“Note parfaite ! Elle adore les animaux et est très investie. Elle a pris le temps de venir nous rencontrer avant la première promenade afin de bien cibler les besoins de mon chien géant et et de son fonctionnement à la marche, en plus de nous donner un compte rendu de la balade très détaillé.”

About: C’est avec plaisir que j’offre mes services de promenade et de gardiennage à votre domicile. Je parle français, anglais, espagnol et allemand. Je suis disponible de jour comme de soir. J’ai une connexion naturelle avec les chiens. J’ai vécu avec des chiens durant mon enfance. Je suis maintenant propriétaire d’un Terrier irlandais à poils doux de 4 ans. J'ai fait son éducation depuis qu’il est chiot en suivant des cours basés sur le renforcement positif. J’ai aussi suivi une série de cours pour chien réactifs, ce qui me rend à l’aise de m’adapter aux comportements et aux besoins de votre chien. Selon vos demandes, je peux faire une séance de jeu à domicile ou à l’extérieur, combinée ou non avec une marche. Je suis sensible au bien-être de votre chien et je lui réserverai toute mon attention. Je suis aussi à l’écoute et respectueux des précisions que vous m’apporterai concernant la gestion de votre chien, la promenade et l’accès à votre domicile. Je remplis le journal de bord Rover à chaque promenade et j’ajoute des photos ou vidéos:) Au plaisir de vous rencontrer et de faire connaissance avec votre ami poilu! Je peux être disponible de jour comme de soir, en semaine comme la fin de semaine.je peu être disponible les jours fériés aussi. Ne hésitez pas à m’écrire. Je comprends l’importance de la cohérence et du bien-être animal, et je suis là pour m’assurer que vos compagnons à fourrure reçoivent toute l’affection et l’attention qu’ils méritent. Je peux également vous tenir informé(e) des activités réalisées avec votre animal de compagnie grâce à des notifications de l’app.
“Didem took wonderful care of both Stanley and the home when she watched him! She was absolutely wonderful with him. She kept me very up to date of how he was doing while I was away complete with lots of pictures.”

“Cerine did an absolutely amazing job walking our dogs! Very kind and polite and both our dogs loved her company :) She kept us updated with photos each day and it was a pleasure having her. Would highly recommend to anyone!”
About: Depuis que je suis toute petite, j’ai toujours vécu entourée d’animaux. Chiens, chats et autres compagnons ont toujours fait partie de ma vie, ce qui m’a permis de développer une véritable passion et une grande facilité à m’occuper d’eux. Aujourd’hui, je partage ma vie avec mon chien, un magnifique mélange de Husky et de Bouvier de 5 ans, ainsi qu’avec mon chat de 11 ans. Je suis habituée aux personnalités, aux besoins et aux petites habitudes propres à chaque animal. J’adore jouer avec eux, passer du temps à leurs côtés et surtout leur offrir toute l’attention et l’affection dont ils ont besoin. Pour moi, garder un animal, ce n’est pas simplement le surveiller : c’est faire en sorte qu’il se sente en sécurité, aimé et bien entouré pendant votre absence. Comme je suis travailleuse autonome, je partage mon temps entre mes contrats de design sur ordinateur et la livraison avec Uber. Ça me permet d’avoir un horaire assez flexible et de m’adapter facilement aux besoins de chaque animal. J’aime justement profiter de cette liberté pour sortir de chez moi, prendre l’air et passer du temps avec des animaux. Que ce soit pour une promenade, une visite, une séance de jeux ou simplement leur tenir compagnie, j’aime pouvoir leur accorder du temps et de l’attention tout au long de la journée. Mon horaire flexible me permet donc d’offrir une présence régulière et de m’adapter aux habitudes de votre compagnon. Je privilégie le gardiennage à votre domicile, afin que votre animal puisse rester dans son environnement habituel, avec ses odeurs, ses repères et sa routine. Je ne garde donc pas les animaux chez moi, notamment parce que mon chat est moins à l’aise avec la présence d’autres animaux. Lors de mes visites, je prends le temps de m’adapter à chaque compagnon et à sa personnalité. Je peux m’occuper de ses repas, de son eau, de sa litière, de ses promenades, de ses besoins particuliers, mais surtout lui offrir une vraie présence et de l’attention. J’aime jouer avec les animaux, les faire bouger, leur donner de l’affection et prendre le temps de créer un lien avec eux. Pour moi, une visite ne consiste pas simplement à « passer faire le nécessaire » : je veux que votre animal profite réellement de ma présence et se sente en confiance pendant votre absence. Je respecte aussi les consignes et les habitudes de chaque propriétaire afin que votre compagnon garde autant que possible sa routine habituelle, même lorsque vous n’êtes pas là.
About: I just finished my school in animal care where i am able to work alongside technicians and vets if i wanted to. I have the knowledge for proper animal care and i am also cpr certified for animals. Ive had cats my whole life and have had my own 3 babies for the past 4 years and they are my entire world. I know how important our babies are to us so i would treat yours with all the love and care as i would my own. Im currently working on building my own business , and in between interviews to work at vet clinics. Therefore, my schedule is very flexible at the moment. Obviously it depends on the services offered, but i pay attention to details and always ask the owners if there is anything specific i need to follow to ensure the proper care for their animal.

