About: I talk to my dog like she is an understanding human. I sometimes wonder if all owners do that too. If you dog like hugs I do too! A let is a priory like any child. They need humans for their basics needs, but also for attention, love and walking in the beautiful nature. They all love walking, don’t they. Either your pet is with me at my place or at your place: they should be safe and cozy and able to relax, and so should you. Have total peace of mind.
“Andrée is a perfect rover! She is always very responsible and responsive! I can definitely tell jelly really enjoyed his time with Andree. I will definitely come back if we revisit mont tremblant in the future.”
“It was my first time leaving my dogs with a different person and I think they had a great time because they are so tired and just want to sleep, thank you so much and I really appreciate the pictures as well!”
About: I have loved and understood animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats. I am an experienced pet caregiver who currently provides regular dog walking services and occasional boarding for local families. I also have personal experience caring for a senior dog, so I understand the gentle attention, patience, and special care older pets need. In my house, your animals will truly feel at home, surrounded by love and comfort. I work from early morning until about 2:00 or 3:00 PM every day, which leaves my afternoons open for dog walks! Since I am always home during the evenings and overnight so your pets will have constant company, plenty of attention, and a consistent routine while they are in my care. Safety is very important for me. I live far from busy roads and have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play securely. My household includes one friendly dog and two cats. Inside my home, your pet can enjoy our shared living spaces or have their own private room if they prefer a quieter environment. I am happy to crate your dog if needed and will strictly follow any specific dietary or care routines. When providing care or walking services at your home, I will follow all instructions given to keep your pet's routine consistent and safe.
“Awesome sitters! Needed to have someone look after Johny for a couple of hours and can say he definitely had a good time. Good communication and constant updates before and during his stay as well.”
About: J’ai de l’expérience avec des chiens provenant de refuges, donc je suis à l’aise avec des chiens qui peuvent être anxieux, en adaptation ou qui demandent plus de patience. Je prends le temps de respecter leur rythme et de les mettre en confiance. Je suis quelqu’un de fiable et j’accorde beaucoup d’importance au respect des consignes (routine, alimentation, médication s’il y a lieu). Je m’assure que le chien garde ses repères pour réduire le stress. Je suis attentive, constante et je prends ça au sérieux. Mon objectif est que le chien soit bien pendant votre absence, tout simplement. Les services s’intègrent facilement à ma routine puisque je travaille de la maison. Je suis donc disponible tout au long de la journée pour m’occuper des chiens, les sortir et leur donner de l’attention. J’ai une cour semi clôturée pour les sorties, et ils peuvent aussi passer du temps sur le balcon à observer ce qui se passe dehors (leur petite “TV de chien”). Ça permet une routine simple, avec de la présence et des moments tranquilles dans la journée. À mon domicile, tout est déjà adapté puisque j’ai moi-même un chien, donc l’environnement est sécuritaire et “pet proof”. Je m’assure de respecter la routine de chaque chien (repas, sorties, moments de repos) et de m’adapter à ses besoins. Les chiens ont accès à un espace calme à l’intérieur, ainsi qu’à la cour et au balcon sous supervision. Je privilégie une approche tranquille, avec de l’attention et un environnement stable pour qu’ils se sentent bien pendant leur séjour.
“My dog Scrufus was kept by Sylvie and is very knowledgeable and experienced in minding dogs. She kept me sending pics of my dog and texting me how my dog is doing. Which reassured me that I have confidence in Sylvie.”
“Loretta was incredible with our dog Isla. She made arrangements to take our pet last minute and made sure she was well taken care of. Isla got to socialize with her own two pups and she took her for several walks and made her feel comfortable. Highly recommend Loretta and will use her again when we’re in town.”
About: I am deeply concerned about the well being of all living beings. I am more than happy to provide services for your pet and plants if needed and can attend to light housework as well. I am retired and this have a great deal of time on my hands hands. Looking forward to offering my services to the community to help them take care of the companions. I will be installing a fence very shortly but for the time being all walks with be done with a leash. I have two acres of property in the Laurentians on a lake.
About: Our experience petsitting has been so inspiring and eye-opening. Petsitting has enabled us to live and visit Leeds (UK), Halifax, Montreal, Brossard, St-Bruno, Quebec (Canada) Vermont, New Hampshire (USA) and Seville (Spain). We are so grateful for the opportunities that petsitting has opened up for us. The sits have ranged from 2 weeks - 1 month at a time, with pets ranging from young to elderly dogs, young to old cats, rabbits, fish and more. We have experience administering medication and supporting the animals through end-of-life care. Taking care of plants is also a joy of ours! The animals we have cared for hold a special place in our hearts and it's always difficult saying goodbye. I am currently an online English teacher, starting their own teaching academy, so I work remotely and love to give love and affection to animals whilst I work. I work remotely, so if you have needy pets, we will be at home the majority of the time! Our apartment can only hold one small dog and one cat at a time, we do not have a garden however, we take the dogs out for several walks and toilet breaks.
“Daniela did an amazing job watching our fur babies. Vito took to her right away and ran right to her. She’s definitely a dog person! I like that she was very responsive and flexible. I would definitely ask her to watch Vito again when we’re in town.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Barkmere on Rover is $55.5 per day (as of June 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 41 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Barkmere. About 96% of Barkmere 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 Barkmere 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 QC 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
