“Naomi is friendly and very easy to work with. She took good care of Scooby and ensured he was happy and well-exercised. We’d love to leave Scooby with Naomi again soon.”
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.
“Great communication and very easy going. Instead of spending 6h in her crate, she spend it running around a yard with a new friend. We plan to use Siobhan again next time we plan a day trip.”
“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!”
“We did a one-day trial with Monique to see how Dolce would do, and it was a great experience. She got along well with Monique’s two dogs, went for a walk, and seemed happy and comfortable. Monique sent photo updates during the day, which I really appreciated. Dolce even ate a little while she was there, which is a very good sign for my picky little poodle! We’d definitely book with Monique again.”
“We were visiting Niagara Falls with our dog, Ruby, and wanted a safe/fun place for her to stay while we explored the area. Holly was great! She sent updates throughout the day (which gave me peace of mind), and Ruby loved playing with her two dogs. The fenced yard was a big plus. Everything worked out perfectly, and we’d definitely reach out to Holly again if we’re back in the area.”
“My dog seemed happy and tired when I picked him up! Very easy and quick communications, flexibility in hours and loved the convenient location (so we could do touristy stuff nearby). Highly recommend!”
“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! 🐶💛”
“Lily was a little scared at first, but once I came to pick her up she had settled greatly. She was SO excited to come back the next time! Richard is very friendly and easy to talk to. Lily is happy and well taken care of there, and that’s so important to me. I hope to continue bringing Lily to Richard whenever possible!”
“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.”
“As a first time Rover user, I couldn’t have had a better experience with a sitter for our Winnie.Charlene was so quick to respond and accommodated us on short notice of a few hours. Charlene introduced herself to our dog like a true pet professional and made Winnie feel instantly calm and comfortable. It was the first time that our dog has been cared for outside our home and she was cuddling with Charlene in no time. Charlene sent us several photo updates to put our minds at ease. When we picked Winnie up she tried to run back into Charlene’s house to stay a little longer. We are so happy to have connected with such a kind and caring pet owner and will use Charlene again without hesitation.”
“Sarah is awesome!She took great care of our dog Luna.She sent photos and videos which was great.We will definitely use it again if we visit Niagara Falls.Highly recommend!Thank you Sarah!”
About: I'm an animal lover, and really like to be outside taking in fresh air or giving some love to an animal. I get great joy from helping others and spending time with animals. I've cared for many different breeds of cats and dogs. I'm careful and thorough when I care for animals. Your pet will have a great day enjoying nature and getting some exercise, enjoy some love and attention. I would love to learn more about your pet and do all the things they love most, contact me any time! I work from home and set my schedule. I am always around for your pet and can make your pet my priority. If you have specific requests, just let me know! I have a fully fenced yard and a cozy home with lots of places to sun baith, play and relax. If we're going on walks, my area is full of parks and trails for walks.
“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!”
“Jade was a great choice, Lily was excited to go back the next day. She kept me updated on how everything was going which was very appreciated and Lily loved her!”
“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!”
“Liz is a very kind and warm human. She bonded well with my little guy and took very good care of him. She was accommodating to my changing schedules which I was extremely grateful for. I would definitely recommend Liz and work with her again! Thanks, Liz !”
“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 ?? ?”

Winnie’s second visit with Meagan was great! Meagan actually had another dog staying with her for part of the day this time and was still willing to accommodate us, but she had us come by first to meet the other dog. It was really nice to see how seriously she takes the safety and comfort of all the dogs in her care. She had great communication throughout, and Winnie came home tired from all the fun. Winnie can’t wait to visit 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 286 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Thorold. About 90% 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.
