About: Hi! I provide a safe, clean, and loving home environment for dogs in Richmond Hill. I live in a spacious detached house with plenty of indoor room to relax and play, along with safe outdoor areas for supervised breaks. I focus on creating a calm, stress-free experience for each dog, with lots of attention, care, and companionship. I take a limited number of dogs at a time to make sure each one feels comfortable and well cared for. Regular potty breaks and short walks are included, and longer walks are available upon request. I also provide updates with photos so you can feel confident your dog is happy and safe. I mainly care for friendly small to medium dogs and aim to provide a home-like environment rather than a crowded kennel setting. Since I work from home, dogs are always supervised and not left alone for extended periods. I am available for daycare from morning to evening. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home environment in a spacious detached house, with fenced yard. Dogs have plenty of indoor space to relax and move comfortably, along with supervised outdoor time for fresh air and regular potty breaks. I take only a limited number of dogs at a time to ensure each one receives enough attention and care.
“Xinbei made sure that Tobi was comfortable during his stay and provided us with updates and photos. She responds promptly and asks questions to ensure that she really knew and understood Tobi’s schedule and personality. He had a lot of fun and is excited to come back!”
“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.”

About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and have owned three dogs of my own over the years. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've helped look after many dogs in my neighbourhood and always enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality. In fact, I'm probably guilty of knowing most of my neighbours by their dogs' names first! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I'll make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, care, and affection while you're away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the week. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so dog walks fit naturally into my daily routine. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I can easily incorporate pet care into my day and ensure each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner so I can provide consistent care. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or a client's home, I ensure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and a safe environment. I also believe in regular communication and am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well looked after while they're away.
About: I offer the kind of reliability that only comes from decades of pet ownership. Having had dogs and cats in my life since childhood, I am well-versed in everything from meticulous litter box maintenance to recognizing the subtle signs of a dog’s body language. My wife and I provide a true 'home away from home' where your pet will receive constant companionship and genuine affection. We aren't just watching your pet; we are welcoming them into our home. I have a very pet-friendly routine! I am home for the vast majority of the day, only stepping out for about 2–3 hours at most. This means plenty of potty breaks, backyard playtime, and companionship for your dog or cat. My wife is also home in the evenings, so there is almost always someone around to provide cuddles and keep an eye on our furry guests. In our home, safety and exercise go hand-in-hand. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, sniff, and play under my direct supervision. I never leave guest pets unattended outdoors, ensuring they are always secure while getting their fresh air and exercise. Inside, our home is pet-proofed and calm. Because I am home for the vast majority of the day, your pet is under nearly constant supervision. When I do step out for a quick 2–3 hour window, pets are kept in a secure, comfortable area to ensure they stay safe and relaxed. We treat every guest with the same care and caution we’ve given our own pets for decades.
About: Having a Shih Tzu for 15 years taught me just how much joy comes from finding what each dog loves most. Puppies usually want to play and explore everything, so I like to keep things active with games of fetch, tug of war, or walks where they can sniff around and discover new things. For adult dogs in their routine, I try to match their energy, whether that means a good long walk or some backyard playtime. And having helped care for senior dogs, I know how much they appreciate slower walks, gentle affection, and quiet time cuddled up together. Whatever stage of life a dog is in, my goal is to give them the kind of attention and companionship that makes them feel truly at home, just like my own dog always did with me. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a commute. I'm available for walks, feeding, playtime, and company throughout the day, not just mornings and evenings. I care for pets both in my own home and at clients' homes, depending on the service. My home has a fully fenced yard, so dogs have safe space to play and explore off-leash. Whether I'm hosting or visiting, I follow the pet parent's routine closely — same food schedule, same walk times, same house rules — so the pet feels comfortable and nothing feels out of the ordinary while you're away.
“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.”
About: My experience includes caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have attended various canine behavior and training workshops, and I am certified in Canine First Aid. I'm available on boarding all week-end. All my time is for your dog, to play with, walk, and take care of it. I can provide the necessary attention, care, and patience to any dog of any age or with any difficulty. The house is big enough to comfortably accommodate your dog and the back yard is safe. I am with your dog all the time so I can keep an eye on him. I am also first aid certified so if anything happens I can help immediately.
“Dehui was able to accommodate my husky Apollo for a last minute doggy daycare and was wonderful. Sent many updates and took good care of him while he was there. Will book again!”
“Our dog, Nala, seemed to be very conformable with Monica and her cute dog. Monica was very easy to communicate with and prepared well to have Nala over. She made Nala feel at home by following the same routine as we usual do with great love and care. She certainly went above and beyond what was expected! She also sent us a lot of pictures to keep us updated on how she was doing throughout the day. We had a very good experience and appreciate her very much!”
“We were visiting the Toronto area and left Ollie, our parti yorkie, in the care of Lisa for the day. Ollie was well taken care of, and had other pups to play with as well. We would use Lisa again, if we return in the future.”
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Richmond Hill is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Hill
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.
We are so happy we found Lucy! She took such wonderful care of Nikki today and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout the day, which we really appreciated. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Nikki was. She followed Lucy everywhere, and it was clear from the photos that she was having a great time! Lucy is so caring and wonderful with Nikki, and we feel completely at ease knowing Nikki is in such good hands. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!
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.
Xinbei made sure that Tobi was comfortable during his stay and provided us with updates and photos. She responds promptly and asks questions to ensure that she really knew and understood Tobi’s schedule and personality. He had a lot of fun and is excited to come back!
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

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
- 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.
