About: Ayant eu des chiens toute ma vie dès un jeune âge, j'a une excellente compréhension du langage canin. Mon dernier chien était un anxieux\reactif aux nouveaux humain, surtout les hommes. On a passé a travers milles émotions ensemble, j'ai donc une empathie trés grande envers les pitous au besoins spéciaux. J'adore tous les animaux, peu importe leur comportements, leurs émotions. Ils méritent tous les meilleurs soin qu'on peut leurs offrir, au meilleures de nos capacités. Notez que mon chien est décédé récemment donc il n'y a aucun autre animaux à la maison durant les gardes. Depuis qu'il est parti, j'ai commencé à garder les chiens dans mon entourage et ça me fait beaucoup de bien d'être entourée d'animaux dans mon quotidien. Travailleuse autonome depuis 5 ans, j'ai donc beaucoup de temps à la maison et faire des petites promenades est vraiment apprécié dans mon mode de vie! Cela me permet de prendre l'air et rester active au quotidien. Je comprend beaucoup les enjeux de territoire avec des chiens avec des tendances plus territoriales. Donc il est important pour moi de respecter les limites de l'animal, chez lui ainsi que chez moi. Je comprend aussi qu'être séparé de son maitre peut être une source de stress et d'anxiété de séparation pour certains animaux. Donc il me fera plaisir d'être aux petits soin avec chacuns d'eux, du plus haut de mes capacités. J'aime faire des promenades, aller au parc a chien, sur le bord de l'eau, trouver des endroits ou le faire courrir, lui donner des friandises et plein de calins si il le désire.
About: Bonjour, Je m'appelle Kynsia et j'habite un 4 1/2 sur le Plateau à Montréal. Je suis impliquée dans le gardiennage d’animaux de compagnie depuis plusieurs années. Présentement, je ne fais que la garde de chats chez moi. J’en ai un à moi qui est très habitué à côtoyer d’autres animaux, il est donc très sociable. Il est important que le vôtre le soit également, en plus d’avoir ses vaccins de base. Je souhaite faire bénéficier votre animal de tout l'amour et l'attention que j'ai à offrir durant votre absence en lui donnant de l’affection, en jouant et en passant du temps de qualité avec lui. Je peux faire l'administration de pilule par voie orale et faire le brossage. J’ai également déjà administré des injections d’insuline auparavant. Je fais la litière tous les jours afin que l’environnement soit propre et confortable. J'offre un environnement sans fumée et je ne quitte mon logement que pour de courtes durées de temps pour le travail, je suis donc en mesure de donner beaucoup d'attention à votre animal. Votre animal de compagnie dormira là où il le souhaite dans l’appartement. Vous recevrez des messages et des photos de ma part régulièrement pour vous tenir au courant du déroulement du séjour de votre animal chez moi. Sentez-vous libre de me poser toutes vos questions et de me communiquer les besoins particuliers de votre animal. Il me fera plaisir d'y répondre et je ferai de mon mieux pour vous accommoder par rapport aux dates et autres demandes. À très bientôt!! // Hello, My name is Kynsia and I live in a 4 1/2 apartment in the Plateau neighborhood of Montreal. I have been involved in pet sitting for several years. Currently, I only offer cat sitting services at my home. I have a cat of my own who is very used to being around other animals, so he is very sociable. It is important that yours is too and that he is vaccinated for general diseases. I want to give your pet all the love and attention I can offer during your absence by giving him affection, playing with him, and spending quality time with him. I can administer oral medication and brush him. I have also administered insulin injections before. I clean the litter box every day to ensure a clean and comfortable environment. I provide a smoke-free environment and I only leave my apartment for short periods for work, so I am able to give your pet plenty of attention. Your pet will sleep wherever they like in the apartment. You will receive regular messages and photos from me to keep you updated on your pet's stay. Please feel free to ask me any questions and let me know about any special needs your pet may have. I will be happy to answer them and will do my best to accommodate you with the dates and other demands. See you soon!! Je travaille dans le milieu scolaire, je suis donc en vacances durant l'été et je dispose de beaucoup de temps libre pour prendre soin de votre animal (jour, soir et fin de semaine) tout au long de l'année. Je ne travaille à l'extérieur que quelques heures par jour et mon horaire est très flexible! // I work in schools, so I am on vacation during the summer and I have plenty of time to take care of your pet (days, evenings and weekends) during the rest of the school year. I only work outside a few hours a day and my schedule is flexible. J'habite un bâtiment ou les chats sont permis, les autres locataires sont donc familiers avec la présence de ces derniers. Je suis au troisième étage et la porte est barrée en permanence. J'utilise une laisse si vous souhaitez que votre animal ait accès au balcon. J'offre un environnement sans fumée et sécuritaire. // I live in a cat friendly building, so the other tenants are familiar with their presence. I am located on the third floor and the door is locked at all times. I also use a leash if you would like your cat to go on the balcony.
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.

About: Les chiens ont toujours occupé une place importante dans ma vie. La seule raison pourquoi j'ai mis 1 année d'expérience c'est parce que je n'ai pas mon propre chien, cependant j'ai toujours aimé les chiens, étant plus jeune je m'occupais aussi des chiens de mes amis.

