“Rebeca was fantastic—kind, reliable, and great with Meeko. She sent regular updates and photos, took him on lots of walks, and kept everything in perfect shape at home. I had total peace of mind and would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Kassandra did a good job with my two Huskies and looking after my house. She had to administer meds, brush the “sheddy ones” and check the yard for things the crows drop in. I liked that she would drive over on her lunch break to give them a quick walk/bathroom break❣️”
About: Hello, my name is Sarah! I am 26 years old and residing in Ottawa, ON. I am an animal lover all-around, but have a special soft spot for dogs! I do not currently have any pets but have grown up and spent my whole life around dogs & cats. I understand the feeling of an animal being more than a pet, but rather a member of the family. I have previously owned large dogs, therefore I consider myself to be fully capable and comfortable caretaking for your larger/ stronger pets too. I have experience with retrievers, huskies, Irish wolfhounds, golden doodles, black toy poodles, German shepherds, Swiss mountain dogs, and lots more! Summer availability: I am currently available any day of the week, at any time of the day. From Sept 2026 availability will change as I am currently a student at Algonquin College. I am very involved in the care I provide & love to give pets the attention they require. I am trustworthy & capable of following client’s regular care routine for their pets. I am more than capable of exercising & walking pets as well.
“Amelia and blaze made a special bond that I know he misses her. She was as so respectful, attentive and responsible for not just our baby boy but our home. She is going to be out forever now, and apart of our family. She is so sweet, loving and kind. Highly recommend her…although I’ll take her again before you haha. Nothing but great things to say about her. She took excellent care of our big Belgian Malinois who took a very loving take to her very quickly. She took him to snd from his doggy daycare appointments while we were gone for 3 weeks. Amelia, you are amazing hun! Can’t wait to see you again!! Blaze misses you!! Xo”
“I was anxious about leaving our dog, Louie, with someone new, as he’s only ever been babysat by my parents. From the moment Melanie arrived, I could tell Louie felt comfortable with her. She provided regular updates and pictures, which truly put my mind at ease. It was clear Louie was happy and well cared for the entire time. On top of that, Melanie went above and beyond by leaving our house spotless — it was such a nice surprise to come home to. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and Louie is already excited for her next visit. I would highly recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have been a volunteer dog foster in Ottawa for more than 8 years now! No matter the injury, background, or breed, I have learnt to deal with them all. Pet care fills easily in my life as I have been doing it for awhile now! I do work a part-time job and will need to leave for around 5 hours in the day but just me about dates and times and I will adjust my schedule ! I treat everyone with respect! I don’t overcrowd or intrude but make you and your pet feel comfortable in my presence. Frequent contact and communication is a valuable skill of mine
“Autumn was excellent. My cat who is usually very shy at first approached her as soon as she got there for the meet and greet and I came home to a happy kittie. My place was left in great condition and she was great to communicate with. I would definitely recommend her for your fur babies.”
“Once more, Noah provided excellent care to Mika for the weekend. Even the neighbors noticed how attentive he was on walks with her both during the previous sitting and the most recent one.”
About: I’ve had two dogs my entire childhood and took in a senior rescue dog named Maggie, so I have experience with dogs from puppies to seniors. I have trained two dogs and love taking care of my friends and families’ dogs. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine because I have completed school for summer and am umemployed. This allows me to dedicate a of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and potty breaks, and I can adapt to each pet's specific needs. I am super flexible and I enjoy spending time with animals since I am around one already 24/7(my dog Jessie). I am very attentive and trustworthy and I love to take dogs on walks often. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow each pet owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise routines, and any special requirements.
“Christine was amazing! She was very attentive and kind to our little Odin. She took great care of the house and had to contend with 50cm of snow during her stay! We will defiantly be booking her again in the near future.”
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.
“Shannon is a lovely person, and she did an excellent job of communicating while with my two dogs, which made me feel reassured. The dogs loved her, and we've already booked her for another stay.”
“My experience with Kate was awesome. She’s very friendly and knows a lot. She follows instructions and Baker had a blast spending a few days with her. She’s also very flexible and met up wi the me and Baker before the booking to make sure we were all comfortable with the arrangements.”
“Amber is an excellent dog sitter. She babysat our 2 dogs and provided many updates and photos. Gave our pups lots of love and Took them for walks daily. Absolutely wonderful personality and the dogs loved her!”
About: I have 1 year of catsitting both in clients' and my own home. I've always wanted a cat of my own and get along great with both dogs and cats. Walking is one of my passions as well. I am kind, personable and patient! I'm currently studying part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I'm free sometimes on those days. On Wednesday, Fridays and weekends I'm free all day! I can come to you for dog and cat care, and am comfortable walking dogs as often and for as long as they need. For cats, I'm a certified litter scooper and toy handler. I will engage your pets as much they need and am prepared to give lots of love and cuddles, and to responsibly care for your furry friends.

Julie est ce dont vous avez besoin. Marco n’est pas facile, jeune ados entre l’affection et l’énergie. Julie demeure la meilleur, donne de son temps et je n’ai aucune inquiétude quand elle est là. Elle garde toujours de chez moi, et encore une fois, j’ai 100% confiance en elle.
Hannah was absolutely outstanding, I’d recommend her to anyone looking to have their pets taken care of! Awesome communication the entire time, lots of confidence in her ability to handle our energetic dogs (Rottweiler and Australian Sheppard). Thanks for everything Hannah!
Zain took great care of our Golden, Riley. Riley is quite energetic, but Zain had no problem caring for him. We were gone a week at Christmas. Zain always responded quickly to our messages. He sent a photo everyday - which we appreciated. The house was left exactly as we left it. We came home to a happy dog. We will definitely book Zain in the future! He is in high demand, so you will have to book early!

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 842 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
- 89% 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.
