“We were especially grateful that she was willing to go beyond the scheduled time to take care of our dog. Her flexibility, kindness, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind. We truly appreciate her going the extra mile and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. 👍😊”

“I left my dog Chai with Xiangwen for doggy daycare and she was so amazing. Chai recently had her spay surgery so I needed someone to watch her very attentively and Xiangwen did an amazing job at that. I was very grateful that Xiangwen sent multiple videos and photos of Chai to keep me updated as I’m a very anxious person. When I picked Chai up she was in a good mood and very happy so I know she loved her stay. Overall, I would highly recommend Xiangwen and would definitely book with her again!”

“First time leaving my pup with Liz and had a great experience! I reached out last minute and she was accommodating and willing to take him the next day. Liz sent photos and kept me updated on his progress, he looked like he had a great time there. Will definitely come back again, thank you!”

“Tofu enjoyed his time at daycare at Xintian’s house. She and her family were warm and it seems like they treated Tofu like he was apart of their family! Thanks for looking after him! Will rebook again.”


“Having previously worked in commercial dog daycares myself, and seeing the chaos that happens there, I was super nervous about finding a place for Jules to stay while I go into the office. I am really happy to have found Bernice & Mark to look after Jules! They were very understanding and accommodating of Jules’ quirks and were happy to continue the positive reinforcement I use with him at home. I received updates throughout the day with pictures and he was even calm enough to settle and have a nap! Which is a big deal - Jules is usually too overstimulated in new environments to settle, so seeing him so relaxed assured me that I had made the right choice in Bernice & Mark.”

“Carmen was incredible caring with ice! We needed last minute day care for him, and he was recovering from a leg injury as well. Carmen was so understanding, responsive and thoughtful with Ice - it gave us peace of mind the whole time he was with her. Will definitely consider Carmen for any future Pet care!!”

“I was so happy with Kelly's approach to my very anxious and shy dog, Doug. I have been looking for an overnight solution for Doug for when we go away - and I've found her to be too anxious in big camp environments. I thought I'd try out a dog daycare day with Kelly to see how Doug would do. Kelly was really generous with her time. We had an initial phone call, where I provided a bunch of background information on Doug. It was clear from that phone call that Kelly just really understands dogs. She took the time to find a day in her schedule that had a few dogs that would be a good fit for Doug without being overwhelming. On the day of daycare, Kelly took time to allow Doug to meet all the dogs. When Doug was still a little anxious during the day, Kelly took her on a walk to help her feel a little less anxious. She also played ball with Doug to help her warm up. (Doug is relentless with ball, so I'm sure it was a bit relentless for Kelly..:) It was amazing to see how all the dogs just listen to Kelly - with her calm and gentle approach. I'll book more daycare with Kelly and will for sure have Doug stay with her the next time we go away. Thanks Kelly!”

“Viviann is absolutely amazing. She took excellent care of Muffin oirvtoy poodle. She sent regular updates with pictures and videos. We are extremely happy with her service. Viviann thank you so much.”

“We are so grateful that we found Emily and Ling to watch Ollie last minute as our original sitter cancelled on us last minute. They sent updated videos, pictures and keep us update about Ollie. My dog took a little time to warm up to them but eventually settled in and was very relaxed afterwards. Ollie would definitely be a returning customer.”

About: My husband and I are passionate dog lovers and have been caring for pets of all sizes for over 5 years. We truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are in our care. We have a 3-year-old Golden Retriever who is very friendly and loves being around both dogs and people. He is well-socialized and enjoys having furry friends around. We train him at home and have worked on basic obedience, manners, and good behavior. We understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and needs. We are happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule, including walks, playtime, feeding routines, and plenty of love and attention. Our goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you peace of mind while you’re away. My husband and I both work from home, which gives us a flexible schedule and allows us to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. We are able to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. We have a dog-friendly home where dogs are welcome to roam freely and feel comfortable rather than being kept in a separate room or confined for long periods. Our own Golden Retriever is part of our family and enjoys having other dogs around. Because we work from home, we can provide companionship throughout the day and keep a close eye on your pet. We are happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel relaxed, safe, and at home while staying with us. We treat every pet like a member of our family. Since my husband and I both work from home, your pet will have plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. Dogs are welcome to roam freely around our home and relax wherever they feel comfortable. We follow each pet’s individual routine for meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. We also provide plenty of love, cuddles, and supervised playtime, especially with our friendly 3-year-old Golden Retriever. Our home is a calm, loving, and pet-friendly environment, and we always make your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness our priority.
“Claire is great. I was very nervous about leaving my puppy with anyone but she was so gentle with him. She also sent me updates during the day along with pictures and a video. I am very happy I chose Claire and would highly recommend her.”

