Had an urgent last minute schedule and Steven went out his way to reassure us that we can book at the time we need, which was super super early. Really helped us out a lot with this one and Steven always does so- our dog absolutely loves Steven's dogs as well so we fortunately got to take care of everything while our dog happily stays with his friends. Thanks you always!

About: Je vis avec des chiens depuis plus de 5 ans et je partage mon quotidien avec un berger australien. Je suis à l'aise avec les chiots, les bains, la coupe des griffes et l'administration de médicaments oraux, topiques, et aux soins des petits bobos. J'offre un environnement sécuritaire adapté à leurs besoins, avec jouets, accessoires et barrières et cage au besoin, en plus d'une cours clôturée et d'un super quartier pour se ballader! Je suis à la maison tous les jours, et j'intègre facilement les besoins des nouveaux pensionnaires à ma routine et je passe beaucoup de temps avec eux. On va marcher, s'asseoir dans un parc, et s'il ne fait pas beau on fait des jeux à l'intérieur, de l'obéissance, on apprend des nouveaux tours! Je m'adapte à leurs besoins, et non l'inverse! La sécurité et le bien-être des animaux sont toujours ma priorité. Les chats disposent d'une pièce calme qui leur est entièrement réservée afin de s'acclimater en douceur et d'avoir un espace rassurant aussi longtemps qu'ils en ont besoin. Les rencontres avec mes animaux se font graduellement, sous supervision, et uniquement lorsque le chat est prêt. Pour les chiens, je dispose de barrières de séparation, d'une cage au besoin, ainsi que de jouets et d'accessoires afin de m'adapter à différents tempéraments et habitudes de vie. Si un animal est plus à l'aise en étant séparé ou a besoin d'un environnement plus encadré, je peux facilement répondre à ce besoin. Lors des visites à domicile, je respecte les habitudes de votre compagnon afin qu'il conserve ses repères. Je peux administrer des médicaments, et offrir toute l'attention nécessaire pendant votre absence.

Melissa is the dog goddess ! Caring, loving, attentive, she has been koda and myto’s angel. When I parked the truck in front of her house the dogs just go there on their own tap wagging and smile on the face ! You can’t go wrong leaving your fur baby with Melissa. She is the best in town - the dogs and I love her 😍

Harrison was AMAZING with our dog Beto! He was caring and patient with our dog, prepared for the settling-in process, and knew how to properly adapt our dog to his place. He provided a lot of information during the stay (pics, videos, texts), and the best part: he gave us valuable tips about our dog's diet and socialization process, like how better train him, better leashes, and his overall behavior with other people and dogs. I couldn't recommend him more!

About: My partner and I have been caring for dogs together for years through Rover, building a strong track record of happy pets and glowing reviews on his profile. Now that we have moved to Montreal, I am starting my own account so local dog parents can book us directly. Same team, same care, same love. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted us to walk, feed, bathe, and keep their pets happy and comfortable. We also foster dogs and are actively involved with a rescue organization here in Montreal, so we are experienced with dogs of all backgrounds, temperaments, and needs. We are excited to bring that same warmth and dedication to pups here. We treat every dog like our own. We work as a team, so your dog always has someone around. We are available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walks, and we will make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, outdoor time, and love every single day. We both work from home :) We live in a pet friendly apartment with a balcony, giving your pup fresh air and a change of scenery throughout the day. Our home is calm, clean, and set up with your dog’s comfort and safety in mind. We have no pets of our own, so your dog gets our full, undivided attention. We are happy to follow any routines, dietary needs, or rules you have in place to make your pup feel right at home.

About: I worked as a professional dog groomer for almost 10 years and also have experience working at a dog daycare, so I’m comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs, as well as small and large breeds. I have a small Pomeranian named Brie. She is 2 years old, weighs 2.5 kg, and is full of energy! She absolutely loves playing with other dogs and is the center of my world. Because of her, I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can completely trust to care for your pet. I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day and will rarely be left alone. If I ever need to step out, it’s only for a short errand, and I always make sure your dog is safe and comfortable. Every dog has their own routine, and I believe it’s important to keep them as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I carefully follow all the instructions you provide, from feeding schedules and medication (if needed) to potty breaks, playtime, and walking routines. Whether your dog prefers several short walks throughout the day or longer adventures, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I live just minutes from Angrignon Park, which is a wonderful place for enriching walks, fresh air, and plenty of new sights and smells for dogs who enjoy exploring. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide exceptional care for your dog and complete peace of mind for you. Because I work from home, dogs in my care receive plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day and are rarely left alone. I also believe in keeping each dog as comfortable as possible by following the their routine, from feeding schedules and medications (if needed) to walks, playtime, and rest.

