“Lucy was wonderful with Hiro. She was kind, attentive to his needs, and kept us updated throughout his stay. She was very gentle with him, and we could tell Hiro had such a great day in her care because he came home tired and slept like a baby. We would be happy to book with her again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“The moment we met Xinbei, she was very sweet and kind. My anxiety instantly vanished. She sent updates even through our short stays and kept us informed on how things were going. I highly recommend Xinbei without any hesitation.”
“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.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Max. David was very welcoming and let Max explore his home during the Meet and Greet. David kept us updated with pictures of Max and how Max was doing. We will definitely reach out to David again to take care of Max. Thanks so much for today.”
“Katrina and Nancy were wonderful and helped Poppy feel comfortable and safe during her day with them. They spent time with Poppy playing tug, going on walks, giving her a puzzle, and just relaxing on the couch. We appreciated their frequent updates, pictures, and videos! We would definitely contact Katrina and Nancy in the future to care for Poppy.”
“Jonathan was great with Suki on short notice. Really responsive and flexible. He sent us updates throughout the stay. We will definitely be using his services again in the future. Thanks for the help today!”
“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. 🐾”
“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!! 🙏🏽❤️”
“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 & Cam.took care of our Lola for 10 days, they were very helpful and flexible, they kept us posted on Lola's activities and she was happy playing with other doggies. We are very grateful for the good care they provided and will definitely use their services again in the near future.”
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!
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.
“Hau was very quick to respond and helped provide doggy daycare for Suki last minute! Suki was tired and had a lot of fun while she was over. Thanks for all your help! would recommend her to anyone to watch their puppies”
“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!”
“Rene and Sammy took such wonderful care of Puffy! 🐶 From the updates and photos, Puffy looked super chilled, relaxed, and completely at ease. That really gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. You can tell she felt comfortable and well cared for, which means everything to me. Thank you, Rene, for your kindness and attentiveness — and thank you, Sammy, for being such a great buddy to Puffy! We truly appreciate it and would absolutely book 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! 🐶❤️

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Richmond Hill on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
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.
