“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: Je suis présentement étudiante en technique de santé animale. Je suis quelqu'un de responsable, qui prend ses tâches à cœur et qui a le bien-être des animaux en priorité. Je suis propriétaire de 3 chats et de 1 chiens. Je peux donc au temps garder vos chiens que vos chats. Parmi les chats, j'ai un chaton de 3 mois, ce qui signifie que je peux m'occuper aussi de vos chaton. Lorsque j'ai eu mes chiens, je les ai toujours eu chiots, je peux donc m'occuper de chiens de tous âges. Puisque je suis au cégep en technique et que mes cours de base sont déjà fait, j'ai 2 journées dans la semaine qui me permettre de m'occuper d'animaux. Pour ce qui ait de la fin de semaine, je partage la garde de mes animaux avec une autre personne, ce qui me permet aussi de m'occuper d'animaux de fin de semaine. Je prend le temps de faire des promenades adaptées selon les besoins du chiens. J'utilise plusieurs jeux et activités qui leur permettre de dépenser leur énergie tout en apprenant. Je suis les routines déjà établis des animaux pour la nourriture. Je m'assure qu'ils aient toujours de l'eau et qu'ils sortent pour faire leur besoin fréquemment.
About: J’ai eu un coley, un danois, un chihuahua, 3 labradors, un pitbull et un bouledogue français. J’ai donné des médicaments deux fois par jour à deux chats, et ce à plusieurs intervalles, je n’hésite pas à les amener chez le vétérinaire s’il y a un problème, je leur donne de la nourriture de grande qualité, je coupe leurs griffes, et je prends leur température quand j’ai un doute. Je joue à la balle et au miroir avec mes chats et je les amène sur le balcon en laisse. Je leur donne de l’herbe à chat, leur donne bcp de bisous, et je leur parle. Mon mari travaille pour nous deux et je suis infertile. J’ai donc tout mon temps. Cela est pour moi un plaisir et un bon passe temps. J’ai une entrée à double porte, et mon autre porte d’entrée n’est jamais utilisée. J’ai un 4 1/2 où votre chat pourra circuler librement. Je n’ai pas de plante et je ne possède qu’un seul chat. Je ne donne aucune nourriture de table.
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: 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: 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 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'm a student and my availability changes by the day, since the calendar only allows me to either cancel all times for day I'll put the specific times I am available here: Tuesday - anytime Wednesday - morning until 3pm Thursday - alternates every other week (check the calendar) between available anytime to available from 3pm till late Friday morning till 1pm or 7pm till late Saturday - anytime Sunday- anytime Monday - not available *for the fall semester, this will change by December! :) I am available to visit your pet at their home, and/or take them out for a walk. I can either spend some time with them at home, or take them for a walk if applicable!

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.

About: Je m'occupe des chiens depuis que je suis enfant, nous avons toujours eu beaucoup de poilus à la maison, chez moi au Mexique mon père a 5 chiens et 2 chats, ils font partie de la famille. Quand je suis allé vivre à la plage, j'ai travaillé dans un hôtel & shelter pour les chiens, j'avais à ma charge jusqu'à 20 chiens de toutes tailles, certains avaient besoin de soins spéciaux, comme des médicaments ou de la nourriture spéciale; J'étais très heureuse le temps que j'ai offert mes services là-bas. Mon travail à temps partiel me permet de m’occuper, d’accompagner, d’hérberger, de visiter ou de promener, le meilleur ami de l’homme 🦮 🐈 😊 🐾 Je m'occuperai de votre fidèle ami comme s'il était l'un des miens, j'ai les connaissances et l'expérience nécessaires pour vous fournir un service de premier ordre.
About: Pour moi, prendre soin d’un chien, ce n’est pas simplement le promener ou lui tenir compagnie, c’est avant tout veiller à son bonheur, à sa sécurité et à son bien-être. 🐾 Ayant déjà eu l’occasion de m’occuper de chiens, je comprends l’importance de respecter leurs habitudes, leur personnalité et leurs besoins individuels. Ce qui me distingue, c’est mon attention aux petits détails et mon approche personnalisée. Je prends le temps d’apprendre à connaître chaque chien : son tempérament, son niveau d’énergie, ses préférences et les consignes de son propriétaire. Lors des promenades, je privilégie la sécurité, la patience et le respect du rythme de chaque animal. Qu’il s’agisse d’un chien énergique qui aime explorer ou d’un compagnon plus calme qui préfère prendre son temps, je m’adapte à ses besoins. Je sais également à quel point il est important de confier son animal à une personne de confiance. C’est pourquoi je privilégie une communication transparente avec les propriétaires, en leur envoyant des nouvelles et des photos pendant les services. Mon objectif est simple : que chaque chien se sente bien accompagné et que son propriétaire puisse partir l’esprit tranquille. 🐶💕 Mon horaire flexible me permet de consacrer du temps aux promenades et aux visites à domicile tout au long de la semaine. 🐾 J’aime organiser mes journées afin d’offrir à chaque animal toute l’attention qu’il mérite, sans précipitation. Je privilégie les clients de Parc-Extension et des quartiers voisins pour faciliter les déplacements et assurer un service ponctuel et régulier. Je suis également ouverte aux promenades récurrentes, selon mes disponibilités, pour que votre compagnon puisse profiter d’une routine stable et rassurante. La sécurité et le bien-être de votre compagnon sont toujours mes priorités. Avant chaque première garde ou promenade, je prends le temps de discuter avec vous de ses habitudes, de son tempérament, de ses besoins particuliers et des consignes à respecter. Lors des promenades, je reste attentive à son comportement, à la circulation, aux conditions météorologiques et à son niveau d’énergie. Je garde toujours le chien en laisse dans les endroits où cela est nécessaire et j’évite les interactions avec d’autres animaux sans votre autorisation. Lors des visites à domicile, je respecte votre espace, les habitudes de votre animal et toutes vos instructions concernant son alimentation, son confort et sa sécurité. Je peux également vous envoyer des photos et des nouvelles pour vous permettre de suivre ses activités en toute tranquillité. 🐶
About: I've had my dog for 11 years and have taken care of her from day one. I loved training her as a puppy and still enjoy teaching her new tricks at her old age. As she gets older, I've gotten used to giving her shots for her arthritis and carrying her whenever she needs the extra help. I love all animals and also have experience taking care of cats. I'm currently in between trips on this one year journey of traveling. I'm available any day of the week for the next few months and have ample time to take care of your pets. I will always cater to your pets needs and offer the services that you require. All I want is the safety and happiness of your pets.

