Amazing experience with Nomida on! We’ll definitely book with her again whenever we need to. Billy had a fantastic time and was truly treated with so much love and care. Nomida was attentive, reliable, and made us feel completely at ease from the start. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent us photos regularly, which really reassured this dog mom’s heart (haha!). Billy came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. Highly recommend! 🐾

About: (English message below) Bonjour 🐕 Nous proposons nos services parce que nous sommes conscients qu'un bon gardienage nécessite de l'attention 👀, de l'amour ❤️, du temps et de la patience 🦮⏳, mais aussi du respect des regles que chaque proprietaire inculque a leur chien (education, repect des repas, des sorties etc). Mon conjoint, Jonathan, et moi même avons eu des chiens une majeur partie de notre vie, j'ai également travaillé à la SPCA. Joe télétravail et gardera toujours un œil sur les besoins de votre Pitou si jamais je dois faire des commissions. De son coté, il a également vécu la majeur partie de sa vie avec des animaux. Nous pouvons nous occuper de chiens qui necessite des soins particuliers 🩹 ; nous avons eu un chien epileptique, nous conaissons donc les gestes adaptés pour que tout ce passe en douceur avec votre pitou. Je suis la majeure partie du temps à la maison, votre pitou aura donc toujours de la presence entre Joe et moi :) Nous n'avons pas d'animal à poils donc si votre pitou est anxieux d'etre en compagnie de chien ou chat, la voie est libre ; de meme pour nos balades, si vous souhaitez eviter les croisades avec d'autres chiens, ce n'est pas un probleme, nous habitons un quartier proches de rues tranquilles. A savoir que je peux garder 2 chiens en meme temps mais qui proviennent du meme foyer, je veux respecter les conditions de chacun des proprietaires donc si une reservation est faite entre nous, rassurez vous que je bloquerai la/les dates seulement pour votre / vos pitou(s) et ne sera pas en contact avec d'autres :) Il est important à savoir aussi que nous nettoyons et désinfectons tout les jouets / lits / gamelles que nous avons à disposition chez nous ainsi que les sols après chaque passage d'animaux 🙂 Si vous prevoyez un retard sur la recuperation de votre pitou, par securite et legalite je devrais mettre a jour la reservation. ----------- Hello ! 🐕 We are offering our services because we know that good pet sitting requires attention 👀, love ❤️, time and patience 🦮⏳, but also respect for the rules each owner sets for their dog (training, feeding schedules, walks, etc.). We've had dogs for most of our life, and I worked at the SPCA few years ago. Joe works remotely and will always keep an eye on your dog's needs if I ever need to run by some food or other. He, too, has lived most of his life with animals. We are able to care for dogs that need special attention 🩹 — we've had an epileptic dog ourselves, so we know how to handle delicate situations calmly and gently. I am at home most of the time, so your pup will always have company with Joe and me :) We don’t have any furry animals at home, so if your dog is anxious around other pets (dogs or cats), it’s not an issue; same goes for walks — if you'd prefer to avoid crossing paths with other dogs, we can make that happen too. Please note that I can look after 2 dogs at the same time, but they must come from the same household. I want to respect each owner's conditions, so if a reservation is made between us, rest assured that I will block the date(s) only for your dog(s) and will not be in contact with any others :) We can mention as well that we clean all the toys / beds / bowls that we have here and the floors after each sittings 🙂 If you anticipate a delay in picking up your dog, for safety and legal reasons I should update the reservation. Je suis donc très flexible concernant les moments de la journée mais également les jours de la semaine/fin de semaine. Je serai ravie de faire autant de ballades que nécessaire pour votre pitou. Quand à Jonathan, il télétravail donc est à la maison 7/7 ‐------------ I am flexible with the days and hours of availability. I'll be more than happy to have a stroll as much as needed for your companion 🐾 Jonathan is working from home so he'll be there 7/7 Appartement propre et rangé, rien ne traine au sol, je sais à quelle vitesse un pitou peux se deplacer lorsqu'il voit une merveille à terre. Nous respectons vos consignes, je pourrai vous detailler la/les journée(s) sur demande, je prendrai egalement des photos pour que vous soyez rassurés :) -------- Clean and tidy apartment — nothing lying around on the floor, as I know how fast a pup can move when they spot a “treasure” down there! We'll follow your instructions carefully and can provide you with a detailed update of the day(s) upon request. I'll also take photos to keep you reassured :)

