About: Hi! I’m Yam — an animal lover with a lifelong passion for pets. I’ve been a proud dog owner for as long as I can remember, and I currently share my life with a sweet 14-year-old Siberian Husky. Over the years, I’ve looked after the pets of friends and family, which inspired me to start pet sitting and dog walking professionally. I absolutely love spending time with animals—it’s what brings me joy! I currently offer: • 30-minute walks. • 30-minute personalized visits. I’m flexible and happy to work with your scheduling needs—especially if you have a pet with specific routines or time-sensitive care. Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority. I follow your routines closely to make the environment as familiar and stress-free as possible. I pay close attention to habits, triggers (like loud noises or other animals), and any health concerns. If I notice something unusual, I’ll let you know right away. And if you’d like updates while you’re away, I’m always happy to send photos or messages.

Je suis une passionnée des animaux et j'aime en prendre soin. Je sais comme il peut être difficile de trouver une personne de confiance à qui confier nos petits amours (sans devoir se priver de voyager/faire des activités à l'extérieur/ou même travailler), c'est pourquoi j'ai décidé d'offrir mes services. Mon expérience: -J'ai travaillé à la SPCA de Montréal durant 3 ans comme agente de protection animale. J'appliquais la loi Fédérale et Provinciale concernant le bien-être des animaux. -Propriétaire de chiens/chats et autres petits animaux depuis mon tout jeune âge. J'ai présentement un chien rescue du nom de Simba et une chatte du nom de Stella. Secteurs désservis: Je suis située à Repentigny et j’offre mes services dans un rayon de 15 km autour de mon domicile. Je me déplace également dans les villes avoisinantes, notamment L’Assomption, Saint-Sulpice, Charlemagne et Lachenaie. Pour les déplacements au-delà de ce rayon, c’est tout à fait possible moyennant des frais supplémentaires. Nous pouvons en discuter! *Les tarifs pour la visite à domicile sont établis pour la prise en charge de deux animaux. Des frais supplémentaires s’appliqueront pour chaque animal additionnel.* Au plaisir! -Lawrence Je travail 4 jours/semaine donc je suis disponible durant la semaine le matin avant 7h30 ou après 16h et disponible en tout temps la fin de semaine. Je vous donne un compte rendu suite à chaque visite et au besoin, avec des photos/vidéos de vos animaux. Je suis une personne fiable et de confiance, j'ai de bonnes références.

“Camille est ma nouvelle gardienne Rover pour toujours. Mes chats qui n'ont pas l'habitude de venir voir nos invités on été tellement à l'aise avec Camille qu'ils l'attendait à la porte pour des câlins. Les photos était exceptionnel ainsi que la communication. On avait plus de craintes être en vacances 2 semaines sachant que nos bébés était en bonnes mains. Elle va aussi être la gardienne pour notre chien à nouveau car il va être en famille avec elle. Camille est une gardienne exceptionnelle qui prend soin de ton bébé comme le sien - elle à une vrai aptitude pour les animaux.”

About: J'ai des animaux depuis que je suis très jeunes et j'ai toujours participer à en prendre soin. J'ai présentement deux chats de 1 et 15 ans en bonne santé et que j'adore. J'aimerais vraiment avoir un chien et je m'ennuie d'en avoir un dans ma vie, mais je n'ai pas l'espace pour en adopter un en ce moment. J'adore aussi tous les animaux en général et j'aime en rencontrer de nouveaux. Ce sont des raisons qui me pousse à vouloir offrir mes services pour la garde des vôtres. Par le passé, j'ai déjà gardé un chat pendant 2 semaines qui venait d'avoir une énucléation (chirurgie pour enlever son œil) à la suite d'une infection, impliquant de lui donner des médicaments (liquides) 2 fois par jour et des gouttes pour son deuxième œil 5-6 fois par jour. J'ai aussi régulièrement gardé le chien chez ma mère pour des périodes d'environ une semaine, incluant en fin de vie alors qu'il nécessitait des médicaments (pilules) 2 fois par jour. Je suis donc généralement à l'aise de donner la médication selon vos indications. Je travaille à temps plein, mais mon horaire est assez flexible pour m'adapter à vos besoins. Je travaille en mode hybride et je dois me rendre au bureau 2 jours par semaine, mais je suis autrement en télétravail et je peux être présente et m'occuper de vos animaux sans problème pendant ce temps. Sinon je n'ai habituellement pas de restrictions le soir ou la fin de semaine. Pour la garde à domicile, je vais nourrir vos animaux, changer leur eau à tous les jours, donner la médication au besoin (selon vos indications), faire la litière des chats/sortir les chiens. Pour ces derniers, je peux offrir 1-2 marches par jours selon les habitudes de l'animal. Je pourrais aussi évidemment jouer avec eux et leur donner de l'amour. Je suis aussi ouverte à faire certains entraînements selon vos indications au besoin (à discuter).

