About: I will care for your pet as if it were mine. I am an all around animal lover. I don't own a dog but I do have a cat. Spending time with your pet will be important to me because it will mean that your mind is at ease. Your busy schedule won't allow you to be with your pet all the time and that is what I am here for! I can give your dog a good brush and belly rub and a good walk and/or play time at the dog park. I may not have full time dog experience but that will not prevent me from giving them the attention and care they deserve. I am happy to help when available. Don’t hesitate to reach out. I work away from home four days a week and am available on weekends. I will care for your pet as if it were my own. If they are high energy I will play with them. If they are low energy, I will give them cuddles. It all depends on the animal and what they need.

About: I have previous experience with all kinds of animals. I’ve worked on farms milking cows, helped train puppies, been a cat mom, and will love your pets the same way you do. I’m currently a student in university which allows for lots of flexibility to include pet care within my schedule. I am an active individual who takes lots of daily walks!

Also, when I care for dogs, I ensure that I have eyes on them at all times due make sure they are safe and not getting into any trouble. I will always be wary of dog's personality and will listen to any request you may have regarding the safety of your dog. All in all, my experience with cats and dogs have given me the opportunity to make certain that they are safe and well-cared for.

About: Bonjour et bienvenue sur mon profil🐶🐈 ! Grande amoureuse et passionnée des animaux, je débute sur Rover avec beaucoup d’enthousiasme et de sérieux. Étudiante en droit, je souhaite allier plaisir et travail en prenant soin de vos compagnons comme s’ils étaient les miens. J’ai de l’expérience en gardiennage d’animaux, autant avec une autre application qu’auprès de ma famille et de mes amis. J’ai l’habitude de m’occuper de chiens et de chats, parfois plusieurs en même temps. J’ai élevé deux chiens, dont un border collie que j’ai depuis qu’elle était chiot et qui a aujourd’hui 10 ans. J’ai aussi travaillé dans des fermes et pratiqué l’équitation pendant plusieurs années, ce qui a renforcé ma passion et mon aisance avec les animaux. Ma passion pour les animaux se reflète également dans mon domaine d'étude où j'ai eu la chance d'être stagiaire en droit pour l'organisme bénévole Droit Animalier Québec. Sérieuse, attentionnée et disponible, je m’engage à offrir à votre animal toute l’attention, l’affection et les soins dont il a besoin. Avec moi, votre compagnon sera entre de bonnes mains 🐾 Je suis actuellement étudiante en droit et je n’ai pas d’emploi pour le moment. Je cherche donc un moyen de m’amuser tout en gagnant un peu d’argent pendant mes études. J’ai beaucoup de temps libre et j’adore les animaux, donc m’occuper d’eux me semble être une expérience à la fois enrichissante et agréable. Pour moi, pouvoir allier plaisir, soin des animaux et petite rémunération serait vraiment idéal ! Je sais m'adapter selon les besoins de votre animal. Si votre chien a besoin de dépenser de l'énergie je peux le faire faire des tours ou le promener durant la visite. Je suis habituée à plusieurs types de personnalité. Que ce soit les chiens/chats plus calmes, Mais qui ont besoin de plus d'affection, je suis là pour ça !
About: Caring for animals has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember.Now at this time in my life I have the time, patience, and genuine love to devote to every pet I look after. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic care, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My calm attentive nature helps animals feel comfortable and secure, especially those who may be shy or anxious. I am currently retired and have open availability. I have taken care of my own pets over the years and I'm looking forward to taking care of yours. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and attentive in your home, and I take pride in being reliable, respectful, and detail-oriented.

