House Sitting Bourget

About: I grew up surrounded by animals, taking care of their wants, needs and ensuring a safe environment! I love animals and enjoy providing life enrichment! I am currently looking for part-time work, and am looking to provide this service! I am very flexible to suit the needs of your pet and how you want their day to look! I have a fenced yard, surrounded by parks and have two friendly dogs to keep them company! I could easily follow a given schedule or routine.

“Jennifer is a fantastic sitter! She knows how to put anxious pets at ease, not to mention anxious pet parents. She sent so many photos and videos throughout the stay. It was reassuring to see my babies so happy in all the photos and videos. It was also easy to see how much she loves animals. I wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer.”

“Ramona was excellent with our very nervous boy. Kevin is very wary of new people, and we've only had him for a few months. Ramona was patient and eventually won him over. She maintained constant communication and gave us photo and written updates. We were able to enjoy our time away and be confident that Kevin was receiving the best care.”

Karim P.

“Our pup loved her time with Mattie. She kept us updated and lots of pictures to keep our mind at peace knowing she was in great care! Tons of outdoor time and she came home exhausted!”

“Third time Melanie has looked after Rosie in our home! As always, we appreciate Melanie's cheerful & dedicated approach to the role, and we can tell how much Rosie loves Melanie by how she misses her (and looks for her!) after we return. Melanie saved Rosie from a groundhog on this stay, so there's never a dull moment!”

“Katie took care of our dog and stayed at our house for 4 days over March break. She took great care of Mondu and provided lots of updates. We are happy to have found such a great dog/house sitter and hope to book again with her!”

Alyssa H.

“What lovely people! They were so attentive to detail and took such great care. I felt very calm and relieved to have them watch my girl while I was away. I will definitely book again :)”

“Nevaeh responded to my request right away, even though it was very last minute and I needed her the very next day. She was warm, friendly, and delightful from the moment she came to meet us. My dog, Peaches, was recovering from some severe stomach issues earlier that week, and Nevaeh took excellent care of her, giving me real peace of mind while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nevaeh to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. I will definitely be using her again!”

Lori B.

“Kayla was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our home and, most importantly, looked after our golden retriever, Archie, so well. We came home to a happy dog and a house that was exactly as we left it. Kayla was responsible, caring, communicative, and a pleasure to have stay. We would happily recommend her and have her look after Archie and our home again anytime.”

Jason S.

“Abigail was a great pet sitter for our fur babies. Kept us updated with messages and pics while we were away which alleviated any concerns we had about our dogs. Our flight was delayed a few days and Abigail kindly accommodated our request for an extension and the transfer of our dogs to a family member. Left our house spotless. We will definitely be calling on her again.”

Gail F.

“Mala was the absolute best! She was so thorough with her care and communication. I always knew how the pets were doing, and I knew they were safe and well cared for when they were with her. I highly recommend Mala to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter, you won’t be disappointed and you will have a care free vacation with her taking care of them!”

About: I have over a year and a half of hands-on experience working at a doggy daycare, and I absolutely loved every minute of it! My role involved supervising dogs throughout the day, making sure they stayed safe, happy, and active. I spent lots of time playing with them, encouraging exercise, and getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I also provided dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care for clients, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs both at home and in new environments. On top of my professional experience, I’ve grown up with large dogs my entire life, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every dog as if they were my own. I recently moved to the area for college, so my schedule is completely open until September. That means I have lots of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your schedule and do my best to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever I can! Since I live in an apartment, I currently provide care in my clients’ homes. I always try to stick to your dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m happy to take dogs on long walks, play with them outside in a fenced yard or indoors, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I’m also comfortable with dogs who like to cuddle or sleep with someone at night if that’s what they’re used to. I’ll make sure your dog has fresh water, is fed according to your instructions, gets lots of potty breaks, and receives plenty of love and companionship. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for until you return.

