“We had a great experience with Yujung. She was very responsive, kept us updated with regular messages and photos, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for and happy. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!”
“Emily and her family did an amazing job taking care of Laddie for 2 weeks while we were away. She sent pictures, videos, and updates often. Laddie was so happy meeting her and staying with her. Thank you so much!”
“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!”
“Akanksha and her husband were wonderful care providers for our Yorkie, Mika. They sent us daily updates and reached out promptly with any questions. It’s clear that she and her husband have a love of animals and are committed to providing excellent care. I highly recommend!”
“Kailyn was wonderful with Ghost. He was so happy when we picked him off. She sent lots of photos and updates, and had questions at the meet and greet for how best to make Ghost comfortable. We will be definitely booking with Kailyn in the future!”
“Miaozi was a fantastic sitter! She took great care to learn all about what my dog needed and accommodate his needs. She took him on plenty of walks and provided regular updates. Her warm, calm energy was perfect for my timid dog. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you!!”
“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.”
“Ryan is a dog whisperer. He went above and beyond with socializing my anxious, reactive dog with other dogs and I’m endlessly grateful. I’m actually very excited to send her to his house again next time we need to! Charlotte seemed very happy and even came home with a few new tricks!”
“Sasha and Patrick took great care of our dog. They were very responsive and even helped us out with some training. I would ask Sasha and Patrick to sit our dog again!”
“Debbie took great care of our two dogs over the weekend. We dropped off our senior lab and our energetic teen retriever— and they settled in great. She provided updates, photos, and was easily reachable/ easy to communicate with. She seemed to have great experience with not just dogs but animals in general. We’d book with Debbie again without hesitation.”
“Penelope and Maxime took great care of Flicka during her stay. They were kind, reliable, and kept us well informed throughout the weekend, giving us complete peace of mind. Flicka came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely trust them with her again. Highly recommended! 😀 Penelope et Maxime se sont très bien occupés de Flicka pendant son séjour. Ils ont été attentionnés, fiables et nous ont bien tenus au courant tout au long de la fin de semaine, ce qui nous a vraiment rassurés. Flicka est revenue heureuse et en pleine forme. Nous n’hésiterons pas à leur confier Flicka de nouveau. Nous les recommandons sans hésitation 😀”
“Gerald took great care of Trey on short notice. 5/5, would definitely recommend considering him for your dog care needs. He showed a great amount of interest in Trey’s wellbeing and ensuring that he was well taken care of. Gerald also provided regular updates during Trey’s stay.”
“Laura is a jewell My dog is not friendly with new people, and he connect inmediatly with her thanks to her patience and calm For me leaving my dog is never easy, but with Laura I just feel super reassured that he is in the best hands and care ever I will repeat forever with her as I feel that for Felix is now like a second home I will never be thankfull enough for all her kindness”
“Eliana and her partner are fantastic. They took good care of my 5 months old puppy, which could be very challenging. She updated me with photos everyday, also messaged me any issue or situations very on time. I would definitely recommend Eliana.”
“Penny had a great time with Duane, Anna and especially their son. We were provided lots of updates about her walks and playtime. Penny was not used to being around cats and was scared by thunder storms but Duane was understanding of that and patient with Penny.

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.
My Italian Greyhound Snoopy LOVES to go see Bruna and Perogie! He gets a ton of exercise, play and socialization with other dogs, and individual attention even when there are other dogs with him. Bruna and family are communicative, friendly, and genuinely care about and love every dog like their own. I have brought Snoopy to them several times in the past year and will continue to do so!
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!
Caralyn & Ethan C recently took my cat into their loving home for almost a month while I was travelling. They were very helpful and warm and communicated well with me to ensure that all my cat’s necessities, vet information and means to communicate with me were sorted out in advance of the dropoff day. I received adorable little updates and photos of my pet living her best life in their care - it was very comforting. They also brought my cat in for a checkup one evening and kept me posted every step of the way. I highly recommend Caralyn & Ethan C to any cat parents out there who want to KNOW that their cat is going to be loved and well looked after. Having that kind of peace of mind helped me actually make the most of my trip and not just be agonizing over not being with my cat. Thank you!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Gatineau on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 940 sitters on Rover offering Pet Boarding across Gatineau. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

- 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.
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.
