“Ekaterina est géniale! Trouver quelqu'un de confiance pour garder un chien anxieux et réactif envers les étrangers peut être difficile, mais son expérience en comportement canin m'a beaucoup rassuré. C'est une vraie professionnelle, en plus d'être toujours sympathique :) Je la recommande chaudement.”

“Naïla took amazing care of our cat Tonks while we were away for 4 days! When we came home, Tonks was calm, happy, and purring away, a testament to the tenderness, presence, and attentiveness Naïla showed during her visits. Naïla has taken care of our dog and cat many times now, and we trust her wholeheartedly.”

About: I have volunteered at a veterinary clinic and worked at a doggy daycare where I have learned and had experience handling many different breeds and types of dogs. I am confident in my skills and love being around dogs. I owned a beagle mix for 10 beautiful years full energy. He needed lots of exercise, as I'm sure your little one may need as well. So, if your dog needs a little more than a 30-minute walk just let me know. If there is a date or time that is not available on the calendar but you need someone, please send me a message. I am happy to provide any pictures and/or videos of the walk. If you have any questions please do no hesitate to ask me about anything that may be on your mind. I am taking pets on a case-by-case basis. I have a full-time job but will continue to do this as long as I can. I respect everyone’s home as much as my own. I believe in a clean and safe environment. If you need me to get something from inside I will, if not I will not go past the door (provided that all the pet’s items are nearby).

About: I am experienced and comfortable with pets of all shapes and sizes. I've been been told I am the dog whisperer, and am the go to dog walker and pet sitter for my friends. I have also cared for numerous cats over the years. I take great care to introduce myself to new animals slowly and at their pace. Nothing makes me happier than making a new furry friend, so whatever that takes I am willing to do. I am experienced with dogs small, large, and everything in-between. I love dogs in all stages of life, but have an especially soft spot for senior dogs. I am very experienced with senior dog care, as my beloved Buffy spent the last 2 years of her life with reduced mobility and increased needs. I'm very happy to move at their pace, or even pull them around in Buffy's wagon. I also have experience working with reactive dogs and managing their needs to ensure they have the best experiences possible. Every dog deserves to be met where they are and have access to enriching and fun activities. My schedule is very flexible. I am located on the Plateau and have a vehicle so I am happy to travel and get to wherever you are. My current apartment unfortunately does not allow pets, so I am unable to board, but I live near Parc Lafontaine, have a vehicle, and I am happy to travel to your pets.

About: I've always taken care of friends or family dogs. They seem to like me very much and I am always happy around them. So are they! I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for dog care, walks and leisure. I'm available most of the day, morning or afternoon. I have a fenced backyard and a little girl that loves to play with dogs. She also has friends over who enjoy dogs as well.

About: Hello pet parents! 👋🐾 I'm Jules, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to two cats, Thunder and Kabisou. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your pets while you're away. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in your home. Depending on your pet's routine, my visits can include walks, playtime, feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic care as instructed, and—of course—plenty of attention and affection. As a longtime pet owner, I have hands-on experience caring for cats and understanding their very different personalities, boundaries, and routines. I'm also comfortable caring for dogs, rabbits, and other pets. I take the time to learn about each animal before caring for them, including their routine, personality, favourite activities, feeding schedule, and anything that might make them nervous or uncomfortable. I'm patient with animals who need a little extra time to feel comfortable around someone new. I don't believe in forcing interactions—I let them approach me at their own pace and work on building their trust. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate walks, daytime visits, evening visits, and pet-sitting depending on your needs. When I'm caring for your pet, I want you to feel reassured too, so I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos while you're away. For pet sitting, I provide care in your home so your pet can stay somewhere familiar, surrounded by their usual smells, toys, bed, and routine. I currently don't offer boarding in my own home because I already share my space with Thunder and Kabisou. Whether you need someone to walk your dog, check in on your cat while you're away, or simply give your pet some company and care during a busy day, I'll treat them with the same patience, attention, and kindness I'd want for my own pets. I'd love to meet you and your pets! 🐶🐱🐰 Pet care has been part of my routine for about five years, so I’m used to planning my days around the pets I care for. I have flexible availability throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, an evening visit, or care while you’re away, I’ll do my best to accommodate their usual schedule and keep their routine as consistent as possible. Since I provide care in my clients’ homes, I understand that you’re trusting me with two very important things: your pet and your home. I carefully follow all instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, doors and gates, interactions with other animals, and any specific safety precautions. I also make sure your home is left secure and respected after every visit. I believe good pet care starts with trust, communication, and attention to detail. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during my visits so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving the care they deserve.

