“Anna & Aleksei has been really helpful and attentive to all my pet’s needs. She was consistent in giving updates and making sure that Chico’s having a great time in their company. I would highly recommend them to my friends and everyone looking to look after their beloved pets.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Walelign. Mimi was very well cared for, and we truly appreciated the constant communication, we always received quick and thoughtful updates whenever we reached out. Mimi came back calm and happy, which means a lot to us. She is usually quite anxious around new people, but she didn’t show any signs of stress this time and didn’t cry at all. It was clear she felt safe and comfortable. Walelign truly went above and beyond, and we are very grateful. We would absolutely trust him again and feel confident leaving Mimi in his care. Thank you so much!”
“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.”
“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!”
About: My partner and I have had lots of past experience with taking care of dogs! We have both had labrador retrievers, shepherds, Alaskan Malamute, border collies etc. We currently have an eight month old labrador/husky that we rescued when she was 9 weeks old. She is currently training to be a service dog but still has some puppy brain and enjoys playing with other dogs!! We have trained her in many domains and she currently knows: sit, stay, down, back up, waiting at doors, paw, high five, spin, around, crate, support, hug, off, leave it, and are working on much more. We would be happy to help train your puppy/dog if you are currently working on anything! I am currently in school so I am available to watch your dogs during the weekday and most weekends. Our schedule during the week and weekends would be potty breaks every 0-2 hours. During the work week we are happy to walk your dogs anytime during the day :) We have a partially fenced yard and our dog goes on a long tie to ensure she stays safe! She is crate and house trained and usually stays in her crate throughout our work days to ensure she is safe as she still likes to chew on wires! Our puppy and your dogs safety is our number 1 priority :)
“Daniel was so great watching my little guy Harvey! He really took the time to learn about Harvey’s walk schedule, what some of his favourite games are and you could tell he just really loves dogs!”
“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.”
About: I have taken care of many different types of cats and dogs over the years and can't wait to meet more. I provide high-end care for any pets in the Kingston area! For pets coming over to my home for care, I have one female golden, Sia, who gets along well with all animals. I work part-time at Queen's University during the evenings and always have all daytimes free for whatever you or your pet has in mind for that day! I have strong safety senses and always come prepared with all the crucial first aid equipment and pet tools that could be needed in any situation. I also have the back of my car setup for pets, should yours need to be transported somewhere.
“Pamesha did an awesome job watching my little guy Harvey. It was my first time leaving him with someone he doesn’t know and Pamesha definitely put my mind at ease the minute I met her and saw how she interacted with Harvey. And bonus! She tuckered him out so much that he took a nap the minute we got home!”
About: I will take care of your pet as if it's mine, and I'm doing it just because i love then but can't have mine at this time. I have had my own cats and dog and I know them well. Thank you for trusting me, i will do my best to make you and your pet happy. I am a graduate student and my schedule is completely flexible during the summer. I just need to know 1 day in advance so i can plan my day. I am living in a relatively big apartment with an unfenced yard. Pets allowed everywhere and on bed. I don't have other pets, and I will be here until October.
About: 10 years plus experience with dogs. I teach commands. Better behaviours and socialization with other dogs. Your pets will be tired out and full of love in my care. I will send pictures and updates through my entire time with your babies. My apartment has a dog park right in the back of the building! I’m currently working part time so have plenty of time for your beautiful fur babies. There will be routine as I work from home and am able to leave the desk. I only work a few hours a day. Long walks and amazing socialization with all the other dogs in the home. I Will get your dogs to face their fears. I’m so excited to watch your fur babies
“Our dogs were with Heather for the day, they came home happy and tired. They had an amazing day. We would definitely have our dogs stay with Heather again. She gave us updates ( photos and videos) and her sweet dog Elphie was a great playmate. Thank you thank you Heather for welcoming and taking care of Archie and Delilah.”
“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 would love to take care of your pets, I’m responsible and I’m obsessed with taking care of them, so they are in good hands. Im available full time since I quit my job 3 months ago and I would like to do this as a full time job. The best job! The pets would be inside unless they have to pee or poo (for dogs haha) for cats I clean the litter of my cats daily and I’m very careful with what they eat or if they need something.
About: I love cuddles and spending time with the dogs in my company. When looking after friend's dogs, I have helped with training good behaviour on walks, and I'm happy to enforce the norms and rules your dog is used to. I have the benefit of having a flexible day so I can pay attention to your pet when they need it. My home is fairly low energy and I hope to provide a calm and loving refuge for your pet while you are away. Unfortunately I do not board cats to keep my home allergy friendly, but I will happily take care of and give love and affection to cats on drop in visits. :) I owned a free roam rabbit for 3 years, and I have a thorough understanding of their unique needs and body language. I also love taking videos to send along for your reassurance. Let's have a conversation so I can be the best sitter for your needs! I'm a freelance artist who is currently home the majority of the time! I can happily plan my days around your pet's schedule and needs, and I love the ability to fit more walks in my day and get outside. Boarding: I do not own any other pets, and I do not currently allow sitting pets from multiple homes at once. For boarding - your dog will for the most part have free roam of my apartment, and good potty training is expected. I would not recommend very plant-curious dogs to board at my home. Coming to your home: I always maintain a base line of respect and privacy when coming to your home. My focus is your pet and their well-being and nothing else. I ensure to abide by your norms such as removing shoes, and keeping away from private areas of your home unless required. I can check on other things in your home to ensure there's no upturned trash, water leaks, or other issues while you're away. If there are any messes in your home, I am more than happy to take care of them with your direction and using your cleaning products.
“They were amazing! We got photo and video updates throughout the day of how our puppy was doing! He had so much fun playing with new friends and came home exhausted! We loved it so much we became regular clients!”
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.
“Murphy was a happy, sleepy boy after a full day of romping around with Tucker and the rest of the pack. Thanks Lisa, we’ll be coming back to you for another weekend visit soon!”
“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!”
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kingston
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!
Was so happy to leave my dog with pamesha and her husband. It’s the first time using rover and leaving are dog with someone she doesn’t know. Write away I could tell pamesha and her husband really love animals. Are dog came back supper happy and we had love update photos trough out the day. Best dog sitters in Kingston
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 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 76 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Kingston. About 92% 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.
