About: I have worked in shelters so I have plenty of experience working with senior and disabled dogs. I'm very patient and enthusiastic. Dogs and I instantly click. I'm free at the moment so I have all day Monday to Thursday. I'm flexible so just tell me what you need and I'll take care of it. My apartment is too small to take care of other dogs at home and currently I only accept dog walking services. How does that sound?

Marisa took exceptional care of my cat while I was away. Her detailed report cards kept me well-informed, and it was clear she truly loves what she does.

Really appreciated the time and effort Zain put in to getting to know our fur baby. He came over beforehand to meet him, and ensure they were a good fit. And while he was babysitting I felt absolutely at ease. Kimchi isn’t the most welcoming to males, but clearly felt comfortable and even on his first visit came over to greet him. Cannot recommend Zain enough!

Rebeca has been great with spending time with my cat Buffy! Despite my cat being a bit timid and reclusive, Rebeca was very patient and made a lot of efforts to engage with her and win her trust, and was enthusiastic with sharing her experience with me.

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.

About: 🌐Bilingue FR/EN | +30 ans d’expérience | ⛑️Premiers soins chiens & chats — Croix-Rouge. Fiable et engagée : lorsque j’accepte une garde, je prends cet engagement au sérieux. 🐾 Animaux de tous âges bienvenus! J’affectionne tout particulièrement les animaux seniors, sensibles ou à mobilité réduite, pour avoir accompagné mes propres compagnons jusque dans leur grand âge. 🦮 De la séance de gratouilles aux promenades et aux jeux actifs, j’adapte mon attention à la personnalité, au rythme et aux habitudes de chacun. Promenades sécuritaires, renforcement positif, beaucoup de « Bon chien! » et gâteries selon vos consignes. 🧹 Les petits oopsies? Ça arrive! Je nettoie, tout simplement. Je suis également à l’aise avec l’administration de médicaments oraux. Bien-être, sécurité et plaisir sont mes priorités. 🌎 J’ai beaucoup voyagé avec ma famille poilue et je connais d’expérience les enjeux de choisir, puis de faire confiance à la personne qui prendra soin de son compagnon, pour quelques heures comme pour un long séjour. 🔐 CONFIANCE : propre, ponctuelle et fiable, en plus je suis certifiée en premiers soins pour humains et je détiens une cote de sécurité de niveau Secret du gouvernement fédéral. Pour votre tranquillité d’esprit lors de longs séjours, je peux également arroser vos plantes et ramasser votre courrier pendant votre absence. 📸 BONUS : excellente photographe! Attendez-vous à recevoir de jolies nouvelles de votre compagnon. 🌿 Dans la vie, je suis artiste-chercheure (PhD) et écrivaine en mouvement et écologie. 🐾 Vous pouvez me confier votre famille poilue! Daytime visits Overnight stays Weekdays, weekends, and statutory holidays Short-term and long-term bookings For stays of 6 nights or longer, I'm happy to travel up to 250 km from Gatineau/Ottawa. Client’s home: I believe pets feel safest when their routines are respected. Before each stay in your home, I take the time to learn your dog's habits, favourite words, feeding schedule, medications, exercise routine, and any special needs. I'm comfortable administering oral medications (pills and oral syringes), checking for and safely removing ticks after walks, wiping muddy or snowy paws, towel-drying after rain or swimming, cleaning food and water bowls, and handling the occasional "oopsie" with patience and good humour. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, mobility, energy, or behaviour and will let you know promptly if anything seems unusual. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your trip knowing your companion is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: Je garde des animaux depuis plus de 3 ans. Ce qui me distingue, c’est mon amour sincère pour les animaux, ma patience et ma capacité à adapter mes soins aux besoins spécifiques de chacun. Je suis étudiante à l’université et je travaille à temps partiel au gouvernement fédéral, ce qui me permet d’avoir un horaire flexible. Je suis généralement à la maison environ trois jours par semaine (plus le weekend). J’ai l’habitude de faire deux marches par jour ainsi qu’une course à pied le midi, ce qui me permet d’offrir beaucoup d’exercice aux animaux. Mon conjoint et moi adorons le plein air, autant en été qu’en hiver, et nous aimons intégrer les animaux dans nos activités lorsque c’est possible. La sécurité et le bien-être des animaux sont ma priorité. Je m’assure d’offrir un environnement calme, propre et adapté afin qu’ils se sentent à l’aise et en confiance. Je prends le temps de bien comprendre les besoins de chaque animal (routine, alimentation, niveau d’énergie, comportements) pour m’y adapter et réduire son stress. Je veille à maintenir une routine stable, avec beaucoup d’attention, de stimulation et des marches quotidiennes. Je reste attentive à tout changement de comportement et je communique régulièrement avec les propriétaires afin de leur donner des nouvelles et leur offrir une tranquillité d’esprit :)

