“Susannah and Richard were so kind and great to work with! They took excellent care of our nervous dog during a holiday, allowing us to spend valuable time with family, which we really appreciated. They asked helpful questions to make sure they could provide the best care for our dog, and they made sure to take him out for walks and give him lots of good attention. We are so glad we met them, and would definitely recommend them to anyone!”
“We had a great daycare experience with Shayla & Jacob. They were very responsive & patient to the many questions we had regarding our first visit. Mack our 85 pound lab had a great play date with plenty of space. We especially liked the way that Mack took to Jacob upon their first meeting. We absolutely recommend Jacob & Shayla and will be back at n the future!”
“I have never used Rover before and had a last-minute emergency for my shy little rescue, Maya. She was so happy when I picked her up! Sarah and Matt were kind, communicative, and made me feel like my beloved Maya was in the best of hands. Will definitely go back to this happy, dog-friendly home!”
About: I absolutely love animals and I’m always excited to meet new little personalities. I work well with all sizes and ages, and I’m patient, calm, and consistent. I’m great with basic training, potty routines, leash manners, and socializing. I’m very loving but also structured, so your baby will feel safe and cared for!🫶🏻 I work during the week (about 8am–3pm) and I’m currently off on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Outside of that, I’m usually home and available, so I’m still able to give a lot of attention and one-on-one care! I split my time between San Francisco and Petaluma on our family farm. It’s a calm, simple environment and it’s usually just me and my two-year-old, who is very gentle and used to being around animals. We spend a lot of time outside, going on walks, exploring, and just hanging out with the animals.
“Mackenzie was super flexible, communicative and professional. My pup had a great time under her watchful eye. She followed all of my directions to a tee and then some. She went above and beyond to make sure my girl was happy as well as keep me updated on her stay. If you’re looking for someone seasoned to take care of your pets, Mackenzie is your gal!”
About: I have had big dogs my whole life....taking care of them, walking them etc. Because I lost my big girl a year ago, and because of circumstances, I am not able to adopt yet, but would love to walk/take care of yours! I am dedicated to supporting dogs and their pet care needs. I am currently available 24/7 and am looking forward to helping all the owners and dogs! I currently have one rat terrier named Jake who is like 14-15 years old (?) but he gets along with everyone and is non-confrontational ;-)
“Dustin took such great care of our pup! Really appreciated his great communication and quick responses both before and during our dog's stay. Our dog usually gets anxious when we're away from him, but he was a happy boy when he came back from staying with Dustin! Can tell Dustin really cares for animals. Would definitely work with him again! Also our dog loved running around his spacious yard. :)”
“Katherine is such a sweet and loving person. She was very nice and caring to Mylo. Mylo warmed up to her easily. Would request her to take care Mylo if ever we come back to Napa. Thank you very much for today.”
“Emma is incredible. Our dogs have stayed with her twice now and looking forward to more visits. Incredibly reliable, responsive, caring and keeps us up to date with the cutest pictures.”
“Kellie and Nate are so welcoming and have a beautiful dog-friendly home and awesome backyard. Their relaxed energy made me feel so comfortable to have them care for our 6-month old extra large breed Great Pyrenees/Siberian Husky puppy that we adopted just 3 weeks ago for a day while I had a job interview. I highly recommend Kellie and Nate!”
“Kylie was great to communicate with and she took really good care of my dog Mochi! She cares for her dog really well. It was relieved to know my dog has someone like this watching him when I’m away!”
About: Growing up with dogs of all types gave me a love for animals and taught me how to care for them properly. Their loyalty and playful nature showed me the importance of patience, love, and having fun while taking care of them. I’m self-employed, which gives me the flexibility to care for your dog with personalized attention, love, and consistency throughout the day. I ensure their needs are met, from meals and walks to playtime and companionship. I treat every pet in my care as part of my family. In my home, I provide fresh water, nutritious meals, daily walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention to keep them happy and healthy.When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, and any special needs. I make sure their space stays clean and secure. My goal is always to ensure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away.
“Steven hosted my dog over for doggy day care when I received a last minute cancellation from another sitter. All worked out great. Steven had prompt communication, understood dog behavior and needs, followed through on my requests on how to care for my dog. Perfect experience, highly recommend! My dog will be back!”
“Our Dog lucked out by getting to hang with Robin and her family for a few hours during the holiday week. Robins dog Zuko is adorable and welcomed Maggie to share her couch - the ultimate compliment . Robin responds to messages quickly and sent great photos during Maggie’s visit. I highly recommend Robin !”
“Robert and Sheila were fantastic! They were responsive and easy to work and took great care of our little one, Shelby. Their sweet dog Yoti was patient with our timid and over-attached dog Shelby. Yoti is friendly and welcoming……just like Robert and Sheila. Their home had a beautiful back yard where the dogs can roam together, and Rob is there with them all day while he works. We were fortunate to find them.”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 11 years old, starting with the pets of my friends, family, and my own dogs. Over the years, I have learned how to understand their personalities, needs, and routines. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, companionship, or providing extra care for younger or older pets, I treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care is not just something I do, it’s something I truly enjoy and dedicate my time to. I currently care for pets full-time, which allows me to give them the attention, love, and consistency they need throughout the day. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, keeping their routines, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their families are away. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I feel grateful to be able to do what I love every day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and respected in their environment. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, routines, medications, and any special needs their pet may have. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I provide a calm and loving space where they can feel relaxed. I pay close attention to their behavior, keep their environment clean and safe, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - McGill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 3,557 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across McGill. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 McGill 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.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
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!
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 CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 3,557 sitters in McGill, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
