“Aijun took wonderful care of our home and pets. Our dog and cat absolutely loved her. The photos and videos she sent, showed how happy they were. She was very tidy and professional. We would love to have Aijun back!”

“Sofia stayed at our home for 10-days, looking after our dog (Toshi) and our cat (Gustav), while we were away for a wedding outside the country. Sofia was in communication with us and provided regular updates on the animals. Toshi and Gustav bonded nicely with Sofia and she took very good care of them. She followed our instructions on the feeding of the animals and letting Toshi out in the backyard as required. Sofia even made the effort to take Toshi out for walks but he is a big dog (127 lbs) and the winter weather was very harsh (-27 degrees centigrade temperatures) so this was not an easy task! We received regular updates and photos of our pets during this time away for us and she asked all relevant questions related to the functioning of the home. She even cleaned up the house before she left here. I would definitely recommend her to others who are looking for a trusted house sitter.”

About: Bonjour, je suis Andrès, passionné d’animaux depuis mon plus jeune âge. En venant ici, je souhaite apporter ma présence et mon plaisir dans la garde d’animaux. J’ai eu la chance de pouvoir exercer étant plus jeune, durant deux années à la SPA ( Spca) en France et j’ai régulièrement côtoyé et vécu auprès de chien, chats, etc .. Je sais m’adapter et analyser les situations avant d’agir. De plus, à titre personnel, ma passion pour la photographie animalière m’aura appris à mieux comprendre et mieux analyser les différents comportements que ce soit d’animaux domestiques ou sauvages. Cela m’a permis également de découvrir des chatons enfermés dans une boite en pleine forêt. Abandonnés à leur triste.. De là, j’ai appris à m’occuper de jeunes chatons durant plusieurs mois (vrai travail parental 😅)J’en ai actuellement 3 à la maison. Au delà de mon expérience, de mon regard envers eux et de l’amour que je leurs porte, je suis convaincu d’être l’ami de votre meilleur ami(e). ❤️ Concernant les disponibilités, je suis souvent disponible en journée, actuellement durant plusieurs semaines mais également les fins de semaines. Je suis très flexible et joignable rapidement. Généralement, j’apporte mon côté un peu joueur et câlins en fonction de l’animal présent en face de moi. Une fois le premier contact établi, j’installe une mise en confiance pour le reste de la garde. De plus, je prendrais toujours en considération les demandes des propriétaires en priorité. De ce fait, j’adapterais mon service en fonction des demandes.
“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!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Maude was absolutely wonderful. Our dog and cat took to her right away and they were well taken care of. We would definitely love to have Maude back again in the future.”

About: I am a huge animal lover and a Dog Whisperer as some of my friends call me. I have been a dog owner as long as I remember. I already have a furry kid Bella, who is very friendly with other dogs and loves play dates with her friends. I am used to dog walking and pet sitting for my family,friends and neighbors. When we moved from US, we had to face many issues in regards to Bellas transport and stay and I know the feeling when you are unable to give your fur kid the best of best while moving or when you are on a much needed vacation. I will always keep you updated with the photos of your pet having fun. I will be right here when you need someone to take care of your pet just as part of a family! Doggy Day Care - Saturday, Sunday and Holidays Doggy Boarding - Friday Evening after 5.30 to Sunday Night 8.00 Dog Walking - Saturday and Sunday Someone would always be with your pup during his/her stay at our place. Depending on the energy of the pup and weather, we will head out for multiple walks in the park or stay inside playing. We have a fenced backyard which would be accessible for play time. In case its snowing or raining hard, we prefer to stay inside and have fun playing with toys, balls and what not? 😊
“Viktoria was great! Our dog has separation anxiety, and being away from me is hard for him. Viktoria was patient and very understanding. Overall, really trustworthy experience, especially as it was our first time doing an in-home stay. Thanks again!”

About: 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'à garder (pitbull, Chihuahua, Husky, Berger allemand, Shitzu miniature, Beagle et Teckle). Je suis à l'aise à faire administrer des médicaments au besoin (à confirmer selon le type d'administration). Nous gérons notre horaire, donc nous avons une grande flexibilité. Nous sommes principalement nomades depuis notre retour d'un tour du monde qui a duré une année complète. Nous avons donc l'habitude de s'adapter aux imprévus. Nous faisons exclusivement de la garde chez les propriétaires. Aucune garde à notre domicile. Si vous avez des questions, n'hésitez pas à les poser et nous pourrons discuter de tout ce qui pourrait vous aider à faire un choix éclairé.

About: Je m’occupe de mes deux bassets à la maison, j’ai eu un élevage pendant deux ans où la femelle basset originaire de la Bretagne m’a fait une très belle portée dont les chiots étaient tous en santé. J’ai gardé le dernier chiot son nom est Rocky il est très gentil. Avec mes deux bassets, nous nous promenons deux fois par jour petite balade du matin et balade de l’après-midi on sort souvent pour des sorties d’une heure, dont le parc à chien où nous aimons vraiment beaucoup socialiser, et se défouler, nous aimons les autres amis, car nous sommes faits pour vivre en meute. Si je me déplace, j’effectue toujours une surveillance d’hygiène, nettoyage des pipis s’il y a lieu et remise en état de la pièce donner la nourriture, puis s’assurer qu’ils ont toujours de l’eau, jouer et aller dehors et faire les soins routine, lavage des oreilles, lavage des dents, lavage du poil, brosser le poil et s’assurer qu ils sont en pleine santé. Cela fait partie de ma routine avec mes deux chiens.
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 :)

