“Hope is a wonderful house and dog sitter. Both Archie and Mocha took to her immediately and treated her like their own 😆. They were happy and content and she followed all the schedules and instructions to make my trip as easy on them as possible. She provided continuous updates and many photos that made me smile don't feel good while I was away. She also left the house in perfect shape for my return. I already have her booked for my next long-term trip.”
About: My wife and I both grew up in homes with dogs, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of our lives. We understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks and we genuinely enjoy getting to know them. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply keeping your pet comfortable while you’re away, we’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. We’re also comfortable with dogs of different ages and needs, from energetic pups to seniors who need a little extra patience. Most importantly, we know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. We’re dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets with the same kindness and respect we give our own. I work from home, which makes it easy to fit pet care into my day. I’m already active with walks and workouts, so including dogs or cats in my routine feels natural. Whether it’s morning, evening, or weekends, I can give pets the consistency and attention they need. I work from home, so pets are never left alone for long. I’m active and make sure dogs get plenty of walks, play, and attention. In your home, I follow routines exactly as you lay them out, keeping pets comfortable in their own space. I create a safe, calm environment where they feel looked after like family.
About: EN/FR Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've been around dogs of many different breeds, both growing up and through pet sitting, including Pit Bulls, Chihuahuas, Huskies, German Shepherds, Miniature Shih Tzus, Beagles, Dachshunds, and many more. Over the past three years, my partner and I have completed numerous house and pet sits while traveling around the world. This experience has given us the opportunity to care for dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities, routines, and individual needs in many different environments. House sitting has now become a full-time lifestyle for us. I am also comfortable administering certain medications (depending on the method of administration) and place great importance on respecting each pet's routine so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away. --------------------- Je suis entourée d'animaux depuis aussi longtemps que ma mémoire me le permet. J'ai eu des chiens de plusieurs races dans mon entourage, à la maison ainsi qu'en garde, notamment des Pitbulls, Chihuahuas, Huskys, Bergers allemands, Shih Tzus miniatures, Beagles, Teckels et beaucoup plus. Au cours des trois dernières années, mon conjoint et moi avons réalisé de nombreux gardiennages de maisons et d'animaux pendant nos voyages à travers le monde. Cette expérience nous a permis de prendre soin de chiens et de chats aux personnalités, routines et besoins très variés, dans différents environnements. Le housesitting est devenu un mode de vie pour nous maintenant qu'on le fait à temps plein. Je suis également à l'aise d'administrer certains médicaments (selon le type d'administration) et j'accorde une grande importance au respect des habitudes de chaque animal afin qu'il se sente en sécurité, détendu et aimé pendant votre absence. EN/FR We manage our own schedule, which gives us a great deal of flexibility throughout the week. Since we both work remotely and have made house and pet sitting our full-time lifestyle, our daily routine naturally revolves around the needs of the pets in our care. Born and raised in Montreal, we've been together for over 10 years. Our years of house sitting have taught us how to quickly adapt to new homes, respect each family's routines, stay organized, and handle unexpected situations with a calm approach. When we're not working, we enjoy cooking, spending time outdoors, staying active, watching movies, and continually learning new skills. This balanced lifestyle allows us to provide pets with plenty of companionship, affection, and attentive care while their families are away. --------------------- Nous gérons notre propre horaire, ce qui nous offre une grande flexibilité au quotidien. Nous travaillons tous les deux à distance et avons fait du gardiennage de maisons et d'animaux notre mode de vie à temps plein. Nos journées s'organisent donc naturellement autour des besoins des animaux dont nous prenons soin. Originaires de Montréal et en couple depuis plus de 10 ans, nous sommes habitués à nous adapter rapidement à de nouveaux environnements et à respecter les habitudes de chaque foyer. Notre expérience de plusieurs années en housesitting nous a appris à être organisés et à gérer les imprévus avec calme. Lorsque nous ne travaillons pas, nous aimons cuisiner, profiter du plein air, faire de l'activité physique, regarder des films et continuer à apprendre de nouvelles choses. Cette routine équilibrée nous permet d'offrir une