“Aijun took great care of our three cats for three nights. It was the first time I left my cats alone, so I was a bit stressed. However, during the meet-and-greet session, Aijun was very reassuring, and I felt confident leaving my cats in her care. She paid attention to every detail, providing them with everything they needed: fresh water, food, a clean litter box, plenty of playtime, and cuddles. She sent me videos and photos regularly and promptly answered all my questions. All three of my cats love her so much. I’m very happy with everything she did and will definitely ask for her help next time.”

“Emy s’est occupée de mes «deux petites filles poilues» durant 10 jours à la maison chez moi. Deux teckels anxieuses et pas facile à garder. Elle a été super, j’ai reçu des photos et vidéo régulièrement ça m’a permis de passer des vacances sans inquiétude. Je la recommande sans hésitation.”

About: Ayant moi-même un pomsky avec beaucoup d’énergie, j’adore marcher avec elle plusieurs fois par jour. Je garde souvent les chiens de mes amis, et j’adore les chiens et la nature. J’ai un horaire flexible alors il me ferait plaisir d’aller faire marcher votre chien, avec ou sans mon chien dépendamment de ce que vous préférez :) Je peux venir à votre domicile pour venir promener votre chien, et même l’amener à la montagne si vous voulez. Nous pouvons se rencontrer au préalable pour planifier le tout :)

“We had a fantastic experience with Valentina! She took such great care of our pets—lots of playtime, attention, and love. It was clear they were comfortable and happy with her. She also went above and beyond around the house, keeping everything tidy and even helping out with our backyard plants. Valentina kept us updated throughout our trip with regular pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind about both the pets and the house. Highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”

About: Ayant des animaux depuis toute jeune, je comprends très bien la complexité de les faire garder ou bien d'avoir quelqu'un pour s'occuper d'eux (surtout avec la vie, le travail, les enfants etc !). Je considère avoir de très bonnes bases en comportement canin, obéissance, soins de base pour chats, chiens, oiseaux, poissons. J'ai également eu des animaux avec certaines complexités médicales alors sachez que je suis à l'aise avec vos poilus avec besoins particuliers. Mon entourage sait à quel point j'aime mes animaux et ceux de mes proches. J'ai aidé plusieurs personnes près de moi avec leurs animaux et j'ai donc décidé d'offrir ce service via Rover puisque moi-même j'ai eu besoin de ce service et j'ai adoré le fonctionnement. J'ai la chance d'avoir un emploi en mode hybride donc flexibilité, stabilité et présence (surtout pour nos amis anxieux!) c'est ce que j'offre pour la garde. Pour les visites ponctuelles, je peux organiser mon horaire afin de venir faire des visites à votre domicile selon la distance. Ici nous avons une grande cours clôturée donc les chiens peuvent également courir et s'amuser en liberté. Nous avons une superbe piste cyclable à proximité ainsi que des parcs à chiens si c'est ce dont votre animal a besoin. Pour vos chats, le chien et les chats ici sont à l'aise avec des amis et dans le cas où votre animal est plutôt réservé il y a définitivement moyen de lui donner son espace. Pour les visites ponctuelles ou les garde à votre domicile, vos règles sont les miennes ! Votre chien a besoin de se faire chanter une chanson en faisant 2 tours sur moi-même pour qu'il mange ? Je suis partante. Votre chat a besoin de son mantra quotidien pour être heureux? Je suis partante. Aucun paramètre autour du bien-être d'un animal n'est farfelu pour moi 🐕 N'hésitez pas à m'écrire pour avoir plus d'infos. Il me fera plaisir de discuter avec vous!