“We had a fantastic experience with Valentina! She took such great care of our pets—lots of playtime, attention, and love. It was clear they were comfortable and happy with her. She also went above and beyond around the house, keeping everything tidy and even helping out with our backyard plants. Valentina kept us updated throughout our trip with regular pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind about both the pets and the house. Highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”

About: I grew up in a happily chaotic household with multiple cats and dogs, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life! Now that I’m away from home, I’m excited to get some extra furry companionship and give your pets all the love and attention they deserve. I’m a very active person and would love to take your dogs on nice, long walks, get outside, and make sure they have plenty of exercise and stimulation. I also spent two years working in a dog grooming environment back in Calgary, so I have some experience handling dogs and can potentially help with nail trims if needed! I’m also a cat owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your little family members. Whether your pet needs an adventure buddy, some company while you’re away, or just a little extra affection, I’d love to help! 🐾 I'm currently a university student, and the majority of my classes are online! So my availability is very flexible. I'm typically available anytime between 10:00AM-2:00PM, and 5:00PM-Late. Early mornings work as well! While I’m not currently offering boarding in my own home, I have plenty of experience caring for pets in their own homes! I understand the trust and vulnerability involved in opening your home to someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m committed to respecting your space, your privacy, and your pet’s boundaries while making sure your furry family feels safe and comfortable. I'm happy to follow your pets usual routines, keep them company, and ensure they are well taken care of while you're away.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’m now a Shiba Inu dog mom and I’ve raised since he was a puppy so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. Having him has taught me a lot about patience, routines, and how different every dog’s personality can be. I also have experience caring for cats and really enjoy getting to know each pet and what makes them feel comfortable. Whether that means going for walks, playing, keeping them company, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I try to make things feel as normal as possible while their family is away. I’m also a certified dog groomer, which has given me even more hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. I currently offer house sitting and pet sitting in your home, so I can keep your pets comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. My schedule can be flexible depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, playtime, sleep, and care schedule while you’re away. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to follow the routine and instructions their family provides. I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything else related to their safety. I also respect your home and will make sure your pet receives plenty of supervision, affection, playtime, walks, and quiet time depending on their personality and needs. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you know how they’re doing.

“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Betsy while I was away. From the very beginning, Janelle was warm, caring, responsible, and so attentive to Betsy’s needs. She kept me updated with photos and videos, which meant so much to me and gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious from the happy, playful, engaged Betsy I saw in those updates that she was comfortable, loved, and very well cared for. Janelle was also wonderful about following all of Betsy’s routines and little quirks. I came home to a happy, healthy little dog—and that says everything. I’m incredibly grateful to Janelle for taking such wonderful care of my little girl. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet. Thank you, Janelle, for giving me such peace of mind and for treating Betsy with so much love and care. ❤️”

It was our first experience with dog sitting, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person than Ekaterina. She is truly an angel! 🤍 From the moment Mylo met her, we immediately felt comfortable and reassured. Mylo can be a little anxious, and Ekaterina knew exactly how to approach him, make him feel comfortable, and help him stay calm. She is incredibly organized, caring, and attentive. Throughout our entire vacation, she kept us updated with pictures, videos, and little updates about Mylo. Since it was our first time leaving him with someone, this made such a huge difference for us. We felt completely safe and reassured knowing that he was happy and in good hands. What surprised me the most was actually seeing a difference in Mylo when we came back from vacation. He seemed calmer and more relaxed, which really showed me how comfortable and well taken care of he had been with Ekaterina. It was an amazing experience from beginning to end, and we are so grateful to have found her. I would 100% recommend Ekaterina to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, patient, and genuinely caring to look after their dog. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Mylo! 🐾🤍

Anja is truly an animal lover. She took looked after our senior dog with care and compassion. He needs a fairly structured routine, as well as requiring supplements with his twice daily meals and drops in his eyes. This can be overwhelming to some but Anja handled it like a professional. The minute we returned home, we knew it had gone well. We found our boy in the same health and mindset that he had when we untrusted him to this wonderful person. Anja left our house clean and tidy, none of our personal belongings were disturbed or damaged. She took such good care of our boy, that he spent the evening looking out the window for her to come back. In all a wonderful experience, we will definitely be booking her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Candiac

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Candiac is $70 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $70 per night. On Rover, sitters 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.

As of November 2026, there are 1,151 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Candiac. About 86% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Candiac maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Candiac walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

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 Candiac 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!

You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.

If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.

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.

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.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.

If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.

For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