présence attentionnée, beaucoup d'affection et du temps de qualité aux animaux qui nous sont confiés. EN/FR We exclusively offer pet sitting in our clients' homes. We believe pets are happiest and most relaxed when they can remain in their familiar environment, surrounded by the routines and comforts they know. Our priority is to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (when required), and all the little habits that help them feel safe and comfortable. We also treat your home with the same care and respect we would our own. We believe good communication is essential, so we're happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos while you're away, giving you complete peace of mind. If you have any questions, we'd be happy to answer them and discuss your expectations so you can feel completely confident entrusting us with your home and your pets. --------------------- Nous offrons exclusivement des services de garde à votre domicile. Nous croyons que les animaux sont généralement plus heureux et détendus lorsqu'ils restent dans leur environnement familier, où leurs habitudes et leurs repères sont préservés. Notre priorité est de respecter votre routine autant que possible : heures des repas, promenades, jeux, médication (au besoin), ainsi que toutes les petites habitudes qui contribuent au bien-être de votre compagnon. Nous traitons également votre maison avec le même soin et le même respect que si c'était la nôtre. Nous aimons maintenir une bonne communication avec les propriétaires en donnant des nouvelles régulières, accompagnées de photos ou de vidéos, afin que vous puissiez profiter de votre absence en toute tranquillité. Si vous avez la moindre question, il nous fera plaisir d'y répondre et de discuter de vos attentes afin que vous puissiez faire un choix en toute confiance.
“Jay was super nice and fantastic with our cat and dog! We came back from our weekend get away the house was clean and the animals were happy! I highly recommend Jay, you can see how much she loves the animals 😊”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was 4 years old. I am also a dog groomer, and worked in an animal hospital so animals are my jam! I am available Mondays, and the weekends. I can walk dogs and check in on cats after work as well. We can work together to see how to make it work! I am very vigilant in handling animals and ensuring their safety at every moment. Your animals will be safe with me! As a pet owner I know how important this is to many other owners!
“Une gardienne incroyable ! Je recommande fortement Isabelle. Nous avons été pris au dépourvu par un de nos chats qui est tombé malade juste avant nos vacances, et nous sommes donc partis à la recherche d’une gardienne pour la fin de semaine. Isabelle a répondu très rapidement dès notre premier contact, et nos chats se sont tout de suite entichés d’elle. La mission n’était pourtant pas simple : gérer quatre chats, dont un qui doit recevoir des médicaments deux fois par jour pour son œil. Elle s’en est sortie avec brio ! Nous avons retrouvé nos chats calmes et reposés. Un vrai bonheur, merci !”
About: I’ve been sitting privately with loyal clients that have grown because of their referrals. I’ve sat a diverse group of clients from 3 furry friends under one roof to 1 with an asthma pump. Pet sitting is a great fit into my routine! As a masters student who lives far from school, house sitting simplifies the trips. A greater benefit is in having to take care of a pet, I remember to take care of myself. So the walks and set times to eat go a long way I am used to having a personalized care plans for all clients. Dogsitting is a time for me to be alone as I work with people all day (no parties)
“Marianne a passé la journée chez nous avec nos animaux!!! Je n’ai que de bons mots pour elle. Elle nous a rapidement mit en confiance. Elle est arrivée à l’heure! Elle s’est occupé un peu plus de notre chien qui avait eu une opération quelques jours plus tôt! Je recommande Marianne et je n’hésiterai pas à utiliser ses services à nouveaux!”

“Junya did an excellent job taking care of my 3 year old border collie, while I was on vacation. She spent 11 days dog and house sitting. I came back home with my dog happy and healthy. As well as with my house being well maintained and respected. Thank you so much!!”
“Hiba was very attentive and caring for Boozer while we were out. She was so accommodating and was understanding about some concerns we had (a very scary experience with another Rover care giver). She put us at ease, and was a pleasure to work with, we would highly recommend her services! Thank you Hiba!”
“Belle rencontre, Marcus l’a aimé dès notre première rencontre. Breanna a pris le temps de venir rencontrer Marcus avant le premier gardiennage, ça m’a beaucoup rassuré. D’une grande gentillesse et très ponctuelle. On voit facilement qu’elle aime les chiens. Je referai appel à ses services, merci Breanna.”

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Pointe-Claire maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Pointe-Claire walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Pointe-Claire 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
