About: Je m’occupe des animaux à l’occasion, je garde les chats de mon amoureux quand il est en voyage ainsi que le chien de mon amie quand elle part une journée. J’ai également gardé le chat de cette amie lors d’un voyage. J’ai un horaire de travail standard (9-5 de semaine), je suis dispo le matin, le midi au besoin et le soir, ainsi que les fin de semaine ! J’ai l’habitude de prendre soin des animaux de mon amoureux, de les nourrir, de faire leur litière, de nettoyer leurs dégâts quand il y en a (hahaha!) et, surtout, de leur donner beaucoup d’amour ! Puis, chez mes amis, j’accorde toujours beaucoup d’attention à leurs animaux (ma bonne amie m’a officiellement nommée marraine de son chien).

“Emy a été très à l'aise toute suite à son arrivée. Bien que notre chien Bento n'était pas habitué à se faire garder, elle a su s'adapter à son tempérament pour le mettre à l'aise au maximum. Nous avions une très bonne communication et tout était très propre à notre arrivée. Je la recommande sans problème !”

“Caroline was wonderful with our Lena! Great communication, plenty of updates with photos and videos. Lena has separation anxiety and we saw over the short period of time she was with Caroline the photos went from faces of uncertainty to big smiles. Our house was left very clean and it was a great feeling to come home to. We will definitely book Caroline again!”

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: J'ai travaillé au coeur d'un refuge animalier et d'organismes à but non lucratif ainsi qu'au besoin de l'entourage. J'étends maintenant mon aide ici en espérant faire des heureux :). Besoins particuliers, allergies, handicaps, seniors et bien plus, chacun de vos compagnons a droit au même niveau d'attention et d'amour (avec un faible pour nos seniors ;). Au plaisir de rencontrer vos toutous et matous et de vous donner un coup de patte! I worked with an animal shelter and multiple non-profit organizations as well as relatives & friends. I'm now extending my help here hoping to bring peace of mind to some in need of it :). Specific & special needs, allergies, handicaps, seniors, and many more, each and every one of your companions are as worthy of our love and care (with a small bias for the seniors ;). I am looking forward to meeting your doggies and kitties and lend you a paw! J'ai un horaire pratiquement libre à temps plein en terme de choix sur la ou les journées désirées. Trouvons ensemble le moment idéal pour vos besoins! I currently have almost full time availability in terms of selection of days. Let's try to make it happen within your needs shall we! Mes services se déroulent un à un avec votre ou vos animaux de compagnie. Je ne mixe pas plusieurs clients à moins d'en avoir la demande et ce seulement si les animaux se connaissent déjà sans problème. Pour ma sécurité et celle de tous les animaux sous ma garde, en contact avec l'équipement utilisé entre les différents ménages, je requiers une vaccination à jour, autant chez les chiens que les chats. Je lave mon équipement régulièrement mais je préfère largement prévenir que guérir <3. Une fiche avec les informations nécessaires en cas d'urgence me suit également. Le bien-être et la sécurité de vos compagnons est et sera toujours ma priorité #1. My services are always one on one with your pet(s). I do not mix clients unless specifically requested and solely if all animals previously met eachother without problems. For my own safety and the one of animals under my care coming in contact with equipment used between different homes, I require up to date vaccination for dogs and cats alike. I wash and clean my equipment regularly but I much rather be safe than sorry <3. A form with all necessary information in case of emergency follows me at all time as well. The welfare of your companion is and will always be my #1 priority.

About: ENGLISH: I have been caring for animals since I was 6 years old and have experience with a variety of pets. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each animal’s needs. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning, and providing companionship, and I always strive to ensure pets are safe, healthy, and well cared for while in my care. FRANÇAIS: Je m’occupe d’animaux depuis l’âge de 6 ans et j’ai de l’expérience avec une variété d’animaux de compagnie. Je suis une personne responsable, patiente et attentive aux besoins de chaque animal. Je suis à l’aise avec des tâches comme nourrir, promener, nettoyer et offrir de la compagnie aux animaux. Mon objectif est toujours de m’assurer que chaque animal est en sécurité, heureux et bien pris en charge pendant qu’il est sous mes soins. ENGLISH: I have very flexible schedule and am available nearly every day, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I often accept bookings on short notice and will contact you if anything. FRANÇAIS: J’ai un horaire très flexible et je suis disponible presque tous les jours, y compris les jours de semaine, les fins de semaine et les jours fériés. J’accepte souvent les réservations de dernière minute et je vous contacterai si quelque chose change dans mon horaire. ENGLISH: Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. I always follow the owner's instructions carefully, keep a close eye on pets during walks and visits, and make sure they are in a safe, secure environment. I also believe in clear communication and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely spend time outside under supervision, as well as air conditioning to keep pets comfortable during warmer weather. There are no other animals in my home, creating a calm and quiet environment where your pet can receive my full attention and care. FRANÇAIS: La sécurité et le confort de votre animal sont toujours mes priorités. Je prends le temps d’apprendre à connaître la routine, la personnalité et les besoins particuliers de chaque animal. Je suis toujours attentif aux consignes des propriétaires, je surveille attentivement les animaux pendant les promenades et les visites, et je m’assure qu’ils restent dans un environnement sécuritaire et adapté. Je crois également à l’importance d’une bonne communication et je vous tiendrai au courant avec des messages et des photos afin que vous puissiez avoir l’esprit tranquille pendant votre absence. J’ai une cour entièrement clôturée où les chiens peuvent passer du temps à l’extérieur en toute sécurité sous surveillance, ainsi que la climatisation pour assurer leur confort pendant les périodes de chaleur. Il n’y a aucun autre animal dans ma maison, ce qui crée un environnement calme et paisible où votre animal pourra recevoir toute mon attention et mes soins.

