About: Hi! I’m a bilingual (English/French) dog lover based in LaSalle.

I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available evenings and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m committed to providing dependable care and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I will treat your pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions carefully, maintain routines, and ensure pets feel secure and comfortable while in my care. I provide a calm, patient, and loving environment and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away

About: I have many years of experience dealing with dogs & puppies - having had a couple of them myself. I treat dogs with love and care, always tailoring to each individual pup. I also have experience in dealing with reactive dogs and physical issues (tri-pods). I love spending time with dogs and making them feel happy and taken care of :) Just starting out on this journey - have always wanted to do this as I love spending time and playing with dogs … what better time to do this than now! I work full time but only in office Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday - I also live right next to my office so able to go home at lunch or at any time during the day! Other than that, home all the time! Lots of playing and cuddles! I live in a quiet neighbourhood, close to dog parks and green areas/parks. I can tailor to you and your dogs needs - whether your dog needs to be in a crate or not, special needs or requests, anything to make you and your furry friend comfortable!
About: Bonjour! Je m’appelle Roxanne et je suis entourée de chiens depuis plusieurs années. Mon propre chien, Loki, a maintenant 3 ans et, disons-le, il m’a obligée à en apprendre beaucoup sur les soins, l’éducation et la gestion des cocos à quatre pattes! Même s’il n’est pas toujours le plus brillant, j’ai réussi à lui enseigner les commandes de base ainsi que quelques tours supplémentaires. Je le promène deux fois par jour : une fois en après-midi et une autre en soirée avant le coucher. Je travaille à temps partiel de 7 h à 15 h 30, ce qui me permet d’offrir mes services aux propriétaires qui travaillent de soir ou de nuit. Que ce soit pour une promenade occasionnelle ou un besoin régulier, n’hésitez pas à me contacter. I also speak English if needed! Just send me a message :) **My schedule changes each week, I’ll do my best to accommodate you. Mon horaire chaque chaque semaine, je vais faire de mon mieux pour vous accommoder.** Mes disponibilités varient selon les semaines! Je travaille une fin de semaine sur deux ainsi que certains jours de semaine. J’adore marcher, peu importe la météo : soleil, pluie ou neige, ça ne me fait pas peur! Je peux m’occuper de certaines médications, brossage, pratiques de “tricks” ainsi que simplement brûler leur énergie. J’ai aussi une voiture ainsi que des ceintures de sécurité pour chien!
About: I grew up with 30+ bunnies in my backyard, and had 3 cats. My mom still has 2 rescued dogs and 4 rescued cats and 1 bird that i babysit sometimes while working from home. I currently live with my sister that has a small pugchi mix so i’m used to being the babysitter for her as well when she goes to work or on trips. I took care of 2 ex-boyfriend’s dogs that were a german shepherd and a golden retriever. I work from home 100% of the time (so I can stay for as long as needed and give your home and furry friends all the love and attention they deserve!) All i need is for you to have reliable Wi-Fi i can connect to in order to work. Im able to give your pet attention throughout the whole day and go for potty breaks when needed. Walks would be before work, during lunchbreak and after work. I speak FR and EN. I can give you updates and pictures as much as you need to feel like your baby is safe. I’m a very calm person and would be working on my computer wether it’s a weekday or weekend so your home is in good hands. I can also do a house clean for a fee if you’re interested.
“I can’t say enough good things about Sara. I found myself in a pinch and needed short-notice pet care, and Sara completely saved the day. Not only was she incredibly accommodating and responsive, but she also took fantastic care of my dog. It’s clear she truly loves animals, and my pup was relaxed and happy in her care. If you need a reliable, kind, and trustworthy pet sitter, Sara is the one!”
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.
“Mason is really great. He makes you feel comfortable from the start. I knew he was someone I can trust with my little furry treasures even from the first meeting. Will continue to use his services and no one else.”
About: When I lived with my parents, I took care of my puppy with my mom, we bought food and toys, gave her bath, walk and run with her a lot, clipped nails and brushed. Prefer drop-in visits to walk a dog, which I can do everyday except Wednesday. Prefer weekends, I'm typically free on Thursday afternoons, Saturdays, and Sundays. I can give your pets walks, feed them, play with them, and update with you. I live in an apartment downtown where I don't have pets.
“Melissa did a great job looking after Mona while I was away for a few days, looking forward to having her look after my cat again, hopefully this time Mona is not too skidish haha.”
About: I believe animals are always communicating with us, and I approach pet care by listening first and responding with patience and care. I have 12 years of experience with my own dog and have worked through reactivity, anxiety, fear of noises, and leash pulling using positive reinforcement. I have worked with multiple trainers over the years and have spent a lot of time learning about dog behaviour and psychology, which has shaped how I care for animals today. I pay close attention to body language and subtle cues like freezing, yawning, or disengaging. When a dog seems overwhelmed, I focus on helping them feel safe and settled by creating space, choosing calmer routes or environments, or redirecting them toward something grounding. With shy or nervous dogs, I always let them approach on their own terms and give them the freedom to take breaks or step away when needed. I also believe in balancing physical and mental stimulation. Along with fulfilling walks, I enjoy incorporating enrichment like sniffing games, confidence-building activities, and gentle training. These activities work well for high-energy dogs and can also help more nervous or shy dogs feel comfortable and confident. I have experience caring for large and small dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, as well as administering medication including pills, liquids, topical treatments, and ear drops. I am very comfortable following vet instructions and care routines, and I tend to be very organized and attentive to detail. Above all, I genuinely care about each animal’s wellbeing and individuality. I use patience, positive reinforcement, and observation as the foundation of my care, and I always do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. I’m currently a work-from-home professional so I am quite flexible time and space wise. I am available at virtually any time and can readily offer overnight care in your home while you’re away. With a persistent attention to detail, I frequently look out for when an animal is trying to communicate a need, such as them wanting water, to play, to eat, to be pet, etc. I always ensure they have fresh, clean water and that they are fed the appropriate amount and on time. I also like to spend quality time with them giving them belly rubs and and behind-the-ear scratches. I also look out for their safety by keeping things that might be dangerous out of reach as well as checking in on them frequently to make sure they are doing well :)
“I had a great experience with Catherine - she took care of my two cats while I was away, shared daily feedback and the photos! I’m sure I’ll ask her again when I need someone to look after them 💛”
“Jane did a phenomenal job caring for my senior cat while I was away. She provided thorough updates and photos that gave me great confidence that my girl was being well cared for. I am beyond satisfied with her services and would absolutely book with her again in the future.”
About: I have always grown up around dogs. I frequently dog sat, and trained neighbors dogs from a young age. My approach is calm and direct while giving dogs the time and space to process, learn, and make their own decisions. I continue to educate myself and I've recently completed an Animal Welfare and Behaviour course. I currently work a M-F, 9-5, job but am available for early morning or evening visits during the week. I like to go for walks daily and when I'm home, I spend lots of time with my cat Chloe. I am very respectful of others belongings. With pets, I ensure that we vary between periods of calm and periods of high energy. I will ask to understand what behaviors are tolerated in your household, and will respect and maintain your boundaries with your pets.
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 currently own a beagle mix who is about 9 years old and full of energy. He needs 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 dates that are 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 am looking for 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've been around dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Growing up, there was always a pet in my home, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life since childhood. Over the years, I've gained experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I've learned that every animal has unique needs and deserves patient, loving care. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship, and I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I'll take the time to follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication (if needed), and any special preferences or restrictions.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Dorval stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Dorval 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!
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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
