J’ai confié mon pug Cookie à Tiago et Sarah pendant trois semaines, et je ne pouvais pas rêver de meilleurs dog sitters ! Ils ont surpassé toutes mes attentes. Ils se sont merveilleusement bien occupés de lui, en le traitant comme un membre de leur propre famille. Dès le premier contact, j’ai senti à quel point Tiago et Sarah aiment et comprennent les chiens, et cela s’est confirmé tout au long du séjour. Le fait qu’ils aient deux adorables pugs avec qui Cookie s’est lié d’amitié a rendu son séjour encore plus joyeux. Tiago et Sarah m’ont envoyé des nouvelles, des photos et des vidéos quasi quotidiennement, qui montraient à quel point Cookie était heureux et épanoui avec eux. Leur attention aux détails, leur amour pour les chiens et leur fiabilité sont incroyables, et je savais que Cookie était entre de très bonnes mains. Je confierais Cookie à Tiago et Sarah les yeux fermés, et je ne peux que les recommander avec grand enthousiasme. Ils ne sont pas seulement des dog sitters incroyables, ils sont de véritables passionnés qui prennent leur rôle à cœur. Un immense merci à eux pour tout, je n’hésiterai pas une seconde à refaire appel à eux à l’avenir !

While we were traveling, Sarah was a phenomenal caretaker of our dog, who clearly loved being with her, as well as with Sarah's sweet dog Mocha. Every day, Sarah sent just the right amount of photos, videos, and informative updates. We will absolutely trust Sarah again when needed!

About: I’m a caring and reliable bilingual (English/French) pet sitter offering a fun, family home environment with kids who love animals. Pets receive lots of attention, affection, playtime, and regular updates to help them feel comfortable and part of the family during their stay. Je suis une gardienne d’animaux attentionnée et fiable, bilingue (français/anglais), offrant un environnement familial chaleureux avec des enfants qui adorent les animaux. Les animaux reçoivent beaucoup d’attention, d’affection, de jeux et des nouvelles régulières afin qu’ils se sentent confortables et comme à la maison pendant leur séjour. I work in a school, so I’m currently available mainly on weekends. During the summer, my schedule becomes much more flexible, allowing me to offer increased availability for boarding, visits, and pet care. Je travaille dans une école, donc je suis actuellement disponible surtout les fins de semaine. Durant l’été, mon horaire sera beaucoup plus flexible, ce qui me permettra d’offrir davantage de disponibilité pour les gardes et les visites. I provide pet care in my home, where animals are treated like part of the family and are supervised throughout the day. I follow their routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from owners. Safety is a top priority, and I ensure a secure, pet-friendly home environment at all times. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they are away. Je fournis des services de garde à mon domicile, où les animaux sont traités comme des membres de la famille et supervisés tout au long de la journée. Je respecte leur routine, incluant les repas, les promenades, les jeux et toutes les instructions spécifiques des propriétaires. La sécurité est une priorité, et je m’assure que mon environnement est sécuritaire et adapté aux animaux. J’envoie aussi des nouvelles et des photos régulièrement afin de rassurer les propriétaires pendant leur absence.

Vivianne and her family were just the perfect fit for my Mia. She was very well taken care of and kept sending updates with pictures without me asking. They sincerely cared for Mia and it showed. I would highly recommend vivianne to others as it was the best experience from communication to careing to the amount the charge.

Charlie était très à l’aise avec eux, au point qu’il ne voulait presque plus partir quand je suis venue le chercher ! 😅 Il est revenu calme, détendu et heureux. Je suis très satisfaite de leur service et je les recommande sans hésitation.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm in the Gaspesie but have called Montreal home for 13 years now. Getting to take care of pets is one of the great privileges of my life, and I'd love to shower your dog or cat with love and attention. I've been pet-sitting, walking and doing drop-ins independently for about 6 years now, and I have experience with puppies and kittens. From cuddles to walks in the park, along the water, time spent sunbathing and nearby hikes, let me know what your pet would enjoy, and I'd be happy to keep them occupied. I'm a writer who works from home. My job isn't stressful or fast-paced, so I'm able to give your pet the full attention they deserve. I am home a majority of the day, so your pet will never need to be alone for long. I have a spacious two-floor home, a fenced yard, and a park across the street. There are three friendly cats and one friendly small dog in the house. All of them are well socialized with other animals.

Laila and her husband took amazing care of our Luka while we were away for almost two weeks. She was very attentive to his needs, communicated well with us, and went the extra mile to go get him eye drops when he needed them for his irritated eye, buying the correct food when it ran out since we were on a long trip, and even bought us an extra bag of food so I wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of passing by the pet store while settling back in from my trip. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter, Luka looked to have a great time with them and I will definitely contact them for future trips!

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.

Julia est géniale ! Nous l'avons contactée presque à la dernière minute et elle a tout de suite accueilli notre petit Toby. Quelques jours avant son séjour, elle nous a rappelé ce qu'il fallait apporter pour qu'il passe un séjour agréable. Elle est restée en contact avec nous pendant toute la durée du séjour et nous a envoyé des photos. Toby semblait très à l'aise et a beaucoup apprécié son séjour. Julia sera sans aucun doute notre nouvelle gardienne attitrée. Chez Julia, il se sent comme à la maison. Merci !

Frédérique a été tout simplement fantastique avec mon chat ! Dès le début, elle a été à l'écoute, attentionnée et d'une grande patience. Elle a su respecter son rythme, et il a fini par lui faire entièrement confiance. Il était complètement à l'aise chez elle, ce qui m'a énormément rassurée. Pendant les 15 jours où il est resté avec elle, il a reçu tout l'amour et l'attention qu'il réclamait. Frédérique m'a également tenue au courant tout au long de son séjour en m'envoyant régulièrement des nouvelles et de nombreuses photos de mon chat. Ça m'a permis de partir l'esprit complètement tranquille. Je ne peux que recommander Frédérique. C'est une véritable perle, passionnée, bienveillante et digne de confiance. Un immense merci encore d'avoir pris aussi bien soin de Weasley ! ❤️

She provided regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was also very flexible and accommodating. Most importantly, she took wonderful care of our dog, and we could tell our dog was happy and well looked after. We highly recommend Liu and would not hesitate to book with her again!

She took him on short notice when our other sitter couldn’t go through with the dog-sitting, and was really accommodating and helpful. We would recommend Kaitlyn to anybody to take care of their puppy, especially if they’re anxious!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Saint-Léonard

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Saint-Léonard on Rover is $41.07 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,424 sitters on Rover offering Pet Boarding across Saint-Léonard. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% 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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
