“Rocio and Jacky looked after my dachshund, Zaphy. They kept me updated during the day, sending me pics and a video of his day with them and their own little dog. I can see he had a great time and he was totally pooped when he came home. Would definitely recommend and won't hesitate to have them take care of my dog again! :)”
“This was my first experience booking a dog sitter for our Maltese Merida. Ethan was a fantastic choice. Merida is shy and a little nervous but from the first photos and video Ethan sent, I knew she had settled down and was quite comfortable with him, and that she would enjoy her stay. And it was clear from talking with Ethan when I picked up Merida that he enjoyed looking after her for us. Thank you so much Ethan, I will definitely book with you again.”
About: I have had & loved dogs since I was 6 years old. I grew up with Boston Terriers & now frequently visit my sister’s Boston. I have been walking my neighbors dog for her while she is in the office 3 times a week for the past 4 years. I love getting my steps in daily and love getting the doggos their steps as well! Whether it’s a walk by the lake or through your neighborhood, I love to care & walk all size dogs 🐕🦺🦮🐕🐩 If you think I’d make a good match for your fur child, shoot me a message & let’s get walking 😉 ** pack walks available I have a flexible schedule and lots of free time during the day, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. Whether your dog needs a walk, some playtime, or just a little extra attention, I’m happy to be there when you need it. 🐕 I treat every dog like my own. Safety, patience, and close attention are always my priority so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.🐶
“Elissa is a great sitter. She goes above and beyond to take care of your loved pet and make them feel at home. Drake had tons of fun playing, running around and finally having cuddles. He also went out safely during the terrible weather. I am very appreciative of the care and attention that was provided. Highly recommended ♥️”
About: I’m a fur-mom with over 25 years of pet experience. Having taken dog training basics, I am familiar with dog behaviour and communication. Your furbabies will be treated with the same love, care, and respect as my own. On my available days, I’m home with the furbabies all day. We spend our time taking walks, playing outside, napping, interacting, or giving cuddles. I have no doubt that they’ll have a Pawsome time with me and my gang and that your furbaby will be excited to come again! I work from home most days of the week, which allows me to be available for your furbabies on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On my unavailable days I also use Rover for pet care for my little Blossom. Blossom has many fur friends and knows the neighbourhood dogs well. I am lucky to not be working on weekends, so my Saturdays and Sundays are quite flexible. Furbaby activities include walks, play, park time, training challenges (with rewards), rest, snack time, and snuggles. Animals are able to access the fenced in yard upon request so bathroom schedules are very flexible. Fresh water is always accessible on any level of the house. I offer care in my own home. Animals are treated like family. I keep furbabies safe by using retractable pet gates to temporarily restrict areas of the homes, like when a delivery occurs, during meal times, or as friends get to know one another. I have a fenced in yard for getting business done, or for lazing and basking in the sun. Lots of animal safe toys and beds are available for play or rest, but I’ll be honest, I allow furbabies on the furniture as much as I do the people. Positive play and reinforcement is part of our daily routine and is geared toward the individual personality of the animal. Living with me is a middle-aged and tolerant short haired cat, and a shy but easy going Cavalier King Charles Spaniel of two years. I expect a meet and greet prior to confirming a booking to ensure personality fit and safety of all our friends.
“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.”

I walk my dog every morning from 7:30 am, as well as afternoon, and evening. Can easily accommodate your pet so that they can get outside. I have a large fully fenced in yard with no openings for animals to get out or get in. I’m home throughout the day so your pet will not be left alone.

“Stella is by far the absolute best sitter I have ever used on rover. She is so kind and caring for my little blind Benji and she loves him like family. If you ever decide that you will use Stella’s services rest assured that your fur baby will be in the best of hands.”
“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. ?”
“Thank you for taking care of our pup last minute! This is our first time booking through the app in Oakville since moving here a month ago. I received updates and photos. I could tell our pup felt comfortable and relaxed with Julietta and her partner. I would be happy to book more time with Julietta!”
“This is the second time Cenayda has cared for Genni and Cricket. My pups seem incredibly comfortable and happy while with her. They enthusiastically ran into her home. I'm very pleased with her 😊 care of my 2 little angels”
“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.”
“Seemal & Ameya were great with Pharaoh. They communicated regularly and sent photos which displayed Pharaoh was having a great time. This was a last minute booking and they were so accommodating. I will definetly use them again.”
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,

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 June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 4,540 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
- 88% 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.
