About: I have been a foster for assistance dog training programs in both Ontario and BC for over six years (PADS, Lions Foundation Dog Guides). My dogs have become assistance dogs for the deaf, underprivileged, and others. I have several years of training with these programs, which has educated me on providing exceptional care. Most importantly, I offer a home with gentle energy that allows dogs to feel comfortable and secure. I currently foster a very cute two year old Labrador. I am retired, so my schedule is wide open, allowing me to provide care for your pet, even at a moment's notice. I will not take on two dog sitting requests at the same time, allowing me to focus on your pet. I have a very pet friendly dog who will gently play with yours. I am wide open to your requests, covering the specific needs your dog may have.
“Cynara was amazing with my dog Peach. It was my moving day and both me and my dog were anxious. Cynara took care of Peach the whole day, took her for walks and gave her food and water. She shared photos and texted me to share how Peach was doing. It was so comforting to see my dog relaxing at her place. She was also very kind to drop Peach off as it was really hectic at my end. I definitely recommend her and will book her for Peach again.”
“Grateful to have found Ivan. He was very communicative about my dogs and he really took the time to get know the 3 of them. When we arrive for pick up, our dogs were not stressed at all. To be able to handle 3 chows at once and on their first meet up is really a feat! Thanks Ivan! Excited to work with you more in getting our dogs trained as well!”
“Rachel is excellent, she sent me updates on how my dog was doing, photos and is very nice and accommodating. I absolutely recommend booking her and will definitely use book with her again! 😊”
“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 ☺️”
“Diana was absolutely amazing, she kept me updated on my dog, sent photos, videos and batherd her feet after a long walk. She's incredible and I absolutely recommend booking with her 😊”
“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.”
“First time booking with Chaewon and Im so glad i found her on Rover !! She was so thoughtful and thorough for the booking. She sent me a reminder message and coordinated the drop off & pick up so smoothly. She sent me update during the day and she was just so lovely and pleasant to work with ! I would love to hook her services again!! 10/10 sitter !!❤️”
“Isabella was a delight to work with! We did a fantastic meet and greet beforehand and she took such great care of him and sent me lots of wonderful photos! Bowser was happy and tired out when he got back to me after spending the day with her. I will absolutely be using her again.”
“As always, Shayna had a great time at Cel & Julie's. Her tail started wagging as soon as we arrived, because she knows she is in good hands. Thanks for making her so comfortable and happy.”
“Very happy with leaving my dog in Analicia's care. She is very responsive, and when I had to be late for the pickup due to an emergency, she happily agreed to take care of him for a bit longer. I would highly recommend Analicia!”
“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 :)”
“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.”
“Parnia was great with Spooky and was accommodating of my request even though it was last minute! I was sent a pictures of Spooky and he seemed to have a great time! Would definitely leave Spooky with her again!”
“Joanna (Ang) and Hillary were super attentive to my pup Morty - they sent lots of photos of them playing and cuddling, it was really great to see! They also had the pee pads, dog bed, treats handy which was really nice - I only needed to provide the leash which is a given, and I appreciated them letting us up as well to see how Morty settles in before leaving him with them. Morty was in great hands, and we can trust Joanna and Hillary to do a great job future sitting needs.”
“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Toronto
I love working with Soonwoo! He is very fast with his communication and very kind with every interaction! I have been booking his services a few times by now but it has been always very smooth from booking to actual drop off and pick up! I will continuously book his services 😆 highly recommend him !
Chaewon is so amazing! My dog Laon always gets excited to see her & starts barking and that's how I know he has been having such a great experience with Chaewon! I appreciate her taking multiple walks in a day and her true love for pets🥰 We cant wait to book with her again soon!
Oscar was soo incredible!! I had such a wonderful experience from the super quick response time, extreme care with my little one and making sure he got what he needed today, food, love, attention and cuddles. Thank you so much for taking him on a last minute notice!
Cannot speak more highly of Maria Angela’s care of our pup Lucca. She embraced him, personality quirks and all, from day 1. She kept us in the loop every day with photos and report backs, and cared for him as if he was her own. She is a caring and coveted member of our family, consider yourself lucky to have her look after your pets.
Maria and Cameron were amazing with Millie. They gave Millie lots of attention and provided updates throughout her stay. Millie has separation anxiety so they made sure to make her feel comfortable and at home in their space. I would definitely recommend Maria and Cameron!
Avnee and Yash were amazing taking care of our small dog. They sent us pictures of her activities and she was really happy staying with them for doggy day care. They even comforted her when there was an unexpected thunderstrom which we appreciate greatly. Would strongly recommend for anyone looking for pet sitting in Midtown.
Matthew is wonderful with Luna, she is a shy girl and is always so excited to be with Matthew! He plays a lot with her, takes her out on multiple walks during the day, and overall takes great care of her. He is great with communication, very fast at replying, he is flexible and understanding.
Man Sze was absolutely wonderful with Snoopy. ❤️ She was so thoughtful and considerate of his individual needs, and you could truly see how much care and love she put into making him feel comfortable and happy. I especially loved that she created enrichment activities just for him—it was such a beautiful touch and showed how much attention she gave to understanding Snoopy. And the little sketch she made of him honestly touched my heart. It was such a thoughtful and personal gesture that I’ll always cherish. Snoopy came home happy, loved, and so well cared for, which means everything to me. I’m incredibly grateful for the kindness and genuine care Man Sze showed him. There’s no doubt Snoopy will be going back to her again. He clearly had a wonderful time, and I know he’ll be in the best hands. Highly recommend Man Sze to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog with genuine love and thoughtfulness. 🐾❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Toronto on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