About: Over the past several weeks, I have regularly cared for a friend's dogs on weekends: a 5-year-old Husky and a 1-year-old Chihuahua. Although they havenot received leash training and can be quite reactive, I have been able to manage them successfully during walks. Through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, I have noticed improvements in their behaviour whenever I work with them. This experience has encouraged me to pursue dog walking more seriously. My name is Charlène, I am a 26-year-old student currently studying thanatology in Montreal. I live in the Villeray area and have easy access to public transportation, which allows me to travel quickly throughout the city. I am also fully bilingual in both English and French, allowing me to communicate comfortably with a wide range of clients. With 5 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I provide loving, reliable, and personalized care. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, medication administration, or simply keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like family. I always send regular photo updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away.

“Vlanie aime les animaux, on le voit tout de suite et c’est très rassurant. Merci à elle et j’espère que Pixelle aura l’occasion de profiter à nouveau de belles promenades avec Vlanie.”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and Yoshi, my schnauzer, has a huge piece of my heart. Every dog has its own personality, routine, and little quirks, so I take the time to learn how your pup likes to eat, play, walk, and wind down. I stick to your schedule, keep you updated with photos and messages, and treat your dog the way I'd want someone to treat Yoshi. I have a lot of love to give, and the best part of my day is seeing a happy dog: tail going, ears up, ready for whatever's next. If your dog goes home tired, relaxed, and a little spoiled, I've done my job. Les chiens ont toujours fait partie de ma vie, et Yoshi, mon schnauzer, occupe une grande place dans mon cœur. Chaque chien a sa propre personnalité, sa routine et ses petites manies. Je prends donc le temps de comprendre comment votre toutou aime manger, jouer, se promener et se détendre. Je respecte votre horaire, je vous envoie des photos et des nouvelles, et je prends soin de votre chien comme je voudrais qu'on prenne soin de Yoshi. J'ai beaucoup d'amour à donner, et ce que j'aime le plus, c'est voir un chien heureux : la queue qui bouge, les oreilles dressées, prêt pour la suite. Si votre chien rentre à la maison fatigué, détendu et un peu gâté, j'ai fait mon travail. I work from home at my pace. I work from home, so my days are flexible and your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. That means extra walks, playtime, and plenty of company throughout the day. Whether you need a midday visit or a full stay, I can build my day around your dog's routine. Je travaille de la maison, donc mon horaire est flexible et votre chien ne restera pas seul pendant de longues périodes. Ça veut dire plus de promenades, plus de jeux et beaucoup de compagnie tout au long de la journée. Que ce soit pour une visite en après-midi ou un séjour complet, j'organise ma journée autour de la routine de votre chien. Whether your dog stays with me or I care for them in your home, safety comes first. Before any stay, I go over your dog's routine, diet, medications, and quirks, and I keep your vet's contact info and the nearest emergency clinic on hand. At home, I keep doors and gates closed, put away anything a curious pup could chew or swallow, and never leave dogs unsupervised with other animals until I know they get along. On walks, your dog stays leashed and secure at all times. In your home, I follow your house rules, keep everything clean and tidy, and treat your space with the same respect I'd give my own. You'll get regular photos and updates so you always know your dog is safe, comfortable, and happy. Que votre chien séjourne chez moi ou que je m'en occupe chez vous, la sécurité passe en premier. Avant chaque séjour, je fais le tour de sa routine, de son alimentation, de ses médicaments et de ses petites habitudes, et je garde à portée de main les coordonnées de votre vétérinaire et de la clinique d'urgence la plus proche. À la maison, je garde les portes fermées, je range tout ce qu'un toutou curieux pourrait mâchouiller ou avaler, et je ne laisse jamais les chiens sans surveillance avec d'autres animaux tant que je ne suis pas certain qu'ils s'entendent bien. En promenade, votre chien reste en laisse et en sécurité en tout temps. Chez vous, je respecte vos règles, je garde tout propre et en ordre, et je traite votre espace avec le même respect que le mien. Vous recevrez régulièrement des photos et des nouvelles pour savoir que votre chien est en sécurité, confortable et heureux.
About: Depuis mon adolescence, j'ai élevé ma Lucy, adorable Basset Hound, de ses 11 mois à l'âge d'or.

