About: I’ve been taking care of pets for longer than I can remember! Working at the Canine Club brought me great experience with caring for over 30 dogs at once, which included feed time, play time, and care. I worked overnights to insure the safety for each and every dog. Caring for animals brings me a new perspective on life, it feels me with so much joy and love! At the moment I work nights on the weekends and I’m not in school currently so I’m free for any of your pet friendly needs! I insure your animals get the loving and care they need while you’re away. I make sure they get to the walks they deserve and every ounce of my attention.
About: (French and Russian will follow) I offer playful, relaxed dog walking for your much-loved pets. I also provide drop-in visits and house-sitting services for dogs, cats, and all other animals! 🐾🐶🐈🐰🦔🐁🪶🫧 Growing up, my family had several different breeds of dogs, cats and even a parrot. So, I understand that every pet has a unique personality. They may be shy, independent, playful, or cuddly, and so I approach each one with patience and genuine care. I’m very observant of their moods, which gives me the ability to prioritize their comfort and needs. I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine, meeting feeding and grooming needs. My goal is for your furry family members to feel relaxed and safe while they are waiting for your return. ❤️ —— Je propose des promenades ludiques et détendues pour vos chers compagnons à quatre pattes. Je propose également des visites à domicile et des services de garde pour chiens, chats et tous les autres animaux ! 🐾🐶🐈🐰🦔🐁🪶🫧 Ayant grandi entourée de plusieurs races de chiens, de chats et même d'un perroquet, je sais que chaque animal a sa propre personnalité. Qu'ils soient timides, indépendants, joueurs ou câlins, je les aborde avec patience et bienveillance. Attentive à leurs humeurs, je peux veiller à leur confort et à leurs besoins. Je comprends l'importance d'une routine régulière et de l'entretien de leur alimentation et de leur toilettage. Mon objectif est que vos compagnons à quatre pattes se sentent détendus et en sécurité en attendant votre retour. ❤️ —— Я предлагаю игривые и спокойные прогулки с вашими любимыми питомцами. Также предоставляю услуги по присмотру за собаками, кошками и другими животными на дому! 🐾🐶🐈🐰🦔🐁🪶🫧 В детстве у моей семьи было несколько разных пород собак, кошек и даже попугай. Поэтому я понимаю, что у каждого питомца уникальный характер. Они могут быть застенчивыми, независимыми, игривыми или ласковыми, поэтому я отношусь к каждому с терпением и искренней заботой. Я очень внимательно наблюдаю за их настроением, что позволяет мне уделять первостепенное внимание их комфорту и потребностям. Я понимаю важность поддержания постоянного режима, удовлетворения потребностей в кормлении и уходе. Моя цель — чтобы ваши пушистые члены семьи чувствовали себя расслабленно и безопасно, пока ждут вашего возвращения. ❤️ On weekdays, my whole pet care routine is built around my day shift, which doesn't stop me from dropping by to take care of your furry babies early in the morning, before or after work. I'm more flexible on the weekends and will structure my schedule around your pets' routine. I will ensure that your pets feel relaxed, well-fed, and happy while I care for them. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and medication routines. Additionally, I will provide you with regular photo updates of your pets.
“Marilyn was really responsible gentleman and communicated perfectly. If you are looking for a sitter but it's hard for you to find someone you can trust she is the perfect person for it. From now on she would be my go to sitter!”

About: Boutique home boarding for only 1–2 dogs at a time, so your pup receives the personalized care, attention, and love they deserve. I also offer a unique Wedding Dog Attendant service for couples who want their four-legged family member to be part of their special day. Hi! I'm Andrea—a lifelong animal lover originally from a small town in Costa Rica, where I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs, goats, rabbits, and parrots. Caring for animals has always been a part of who I am, and after more than 30 years of experience with pets of all kinds, I truly understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make your dog feel like they're on their own vacation while you're away. I follow their regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Because I only care for 1–2 dogs at a time, your pup will receive lots of individual attention in a calm, loving home—not a crowded boarding facility. Communication is important to me, so you'll receive regular photo and video updates throughout your dog's stay, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Whether your dog is staying with me for a weekend getaway, a longer vacation, or needs a trusted companion to accompany them on your wedding day, I'll treat them like one of my own. I can't wait to welcome your furry family member into my home! 🐾 My schedule during the week is tailor according to you and your pup. Please reach out and I will make sure to help you as much as possible. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I exclusively offer boarding in my home, where your pup will enjoy a calm, loving, and secure environment with plenty of personalized attention. I keep my home clean, smoke-free, and pet-friendly, and I only board 1–2 dogs at a time so each guest receives the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and lots of cuddles to help them feel comfortable and at home. I know how important it is to stay connected while you're away, so I'll send regular photo and video updates, along with messages about how your pup is doing, giving you complete peace of mind throughout their stay. ✨ Wedding Dog Attendant Service: I also offer a special service for couples who want their dog to be part of their wedding day. I can safely transport, supervise, and care for your dog throughout the event so they can be included in your special moments while you enjoy the celebration stress-free. This premium service is available at a separate rate. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing a safe, loving, and stress-free experience from the moment they arrive until it's time to go home.
