“Ethan is absolutely amazing. He is incredibly approachable and flexible with scheduling. He kept me updated with photos of Dami throughout the stay, and in every picture, Dami looked happy and at ease. Dami and I are already looking forward to visiting him again!”

About: Hi Per Owners! I’m a passionate animal lover who has experience taking care of all kinds of pets growing up. From hamsters, to fish, to reptiles, to cats and dogs I’ve either had them or taken care of them for an extended period of time. Currently I have an 9 and a half year old Russian blue and would love to watch your pets when you’re away or have them join us for walks and play seshes! I work from home almost every day during the week and I have flexible lunch breaks or just breaks in general. When I’m not travelling I’m always around town or chilling at home. I have a big balcony and there’s a shaded dog playground and a pet spa in my building. There are lots of dog parks and parks around me to go for walks and I have lots of toys to play with your dogs at home. I also have a crate if you would like me to crate train your puppy.
“Jacky and Rocio were amazing with my puppy Joy. They kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. My puppy was well taken care of, and had so much fun with Abby :)”
“As always thank you Louise and Jeffrey for your efforts of making Bozley feel safe. Bozley is an anxious dog and it comforts me to know he is well cared for and loved.”

“Alina took great care of Mickey and sent lots of updates throughout the day! They went on lots of walks and Mickey had a blast. Thanks for taking such great care of Mickey, Alina! ☺️”
“Joanne was great with my boys! They loved her and took to her almost immediately. She constantly updated me with how they were doing and sent photos and made me feel comfortable that the boys were in good hands and doing well! I could tell upon picking them up from her, that they had a great day with her :) Thanks Joanne!!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and Lucia made it a wonderful experience and alleviated all our worries about leaving our dog with someone else for the first time. She treated our dog with love, care, and kindness, and was great at communicating throughout the day. We did a daycare session in preparation for a longer boarding session and our dog clearly enjoyed his time with Lucia and her dog Benjie. Benjie is a very calm and loving dog and he made it easier for our dog to adjust. We’re glad we found Lucia and lucky this was our first experience with Rover. We will be leaving our dog with Lucia for boarding and we’re excited for all the fun he will have!”
“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”
“5 star! 5 star! I got so many videos of Barnaby. They followed my instructions exactly. Barnaby seemed to of had so much fun. He came home soo exhausted, which is exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be reaching out again.”

“Chong & Bo are a very welcoming and organized couple. Luna was comforable at their home and had lots of fun! She slept like a baby when she came home 😄 we would definitely love her to go back!”
“My dog didn’t really want to come back. He was sad for a good amount of time after coming back home 😂 He loved the play time with Baltej! Thank you, Baltej for such an early morning accommodation.”
“We are super happy that we found Crizaline and Mark. Our dog loves staying with them for day care. They super responsible, responsive, follow all the recommendations and provide pictures.”

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!
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.

There are 4,483 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:
- 78% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 86% 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.
