About: I am a lifelong lover of animals but I haven't had a pet in a long while, so I am missing that connection. The happiness of a dog is contagious and I would love to be around dogs more often! I work from home and exercise regularly and thought it would be a great combo to walk with a dog. For at-home visits, I am comfortable with lots of play time and cuddles or with giving the dogs some space. I look forward to meeting your dogs! I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I am available at all times to suit your needs and will enjoy the exercise and interaction, just as much as your fur baby! I have a fenced in yard at my place, should you wish for me to board your dog outside your home. There are no children or other animals at my house, so your dog will receive full attention with cuddles if that's what they want. If your dog needs to run around and sniff, there's lots of green spaces. I also love the challenge of introducing mental stimulation with interactive toys too!

About: ENGLISH: I have been caring for animals since I was 6 years old and have experience with a variety of pets. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each animal’s needs. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning, and providing companionship, and I always strive to ensure pets are safe, healthy, and well cared for while in my care. FRANÇAIS: Je m’occupe d’animaux depuis l’âge de 6 ans et j’ai de l’expérience avec une variété d’animaux de compagnie. Je suis une personne responsable, patiente et attentive aux besoins de chaque animal. Je suis à l’aise avec des tâches comme nourrir, promener, nettoyer et offrir de la compagnie aux animaux. Mon objectif est toujours de m’assurer que chaque animal est en sécurité, heureux et bien pris en charge pendant qu’il est sous mes soins. ENGLISH: I have very flexible schedule and am available nearly every day, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I often accept bookings on short notice and will contact you if anything. FRANÇAIS: J’ai un horaire très flexible et je suis disponible presque tous les jours, y compris les jours de semaine, les fins de semaine et les jours fériés. J’accepte souvent les réservations de dernière minute et je vous contacterai si quelque chose change dans mon horaire. ENGLISH: Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. I always follow the owner's instructions carefully, keep a close eye on pets during walks and visits, and make sure they are in a safe, secure environment. I also believe in clear communication and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely spend time outside under supervision, as well as air conditioning to keep pets comfortable during warmer weather. There are no other animals in my home, creating a calm and quiet environment where your pet can receive my full attention and care. FRANÇAIS: La sécurité et le confort de votre animal sont toujours mes priorités. Je prends le temps d’apprendre à connaître la routine, la personnalité et les besoins particuliers de chaque animal. Je suis toujours attentif aux consignes des propriétaires, je surveille attentivement les animaux pendant les promenades et les visites, et je m’assure qu’ils restent dans un environnement sécuritaire et adapté. Je crois également à l’importance d’une bonne communication et je vous tiendrai au courant avec des messages et des photos afin que vous puissiez avoir l’esprit tranquille pendant votre absence. J’ai une cour entièrement clôturée où les chiens peuvent passer du temps à l’extérieur en toute sécurité sous surveillance, ainsi que la climatisation pour assurer leur confort pendant les périodes de chaleur. Il n’y a aucun autre animal dans ma maison, ce qui crée un environnement calme et paisible où votre animal pourra recevoir toute mon attention et mes soins.

“My puppy Ally had a great time playing with Duke. She was one happy puppy. Wanted to go back in when it was time to go home. I’ll choose not to take it personally that my pup had a better time at day care than at home 😜 Alexandra kept me updated during the day. Communication was very easy. Thank you!”

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.

“Arianne is one of the best dog carers out there! Cinnamon is prone to anxiety but she comes home happy and relaxed—which speaks volumes for us. Arianne is so lovingly gentle and patient, yet firm in sticking to instructions and keeping Cinnie safe, healthy, and happy. A great balance. Beyond the care itself, Arianne is communicative, punctual, and sends cute photos and updates throughout. We’ve been working with her for about 6 months now and absolutely love her quality of service! Highly recommend!”

About: Since the age of 8 years old our household always had a pet. I had guinea pigs growing up, birds, fish and then we got our dog that we had for 14 years. I currently have a guinea pig that I rescued from the SPCA. I'm self employed and I am a super active person. I'm always walking on the canal during breaks to stay moving. In addition, my office is also my home base so I'm always around! I always approach animals softly, making sure they feel trusted by me. I know some dogs can be nervous and don't love meeting new people, so I always try to approach calmly until they know me!

“Sarah K is truly wonderful. From the first day Sarah and family took care of our dog, it was clear how loving and attentive they are. They took such kind, thoughtful care of our dog, and we were especially touched by how quickly our very anxious pup felt comfortable in their home. Their experience as long-time dog owners, especially with dogs who have special needs, gave us complete peace of mind. We knew our dog's need to feel safe and secure would be understood and respected, and they absolutely delivered. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: Nous avons toujours été les personnes de notre famille et de notre cercle d’amis qu’on appelle lorsqu’il faut faire garder un animal. Ayant grandi entourés de chiens et de chats, nous avons développé une grande aisance et un réel plaisir à nous en occuper. N’ayant pas d’animaux présentement, nous adorons pouvoir en prendre soin via cette application. Nous sommes un couple d’ingénieurs travaillant tous les deux à temps plein de la maison. Cela nous permet d’être très présents et disponibles pour vos compagnons tout au long de la journée. Nous faisons régulièrement des promenades le matin, le midi et en soirée. Nous aimons tous les animaux — chiens, chats, petits, grands, timides ou enjoués — chacun reçoit toute notre attention et notre affection. Nous avons une grande cour entourée de haies de cèdre, offrant un environnement sécuritaire. Nous sommes également à l’aise d’utiliser des cages au besoin, selon vos habitudes. Comme nous n’avons pas d’animaux à la maison, le vôtre sera au centre de notre attention. We’ve always been the people our family and friends rely on when they need someone to care for their pets. Having both grown up with dogs and cats, we’re very comfortable around animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Since we don’t currently have pets of our own, we love being able to care for them through this app. We are a couple of engineers working full-time from home, which allows us to be very present and attentive throughout the day. We typically go for walks in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening. We truly enjoy the company of all animals — dogs, cats, small, large, shy, or playful — each one gets our full attention and care. We have a large yard surrounded by cedar hedges, providing a safe outdoor space. We’re also comfortable using crates if needed, depending on your pet’s routine. Since we don’t have pets of our own, yours will receive our full focus and attention. Nous travaillons de la maison à temps plein, assurant une présence constante. L’un de nous étant travailleur autonome avec un horaire très flexible, nous pouvons facilement nous adapter aux besoins spécifiques de votre animal tout au long de la journée. We both work from home full-time, ensuring constant presence. One of us is self-employed with a highly flexible schedule, allowing us to easily adapt to your pet’s specific needs throughout the day. Nous envoyons régulièrement des photos et des nouvelles pour vous garder rassuré pendant votre absence. We provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Lavaltrie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 682 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Lavaltrie. About 88% of Lavaltrie 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 Lavaltrie 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:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 81% 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.
