About: Depuis que je suis toute petite, j’ai toujours vécu entourée d’animaux. Chiens, chats et autres compagnons ont toujours fait partie de ma vie, ce qui m’a permis de développer une véritable passion et une grande facilité à m’occuper d’eux. Aujourd’hui, je partage ma vie avec mon chien, un magnifique mélange de Husky et de Bouvier de 5 ans, ainsi qu’avec mon chat de 11 ans. Je suis habituée aux personnalités, aux besoins et aux petites habitudes propres à chaque animal. J’adore jouer avec eux, passer du temps à leurs côtés et surtout leur offrir toute l’attention et l’affection dont ils ont besoin. Pour moi, garder un animal, ce n’est pas simplement le surveiller : c’est faire en sorte qu’il se sente en sécurité, aimé et bien entouré pendant votre absence. Comme je suis travailleuse autonome, je partage mon temps entre mes contrats de design sur ordinateur et la livraison avec Uber. Ça me permet d’avoir un horaire assez flexible et de m’adapter facilement aux besoins de chaque animal. J’aime justement profiter de cette liberté pour sortir de chez moi, prendre l’air et passer du temps avec des animaux. Que ce soit pour une promenade, une visite, une séance de jeux ou simplement leur tenir compagnie, j’aime pouvoir leur accorder du temps et de l’attention tout au long de la journée. Mon horaire flexible me permet donc d’offrir une présence régulière et de m’adapter aux habitudes de votre compagnon. Je privilégie le gardiennage à votre domicile, afin que votre animal puisse rester dans son environnement habituel, avec ses odeurs, ses repères et sa routine. Je ne garde donc pas les animaux chez moi, notamment parce que mon chat est moins à l’aise avec la présence d’autres animaux. Lors de mes visites, je prends le temps de m’adapter à chaque compagnon et à sa personnalité. Je peux m’occuper de ses repas, de son eau, de sa litière, de ses promenades, de ses besoins particuliers, mais surtout lui offrir une vraie présence et de l’attention. J’aime jouer avec les animaux, les faire bouger, leur donner de l’affection et prendre le temps de créer un lien avec eux. Pour moi, une visite ne consiste pas simplement à « passer faire le nécessaire » : je veux que votre animal profite réellement de ma présence et se sente en confiance pendant votre absence. Je respecte aussi les consignes et les habitudes de chaque propriétaire afin que votre compagnon garde autant que possible sa routine habituelle, même lorsque vous n’êtes pas là.

She was very accommodating with our crazy and sometimes changing schedule, and handled all the walks in a timely fashion. To top it off she’s a great person! We would totally recommend or work with her again.”

About: As a long-term traveler, I’ve stayed with many Airbnb hosts and local families, and I often helped care for their pets while they were away. Spending time with dogs has been one of my favorite parts of traveling. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting before or after work, depending on the day. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so taking dogs for walks fits naturally into my routine. I’m happy to communicate and work around your pet’s schedule whenever possible. As a traveler, I’ve had the opportunity to stay with many families and pet owners, and caring for animals has often been part of those experiences. I know how important trust is when someone is looking after your pet. I will make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages.

My second dog was a large breed named Bud. I understand that animals are sensitive to their environment, which is why I make sure to provide them with a calm and confident presence. I have experience with reactive dogs and know how to redirect their attention in a positive way when needed. I am a patient person and understand that every animal is at a different stage in their learning process. I am ready to provide services that ensure your pet receives consistent training, in line with your approach. Respect is an important value to me, which is why I make sure to respect your schedule and offer flexibility for the unexpected.

About: I love animals and have been caring for pets for many years. I have experience with cats of different ages and personalities, as well as other small pets. I have cared for my own pets, welcomed foster animals into my home, and regularly looked after friends’ pets. I am comfortable caring for kittens/puppies, senior pets, and animals that need medication or extra attention. I will treat your pets with the same care, patience, and affection as my own. 😊 I also speak French. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m flexible and happy to adapt to their routine and needs. I respect each pet’s routine and provide fresh water, meals, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. Their comfort, safety, and well being are always my priority.

About: New to rover? Book your first visit with me and get 20% off ❤️https://www.rover.com/sit/emmac37000 I had an adorable golden doodle growing up as a kid who was my best friend!

Who doesn’t want to see pictures of their four legged family member 🐶 I am available during lunches Wednesdays and Fridays, and evenings every day of the week. On weekends my schedule is completely free! I am happy to adjust to your schedule and figure out a time that works best for you! I have a studio apartment where I can pet sit overnight but there’s lots of greenspace near me and the apartment building is very pet friendly. Lots of people have furry friends here :)

“My goodness, Maire is truly exceptional. I have a very energetic Bernedoodle puppy, and she handles her with such patience, and ease. Ru absolutely adores her, and so do I. I recently had an unexpected emergency, and Maire stepped in without hesitation to care for Ru in my absence. That kind of reliability and heart means everything. She has the calmest, sweetest spirit, and you can genuinely feel how much she loves animals. I cannot recommend Maire highly enough. She is a gift. 🐶✨”

