“Ethan and his family turned out to be really great dog sitters for my Theo. He loves it there. They are very kind, caring thoughtful, sending lots of photos, videos and we’re very good at communicating. And I love that they only take care of small dogs which is better suited for Theo. They were even very understanding when we were stuck in traffic coming from downtown Toronto and arrived late to pick up Theo. Great people. I highly recommend them.”
“Jacky and Rocio shared lots of photos of Yogi during his day with them, which I really appreciated. Yogi looked like he was well taken care of and having a good time. I would bring Yogi back to them if I need care for him.”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of Ciela! We really appreciated everything you did and felt completely at ease knowing she was with you. We’d be happy to book with you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”
“Lihua and Haoshu are amazing care takers! Extremely friendly and very loving! They have a very loving home with 2 kids and 2 dogs and my shiba inu really enjoyed spending the day there. She was very tired when she came back home! They were also amazing with constant video updates”
“Millie LOVES spending time at Louise and Jeffrey’s! She is always happy when I pick her up and sleeps like a baby after spending the day there with all the walks and exercise she gets! Highly recommend this couple for doggy daycare!”
“Frankie really enjoyed his first time with Sharlaine and Trevor. He came home tired - a sign that he enjoyed his stay. Sharlaine and Trevor were very responsive in setting up the stay. They sent photos and some feedback that all was well. Pickup was easy and straight forward. We appreciated them accommodating an almost last-minute booking. We will not hesitate to ask Sharlaine and Trevor to take care of Frankie again.”
About: Hi! We're Tom and Tarryn, lifelong dog lovers, full-time remote workers, and passionate wildlife photographers. We’ve spent years observing animals through our lens, and that same calm, attentive energy goes into how we care for every dog we meet. Whether your pup needs long walks, playtime, or just a reliable companion while you’re away, we've got it covered. We're experienced with many breeds of dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors, and we treat each one with care and attention. Since we work from home, your dog will never be short on attention or company. We also love sharing photo updates, so you’ll always know your best friend is safe and happy. Let’s set up a meet and greet, we'd love to get to know you and your pup! We are fully remote with an extremely flexible schedule. We live in Westoak Trails, Oakville, so there are many great trails for walks. We have a fully fenced back yard and a 2k sq ft house with lots of room for play. We have a fully fenced back yard that we use for ball sessions every day. There are two cameras giving full view of the backyard which we can give access for the stay to help calm nerves. We are comfortable crating if needed. Water is always available, whether at home or on walks.
“Bonnie was great with Harley :) He has a lot of separation anxiety, but definitely felt comfortable with her and in her home. He got to walk, play, and nap and photo/text updates were very appreciated! Definitely will book again for our boy”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10, giving me over 16 years of hands-on experience with animals. I have two cats and a dog in my home country, I miss them soooo bad. So caring for your pet gives me a chance to share some of the love and affection I miss giving them every day. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s needs. When I’m caring for them, they’ll have my full attention and energy. I normally take dogs out at least twice a day—once in the morning after waking up and once after dinner. I’m also happy to adjust the routine based on your pet’s usual schedule and needs. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, calm, and comfortable space, with plenty of attention and supervised playtime. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and safe at all times, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.
“Jay has been more than accommodating to make my dog and me super comfortable and confident. His dogs are playful as are all family members. The yard and home are clean and tidy. Lots of communication through the day. I'm so pleased.”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on foster experience across all kinds of dogs (and kittens) and have a bachelor degree in animal sciences. In my family we say the bigger, the better - more to love! My dog, Mango (f, neutered) is incredibly friendly and always looking for a playmate, so your pup will have great company here. I also have cats at home, so dogs just need to be non-reactive to cats (they won't be bothered at all). Since I work from home, I'm around about 90% of the time, which means lots of attention, walks, and playtime. Honestly, for me this is just an excuse for more hugs and kisses: do realize your dog will be spoiled to the max! I work from home every day with very few meetings, so I'm around and available almost all the time. My only regular time away is about an hour for the gym, and I plan pet care around that so your dog is never left alone for long. I have an outdoor space for your dog to enjoy, and I use long lead cables so they can run around safely even without a fence. For dogs who'd love more room to roam off-leash, I also visit fenced dog parks nearby. I have a separate room available, but I prefer dogs stay close to me rather than sleeping alone at night, so your pup will always have company.
“Cenayda was absolutely amazing with Mango! She was so sweet, kind, and helpful the entire time. She kept me updated with lots of pictures, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear Mango felt comfortable and loved being with her. I could tell she truly cared for him like he was her own. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her ❤️”
“Pauline and Doug were absolutely wonderful. They accepted Dallas in Rapini into their home on such short notice. Honestly, I was nervous in the beginning but once I received pictures and I could see how happy everybody was. I would definitely use Pauline and Doug again and I’m so happy I found them! Thank you both so very much. ?”
“Portia was an awesome fit for Maple! She sent regular updates with pictures, video and descriptions of the activities they were doing when Maple was in her home for doggy day care. She was very understanding of the last minute request, and had no issues. 5 Star service!”

“It was such a pleasure having Meghna take care of Scotch! She kindly accommodated us at the last minute and went out of her way to make sure our fussy eater felt comfortable in a new environment. We were especially touched by the extra effort she put into making sure he ate well. So happy to know that Scotch was not only well looked after but also made a new friend in Fido! Thank you, Meghna, we truly appreciate your time and care. Highly recommend her services!”

Ariana was amazing with Mika! She was super kind, caring, and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me great peace of mind. Mika came home happy and clearly well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Ariana to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter, and I will definitely book with her again. Thanks again!
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!

There are 4,506 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Oakville. About 89% 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:
- 79% 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.
