About: Garder un animal, ce n’est pas seulement le surveiller mais c’est aussi de comprendre son rythme, son caractère et ses petits rituels. Avec moi, chaque animal est traité comme un individu à part entière. Je prends le temps de m’adapter à son énergie, que ce soit pour de longues promenades actives ou des moments plus calmes et rassurants. Mon objectif est simple c'est qu’il se sente en sécurité, stimulé et aimé, même en l’absence de son humain. Je porte une attention particulière aux détails qui font toute la différence dont respecter ses habitudes, reconnaître ses signaux, et offrir une présence constante et attentive. Ce qui me distingue ? je suis éducatrice spécialisée depuis 25 ans, j'ai une approche à la fois douce et engagée, je ne fais pas que garder des animaux mais je crée un lien et un environnement où ils peuvent vraiment s’épanouir. Confier son animal, c’est confier un membre de sa famille. Je prends cette responsabilité très à cœur et avec bienveillance. Chaque journée est organisée de façon à offrir aux animaux une présence attentive et des moments de qualité, que ce soit pour les promenades, les repas ou les périodes de jeu et de repos. Je planifie mes horaires pour respecter les besoins spécifiques de chaque animal. J’adapte mon organisation pour assurer une constance et une stabilité, ce qui est essentiel pour les animaux. Prendre soin des animaux n’est pas une tâche ponctuelle pour moi, mais une routine bien établie où leur bien-être est toujours une priorité. Chaque animal est accueilli dans un environnement calme et propre, adapté à ses besoins. Je veille à ce que les espaces soient sécurisés, sûrs et propices à son bien-être. Je dispose d'une grande cours clôturé et d'un espace boisé derrière ma maison, avec des sentiers pour les promenades. La communication est également essentielle à mes yeux ; par exemple, je vous tiens régulièrement informé afin que vous ayez toujours l'esprit tranquille.

About: Caring for animals has been part of my life for over 30 years. I’ve had experience with many different types of pets and understand that each one has unique needs. I’m comfortable giving medication, helping with physical therapy, grooming, and continuing training to keep routines consistent. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, gentleness, and lots of love. I'm currently a stay at home mother, with my children in school. This allows me to have complete flexibility to meet your pets needs through out the day & including evenings. My home has a fenced yard, pets are welcome on furniture, crates are available if needed, and I provide close supervision in a calm, loving environment. Our home is a bilingual one. I am happy to provide as many photo updates as you would like!

About: J’ai toujours eu un grand amour pour les animaux, particulièrement les chiens. J’ai l’habitude de m’occuper d’eux au quotidien : promenades, jeux, alimentation et m’assurer qu’ils se sentent en sécurité et bien entourés. Je suis une personne responsable, attentive et patiente, et je comprends l’importance de respecter les habitudes et les besoins de chaque animal. Avec moi, votre chien recevra toute l’attention, l’affection et les soins nécessaires pendant votre absence. Je suis disponible pour m’occuper de vos animaux tous les jours de la semaine, avec des plages horaires flexibles selon vos besoins. Je peux faire des promenades matin, midi ou soir, ainsi que des visites à domicile pour nourrir, jouer et veiller au bien-être de vos compagnons. Pour toute demande particulière ou horaire personnalisé, n’hésitez pas à me contacter, je m’adapte volontiers pour le confort de votre animal. Chez nous, les animaux sont notre priorité. Nous avons une cour arrière sécurisée où ils peuvent jouer librement, et mes grandes filles adorent les animaux et participent aux soins et aux jeux. Chaque compagnon reçoit toute notre attention, notre affection et un environnement sûr et joyeux où il se sentira comme à la maison.