Je prendrai soin de votre compagnon comme s'il était le mien, en lui offrant de l'attention, des promenades adaptées, des jeux et beaucoup d'affection.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8 years old, when I walked my neighbours schnauzer around the park almost every weekend until she died when I was 16. I’ve also sat all types of dogs from golden retrievers to puppy dachshunds. I am not afraid of any animals and I’ll always treat them with the best care I can give. Being far from home and away from my pets I am trying to fill the animal sized hole in my heart. I currently a student at Concordia university and don’t have a full time job rather I do freelance work where I can find it luckily most of my classes aren’t in person so I am free almost all of the time Unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to keep any animals in my student residence. But if you invite me into your home to take care of your animal(s) I will treat the area with the upmost respect and will clean up any mess me or the animal makes while I am present
About: I've been around dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Growing up, there was always a pet in my home, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life since childhood.

I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship, and I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for 4 years, and honestly, my dog thinks I’m his full-time personal assistant. I handle everything; long twice-a-day walks, feeding, training, trick-learning sessions, and emotional support during dramatic “I didn’t get enough treats today” moments. I love active, silly, clingy, or attitude-filled dogs. If your pup stays with me, he/she will be treated like family; loved, safe, and happy. I’m free all day on Tuesdays, thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and I’m available every evening during the week. My schedule can change a bit depending on the week, but I make sure my profile stays accurate. I make sure your dog feels secure in their own home by sticking to their routine, supervising them closely, and giving them lots of attention. I’m respectful, tidy, and keep your space exactly as I found it.
About: I’ve been taking in strays and fostering furry misfits since I was barely taller than a Labrador! From bottle-feeding kittens to winning over the grumpiest rescue dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’m home full-time, which means your pet gets my undivided attention : walks, playtime, belly rubs, and all the love they can get! So don’t you worry! Whether it’s in my home or yours, I aim to make pets feel like they’re on a cozy vacation. At my place, they’ll get a comfy spot to snooze, plenty of playtime, and a calm, loving environment (plus treats if allowed!). In your home, I keep their routine steady—meals on time, walks as usual, and lots of cuddles to keep tails wagging and whiskers twitching. I treat every pet like they’re my own—because for a little while, they kind of are!
About: I grew up with animals, always felt a pull towards them. The nurturing comes easy to me:) I’d always help out with family and friend’s pets, any way I can. My friends and family relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, play, and even some simple training for their pets. I am currently in the look for a job:) So my schedule is quite open for now. As well as I can build my schedule around the pet care I provide I keep routines consistent, and ensure doors, gates, and supplies are secure. I prioritize always focusing on your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust. As well as; cleanliness, respecting your home, and providing regular updates.
About: My passion for animals began at the age of 7, when I took care of a standard poodle and created agility courses for him, since I couldn’t have pets of my own. Since then, my love for animals has only grown, and today I am a proud parent to several companions. Each animal is unique, and I make sure to provide them with attentive care, as if they were part of my family. Caring for animals is an integral part of my daily routine. Between feeding, playtime, and maintaining a clean and stimulating environment, I care for my pets with love every day. I’m used to balancing active play sessions with quiet, relaxing moments. Having also raised a litter of kittens, I know how to adapt my routine to meet the needs of animals at every stage of their lives. Whether it’s for my own pets or others, providing consistent and attentive care comes naturally to me. Whether at my home or my clients’ homes, I always tailor my care to the specific needs of each animal. At home, I create a safe and stimulating environment, with spaces to play, relax, and feel right at home. My pets are used to sharing their space, which makes it easier to welcome new companions. Chez mes clients, je respecte les habitudes et la routine de l'animal pour assurer un maximum de confort en leur absence. Qu'il s'agisse de promenades, de jeux interactifs, de repas ou simplement de leur tenir compagnie, je veille à ce que chaque animal reçoive toute l'attention et les soins nécessaires pour se sentir en sécurité et épanoui.
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 :)

About: I have several years of hands-on experience working with animals in both veterinary and pet care settings. I’ve worked as a client care receptionist in animal hospitals, where I regularly interacted with pets of all temperaments, assisted with handling animals, checked pets in for surgery and wellness visits, and helped administer medications when needed. I’ve also worked at PetSmart and a grooming salon, where I cared for animals daily, assisted groomers, bathed and brushed dogs, monitored pet behavior, and ensured pets were safe, comfortable, and happy. Through these roles, I’ve learned how to recognize stress signals, handle pets calmly, and provide compassionate care—especially for nervous or senior animals. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animal well-being. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I am an assistant basketball coach and have practices for 1–2 hours on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Outside of those times, I am available throughout the day for drop-in visits, walks, and pet care. I occasionally have games on weekends, but I still maintain availability before and after games and will always communicate clearly in advance. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to work around your pet’s routine! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Montréal-Est
Mel was perfect. On some ways she exceeded expectation. Was the first time away from our dogs and we were worried about how they might deal with our not being around. Mel played, fed and made sure they got lots of attention when she visited. She also provided daily updates which was greatly appreciated. As there was an icy rain fall, she aussi offered to salt the stairs so that it might be easier for the dogs. Just a very good experience and would recommend her to everyone. A true love of her work. There is no doubt.