About: J'adore énormément les animaux (petits, gros, à poils, à plumes et à écailles) et j'en possède depuis plus de 17 ans. J'ai deux chats présentement à la maison, j'ai habité pendant 2 ans avec un gros chien (Zoé labrador-husky), j'ai déja eu un petit chien (Miko pomeranien) pendant 6 mois en famille d'acceuil et ma famille possède 3 chiens (Lucille labrador, Gustave berger australien et Milo doodle). J'aime beaucoup être à l'extérieur et prendre des marches même en hiver alors pourquoi ne pas combiner ces deux intérêts pour rendre service et faire le bonheur de tous. J'aime être en leur compagnie et en prendre grand soin. Je suis une personne respectueuse et soucieuse de suivre les recommandations spécifiques à chaque animal. Je suis celle qu'on appelle lorsque mon entourage à besoin de faire garder leurs chats, leurs chiens ou même leur hamster! Merci de me faire confiance! J'ai un horaire de travail flexible et je travail sur la route ce qui me permet de me libérer en matinée, au dîner, en fin de journée ou en soirée. Je suis aussi disponible la plupart des fins de semaine! Je suis très à l'aise de venir visiter vos animaux à votre domicile car c'est ce que je fais au travail (interventions à domicile avec des enfants).
“Laura stepped in last minute and really saved my bacon. She was exceedingly kind and communicative throughout the process leading up to the visit and during the visit itself. I couldn't have asked for more :)”
“I could not have asked for a better cat sitter for Tiggy Stardust and Disco Pickles while I traveled over the holiday. From the moment I met Claude, it was clear how thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely loving she was. Claude took the time to learn each cat’s personality (and quirks!), sent regular updates and photos, and a phone call when unsure- and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Tiggy and Disco were happy, and clearly well cared for — routines followed with care, and both cats getting plenty of affection. It’s rare to find someone you trust so fully with your pets, and I absolutely did here. Highly recommend — I will 100% book again. 🐾✨”
“Ivàn is a great communicator and made sure to keep me up to date on any pertinent info regarding my cat. He also made sure to keep the litter box clean and change the water as well as leave some treats. Thank you so much for your help!”
About: I have experience with a wide variety of animals, I am currently raising a kitten and grew up all my life with dogs! I have experience pet sitting and walking dogs, and you can be reassured that your animals will be my #1 priority when I am taking care of them. My work (art) is freelance, so I am able to make my own hours and fit them to my schedule. This means I can commit to a reoccurring schedule as needed. I am extremely responsible and discreet, so you can relax knowing that your pet will be safely and attentively cared for. I will always keep you in the loop with everything that happens, and double check all procedures or instructions given to me.
“I needed someone at the last minute, and was not home to give the keys or instructions. Fiorella seamlessly received and followed instructions remotely to get access to the keys and take care of my old lady cat. I strongly recommend her!”
“Anna was perfectly punctual, attentive and considerate with her care of my cat, Ashes. She always kept me up to date, provided pictures and was quick to reach out with any questions or concerns. Your pets and your home will be safe in her hands, plain and simple.”
About: I only accept one family per appointment, and up to 4 cats being hosted at my house. I will keep them separated from my cats, so there is no stress between them. I have cared for severely ill cats so I can administer oral medication with no problem, clip their nails, play with them, and, of course, clean their litter boxes. I have had multiple cats since 2020, I'm very confident in taking care of them, reading their body language and understanding their boundaries. Currently I have 2 cats that are neutered, and super friendly (socialized with lots of humans and other cats). I can take care of cats in the evening and early morning, up to 2 vists per day. If you have cats and dogs it is okay too, I can walk your dogs on the visit and do all the other necessary things. When hosting cats at my house I will keep them separated from my own, and I work from home 95% of the time, so I can give them medication in the right frequency (if need be). For cats, I can have them at my place, or do drop-in visits. I'm very comfortable with giving medication, clipping their nails, brushing, and understanding their basic needs by their behaviour. If the cats are to be at my home, they will be in different room than my cats, so there is no territorial stress. I only take one family per appointment, so you do not need to worry about your cats being in my home with some other people's cats, all to minimize the stress level. For dogs I can do drop-in visits and walk them, sending photos and videos to the owners everytime. I only accept one family per appointment, so if I'm dog walking, it will be just from one household at a time.

