“Highly recommend Mya! She did two one-hour walks with our two separate dogs, and they instantly warmed up to her and felt completely comfortable. Mya has a fantastic personality and is trustworthy. We loved getting the beautiful photos and update card after the walks, and she even brought along treats and water for them. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Johanne was beyond amazing with my dogs. She was always on time, kept up communication, got some fantastic photos and kept us updated about both our dogs. I was worried at first as one of my dogs is a muscular puller and thought for sure that it would be a challenge but not at all. She handled both dogs perfectly and I am pretty sure she taught them to be bilingual as well. 10/10 she will be my number one choice and the only person I will recommend to others. I can not express how happy we were with our experience. I am not sure if there are awards or 6 star status but If anyone from the Rover teams see this Johanne should be given elite status.”
“Lauryn is amazing! My schedule means I need someone to walk my dog during the middle of the workday. Lauryn is always prompt, communicates clearly, and my dog loves her! She’s been walking her for 2 weeks and I plan to continue with Lauryn as long as possible!”
About: 🌐Bilingue FR/EN | +30 ans d’expérience | ⛑️Premiers soins chiens & chats — Croix-Rouge. Fiable et engagée : lorsque j’accepte une garde, je prends cet engagement au sérieux. 🐾 Animaux de tous âges bienvenus! J’affectionne tout particulièrement les animaux seniors, sensibles ou à mobilité réduite, pour avoir accompagné mes propres compagnons jusque dans leur grand âge. 🦮 De la séance de gratouilles aux promenades et aux jeux actifs, j’adapte mon attention à la personnalité, au rythme et aux habitudes de chacun. Promenades sécuritaires, renforcement positif, beaucoup de « Bon chien! » et gâteries selon vos consignes. 🧹 Les petits oopsies? Ça arrive! Je nettoie, tout simplement. Je suis également à l’aise avec l’administration de médicaments oraux. Bien-être, sécurité et plaisir sont mes priorités. 🌎 J’ai beaucoup voyagé avec ma famille poilue et je connais d’expérience les enjeux de choisir, puis de faire confiance à la personne qui prendra soin de son compagnon, pour quelques heures comme pour un long séjour. 🔐 CONFIANCE : propre, ponctuelle et fiable, en plus je suis certifiée en premiers soins pour humains et je détiens une cote de sécurité de niveau Secret du gouvernement fédéral. Pour votre tranquillité d’esprit lors de longs séjours, je peux également arroser vos plantes et ramasser votre courrier pendant votre absence. 📸 BONUS : excellente photographe! Attendez-vous à recevoir de jolies nouvelles de votre compagnon. 🌿 Dans la vie, je suis artiste-chercheure (PhD) et écrivaine en mouvement et écologie. 🐾 Vous pouvez me confier votre famille poilue! Daytime visits Overnight stays Weekdays, weekends, and statutory holidays Short-term and long-term bookings For stays of 6 nights or longer, I'm happy to travel up to 250 km from Gatineau/Ottawa. Client’s home: I believe pets feel safest when their routines are respected. Before each stay in your home, I take the time to learn your dog's habits, favourite words, feeding schedule, medications, exercise routine, and any special needs. I'm comfortable administering oral medications (pills and oral syringes), checking for and safely removing ticks after walks, wiping muddy or snowy paws, towel-drying after rain or swimming, cleaning food and water bowls, and handling the occasional "oopsie" with patience and good humour. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, mobility, energy, or behaviour and will let you know promptly if anything seems unusual. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your trip knowing your companion is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: Je garde des animaux depuis plus de 3 ans. Ce qui me distingue, c’est mon amour sincère pour les animaux, ma patience et ma capacité à adapter mes soins aux besoins spécifiques de chacun. Je suis étudiante à l’université et je travaille à temps partiel au gouvernement fédéral, ce qui me permet d’avoir un horaire flexible. Je suis généralement à la maison environ trois jours par semaine (plus le weekend). J’ai l’habitude de faire deux marches par jour ainsi qu’une course à pied le midi, ce qui me permet d’offrir beaucoup d’exercice aux animaux. Mon conjoint et moi adorons le plein air, autant en été qu’en hiver, et nous aimons intégrer les animaux dans nos activités lorsque c’est possible. La sécurité et le bien-être des animaux sont ma priorité. Je m’assure d’offrir un environnement calme, propre et adapté afin qu’ils se sentent à l’aise et en confiance. Je prends le temps de bien comprendre les besoins de chaque animal (routine, alimentation, niveau d’énergie, comportements) pour m’y adapter et réduire son stress. Je veille à maintenir une routine stable, avec beaucoup d’attention, de stimulation et des marches quotidiennes. Je reste attentive à tout changement de comportement et je communique régulièrement avec les propriétaires afin de leur donner des nouvelles et leur offrir une tranquillité d’esprit :)
About: Hi! I've always had a lot of pets, in my brazilian house we had 7 kittens and 2 dogs that were always very loved and cared for by me mainly, from baths to even medication with all the love possible. We live in a house, with screens on all the windows and very bright and ventilated where I can give constant attention to my visitors and four-legged friends. Our neighborhood is very quiet and we have a small space at the back of our house, too. I had contact with animals of various sizes and I have an easy adaptation with them. I look forward to receiving new visitors! ____________________________________________________________ Oi, sou Francielly! Na minha casa tínhamos 7 gatinhos e 2 cachorros que sempre foram muito amados e cuidados por mim principalmente, desde banhos até mesmo medicações com todo o amor possível. Moramos numa casa, com telas em todas as janelas e bastante iluminado e ventilado onde posso dar atenção constante aos meus visitantes e amiguinhos de quatro patas. Nossa vizinhança é bastante tranquil e temos um pequeno espaço na parte de trás de casa. Tive convívio com animais de vários portes e tenho facilidade de adaptação com eles. Estou ansiosa para receber novas visitas! Me and my husband can taking walks and doing activities that they may need. I can receive visitors during the week, weekends and holidays as well. At the moment we do not have children or other animals at home, so our full attention will be for the new guest. We have a space at the back of our house that gives us privacy and safety.