About: • English will follow • Sur Pawshake depuis longtemps, nouvelle sur Rover :) Allô 😊 Je cherche des chats à garder chez moi, des chiens à promener sur le plateau, et je peux visiter l’un et l’autre à votre domicile. J’ai vécu toute mon enfance et mon adolescence entourée de plein d'animaux de toutes sortes. J'ai immigré au Québec il y a huit ans et je n'ai pas encore décidé de convier un animal à partager ma vie. Garder ceux des autres me paraît donc un excellent compromis pour le moment 😊 Les propriétaires d'animaux me font souvent remarquer que leurs animaux ne sont pas à l'aise aussi rapidement d’habitude avec les étrangers et c’est toujours quelque chose qui me touche beaucoup. C'est vrai que j'ai un bon feeling avec eux. Je les aime, et ils me le rendent bien ! Je suis une personne douce et patiente. J’adore l’art, la psychologie, lire, et voyager. Ce qui est inclus dans mes services en dehors de donner à manger et nettoyer la caisse des chats : - administration de pilules - rappels de dressage pour les chiens pendant les promenades - brossage - envoi de nouvelles et de photos régulièrement - adaptation du comportement en fonction des enjeux et personnalités de chaque animal (cependant les animaux agressifs ne seront pas tolérés) - plein d'amour 😊 Je garde parfois plusieurs chats simultanément et je n’ai jamais eu de problèmes jusqu’ici. Faites moi part de vos questions ou inquiétudes si vous en avez :) Veuillez traiter vos chats contre les puces avant de venir. Les chats qui s'avèrent particulièrement agressifs seront isolés dans une chambre à part au calme. Cela est tout de fois rarissime. Les promenade de chiens sont d'environ 45 minutes. Totalement négociable si pas suffisant 😊 Je vis seule dans un trois et demi spacieux et calme, personne ne manquera de place ! Les animaux peuvent dormir là où ils veulent, ca ne me dérange pas. Environnement propre et sans fumée. J’ai deux balcons mais pour des raisons de sécurité les animaux ne seront pas autorisés à y accéder. Je me tiens à disposition pour toute question. Bien hâte de vous rencontrer vous et vos amis à quatre pattes ! PS: soyez ponctuels svp. ENG *I don't host dogs at the moment :)* Hi 😊 I am looking for cats to keep at my home, dogs to walk, and I can visit both at your home (and water your plants while I'm there 😊plateau neighborhood) I lived all my childhood and adolescence surrounded by many animals of all kinds. I immigrated to Quebec six years ago and I have not yet decided to invite an animal to share my life. Keeping those of others seems to me an excellent compromise for the moment 😊 Animal owners often tell me that their animals are not as comfortable as quickly as usual with strangers and for me it is always a great compliment. I have a great feeling with them. I love them, and they love me back ! I am a gentle and patient person. I love art, psychology, and traveling. What is included in my services besides feeding and cleaning the litter box of cats : - administration of pills - training reminders for dogs during walks - brushing - sending news and photos/videos regularly - adaptation of behavior according to the issues and personalities of each animal (however aggressive animals won't be tolerated) - lots of love 😊 I keep cats from different families simultaneously sometimes and never had any issues so far. Your cat will have to have received flea treatment for the health of my other little ones if ever. Walks for dogs last 45 minutes. Totally negotiable if not enough 😊 I live in a quiet three and a half, no one will miss space ! The animals can sleep wherever they want, it does not bother me. Smoke-free environment. I have two balconies but for safety reasons the animals will not be allowed to access them. I am available for any questions. Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged friends! Je suis actuellement disponible tous les jours et à la maison, ça va me faire plaisir de m'adapter à votre emploi du temps pour m'occuper de vos animaux🩵 C'est important les longues balades, les câlins, les jeux, et leur parler dès qu'on le peut! Les animaux aiment ça souvent bien plus qu'on ne l'imaginerait :)

About: I grew up around (minimum) 4 dogs my whole life and now would cherish the opportunity to care for your pet! I was heavily involved in the care and training of my pets and have taken various puppy training courses. I have gotten the chance to know lots of different furry friends - big and small- and am confident in my ability to care for all kinds of pets. I am a part-time student at McGill in my last year of study. I am finding myself with lots of free time and would love the opportunity to fill it up pet play time and walks! Thursday to Sunday is completely open and I never have obligations outside the home for more than 4 hours. I have access to a shared fenced yard outdoor space and I have a spare room that can fit any and all pet supplies. My home space is always tidy and organized as it is a reflection of me. Growing up with animals I understand the importance of clearing a room of potential dangers (left out food, toxic plants, etc).

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’m a very gentle natured person, animals tend to notice that and gravitate towards me. I will take good care of your little loved ones. I work a full time job, but my hours are very flexible making it easy to incorporate other activities during my day. If you need me, I’ll be there! I can cat sit in my home as I don’t have any other pets, and the space is very comfortable for them. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in the apartment I’m renting so I won’t be able to accommodate them.
