House Sitting in Mont-Saint-Gregoire

About: J'ai toujours été une grande amoureuse des animaux et particulièrement des chiens, des chats et des lapins. Ma famille a eu beaucoup d'animaux donc j'ai été en contact très jeunes avec eux. J'ai un amour d'emblée pour chacun d'entre eux, et ce, peu importe la taille, l'âge et la particularités de ceux-ci. Je suis à l'aise à administrer des traitements par la nourriture, les laver et jouer avec eux sans aucun problème. Je suis très patiente et calme, ce qui me permet d'avoir un lien immédiat avec les animaux. Je suis flexible dans mon horaire puisque j'établis moi-même mes heures de travail. Je peux donc m'adapter selon les besoins de vos animaux de compagnie. J'aime m'adapter aux besoins des animaux. Certains sont plus joueurs que d'autres et c'est ce qui fait leur charme. Peu importe l'endroit ou l'espace que vous disposez, je serais offrir du temps de qualité à votre animal. Dans mon logement, je dispose d'une cour arrière dans laquelle on pourra jouer, mais je vis également proche de plusieurs parcs dans lesquels il me fera plaisir d'aller les balader en toute sécurité.

“Sofia stayed at our home for 10-days, looking after our dog (Toshi) and our cat (Gustav), while we were away for a wedding outside the country. Sofia was in communication with us and provided regular updates on the animals. Toshi and Gustav bonded nicely with Sofia and she took very good care of them. She followed our instructions on the feeding of the animals and letting Toshi out in the backyard as required. Sofia even made the effort to take Toshi out for walks but he is a big dog (127 lbs) and the winter weather was very harsh (-27 degrees centigrade temperatures) so this was not an easy task! We received regular updates and photos of our pets during this time away for us and she asked all relevant questions related to the functioning of the home. She even cleaned up the house before she left here. I would definitely recommend her to others who are looking for a trusted house sitter.”

About: Ayant moi-même un pomsky avec beaucoup d’énergie, j’adore marcher avec elle plusieurs fois par jour. Je garde souvent les chiens de mes amis, et j’adore les chiens et la nature.

About: I've always had pets at home growing up such as dogs, cats and even reptiles ! I also have experience caring for fishes, rabbits, chickens and pigs. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pets in someone else's care, which is why I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am more than happy to follow your pet's routine, and will make sure you receive regular updates while you're away ! I look forward meeting you and your pets ! Français / English I am currently in school, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available during weekdays and weekends and can adapt easily to your pet’s routine and specific needs. I have both a cat and a dog at home, so my space is fully equipped with a variety of toys and enrichment items. I carefully supervise all interactions between animals to ensure everyone’s safety. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and for added security, I have a securely fenced yard to provide a safe environment during outdoor time.

About: Passionnée par les animaux depuis toujours, j’ai grandi entourée de chiens, chats, lapins et même poissons. Aujourd’hui encore, les animaux occupent une place centrale dans ma vie. Famille et amis me font confiance depuis des années pour la garde de leurs chiens et chats, que ce soit pour une courte absence, un week-end ou un long voyage. Je propose des services de garde de chiens et de chats sur la Rive-Sud de Montréal, incluant les promenades quotidiennes, les visites à domicile, randonnées, sorties au parc etc, ainsi que les soins adaptés aux besoins spécifiques de chaque animal. 💕 J’ai de l’expérience avec les chats malades ou âgés (seniors), incluant l’administration de médicaments selon les directives du propriétaire. Grande marcheuse au quotidien, je veille toujours à offrir des sorties stimulantes, sécuritaires et adaptées au niveau d’énergie de votre chien. 🎾 Avec moi, votre compagnon recevra attention, douceur, sécurité et présence réelle. Je comprends à quel point il est important de laisser son animal entre de bonnes mains, et je m’engage à vous offrir une communication transparente et rassurante pendant votre absence. Au plaisir de prendre soin de votre animal comme s’il faisait partie de ma famille 🤍🐶🐱 Les animaux ont toujours fait partie de mon quotidien. Travaillant principalement de la maison, j’ai une routine flexible qui me permet d’intégrer facilement les visites, les gardes ou les promenades dans ma semaine, tout en offrant une présence réelle et attentive. Ayant récemment vécu le deuil de mon chat Moustache, je ressens encore plus profondément l’importance d’offrir douceur, stabilité et affection aux animaux dont je prends soin. J’ai du temps, de l’énergie et surtout beaucoup d’amour et de compassion à donner. Prendre soin d’animaux s’intègre donc naturellement dans mon quotidien. 🐾🤍 Je m’adapte toujours au service choisi et aux besoins spécifiques de votre animal. Pour les promenades et les visites à domicile, je me déplace principalement à pied dans mon quartier résidentiel et boisé, entouré de grands espaces verts propices aux sorties sécuritaires et stimulantes. J’ai également un véhicule, ce qui me permet d’accéder à de vastes parcs, au bord de l’eau et à différents environnements naturels lorsque cela est approprié pour votre chien. À mon domicile, je peux accueillir votre chat dans un environnement calme et confortable. Il aura accès à l’ensemble de l’espace ou, si vous préférez (notamment pour les chats nerveux ou anxieux) je peux aménager une pièce dédiée afin de respecter son rythme et favoriser son adaptation en douceur. Mon approche est toujours basée sur la sécurité, la patience et le respect du tempérament unique de chaque animal. 🐾🤍

