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.
“Hands down the best service ever! This was our first time sending Maui, our 8 month old goldendoodle to a dog sitter and we wanted him to have a good experience. Alma went above and beyond! ?Her love for animals is immense and you can actually see that. Maui absolutely loved his first day of doggy care. Alma sent me updates throughout the day which was amazing. We knew he was in good hands! Maui is so excited to see Alma again ✨ So happy to have found Alma through Rover ?✨”

“It is always difficult to find someone to trust with the care of your precious cargo but as soon as we met Claudia on our meet and greet, I knew she would take wonderful care of my Stella. Our first day at doggy daycare was a success from the welcoming drop off, to the texts and photos throughout the day, to the happy pick up time, I was thrilled that Stella had a good day and that I had found a reliable pet sitter in the area. I highly recommend Claudia and her services to care for your fur babies.”

I’m patient, caring, dependable, and I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. I’m excited to meet some new furry friends and give them all the belly rubs, walks, cuddles, and attention they deserve! 🐶🐾 I’m a stay home mom, so I’m always home with your pets to give them the attention and care they may need! I am flexible and often outdoors I have a spacious fenced in yard, detached house and 2 friendly dogs to tire your dogs out! I have experience with lots of dog breeds, and I provide a calm, loving, and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for.

He gets so excited when I say doggy daycare and runs right to her when I drop him off and doesn't even look back at me when I go lol! He seems to really enjoy playing with Yuanyuan's dog and young children, and is always a very happy boy when I pick him up! : )”

About: Hi! I’m Alison — mom, animal lover, professional cleaner/organizer, and the person who will always, without exception, hit the floor when I meet an animal. 😂 You know how people sometimes say, “Sorry, I’m a little obsessed with my animals”? My response is usually, “OH! Don’t be silly — if anyone gets animal obsessed, it’s me.” And then I’m probably sitting on your floor asking your dog if they’ve always had those ears, telling your cat how handsome they are, or making friends with whatever weird little creature happens to live in your house. My own house is basically a small, slightly chaotic animal sanctuary. I currently have 1 dog, 2 cats, 2 rats, 3 fish tanks, and a free-roaming bunny. I don’t really live alone. I just pay the mortgage. 😂 I’ve always loved animals, but I’m also the kind of person who gets genuinely invested in their care. I’ve been making my own pet food for the past couple of years, and I love learning about their routines, personalities, and all the funny little things that make them them. Good pet care isn’t just food, water and a quick hello — it’s making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely enjoyed while you’re away. I’m a mom too, so I know your pets aren’t “just pets.” They’re family, and leaving them with someone is a big deal. During the day, I also work with Fairy Helpful, a local cleaning and home-support business. Which means I’m pretty comfortable walking into real homes and real life — no judgment, ever. My motto there is basically: “Don’t apologize for the mess. It’s loved and lived in.” I feel the exact same way about animals. Fur on the couch? Signs of a good life. Toys everywhere? Excellent. An animal who wants to show me their entire personality within five minutes? Perfect. I’m already on the floor. And if you need both pet care and a little help around the house, we can bundle services too. Happy pets, a little Fairy Helpful magic, and one less thing on your plate. Ask me about bundled rates! I’m easygoing, flexible, communicative, and — most importantly — I genuinely love doing this. So whether your pet is a perfectly behaved angel, a tiny menace, a professional couch potato, or a wonderfully weird little creature… I’m probably going to love them. 🐾❤️ My schedule is pretty flexible, which is one of the reasons pet care fits so naturally into my life. I work with Fairy Helpful during the week, but I build my pet-care bookings around my cleaning schedule and availability. I’m happy to work with different routines and schedules, whether you need a quick drop-in, a walk, or someone to keep your pets company while you’re away. I’ll always communicate clearly about timing and make sure your pet gets the attention and care we agreed on. Your home is your space, and your pets are your family — I don’t take either lightly. I’m respectful, careful, and very comfortable working in other people’s homes. I follow your instructions, stick to your pets’ routines, and pay attention to the little things that matter to them. I’m also a big believer in no judgment. Messy house? Totally fine. Nervous pet? We’ll take our time. Weird routine? Tell me everything. 😂 My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable and cared for, and for you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Norfolk County is $30 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $56 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 125 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Norfolk County. About 82% of Norfolk County 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.
Help your dog become familiar with the day-care environment before their first full day. Arrange a Meet & Greet so they can visit the sitter’s home, meet the sitter and any resident pets, and explore the space while you are there. This can make the environment feel more familiar and help you and the sitter confirm that the setup is right for your dog.
Pack anything you and the sitter have agreed your dog will need, such as:
- Their usual food and approved treats, with feeding instructions
- Medication, with clear dosage instructions, if needed
- Their collar or harness and other walking equipment
- Familiar comfort items, such as a blanket or favourite toy
- Any seasonal gear they may need
On the day of the booking, keep your dog’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including their usual meal, toilet break, and some light exercise. Keep drop-off calm and brief, which may help make the transition easier.
If your dog is shy, nervous, or needs more time to adjust to unfamiliar places, ask whether a shorter introductory stay is possible before their first full day.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. Every sitter on Rover has their own routine and some may offer flexible activities suited for your dog. 94% of sitters in your city can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays.
These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
