About: Since our 1st family dog as a child our house has always been filled with furry paws. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from small to large. I am a childcare provider who is working part time. I have lots of free time during the day to care for your special furry friend. I work part time so have lots of free time to get out and go for walks during the day in all types of weather. We will enjoy walks in the neighborhood, or sometimes go on the trails and hike or even beach walks. If you have more then 1 dog that's not a problem at all.

“5 STARS!! These two are great dog sitters and super nice people to deal with. They were very willing to take on any kind of challenge and. Stick to any rules I have with my pet. They are very easy going and I just love that Laura works from home so she is there all day which is very reassuring! They kept me updated throughout the day as well sending pictures of what she was up to all day. It was a great first dog sitter experience and I plan on using them for all of my dog sitting needs in the future!”
“Daniela was the perfect choice to take care of my Maple (Pomsky) when I was away for a day! She sent constant updates and pictures of their activities. She is experienced and very caring of fur babies, I endorse Daniela and say this with ease that your fur baby will be in good hands.”

“If I could give Jeff 10 stars, I would. Jeff took excellent care of our mini poodle today. Skully is an anxious dog. Jeff and Tucker made him feel at home. He came home happy and exhausted. Jeff went out of way to calm my nerves about leaving Skully at a new place by sending videos and photos. Jeff's property is impeccably clean and welcoming. I highly recommend him!!”
“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.”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, as for right now I am travelling on and off and therefore cannot have my own furry friend. But in the meantime would love to go on walks and take care of yours! I have plenty of availability when I’m not travelling! When I’m not travelling or volunteering to help youth or other animal programs, I am doing this! When watching the pets taking them out, playing with them, allowing them to eat on time is very important. A healthy balance of everything is what they need!
“Naomi, Sam and their family are amazing! My little puppy had such an amazing time and was exhausted when I picked him up. Huge backyard for lots of running and activities! Naomi made my puppy Navy feel at home!! Couldn’t recommend them enough ❤️”
“Mohit gave me details about the days and photos of the dogs playing throughout the day. He was super professional and seemed to enjoy having Tina around to spend the day with his family. Would recommend to anyone.”
“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! 🐶💛”
“Felipe is a caring and kind dog lover who took care of our dog well. She is a picky eater and Felipe is so patient in feeding her! She got plenty of exercise and she looked so happy the whole time she was with Felipe!!! Recommended!!!!”

Emily took great care of Roscoe. He seemed happy and relaxed when I picked him up. She kept me up to date throughout the sitting with lots of pictures and notes, as she is an excellent communicator and clearly loves pets. Thanks for taking great care of Roscoe!
Jolene and her family were so kind and welcoming to us! Communication was great — we even had a meet and greet beforehand to introduce Beauty and talk about her needs. Beauty came home both days just ready to sleep, so I’m sure she had a fantastic time! I would definitely book with Jolene and her family again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Welland on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of August 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 193 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Welland. About 90% of Welland 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 Welland 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.
