About: My wife and I both grew up in homes with dogs, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of our lives. We understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks and we genuinely enjoy getting to know them. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply keeping your pet comfortable while you’re away, we’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. We’re also comfortable with dogs of different ages and needs, from energetic pups to seniors who need a little extra patience. Most importantly, we know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. We’re dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets with the same kindness and respect we give our own. I work from home, which makes it easy to fit pet care into my day. I’m already active with walks and workouts, so including dogs or cats in my routine feels natural. Whether it’s morning, evening, or weekends, I can give pets the consistency and attention they need. I work from home, so pets are never left alone for long. I’m active and make sure dogs get plenty of walks, play, and attention. In your home, I follow routines exactly as you lay them out, keeping pets comfortable in their own space. I create a safe, calm environment where they feel looked after like family.
About: I grew up with animals in the home and I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience! I also have the energy levels to keep up with even the highest energy dogs. Aside from a few hours during the week, I work from home. I can adjust my schedule for the most part to ensure every pets needs are met. I live in an apartment with plenty of nearby parks to take them to play. My building is very safe when it comes to other animals being well behaved. I also don't take on multiple pets so your pet will receive all the attention it needs. When I'm pet sitting in your home I like to follow a similar routine to what your pet is used to. In terms of eating, playtime, going to the bathroom etc. That way while you're away they feel more comfortable and safe.

“We had a wonderful experience with Celia! She took amazing care of our dog, Maggie, and our cat, Theo, and we felt completely comfortable having her stay in our home. She was attentive, responsible, and reliable, and bonded so well with our pets and our family. She also took great care of our house and left it spotless — honestly, probably even cleaner than we left it! It was such a relief knowing everything was in good hands while we were away. We’d happily recommend Celia to anyone looking for someone they can trust to care for their pets and home. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“We had a great experience with Samuel! He looked after Pepette and Maasai for an evening, and everything went smoothly. Samuel is friendly, reliable, and caring. We were able to enjoy our evening knowing our two dogs were in good hands. We would happily book with him again and definitely recommend him!”
“Chantal was wonderful. My pups were well cared for and my home was spotless when I returned. Chantal took the time to set the routine with the dogs and I could tell she understood their needs and quirks and made sure they were comfortable. I would absolutely have Chantal back again!”
“Lisette a été une gardienne exceptionnelle. Elle a pris soin de Jonesy avec beaucoup de douceur et générosité. Elle me donnait des nouvelles et photos. La maison était impeccable lorsque nous sommes rentrés. Je vais faire à nouveau appel à ses services avec une grande joie et confiance.”
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I've been around dogs and cats that lived with me, and that friends/family asked me to care for. I love them and enjoy caring for them. I currently work at a vet clinic (part time), so I am informed and can easily recognize signs of illness/poisoning/injury in pets, especially cats and dogs. I work full time and am a university student part-time. While I have a weird schedule, I am also available for up to 10-15 hours/week, on weekends, weekdays, mornings and evenings. I always make sure to inform myself as much as possible on your pets' personality and needs, and will make sure I do exactly what you would do if you were home, so as to not make your pet anxious. I am careful, focused, and would rather be safe than sorry when it comes to others' pets. I know how I would want someone to take care of my cats, so I would take care of your pet as if they were my own.
About: I have been around and taken care of many family and friends pets, on occasion, throughout my life. I just recently officially introduced myself to the pet owner life. No matter the personality or energy level of your pet I am ready to be there and take care. I mainly work as an actor. This means that most of the time I have off unless I have a role. Due to the fact that my availability is completely open most of time and I am not fixed to a weekly schedule, I am able to offer my services any time. Even last minute. The owner would be fully aware of anything I can/will do. I am there to not only take care of your pet but also your home.
“Hiba was amazing with our 1 year old dog Lucy and our adult cat Nina! She was very attentive and made sure to get and follow all the relevant info for both pets. She was very sweet yet very professional. She knew how to handle our dog and it showed she had experience with puppies in the past. Would not hesitate to call her again to sit for our pets :-) Thanks again Hiba!”
About: I’ve always loved animals, and especially have a soft spot for small dogs, since that’s what I grew up with. I have experience caring for friends' and family members' pets, making sure to meet each animal’s individual needs. I have a gentle, calm, and caring nature that pets seem to respond well to, and I enjoy nature walks and spending time outdoors! I love getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved, and I look forward to providing your pets with the same care, patience, and affection I would give my own. Currently working on my Aesthetician certification, hoping to use my dedication to pet care to support me through school. Message me for details for scheduling although my time is very flexible. Since my apartment isn’t the best fit for having pets over, I’ll be focusing on dog walking and caring for pets in their own homes when it feels like a good fit. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone, so I want to make sure both you and your pet feel at ease. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet, follow their usual routines, and make sure they get plenty of care, attention, and affection. Whether it’s going for a nice walk or keeping them company at home, I want them to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dollard-Des Ormeaux
Hope is a wonderful house and dog sitter. Both Archie and Mocha took to her immediately and treated her like their own 😆. They were happy and content and she followed all the schedules and instructions to make my trip as easy on them as possible. She provided continuous updates and many photos that made me smile don't feel good while I was away. She also left the house in perfect shape for my return. I already have her booked for my next long-term trip.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Dollard-Des Ormeaux 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 Dollard-Des Ormeaux 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 Dollard-Des Ormeaux 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.