About: I believe animals are always communicating with us, and I approach pet care by listening first and responding with patience and care. I have 12 years of experience with my own dog and have worked through reactivity, anxiety, fear of noises, and leash pulling using positive reinforcement. I have worked with multiple trainers over the years and have spent a lot of time learning about dog behaviour and psychology, which has shaped how I care for animals today. I pay close attention to body language and subtle cues like freezing, yawning, or disengaging. When a dog seems overwhelmed, I focus on helping them feel safe and settled by creating space, choosing calmer routes or environments, or redirecting them toward something grounding. With shy or nervous dogs, I always let them approach on their own terms and give them the freedom to take breaks or step away when needed. I also believe in balancing physical and mental stimulation. Along with fulfilling walks, I enjoy incorporating enrichment like sniffing games, confidence-building activities, and gentle training. These activities work well for high-energy dogs and can also help more nervous or shy dogs feel comfortable and confident. I have experience caring for large and small dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, as well as administering medication including pills, liquids, topical treatments, and ear drops. I am very comfortable following vet instructions and care routines, and I tend to be very organized and attentive to detail. Above all, I genuinely care about each animal’s wellbeing and individuality. I use patience, positive reinforcement, and observation as the foundation of my care, and I always do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. I’m currently a work-from-home professional so I am quite flexible time and space wise. I am available at virtually any time and can readily offer overnight care in your home while you’re away. With a persistent attention to detail, I frequently look out for when an animal is trying to communicate a need, such as them wanting water, to play, to eat, to be pet, etc. I always ensure they have fresh, clean water and that they are fed the appropriate amount and on time. I also like to spend quality time with them giving them belly rubs and and behind-the-ear scratches. I also look out for their safety by keeping things that might be dangerous out of reach as well as checking in on them frequently to make sure they are doing well :)

“Je recommande à 200%. Maude a démontré une grande gentillesse et une grande bienveillance envers mon chat. Elle sait vraiment bien s'occuper de lui, la rassurer et jouer avec lui.”

About: J’ai toujours vécu avec des animaux et m’en suis occupée au quotidien, notamment avec mon propre chien, un berger allemand. J’ai l’habitude de comprendre leurs besoins, leur énergie et leur comportement. Je propose des promenades calmes, sécuritaires et adaptées à chaque chien. Je prends le temps avec eux, sans stress, en respectant leur rythme. Je propose également des visites à domicile (gardiennage), pour nourrir, donner de l’attention et m’assurer que votre animal se sente bien en votre absence. Je suis une personne fiable, douce et attentive, et je comprends à quel point il est important de laisser son animal à quelqu’un de confiance. Je peux également envoyer des nouvelles et des photos pendant les visites ou promenades pour vous rassurer. Au plaisir de rencontrer votre chien 🐾 Je suis disponible en semaine en fin de journée ainsi que les week-ends pour les promenades. Je propose également des gardes à domicile principalement les week-ends, idéales si vous devez vous absenter ou partir en voyage. Je m’adapte au besoin de chaque animal et je prends le temps nécessaire pour assurer leur bien-être. Lors de mes visites à domicile, je respecte toujours l’environnement de l’animal afin qu’il se sente en sécurité et en confiance.

“It was our first time leaving our puppy, and we had a phenomenal experience with Esther. She sent tons of pictures and video updates throughout the evening, and was amazing at keeping our minds at ease. Would highly recommend Esther for all your puppy needs!”