About: I've been living with a cat since I was a young kid and my endless love for animals has been clear to those around me since then. Growing up spending time and taking care of cats, dogs, and birds planted a passion to spend my life learning more about animals. I'm comfortable taking care of any size dog and have experience with puppies and senior cats and dogs:) I love to send updates and pictures on how our walk or play date is going! I have a very open schedule which I would love to fill with some new furry friends! I'm available for a walk or home visit any weekday or weekend. I pay special attention listening to and getting to know your fur baby. How to play, when to rest, what their interests are, and building from there.
About: Hello! My name is Maria and I am 25 years old. I’ve lived in Montreal for 6 years now and I have moved a lot through my life. But something that stays the same is that I always have pets with me. I am an animal lover and my passion for taking care of them has been consistent all my life. Since I was a little kid I wanted to be a veterinarian and living in tropical countries like Costa Rica and Dominican Republic gave me unique experiences with different kinds of animals but the same love and care has always been present for all species. I have had pets all my life, ranging from small dogs like cockers spaniels to bigger ones like Rottweilers and German Sheperds and other pets like cats and hamsters. The love for animals has been passed by my parents and it’s a core value in our family, my mother rescued cats all her life and I share the same passion (my little black cat named Sypha on my profile picture is a rescue). I currently have a cat, as mentioned earlier and I would give my kidney for him and you can expect the same kind of love and care for your pets. I have great attention to detail, I’m very organized and will take care of your pets the way they need to be cared for, weather it is going for walks, taking medication on schedule or completing weird little rituals that make them feel loved and safe. Just let me know what they need! I usually work part time so I have a lot of availabilities for your pets! I start work at 11 and finish at 5pm from Monday to Thursday, so I can drop by before and after my shift! However, I am on vacation for a month until October 12th, so I can dedicate myself full time to your furry babies! At home, your pets will stay inside at all times except for when going on walks or potty! Your pets will never be unsupervised. I will keep them on leash and balcony time will also be supervised although it is also secured/ pet proof

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint-Léonard
Aminata est absolument formidable ! Elle est très attentionnée, bienveillante, fiable et professionnelle. On voit qu’elle aime sincèrement les chiens et qu’elle prend le temps de s’assurer que mon chien passe un bon moment et soit bien pris en charge à chaque promenade. Elle est toujours à l’écoute, attentive aux besoins de mon chien et très rassurante. Sa gentillesse, son sérieux et son sens des responsabilités me permettent de lui confier mon chien en toute confiance. Je suis vraiment ravie de pouvoir compter sur elle et je la recommande les yeux fermés à toute personne qui recherche une personne de confiance pour promener ou pour faire garder son chien. C’est une véritable perle!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Saint-Léonard is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,901 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Saint-Léonard. About 83% of Saint-Léonard 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 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Saint-Léonard after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 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.
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.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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!
