About: A lifelong pet parent, I've been caring for dogs, cats, and birds for over 25 years. I have a large home with a fenced backyard, which backs onto a forest for the best walks. I have a dedicated area for pet care and am fully equipped with grooming equipment if needed. I'm equally comfortable with dogs and cats, and have cared for animals at all stages of their lives, from puppy/kitten days all the way to old age. My eldest pug lived to be 19! I work from home as a freelancer and I make my own schedule. This gives me plenty of time to spend with your pet. My daily routine involves an early start around 6am, breakfast for the pets and the kids before the morning school dropoff, and two daily walks around the neighborhood. Your pet is welcome to join me on the walks, or cuddle up in my lap at home. I'll love them like my own! I am pleased to adapt to your pet's needs. My home has a separate area dedicated to pet sitting for pets who are more shy or like their own space. My cat is quite friendly and has experience with other cats and dogs. My backyard is fenced and secure. Typically I have pets enter through the dedicated side entrance to acclimatize to the environment before introducing them to the main part of the house. This ensures that your little one feels safe and confident in their temporary home with my family.

About: Pet care experience: I have experience with many types of dogs, including nervous or reactive ones. I stay calm and patient, helping dogs feel safe and comfortable. I understand their signals and know how to manage stress or biting behavior with kindness and care. I work from home, so I’m around most of the day. After my work hours, I have time to take dogs for a nice walk and give them lots of love and attention. I work from home, so your pets will never be left alone. I live in a calm, pet-friendly apartment and always make sure every dog feels safe, relaxed, and loved.

“Camille est ma nouvelle gardienne Rover pour toujours. Mes chats qui n'ont pas l'habitude de venir voir nos invités on été tellement à l'aise avec Camille qu'ils l'attendait à la porte pour des câlins. Les photos était exceptionnel ainsi que la communication. On avait plus de craintes être en vacances 2 semaines sachant que nos bébés était en bonnes mains. Elle va aussi être la gardienne pour notre chien à nouveau car il va être en famille avec elle. Camille est une gardienne exceptionnelle qui prend soin de ton bébé comme le sien - elle à une vrai aptitude pour les animaux.”

About: J'ai des animaux depuis que je suis très jeunes et j'ai toujours participer à en prendre soin. J'ai présentement deux chats de 1 et 15 ans en bonne santé et que j'adore. J'aimerais vraiment avoir un chien et je m'ennuie d'en avoir un dans ma vie, mais je n'ai pas l'espace pour en adopter un en ce moment. J'adore aussi tous les animaux en général et j'aime en rencontrer de nouveaux. Ce sont des raisons qui me pousse à vouloir offrir mes services pour la garde des vôtres. Par le passé, j'ai déjà gardé un chat pendant 2 semaines qui venait d'avoir une énucléation (chirurgie pour enlever son œil) à la suite d'une infection, impliquant de lui donner des médicaments (liquides) 2 fois par jour et des gouttes pour son deuxième œil 5-6 fois par jour. J'ai aussi régulièrement gardé le chien chez ma mère pour des périodes d'environ une semaine, incluant en fin de vie alors qu'il nécessitait des médicaments (pilules) 2 fois par jour. Je suis donc généralement à l'aise de donner la médication selon vos indications. Je travaille à temps plein, mais mon horaire est assez flexible pour m'adapter à vos besoins. Je travaille en mode hybride et je dois me rendre au bureau 2 jours par semaine, mais je suis autrement en télétravail et je peux être présente et m'occuper de vos animaux sans problème pendant ce temps. Sinon je n'ai habituellement pas de restrictions le soir ou la fin de semaine. Pour la garde à domicile, je vais nourrir vos animaux, changer leur eau à tous les jours, donner la médication au besoin (selon vos indications), faire la litière des chats/sortir les chiens. Pour ces derniers, je peux offrir 1-2 marches par jours selon les habitudes de l'animal. Je pourrais aussi évidemment jouer avec eux et leur donner de l'amour. Je suis aussi ouverte à faire certains entraînements selon vos indications au besoin (à discuter).

“We loved having Manon looking out for Luna the week we were away. We knew that Luna was fearful and very suspicious, but for 2/3 days, Luna felt very comfortable, coming out of her hiding place. Manon would send pictures and updates to let us know how she was progressing. I recommend it and for sure, on our next trip, we will look ask Manon to take care of her again.”

