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.
“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: 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.
“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!”
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.
“Magnolia has been an amazing dog sitter for our 1-year-old bichpoo, Cali. She truly cares for Cali and keeps us updated throughout the day with frequent messages. Her dog Leo is super friendly, and the two of them even nap together! Cali always comes home happy and well rested. Highly recommend!”
“Josie had a great fun with Serdar. Serdar sent video and pictures while he was watching Josie and took her out for walks and to dog park all in four hours that he had Josie. I would definitely leave Josie with Serdar again recommend him for your fur babies! 🤗”
“We had another amazing doggy daycare today with Marcelo and his family!!! Mazie had so much fun with Kenji and the other dogs and was so excited when we dropped her off at the start of the day. She is always well taken care of and loved when she is at Marcelo’s. We are sure that Mazie will love her week-long stay with Marcelo in April when we go away on holiday. It is so comforting to know that she will be taken care of so well while we are away!!! Thank you!!!”
“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!”

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.
“Yuk Yi is very detail orientated and careful with taking care of our little one, and we really appreciated her sending the photo updates to us to let us know how our maltese girl is doing, her location near Yonge and Finch is very convenient, and drop-off and pickup was very smooth and effortless. Her condo was very clean and organized as well, which provides peace of mind for us that the environment in which our little one would be cared for is a clean and safe one. Thank you Yuk Yi and we will book again!”

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 $37.45 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 4,479 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
- 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.