Mon emploi du temps flexible me permettra pour dorloter votre compagnon, prendre plusieurs marches et des pauses pipi. 📌Please note that I will not take care of cats living with pups because I'm allergic to cats. 📌Prenez note que je n'accepterai pas de garder des chats avec des chiens parce que je suis allergique aux chats. Je m'occuperai de votre compagnon chez vous, car c'est un environnement auquel il est habitué. Je vous enverrai des messages et des photos régulièrement afin que vous puissiez avoir l'esprit tranquille pendant que vous êtes au travail, en vacances ou faîtes une activité. J'emmenerai votre toutou dans les parcs et les parcs à chiens, avec votre autorisation bien sûr!

About: I have 22 years of experience caring for pets and have loved animals my entire life. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including seniors and pets needing extra attention. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like family. I’m experienced with walks, feeding, bathing, playtime, medication routines, and keeping pets comfortable and happy while their owners are away. After spending the past 5 years working on the road across Canada, I’m taking some well-deserved time off to be closer to my family and my dog, Blue. I’m looking forward to slowing down, enjoying some quality time at home, and giving pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time available for walks, visits, and pet sitting. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away. 🐾
About: I have a cat who I adore, and I just love cats in general! I understand the need to go at their pace and adapt to each cat's style for receiving affection, play, etc. I've done some dog walking work here and there for years. I started when I was a kid - I loved dogs, but my parents didn't want a dog so I started walking the dog of an older couple in my neighbourhood. :) I've grown up with dogs in my extended family and lived with roommates who had new dogs where I helped with walking and learned training strategies to support them. I've also done a bit of dog walking in Montreal. My experience with dog walking has been with mid-sized dogs, I'm open to walking a large dog if you're ok with someone who doesn't have prior experience. Just let me know any particular things I should know! I have classes Monday to Thursday until 1pm through to mid August, so I am pretty available Friday-Sunday and in late afternoons/evenings only Monday to Thursday I am available to visit your pet at their home, and/or take them out for a walk. I'll arrive at your home and can spend some time with them there and/or take them out for a walk in their neighbourhood.
“Valentina a bien pris soindes mes deux pitous pour leur marche quotidienne durant mes vacances. J'ai vraiment apprécié sa disponibilité et sa présence auprès de mes chiens. Merci!”

