“Rosie provided exceptional dog sitting services! Her regular updates and photos kept us reassured, and our dog quickly felt comfortable and happy in her care. Highly recommend Rosie for anyone seeking reliable and caring dog sitting!!!”
“We are happy repeat customers of Brianna! It makes travelling worry free when we know that our dog and cat are in such safe hands. Our large dog, Ronnie, gets so excited a block away from her getting to her place, and is excited to be dropped off! This makes the process so much easier, knowing Ronnie is so happy and well taken care of. They went on so many long walks too, getting lots of smells in, and getting lots of excersice! Our attention -seeking cat got so many cuddles and lots of attention as well! Thank you Brianna!”
“Wow is all I can say!! Jason and his family are incredible people!! I fell sick and ended up hospitalized while Mavis was with Jason. Without hesitation he agreed to keep Mavis and kept her for several extra days. They also took amazing care of our girl. They were an absolute life saver!!”
“Mme Sylvie was very kind and gentle with our 4-years old dog that we left for boarding for the first time. Our dog was comfortable with her very quickly. I would definitely book with her again. Highly recommended.”
“Judy is a wonderful dogsitter. Our pup was delighted to spend time with her. You know when there is a connection and genuine love for dogs - Judy is that person. So grateful that we can have a peace of mind when we have to leave our puppy for a few days with Judy.”
“Sure! Here’s a polished review for Andrea Giselle: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic experience with Andrea Giselle as our dog sitter! From the start, she made us feel completely at ease about leaving our beloved pet, Keke, in her care. She was attentive, responsible, and genuinely loving toward him. We especially appreciated the regular updates on his daily activities, which reassured us that he was happy and well cared for. It’s clear that Andrea has a true passion for animals, and we wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Keke again in the future. Highly recommend! Romy & Andre’s Ruiz”

“This was my pup’s third stay and I think she has more fun with every stay. Judging from all the pics and videos I received, her vacation consisted of running in the yard with her friends and lounging by the pool. A pretty great doggy vacation! She is already asking when she gets to go back 😀 So thankful for Lynda knowing there is a place that is safe and fun for your dog to stay.”

“Gordia was very responsive from the beginning and took great care of our 13 year old Maltese girl during the four days we needed help. She met with us before the actual appointment which was very useful and sent un regular updates and pictures during the time she took care of our dog. She took her for walks and followed all our instructions regarding her special diet. We would have no hesitation to book her services again and we recommend her warmly to other pet parents who are looking for a sitter for their pets.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gatineau
I genuinely don’t know what I would have done without Abigael. I was unexpectedly separated from Winnie during an incredibly stressful situation, and from the moment Abigael stepped in, she treated Winnie as though she were her own. She went so far beyond what I ever could have expected from a dog boarder. She picked Winnie up from the airport, bought things for her, cared for her, comforted her, played with her, and most importantly, gave her so much love when I couldn’t physically be there to do it myself. She sent me updates every hour, which meant more to me than I can explain. I never had to wonder if Winnie was okay—I could see that she was safe, happy, comfortable, and being completely spoiled. Abigael also took on the responsibility of getting Winnie back to the airport and dropping her off at cargo so she could finally make the rest of her journey home to me. She handled everything with so much kindness and care during a situation that was stressful and completely unexpected. I will forever be grateful to Abigael for the kindness, patience, care, and genuine love she showed Winnie. She didn’t just look after my puppy—she loved her for me when I couldn’t be there to do it myself. That is something I will never forget. There are very few people I would trust completely with my girl, but Abigael is absolutely one of them. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog as more than just an animal in her care, but as someone precious and deeply loved, I cannot recommend Abigael enough. Winnie was incredibly lucky to have her, and so was I. ❤️🐾
Ryan was exceptional. This was my first time boarding Otis, so I was nervous about the entire process. Ryan made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. The amount of updates and pictures I received was wonderful! Ryan's experience and knowledge of dogs' behavior and dynamics really impressed me. He makes it a priority to ensure that all dogs are comfortable and happy, and Otis became great friends with the other dogs he was boarding with. He truly cares about the dogs, and it shows. All of my expectations were exceeded, and I'm excited for Otis' next visit!
Yao and her friend were absolutely fantastic with Willow! At our arrival, they greeted us warmly and spent lots of time reassuring our nervous dog. We received regular updates and photos. Communication was wonderful! We definitely will be going back for a visit or a sleepover soon!
It's always a leap of faith to leave one's little friends (in my case, two cats) in the care of someone new and unknown, but it worked out perfectly with Caralyn and Ethan. Our cats took to them right away, and were very relaxed and comfortable in the photos we received, and in person when we picked them up. They clearly had a great time, and received lots of love and attention. Caralyn and Ethan will be my first choice to look after them again in the future, and I have no hestitation in recommending them to take care of your pets. When I was away on vacation, it was great knowing my kitties were also having a comfortable and safe vacation.
Jeff and his partner were absolutely amazing with our 9-month-old puppy. Great communication, very attentive to our dog’s needs, and went above and beyond to make our dog’s stay magical. Our first meeting left us feeling very comfortable and confident that our dog would have a wonderful time. We definitely recommend Jeff and his partner! :)
Francia and her family were absolutely wonderful! From the moment I met them, I felt completely at ease knowing our Golden Retriever was in such caring hands. Our girl had an amazing stay and loved spending time with their two wonderful dogs. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, which means everything to us. One thing I especially appreciated was receiving photos of her every day. It was so reassuring to see how happy she was and made us feel connected while we were away. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our precious Golden. We wouldn't hesitate to book with you again and will definitely reach out the next time we need a loving home away from home for her. Highly recommended! ‐--------- ¡Francia y su familia fueron absolutamente maravillosos! Desde el momento en que los conocí, me sentí completamente tranquila dejando a nuestra Golden Retriever con ellos. Nuestra perrita pasó una estancia increíble y disfrutó muchísimo de la compañía de sus dos adorables perros. Regresó a casa feliz, relajada y claramente muy bien cuidada, lo cual significa muchísimo para nosotros. Algo que aprecié muchísimo fue recibir fotos de ella todos los días. Fue muy reconfortante verla tan feliz y saber que estaba disfrutando de su estancia. ¡Muchas gracias por cuidar tan bien de nuestra querida Golden! Sin duda volveremos a contactarlos la próxima vez que necesitemos un hogar lleno de cariño para ella. ¡Los recomendamos totalmente!
Shuvendu took excellent care of our cat, Chester, while we were away on vacation. We were especially anxious about leaving him because, just a few days before our trip, Chester had been scratched in the eye during a fight. The vet diagnosed him with a corneal ulcer, and he needed four or five different medications, including eye drops. From our first conversation, Shuvendu was easy to communicate with, and the drop-off process was smooth and reassuring. We were still nervous about leaving Chester in someone else’s care while he was recovering, but Shuvendu quickly put our minds at ease. He sent us updates and photos every day, kept us informed about Chester’s condition, and made sure all of his medications were given properly. It was clear that Chester was being treated with patience, kindness, and genuine care. Being able to enjoy our vacation without constantly worrying about him meant so much to us. We are incredibly grateful to Shuvendu and would not hesitate to trust him with Chester again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and compassionate cat sitter.
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.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Gatineau on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 pet, 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