About: EN/FR Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've been around dogs of many different breeds, both growing up and through pet sitting, including Pit Bulls, Chihuahuas, Huskies, German Shepherds, Miniature Shih Tzus, Beagles, Dachshunds, and many more. Over the past three years, my partner and I have completed numerous house and pet sits while traveling around the world. This experience has given us the opportunity to care for dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities, routines, and individual needs in many different environments. House sitting has now become a full-time lifestyle for us. I am also comfortable administering certain medications (depending on the method of administration) and place great importance on respecting each pet's routine so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away. --------------------- Je suis entourée d'animaux depuis aussi longtemps que ma mémoire me le permet. J'ai eu des chiens de plusieurs races dans mon entourage, à la maison ainsi qu'en garde, notamment des Pitbulls, Chihuahuas, Huskys, Bergers allemands, Shih Tzus miniatures, Beagles, Teckels et beaucoup plus. Au cours des trois dernières années, mon conjoint et moi avons réalisé de nombreux gardiennages de maisons et d'animaux pendant nos voyages à travers le monde. Cette expérience nous a permis de prendre soin de chiens et de chats aux personnalités, routines et besoins très variés, dans différents environnements. Le housesitting est devenu un mode de vie pour nous maintenant qu'on le fait à temps plein. Je suis également à l'aise d'administrer certains médicaments (selon le type d'administration) et j'accorde une grande importance au respect des habitudes de chaque animal afin qu'il se sente en sécurité, détendu et aimé pendant votre absence. EN/FR We manage our own schedule, which gives us a great deal of flexibility throughout the week. Since we both work remotely and have made house and pet sitting our full-time lifestyle, our daily routine naturally revolves around the needs of the pets in our care. Born and raised in Montreal, we've been together for over 10 years. Our years of house sitting have taught us how to quickly adapt to new homes, respect each family's routines, stay organized, and handle unexpected situations with a calm approach. When we're not working, we enjoy cooking, spending time outdoors, staying active, watching movies, and continually learning new skills. This balanced lifestyle allows us to provide pets with plenty of companionship, affection, and attentive care while their families are away. --------------------- Nous gérons notre propre horaire, ce qui nous offre une grande flexibilité au quotidien. Nous travaillons tous les deux à distance et avons fait du gardiennage de maisons et d'animaux notre mode de vie à temps plein. Nos journées s'organisent donc naturellement autour des besoins des animaux dont nous prenons soin. Originaires de Montréal et en couple depuis plus de 10 ans, nous sommes habitués à nous adapter rapidement à de nouveaux environnements et à respecter les habitudes de chaque foyer. Notre expérience de plusieurs années en housesitting nous a appris à être organisés et à gérer les imprévus avec calme. Lorsque nous ne travaillons pas, nous aimons cuisiner, profiter du plein air, faire de l'activité physique, regarder des films et continuer à apprendre de nouvelles choses. Cette routine équilibrée nous permet d'offrir une présence attentionnée, beaucoup d'affection et du temps de qualité aux animaux qui nous sont confiés. EN/FR We exclusively offer pet sitting in our clients' homes. We believe pets are happiest and most relaxed when they can remain in their familiar environment, surrounded by the routines and comforts they know. Our priority is to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (when required), and all the little habits that help them feel safe and comfortable. We also treat your home with the same care and respect we would our own. We believe good communication is essential, so we're happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos while you're away, giving you complete peace of mind. If you have any questions, we'd be happy to answer them and discuss your expectations so you can feel completely confident entrusting us with your home and your pets. --------------------- Nous offrons exclusivement des services de garde à votre domicile. Nous croyons que les animaux sont généralement plus heureux et détendus lorsqu'ils restent dans leur environnement familier, où leurs habitudes et leurs repères sont préservés. Notre priorité est de respecter votre routine autant que possible : heures des repas, promenades, jeux, médication (au besoin), ainsi que toutes les petites habitudes qui contribuent au bien-être de votre compagnon. Nous traitons également votre maison avec le même soin et le même respect que si c'était la nôtre. Nous aimons maintenir une bonne communication avec les propriétaires en donnant des nouvelles régulières, accompagnées de photos ou de vidéos, afin que vous puissiez profiter de votre absence en toute tranquillité. Si vous avez la moindre question, il nous fera plaisir d'y répondre et de discuter de vos attentes afin que vous puissiez faire un choix en toute confiance.

“Laura and Nelly were amazing with our pets while we were away! I was so nervous to leave them, as one of our dogs has epilepsy, and it is the first time we’ve travelled since he’s been having symptoms. Although he did have an episode while we were gone, Laura and Nelly handled it like experts, and kept me informed and calm the entire time. I cannot thank them enough!! I would never hesitate to request their service again, and highly recommend them to others!!”

About: Having grown up with an English Springer Spaniel, I’ve had firsthand experience caring for dogs through every stage of life. In addition, I have many years of pet sitting and dog walking experience, working with energetic puppies as well as senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach.

Safety and comfort are extremely important to me, I want your pet to feel at home, relaxed and safe in their environment and I am happy providing any services that help them achieve this.
