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.
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.
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.
“Ovie has a great time with Manuel, Maricris, Venus and Kira. They are very communicative, and ask lots of questions to ensure all of Ovie's needs are met/exceeded. We will definitely continue daycare with them!”
About: My first ever job was in a cattery / kennel when I was 16 years old. I have always had cats and dogs in my family, and I am frequently looking after friends and families pets when they go away. I will treat your pets like they are family. I am currently readily available to look after your furry babies and would love to spend my time with your pets, whatever sort of service you are looking for :) I have a very large yard area at my home, there is no fence so I will need to keep the dogs on a leash but they will love the space. I have a small home so can only look after small / medium dogs but I am perfectly comfortable with having dogs on my furniture including the bed. I love taking dogs out for walks so we will have so much fun together.

“You can tell that Chetan loves animals, especially dogs. I was nervous about leaving my new puppy for a couple days, but Chetan was great. He left me videos, gave me updates and answered all my questions in a timely manner. I will be using him on a regular basis! Thank you Chetan for taking such good care of Chocco!”
“Henry had a great first stay with Britt and was definitely tired when we brought him home after playing all day. Good updates throughout the stay and felt very comfortable leaving our little guy in her hands”
“Cooper had such a great time with Alison! He was a very tired pup when he got home! She provided updates throughout the day and was very responsive to any questions. We will definitely be using her again when we need a dog sitter! ?”
“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!”
“Sapphire loves going to Claudia’s. She has gotten to know Claudia and that makes it easier for me to leave her for the day. She enjoys playing with the other dogs.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Akhila took really good care of Spotch. She was sending updates, pictures and videos all the time. Also having her dogs, Harry and Mily, really added to the 5-star stay that Spotch has.”
“Zelda was incredible with our girl Mabel for weekly daycare! Shes a puppy and she was super patient with her puppy attitude and cared for her like she was her own. Mabel was always super excited for drop off as she knew she was going to have a day of playing and cuddles! Zelda’s super knowledgeable about frenchies having four of her own so it was the perfect place for our girl where she could be silly in a pack of her own. We’re super sad we had to move as Zelda is no longer close as she truly was the best person for us and Mabel. We are definitely keeping her in mind for overnight stays if we ever need it in the future as well!”

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.