I’d love to meet you and your cat and make sure they feel safe and loved in your absence. Looking forward to connecting! 🐱 Pet care fits very well into my routine, as I’m available during weekday evenings and on Saturdays.

I send updates and photos after every visit so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is to make each visit calm, respectful, and comforting for your cat
About: Plusieurs années d’expérience en promenade de chiens auprès de la SPCA m’ont permis de développer une grande aisance avec des chiens aux tempéraments variés. Cette expérience a renforcé mon approche douce, attentive et respectueuse du rythme de chaque animal. Fiable et à l’écoute, je porte une attention particulière au langage canin afin d’offrir des sorties sécuritaires, stimulantes et adaptées aux besoins de chaque compagnon. Que ce soit pour une promenade énergique ou plus tranquille, j’assure une présence constante, bienveillante et rassurante. Je suis présentement en réorientation de carrière et j'intègrerai le programme d'acupuncture à compter d'août 2026. Mes horaires sont donc flexibles et je suis grandement disponible. À mon domicile comme chez les propriétaires, j’accorde une grande importance à respecter la routine et les besoins spécifiques de chaque animal. Je prends le temps de créer un lien de confiance en m’adaptant à son rythme, son niveau d’énergie et son tempérament. Je veille à tous les aspects de son bien-être : repas, eau fraîche, propreté, jeux, stimulation et moments de calme. Pour les chiens, j’assure des promenades sécuritaires et adaptées. Pour les chats, je privilégie une approche douce et respectueuse, en laissant toujours l’animal venir à moi. Je porte aussi une attention particulière à leur langage et à leurs signaux afin d’assurer leur confort et leur sécurité en tout temps. Mon objectif est que chaque animal se sente en confiance, apaisé et bien entouré, même en l’absence de sa personne.
About: EN I am an animal lover to boot! In 2024, I had the privilege to start volunteering walking dogs for the elderly as a way to help seniors keep their companions. It was wonderful and by 2025, I began working as a dog walker. I am particularly fond of senior dogs. 75% of my experience has been with dogs over the age of ten. I will treat your old man/lady with the love and care I’d want for my own. Message me, let’s chat and see how I can help you! And don’t worry if I seem too far away, I’m happy to travel anywhere within the island Please note that if your pet requires specialized treatment (24/7 company, timed medications, etc), rates will be adjusted accordingly. Thank you! FR Je suis un amoureux des animaux en plus ! En 2024, j’ai eu le privilège de commencer à faire du bénévolat pour promener des chiens pour les personnes âgées afin d’aider les seniors à garder leurs compagnons. C’était merveilleux et en 2025, j’ai commencé à travailler comme promeneur de chiens. J’aime particulièrement les chiens âgés. 75% de mon expérience a été avec des chiens âgés de plus de dix ans. Je traiterai votre vieil homme/dame avec l’amour et le soin que je voudrais pour moi-même. Envoie-moi un message, discutons et voyons comment je peux t’aider ! Et ne t’inquiète pas si je semble trop loin, je suis heureux de voyager n’importe où dans l’île. Veuillez noter que si votre animal nécessite un traitement spécialisé (entreprise 24/7, médicaments programmés, etc.), les tarifs seront ajustés en conséquence. Merci ! EN I offer house sitting, so I am fully available during the week and weekends. My schedule is very flexible. Let’s chat! I can also offer sliding scale, so if something is out of your budget, please reach out, I’d love to help :) FR Je propose le gardiennage de maison, donc je suis entièrement disponible pendant la semaine et les week-ends. Mon emploi du temps est très flexible. Discutons ! Je peux aussi proposer une échelle mobile, donc si quelque chose dépasse votre budget, veuillez me contacter, j’aimerais vous aider :) EN I don’t offer boarding as unfortunately my space doesn’t allow pets, but I am happy to house sit for you or just drop in whenever necessary. I offer basic care such as home cleaning, feeding, litter cleaning, walks, brushing, and companionship, but I am happy to administer medication as well. FR Je n’offre pas de pension car malheureusement mon espace ne permet pas les animaux de compagnie, mais je suis heureux de garder la maison pour vous ou simplement de passer quand c’est nécessaire. Je propose des soins de base tels que le nettoyage de la maison, l’alimentation, le nettoyage de la litière, les promenades, le brossage et la compagnie, mais je suis également heureux d’administrer des médicaments.