About: I have over five years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and maintaining each dog’s usual routine. I have also spent years volunteering on a farm caring for animals, which has taught me to be patient, responsible, and attentive. I treat every dog with the same love and care I give my own pets, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a student at Algonquin, I will be finishing mid-April, and work part-time. I’m mostly a homebody, making me available on weekends and weekdays for pet care, offering flexibility and reliable attention for your pets. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and can maintain their usual routine. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions provided by the owner. I always keep doors, gates, leashes, and the surrounding environment secure. I treat every client’s home respectfully and make sure their pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while in my care.

We had such a great experience with her taking care of our three cats! One of our cats needs daily medication, and she handled it perfectly, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. We received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious our cats were happy and well cared for. Everything was in perfect order when we got back. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again—highly recommend!

About: J’ai toujours eu des animaux de compagnie et j’ai eu la chance de m’occuper de différents types d’animaux tout au long de ma vie. Cette expérience m’a permis de bien comprendre leurs besoins, leurs comportements et l’attention qu’ils demandent. J’aime beaucoup passer du temps avec les animaux et m’assurer qu’ils sont heureux, en sécurité et bien soignés. Je peux les promener, les nourrir, jouer avec eux et leur donner toute l’attention et l’affection dont ils ont besoin pendant l’absence de leurs propriétaires. Je peux également administrer des soins de base si nécessaire, en suivant attentivement les instructions des propriétaires. Je suis une personne responsable, patiente et attentive, et je traite toujours chaque animal comme s’il était le mien. J’ai un emploi à temps partiel avec un horaire flexible, ce qui me permet de consacrer du temps pour m’occuper des animaux directement à la maison de leurs propriétaires. Vous pouvez avoir pleinement confiance en mon honnêteté et mon sens des responsabilités pour prendre soin des animaux qui me sont confiés. Je m’engage toujours à offrir un environnement sécuritaire, attentionné et respectueux pour assurer leur bien-être pendant votre absence. Je prends très au sérieux la responsabilité de m’occuper des animaux qui me sont confiés à la maison de leurs propriétaires. Je veille toujours à respecter leurs habitudes, leurs besoins et les consignes laissées par les propriétaires afin qu’ils se sentent en sécurité et à l’aise dans leur environnement. Mon objectif est de leur offrir attention, patience et affection pendant votre absence, tout en m’assurant que votre maison et vos animaux soient traités avec le plus grand respect et soin.

Sydney is so lovely and my cat loved her! She truly is an animal Whisperer because my rescue is normally very afraid of strangers but felt safe and comfortable with her 🥹 (Which never happened before) She sent a lot of pictures and a detailed summary after every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. I was afraid leaving my anxious angel behind but because of Sydney I was truly able to enjoy my vacation! 💛 Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals really shines through!! I couldn’t recommend her more! 😊

Grace was super keen, kind, and friendly. The dogs had only met her once before she did a solo drop in to feed and walk the dogs while we were out of town for the day. We have a 14 yr old little guy that can’t walk far but she happily carried him in the carrier while walking our younger Wheaton. We are very happy w grace and will definitely be booking with her again! Thanks for treating our dogs as your own, Grace ❤️

Samantha did a really outstanding job taking excellent, daily care of my cat while I was away for almost three weeks. She is a fantastic cat-sitter and I couldn't recommend her enough to anyone who wants their cat to be cared for, played with and taken care of. I really appreciated that Samantha arranged for an initial 'meet and greet' with me and my cat before I departed and it really helped to put me at ease for the entire trip. She was very easy and professional to work with and very flexible arranging dates and times for the visits. Samantha really loves and cares about cats and judging by the many photos Samantha provided in her daily reports, my (usually curmudgeonly) cat really seemed to take a shine to Samantha, undoubtably due to the time and attention she provided my cat with every visit. She was always consistent and thorough with the report cards, and always communicated promptly with any additional questions or issues she encountered during my absence. I really felt that my cat was being cared for by a very safe pair of hands! I'm so relieved and glad that I found Samantha as a cat-sitter and she will absolutely be my go-to person for cat-sitting in the future!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - le Plateau

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in le Plateau on Rover is $27.26 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 1,434 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in le Plateau. About 85% of le Plateau sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a le Plateau stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:

  • Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
  • House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
  • Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.

Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.

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!

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.

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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 85% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