About: A lifelong pet parent, I've been caring for dogs, cats, and birds for over 25 years. I have a large home with a fenced backyard, which backs onto a forest for the best walks. I have a dedicated area for pet care and am fully equipped with grooming equipment if needed. I'm equally comfortable with dogs and cats, and have cared for animals at all stages of their lives, from puppy/kitten days all the way to old age. My eldest pug lived to be 19! I work from home as a freelancer and I make my own schedule. This gives me plenty of time to spend with your pet. My daily routine involves an early start around 6am, breakfast for the pets and the kids before the morning school dropoff, and two daily walks around the neighborhood. Your pet is welcome to join me on the walks, or cuddle up in my lap at home. I'll love them like my own! I am pleased to adapt to your pet's needs. My home has a separate area dedicated to pet sitting for pets who are more shy or like their own space. My cat is quite friendly and has experience with other cats and dogs. My backyard is fenced and secure. Typically I have pets enter through the dedicated side entrance to acclimatize to the environment before introducing them to the main part of the house. This ensures that your little one feels safe and confident in their temporary home with my family.

About: Je me distingue par mon approche calme, attentive et fiable. J'aime prendre le temps d'observer chaque chien afin de comprendre son tempérament, son niveau d'énergie et ses habitudes pour lui offrir des soins adaptés. Je respecte toujours les consignes des propriétaires, qu'il s'agisse des horaires, des routines, de l'alimentation ou des préférences de leur compagnon. Je crois qu'une bonne communication est essentielle, c'est pourquoi j'envoie régulièrement des nouvelles et des photos pour que les propriétaires aient l'esprit tranquille. Ayant un mode de vie actif, je suis à l'aise avec les promenades, les jeux et les activités qui permettent aux chiens de dépenser leur énergie tout en restant en sécurité. Je continue également à développer mes connaissances sur le comportement canin afin d'offrir une expérience positive autant pour les chiens que pour leurs propriétaires. Je travaille de la maison, ce qui me permet d'offrir une présence régulière et de la compagnie aux chiens tout au long de la journée. Cette flexibilité est un grand avantage pour les animaux qui apprécient une présence humaine et des sorties adaptées à leur rythme. Je suis également disponible les soirs, les fins de semaine et certains jours fériés. Afin d'offrir un service de qualité, je limite volontairement le nombre de réservations que j'accepte. La sécurité et le bien-être de votre compagnon sont toujours ma priorité. Je prends le temps de me familiariser avec ses habitudes, son niveau d'énergie et vos consignes avant chaque service. Lors des promenades, je demeure attentif à l'environnement, j'évite les situations à risque et je respecte le rythme de votre chien. Si je me rends à votre domicile, je veille à respecter votre espace tout en maintenant la routine de votre animal afin qu'il se sente en confiance. Je communique régulièrement avec les propriétaires en envoyant des nouvelles et des photos pour qu'ils puissent partir l'esprit tranquille.

About: I've grown up around animals my whole life — German Shepherds, an English Staffy, and cats over the years. Right now I have a 10-month-old kitten of my own, so I know the energy (and mischief) young pets bring. I work from home, which means your pet is never left alone during the day. I'm in an apartment with a large grassy area and parks nearby for dog walks, and I'm fully set up for cats. My two kids (3 and 6) are gentle and great with animals. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than around it. I'm here for feeding, walks, play, and check-ins throughout the day and evening, with flexibility on timing. Weekends are open too, and pets are never left alone for long stretches. In my home, pets stay in a calm apartment with a large grassy area and nearby parks for walks. I keep cats and dogs comfortable, watch feeding and litter or bathroom routines, and make sure everyone has their own space. Because I work from home, I can spot anything off early. In a client's home, I follow your routines closely and keep your space exactly as you left it.

About: I have been around and taken care of many family and friends pets, on occasion, throughout my life. I just recently officially introduced myself to the pet owner life. No matter the personality or energy level of your pet I am ready to be there and take care. I mainly work as an actor. This means that most of the time I have off unless I have a role. Due to the fact that my availability is completely open most of time and I am not fixed to a weekly schedule, I am able to offer my services any time. Even last minute. The owner would be fully aware of anything I can/will do. I am there to not only take care of your pet but also your home.

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 truly love animals and have always had a strong connection with them. I used to have two small dogs — one of them was a Cocker Spaniel who sadly passed away a few years ago, after months of effort and care to try to save him. I still have another little boy, but he’s far from me right now and I miss him deeply. Taking care of your pet would mean a lot to me — I’ll give them the same love, affection, and gentle care I gave my own. I’ll treat your furry friend like one of my own little companions. i have available time and i’m free in weekends i hope you trust me. Cuddle them and provide their meals with care. i love pets I’ll try to become their friend, pet them to ease their loneliness, make sure they eat properly, and play with them a lot.thanks for your trust

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:

  • Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
  • House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
  • Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.

Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.

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 Repentigny 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!

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.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.