About: My passion has now become my job. Working with animals in a vet clinic has been the best experience of my life. I deeply care for each animal I meet. I have cared for animals at clients houses and at my house. Your animals will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. I have delt with healthy animals and sick animals. I am ready to learn new things as I care for your animal and their special needs. I work a full time job. I would be available mornings, nights and weekends. My schedule can vary, so it all depends of that and the request you have. Having two cats of my own, I have always dreamn't of having a dog. I try to have contact with every animal I can, as they are my therapy. No animal is too big nor too small. When I was younger, I would always ask to go pet dogs that I crossed in the streets. This love for animals was passed down from my granparents who had many animals. They taught me how to be gentil, patient, caring, understanding and loving towards any person/animal.

About: Je me distingue par mon approche calme, attentive et fiable. J'aime prendre le temps d'observer chaque chien afin de comprendre son tempérament, son niveau d'énergie et ses habitudes pour lui offrir des soins adaptés. Je respecte toujours les consignes des propriétaires, qu'il s'agisse des horaires, des routines, de l'alimentation ou des préférences de leur compagnon. Je crois qu'une bonne communication est essentielle, c'est pourquoi j'envoie régulièrement des nouvelles et des photos pour que les propriétaires aient l'esprit tranquille. Ayant un mode de vie actif, je suis à l'aise avec les promenades, les jeux et les activités qui permettent aux chiens de dépenser leur énergie tout en restant en sécurité. Je continue également à développer mes connaissances sur le comportement canin afin d'offrir une expérience positive autant pour les chiens que pour leurs propriétaires. Je travaille de la maison, ce qui me permet d'offrir une présence régulière et de la compagnie aux chiens tout au long de la journée. Cette flexibilité est un grand avantage pour les animaux qui apprécient une présence humaine et des sorties adaptées à leur rythme. Je suis également disponible les soirs, les fins de semaine et certains jours fériés. Afin d'offrir un service de qualité, je limite volontairement le nombre de réservations que j'accepte. La sécurité et le bien-être de votre compagnon sont toujours ma priorité. Je prends le temps de me familiariser avec ses habitudes, son niveau d'énergie et vos consignes avant chaque service. Lors des promenades, je demeure attentif à l'environnement, j'évite les situations à risque et je respecte le rythme de votre chien. Si je me rends à votre domicile, je veille à respecter votre espace tout en maintenant la routine de votre animal afin qu'il se sente en confiance. Je communique régulièrement avec les propriétaires en envoyant des nouvelles et des photos pour qu'ils puissent partir l'esprit tranquille.

About: What sets me apart is the calm, attentive environment I provide. I grew up in a home that regularly rescued and fostered dogs, so caring for different personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs has always been part of my life. We always had at least two dogs in the house at a time, and I’ve continued that into adulthood with my own rescues - Rose, who I’ve had since she was 1 (now 14), and Baby, who has been with me for 6 years. I’m often told I have a calm, easy energy that dogs naturally trust. I’m especially patient and understanding with anxious dogs and behavioral sensitivities, while still creating a relaxed and stable environment. I work from home, so dogs are never left unsupervised and always have consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. My home is cozy, calm, and dog-focused, with a large fenced backyard for fetch, sunbathing, and safe outdoor time. I treat every dog like they’re my own and prioritize making them feel secure, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and already structure my days around caring for animals. My own dogs are a huge part of my everyday life, so walks, outdoor time, feeding schedules, play, cuddles, and supervision are already built into my routine. I’m home often throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, companionship, and care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, cozy environment where animals can relax, feel safe, and settle into a comfortable rhythm. Weekly, I prioritize keeping a clean and pet-friendly home and making sure animals get both mental stimulation and downtime depending on their personality and needs. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or more anxious and reserved, I’m attentive to helping them feel comfortable and cared for while they’re with me. Safety is always my top priority when caring for dogs in my home. I have two friendly rescue dogs who are calm, social, and well accustomed to sharing space with other animals. I always prioritize slow, respectful introductions and pay close attention to each dog’s comfort level, personality, and boundaries. I provide a calm, structured environment where dogs are supervised closely and never left unattended outdoors. My home is ground level and has a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, fetch, bathroom breaks, and relaxing in the sun, and all yard time is monitored. Inside the home, I use tools like baby gates when needed to create separate spaces for rest, decompression, feeding, or quieter introductions. Because I work from home, I’m present throughout the day to supervise interactions, maintain routines, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is always to create a cozy, low-stress environment where dogs can settle in comfortably and feel at home.

