“Cindy took great care of my fur buddy Zeus . She had him all day, and sent several updates & pics throughout the day. Prior to that we met up for a meet and greet, where she answered all my questions. When I picked Zeus up he was obviously happy with his experience. Highly recommend Cindy.”
“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 !”
“After our meet and greet a few weeks ago I felt very confident that Orly would be in good hands. Today she had a fantastic day with Kim and Murphy. Kim has very good communication providing great pics and a summary of how the day went. Orly looks forward to more upcoming visits.”

My home is a spacious apartment, and I allow puppies and kitties on my couch and bed. In fact, I love cuddling. So, I encourage it. However, your place will be your rules. I'm a home-body, and don't go out, but I do love walks. Your puppies will get the time outside they require. I have an adorable chihuahua and ginger kitten. Both are friendly with all types of animals. Also have a young boy who loves to play with animals. Especially fetch!
“Kayla was great! Very welcoming and very affectionate with my pup right from the moment we met her. She had a few dogs that day so Sully got some great playtime and came home happy and tired. I would recommend Kayla!”
“Link always has a fun stay with Dale and Fiona. Their place is so dog friendly and they take such good care of Link. He always comes home nice and tired. Will always book again.”
“Paula was great! She and her kids met us at the door and welcomed our pup warmly. She sent pics and updates during his stay, assuring us that Dashel was being well taken care of. Will definitely be using her (them!) next time we're in town for a show.”
“Charlanne is incredible with my puppy Dalton. Her calming presence made Dalton feel comfortable and he warmed up to her right away. It is very apparent that Charlanne gives so much love to Dalton and treats him as her own. It gives me such relief to know that my pup is getting great care while I am away. Dalton loves arriving at Charlanne’s and is tuckered out by the end of the day! She keeps him active which is much appreciated. Charlanne is great with communication and always keeps me up-to-date through messages, videos and pictures. I highly recommend Charlanne!”

We are very happy we found her and will continue bring her there, we know she had an amazing day with Eva because by the time she came home she was just resting for the rest of the day.Thank you for all your love and care you put on our baby fur?”

“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.”
“Ruomai always takes wonderful care of our Millie! Super attentive, and provides some videos and pictures throughout the day so we know she is doing well. Always gets her to eat when she is kept through meal times, and makes sure she has a comfortable social experience as well. Millie is always just as excited to come here as she is to come home! Would always recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m Karen, and caring for animals has been my lifelong passion and career. I bring over 20 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of every age, size, and temperament. I spent 10 years owning and operating a dog boarding and daycare facility, where I cared for everything from energetic puppies to seniors with special needs. I’m also an experienced positive reinforcement dog trainer, having taught puppy classes, basic obedience, and agility. Before opening my facility, I worked as a dog walker throughout university, and I was raised by two veterinarians—so I’ve truly grown up with this work. I understand canine body language, behavior, and how to create a safe, structured, and happy environment for all pets in my home. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first. I have a large, secure fenced in yard, plenty of space to play, and quiet areas for rest. If you’re traveling with a mixed pet family, I also have safe, separate areas for cats, thanks to my years of running a combined dog-and-cat boarding program. I’m experienced with: • Puppies (training, socialization, house manners) • Senior dogs (gentle routines, mobility support) • Dogs with medical or behavioral needs • Administering medications, including special diets and schedules, including insulin injections if needed My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re part of the family while giving you total peace of mind. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to providing the same level of care I’d want for my own animals. I work full time from home, so I am always around. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐾 I work from home, I am home all the time. Happy to help with doggy daycare if you need your dog to come and play in a large fenced in area. I have many opportunities throughout the day to allow for free play outside, and lots of dog beds (couches if they're allowed!) throughout the house. I am available for overnight boarding on weekdays and weekends, including holidays. I have a large 1/4 acre fully fenced yard and my own two small dogs, both around 10 pounds, both female (spayed). There is a doggy door to the yard for full and free access to the fenced yard if your dog is able to use the doggy door, if not I have a sliding patio door and man door to let them in and out. My dogs are allowed on the couch and bed, yours will be too, unless you prefer they aren't allowed for manners training! My home is puppy proofed (my one dog is a 6 month old puppy), so everything is out of reach and puppy safe. I have 2 sphynx cats as well that love dogs, and the cat litter is behind gates and out of reach for dogs. I have two children, ages 10 and 12. They have grown up with many dogs and cats, we had a busy dog boarding kennel for their entire childhood until we sold it a few years ago.
“Thank you so much for looking after Tucker and Snow! We know Tucker’s been soaking up all the snuggles, and Snow’s been keeping you on your toes with his playful energy. It means the world to us knowing they’re in such loving hands. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Good job 👍”
“Emma was amazing! They took great care of my dog and kept me updated while I was away. Very kind, responsible, and clearly love animals. I came home to a happy and well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend!”

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 July 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 437 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:
- 85% 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.
