“Catherine continues to be amazing with our dogs. They are always happy to visit and settle in quickly, like it is their second home. Catherine has great patience and understanding with the dogs and they have the upmost of care. We have recommended Catherine to several people as a better option to a kennel. We continue to heartily recommend Catherine!”

Thank you Luke and Thyara !”

We got some wonderful photos of their adventures during the stay. We would definitely leave Avro in Kelly's care again in the future!”
“We are very pleased with the care Kristina and her family provided to our senior golden retriever for a week. She shared regular updates through the app, giving us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog has some age-related needs, and Kristina handled everything with patience and genuine care. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“This was my first experience with the new puppy and using Rover, and I couldn't be more relieved and happy with the experience. Eliana was great: quick to respond, reassuring, and sent loads of pics and updates to this borderline helicopter pawrent. Highly recommend and hope to use again.”

“We had such a great experience with Cathy as our dog sitter! She was incredibly caring and attentive to our dog, Mia. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands while we were away. We especially appreciated the daily updates and photos—she really went the extra mile to keep us connected and reassured. Mia looked happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely recommend Cathy to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and loving dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Mia!”
“Julia saved the day! We left our dog with another caretaker who decided a couple days in that it was not a good fit. He messaged me while I was away in Florida, unable to pick up the dog. At 8pm I was able to find Julia, and not only did she agree to take our dog, but her partner went and picked her up for us. I could have cried. Our dog the went on to have an INCREDIBLE week with Julia and her other dogs. She came back better socialized and more confident. I actually felt sad bringing her home because she seemed to have the best week. Julia said a heartfelt goodbye to our girl and it really seemed that she has such a genuine love for dogs. She will be our permanent dog sitter moving forward and we are so grateful for how she swooped in and saved the day and allowed us to enjoy our trip without worrying.”
“Tanya was awesome as we were a last minute booking. In Ottawa for our son’s wedding we quickly realized our senior dog needed company the night of the wedding and used Rover for the first time. How lucky we are to have found Tanya and have a great experience. Our dog had a sleepover with her and her fur babies and wasn’t lonely one second! And we were able to enjoy the wedding stress free knowing he was well taken care of. Thank you Tanya!”
“This sitter was the best. Extremely professional and kind and caring. Knows her stuff. My dog came home super happy and that makes us happy. A lot of photos videos and updates the way it suppose to be and we appreciate that.”

I wish I could rate 10 stars. My dog was with Bruna for an extended time while we waited for her to be flown back home to Australia, and she was absolutely treated like part of the family. Bruna is 100/10, sent me photos daily and Boo had the best time ever - walks every day, so much love. I am very very thankful to Bruna and her partner and cannot reccomended her enough to anyone who loves their dogs!! Absolutely blown away with the fantastic care!
Really great service! Lots of updates throughout the day! Jeff and his family treated my dog as their own! They were very caring and gentle. They addressed all my concerns and kept me posted the whole time. Would let my dog stay with them in the future in a heartbeat
If you’re ever looking for a dog person to take care of yours - Andrea is the girl to do it! My dog came home so calm and happy, which is all we needed to know. She was very attentive to his needs and gave us updates on a regular basis. I would not hesitate to book with her again!
C'était la 2e fois que nous faisions garder nos 2 chiens par eux, et encore une fois tout s'est super bien passé. Nos chiens étaient très contents de les revoir, ce qui nous a tout de suite rassurés. Ils ont vraiment bien pris soin d'eux et nous avons eu l'esprit tranquille pendant notre absence.
Cassandra is a gem! I felt listened to when communicating the dogs needs, she was interested in learning about their routine, likes and dislikes. She also put all winning combinations forward by meeting the dogs first and allowing them to visit her home before our holidays. You can see she is a true dog lover. Cassandra provided daily updates with pictures, which was very reassuring! Thank you Cassandra!
Audrée took excellent care of Boris while we were away. She treated him as part of her family. I got lots of pics of him sprawled on their bed and with their dog. Also, she’s bilingual! She really helped us when our old Dogsitter canceled 2 days before our trip, and then again when our return flight was cancelled and she took care of Boris for an extra night at the end. We would def recommend Audrée!
Leah looked after our Bernese puppy many times during our stay in Canada, and he absolutely loved his time with her. He was so excited to see her every time, and she was so relaxed and put our kind at ease about everything. She is very professional and communicative, and genuinely lovely person. Thanks again Leah!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gatineau on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 910 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gatineau. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gatineau home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Gatineau
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