About: Hello there! my name is Amira, and I am a passionate animal lover with years of experience in dog sitting and caring for various breeds and personalities. I had dogs and cats since a very young age and displayed a profound interest in learning about the different breed's characteristics, as well as about how to interact, play and create a bond with them. Throughout the years of experience and dedication I have developed skills and ease on how to naturally establish complicity with animals, as well as how to adjust my approach and care to the dog's character. I understand that each dog is unique and has specific needs, and I am dedicated to providing personalized care tailored to your preferences and requirements and can easily establish complicity with them. I know how to train dogs to learn the basics. I also have some experience with dogs displaying behavioral issues and will gladly provide some tricks to help the dog improve, be less anxious or nervous when they see other mates. I'm flexible; I am willing to accommodate your schedule and your dog's routine to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I genuinely love dogs and will treat your pet with the same love and care as if they were my own. You can count on me to be punctual, reliable and responsible in providing care for your pet. Feel free to reach out to me to discuss your dog's needs and schedule a meet-and-greet. I can't wait to meet your furry friend and provide them with love and attention and tailored care. Thank you for considering me as your dog sitter. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your beloved pet! Amira Im currently only working from home part-time from the computer (2 hours) and will have plenty of time to look after, care and play with your pet. A typical playful day of care involves engaging in stimulating activities, providing attention and lots of love to ensure your pup is happy, well cared for and relaxed while you're away. We can agree on a Meet & Greet session before taking in your pets, which can be scheduled prior to the sit dates if you wish to make you and your pack more comfortable and ensure that care is tailored and suited to their needs.

About: Ce qui me distingue, c’est surtout mon approche très attentionnée et personnalisée. Je prends le temps de m’adapter au caractère et aux habitudes de chaque animal pour qu’il se sente en sécurité et comme à la maison. Mes cours étant en ligne, j’ai un horaire très flexible. Je suis donc très présente et j’ai tout le temps nécessaire pour jouer, promener et prendre soin de nos petits compagnons. Je m’adapte toujours au service demandé et aux habitudes de chaque animal. À mon domicile, je veille à offrir un environnement calme, sécuritaire et chaleureux, avec des moments de jeu, de repos et de promenades adaptés à leur niveau d’énergie.

Sarah is amazing, couldn’t be happier to have left my dog with her and her family (including her dog Mocha) today. She took excellent care of my senior 13 year old German Shepherd, checked in regularly through messages and pictures and was careful to consider his needs and limitations. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a loving home and day companion for their dog!

Andrea did a wonderful job of taking care of my puppy, Elric, while we took a night off with friends. She is very attentive and kept us informed of what was happening so we knew Elric was doing fine the whole night. She is also very sweet and kind so there was absolutely no concern at all for us to leave her with our puppy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone with a pet!

About: Hi! I’m Angela, and I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. Caring for pets (both my own and others’) has always been a big part of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising both cats and dogs, and I’m known among my friends and family as the “dog whisperer” because of my calm, patient approach and ability to connect with just about any pup (a few treats always help, too!). I truly believe every pet deserves love, attention, and understanding—whether they’re playful and outgoing or a little shy and nervous. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member like they’re my own. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for and spend quality time with your pet! On weekdays, I’m available for walks and visits after 5 PM, and my weekends are wide open for daytime walks, playtime, or overnight care. Whether it’s weekday evening walks or weekend drop-ins, I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never rushed. While I’m caring for pets in your home or taking them out on walks, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and needs, and I always follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and medication to walk routines and favorite toys. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals feel secure and cared for. I’m attentive to details like securely leashing pets during walks, double-checking gates and doors, and keeping a clean, hazard-free space. I also keep you updated regularly with photos and messages so you know your pet is in loving hands. My goal is to build trust not just with your pet, but with you as well

Nathalie seems like a very nice person, i think she cared for my dog well. She seemed to really like my dog, which i appreciated. The only thing i did not appreciate is my dog came back smelling very strongly of cigarettes. But, very nice person, i appreciate their help, it is just not the right fit for me.

About: J’ai grandi avec des chiens, un chat et un perroquet. Pour moi, être entourrée d’animaux est une partie de moi. Cet été j’ai du temps, alors je souhaite m’occuper des pitous des autres pour m’occuper de manière agréable. Avant d’adopter ma chienne Pouka, je me suis occupée du chien de ma coloc pendant 2 ans. Elle était beaucoup prise avec le travail et j’étais étudiante avec assez de temps libre pour m’occuper de lui. Depuis que j’ai Pouka dans ma vie, je garde régulièrement les chiens de mon entourage. Je suis une petsitter sérieuse mais douce avec les pitous. La communication est la clé pour moi, autant avec les animaux que leur humains, alors il n’y aura pas de mauvaises surprises avec moi :) Je n’ai pas de routine régulière de travail car je travaille dans les salles de spectacles. Cependant, je travaille peu l’été, alors j’ai du temps. Je fonctionne avec les pitous des autres comme avec Pouka. Lors des balades, je fais attention à l’environnement autour et je communique beaucoup avec eux.