About: Bonjour! Moi, c’est Alexandre!! Éducateur canin depuis bientôt 3 ans, j’ai travaillé en pension éducative, ce qui m’a permis d’acquérir une solide expérience avec une grande variété de chiens : énergiques, têtus… et tout ce qu’il y a entre les deux! Aujourd’hui, je développe ma propre clientèle en éducation canine et, pour combler mes temps libres, j’offre mes services sur Rover pour vous donner un précieux coup de pouce lors des journées trop chargées ou quand vous êtes littéralement tiré(e) à quatre épingles. Mon objectif : que votre chien revienne détendu, satisfait et bien dépensé — mentalement et physiquement. Ma force : une approche bienveillante, professionnelle et basée sur la compréhension du comportement canin. Votre chien est entre bonnes mains : sécurité, respect, plaisir et constance sont au cœur de ma pratique. Au plaisir de rencontrer votre compagnon et de contribuer à son bien-être au quotidien! Je travaille à temps partiel comme éducateur canin, ce qui me permet d’avoir un horaire flexible et de m’adapter aux besoins des familles. J’offre principalement des balades à domicile, spécialement pensées pour les gens surchargés qui veulent s’assurer que leur chien dépense son énergie de façon saine et équilibrée pendant leur absence. Pour le moment, je n’offre pas d’hébergement chez moi — je me déplace directement La sécurité et le bien-être de votre chien sont ma priorité. En tant qu’éducateur canin, je porte une attention particulière : À l’ajustement sécuritaire du harnais ou collier À l’environnement (météo, distractions, niveau de stimulation) Au respect du rythme et des limites du chien Je n’expose jamais un chien à une situation qu’il n’est pas prêt à gérer. Chaque sortie est adaptée à son tempérament et à son niveau d’énergie. 🏡 Respect de votre domicile Je comprends qu’ouvrir la porte de votre maison demande une grande confiance. Je m’engage à : Respecter votre espace comme si c’était le mien Verrouiller correctement après chaque visite Maintenir une communication claire et transparente Vous envoyer des nouvelles après chaque passage 🌿 Un environnement structuré et bienveillant Je favorise : Des sorties calmes et encadrées Une gestion de l’excitation plutôt que de la surstimulation Des interactions respectueuses et positives Mon objectif est que vous partiez travailler l’esprit tranquille, en sachant que votre chien est entre de bonnes mains. chaque sortie peut inclure : Des moments de reniflage libre Des périodes de jeu adaptées au tempérament du chien De petits exercices d’obéissance ou d’auto-contrôle au besoin Un retour au calme avant la fin de la visite Mon objectif est que votre chien revienne à la maison dépensé, stimulé et plus posé, pas simplement fatigué physiquement. Je travaille avec respect, structure et bienveillance. Que votre chien soit énergique, sensible ou encore

About: Hi! I’m Yam — an animal lover with a lifelong passion for pets. I’ve been a proud dog owner for as long as I can remember, and I currently share my life with a sweet 14-year-old Siberian Husky. Over the years, I’ve looked after the pets of friends and family, which inspired me to start pet sitting and dog walking professionally. I absolutely love spending time with animals—it’s what brings me joy! I currently offer: • 30-minute walks. • 30-minute personalized visits. I’m flexible and happy to work with your scheduling needs—especially if you have a pet with specific routines or time-sensitive care. Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority. I follow your routines closely to make the environment as familiar and stress-free as possible. I pay close attention to habits, triggers (like loud noises or other animals), and any health concerns. If I notice something unusual, I’ll let you know right away. And if you’d like updates while you’re away, I’m always happy to send photos or messages.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Lorraine

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lorraine is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $32 per visit. 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.

There are 1,840 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Lorraine. About 84% of Lorraine 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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Lorraine 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 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.

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.

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.

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

  • 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