“Samantha took great care of my pup. She gave him lots of attention and sent lots of photos to let me know he was doing well. She also asked lots of good questions which reassured me she would look after his needs.”

About: I have taken care of different dogs for a long time. Many friends who lived in my neighborhood have asked me to walk their pets. My wife and I are both working from home full time and thus we both have full time's worth of schedule available for taking care of my own and other's pets. I have a roomy house and a fenced backyard, as well as a friendly dog of my own to ensure your dog is safe and happy.
About: 🐾 Animal Experience I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, including dogs and cats. In my home country, I was actively involved in rescuing and caring for animals in need, helping them recover, rehabilitate, and find safety and comfort again. Through this experience, I have learned how to handle animals with different temperaments, ages, and emotional needs, from shy and anxious pets to very active and social ones. I developed a strong sense of patience, observation, and calm energy when working with animals. This long-term experience has given me the ability to quickly understand each pet’s behavior and respond in a way that makes them feel safe, respected, and cared for. As I am home full-time, I can adapt my daily routine to each dog's individual needs, providing constant companionship, supervision, and personalized care throughout their stay. Mornings: We start the day with a safe, supervised walk around the neighborhood, followed by breakfast and some time to settle in comfortably. During the day: I stay home throughout the day, so dogs are never left alone for long periods. They enjoy supervised playtime in our fully fenced private backyard, along with plenty of indoor companionship, relaxation, and personalized attention. I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for according to their usual routine. Afternoons and evenings: We go for a second walk to help them burn energy and maintain a balanced routine. Afterward, they can relax and enjoy family time indoors. I also send daily photo and video updates so owners can stay connected and have peace of mind while they are away. My Home & Care Policy To provide a safe, calm, and stress-free environment, I only accept dogs. My home features a fully fenced private backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time under supervision. We are a quiet, family-oriented household with a smoke-free and alcohol-free environment. My husband is a veterinarian, which reflects our family's love and respect for animals; however, I am the primary caregiver and personally responsible for the daily care and attention of every dog in my home. My goal is for every guest to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and truly at home during their stay. 🐾❤️ 🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment The safety and well-being of every pet is my top priority. I provide a calm, structured, and closely supervised environment where pets are never left unattended and always feel protected and cared for. Trust is built through consistency, patience, and attention to detail. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, routines, and comfort levels so they feel secure and relaxed during their stay. I also offer a clean, smoke-free, and environmentally friendly home with access to a private fenced green yard and nearby parks. This allows pets to enjoy fresh air, nature, and safe outdoor stimulation in a controlled and responsible way. My goal is to create a peaceful balance between safety, trust, and a healthy environment where pets can feel at home, calm, and happy.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Markham
Teddy had a nice first day with Jin. She was very accommodating and took great care of him. I really appreciated how reassuring she was, especially since I was anxious about leaving him, and she sent lots of pictures throughout the day. Teddy seemed happy and had fun with the other dogs. I also really liked all the safety gates and how secure the space felt. We’re very happy with his first stay, and Teddy will definitely be back to stay with Jin!

We are very happy with the care Priyank provided for our kid Caesar. Priyank took excellent care of Caesar, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after throughout the stay. We truly appreciated the attention, patience, and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Caesar seemed relaxed and happy afterward, which says a lot. Thank you, Priyank, for treating Caesar with such care and kindness. Highly recommended!

Carmen was incredible caring with ice! We needed last minute day care for him, and he was recovering from a leg injury as well. Carmen was so understanding, responsive and thoughtful with Ice - it gave us peace of mind the whole time he was with her. Will definitely consider Carmen for any future Pet care!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Markham on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 4,202 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Markham. About 89% of Markham 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 Markham 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:
- 81% 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.
