“We had a wonderful experience with Alysha! She asked thoughtful questions to ensure our puppy had a great stay, gave us a tour of her home and spacious backyard, and sent plenty of photos and videos throughout the day. Our puppy was in excellent hands, and I would absolutely book with her again! ❤️🐾”
“We’re so ecstatic we found Patricia. We took a liking to her immediately during our meet and greet. What sold me was her years of experience working with different behavioural dogs, she has her pet CPR/first aid training and she’s so kind and calm. We left Oscar at Patricia’s for about 10.5 hours, she would send us updates on their activities and a picture of our little guy. When we came back to pick him up, he was so happy and it appears he found a friend in Mila (Patricia’s dog), so cute. I knew we finally found our sitter - normally if it’s not a good fit, we could tell from Oscar’s anxiety level but this time when we picked him up he was just all jolly and playful.”
“Highly highly recommend, Satish took care of our Noah like his own. My boy is very very picky eater and had to be hand feed, he played with his fur friends and even got to dip his feet in a doggie pool. Satish provided numerous updates and videos. I felt so comfortable knowing that Noah was extremely happy and tired when we got home. We definitely found our 2nd home for Noah when we have to travel. Thank you Satish for looking after Noah and being extremely flexible with drop off and pick up. Jenn, Val & Noah ❣️”

Found myself having extra time and love to give. I am great with dogs and love going for walks I do not have any pets of my own. I have a fenced backyard but would prefer to go for longer walks in the neighborhood.
About: I had my own dog for 9 years and now look after my friends dogs when they need to travel and need a day of from dog parenting. I love it because it gets me outdoors which I love most spending time in nature with animals...animals give me comfort and a sense of happiness. I give them attention, talk to them like I talk to a child and show effection which in turn lets them trust me as a human.

We couldn’t be happier 😍 We’re so happy we found Albee and Christian and that Mini Cooper was so comfortable with then. He really looked like he has such a great experience. They took such great care of him and really paid attention to his needs, his meal, and overall well-being. They kept us posted with photos and we really did appreciate it! Thank you so much for caring for him! 💛 Bonus for us that they’re sooo near our place. 🥰
Jennifer was so accommodating and gracious for hosting our little boi! He was in very good spirits when we initially met and when we took him home. She provided us updates and photos and we really appreciated it. Thank you so much for taking good care of Mini Cooper for us ☺️

Thank you for taking good care of our boy!
Having Delia as our petsitter was great. She sent constant updates such as videos/photos and told us how they were doing. Knowing that our dogs were in good hands really put at us at ease, especially it was our first time using the Rover app. Not only that, but she is very friendly, patient, and kind! Overall, I can tell she truly cares for the dogs and just animals in general. Would 100% book again!
My dog Taro had another great visit with Amy! He is snoring away on the couch right now to show he had a fun filled day! Amy is a great sitter and highly recommended. Throughout the day, she provided updates and many pics to ensure Taro is having the best time! Can't wait to book again 🥰
We had a great experience with Yuxi Z. looking after our dog for a few hours. She was kind, attentive, and clearly comfortable with dogs. Our dog was happy and relaxed when we returned, which says it all. Communication was excellent, and we really appreciated the care and attention she gave during the visit. We’d happily book again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
Xinting and Xinyuan were the first day-care service I have used on Rover. They went above and beyond to make sure Lucy was taken care of, including multiple walks throughout the day, and regular updates with photos and videos. Their place is very neat and tidy, and Lucy made herself right at home. I will definitely be contacting them again in the future.
Satheeskumar took amazing care of our dog Mushu during his day care stay. He’s very friendly, clearly loves dogs, and made Mushu feel right at home. They were kind and accommodating with our late drop-off and pick-up since we were driving from far away. Wonderful pet stay — highly recommend! Mushu came back happy, tired, and well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Scarborough on Rover is $33.3 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 4,349 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Scarborough. About 89% of Scarborough 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 Scarborough 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.
