Introduction

Choosing someone to care for your pet is an important decision. Pet owners want a solution that is simple, personal, and suited to their companion’s individual needs.

Founded in Quebec, Gardinou is a Canadian platform that connects pet owners with independent pet sitters. It is expanding gradually across Canada as its community grows.

A Canadian Platform Founded in Quebec

Gardinou was created in Quebec in response to a practical need: making it easier to find a pet sitter while encouraging personal relationships built on trust and proximity.

Its Canadian development makes it possible to consider local realities, pet owners’ needs, and the services offered by sitters in different cities and regions.

Gardinou does not claim to be available everywhere yet. The community is growing progressively as new pet sitters create profiles and offer their services.

Direct and Personal Connections

Gardinou helps pet owners and sitters find one another, but the platform does not provide the pet-care services itself.

Pet owners can browse profiles, review the services offered, and communicate directly with sitters to find someone who meets their pet’s needs.

This approach encourages transparent communication before any agreement is made.

Services Suited to Pets’ Needs

Depending on their availability and experience, pet sitters may offer:

pet boarding in the sitter’s home;
visits to the pet owner’s home;
dog walking;
house sitting in the pet owner’s home.

Not every sitter offers the same services. Pet owners should review each profile and speak directly with the sitter they are considering.

No Commission on Pet Sitters’ Earnings

Gardinou does not charge a commission on pet sitters’ service earnings.

Sitters therefore keep 100% of what they earn, supporting a more direct and transparent relationship within the community.

A Community Focused on Animal Well-Being

Animal well-being is central to Gardinou’s mission.

Every pet has unique habits, a distinct temperament, and individual needs. A thoughtful match allows owners to choose a sitter whose experience and services are suited to their companion.
