“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!”
“Juliette a été une très bonne gardienne pour Molly. Molly semblait très heureuse à mon retour et en pleine forme. Juliette a également laissé ma maison très propre, ce que j’ai beaucoup apprécié. Elle répondait rapidement chaque fois que je lui écrivais et les nouvelles qu’elle me donnait étaient toujours rassurantes. Elle a aussi eu la gentillesse de rentrer mes colis pendant mon absence, dont un meuble assez lourd, ce que j’ai beaucoup apprécié. Merci beaucoup Juliette d’avoir pris soin de ma petite Molly ! 😊”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was surrounded by animals, which sparked my passion and provided me with invaluable hands-on experience. My family cared for dogs (2), cats (2), rabbits (1), hamsters (3), birds (10+), and fish (10+). I even practiced horseback riding as a child, gaining experience in stable maintenance and saddling horses. Over the years, I’ve worked in various animal focused settings, including shelters, pet shops, and dog boarding centers, accumulating over 8 years of professional experience. In 2021, I founded Passion for Paws, a nonprofit organization dedicated to rehoming dogs through a foster-based system. As the Founder and CEO, I work to provide exceptional care to every dog that comes into our organization, treating them as if they were my own. Families trust me to care for their beloved pets when they can no longer do so, and I help find those pets loving forever homes. I also hold a certification in dog obedience and behavior and have intermediate knowledge of animal healthcare, particularly with dogs and cats. I have hands on experience administering medications, addressing behavioral needs, and providing specialized care for a wide range of animals. Caring for animals is my life’s passion, and I am confident I can provide your furry family member with the love and care they deserve! As the CEO of my own organization, I have the flexibility to create my own schedule and work primarily from home (about 85% of the time). This allows me to easily adapt my routine to accommodate your pet's needs. In addition to this flexibility, I am a highly structured, dedicated, and active individual, ensuring that your pet will receive the attention, care, and lifestyle they deserve. The care I provide for your pet will be tailored to their unique profile and specific needs. I will ensure they receive the appropriate amount of physical and mental stimulation based on their activity levels. My goal is to keep your pet fulfilled, relaxed, and genuinely happy while you are gone.
“Amira was absolutely fantastic. Our moody chihuahua took to her right away and she did great giving our senior boxer all the meds he needed with a last minute injury. She kept him happy even when his activity was low. Pups loved her and can’t recommend her enough. Lovers of pictures and updates throughout our trip.”
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.
“April is a gem!!! She took excellent care of my dog and cats, sent me pictures and videos so I knew everyone was ok since it wasn't first time using a sitter. She communicates asks questions and it was a real pleasure having her as a sitter for the long weekend ❤️ I highly recommend her!!! Thank you so much April ☺️”
About: Bonjour, je m'appelle Chloé et j'ai 34 ans, je vis dans le quartier de Villeray avec mon petit chien Pepe, mon chum Tyler, et sa chienne Kazoo. Nos deux chiens s'entendent généralement bien avec chiens, chats, rats et lapins! :) Pour ce qui est de mon expérience, j'ai gardé de nombreux chiens chez moi, fait du housesitting à plusieurs reprises, et promené plein de chiens. J'ai plusieurs clients récurrents dans le quartier. Je suis extrêmement patiente et douce avec les chiens, et je me suis découvert un talent de dresseuse avec mon Pepe. N'hésitez pas à me contacter pour toutes questions. I also speak english. Je suis étudiante à l'université et je suis travailleure autonome à temps partiel, donc j'ai beaucoup de disponibilités et de flexibilité pour sortir les chiens. Il me fera plaisir d'accueillir votre chien chez moi, je m'adapte aux besoins de chaque animal. J'aime en savoir le plus possible sur les habitudes de votre chien pour pouvoir bien le comprendre et qu'il soit confortable.
“Such a pleasant and easy experience with Savannah. Very impressed with her professionalism, positive quiet energy, excellent care for my dog not to mention she left the house spotless. Will hire again. Highly recommend”
“Melissa a été très douce et à l'écoute des besoins de mon petit chien particulier! Elle a aussi très bien respecté l'heure de rencontre, même 10 minutes en avance. Elle est prête, habituée et pose de très bonne question pour bien connaître le chien ainsi que ces habitudes. Elle a aussi demandé en cas d'urgence qui contacté et quel vétérinaire/ugrence prioriser. Très sécurisant. Elle coprend bien l'importance de la routine du chien et n'essaie pas de la changer, ce qui est très bien lorsque tu es un maître d'un chien anxieux. Elle s'est bien présentée aussi, ce qui a donné une rencontre douce et calme entre mon chien et elle. Je recommanderai n'important quand! Merciiiii Melissa!!”
“Paige was amazing for housesitting our dogs. She arrived on time, was asking all the right questions and sent us frequent updates throughout. We would love to have Paige dogsit again!”
