About: Since our 1st family dog as a child our house has always been filled with furry paws. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from small to large. I am a childcare provider who is working part time. I have lots of free time during the day to care for your special furry friend. I work part time so have lots of free time to get out and go for walks during the day in all types of weather. We will enjoy walks in the neighborhood, or sometimes go on the trails and hike or even beach walks. If you have more then 1 dog that's not a problem at all.
“Jeff is so lovely! He’s great with my dog Lyla and is a wonderful communicator. Jeff takes her for lots of little walks while she’s at daycare, sends lots of photos and updates, and Lyla always comes home super happy and tired from a day of playing. I recommend Jeff to anyone.”
“Agnes and her partner were fantastic dog sitters! We left our 1.5 year old poodle with them and their puppy and they did a thorough job keeping us updated while we were away for the day. They were very professional about every step and exceptional at communicating about drop off and pickup times. We will definitely use them again the next time we need dog sitting!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, as for right now I am travelling on and off and therefore cannot have my own furry friend. But in the meantime would love to go on walks and take care of yours! I have plenty of availability when I’m not travelling! When I’m not travelling or volunteering to help youth or other animal programs, I am doing this! When watching the pets taking them out, playing with them, allowing them to eat on time is very important. A healthy balance of everything is what they need!
“Felipe is a caring and kind dog lover who took care of our dog well. She is a picky eater and Felipe is so patient in feeding her! She got plenty of exercise and she looked so happy the whole time she was with Felipe!!! Recommended!!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Melanie 🐾 I have 9+ years experience training service dogs for an ADI-certified organization. I offer home-based daycare, boarding, and training in Welland. My services are a great fit for dogs who do best with structure, routine, and a little extra support. Good to know: ✨ Force-free, fear-free training ✨ Small groups & individualized care ✨ Fully insured ✨ Certified Canadian Pet Care Professional I often work with dogs who struggle with things like: ☑️ reactivity on walks, around other dogs, or in new environments ☑️ separation anxiety or difficulty being home alone ☑️ jumping, over-excited greetings ☑️ resource guarding or poor impulse control Your SCS crew consists of Tulo, our sweet and mellow black lab, a Great Dane Rudy, our giant party boy. We have two young children - 6 years old and 18 months old - who are learning about dog body language and respecting their space. 📸 I offer daily updates, personalized routines, and respectful, relationship-based care. 💌 Message me to learn more or schedule a meet & greet! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup 🐶 Pet care is fully woven into my daily life. I structure my day around the dogs, from morning walks and enrichment activities to playtime, rest, and evening snuggles. I provide a safe, supervised, and loving home environment where pets are treated like family. I use positive reinforcement, maintain routines, and ensure dogs feel secure, respected, and comfortable. I have experience working with dogs that have special behavioural or health needs. This includes dogs who are on a medication schedule, have epilepsy or other health concerns. I have worked with many dogs who need extra care and time to get comfortable with new people, dogs and environments at their own pace.
About: I have always loved dogs and taken care of them. I have a Maltese who is very active and loves to play. We have ample of space in our house to ensure your dog is comfortable. I work from home, so will be available daily to take care of your pet. I usually take my dog out to relieve himself every 3-4 hours. I have a yard and will ensure to take your pet for walks. We also have a dedicated room for my dog to play and your pet can share the room with him.
“Toktam was a loving, sensitive angel when it came to the way she took care of our little Puerto Rican rescue pup Maisie. Maisie is quite wary of new people, but to my delight and surprise, the second day we dropped her off Maisie smiled a doggie smile usually reserved for only three family members (me, my daughter and my husband) and happily rushed to Toktam's front yard gate to see her! Wow! That was a first. I have had really good experiences with Rover but this one was the absolute best because even though I am a worry wart and very protective of our sensitive, formerly traumatized little street dog Maisie, once I met Toktam, I was immediately comfortable, confident and relieved that she would be in the best of hands for her four days of daycare. Thank you Toktam!”
About: Hi my name is Aaron! I'm an Aussie who moved to Canada around two years ago. Enjoying the outdoors and wildlife living in Lake Louise; I met my wonderful partner where we decided to move to Niagara and closer to family. We both have a strong love for animals and knew this would be the perfect gig for us! I've been passionate about caring for animals my entire life. Growing up with dogs - specifically Boxers and an Alaskan Malamute - always ensuring they feel loved and secure. Over the years, I've developed many skills in pet care, including feeding routines, grooming, playtime, and recognizing signs of discomfort or illness. I'm experienced with both high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and independent pets who require a gentler approach. I understand just how special each fur baby is and we feel honoured anytime someone chooses to trust us with theirs! I currently have a part time job early morning but have the help of my partner in looking after your fur baby whenever I am out of the house! I have a fenced off back yard big enough for any dog to stretch its legs and get some fresh air. I also love getting outside and going for walks just as much as they do!
“We were visiting Niagara Falls with our dog, Ruby, and wanted a safe/fun place for her to stay while we explored the area. Holly was great! She sent updates throughout the day (which gave me peace of mind), and Ruby loved playing with her two dogs. The fenced yard was a big plus. Everything worked out perfectly, and we’d definitely reach out to Holly again if we’re back in the area.”
“Valerie was fantastic! We contacted her on short notice for day care for our pups while we were in town for the eclipse! She instantly made my pups feel welcome and comfortable in her home and took great care of them while we were out for a day of festivities. She sent lots of pictures, was extremely communicative, and was very accommodating/flexible with modifying drop off and pick up times at the last minute!”
“Meagan, you and your family did such an amazing job caring for my pup, Alfie! Meagan followed all of my requests and kept me updated throughout the whole entire visit according to my request. Their home is intentionally set up to accommodate caring for a dog, with areas gated for safety. Her daughter's are also extremely sweet and I appreciate that they spent time and playing with Alfie. They are clearly dog savvy kids and were very respectful of him and his needs. I don't even think Alfie knew I was gone 🙄😂 Thank you very much Meagan & family!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Port Colborne on Rover is $26.75 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 170 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Port Colborne. About 90% of Port Colborne 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 Port Colborne 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