“Luisa has been amazing, we have 2 dogs who love going on walks with her! Luisa is always on time, very responsive to messages and has been amazing helping us out when we’re in a pinch for dog walking! I definitely recommend Luisa!”
About: I have experience caring for pets, including dogs and cats, treating them with the same love and attention as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or providing companionship. I also frequently pet sit for friends, which has strengthened my ability to handle different breeds and temperaments with care. I like to jog in the park. I take care of friends' dogs when they are on vacation and truly enjoy it. Dogs shouldn't stay indoors during those time. They can have vacation time too :) I'm very respectful of people's home. It's a personal space and I too like when people coming into my house show the same respect. I have a gated yard and work from home half of the week so I can do mornings, noon and evening easily.
About: I have over five years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and maintaining each dog’s usual routine. I have also spent years volunteering on a farm caring for animals, which has taught me to be patient, responsible, and attentive. I treat every dog with the same love and care I give my own pets, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a student at Algonquin, I will be finishing mid-April, and work part-time. I’m mostly a homebody, making me available on weekends and weekdays for pet care, offering flexibility and reliable attention for your pets. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and can maintain their usual routine. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions provided by the owner. I always keep doors, gates, leashes, and the surrounding environment secure. I treat every client’s home respectfully and make sure their pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while in my care.
About: I grew up with dogs and have always considered them family. Our first dog, Sasha, was adopted four months before I was born and had significant behavioural needs. She was my best friend for thirteen wonderful years, and caring for her taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important it is to meet each dog where they are. Since then, my family has had two more dogs, and I’ve gained experience caring for seniors, managing specialized diets, preparing food, and handling unexpected veterinary concerns. Our current dog, Zyler, has canine megaesophagus and requires specialized food preparation and feeding techniques. He’s a lot of work, but he’s also the absolute love of my life! I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and taking the time to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am a full time student. I have 3-5 hours of non-negotiable commitments during the week, but I am a homebody and I can be around constantly outside of synchronous in-person classes. I am free Tuesdays. Saturday’s and Sunday’s without restrictions I care for pets by taking my cues from your animal. Having been a foster volunteer, I am aware of signals and cues and how to respect an animal’s boundaries while caring for their needs. I am the cleanest, most respectful house guest and will leave the place immaculate. I will respect homeowners predefined boundaries while providing as much play and cuddles possible.
About: I am the go to dog sitter for all of my extended family, and I have sat for small to large dogs. And I have mostly sat for houses with multiple dogs. I work early mornings Monday to Friday, so I’m free during the normal working day. And full availability most weekends with advanced notice. And I can sit multiple days in a row. I can follow whatever routine you have with your pet. I can follow complex instructions, detailed feeding schedules and I have care for an elderly dog that required diabetes shots daily.
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! Morning, afternoon, and evening walks are typical within my day, so I’d be happy to have a dog come along with me for some extra company and fun. I am diligent in following all rules and guidelines provided by the owners, as I know how important routine is to pets.I prioritize maintaining their usual schedule and environment so that it is as if their owners never left. My top priority is to provide reliable care that keeps your pets happy and stress-free.
About: Je m'occupe des chiens et des chats depuis 25 ans. Votre pitou/chat sera bien cajolé comme si elle/il serait chez une mamie. Je suis active, tranquille, et fiable. Je vous garderais informée quotidiennement en vous partageant une ou deux photos avec des courtes descriptions du comportement de votre pitou/minou. Puisque je suis à la retraite, je marcherais votre chien ou je lirais accompagnée de votre chat. J'accompagnerais votre compagnon tout au long de la journée. Je marcherais votre chien autour du quartier residentiel. Je l'amènerai jouer au parc à chien. Votre chat dormira tranquillement au soleil sur son doux tapis.

Grace has been awesome with my dog, Toto. She’s super easy to work with, communicates really well, and has been incredibly accommodating with my schedule, even when I’ve needed a walk booked on short notice. Toto can be a pretty anxious guy, and Grace has been great with him. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and takes the time to make sure they’re comfortable and well looked after. I always know he’s in good hands when he’s with her. It’s such a relief knowing Toto is getting his exercise and burning off some energy when I’m not able to get him out myself. Grace is reliable, friendly, and just overall a pleasure to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker.
Paul has been walking my crazy energetic husky, Oreo, for over a year now. He’s one of the most reliable, flexible dog walkers I have ever dealt with in my 4 years of owning a dog. Truly the best walker in the city, sad to see us part ways as I am moving. My dog will forever love you!
Celeste has been a star when it comes to my dog. He is a very shy and nervous baby and she immediately knew how to let his goofy personality come out and make him comfortable. She is so gentle and sweet with him but also makes sure to guide him so he listens to her and trusts her. Couldn't be more happier to have her as Jasper's friend and walker!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in le Plateau on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 1,376 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in le Plateau. About 86% of le Plateau 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 le Plateau. 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 le Plateau.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. 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 le Plateau 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 .
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.
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 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 le Plateau 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:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 85% 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.