About: [Ma langue maternelle est le français, une version française se trouve plus bas!] My parents call me Snow White unironically. If there is an animal nearby… that is where you will find me! I have always loved animals, especially dogs and cats. In my hometown, I was my neighbor’s first choice for pet sitting their fur babies when they were away (still am with my new neighbors, hehe). I raised an American Akita and he lived 14 long, happy years. I know my way around reactive dogs and I am very serious and careful about special instructions owners give me. From the puppy stage to the senior stage, I love and care for them and adapt to their needs. I am a very active person, I run and walk ~a lot. I’m getting a little bored of doing it alone, so it would be my absolute pleasure to take your best friend with me to go play outside. 🥰 FOR THE CAT OWNERS: your fur babies would be treated like the royalty they are. I’ve had cats my whole life (I have 2 right now) and they are my flesh and blood!!!! Don’t hesitate to contact me for more info!!! ————- Mes parents m’appellent Blanche-Neige non ironiquement ! S’il y a un animal dans les environs… c’est là que vous me trouverez ! J’ai toujours adoré les animaux, particulièrement les chiens et les chats. Dans ma ville natale, j’étais la personne de confiance de mes voisins pour garder leurs petites boules de poils lorsqu’ils s’absentaient (et je le suis encore avec mes nouveaux voisins, hehe !). J’ai élevé un Akita américain qui a vécu 14 longues et heureuses années. Je connais bien les chiens réactifs et je prends très au sérieux les consignes particulières que les propriétaires me donnent. Du stade de chiot jusqu’à leurs belles années de vieillesse, j’adore prendre soin d’eux et m’adapter à leurs besoins. Je suis une personne très active : je cours et je marche énormément ! Je commence à trouver ça un peu moins amusant de toujours le faire seule, alors ce serait un immense plaisir pour moi d’emmener votre meilleur ami jouer dehors avec moi. POUR LES PROPRIÉTAIRES DE CHATS : Vos boules de poils seront traitées comme les petites royautés qu’elles sont ! J’ai toujours eu des chats dans ma vie (j’en ai deux en ce moment) et ils font partie de ma famille au même titre que n’importe qui !!!!! N’hésitez surtout pas à me contacter pour plus d’informations !!! I’m working full time with a flexible schedule and a lot of free time. I already integrated physical activity in my daily life (been running for two years now) so it would be easy for me to incorporate pet care and dogwalking in my routine. :) I will follow all instructions about care in your home. Because of my two cats, I can’t welcome your pet into my home. But I will happily look after your cat(s), dog(s) and do any pet care activities like clearing out the litter box, feeding, walking, and I might add that I have a special talent for cutting cats nails 💅🏻
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats which has made me learn how to walk them, take care of them, groom them and made them feel loved and spoiled. I am happy to do all these things for my pets and yours as well! I’m currently working part time and also a student which means I have many breaks during my day which I’m looking to fill up with quality time/walk with dogs and cats! I currently only have one cat, I fill her food and water bowl twice a day and take her on a walk in the morning and also before going to bed.
About: I am experienced and comfortable with pets of all shapes and sizes. I've been been told I am the dog whisperer, and am the go to dog walker and pet sitter for my friends. I have also cared for numerous cats over the years. I take great care to introduce myself to new animals slowly and at their pace. Nothing makes me happier than making a new furry friend, so whatever that takes I am willing to do. I am experienced with dogs small, large, and everything in-between. I love dogs in all stages of life, but have an especially soft spot for senior dogs. I am very experienced with senior dog care, as my beloved Buffy spent the last 2 years of her life with reduced mobility and increased needs. I'm very happy to move at their pace, or even pull them around in Buffy's wagon. I also have experience working with reactive dogs and managing their needs to ensure they have the best experiences possible. Every dog deserves to be met where they are and have access to enriching and fun activities. My schedule is very flexible. I am located on the Plateau and have a vehicle so I am happy to travel and get to wherever you are. My current apartment unfortunately does not allow pets, so I am unable to board, but I live near Parc Lafontaine, have a vehicle, and I am happy to travel to your pets.
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.
“Yiran was super reliable and kept us apprised everyday with updates and pics over a two-week trip. She left our home cleaner than when she arrived. And my dog was so sad to not have her around anymore. If you want someone responsible who will look after your fur baby as your own, look no further!”

“Sandra took on a big job- two adult cats and a litter of 6 foster kittens! She went above and beyond, even vacuuming after them which I didn’t expect. She was an excellent communicator and sent lots of pictures and videos. I didn’t have to worry about my pets at all! I will definitely book again with Sandra and so should you.”

Tristan s'est très bien occupé de nos trésors. Il a aussi pris soin de notre chatte malade nécessitant énormément de médication. Nous utiliserons ses services de nouveau dans le futur c'est certain. Merci Tristan. De Charles, Alexandra, Milo, Arya et Olive.
Sarah stayed at home for 1 week with Max & Lily! She always updated us and sent pictures! She communicated with us with any questions or concerns she had. We will definitely book again with her for any future trips! We definitely recommend her! She has a calming effect on the dogs, when she met prior to us leaving, the dogs instantly felt safe. Thank you Sarah for taking care of our doggies

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Laval is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $114 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 1,160 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Laval. 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 Laval 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 Laval 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 Laval 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.