About: I've shared my life with dogs and cats for more than 20 years and have experience caring for pets with unique needs. One of the experiences that shaped me most was fostering and adopting Beagles retired from pharmaceutical laboratory testing. These dogs often required extra patience, gentle handling, confidence-building, and close attention to their physical and emotional well-being. Because of this experience, I'm comfortable administering medications, following special diets, monitoring changes in behavior, and providing calm, attentive care for senior pets or animals who may be anxious, shy, or adjusting to new situations. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their families are away. As an entrepreneur currently building my own business, I have the flexibility to create my schedule around the needs of my clients and their pets. This allows me to be available for daytime visits, walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and check-ins that can be challenging for those working a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I appreciate the opportunity to spend time with animals while helping their families travel or manage busy days with peace of mind. Since I provide care in your pet's home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine and helping them feel comfortable in a familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and household rules. Safety is always my first priority, from checking doors and gates to ensuring pets are secure on walks and monitored for any changes in behavior or well-being. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision, and I strive to provide dependable care, clear communication, and regular updates while you're away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Mont-Royal
Magalie est une formidable gardienne. Pour notre chat elle a été parfaite, douce et attentionnée. Elle lui a fait son brossage, couper ses ongles et toutes les autres taches avec soin. Nous avions des photos et vidéos à chaque visite. Une expérience en pleine confiance. Nous la recommandons vivement.
Alessia est une excellente cat sitter. Elle a su créer un lien avec mon chat, pourtant un peu timide et anxieux, presque immédiatement, en respectant son rythme et ses habitudes et en lui accordant toute l'attention dont il avait besoin. En plus, la communication avec Alessia est simple et agréable. Je la recommande sans hésiter!
Karine was absolutely wonderful with both of my cats. One of them is very shy, and she approached him with patience and gentleness. My other cat is demanding and requires medication twice a day, and she handled his routine with total confidence and care. Karine kept me updated throughout my trip with photos and videos and I felt my cats and home are in good hands. I couldn’t ask for a more responsible, caring cat sitter.
Lingjuan did a great job caring for my cats. She kept their litter box clean, made sure they always had water, and fed them as instructed. She also sent me daily updates, which gave me a peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated that she spent quality time with my cats and made sure they were comfortable. I would definitely request her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring petsitter.
Jeanne took exceptional care of Citra while we were away for two weeks. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and reliable, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure Citra’s wellbeing and comfort. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Citra was in such capable hands and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Jeanne to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate person.
Brisa did an amazing job with my 2 cats while I was traveling for a month, providing daily check-ins and even going out of her way to buy them treats when they ran out. She took care of them as if they were her own. My cats are usually very nervous around new people, but they warmed up to her very quickly!
Madeleine was an incredible petsitter and person to us! Ponctualité, proactive, deeply caring for the well being of my little king. I can only recommend her and most definitely rebook without thinking twice. She's very patient and flexible as well. Fast replies and great communication in general. Thank you for everything!!
Mel a été formidable et bien pris soin de notre chat. Elle posait de bonnes questions pour s’assurer de donner les meilleurs soins possibles. Elle donnait des comptes rendus détaillés avec des photos. Elle a portée une attention supplémentaire car il y a eu une période de canicule et s’est assuré que mon chat ait tout ce qu’il fallait pour rester confortable et en santé. Je recommande fortement et continuerai de faire affaire avec Mel :)
I am so incredibly happy we found Jane! She is absolutely amazing with Opal, and I truly appreciate how communicative she is and how accommodating she was with our last-minute booking. Opal absolutely LOVES her and already misses her! I definitely recommend Jane 100% she’s just awesome. Thank you so much! ❤️
Andrea did several drop-in visits and provided great communication throughout the booking. I could tell my cat was in great hands, and I really appreciated her trying to help fix my Furbo when it stopped throwing treats. I came home to a happy cat and a perfectly kept home.
