“This was our first time with Amandeep looking after our fur baby. She was terrific, confident and took good care of him. He has anxiety but when I picked him up it was clear he had a good day and came home happy and content. Thank you so much Amandeep for taking such good care of our little fellow. We will definitely be booking with you again and I know our Harley will be happy to see you and your family again. We would most certainly recommend Amandeep if you are looking for a sitter. Once again Amandeep thank you so much.”
About: I have taken care of pets for the last 40 years; from dogs, bunnies and cats to birds and crested gekos; beautiful little stories can be written. I enjoy pet sitting because it is an opportunity for me to interact, observ and appreciate what the world of animals brings to my own world. Animals are special, kind and loving; because I bring gentleness and a safe place for them when their owners are not with them, makes me feel useful and appreciated. My friends and neighbors know that I absolutely love and respect all animals and they know they can drop off their furry friends at our place when they leave for the weekend or for lengthier vacations. I know how to feed them, give them meds, play with them, wash and groom them, and most importantly I know how to respect and care for them! Pets are welcome in my home; they can be young or seniors, playful or quiet and they should not be suffering of a contagious health condition that can impact other pets or humans. I need to know from you if they need medical attention so I can keep them safe upon your return. I am doing consulting , sales and marketing; I work remote and I am able to arrange face to face meetings only when time permits References are available upon request from owners that trusted me over the years, to take care of their puppies , young or senior pets at my place or at their place. Animals are extraordinary creatures, I respect them, I treat them as part of the family therefore I do the best I can to create an harmonious and safe environment for them,

About: Welcome I have a lifelong passion for animals and truly enjoy caring for them as it comes naturally to me. I would be thrilled for the opportunity to care for your precious pet and make them feel loved, safe and happy while under my care. I’m home full-time in Oakville / Maple Grove area and would be delighted to host your beloved dog as if they were my own. My doggie guests always enjoy their time here — they feel and enjoy the personal attention in a relaxed home setting. Daily walks by the lake are a highlight and many are never eager to leave — that’s the honest truth! Your dog will enjoy a XL secured fenced yard — perfect for outdoor playtime and fun in the fresh air! We take daily walks along the scenic Edgemere Lakefront Path, just five minutes from my home, as well as relaxing strolls through my quiet neighborhood. I also offer Leash Free Dog Park excursions at your request. My home is a crate-free accommodation, allowing each guest to feel completely comfortable and at ease — whether that means curling up on the couch by my side or even snuggled with me at bedtime. If your dog prefers a crate, please feel free to bring one along — I’ll make sure they feel right at home, however they’re happiest. I’ve had the joy of hosting dogs in my pet-friendly home for many years and take great pride in meeting each dog’s individual needs. I welcome breeds from small to large, who are non-aggressive and thrive in a loving, calm, home-like environment. Meet & Greets are recommended to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable and happy in my care. In the past, I’ve also led committees and organized fundraising events (Cause for Paws) in support of our local Humane Society — a cause that’s very close to my heart.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakville
Lola spent the day with Hark, her dog Bailey and another dog friend. Hark sent us photos throughout the day and kept us up to date on how her first day went. Lola is sensitive and it can take her time to trust but from the photos we received she looked like she was the centre of attention and she loved it. We are very happy with our first day and are looking to book Hark for our upcoming vacation.
They go above and beyond for my puppy. She was not feeling well today and they were extra attentive to her needs. They give her fun long walks as well keep in touch and give updates in a timely manner. I am very grateful for their service. See you next time!
Sharon and her family were warm , kind and welcoming . They have a lovely calm presence that our dog sensed right away. Sharon provided timely and clear communication. Sharon sent pictures to ensure we were comfortable and had a good sense of how our dog was doing. Our dog got along well with their dog . We would definitely recommend Sharon to watch over your dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Oakville on Rover is $43.29 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 4,555 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Oakville. About 88% of Oakville 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 Oakville 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:
- 80% 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.