About: I have taken care of dogs, bunnies, cats, for 10+ years. My strength has been in caring for animals with anxiety, nervousness, or shyness, and bringing them comfort and a positive environment. I am very good at reinforcing training for the young ones to provide them consistency and stability in their routine. I am gifted in reading animals and having a lot of patience, and a great passion for them. This allows me to connect with them really effectively and be able to create a safe and loving experience for your fur babies! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I work full‑time as an operations manager from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the day for walks, check‑ins, playtime, and just being present. I’m not rushing in and out between commitments—your pet gets real attention worked into my day, not squeezed in as an afterthought. I used to dog sit in my own home and absolutely loved it, but after moving, my landlord no longer allows pets. Continuing to care for animals in clients’ homes is my way of keeping that connection I genuinely miss. Spending time with pets is something I want to do, not just something I’m fitting in. Because my schedule is flexible, I can adapt to your pet’s needs—whether that’s midday walks, medication timing, extra companionship during the workday, or sticking closely to an established routine. It ends up feeling very natural and consistent for them, which I know makes a big difference. For me, pet care is a grounding, enjoyable part of my week—and for your pet, it means calm, reliable care from someone who truly enjoys being there! When I care for pets in your home, I treat it like it’s their space and their routine, not just a place I’m visiting. I stick closely to your instructions—feeding schedules, walk times, meds, house rules—so everything feels as normal as possible for them. I make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and comfort, whether that means active time or just being a calm, reassuring presence nearby. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean and tidy, and always prioritize safety (doors secure, leashes on, food stored properly). I also love sending updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel totally at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: your pet feels relaxed and well cared for, and you come home to a happy animal and a home just the way you left it.

About: I work mostly from home, am reliable, caring and very active. I don't have a yard, however I live close to large parks and beautiful areas to go exercise dogs. My personal dog is high energy, we are constantly out for adventures. I am a dog trainer as a hobby, lots of understanding of canine body language/ behavior/needs, tons of puppy experience and I love high drive, high energy dogs. I work from home, can provide walks and exercise especially in the morning, the best way to start the day. During work hours, i can provide potty breaks whenever necessary No yard, but plenty of areas walking or driving distance to go move with dogs, no matter the weather conditions, dogs must move ! I do require dogs to be crate trained if they are boarding with me, mainly for safety should I need to leave them alone.

About: Les chiens ont toujours occupé une place importante dans ma vie. J'aime apprendre leur personnalité, observer leur langage corporel et créer un lien de confiance avec eux. Il y a quelques années, j'ai été bénévole à la SPCA, où je promenais les chiens et les photographiais afin de créer leur profil d'adoption. Plus récemment, j'ai gardé pendant une semaine la chienne de ma cousine, une Staffordshire Terrier de 9 ans. Cette expérience m'a permis de développer une belle complicité avec elle tout en respectant sa routine : promenades quotidiennes, repas selon sa diète, périodes de jeu, repos et beaucoup d'attention. Je crois qu'un chien s'épanouit lorsqu'il se sent en confiance et que sa routine est respectée. Je prends donc le temps de m'adapter au tempérament de chaque chien afin qu'il se sente en sécurité et bien accompagné pendant votre absence. Mon horaire flexible me permet d'offrir des promenades et des visites à domicile tout au long de la semaine. J'aime marcher, être à l'extérieur et passer du temps avec les chiens. Veiller à leur bien-être tout en respectant leur routine est une activité qui s'intègre naturellement à mon quotidien. Je n'offre pas de garde à mon domicile, mais je me déplace avec plaisir chez vous pour les promenades et les visites à domicile. Je privilégie le respect de la routine de votre chien afin qu'il conserve ses repères et se sente en confiance pendant votre absence. Selon ses besoins, je veille à ses repas, ses promenades, ses sorties pour ses besoins, ses moments de jeu, son hydratation et son bien-être. Je peux également administrer des médicaments par voie orale en suivant les instructions du propriétaire. Mon objectif est qu'il se sente en sécurité et reçoive toute l'attention qu'il mérite jusqu'à votre retour.

