About: Fan fini des animaux de compagnie, j’ai la chance d’en côtoyer d’aussi loin que je me souvienne. J’ai beaucoup de plaisir avec eux et me sens privilégiée lorsqu’on a l’occasion de s’apprivoiser. Heureuse de partager mon environnement avec une belle Husky de 8 ans depuis septembre2026 vivant avec 2.8 pattes, je vous propose alors une attention et des soins hors pair pour vos compagnons. Marcher, socialiser, jeux et encore plus! Je travaille pour le service incendie de la MRC de D’Autray et j’ai un horaire de travail plutôt typique soit de 8h à 17h, et termine à midi le vendredi. Je suis disponible tôt le matin et en soirée pour les journées de semaine et suis SUPER disponible les week-ends. J’ai actuellement 2 chats, Tomtom 12 ans et Simon 5 ans. J’ai beaucoup de plaisir à faire en sorte que tout est harmonieux pour tous. Auparavant j’ai eu un Berger Allemand/Husky/Beauceron pour lequel j’ai suivi un cours de dressage (pour le maître… hahah). Par la suite, j’ai « rescue » toute sortes de quadrupèdes (chiens, chats et même une rate).
“Emily et Nicholas ont été des gardiens absolument remarquables. Ils se sont occupés de mes animaux avec beaucoup d’attention, y compris de mon jeune chien de grande taille qui demande des sorties régulières et une bonne dose d’énergie. Tout s’est déroulé à merveille : ils ont su gérer son rythme, ses besoins et lui offrir une présence rassurante. En plus de cela, ma maison était impeccable à mon retour. Ils ont fait preuve de sérieux, de respect et d’un grand sens des responsabilités. Je me suis sentie en totale confiance du début à la fin. Je les recommande sans hésitation à quiconque cherche des gardiens fiables, attentionnés et professionnels.”

About: Les animaux font partie de ma vie depuis toujours! J’ai de l’expérience auprès des chiens et des chats, notamment ceux qui nécessitent des soins particuliers. Ayant moi-même pris soin, pendant plusieurs années, d’un sphynx ayant des besoins spécifiques, je suis familière avec les soins de peau, d’hygiène dentaire et l’attention supplémentaire que certaines races demandent. Douce, patiente et attentionnée, je m’adapte aux besoins et au rythme de chaque animal, qu’il ait besoin de médicaments, de soins particuliers ou simplement de beaucoup d’affection. Mon objectif : que votre compagnon se sente en sécurité, aimé et traité comme un vrai petit prince ou une vraie petite princesse! ❤️ Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember : dogs (small and bigger ones!), cats, and everything in between. I recently said goodbye to my beloved Sphynx, who had several special needs, and caring for him taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, and understanding each animal’s unique needs. I’m naturally gentle, affectionate, and attentive, and I truly believe animals deserve to feel safe, loved, and respected. I have hands-on experience caring for special-needs cats and dogs, and I’m comfortable with animals who need a little extra patience, medication, routine, or reassurance. ❤️ Because of health issues, I am currently unemployed. So, I have a lot of free time and my schedule is very flexible. I'm available weekdays and weekends! I would prefer to care for your pet in your own house, because I think it's the best way to reduce stress to the maximum for your animals.
About: Have extensive experience with raising cats and dogs, am comfortable in other peoples homes and keep it neat and tidy. I have raised a Boxer, helped train a golden doodle, cared for elderly greyhounds with hip problems, fostered a Mini Pincer with PTSD with aggression to other dogs. Among many others! I know how to speak to them in a serious tone, to correct them, and then immediately give them a way to repair. (Example, no pulling on the leash, NO! Sit down, give paw, Good dog! ) -This would obviously be tailored to each pet according to their needs and training level. I care for more than just their needs, I take an interest in their interests, and emotional wellbeing. I work from a distance, and make my own schedule therefore I am very flexible. I also have a place with a fenced in backyard for having animals visit my home as well. Consistency is everything with dogs! I am loving and firm. I get to know what is acceptable behavior of the animal according to their parents, and reinforce this training while they are away. If the dog needs cuddles, quiet and down time, then lets get some comfy blankets and cuddle up with a book! If they need to walk / run a lot we can go on urban hikes or to the dog park. If an animal is visiting my home I make sure its completely baby proofed, and owners re more than welcome to inspect my space in advance or on arrival! If they prefer to have a space to hide to feel safe I can create that under my bed or in a closet, with pleasure.
About: J'ai grandi entourée d'animaux et j'ai toujours eu à cœur de bien les traiter. Patient, attentif et fiable, j'aime créer une relation de confiance avec chaque animal et son propriétaire. Je m'adapte aux besoins spécifiques de chacun, qu'il s'agisse d'un chiot plein d'énergie ou d'un chat indépendant. Votre animal sera respecté, sécurisé et choyé comme s'il était le mien. Pour 68 $ par nuit, je vous offre un service complet de garde d’animaux directement à votre résidence. Votre animal reste dans son environnement habituel, ce qui réduit le stress et maintient sa routine. Je reste dormir sur place et assure une présence dans la maison, ce qui est également un avantage pour la sécurité de votre résidence et souvent recommandé par les assurances habitation lors d’une absence prolongée. Le service comprend : • Présence de nuit • Présence une bonne partie de la journée • Marche(s) quotidienne(s) • Nourriture et routine respectées • Maison maintenue propre • Plantes arrosées • Surveillance de la résidence • Photos et nouvelles sur demande Je suis un homme retraité, fiable et très présent, avec plus de 20 ans d’expérience avec les chiens (Golden Retriever, Berger Allemand, Yorkshire, etc.). Service idéal pour les chiens qui préfèrent rester à la maison plutôt qu’en pension. Je m’occupe des animaux de compagnie en respectant leur routine et leurs habitudes afin qu’ils se sentent en sécurité et en confiance pendant l’absence de leur propriétaire. Lors des gardes à domicile, je reste dormir sur place et je suis présent une grande partie de la journée. Je m’assure que l’animal reçoive toute l’attention nécessaire, des promenades quotidiennes, ses repas à l’heure habituelle et des moments de jeu et de détente. Je prends le temps d’observer le comportement de chaque animal afin de m’adapter à son tempérament, son niveau d’énergie et ses besoins particuliers. Certains chiens ont besoin de beaucoup d’exercice, d’autres surtout de présence et de calme. Je peux également donner de la médication si nécessaire, arroser les plantes, maintenir la maison propre et envoyer des nouvelles et des photos aux propriétaires pour les rassurer pendant leur absence. Mon objectif est que l’animal vive le moins de stress possible et que les propriétaires partent en voyage en toute tranquillité d’esprit.
“Amira was absolutely fantastic. Our moody chihuahua took to her right away and she did great giving our senior boxer all the meds he needed with a last minute injury. She kept him happy even when his activity was low. Pups loved her and can’t recommend her enough. Lovers of pictures and updates throughout our trip.”

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 :)

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Rawdon 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 Rawdon 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 Rawdon 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 Trust & Safety page.
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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
