“Josey was absolutely incredible with our dog — we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that her home is a true little paradise for dogs: warm, welcoming, and perfectly set up for them to feel safe and happy. Highly recommend!”
“Bill & Tracy took care of my 10 month old Cockapoo Charlie. They gave updates on what he was doing. He was wiped when I picked him up. I will be using your services again!”
“Ashley has been an amazing help! Several times she has been available for a last minute booking which has really helped us out. Our dog gets very excited as soon as we pull up to her street and comes home so tired, we get a bonus relaxing evening off as he doesn’t ask for his typical “after dinner” walk. Thanks so much, looking forward to Ben’s next stay!”
About: Over 30 years of dog ownership and care. I am a retired Pharmacy Technician so I have lots of experience with medications and administration. Large property for exercise. Indoor area for playtime. We’ll treat your furry friend like we do our own, showering them with love, cuddles, and treats while following your dog’s specific diet requirements. I’m a retired pharmacy technician, so I’m very familiar with medications and administration. My husband works nights, so there’s always someone here to have naps with. We have over 10 acres of land, including about 8 acres of bush with walking paths. There’s a fully fenced dog run attached to the house for bathroom breaks. We have a large room dedicated to indoor play and rest, and a large, cleared outdoor area for playing fetch and water activities when the weather is nice. There’s plenty of shade for relaxing on hot days. We’ve always dreamed of running a boarding kennel or daycare. As dog owners for over 30 years, we’ve mostly had more than one dog at a time. Years ago, we even had a litter of eight Labs! Currently, we have three dogs: Jenny, a retriever mix female we helped rehome when she was 10 months old; Oscar, our 8-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog; and Maverick, our 4-year-old Red Retriever. We also have our grand puppy, Cooper, a 4-year-old Basset Hound, who lives in an attached apartment with our son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. Cooper is with us when his parents work. All dogs are welcome on the furniture and beds. We’re non-smokers and have elderly parents, one in a wheelchair, living with us. We also have a new baby in an attached apartment.
“Our Winston loves Chetan and his farm. It’s a blessing to have him available in our area. There is lots of room for him to run and plenty of stimulation. He comes home tired and content. A 5 star experience”
“Amazing!! She did so much with them, constantly sent photo’s and videos of what they were doing and the dogs were having a blast! I would highly recommend! Great with the dogs and an all around great person!”
“Our first choice for our pup whenever we are in the area. Dalia and her husband are both wonderful and have shown so much love and care for our dog Nova. Thank you so much!”
“Britt took care of our 9 month old Shih Tzu today and Coco loved it there. She had playmates and came home happy and tired! We would highly recommend Britt for your fur baby!”
“This was our first time booking through Rover and with Claudia. We have a trip coming up in January and needed care for our Border Collie. Today was our first daycare day and Raven loved it!!! Claudia sent me messages and videos throughout the day, which was really sweet. She’s so nice, and you can tell she truly loves the dogs and what she does. We’re looking forward to booking more daycare days and having her watch Raven while we’re on our trip. Thank you so much, Claudia!! ♥️♥️♥️”
About: I would love to give my attention and care to your pet, so while your away you know they are getting all the love and care they deserve!! I have been a pet owner for many years as well as fostering. I have an open schedule which I can work with to accommodate your timeline. If you need anything extra, just ask! I will always try to make things work. I live on a farm, free from kids and other dogs. If I was giving the opportunity, I would make sure your dog would have the best experience possible!!
“As it was Malcolm first time we were a little worried but Princy and Maui made him feel right at home. The updates with pictures put a smile on our faces and Malcolm will definitely be seeing them soon!”
About: Great with dogs! I’m patient, playful, and reliable, with experience in basic training, socializing, and creating safe routines. Can be a good friend for them Since I work full-time from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available for walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day! We create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment, free of hazards and full of love. We follow each dog’s routine closely—meals, walks and play. We keep pets secure, never leave them unattended outdoors, and provide constant supervision and affection. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always our top priorities.
About: I’m a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter with over 20 years of fostering experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Through fostering, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience supporting pets with different needs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra patience and care. I also have experience caring for diabetic dogs, including following feeding schedules, monitoring behavior, and administering routine care as instructed. I understand how important consistency and attentiveness are when caring for pets with medical needs, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to maintain their regular routines so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication support, or simply companionship, I provide calm, reliable, and loving care. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to clear communication, so you can expect regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing a safe, nurturing, and stress-free pet sitting experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home, which allows me to be present, attentive, and flexible throughout the day. Because I’m home, I can provide regular potty breaks, timely meals, walks, medication support, and plenty of companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I structure my schedule around the pets in my care, making sure their routines are followed closely and their individual needs are met. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, quiet rest, or extra monitoring for pets with medical needs, I’m able to give them consistent attention and supervision. Working from home allows me to be reliable, responsive, and adaptable, ensuring pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for as part of my everyday routine. I provide attentive, personalized care whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. In my home, pets have access to a large yard and a secure, fenced-in dog run, giving them plenty of safe space for exercise, play, and fresh air. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure pets are comfortable, engaged, and safe. Inside, pets are treated like part of my family. I follow each pet’s regular routine for feeding, walks, medications, and rest to help them feel at home and reduce stress. I provide plenty of affection, enrichment, and calm companionship throughout the day. I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely. I make sure pets receive the same level of attention, consistency, and love they’re used to, including maintaining their normal schedules and providing updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and comfortable environment where pets feel secure and cared for—just as if they were my own.
“She is wonderful! Liam loved her right away during the meet and greet. From the very first sitting, she went above and beyond. She was supposed to walk Liam and leave him at our house while we were away, but after receiving the hurricane amber alert, she immediately went to check on him and offered to take him to her home. We’re very happy to have found someone we can truly count on in town.”
“Jessica was amazing. She took care if my senior boy really well, she gave me timely updates on how he was doing. My boy has extreme separation anxiety and Jess was able to comfort him and provide him a secured environment. I am very happy with her service. She will be my first preference when I need a sitter in the future.”
About: I grew up on a farm with every kind of animal, which gave me a lifelong love and natural comfort around pets. From an early age, I learned the importance of daily care, routine, patience, and responsibility. I lead an active lifestyle and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors, making me a great companion for dogs who enjoy walks, exercise, and playtime. As I work from home, I am also able to provide consistent companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Reliable, warm, and genuinely passionate about animals, I take pride in treating every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I am retired and have a flexible schedule. I genuinely love having animals around throughout the day. I truly enjoy the companionship, warmth, and joy that pets bring into a home, and I understand how important it is for them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Having grown up around animals, caring for pets has always come naturally to me. From energetic dogs who love adventure and exercise to cats who prefer gentle companionship and quiet comfort, I take pride in creating a warm, loving environment where pets feel happy, settled, and truly at home. Because I am home throughout the day, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, affection, and supervision - whether that means walks, playtime, cuddle breaks, feeding routines, outdoor time, or simply having a calm and caring presence nearby. I am attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, ensuring they feel relaxed, secure, and cared for as if they were part of our own family.

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 Norfolk County 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.
