About: I have experience caring for pets, including dogs and cats, treating them with the same love and attention as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or providing companionship. I also frequently pet sit for friends, which has strengthened my ability to handle different breeds and temperaments with care. I like to jog in the park. I take care of friends' dogs when they are on vacation and truly enjoy it. Dogs shouldn't stay indoors during those time. They can have vacation time too :) I'm very respectful of people's home. It's a personal space and I too like when people coming into my house show the same respect. I have a gated yard and work from home half of the week so I can do mornings, noon and evening easily.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and they’ve always been part of my heart and home. Right now, I share my days with three amazing cats, but I’ve cared for both cats and dogs since I was 12. From tiny kittens and energetic puppies to gentle senior pets, each one has taught me something about patience, kindness, and unconditional love. I think what sets me apart is how deeply I connect with animals — I truly see them as family. I take the time to learn their personalities, what comforts them, and what makes them happy. Whether it’s a cuddle, a long walk, or just sitting quietly beside them, I’m happiest when animals feel safe and loved in my care. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my day. With three cats at home, my mornings and evenings usually start and end with feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I love making time for pets, whether that means going for walks, checking in during the day, or just giving them extra love and attention. Spending time with animals is one of my favorite parts of the day, and I always make sure they get the care, comfort, and company they deserve. My schedule is quite consistent in the sense that I work from home 2 days a week and have weekends off which allow me to care for your pets during holidays, special events and even on short notice. When I care for pets, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable, just like they would at home. I always take time to learn their routines, favorite toys, and little quirks so I can keep things familiar and stress-free. In my care, pets get plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and a calm space to relax. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual feeding, walking, and care schedule, keeping everything tidy and consistent. Whether it’s brushing, giving treats, or just sitting quietly together, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own furry family.

“Mya did an amazing job house- and dog-sitting for us for a week! She gave our dogs so much attention, kept us updated throughout, watered our plants, and handled our deliveries. The house was spotless when we returned, and the dogs were incredibly happy. Couldn't ask for a better sitter!"

Debbie was great with Odi and Lacey. We needed a last minute replacement for our dog sitter for the first two days of our vacation and Debbie was able to help us out. She is very responsive and gave us frequent updates on how they were doing. Definitely recommend Debbie for dogsitting/housesitting.

If I could give 6 stars, I would!! Kayleigh is truly the Mary Poppins of pet care. I booked her for house sitting last minute and she went above and beyond to make things easy for me, even bringing her own sheets so I wouldn't have to do laundry. Beyond making sure the pets were taken care of, she made sure they had fun! She played with my cats, giving them time to build trust with her, and she took my dog on adventures like splashing in the river and trying out new trails. My dog even ate on day one, and he usually doesn't feel safe enough to eat around new people. I would absolutely recommend Kaleigh without hesitation!

Melanie exceeded all of our expectations! Our dog loved her and she was absolutely great to deal with. We're nervous owners of a senior dog, and really appreciated all the updates and photos she sent. Our dog isn't used to being left alone often, so we really appreciated that Melanie was able to spend all day with him. She's very responsive, and followed all the instructions we left to a T. It's obvious Melanie is a true dog lover, and we wouldn't hesitate to leave our dog with her again!

We received regular updates and photos and we knew our cat was in good hands! Our apartment was left super clean and tidy. It was a huge peace of mind to know that Silvia was being looked after by someone so trustworthy and caring. Thank you, Sarah!

Kassandra was absolutely amazing! She stayed at my house with my dog Kodak for almost 2 weeks. She sent updates and regularly, and I never once worried about Kodak not being in great hands. My home was spotless upon my return, and she expressed how much fun she had with Kodak during her time with him. I’m so grateful for the experience I had with her, and I couldn’t recommend her more to watch anyone’s fur baby!

She is an absolute professional, cares a lot about animals, followed the instructions i left her thoroughly and asked lots of questions to make sure he was getting the right care and maintaining his routine. She is also very kind, generous, and communicative. I will happily work with her again!

Megan is wonderful! I would highly recommend her to anyone. She took care of Nala, our beloved border collie, while we were away for three days. She stayed at our home, and when we returned, not only was Nala a happy pup, but our house was also clean and organized 🫶🏼. Since it was our first time booking with her, Megan kindly arranged a meet-and-greet weeks before our reservation. She was punctual, professional, and attentive to Nala’s specific needs, which immediately gave us peace of mind. She radiates trustworthiness. Throughout our trip, Megan kept us updated with regular communication, which was very reassuring. She did a wonderful job maintaining Nala’s usual routine, spent quality time with her, and put real effort into understanding her needs and preferences. We will definitely be booking with Megan again whenever we need to leave town. Thank you, Megan!

Lorraine is amazing! This is the second time she has stayed at our house with our dogs. We have 3 dogs (including a 6 month old puppy) and when we returned home from vacation, our dogs were happy, content and exhausted from all the walks Lorraine took them on. It gives us such peace of mind to know they’re in great hands with Lorraine.

FAQs for House Sitting - le Plateau

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in le Plateau on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 834 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across le Plateau. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in le Plateau 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.

Tip: 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 le Plateau 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 le Plateau 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, identity 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.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
