About: Les animaux font partie de ma vie depuis toujours! J’ai de l’expérience auprès des chiens et des chats, notamment ceux qui nécessitent des soins particuliers. Ayant moi-même pris soin, pendant plusieurs années, d’un sphynx ayant des besoins spécifiques, je suis familière avec les soins de peau, d’hygiène dentaire et l’attention supplémentaire que certaines races demandent. Douce, patiente et attentionnée, je m’adapte aux besoins et au rythme de chaque animal, qu’il ait besoin de médicaments, de soins particuliers ou simplement de beaucoup d’affection. Mon objectif : que votre compagnon se sente en sécurité, aimé et traité comme un vrai petit prince ou une vraie petite princesse! ❤️ Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember : dogs (small and bigger ones!), cats, and everything in between. I recently said goodbye to my beloved Sphynx, who had several special needs, and caring for him taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, and understanding each animal’s unique needs. I’m naturally gentle, affectionate, and attentive, and I truly believe animals deserve to feel safe, loved, and respected. I have hands-on experience caring for special-needs cats and dogs, and I’m comfortable with animals who need a little extra patience, medication, routine, or reassurance. ❤️ I have a lot of free time and my schedule is very flexible. I'm available weekdays and weekends! I have lots of love to give! 🥰 I would prefer to care for your pet in your own house, because I think it's the best way to reduce stress to the maximum for your animals.

“Couldn’t recommend more. It was the first time we had a house/pet sitter and Emily and Nic were great. Super attentive, kept us informed and gave us peace of mind while we were away for 2 weeks in Europe. They were even so kind to leave the house cleaner than we left it.”

About: Having grown up on a farm, I developed a natural connection with animals from an early age. Over the years, through my travels and house-sitting experiences, I’ve had the opportunity to care for many different dogs, each with their own personalities and unique needs. Today, I offer loving and attentive pet care, providing both dogs and cats with a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment where they feel at home. I believe every animal deserves patience, companionship, affection, and genuine care. I work part-time from home and have a flexible schedule, which lets me give plenty of time and attention to pets I care for. I already walk twice a day in nature, so including dogs in my routine feels natural. I love being outdoors, staying active, and making sure dogs get the exercice. companionship, and affection they need. I can easily adapt my schedule to their needs and make sure they feel confortable, safe and loved while their humans are away. I believe every pet has their own personality, habits, and needs. My priority is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, while respecting their usual routines. Whether caring for your pets in my home or in their own environment, I provide attentive, gentle, and personalized care. I make sure they get regular walks, exercice, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection. I also pay close attention to their feeding schedules, special needs, and daily habits. Having cared for many dogs over the years, especially through house sitting experiences, I understand the importance of being present, patient, and attentive with each animal.

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 :)

About: I have had doggies my whole life and since my last darling passed, I have been a foster Mom and boarder to many! I adore doggies and have a huge yard and heart to match! I support many online charities that save and care for refuge doggies! I was also a caregiver for my senior Mom in her latter years, so patience and love come naturally to me. I am retired so home all day and love having doggies to share the house! I also share the house with a friend so we are both available for walkings etc. I have a huge yard that is partially fenced-in to allow doggies to run and "do their business" throughout the day outside of regular walk times.

About: Je m’occupe de mes deux bassets à la maison, j’ai eu un élevage pendant deux ans où la femelle basset originaire de la Bretagne m’a fait une très belle portée dont les chiots étaient tous en santé. J’ai gardé le dernier chiot son nom est Rocky il est très gentil. Avec mes deux bassets, nous nous promenons deux fois par jour petite balade du matin et balade de l’après-midi on sort souvent pour des sorties d’une heure, dont le parc à chien où nous aimons vraiment beaucoup socialiser, et se défouler, nous aimons les autres amis, car nous sommes faits pour vivre en meute. Si je me déplace, j’effectue toujours une surveillance d’hygiène, nettoyage des pipis s’il y a lieu et remise en état de la pièce donner la nourriture, puis s’assurer qu’ils ont toujours de l’eau, jouer et aller dehors et faire les soins routine, lavage des oreilles, lavage des dents, lavage du poil, brosser le poil et s’assurer qu ils sont en pleine santé. Cela fait partie de ma routine avec mes deux chiens.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lachute

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 256 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Lachute. About 83% 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 Lachute 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 Lachute 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 Lachute 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:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