About: J’ai toujours eu des animaux, chats et chiens. Je ne peux pas en avoir dans mon appartement et je m’ennuie du contact et l’amour animalier. J’ai énormément de disponibilités et de flexibilité étant en arrêt de travail depuis 2 ans. Il me fera plaisir de vous offrir de mon temps avec vos animaux chéris. Je suis active, j’adore marcher pendant plus d’une heure et il me ferais plaisir de permettre à votre chien d’avoir cet exercice avec moi. Je garde également souvent les chats de mes ami.e.s. Et j’adore me coller et les flatter, leur parler et dire comment ils sont beaux. J’adore découvrir les personnalités uniques de chaque animaux.

About: I grew up with 30+ bunnies in my backyard, and had 3 cats. My mom still has 2 rescued dogs and 4 rescued cats and 1 bird that i babysit sometimes while working from home. I currently live with my sister that has a small pugchi mix so i’m used to being the babysitter for her as well when she goes to work or on trips. I took care of 2 ex-boyfriend’s dogs that were a german shepherd and a golden retriever. I work from home 100% of the time (so I can stay for as long as needed and give your home and furry friends all the love and attention they deserve!) All i need is for you to have reliable Wi-Fi i can connect to in order to work. Im able to give your pet attention throughout the whole day and go for potty breaks when needed. Walks would be before work, during lunchbreak and after work. I speak FR and EN. I can give you updates and pictures as much as you need to feel like your baby is safe. I’m a very calm person and would be working on my computer wether it’s a weekday or weekend so your home is in good hands. I can also do a house clean for a fee if you’re interested.

“Friendly, tidy, flexible, and responsive. Lindsay cared for our cats and dog while we were away. An unexpected issue had occurred with our return flights, which Lindsay was understanding and flexible with. She followed the instructions we left with regards to our pets, and tidied our apartment before we returned, which was very thoughtful! We recommend her, and would use her services again.”

“We honestly cannot say enough good things about Cristine. The day before we left, our dog unexpectedly had to go to the vet, which meant we were leaving him with multiple medications and a lot of anxiety on our end… we were so nervous about traveling under those circumstances, but Cristine immediately put us at ease. She went above and beyond in every possible way… following medication instructions perfectly, keeping us updated, and caring for him with so much attention, patience, and genuine kindness. It was clear she truly cared about his comfort and well-being!!! We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a spotless home… and most importantly, complete peace of mind while we were away. Trusting someone with your dog is one thing… trusting someone when your dog isn’t 100% is another… and Cristine exceeded every expectation. If we could give 6 stars, we absolutely would. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would not hesitate for a second to book with her again… highly, highly recommend!!!!!!”

About: Ive been fortunate to have always been surrounded by dogs, cats, bunnies, and other animals at my parents rehabilitation center. I volunteered for the SPCA as a trained dog-walker for close to a decade and am unfazed by any behavioural /aggressive traits as I’ve fostered a range of rescues and owned seniors throughout my 20s. Please ask me any questions about the experience you’re searching for :) I’ve recently finished my graduate studies and work remotely part-time. My partner and I take care of our senior dog (12) so I am happy to house sit or provide drop ins/walks anytime. My schedule is flexible, let’s chat about what your and your pets’ needs are! Fenced in yard, spotless house so they won’t get into anything, and constant company :) I’m responsible but easy going, let me know your rules and I’ll follow them to keep your pet comfortable and on schedule

About: I've always been in love with pets specially dogs, cats and birds. I usually take care of my friends pumpkins while their away and keep them happy and healthy. I actually believe in this quote from Milan K: "Dogs are our link to paradise". Aren't they? Luckily I have flexible working hours so I can adjust my schedule based on your need to spend quality time with your pet and do the work later! It is unbearable for me to see a bored dog or cat. I will play with them without feeling the time and make sure they have their food and medications.

About: I've grown up with animals and have taken care of friend and family pets over the course of my life (am now in my 40s). And I've been taking care of cats and dogs professionally for a few years now, from young to old, healthy to less healthy. I'm very good at bonding with the animals, adjusting to their own pace and ways of being and so making them feel at ease. I work from home, so I'm around the animals a lot. Being a freelancer, I make my own schedule and this flexibility makes it easy to attend to the pets' needs. I'm also an early riser so it's no problem to take care of them early on in the day. I only offer house-sitting so I'll be in your home and will work with that configuration as per your instructions to ensure the pet's safety and well-being.