About: (English version below!) J’adore les animaux! Si je pouvais posséder un super pouvoir, je choisirais de pouvoir les comprendre parfaitement, afin qu’ils puissent toujours avoir des interactions agréables avec moi ☺️ J’ai suivi le cours de language canin à la SPCA de Montréal, ainsi que leur cours d’hygiène et biosécurité en refuge. J’ai été bénévole là-bas en tant que promeneuse de chiens et foyer d’accueil. J’adore m’occuper des animaux de mes ami.e.s! J’ai aussi travaillé à une animalerie il y a quelques années, j’étais responsable des oiseaux et des rongeurs 🐁🦜🤗 Je pense que mon dévouement envers le bien être des animaux à ma charge font partie des qualités qui font de moi une bonne gardienne d’animaux, ainsi que le respect et la grande curiosité que j’ai pour eux, ce qui m’aide à apprendre et m’améliorer chaque jour. Au plaisir de rencontrer votre boule de poil! Vlanie 🌸 IMPORTANT: Veuillez prendre note que je ne peux pas accepter d’animaux bruyants et/ou destructeurs dans mon domicile. __________________________________ I love animals! If I could choose one special power it would be to understand them perfectly, in order for them to always have pleasant interactions with me 😊 I took canine language training at the Montreal SPCA, along with their course on biosecurity and hygiene in shelters. I used to volunteer as a dog walker and a foster home. I love offering my help to care for my friends’ pets, and I used to work at a pet store a few years ago; I was responsible for the rodents and birds 🐁🦜🤗 I think what makes me a good pet sitter is how devoted I am to the well-being of the animals I care for, along with my deep curiosity and respect for animals, which makes me able to learn more and improve everyday. I can’t wait to meet your fluff ball! Vlanie 🌸 PLEASE READ: Please note that I am not allowed to have loud or destructive pets in my apartment. FRANÇAIS: Je fais du gardiennage d’animaux et des promenades de chiens à temps partiel. J’adore m’occuper des mêmes animaux à long terme, car j’ai l’occasion d’apprendre à les connaître davantage et former une belle complicité avec eux. Un autre avantage est que ça fait moins mal quand c’est le temps de dire au revoir, car je sais qu’on sera réunis très bientôt 🤗 ENGLISH: I do pet sitting and dog walking part time. I love taking care of the same pets over the long term, because I have the opportunity to get to know them better and form a solid trust bond with them. It’s also not as painful when it’s time to say goodbye, because I know we’ll see each other very soon 🤗 FRANÇAIS: Je vérifie si l’animal a certaines habitudes qui pourraient lui nuire (par exemple, manger les choses à terre lors des promenades), puis je modifie l’environnement et/ou je m’assure de garder un œil sur l’animal, de façon à éviter qu’il/elle puisse se mettre en danger ou endommager des choses. Pour les visites et gardes à domicile, j'apprécierais être informée de toute infestation actuelle ou récente dans la maison. ENGLISH: I check to see if the animal has certain habits that could be harmful to him/herself or his/her environment (for example, eating things on the ground when going for walks), then I modify the environment and/or I make sure to keep an eye on the animal, so that he/she cannot endanger him/herself or damage anything. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I’d appreciate being notified of any current or recent infestations in the home.

About: I grew up with and lived with dogs my whole life. I had a black lab, border collie, and a husky/golden rescue mix, so I am used to bigger dogs (in fact, I LOVE them!). I have a very good temperament with dogs where I understand the space they need, but also allow them to warm up to me in the time they’re comfortable with. I know the basic commands and can accommodate how you manage that area with your dog. I am a freelance artist and work from home, so any excuse to go for a walk or have a buddy curl up to me while I work is so welcome! Again, happy to work with the requirements and boundaries you set for your pet. I treat each animal with love and compassion and welcome them into my life with care and understanding.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Laval

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Laval on Rover is $29.97 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 1,045 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Laval. About 86% of Laval 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.

Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:

  • Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
  • Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
  • Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
  • Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
  • Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible

Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.

Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Laval commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.

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 .

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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in QC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 85% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
