“Meagan, you and your family did such an amazing job caring for my pup, Alfie! Meagan followed all of my requests and kept me updated throughout the whole entire visit according to my request. Their home is intentionally set up to accommodate caring for a dog, with areas gated for safety. Her daughter's are also extremely sweet and I appreciate that they spent time and playing with Alfie. They are clearly dog savvy kids and were very respectful of him and his needs. I don't even think Alfie knew I was gone 🙄😂 Thank you very much Meagan & family!!”
“Riley enjoyed her day with Naomi and Sam and did not want to come home with us during pick up! Naomi was very easy to talk to and listened with care about Riley’s sensitivities and separation anxiety to make sure she met her needs. Riley will definitely be going back again! We received lots of pictures and updates as well. Thank you for taking care of my girl with so much love.”
About: Extremely experienced and have been taking care of animals for over 15 years! I treat each pet like a family member with unconditional love <3 I am currently at home full time, so I will have unlimited time to spend with each and every fur baby! My schedule is very open; available for boarding almost 7 days a week! Caring for animals isn't just a job to me; it is natural and part of my every day life! Great size family home with lots of room and comfy furniture for them to feel right at home. I have a fully fenced in back yard, offering lots of play time outside. Awesome neighborhood for ample walks as well. I do have two friendly cats; both love and are used to dogs. If the need for crating is requested, I do have one available.
“Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of our dog Apollo! This was our first time leaving him with anyone other than family and he loved it, but most importantly we were reassured that he was safe and doing well during the whole day. Stephanie sent us many videos and pictures of Apollo’s stay, which was amazing because we could see how much fun he was having! I will and already have booked multiple more doggy day care for Apollo with Stephanie and recommend anyone to do so too!”
“Monique took excellent care of our pup, Emilio. We had a day of tourism at Niagara Falls and Emilio enjoyed spending time with all the pups and Monique. We loved the pictures and Rover Card report. Much appreciated! Will book again when we come back.”
“My pup, Millie had an amazing time with Kelly and her family. There were other furry friends there making a fun day for all. Kelly had a great drop off and pick up system making it very easy. She follows all required directions if needed for the specific pups and has all items such as leashes, bowls, toys, etc... She has a great area outside for the pups to play in and she sends check in messages and videos of the pups which makes it a great feeling for myself (owners). I would definitely recommend her services and will be using her in the future.”
“Karen and Jorge were amazing with Ocho! They took great care of him, kept us updated with photos throughout the day, and made us feel completely at ease. We highly recommend them and would definitely book with them again! 🐶💛”
“Siobhan did a wonderful job taking care of our 7 year old Beagle. I think he really enjoyed playing with Siobhan's dog Millie. They were a very good match by size and temperament. I'm sure our Beagle enjoyed having access to a fenced yard. Lots of new things to sniff! Thank you Siobhan :)”
“Holly dog sat our puppy and 5 year old dog while we spent the day at Niagara Falls. She sent us updates, photos, and videos throughout the day to keep our minds at ease. I’d highly recommend Holly for any of your dog sitting needs!”
“You can tell Conner takes such pride in what he does. He is more than a pet sitter. His live and dedication shines through. He gives me peace of mind when I drop Barley off.”
“I’m so very pleased to have made a connection with Tammy. First, she was willing to meet and test herself for any allergic reaction to our Lexi. Thankfully there was none!! From the first moment we met Tammy and later her hsbd, I could see Lexi was super relaxed and at ease. Getting to know Tammy prior to arranging daycare was a pleasure. I appreciated all the questions, her eagerness to interact with Lexi, her manner of joy, gentleness and natural confident leadership while handling our girl. Our first dog-sitting went smoothly for everyone. There was excellent communication between us, I had 100% peace of mind while away and from photos Tammy shared, I could see Lexi was a very happy girl. I’m grateful to know that Tammy and Gord are people with whom we can trust and count on for future dog sitting and perhaps (hopefully!), overnight stays too ?? ?”
“Sarah took great care of our little pup in her home while we visited Niagra Falls. Our pup settled in quickly and followed her around the house- sarah even sent us photos of our pup during her stay. We highly recommend her. Thank you Sarah.”
“Ryan is a wonderful sitter! Jiraiya had so much fun, looking at the pictures and the feedback Ryan gave us! Will 100% be using his service again. We really appreciate Ryan and his daughter accommodating Jiraiya so last minute :) thank you!!!”
“Emily was great to work with! Very flexible and accommodating. She had great communication. I could tell that my dog had a good day with her. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Charlene was amazing. My doggie is from the US and he now has a CA dog buddy name Dora & a special human friend Charlene🌷. She took such great care of Rocket. He enjoyed himself for 2 daytime daycare visits.. This helped us have a more enjoyable vacation and afforded Rocket the same as well. This was our first road trip with Rocket. Thank You so much Charlene.💐🌸🌺🌸🌷🌷🌷🌷🌺🌸💐”
“My Fuji absolutely loves Ibifuro and is always excited when we get her street. She communicates with me throughout the day with updates on Fuji and how he is doing which I really appreciate. I would definitely book her again.”
“Bailey had a wonderful time with Janelle! She was incredibly patient, caring, and attentive to his needs. It was clear that she genuinely loves dogs, and Bailey was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I picked him up. I would definitely trust her with Bailey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!”
“Monica provided excellent care to Sully and was extremely professional in assuring me that he would be watched carefully. I appreciated the meet and greet and her effort to drive to Welland to do so. She is a lovely person and takes great pride in offering the best care possible. We will see you again!”

Connor took great care of our puppy. Spent just the right amount of time as she adjusted to the new surroundings. This was our first time leaving her alone with anyone and she seemed well adjusted. Can only credit her calmness to the way she was handled by Connor! He even took the time to give an update and pictures of their walk. Definitely will be using him again!!!

There are 284 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Thorold. About 91% of Thorold 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 Thorold 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:
- 100% 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.