About: **English version coming :) Bonjour! Hello! Je m’appelle Vanessa et je parle français et anglais. N’hésitez pas à communiquer avec moi dans la langue de votre choix! Depuis toujours, les animaux occupent une place essentielle dans ma vie. J’ai grandi entourée de chiens et de chats, ce qui m’a permis de développer une véritable complicité avec eux. Je sais à quel point il peut être difficile de confier son compagnon à quelqu’un d’autre. C’est pourquoi je prends cette responsabilité très au sérieux. Avec moi, votre animal recevra toute l’attention, l’affection et les soins qu’il mérite. Vous pouvez avoir l’esprit tranquille : je prendrai soin de votre compagnon comme s’il faisait partie de ma propre famille. 🌸 Je suis également disponible pour m’occuper d’autres types d’animaux. Avec vos consignes et les informations nécessaires, je ferai toujours de mon mieux pour répondre à leurs besoins et assurer leur bien-être. Je dois toutefois avouer que j’ai moins d’expérience avec les oiseaux, les rongeurs et les reptiles. Cela dit, si vous prenez le temps de m’expliquer leurs besoins et votre routine, je serai ravie de m’en occuper avec attention. À la maison, les animaux font partie de mon quotidien! J’en ai plusieurs et je m’occupe aussi d’une colonie de chats. Vous pouvez donc avoir confiance : je suis habituée à prendre soin de nos amis à quatre pattes! Mon objectif est toujours le même : offrir une présence bienveillante, rassurante et des soins de qualité à votre compagnon, quel qu’il soit! 🐾 Hello! My name is Vanessa, and I speak both French and English. Feel free to contact me in whichever language you prefer! Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, which allowed me to build a strong bond with them from an early age. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your beloved companion, and that's why I take that responsibility very seriously. With me, your pet will receive all the attention, affection, and care they deserve. You can have peace of mind knowing that I'll care for your companion as if they were part of my own family. 🌸 I'm also happy to care for other types of pets. As long as you provide me with their routine and any important instructions, I'll always do my best to meet their needs and ensure they're happy, healthy, and comfortable. I do have less experience with birds, rodents, and reptiles. That said, if you take the time to explain their care routine and specific needs, I'd be more than happy to look after them with the same dedication and attention. At home, animals are part of my everyday life! I have several pets of my own, and I also care for a colony of community cats. You can trust that I'm very comfortable caring for our four-legged friends and treating them with the love and respect they deserve! My goal is always the same: to provide kind, reliable, and high-quality care, giving your companion the love and reassurance they deserve, no matter what kind of pet they are. 🐾 Agente de bord, je bénéficie d’un horaire très flexible. Je ferai toujours de mon mieux pour m’adapter à vos disponibilités, et je suis convaincue que nous pourrons trouver un horaire qui nous conviendra à tous! Je suis ouverte aux demandes additionnelles : passer du temps avec vos compagnons, les surveiller dans la cour, promener votre chat, jouer avec eux… ect. Je propose des gardes à domicile ainsi que des sorties! Sachez que je prendrai soin de vos animaux comme vous le feriez vous-même à la maison, en respectant à la lettre vos règles et vos habitudes. Que vous préfériez laisser un bol de nourriture disponible toute la journée ou suivre un horaire précis pour les repas, je m’adapterai avec plaisir. Mon seul intérêt est le bien-être et le bonheur de vos animaux.

About: What sets me apart is the calm, attentive environment I provide. I grew up in a home that regularly rescued and fostered dogs, so caring for different personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs has always been part of my life. We always had at least two dogs in the house at a time, and I’ve continued that into adulthood with my own rescues - Rose, who I’ve had since she was 1 (now 14), and Baby, who has been with me for 6 years. I’m often told I have a calm, easy energy that dogs naturally trust. I’m especially patient and understanding with anxious dogs and behavioral sensitivities, while still creating a relaxed and stable environment. I work from home, so dogs are never left unsupervised and always have consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. My home is cozy, calm, and dog-focused, with a large fenced backyard for fetch, sunbathing, and safe outdoor time. I treat every dog like they’re my own and prioritize making them feel secure, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and already structure my days around caring for animals. My own dogs are a huge part of my everyday life, so walks, outdoor time, feeding schedules, play, cuddles, and supervision are already built into my routine. I’m home often throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, companionship, and care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, cozy environment where animals can relax, feel safe, and settle into a comfortable rhythm. Weekly, I prioritize keeping a clean and pet-friendly home and making sure animals get both mental stimulation and downtime depending on their personality and needs. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or more anxious and reserved, I’m attentive to helping them feel comfortable and cared for while they’re with me. Safety is always my top priority when caring for dogs in my home. I have two friendly rescue dogs who are calm, social, and well accustomed to sharing space with other animals. I always prioritize slow, respectful introductions and pay close attention to each dog’s comfort level, personality, and boundaries. I provide a calm, structured environment where dogs are supervised closely and never left unattended outdoors. My home is ground level and has a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, fetch, bathroom breaks, and relaxing in the sun, and all yard time is monitored. Inside the home, I use tools like baby gates when needed to create separate spaces for rest, decompression, feeding, or quieter introductions. Because I work from home, I’m present throughout the day to supervise interactions, maintain routines, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is always to create a cozy, low-stress environment where dogs can settle in comfortably and feel at home.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Mercier

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Mercier on Rover is $18.87 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 1,847 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Mercier. About 82% of Mercier 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 Mercier. 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 Mercier.

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 Mercier 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 Mercier 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:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
