“We had a great experience with Rebecca. She took wonderful care of Garou and Munchkin and kept us updated with pictures throughout the stay. What impressed us most was how she managed to connect with Munchkin — our cat is usually very shy with new people, but she warmed up to her quickly. That alone gave us huge peace of mind. Rebecca is attentive, reliable, and clearly loves animals. We’ll absolutely book her again.”
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.
About: J’ai toujours eu un grand amour pour les animaux, particulièrement les chiens. J’ai l’habitude de m’occuper d’eux au quotidien : promenades, jeux, alimentation et m’assurer qu’ils se sentent en sécurité et bien entourés. Je suis une personne responsable, attentive et patiente, et je comprends l’importance de respecter les habitudes et les besoins de chaque animal. Avec moi, votre chien recevra toute l’attention, l’affection et les soins nécessaires pendant votre absence. Je suis disponible pour m’occuper de vos animaux tous les jours de la semaine, avec des plages horaires flexibles selon vos besoins. Je peux faire des promenades matin, midi ou soir, ainsi que des visites à domicile pour nourrir, jouer et veiller au bien-être de vos compagnons. Pour toute demande particulière ou horaire personnalisé, n’hésitez pas à me contacter, je m’adapte volontiers pour le confort de votre animal. Chez nous, les animaux sont notre priorité. Nous avons une cour arrière sécurisée où ils peuvent jouer librement, et mes grandes filles adorent les animaux et participent aux soins et aux jeux. Chaque compagnon reçoit toute notre attention, notre affection et un environnement sûr et joyeux où il se sentira comme à la maison.
“Manon a pris grand soin de Boogie, elle lui a appris des nouveaux tours, a tenté d'améliorer sa réactivité et elle a joué avec lui. 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!”
About: I have always had animals in my life. Growing up I would help our neighbour when she was away check in on her cat and spend time with her dog! I am currently working as an Early Childhood Educator. I love the adventures I have durning the day but I also enjoy coming home and spending time with my animals. I am free before or after work to go for walks or check in on your animals. I am free on weekends for overnight stays. I would also make sure the client is update on how the animal is doing. Your pets safety and trust are my top properties. When I sit for your dog, I ensure that they’re not only cared for but that they feel secure, happy, and at ease while you're away. Here's how I create a safe and trusting environment for every dog in my care: Pet-Proofed Spaces: My home is carefully prepared to be a safe haven for your dog. I remove any hazards such as chemicals, small objects, and toxic plants that could pose a risk. All gates and doors are securely locked to prevent accidental escapes. Secured Outdoor Areas: If your dog enjoys time outside, I ensure that the yard is fenced and secure, with no gaps or potential escape routes. I supervise all outdoor activities to make sure your dog is safe and secure at all times. Emergency Preparedness: I have clear instructions for handling emergencies, including contact information for your vet, the nearest animal hospital, and your personal contact details, should anything unexpected arise. I stick to your dog’s established routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. Consistency helps minimize stress and makes your dog feel more at home in my care. Every dog is different. Some may need extra quiet time, while others thrive on play and activity. I respect their needs, ensuring that they feel secure and loved throughout the sitting experience.
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.

“Lorenço is the sitter you're looking for! He's been caring for my energetic 4-month-old terrier several days a week and has consistently been reliable, patient and understanding (especially during the ongoing puppy biting phase!) He adapts to Watson's needs and treats him like his own. I always know Watson is in great hands while I'm at work. I trust Lorenço completely and highly recommend him. 15/10!”

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