“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.”

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.

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.

About: I have had cats, dogs and birds since childhood and then raised my children with dogs, cats, Iguanas and hamsters. We all love animals. I am also a certified senior caregiver, recently retired and have references which I am willing to share. Cats and dogs and other pets are truly innocent babies and deserve all the love and care we give to our own children ❤️ I take care of my families pets while they are away and vice versa. I am very recently retired from Senior care and am looking for some fun part time work with some darling little, or big, pet clients! ❤️ I live in a condo and have a small dog, a Boston Terrier mix, that I take for walks on the grounds and in the park. For my client’s larger dogs I would prefer to care for them in their own home.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, from playful younger dogs who need plenty of activity to seniors who prefer a slower pace. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic care, and giving dogs plenty of attention and company. I take time to learn each dog’s normal routine, personality, and any instructions from their owner so their care feels familiar and comfortable. I’m patient, reliable, and happy to send regular photo updates while you’re away. My schedule is currently very open and flexible, so I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to give your cat attention, company, and care. I’m available throughout the week for boarding and drop-in visits, and I can often accommodate different feeding schedules, longer visits, or last-minute requests. I’m happy to keep your cat’s routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away. I have a spacious, tidy two-bedroom apartment where I can provide a calm and comfortable environment for visiting cats. I keep my home clean and make sure potentially unsafe areas are secure. My balcony stays closed and visiting cats will never have unsupervised balcony access. I also give cats plenty of time and space to settle in and adjust at their own pace rather than forcing interaction.

About: Ever since I was little, we've had pets in our home. From small dogs to large rescues. Cats too. I've dog-sat for many people around me, and now I'm offering my humble services to you! I'm fortunate to set my own schedule, so my availability is broad and flexible. The only days I'm unavailable are Tuesday through Thursday evenings. It'll be a pleasure to hear from you I always prioritize the owners' requests. Then I adapt to the animal's personality as best I can! Keeping a close eye on the animal and providing them with a warm and enjoyable environment.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog. That experience taught me how important patience, routine, trust, and attention are when looking after someone’s pet. I’m reliable, caring, and will always treat your dog like they’re my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My schedule is very flexible, and pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I usually work out in the mornings a few days a week, but I’m free most of the day and can make plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping your pet company. I’ll always make sure I only accept bookings where I can give your dog the time, care, and attention they deserve. I prefer caring for pets in their own home or taking them on walks, where they can stay comfortable in a familiar routine. I follow all owner instructions carefully and make sure each pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for. During walks, I stay attentive, patient, and responsible at all times.

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: I've grown up around animals my whole life — German Shepherds, an English Staffy, and cats over the years. Right now I have a 10-month-old kitten of my own, so I know the energy (and mischief) young pets bring. I work from home, which means your pet is never left alone during the day. I'm in an apartment with a large grassy area and parks nearby for dog walks, and I'm fully set up for cats. My two kids (3 and 6) are gentle and great with animals. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than around it. I'm here for feeding, walks, play, and check-ins throughout the day and evening, with flexibility on timing. Weekends are open too, and pets are never left alone for long stretches. In my home, pets stay in a calm apartment with a large grassy area and nearby parks for walks. I keep cats and dogs comfortable, watch feeding and litter or bathroom routines, and make sure everyone has their own space. Because I work from home, I can spot anything off early. In a client's home, I follow your routines closely and keep your space exactly as you left it.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dollard-Des Ormeaux

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Dollard-Des Ormeaux on Rover is $54 per night as of October 2026.

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 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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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 .

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

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
