been providing high quality care to extended fur family, as well as to those of our friends and neighbors who have been generous enough to lend me some of their pets' time. From big dogs to small dogs, young dogs to old dogs, our single-family detached home and fully fenced yard is sure to provide a warm and comfortable environment for your well-natured, and good-with-kids pup. I work from home 3 weekdays days out of 5, and can come home for lunch on those 2 days where I have to be in the office to let your pup out and provide food and water. Long walks, lots of fetch, and plenty of pictures are in store if you choose to trust our family with your fur babies. We have one family dog already, a 5-year old pug named George, who has shown himself to be very good with other dogs, both big and small. We take long walks around the neighborhood, stopping to say high to other dogs and their owners. We also occasionnaly go to the dog park Kingston East, or sometimes further afield for beach days or hikes on local trails or conservation areas. Our pug naturally sleeps on the bed with us (we couldn't stop him if we tried), so we'db be delighted to extend your dog the same courtesy. They'd become a part of the family.
About: Heyy! I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I’m especially experienced with reactive and separation anxiety dogs. I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and comfort level, so I always take the time to make them feel safe and cared for. I genuinely love hosting and caring for animals, and I’d be excited to give your pet the same attention, patience, and care I would give my own. I’m currently a university student with only 1–4 hours of classes per day during the week, and Mondays are completely free. Outside of class and on weekends, I’m usually home with plenty of time to care for your pets. I have lots of time and energy for pups, including walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping them company. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I keep my home very clean and organized and have quality pet supplies to make pets feel comfortable. For daycare and boarding, I can care for pets in my home or yours. My home has a spacious, private bedroom that can be used as a safe and comfortable space for your pet when they need quiet time or rest. I’m also very attentive to cleanliness and will regularly clean up after pets to keep their environment fresh and hygienic. For house sitting, I’m flexible and can potentially stay at your home full-time depending on your needs and preferences.
“Ana was very friendly, polite and knew exactly how to take care of my Chico. Definitely recommend her to anyone who need to leave their furbabies either for a few hours or a few days.”
“Kirti was a friendly and warm caretaker who was good to Hannah. Hannah, being a shy doggie, loved her instantly, so I had no worries about entrusting her to Kirti. She also responded to my messages very quickly. Thank you so much, Kirti!”
“Walelign was great! He was incredibly responsive and flexible with our scheduling for both pick up and drop off. Winston returned a very happy content dog- I’m sure he enjoyed his walks and company that Walelign provided. The “daycare” service enabled us to enjoy a full graduation day while knowing Winston was being well cared for at the same time. Thank you Walelign!”
About: We have a quiet, orderly home with regular routines. Our last dog lived to be 16 years old and needed quite intensive care in the last year. We live in a quiet neighbourhood and are happy to take your pet to the dog park nearby or the Lemoine Point walking trail. I have few daily commitments outside of the home and am seldom gone for more than an hour or two. An anxious or timid dog would do well in my care. I believe in plenty of walks and playtime with favourite toys. I’m also happy to let them cuddle with me as much as they want.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. I also fostered a court-rescue dog through the SPCA for over a year, giving me valuable experience with anxious and nervous pets. I’m experienced with rescue dogs, puppies, senior pets, and multi-pet households. I have a calm, pet-friendly cat at home and a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play. Since I work from home, pets in my care receive plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and a consistent routine. Friends and neighbours regularly trust me with their pets because I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love what I do. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. 🐾❤️ I work from home, so your pet will enjoy plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, dog walks, and drop-in visits. In my home, your dog will enjoy a secure environment with a fully fenced grass yard for safe outdoor play and fresh air. Since I have a resident cat who is very laid back, I primarily welcome guest dogs who are already comfortable and friendly with feline companions. Because I am currently based at home, I can offer constant supervision and a consistent routine that mirrors your pet's life at home. Whether I am boarding a dog or visiting a cat for a drop-in, I focus on personalized care, ensuring they are well-exercised, fed on schedule, and given plenty of attention. My background with rescue animals means I am highly observant of body language, so I’m always making sure every pet feels relaxed and at ease, whether we’re relaxing in the garden or out for a walk.
“Ricci has been great with Tony. She's taken care of him a few times now, and he comes back nice and pooped – the sign of a good stay! She has been sensitive to Tony's needs and my training methods, and he's been happy to go back each time.”
About: I currently walk and watch my friends dog. It is a pleasure I always look forward to and to spend time with him. I do not have a dog at the moment but I used to before he passed. Growing up we had cats in our household. I mostly enjoy taking dogs out for walks, playing with them and spending time with them. I enjoy being around animals, it makes my day that much better! I am full of energy myself so I am able to match that of your pets! Getting your dogs energy out, I can do that! I am new to this program but not new to taking care of dogs and cats. I am very enthusiastic about this program and want to help others out. Working from home I have the flexibility to fit in primarily dog walking throughout the day. That also gets me out and off the the computer for a break! I will listen to the clients needs and wants and provide the care for their pet that they want. I am here to help out.

Kirti and her husband were super flexible with our changing agenda which was very appreciative. Our dog quickly warmed up to them and made herself feel at home. Typically she does go on walks or eat the first day of care however she did both . This is a sign that she was given the attention she needed and felt very comfortable with them. Thank you!
Walelign was great! He was incredibly responsive and flexible with our scheduling for both pick up and drop off. Winston returned a very happy content dog- I’m sure he enjoyed his walks and company that Walelign provided. The “daycare” service enabled us to enjoy a full graduation day while knowing Winston was being well cared for at the same time. Thank you Walelign!
Mazi took great care of June during her stay. Since June has separation anxiety, leaving her with someone new can be stressful, but he was patient, understanding, and accommodating of her needs. He was responsive whenever I checked in and flexible with my schedule, which I really appreciated. Most importantly, June came home happy and well cared for. I would happily book with Mazi again and recommend him to others looking for a reliable pet sitter.
She was phenomenal with my babies. Gave the kitties space to feel comfortable, and loved on my friendly pup from the start. She kept me updated, and asked questions without spamming me at work. She took the job with 2 days notice and was incredibly understanding when I was running late. I cannot suggest Katherine enough.
Harvey always has the best time with Graham and Laura! Even though it was raining off and on when they watched him, they still took him out for a walk so he could get some fresh air and exercise! They also send great updates and pics, which I really appreciate!
I can’t say enough good things about Sadie. My bichon is usually very shy and takes a long time to warm up to new people, but she was so patient, and kind that he quickly felt at ease. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she treated him with the same love and care as if he were her own dog. I came to pick up a happy, relaxed pup, which says it all. I highly recommend Sadie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and very caring sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Kingston on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 74 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Kingston. About 96% of Kingston 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 Kingston 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.
