“Shirley provided wonderful care for our senior dog, and made sure Ina was happy and comfortable. Quick to respond and provide updates, would easily recommend Shirley to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Thanks!”
“Josephine was a great communicator and sent updates throughout the day. It was a last minute booking but she was so accommodating, I look forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“Arely was sensational! She stayed on top of everything with clear and constant communication throughout the entire stay. I felt my girls were safe, happy, and very well cared for with her. I received pictures of dinner time, Ginger playing nonstop, relaxing on the sofa and bed with friends, and having an amazing play day. It truly looked like they had the best time. I highly recommend her services. She has a beautiful, clean, and open space for them to play, and her furry babies are absolutely amazing as well. 10/10 — thank you so much!”
“Analisa was excellent! Very friendly and clearly cared about our dog a lot. Sent tons of photos and videos throughout the day, which I appreciated. Will definitely use again.”
“Marisol was great with Cooper. She was very kind, communicative, and made the whole drop-off and pick-up process easy. She kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Cooper looked comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. I really appreciated how attentive and friendly she was. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Nice person. Kept me updated on the pup with pictures. Pup was able to socialize with multiple people in her household which is great for the age of my pup. You can tell she is very genuine about caring for animals.”
“Our Boba had another great time with Xutao! We received pictures and videos of Boba playing with the other dogs he was sitting and love seeing how much fun all of them were having. When we picked up Boba, we can tell he had a great time and received everything we dropped off with Boba including a washed clean bowl and cleaned out container :)”
About: For over 10 years, I have taken care of the dogs of my friends and family. My experiences include senior dogs with mobility concerns and young hyper-active pups. Through strong attention to detail, I have nurtured and supported the well-being of many dogs and other pets alike. My experience taking care of different animals (e.g cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs) has made me a well-rounded pet sitter. I currently teach part-time at a local community college. Most of my workload can be performed at home. This gives me plenty of time to cater to the needs of your precious doggo. In my home, I have a fenced yard and plenty of space. This assures that dogs can be secured with room to stretch out. I, also, have many home security cameras as an added protection measure. My surrounding neighborhood is safe and very walkable which provides the perfect atmosphere for long walks.
“Salona has taken care of Milo before and she always does a great job! She sends updates when Milo eats and pictures of him playing in the yard. She’s so accommodating of schedule changes too, and I appreciate her so much for taking Milo so last minute on a holiday! I would definitely recommend her care to anyone looking for a sitter 🩷”
“Anthony is so great with the dogs. He's very trustworthy and always my first choice as I know my puppy is in really good hands. Anthony's dogs are very welcoming to my pup as well.”
“Tiffanny is a true animal lover. I’m so happy we chose her to watch our Zeke. She sent pictures and video the entire time she had him. I enjoyed our day knowing our pup was in such great hands. I would not hesitate to leave Zeke with her again. If your looking for a great sitter for your fur baby definitely contact Tiffanny.”
About: I had a dog at home as a kid. Later on when I had my own family we owned a dog for 12 years. Now Willy the Alaskan Husky and myself are best buddies. We take daily long walks and play in the park. I am a retired person. I stayed home most of the time gardening, reading and walking my dogs. I have a 3 bedroom house and a back yard with a lawn and a rose garden We live in a private 3 bedrooms home. We have a nice size back yard with a lawn where the pets roam around. The back yard is fully fenced mostly 6’ high and a portion which is 5’ high.
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved Pup Rocky to the care of Adrian and Jovan, two extraordinary Pup sitters. Their professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals was evident from the moment we met. My Rocky was not only well taken care of but also showered with affection, playtime, and attention. It was clear that Adrian and Jovan went above and beyond to ensure Rocky’s happiness and comfort. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking outstanding and safe care for their furry companions.”
“Greta is and outstanding sitter. Gidget loves to go to her house and play with other pups. I don’t worry about Gidget while I am at work because I know she is not only safe but she is having fun!! She is amazing!!”
About: Growing up on my family ranch, I’ve had 8 dogs and 12 cats. I am well experienced in the level of care, love, and play our fur family members require. Now that I’ve moved for college, to hopefully become an animal rights lawyer, I really miss my fur babies. I have had a range of dogs and understand the needs of various breads. For instance, I’ve had an Italian Mastiff, Chihuahua, Blue Healer, and Terrier. I can promise that all the love and attention I want to be providing for my pets back home, I will be giving to your dogs and cats here. I am currently working a part-time online internship, and I have all the time in the world to be caring for your pets! With my free time, I will be able to stay attentive to your pets needs and take them out on frequent walks, if that’s what they need. It will also mean I can give them endless pets! I live with my partner, who I’ve known since I was 4 years old. His mother is a K-9 search and rescuer so he has grown up training and caring for dogs his whole life. My apartment building has a closed in dog park, which I am considering as the closed in yard. It is incredibly convenient, safe, and great for the dogs! In my home, pets are considered family. This means their needs are seen as just as important as anyone else in the home. Of course, I will respect any guidelines that you provide for the way you want your dog or cat to be cared for. Whether that’s crating, allowed or not allowed on furniture, etc. You know your pets best!

Ciara is the perfect sitter. She kept me updated with photos and videos. She was on time, polite, and overall such a sweet person. You can definitely tell that she’s had years of experience with dogs. I recommend her 100% to anyone that wants their fur babies to be in the best care 💕
Josephine is very calm, patience, and caring. She is quick to respond to messages and kept me updated on how my baby was warming up to her home and pups giving me a peace of mind. Thank you for treating him like one of your own. When I picked up Stud, he was so happy. I feel safe and comfortable leaving my Stud with you again.

Booked just a few hours of doggy daycare. It was a last minute request but Christopher was responsive, nice and friendly. Immediately offered to have a call to learn more about our dog and make sure he and his house would be a good fit. He had a cute dog that was friendly and seemed to get along with ours during his stay. I would not hesitate to book with Christopher again if we needed his help again in the future.
Alexis was so sweet. She and her son cared Bennett over a long day. He took to them quickly :) She was easy to reach for updates, very receptive to all the info on Bennett, she also took tips to learn more about him as he stayed her. I really appreciated the feedback of his stay she gave us especially as it was a first for him to be sat w someone with a young child without us. We had a great experience with Alexis and will definitely reach out again if we need another sitter :)
This was the second time leaving Ginger in Mel's care. You could see that Ginger was treated well the first time based on her demeanor when we arrived. She confidently walked right in and you could tell she was very relaxed this time around. I also felt very comfortable leaving Ginger, knowing that she was in good hands. Thanks again for taking such good care of my little girl, Mel. Hope to be able to use your services again soon.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Ontario
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Ontario on Rover is $39.96 per day (as of July 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 5,529 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Ontario. 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 Ontario 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 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 5,529 sitters in Ontario, 88% 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 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.