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: J'ai travaillé au coeur d'un refuge animalier et d'organismes à but non lucratif ainsi qu'au besoin de l'entourage. J'étends maintenant mon aide ici en espérant faire des heureux :). J'enclenche de même très prochainement le départ d'études en toilettage pour chien et chat. Besoins particuliers, allergies, handicaps, seniors et bien plus, chacun de vos compagnons a droit au même niveau d'attention et d'amour (avec un faible pour nos seniors ;). Au plaisir de rencontrer vos toutous et matous et de vous donner un coup de patte! I worked with an animal shelter and multiple non-profit organizations as well as relatives & friends. I'm now extending my help here hoping to bring peace of mind to some in need of it :). I additionally am soon starting studies in dog & cat grooming. Specific & special needs, allergies, handicaps, seniors, and many more, each and every one of your companions are as worthy of our love and care (with a small bias for the seniors ;). I am looking forward to meeting your doggies and kitties and lend you a paw! Je considère retourner aux études mais en attente du début de celles-ci, j'ai un horaire pratiquement libre à temps plein en terme de choix sur la ou les journées désirées. Trouvons ensemble le moment idéal pour vos besoins! I am considering studying however still awaiting to start, I currently have almost full time availability in terms of selection of days. Let's try to make it happen within your needs shall we! Mes services se déroulent un à un avec votre ou vos animaux de compagnie. Je ne mixe pas plusieurs clients à moins d'en avoir la demande et ce seulement si les animaux se connaissent déjà sans problème. Pour ma sécurité et celle de tous les animaux sous ma garde, en contact avec l'équipement utilisé entre les différents ménages, je requiers une vaccination à jour, autant chez les chiens que les chats. Je lave mon équipement régulièrement mais je préfère largement prévenir que guérir <3. Une fiche avec les informations nécessaires en cas d'urgence me suit également. Le bien-être et la sécurité de vos compagnons est et sera toujours ma priorité #1. My services are always one on one with your pet(s). I do not mix clients unless specifically requested and solely if all animals previously met eachother without problems. For my own safety and the one of animals under my care coming in contact with equipment used between different homes, I require up to date vaccination for dogs and cats alike. I wash and clean my equipment regularly but I much rather be safe than sorry <3. A form with all necessary information in case of emergency follows me at all time as well. The welfare of your companion is and will always be my #1 priority.
About: I have had pets since childhood, I have had dogs, cats, ducks, sheep, parrots and I know how to take care of them well. Even now, I have two dogs, very active and healthy, who have been with me since they were two months old, one is 12 years old and the other is 9 years old Every day and every night on all days of the week on all official and unofficial holidays and weekends To walk, maintain and feed I'm ready Because I love animals and I have had many animals myself and I know how much animal owners depend on their animals and how important and serious it is for them to take care of them, so I will take care of them in the best possible way.

About: I grew up with 30+ bunnies in my backyard, and had 3 cats. My mom still has 2 rescued dogs and 4 rescued cats and 1 bird that i babysit sometimes while working from home. I currently live with my sister that has a small pugchi mix so i’m used to being the babysitter for her as well when she goes to work or on trips. I took care of 2 ex-boyfriend’s dogs that were a german shepherd and a golden retriever. I work from home 100% of the time (so I can stay for as long as needed and give your home and furry friends all the love and attention they deserve!) All i need is for you to have reliable Wi-Fi i can connect to in order to work. Im able to give your pet attention throughout the whole day and go for potty breaks when needed. Walks would be before work, during lunchbreak and after work. I speak FR and EN. I can give you updates and pictures as much as you need to feel like your baby is safe. I’m a very calm person and would be working on my computer wether it’s a weekday or weekend so your home is in good hands. I can also do a house clean for a fee if you’re interested.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities my whole life, and I’ve also helped care for pets through family, friends, and neighbors. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and giving dogs lots of affection and attention. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a student home from college, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I don’t have any major commitments right now besides pet care, so I’m able to give pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day while making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I always prioritize a pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I carefully follow owner instructions, keep a clean and calm environment, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m attentive to behavior changes, respectful of clients’ homes, and committed to making both pets and owners feel comfortable and secure.

“Lisette is a very vibrant and passionate sitter, and it really shows that she cares about what she does. Missy can be anxious when I leave and Lisette was gentle, attentive and affectionate with her, clearly took the time to make Missy feel comfortable and secure. I returned home to a calm and relaxed cat and a happy dog. I really appreciated the kindness she showed my pets and would gladly book with her again.”

“Caroline was wonderful with our Lena! Great communication, plenty of updates with photos and videos. Lena has separation anxiety and we saw over the short period of time she was with Caroline the photos went from faces of uncertainty to big smiles. Our house was left very clean and it was a great feeling to come home to. We will definitely book Caroline again!”

“It was our first time leaving our puppy, and we had a phenomenal experience with Esther. She sent tons of pictures and video updates throughout the evening, and was amazing at keeping our minds at ease. Would highly recommend Esther for all your puppy needs!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Richelieu
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,122 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Richelieu. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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, identity 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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
- 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