About: I've always had pets at home growing up such as dogs, cats and even reptiles ! I also have experience caring for fishes, rabbits, chickens and pigs. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pets in someone else's care, which is why I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am more than happy to follow your pet's routine, and will make sure you receive regular updates while you're away ! I look forward meeting you and your pets ! Français / English I am currently in school, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available during weekdays and weekends and can adapt easily to your pet’s routine and specific needs. I have both a cat and a dog at home, so my space is fully equipped with a variety of toys and enrichment items. I carefully supervise all interactions between animals to ensure everyone’s safety. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and for added security, I have a securely fenced yard to provide a safe environment during outdoor time.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’m now a Shiba Inu dog mom and I’ve raised since he was a puppy so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. Having him has taught me a lot about patience, routines, and how different every dog’s personality can be. I also have experience caring for cats and really enjoy getting to know each pet and what makes them feel comfortable. Whether that means going for walks, playing, keeping them company, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I try to make things feel as normal as possible while their family is away. I’m also a certified dog groomer, which has given me even more hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. I currently offer house sitting and pet sitting in your home, so I can keep your pets comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. My schedule can be flexible depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, playtime, sleep, and care schedule while you’re away. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to follow the routine and instructions their family provides. I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything else related to their safety. I also respect your home and will make sure your pet receives plenty of supervision, affection, playtime, walks, and quiet time depending on their personality and needs. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you know how they’re doing.

“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 have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats through long-term house sitting as well as throughout my personal life. Over the years, friends, family, and homeowners have trusted me to care for their pets while they traveled, including extended stays in Australia, New York, and Las Vegas. In Australia, I cared for a Poodle and a cat for one month while staying in the owners’ home. In New York, I looked after a Dogo Argentino for one month. In Las Vegas, I completed two additional long-term house sits: one for a month with a Chihuahua and a large Golden Retriever, and another for four weeks caring for two medium-sized dogs—a mixed breed and a Poodle. Beyond house sitting, I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. I grew up with breeds of all sizes, from Weimaraner's to Poodles, and have also cared for Cocker Spaniels, Schnauzers, and many mixed breeds. Friends, family, and roommates regularly trusted me to care for their dogs while they were away, often for a week or longer. I’ve also fostered rescue dogs until they found loving permanent homes. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality and routine, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being while keeping owners updated throughout their stay. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention throughout the day. I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine, whether they need walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or simply companionship. I’m available on weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays with advance notice. I live in a spacious 5½ apartment that provides a quiet, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment. One of the bedrooms is rarely used, giving pets extra space to relax if they prefer a quieter area. The apartment has built-in air conditioning to keep pets comfortable year-round, as well as a large private back terrace where they can safely enjoy fresh air and sunshine between potty breaks. I’m just a 3-minute walk from Parc La Fontaine, making it easy to provide regular walks, exercise, and plenty of outdoors. I always follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay.

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. I carefully follow all instructions provided regarding feeding, medications, walks, litter box care, and playtime. I always approach pets calmly and patiently, paying close attention to their body language and individual needs. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection based on what they’re comfortable with. With my experience working in animal hospitals and pet care settings, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, including shy, senior, or nervous animals, and administering medications when needed. I also respect your home by keeping things clean and secure, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for.

About: I cared for my own dog that was a sheltie for almost 14 years before he passed away a few months ago, which taught me how special the bond between people and dogs can be. I also worked at Pet Gourmet in Colombia , a dog bakery, where I spent time around dogs every day and learned more about their needs and personalities. I truly believe dogs are the most loyal companions, and I would love to care for your dog with the same attention and kindness I gave my own. I’m currently working part-time , and I study at Concordia University a bachelor in French studies with a minor in Spanish translation , I have flexible time to take care of dogs and give them all the love they deserved I would prefer to go to the owners house to take care of their pet , I would like to take the dog for a walk so he can be used to his environment, give him food and take care of him.

Manon a aussi administré les médicaments et a fait vivre des belles nouvelles expériences à Boogie. Dès qu'on la rencontre, on voit qu'elle a le tour avec les chiens et qu'elle les adore ! Nous avons reçu des nouvelles et des photos pendant notre voyage ce qui a été très apprécié. J'ai été en confiance avec Manon, elle est d'une spontanéité accueillante et déborde d'énergie. Et elle est aussi très respectueuse de la maison, à notre retour c'était impeccable! Merci Manon!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Richelieu

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,127 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Richelieu. About 85% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Richelieu 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 Richelieu 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 Richelieu 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.