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.

About: Ayant des animaux depuis toute jeune, je comprends très bien la complexité de les faire garder ou bien d'avoir quelqu'un pour s'occuper d'eux (surtout avec la vie, le travail, les enfants etc !). Je considère avoir de très bonnes bases en comportement canin, obéissance, soins de base pour chats, chiens, oiseaux, poissons. J'ai également eu des animaux avec certaines complexités médicales alors sachez que je suis à l'aise avec vos poilus avec besoins particuliers. Mon entourage sait à quel point j'aime mes animaux et ceux de mes proches. J'ai aidé plusieurs personnes près de moi avec leurs animaux et j'ai donc décidé d'offrir ce service via Rover puisque moi-même j'ai eu besoin de ce service et j'ai adoré le fonctionnement. J'ai la chance d'avoir un emploi en mode hybride donc flexibilité, stabilité et présence (surtout pour nos amis anxieux!) c'est ce que j'offre pour la garde. Pour les visites ponctuelles, je peux organiser mon horaire afin de venir faire des visites à votre domicile selon la distance. Ici nous avons une grande cours clôturée donc les chiens peuvent également courir et s'amuser en liberté. Nous avons une superbe piste cyclable à proximité ainsi que des parcs à chiens si c'est ce dont votre animal a besoin. Pour vos chats, le chien et les chats ici sont à l'aise avec des amis et dans le cas où votre animal est plutôt réservé il y a définitivement moyen de lui donner son espace. Pour les visites ponctuelles ou les garde à votre domicile, vos règles sont les miennes ! Votre chien a besoin de se faire chanter une chanson en faisant 2 tours sur moi-même pour qu'il mange ? Je suis partante. Votre chat a besoin de son mantra quotidien pour être heureux? Je suis partante. Aucun paramètre autour du bien-être d'un animal n'est farfelu pour moi 🐕 N'hésitez pas à m'écrire pour avoir plus d'infos. Il me fera plaisir de discuter avec vous!

About: Hi! I've been an animal lover my whole life with a particular love for dogs. I've been caring for my friends' pets for years and then started getting requests from some of their friends, and since I love it and found myself in a position where I need to find some more work, I figured I'd make myself available to more fur babies! I'm really only interested in caring for dogs, though I do love cats too, but there are allergies to contend with. I'm without any animals living here, so your dog can get undivided and attention. I'm happy to have them stay here, take them on frequent walks, and I can offer to work on some basic training skills if you like. I'm also available to walk from your place or just do drop-ins to give them some love! If you need someone to care for and spend some time with your pup, let me know! I'm working on a flexible schedule and often work from home, so I can dedicate my time around the needs of your fur baby. We can discuss your specific needs and make sure it all works. I have no other pets to worry about. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I live in a quiet neighborhood with time for frequent walks. I'm happy to bring your pup to the dog park if you prefer but I typically prefer to take on frequent long walks (if they are able). And for socialization, I have friends with well socialized neutral non-reactive dogs in fenced in yards for playtime (if you like).

About: Je suis présentement étudiante en technique de santé animale. Je suis quelqu'un de responsable, qui prend ses tâches à cœur et qui a le bien-être des animaux en priorité. Je suis propriétaire de 3 chats et de 1 chiens. Je peux donc au temps garder vos chiens que vos chats. Parmi les chats, j'ai un chaton de 3 mois, ce qui signifie que je peux m'occuper aussi de vos chaton. Lorsque j'ai eu mes chiens, je les ai toujours eu chiots, je peux donc m'occuper de chiens de tous âges. Puisque je suis au cégep en technique et que mes cours de base sont déjà fait, j'ai 2 journées dans la semaine qui me permettre de m'occuper d'animaux. Pour ce qui ait de la fin de semaine, je partage la garde de mes animaux avec une autre personne, ce qui me permet aussi de m'occuper d'animaux de fin de semaine. Je prend le temps de faire des promenades adaptées selon les besoins du chiens. J'utilise plusieurs jeux et activités qui leur permettre de dépenser leur énergie tout en apprenant. Je suis les routines déjà établis des animaux pour la nourriture. Je m'assure qu'ils aient toujours de l'eau et qu'ils sortent pour faire leur besoin fréquemment.

FAQs for House Sitting - Carignan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Carignan is $64 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $125 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 1,140 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Carignan. 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 Carignan 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 Carignan 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 Carignan 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.

  • 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.