About: I'm currently a horse back riding coach. I've pet sit for many animals like dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, hamsters, snakes, and geckos. I've walked and trained many dogs throughout the years. I've worked on a farm with horses, pigs, goats, alpacas, geese, and chickens. I'm currently working part time so I'll have lots of time for pet care! Typically I'm working and won't be available Tuesdays 9-5 & Thursdays 8-4:30 However this isn't the case every week so feel free to ask! Working with animals for so many years safety is always my top priority. I notice what's happening in the home or on walks that could be a hazard. I have quick reaction time and am super patient with animals. I'll take the time to get to know your pet. There favorite spot to be scratched, how they learn best, and their favorite toy!
About: With three years of experience working on a farm and taking care of love ones dogs and cats, I've had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of animals, from the smallest kittens to the largest livestock. This hands-on background has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and the skills to confidently look after pets of all sizes and breeds, ensuring they receive the best possible care. As a devoted stay-at-home dog mom, my days revolve around my furry family members. This means I'm always available to give your pup constant companionship, endless belly rubs, and all the attention they could ever want. My flexible schedule ensures they get regular walks, playtime, and a comforting presence throughout the day, just like my own dogs do. My home features a secure, fenced yard, offering a safe and fun space for your dog to play and explore. While I love giving pups plenty of freedom, I also understand that some dogs are more comfortable in a crate, or that it might be your preferred method. Rest assured, I'm fully prepared and able to provide a comfortable crating option if that's what your dog needs.
About: I have taken care of my 10 dogs back home for many years. I have cooked, fed, groomed and taken care of them all by myself for years. For a majority of them, I've done this since the day they were born. I recently moved to Canada and I'm missing them terribly so I am eager to look after dogs in general! I go to university, so the days I do not have classes I can do the things I need anywhere. I can take them out for walks frequently, feed them on your desired schedule, play with them often and just generally give them attention and love! I currently do not have any other dogs in my current home so I am able to give your dog the maximum and utmost attention they require and deserve.
About: For as long as I can remember, I have always loved all pets and animals. Growing up in Italy, my family always loved to have a non-human family member to take care of. My fondest childhood memories were playing with our labrador retriever, Lola, and later adopting another dog named Spenk (named after a popular anime cartoon charater in Italy at the time) in my adolescence. We also had pet chipmunks at one time! I continued living with and taking care of dogs while I lived with host families in Austrailia and New Zealand in my 20s. When I moved to Canada and later met my now-wife, she was a dogsitter through Rover. It was through her that I was able to discover this opportunity and help her with the various responsibilities that came with petsitting. I find taking care of pets in this way to be so rewarding - it boosted my mood, and helped get me moving! Unfortunately, my wife is no longer able to continue being a petsitter due to the committments of her current full-time job. However, since moving to the National Capital Region, we have regularly watched our friends' pets, both at our house and theirs. We both agree, that we really hope to have a pet of our own one day, but for now the best way to fill that void is for me to continue petsitting. I always find it so exciting to have a new "friend" be apart of my day that I can't help but give them my undivided attention. No matter this age, size, or energy level of your pet, I will always stive to give them the exact amount of play, walks, bathroom breaks, treats, and overall attention they may need. We're very lucky to live in a very walk-able neighbourhood near the Gatineau River and Lac Leamy, so regular walks are doable. Pet owners need to have a great deal of trust in their petsitters. Whenever I watch pets, I love to have constant communication with the owner - sending them regular updates and photos throughout the day. Even if their pet is having no problems and seemingly a very happy time, it's still important that the owners know that so they feel more at ease. We thankfully have a very large backyard which would make bathroom breaks very easy, however, at the moment our yard is not fenced, so I would only feel comfortable taking them on bathroom breaks both on-leash and supervised. We're very lucky to live in a very walk-able neighbourhood near the Gatineau River and Lac Leamy, so regular walks are doable. Additionally, we live in a bungalow with a door that closes, so we can block off stairs if that is also a concern for you.

About: Hi! We are Margo and Gabriel. It would be our pleasure to hang out with your dog while you're out! We love walking around the city and nearby parks (we're lucky to be in a great area!), and we're looking for some fluffy little buddies to keep us company and keep things interesting! We're both mature students living downtown, so we're around the apartment quite a bit (we mostly work from home). This means we can be sure to devote as much attention as needed to you pet. We offer a warm, cozy home with ample space and lot's of love. Your dog will feel right at home!

Bella s'est très bien occupée de Moose durant sa marche. Moose est vieux, pas mal grincheux et antisocial avec les autres animaux. Bella adapte la marche pour lui et fais attention aux autres animaux autour pour le protéger et s'assurer qu'il profite de sa marche le plus possible.

Sophie went above and beyond walking my dog, Zelda, while I was away. She was punctual, responsible, and genuinely cared about Zelda’s well-being. Knowing Zelda was getting plenty of exercise, attention, and love during her walks gave me real peace of mind. I absolutely trust Sophie and would recommend her without hesitation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Gatineau on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,356 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Gatineau. About 85% of Gatineau 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.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Gatineau. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Gatineau.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Gatineau with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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 .

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 walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Gatineau choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
