One of the best experiences we had in terms of boarding. Our dog stayed with Akanksha for 1 night and it was great. She kept sending us updates and Pablo looked very happy. Definitely recommended

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.

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.

Cathy took care of my dog, Luna, for several days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Luna ended up having an upset stomach during her stay, and Cathy’s support was truly A+. She handled the situation calmly, responsibly, and with great care, keeping me updated so I never felt 100% worried. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I’m very grateful for her help and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Luna again. Highly recommended!

We ended up at Jeff’s very last minute, nevertheless Jeff and his wife were very thorough and accommodating. They let our fur baby get comfortable with their house and other dogs before confirmation of the booking. We really appreciated how thorough they were. Our dog was instantly at ease in their home. She had a great time at their place. She was taken on regular walks and got playtime with other dogs there. Her routine was followed as requested. We got regular updates. She was very comfortable at their place and got very comfortable with Jeff and his wife. Jeff’s place will be our go to place in Ottawa for boarding our dog. We are thankful to both of them for looking after our fur baby so well.

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!

Nathalie was the most accommodating and wonderful dog sitter for Charlotte.

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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Gatineau

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.
