“Great experience, Rita was very accommodating to our dog. Specially our dog is a rescue and needs some time to get to know the person. Rita made it easy and our dog has warmed up faster than we thought!”
“Diana was very loving with Harley, showing him lots of affection. My senior dog struggles with separation anxiety and she put him at ease. I look forward to Harley staying with Diana again and would recommend her to others looking for care!”
“She was amazing and I’ll always come to her if I need someone to take care of Maverick. She made sure my puppy who is 5 months was introduced to the other dogs slowly and comfortably. She sent me many updates, photos and videos. I had someone cancel on me last minute and she responds right away. I’m very happy and recommend her to anyone using this app! She also has a lot of availability, flexibility, a yard and ensures the puppies needs are being met. She made sure all my questions were answered and that I was confident to put Maverick in her care!”
About: I’ve always had dogs and have also fostered dogs of all ages, so I’m comfortable caring for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to accommodate those differences. I’m comfortable giving medications, following special feeding instructions, and maintaining your dog’s usual routine as much as possible. I’m home with the dogs throughout the day, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision. I offer both daytime care and overnight stays. I have a large fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, and I’m happy to take dogs for walks as well. I live on a quiet rural property with a large fenced-in yard and plenty of space to relax and play. I have two young children and one older dog who has previously lived happily with another dog and is accustomed to having other dogs around. I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so I’ll send regular photos and updates during their stay so you can see how your pup is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Hello and welcome! I am genuinely excited to open my home to pet parents who need a safe, loving, and reliable spot for their furry family members. With a formal background in veterinary office administration and a lifelong love for animals, I bring both professional knowledge and a gentle, attentive touch to every pet in my care. Pet care is a flexible and rewarding focus for me. Because I manage my independent commitments right from home, your furry family members will enjoy consistent company, supervision, and plenty of personalized attention throughout the day. With structured daytime hours and a calm home routine, every guest seamlessly integrates into a cozy, low-stress environment. My home is a cozy, smoke-free, and pet-friendly environment designed to give your pet a true 'home away from home' experience. It features a fully fenced backyard (approx. 700 sq ft, 4 to 5 feet tall) that backs safely onto neighbouring yards, making it an ideal setup for secure outdoor playtime, fresh air, and supervised sniffing sessions. Because I keep my environment intimate and calm, I limit overnight boarding to 1 dog at a time, and daytime care to a maximum of 2 dogs (7:00 AM – 6:00 PM), ensuring every guest receives personalized attention. Cat drop-in visits are also available to keep local feline friends happy and cared for in their own space!
“Shakira took such great care of my puppy! She gave tons of love, and kept me updated with cute pics. My pup was happy and well taken care of the whole time. When Bruce came home he was sweet and sleepy boy! Definitely will be coming back to Shakira for future dog care!”
“Kollin has been taking care of my pup Makwa for a while now, since day one he has made me feel extremely comfortable with leaving my baby in his care. He communicates with me about my pups day and always sends me video and photo updates. Would absolutely recommend Kollin to anyone looking for care for their fur babies, he is very knowledgeable and very understanding and without a doubt he cares for others fur babies as if they were his own.”
“Nayeli was amazing with our little fur baby. He had lots of fun and eat well. I will definitely be booking with Nayeli again. Nayeli provided pictures and updates of our little one. She is awesome”
“Felix had a great day with Jennifer's family! At our pre-booking visit I was immediately struck by Jennifer's warm and relaxed nature, and felt confident that Felix would be well cared for. She provides a wonderful service and was professional and flexible. She sent some photos during the visit as well. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Lama was a fantastic sitter, very communicative and kind with our Blue. He came back happy and calm ☺️ Whenever we are in London again we will have 0 hesitation to book with her again.”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we can’t be happier with Angela and Luis. They made me feel reassured with lots of pictures and updates throughout the day and I was happy to pick up a tired and happy puppy at the end of the day! They are so kind and understanding and I hope they’ll watch Henry again :)”
“Amazing!! I loved how many pictures and videos Alexandria sent me it was very comforting knowing Leo was happy! She is very communicative and extremely understanding as we were running late and she was great about that! Will be going to her again 100%. Also she kept Leo busy all day so he wasnt anxious.”
“My experience with Smita was amazing! We had a 13-year-old lab that was very well taken care of. I loved the updates and pics that Smita sent me. We will contact her again, for sure. 🧡🐶”
“I'm so happy I reached out to Sandra for daycare for my 9 month old herding pup, Buddy. She responded right away and asked all the right questions. I could tell right away she was a pro at reading dogs' body language and at kindly managing the behavioral issues we've been struggling with. She offered great advice and worked with him throughout his entire stay. He even trained at her side as she worked at the market which was an invaluable experience, especially for a nervous pup at his age. You can be confident leaving your pet with Sandra knowing they are in the best hands. I look forward to them spending more time together again soon.”
“Nash seemed to of loved the day he had with William. He took amazing care of our dog! Will definitely be booking with him again, 100% recommend booking with William in the future!”
“Marcia was absolutely wonderful with our 9 week old puppy. She gave him an at home feel and gave me piece of mind while I was working. I will definitely be having her watch our pup again!”
About: Raised on a farm caring for dogs, I’ve taken them boating and fishing, and they always enjoy taking me on long, happy walks wherever we go. I’m their thunderstorm protector and the king pin of snuggle time on every visit. I work from home and my wife is always here, so pets get constant attention. Our days start with walks and end relaxing together outside in our yard. Raised on a farm, I create a safe, calm home for overnight care. We also happily visit other homes for pet relief, keeping routines steady and stress‑free.

“Bee had lots of fun with Avijeet and Leo! Avijeet's dog Leo was very friendly and respectful, but energetic and playful enough to tire Bee out throughout the day. Bee came home happy and sleepy and she clearly enjoyed her time there. Thanks Avijeet!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - St. Thomas
Matthew took excellent care of my dog, Gunnie. He really went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable when he was a bit nervous. He can tell he's very good with animals and he quickly won my puppy over. With Bailey's help Gunnie was frolicking and playing in no time. My dog has been a bit anxious and has refused to go to doggie daycare recently. I was worried that he would be too anxious to stay with anyone, but Mathew handled him so well and made me feel comfortable too. I highly recommend Mathew and will certainly be booking with him again.
As my first Rover experience, Tabitha surpassed every expectation and made the whole experience feel like Tazzy was visiting family. With my permission, Tazzy had another puppy play date in Tabitha's home, and as a result came back to us exhausted and very happy. As a nervous puppy Mom, her messages and photos were so calming. Huge thank you to Tabitha for this wonderful experience. I recommend Tabitha 100%.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in St. Thomas on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 205 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in St. Thomas. About 85% of St. Thomas 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 St. Thomas 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
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
