Dawn was exceptional with Winnie. Being a first time puppy owner, I wanted to ensure I found a good sitter for her while I was at work. Dawn was amazing and I look forward to taking Winnie back!

My dog Rupert absolutely loved his stay with Cindy and Marc. You can tell that they’re passionate about animals and take very good care of their client pups. Their yard is an excellent space for your dog to run around and have fun. They made sure to send updates and photos throughout the day to ensure that I knew that my dog was in good hands. Thank you so much for keeping my pup safe and happy!

Ed and his family were fabulous. Cooper made himself at home immediately upon getting there. My husband said it was so nice when the entire family came to the door to say goodbye. It was great knowing Cooper was in such good hands.

I am so lucky that I found Jayson. Our dog is usually shy at first, but she clicked with Jayson. He is kind, caring and I feel so relieved when she is with him for doggy daycare. Jayson responds very quickly and communicates very clearly. His dog, Arnold has made our girl feel comfortable, which is amazing, as she can be apprehensive at times. Jayson will provide lots of photos during the day and keeps me updated on her walks (or hangouts in the backyard when it is too hot). His photos are always accompanied by a text, telling me how she is doing, how her walk was, when she had dinner, etc. I love that Jayson always gives off a calm and happy demeanor, because it not only makes our dog comfortable, but I do not worry at all about her while she is there. If you are looking for someone who provides a fun and calm space, a very chill doggy companion, and lots of care, I 100% recommend Jayson as your pet sitter/walker.

I was so nervous to leave my tiny puppy with anyone at such a young age but Tieja was absolutely wonderful. My Alfie liked her right away, she kept me updated and understood my worry. I’ll ask her again to care for him without question.

McKenna and Zachery took great care of our Golden Retriever, Rusty. They took us in last minute and even extended the stay until later than we had planned to pickup. They communicated effectively and followed Rusty’s routine and care instructions properly as well. Their dog and Rusty got along pretty well and we were sent a lot if pictures too! Would highly recommend.

We can’t be more grateful for the amazing care our two dogs received! Our senior pup Wako, requires a little extra patience and gentleness, and Camila was absolutely wonderful with him. Ragnar, our energetic dog, had a blast! He came home happy and well-exercised, having had tons of fun playing with other dogs and getting lots of love and attention from Camila and her family. It was clear from the updates and photos that both dogs were treated like family. Knowing they were in such loving, capable hands gave us great peace of mind. We’ll definitely be booking again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boys!

We had an excellent experience with Ty. He exceeded our expectations in every way. He was incredibly responsive, caring, and engaging with both our dog and our family from the very beginning. Our dog felt comfortable with him almost immediately, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. He took her on regular walks, made sure she was well cared for, and sent plenty of updates and photos throughout her stay. It was clear she was happy and in great hands. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommend.

Tieja is a true dog lover and she sat my 1 yr old mini golden doodle for 2 nights while we went to plays at the Stratford Festival. My dog Lola was keen to visit even on the first visit and ran up the steps for her second visit. When we picked her up at 11:30 pm Lola gave her big kisses before we left. Obviously she enjoyed her stay. Tieja also sent photos of Lola and her dog playing together and walked her at night. We couldn't been happier with her care. Thank you Tieja !

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Stratford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Stratford on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of August 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 432 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Stratford. About 90% of Stratford 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 Stratford 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:

  • 73% 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.