About: Depuis 13 ans, je prodigue des soins attentifs à ma chatte, qui souffre de plusieurs allergies et, plus récemment, de diabète. Cette expérience m'a permis de développer une grande connaissance des besoins médicaux et alimentaires des animaux, ainsi qu'une sensibilité particulière à leur bien-être. Je m'assure de suivre un régime alimentaire adapté et d'administrer les traitements nécessaires pour lui offrir une vie confortable et saine. Je termine actuellement un contrat de travail estival, après quoi je débuterai ma carrière de travail autonome dans le service aux aînés. J'ai du temps à consacrer à cette nouvelle étape et j'aime profondément rendre service, particulièrement au contact des animaux. Avec ma chatte, qui vivait avec le diabète, je prenais soin d'elle avec beaucoup d'attention et d'amour, en veillant à répondre à tous ses besoins, qu'ils soient médicaux ou quotidiens. Prendre soin des animaux : c'est une valeur qui me tient à cœur et qui guide naturellement mon engagement envers eux.
About: J'adore les animaux. Je suis une personne qui a toujours eu une facilité à connecter avec eux encore plus particulièrement avec les chiens. Je suis à l'aise avec les chiens de toutes les tailles. J'ai eu mon premier chien à 10 ans, un chien de petite taille qui s'appelait Rex. Mon deuxième était un chien de large taille, Bud. Je suis conscient que les animaux sont des êtres sensibles à leur environnement c'est pour cette raison que je m'assure de leur offrir une présence calme et confiante. J'ai beaucoup d'expérience avec les chiens réactifs et je sais comment rédiger leur attention de manière positive au besoin. Je suis une personne patiente et je comprends que chaque animal peut être a un différend stade dans son apprentissage. Je suis prête a offrir des services qui font en sorte que votre animal reçoit un entraînement constant, en accord avec votre approche. Le respect est une valeur importante à mes yeux, c'est pour cette raison que je m'assure de respecter vos disponibilités et d'offrir une flexibilité pour les imprévus. I love animals. I’ve always had a natural ability to connect with them, especially dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I got my first dog when I was 10—a small dog named Rex. My second dog was a large breed named Bud. I understand that animals are sensitive to their environment, which is why I make sure to provide them with a calm and confident presence. I have experience with reactive dogs and know how to redirect their attention in a positive way when needed. I am a patient person and understand that every animal is at a different stage in their learning process. I am ready to provide services that ensure your pet receives consistent training, in line with your approach. Respect is an important value to me, which is why I make sure to respect your schedule and offer flexibility for the unexpected. I work full time therefore I'm available after 5pm until midnight from Monday to Friday. I have a clear schedule on Saturday's and Sunday's. I'm available to do overnight house sitting from Friday to Saturday and Saturday to Sunday. Je travaille à temps plein ; je suis donc disponible du lundi au vendredi, de 17 h à minuit. Je suis libre le samedi et le dimanche. Je suis disponible pour prendre soin de votre animal chez vous pendant les nuit du vendredi au samedi et du samedi au dimanche. Je m'occuperai de votre animal en lui faisant faire de l'exercice et en le sortant pour qu'il fasse ses besoins. Je sais m'adapter aux besoins de votre animal en matière d'exercice et de stimulation mentale. Je sais bien que certaines races sont très actives, tandis que d'autres sont plus calmes. I will care for you pet by giving them exercise and letting them out to go potty. I can adapt your pets needs when it come to exercise and mental stimulations. I understand that some breeds are highly driven while other are more relaxed.

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.
About: M31 J'ai porté à l'age adulte plusieurs chiots, allant du Yorkshire et du Bichon ainsi que des plus gros chiens comme des huskys, des bouviers et autres. Je priorise les situations où les chiens ne sont pas stressés car leur bien-être est primordial. I have brought puppies to adulthood multiple times, ranging from Yorkshires and Bichons to bigger dogs such as Huskies, Bernese, and others. I always prioritize stress-free situations, as their well-being is primordial. Je commence une formation collégiale fin octobre. D'ici ce moment je suis disponible à tout moment. Autant les matins que les soirées incluant les fin de semaines. I start a collegial formation late October. Until then I'm available at any time. Including Mornings, afternoons, and weekends. Je suis très vigilant avec les chiens que je côtoie. Je n'utilise que des laisses et harnais ne causant aucun mal aux animaux. J'uttilise ma patience et mon amour pour eux afin de laisser être les chiens qu'ils désirent. I am very careful with the dogs I interact with. I only use leashes and harnesses that cause no harm to the animals. I use my patience and love for them to let dogs be who they want to be.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint-Léonard
Catherine walked Zelda for the first time today, and I had a great experience. She kindly took the time to do a meet and greet with us earlier this week, which immediately made me feel comfortable having her care for Zelda. She was very kind, sweet, and patient with Zelda, and kept me updated with pictures and information during their time together. It was clear Zelda was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Catherine to others looking for a caring and reliable walker!

Anabel was the Best with our dog Luna, her commitment, patience and respect made my nervous dog to be able to trust somebody else to walk her and take care of her during the weekend. At the end Luna was siting and giving her paw as she exactly does with us. She was punctual and understanding. She took the time to meet and greet Luna before we agree to hire her. Everything was as expected and more. Definitely we are going to repeat the service with her very soon.

The average cost for Dog Walking in Saint-Léonard on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Saint-Léonard. 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 Saint-Léonard.

To find walkers in Saint-Léonard 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.

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.

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 Saint-Léonard 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!
