“Lucy was wonderful with Luna. She kept me updated, made sure Luna had her meals, water breaks, potty breaks and a nice walk. As a first daycare experience, Luna seemed comfortable and well cared for. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”
“I found Otto to have appeared content with his stay with Elaheh, and no sign of concern that he had been unhappy to stay with her. The price on this stay was extremely competitive for this area. We had initially thought that there was a delay/lack of communication but later I started realizing that either she or we were slightly confused about the rover apps. I would not hesitate to ask her to care for Otto if I needed care in this area again.”
“Xinbei is amazing! She always makes Ollie feel relaxed and at home, and she is very accommodating. We always feel comfortable leaving Ollie with her as we can trust that he’ll be well taken care of!”
“I just want to say a big thank you to David for taking care of Niki today. He kept me updated all the time, sent me messages, and even took Niki outside for a walk. I felt so comfortable and relaxed knowing Niki was with him. I really appreciate his help and I highly recommend him!”
“Jonathan and Karen are good people i can trust. He took my dog walking more than I do and my dog seemed he really enjoyed his stay at Jonathan’s. Thank you for taking care of him like family.”
“Ruby spent the day with Allen recently and she came home tired and relaxed. Which are good signs. I appreciated the photos he sent during the day to update me. Ruby hopes to be back here again soon. 🐾”
About: I currently care for 3 cats at home, and I always go the extra mile to ensure they are healthy, happy, and emotionally cared for. I pay close attention to their routines, diet, and behaviour changes. While I mainly care for cats, I’m patient and detail-oriented, which helps me understand and meet the needs of different pets, including senior cats or pets that require special attention. My home is designed to be a safe and comfortable space for pets to relax and have fun. I’m a recent graduate, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust my time to suit your needs. Just let me know your preferred schedule, and I’ll do my best to accommodate it. At home, I always make sure the environment is clean, safe, and enriching for pets. I monitor their health closely, keep their living space tidy, and ensure they have enough room to play and explore. I also provide fresh water, healthy meals, and spend quality time interacting with them. If I’m visiting a client’s home, I will follow their routines carefully and make sure their pets feel comfortable and stress-free.
About: 🐾 Service available in English & Cantonese (廣東話) Hi! I’m Katrina. I live with my family and our sweet 7 year old Bichon Frise, Tofu. My family and I have spent the past seven years raising Tofu and caring for dogs belonging to our friends and family, and I’d love to welcome your dog into our home too. My mom is home full-time, so your dog will have lots of companionship, attention, and care throughout the day. We live in a quiet neighbourhood with a large, fully fenced backyard, and we only host one family’s dog(s) at a time to provide a calm, personalized experience. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your dog happiest and most comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in good hands. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, and my mom is home full-time, so there’s almost always someone home to keep your dog company. We are also home on weekends. We’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, and, most importantly, stick to the routine they’re used to. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We will ensure your dog’s regular routine is followed to make them comfortable away from home. Our home is clean, dog-friendly, and designed with your pup in mind. We have plenty of toys, cozy places to rest, and baby gates available if a dog needs their own space. We live in a quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood with a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play. Our home is shared with our 7-year-old Bichon Frise, Tofu, and because we don’t have young children and only host one family’s dog(s) at a time, we provide a calm, low-stress environment. You’ll also receive regular photo updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another great daycare stay for Puffy! She always comes home happy, relaxed, and tired from all the fun. Rene is caring, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. We’re grateful to have someone we can trust with Puffy. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience! My puppy came back happy, relaxed, and slept so well afterward which says a lot. We also loved receiving cute photo updates throughout the day. Communication was smooth and easy. Highly recommend!”
“Eddie was very kind and enthusiastic about looking after my dog Ruby. I appreciated meeting up before the daycare appointment to see how our two dogs interacted. Ruby came home happy and I believe she had a very good day with him. Thanks so much Eddie.”
“Lisa and Kam were great, they were able to accommodate on short notice (messaged Saturday night regarding daycare on Sunday). They sent photos and video updates during the day and Latte must have had so much fun as he was so tired when I picked him up. Thanks again!”
“Monica was phenomenal with Theo. She was very communicative prior, during and after Theo spent a whole day with her. I got many updates with cute photos of Theo during his stay. Monica’s dog Peppy is so cute and so good with other dogs. I highly recommend Monica if you need dog sitting/boarding. I was very confident about Theo staying there the whole time. I definitely will book more daycares with Monica in the near future!”