About: Hello everyone! I've always been a passionate animal lover. Growing up, I was surrounded by pets; I had a parrot, 2 cats, and a dog, and they taught me what unconditional love looks like. I have more than 16 years of experience caring for dogs, and I offer basic training with treats (sit/down/stay/come). A walk in the park is therapeutic, especially with a buddy by my side I truly cherish time spent with pets and am inspired by their perspective. To me, happiness is cuddles and long walks with a wagging tail beside me. Pets understand us like no one else does, and that bond means the world to me. The connection between pets and people never stops amazing me, I can't get enough of it. My curiosity drives me to understand each pet individually, so I can care for them in the way that suits them best. I promise your buddy will be loved, well cared for, and always excited to come back to me! :) I work from home, I am pretty flexible. I take breaks to go to the park on lunch and evening, I would love to have some company! I am observative and attentive to pets needs, I walk and feed pets on time and they're always happy to see me again! We become good friends :)

About: Les chiens ont toujours occupé une grande place dans nos vies. On a tous les deux grandi avec eux et on a adoré chaque instant. Au fil des années, on a partagé notre maison avec un basset hound, un bouvier bernois, un toy poodle, un carlin et un berger de pologne, et on les a tous entraînés nous-mêmes. Chacun avait sa propre personnalité et son propre tempérament, et chacun nous a appris quelque chose de nouveau ! On est un couple actif et on adore vraiment emmener les chiens en course ou en longue balade. On n'a pas de chien à la maison en ce moment, alors honnêtement, ce serait un vrai plaisir de se balader et de courir avec le vôtre. Que votre chien soit du genre canapé ou débordant d'énergie, on s'adaptera à son rythme et à son style. Dogs have always been a big part of our lives. We both grew up with them and loved every moment of it. Over the years, we've shared our home with a basset hound, a bernese mountain dog, a toy poodle, a pug, and a polish lowland sheepdog, and trained them all ourselves. Each one had their own personality and temperament, and each one taught us something new! We're an active couple and genuinely love bringing dogs along for runs or long walks. We currently don't have a dog at home, so honestly, it would be such a pleasure to go on walks and runs with yours. Whether your pup is a couch potato or a bundle of energy, we will adapt and match their style. On travaille tous les deux de la maison la plupart du temps, ce qui nous donne une belle flexibilité dans nos journées. On peut facilement intégrer des visites et des promenades à notre routine, sans que ça soit fait à la va-vite. Que ce soit une balade le matin, un check-in en milieu de journée ou une visite en après-midi, on s'adapte à l'horaire de votre animal. We both work from home most days, which means our days are pretty flexible. We can easily fit drop-in visits and dog walks into our routine without it feeling rushed. Whether it's a morning walk, a midday check-in, or an afternoon visit, we're able to adapt to your pet's schedule rather than the other way around! Quand on se rend chez vous, notre priorité c'est que votre animal se sente en sécurité et à l'aise dans son propre espace. On sait que les animaux sont toujours plus détendus dans un environnement familier, alors on respecte leurs routines, leurs habitudes, et on prend le temps de laisser les animaux plus timides ou nerveux apprivoiser notre présence à leur propre rythme. Pour les promenades, on reste attentifs en tout temps. On observe le langage corporel, on reste dans des zones sécuritaires et on s'assure que chaque sortie soit une belle expérience pour votre chien. Votre maison et votre animal sont entre des mains attentionnées et bienveillantes ! When we come to your home, our priority is making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own space. We know that animals are always more relaxed in a familiar environment, so we follow their routines, respect their habits, and take the time to let shy or nervous pets warm up to us at their own pace. For dog walks, we stay attentive at all times. We keep an eye on body language, stay in safe areas, and make sure every outing is a good experience for your pup. Your home and your pet are in careful, caring hands!

We took our dog Harry with us on a weekend trip to Montreal, and he was not great at being alone in the hotel. I reached out to several sitters on Rover, and Sarah responded within seconds! She gladly took Harry for 2 daycare days. He got to play with other dogs versus sitting alone, which was amazing for him. Sarah was great, and Harry was very happy to go back on day 2. Thank you Sarah!

I cannot say enough good things about Amy and her boyfriend They took such incredible care of Dolce while I was away—it honestly felt like leaving my dog with a trusted family member. Daily updates, adorable photos, and genuine attention to my dog’s routine made all the difference. When I came home, Dolce was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It gave me total peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I will absolutely be booking with Amy again—highly, highly recommended!

About: Taking care of dogs has always been a part of my life from an early age. I grew up with my dog, Lady; and dog sitting for my neighbours. I also have experience in special needs dog sanctuaries. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! As a part-time university student, I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to focus on your pup’s needs—whether that’s long walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I treat every client’s home with the same respect I would my own. I follow all instructions carefully—from feeding routines to walk schedules and house rules. I make sure pets feel safe and loved in their familiar space, keeping their routines consistent to reduce stress while you’re away. I also can keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet (and home!) are in good hands.

Yuning and Jack are wonderful dog-sitters. My work schedule varies from day to day and they are very accommodating for drop-off and pickup times. Jack is usually the one looking after the dogs and it is evident he likes my dog and my dog likes him. He takes my dog for regular walks and sends me photos throughout the day. I can tell my dog is excited when we get near their place, so I know she is happy to spend the day there. I would not hesitate to recommend Jack and Yuning to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Côte-Saint-Luc

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Côte-Saint-Luc 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 981 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Côte-Saint-Luc. About 87% of Côte-Saint-Luc 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 Côte-Saint-Luc 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. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% 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.
