Why Gardinou Offers a Different Approach from Rover and Pawshake?
Updated: Sep 3
A Canadian Platform Designed for Pet Owners and Pet Sitters
When we created Gardinou, our goal was not to copy existing pet-sitting platforms. Instead, we wanted to build a Canadian platform inspired by the needs of local pet owners and independent pet sitters.
Designed and anchored in Canada, Gardinou connects pet owners with trusted independent pet sitters across Canada. Our mission is simple: provide a Canadian platform built on trust, transparency and animal well-being.
Putting Pet Owners and Sitters First
At Gardinou, we believe a platform should make it easier for pet owners and sitters to connect.
Our role is to simplify introductions while allowing both parties to build a direct and transparent relationship.
Sitters Keep 100% of Their Earnings
One of the biggest differences at Gardinou is our business model.
Unlike many platforms that charge commissions on sitters' earnings, Gardinou does not deduct any commission from pet sitters' service income.
Sitters set their own prices and keep 100% of what they earn.
We believe that people who care for animals should keep the fruit of their labor.
Pet Owners Pay Only the Sitter's Price
Pet owners using Gardinou do not pay platform fees.
They simply pay the price agreed upon with the pet sitter.
We believe this creates a more transparent and affordable experience for everyone.
A Platform Anchored in Canada
Gardinou was born in Canada with the ambition to build a community nationwide. Our goal is to build a trusted Canadian community where pet owners and independent sitters can connect more easily.
We understand the Canadian market and want to offer a platform designed for Canadians.
Building Trust Through Human Connections
Technology can facilitate introductions, but trust is built through communication. Before a booking, pet owners and sitters can discuss the pet's routine, needs and expectations to ensure the best possible experience.
Why Choose Gardinou?
Gardinou offers:
a Canadian platform founded in Quebec;
direct connections between pet owners and sitters;
no commission on sitters' earnings;
no platform fees for pet owners;
a community focused on trust and animal well-being.
A Canadian Alternative

Gardinou offers a different vision: a Canadian platform committed to supporting local communities while making pet care more transparent for both owners and sitters.
Conclusion
At Gardinou, we believe pet care should be based on trust, transparency and genuine human relationships.
Our goal is to build a growing Canadian community where pet owners and independent sitters can connect with confidence while providing the best possible care for companion animals.