“It was the first time with Nooshing and she took care of Ella so well. She took her walk for more than 2hrs and play with her like her own dog. I feel so relieved that I find a place that I can trust. Thankful to her and I will recommend anyone who looking for reliable person”
About: Together, we bring over a decade of pet care experience - from caring for dogs to hamsters and parrots! We're proud parents to Doujiang, our sweet 8 year old Sheltie. Doujiang is very gentle and friendly, but usually keeps to herself around other dogs. This makes our home a wonderfully low-pressure environment, especially for shy, quiet, or sensitive guests! Whether your pet is high-energy, senior, shy, or needs a specialized routine, we can adapt to their comfort level. Since we both mostly work from home, your pet will rarely be left alone! Our schedule allows us to offer constant companionship, flexible potty breaks, and personalized attention throughout the day. Early risers or night owls? No problem, we easily align with whatever daily schedule your pet is used to at home. We treat every guest dog with the exact same love, safety, and care as our own. Our home environment is calm, secure, and adaptable. Because Doujiang is very non-confrontational and prefers to give other dogs their personal space, our home is ideal for dogs who get easily overwhelmed by overly pushy dogs. Whether your pup wants a quiet buddy to hang out near or completely separate space to relax, we can easily accommodate!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Hill
We’ve been trying to find the right pet sitter for a long time, and after searching and trying several options, I truly feel we’ve finally found the perfect one. It’s such a relief to know our pet is in such caring and trustworthy hands. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely be booking with them again.
Zsuzsanna was wonderful with our dog! She was very friendly, attentive, and took great care of him. Our dog came home happy, which made us feel very comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again! 🐶❤️
This was the first time we left our 8 month old dog with a sitter so we were a bit nervous. But after communicating with and meeting Nooshin we felt way more at ease and confident! She’s a wonderful person who is a genuine animal lover. She took really good care of our Koji and sent us video and pictures throughout his stay with her! I would highly recommend Nooshin and we will definitely be using her services again! So glad we found someone we can rely on and trust with our little guy Koji! Thanks so much Nooshin!! 🙏🏽❤️
I found Otto to have appeared content with his stay with Elaheh, and no sign of concern that he had been unhappy to stay with her. The price on this stay was extremely competitive for this area. We had initially thought that there was a delay/lack of communication but later I started realizing that either she or we were slightly confused about the rover apps. I would not hesitate to ask her to care for Otto if I needed care in this area again.
I met Tae through the Rover app when I was looking for daycare for my 10-month-old Cockapoo, Lola. From our very first interaction, I had a wonderful experience with both Tae and her husband. They were warm, respectful, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. When I arrived to drop Lola off, they were both waiting to welcome us with genuine excitement. They immediately made Lola feel comfortable and at ease, which gave me great peace of mind. Throughout her stay, Lola was well cared for, well fed, and even enjoyed a lovely long walk. Tae also kept me updated by sending photos of Lola having a wonderful time on her walk, which I truly appreciated. It was reassuring to see how happy and relaxed Lola was in their care. I highly recommend Tae to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and loving daycare for their puppy or dog. Knowing that Lola was safe, happy, and so well looked after meant everything to me. Thank you, Tae! We look forward to seeing you again. 🐾❤️
Irena was fantastic! I had zero stress leaving my dog with her because I know he was well cared for in a clean home. She doesn't take many dogs, so I know he is getting plenty of attention. I would highly recommend her and will certainly be bringing my dog back for daycare and boarding.
Thank you, Maria, for taking such great care of Coco. You kept us updated with photos throughout his stay, which was very reassuring and gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Coco was clearly very happy and comfortable with you, and it was wonderful to see how relaxed he was. We also really appreciated that you were able to give him his medication without any issues. Your care, attention, and communication were excellent, and we would not hesitate to book with you again. Highly recommended.
Raymond and Keyu took really great care of Onyx.🥰 they walked her, and their dog Juno got along really well with Onyx too. they even took some adorable photos of her and send it to me. im sure Onyx had a wonderful time at their place with Juno!🥰 i would definitely trust them to look after Onyx again in the future🥳
Absolutely wonderful experience! My dog is very shy, and Hau Man was incredibly kind and patient with her. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates, photos, and videos that really put me at ease. I felt confident Cookie was in great hands. Highly recommend!

There are 4,434 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Richmond Hill. About 89% of Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill 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.
