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’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!”

“Josey is wonderful! Very calm, caring, and confident with dogs, she definitely understands them well. And her backyard is a dream for any dog! Very happy with her care, and will be using her 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: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and spent many hours volunteering at shelters, fostering dogs and kittens, and even shadowing a vet as a teenager. I’ve trained puppies, cared for seniors, and have the experience and know-how to handle different pets but it’s the love and attention we give that really sets us apart. I work from home, so I’m with your pet all day, and we have a fully fenced yard plus daily walks. Our two friendly and adorable poodles love making new friends, and we can’t wait to welcome your pup into our family! Pet care is a big part of my daily life! I work from home, so I’m with pets throughout the day and can give them plenty of attention, playtime, and walks. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor fun, and our two small dogs love meeting and spending time with other dogs. I also do agility training with my one pup, so if your pup is energetic or loves learning new things, there’s plenty of mental and physical enrichment but if your dog just wants to relax and hang out, that's totally fine too. I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and at home! I have a fully fenced yard for playtime, plenty of indoor space to relax, and my two pups always enjoy having furry visitors around whether it means extra play time or just a pup to hang out with. If your dog needs some quiet time, I am happy to set up a crate or cozy spot. Since I work from home, I’m around all day for supervision, walks, and lots of love.

“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!! ♥️♥️♥️”
“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: As a dog owner for over 4 years, I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and providing a safe and loving environment. Caring for my own dog has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide pets with consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and potty breaks are already part of my routine, ensuring pets receive plenty of supervision and affection while in my care. Pets in my home are treated like part of the family. I live in a house with a secure fenced yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely run, play, and explore. I also have a friendly 4 year old golden retriever who enjoys companionship and can be a great playmate for social dogs.
“Mike was incredibly accommodating and accepted my last minute request for dogsitting. He was patient and kind with my greyhound who gets very nervous in new situations. I received frequent updates from Mike throughout my dog's stay, which helped put my mind at ease, especially since it was my dog's first time in a house with other dogs. He is a terrific sitter and I would happily book him again. Highly recommend!”
“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!”

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.
