“This was a great experience for my miniature Dachshund Phoebe and a learning experience for me. Ivan has a way with dogs that goes well beyond the standard pet sitting experience. Being a “covid puppy” lead to some socialization issues we’re now thankfully on the path to correcting. I’m impressed with the results after just one session.”
“My dog Laon always has a great time with Rachel! She is so kind and pleasant to work with 💕 I have been sending my dog to her for more than a year and she is always so consistent - fast on responses and caring about pets !! Highly recommend her for anyone who's looking for a dog sitter in mid- town area!”
“Say and Dibyendu were fantastic with my senior boy. They were both extremely welcoming to Snax and made sure that he was treated with the utmost care and love during his visits with them. The last time I went to pick him up, he was so excited that we were all together and he didn’t want to leave their place. I can’t wait until he gets to spend time with them again.”
“Great experience leaving our golden doodle with Farhaan. He was great to communicate with and our dog seemed to be right at home in his care. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl :)”
“Excellent experience with Hillary and Ang! Great communication and care for my dog Watson. He can be a little nervous around new people and he warmed up to them quickly!”
“Angel and Ken did a wonderful job taking care of my dog Dorca while I was at work. Drop off and pickup were nice and easy and they kept me updated with pictures. Dorca was excited about the recent snow and has been more active than usual, however Angel and Ken must have played with him quite a bit because I picked up a tired and happy dog at the end of the day. I hope to leave Dorca with them again in the future.”
“Gabrielle took such great care of Negi while we were away! She gave him so much attention and love, and it made such a difference knowing he was being cared for so thoughtfully. I also loved that her family was home and spent time playing with him too! I’d absolutely trust Gabrielle with Negi again and highly recommend her ☺️”
“Shayna loved staying with Julie! She didn't want to come home! Julie was very accommodating of my schedule and flexible with pickup times. She also gave Shayna a special playtime with treats just like I do at home. She made Shayna so relaxed and happy, even though Shayna was a bit anxious in the beginning. Thank you for a great stay!”
“Thank you so much, Samantha and your Husband! Toby came back happy and relaxed, which tells me he was very well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and the care you gave him throughout the day. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again, and I’m sure Toby would be happy to come back too!”
“Rong was lovely! She took very good care of George. She was flexible and responsive. She sent me lota of photos and walked him. Very good experience all round. Highly recommend.”
“Maria was fantastic. From the moment I reached out, she was eager to meet, and it was incredibly convenient that we live just a few steps away. Nymeria and Luke seemed completely at ease with her; it was my first time leaving them with someone new, so I was a bit unsure of how they'd react. Maria sent frequent updates, which gave me real peace of mind. She proved to be trustworthy, and I’ll definitely consider her for future needs.”
“We’ve left Koogla in Arya’s care a few times and it’s been great every time. Arya’s provided photos and updates regularly. We can tell that Koogla is very fond of Arya. Highly recommend.”
“Isabella was a fantastic dog sitter. She asked a lot of questions before the day care, to ensure MissTea has a good stay with them. Very responsive to messages and shared a lot of photos as well. Will definitely reach out to her again for Misstea, whenever needed”
“I felt so comfortable leaving Frankie to hang out with Daniel and his lovely family. His daughters played with and tired out Frankie for me and I never worried that she wasn’t in the best care😊I would definitely ask Daniel to puppy sit for us again.”
“Tanya was great and my dog took to her right away. She followed all instructions asked questions and provided updates during the stay. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“This is the second time we have sent our 4 month old puppy to spend the day with Kateryna and couldn’t recommend her more!! She gave him tons of exercise and outdoor time and even worked on his leash training with him. She sends tons of (amazing) pictures. I feel so lucky to have found her!”
“This was our first time booking with Man Ze, and I had to find a sitter on short notice. She was incredibly kind, flexible, and accommodating throughout the entire process, which made things much less stressful for me. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and overall had great, fast communication. I especially appreciated that she took the time to think of different ways to keep him engaged. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was getting attention and enrichment while I was away. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely book again. Thank you for taking such good care of him and having patience with him when he likes to sit on the grass during walks.”

We had such a great experience with Rachel! She did an amazing job taking care of our dog and made everything so easy and stress-free for us. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos throughout the day, it was so reassuring to see that he was happy, comfortable, and having a great time.
Second time booking with Soonwoo! He is so pleasant & kind to work with !! And he is super fast with all the booking requests & communication! I love how he's sending updates and photos during my dog's stay as well! Will definitely continue booking with him ☺️☺️ highly recommend!
David has been taking care of my golden boy Remi regularly for several months. Remi is always excited to go and see David so I know he has fun there. David also sends so many pictures, videos and updates which is the next best thing besides having Remi with me. David also has some knowledge about dogs so I’ve gotten some advice and tips from him too. And on top of all that David is such a cool, nice guy! Thanks for all you do David!
Trinnie & her boyfriend are always so kind and so warm! I love how she messages me that Laon is welcomed to her anytime !! She is so easy to communicate and so pleasant to work with 🥰🥰 Laon always has the best time at their place and I cannot appreciate them enough ❤️
Celine provided daycare services for my dog Luna who has been experiencing some issues with separation anxiety and is also very high energy. Celine made Luna feel right at home. She had the best day playing with Celine and all her new dog friends. Celine was so communicative and keep me updated with some amazing pictures of Luna throughout the day. I’m so happy to have found Celine and will definitely be using her for Luna’s daycare in the future!

There are 4,506 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Toronto. About 89% of Toronto 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 Toronto 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:
- 79% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
