House Sitting in Rigaud

About: My goal for when taking care of others animals is to make sure they’re comfortable and feel like they’re part of the family while their family is away. I’ve been surrounded by dogs and animals my entire life. Ive had many dogs as well and trained them myself. I’m now a certified trainer as I love the challenge it brings. If there is another animal such as, bunnies, rats, lizards, ferrets, etc… I’ve taken care of them all and more! Provide me with the info as to what animal needs to be cared for and I’m sure I can take them in. ***( All animals I have at home are use to different types of animals. You can rest easy knowing they will not be bothered by my animals if they’re not use to them)*** Je parle aussi français For the most part I’m at home Monday through Sunday. Friday, Saturday & Sunday I’m out for three hours in the morning working. Potty breaks are always available:) I have a puppy and a cat. Treats and love are always available. If there are any food allergies I’m use to this, it’s not a problem. If they need a bath I’m happy to do so ☺️ I make homemade treats but I always ask when I meet with you if they can have them.

About: Cats are more my specialty as I've had them in my life since I was 8 years old, but I also have experience with dogs through dog sitting and walking services. I am currently studying part-time so my availability is quite free and open to petsit, walk, and play with your beloved cat or dog weekly! I live in an apartment without a backyard and have 2 cats who are not the mostly friendly to cats or dogs, so I do not offer boarding or daycare services.

About: Me and my partner Maude have a lovely 2 year old rescue dog. Her name is Jane and she is a wonderful dog! I would love for her to make friends with your dog. Before that my family had an american eskimo whose name was Chinook while growing up and currently have a bichin shih tzu named Zooey. I have taken care of lots of friends dogs over the years from just taking them out for a mid day walk to boarding them at our place for weeks. I also grew up always having cats! I love animals and although I have lots to learn I will treat your pet with respect and be on time and organized to have build successful relationships with them! Im currently working for McGill experimental seed farm. This creates for my schedule to be very flexible and I am home lots during the nights and weekends to respond to any pet needs! I care for pets in my home with love and care. We have a homd with a fenced in green space that we use for our dog. We would only be able to board 1 dog at a time (unless for some circumstances). We are located close to lots of green space and hikes in Rigaud so lots of walks would happen! How I would care for pets at clients homes is really up to them. I do not want to disrupt routines that the pet has become accustom to and can adapt to any environment and client need. This also transfers over to my home, and if certain rules need to be followed to not bring back bad behaviour, thay can easily be done!

“I am so happy I found Natalia. I came home to happy and calm cats. I have very spoiled and shy cats and she was able to get comfortable with them. I will definitely be calling Natalia again. Thank you so much from Jack and Daniel.”

“Megan was an amazing cat sitter during our long trip (30 days+). She took great care of our two cats, and provided updates with pictures. One of our cats had a new medical condition develop during the trip and she promptly noticed, let us know and took him to the veterinary to address the issue. She was extremely present and responsive during this stressful time. We appreciate her work so much and would recommend her to anyone! Thank you Megan, we will never forget your help during our time away.”

About: Many years experience in volunteering at shelters with dogs, cats, ferrets, hamsters and rats. Have had pets my entire life, I can`t see myself without one. I`m currently working full time but schedule will be going to part time by January. I`m looking to doing more of what I love, which is spending time with cats and dogs. I have an outdoor catio if you cat ever wishes to step outside. I also have two extra rooms in the house if a pet needs its own space.

About: I am used to take care of dogs since I was a child. My family and friends let me in charge of them everytime they need. I have taking care of all kind of breeds in Colombia and Canada. I work from home with a flexible schedule that allows me to take them outside several times a day. I will be capable to stay next to them the whole time assuring they play and walk as they pleased or need. We don't have any pets at the moment, all our love will be just for yours. They always have a comfortable space to lay down and rest as they need. I live in a big open space that allow me to watch them with care. I am used to take care of pets and babies, always been aware of the silent and mysterious moments (lol)

“Emily and Nicholas were amazing taking care of our 3 cats and home for 2 weeks. Cats were super happy and we came home to a sparkling clean home. Will definitely book them again”

“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.

“If you want a sweet, reliable, kind, responsible sitter…Celia is your gal. I will use her services again! 😊”

About: Étant une amoureuse des animaux et grande voyageuse, j'adore venir à la rencontre de vos petits amours et explorer avec eux le temps de quelques jours, quelques semaines. Lorsqu'ils sont câlins, j'aime me lover avec eux et apprendre à mieux se connaître au travers le jeu, la relaxation, la douceur. Lorsque les maîtres sont ouverts à cela, j'envoie régulièrement des photos pour partager ces précieux moments avec leurs chéris. Consciencieuse, préférant des lieux épurés et propres, je m'assure de respecter l'intimité des hôtes, de prendre soin des plantes et des équipements, et je laisse toujours l'endroit impeccable à mon départ. Il y a plus de dix ans, j'ai décidé d'être home-sitter pour plusieurs raisons, dont celle de permettre aux animaux de rester autant que possible dans leur routine, sans devoir quitter leur maison pour se faire garder. Déjà que leurs maîtres ne sont pas à leurs côtés quelques temps, je m'assure qu'ils puissent jouir de leurs petites habitudes. J'ai d'ailleurs créé un document dans lequel vous pouvez inscrire ce qui est apprécié, préférable, proscrit, etc... Il me fera plaisir de discuter avec vous, et de venir vous rencontrer. Une belle connexion avec vos chéris, et avec vous également, est très importante afin de vivre une expérience agréable pour nous tous 😊 Je travaille à partir de mon ordinateur la plupart du temps, donc je suis très présente avec les animaux lors de mon séjour. Il m'arrive de quitter les lieux en journée pour offrir des ateliers dans la région où je me dépose. L'un de mes projets est via l'entité que j'ai mise au monde "L'Exploratrice", où je crée dans la joie avec les dames de 60 ans et plus, mettant en place des Ateliers Créatifs et des Retraites Inspirantes. Bien entendu, je n'offre pas de retraite de plusieurs jours lorsque je suis en home-sitting, mais les ateliers, qui durent environ 3 à 4 heures, se proposent bien dans les villages voisins du lieu où je suis. Chaque animal a ses habitudes et ses préférences. Lorsque j'arrive sur place, j'aime prendre le temps de connecter avec mon ou mes nouveaux copains de séjour. On s'apprivoise. Et ensuite, nous nous adaptons l'un à l'autre au fil des heures, et des jours. Le document que j'ai créé auquel les hôtes peuvent répondre, en tout ou en partie, permet également de mieux connaître leurs chéris. Aussi, je m'assure de bien lire les descriptions faites sur ce site, à leur attention. Il est primordial pour moi que les animaux soient heureux, ce qui me permet également de l'être. Si des difficultés surviennent, je m'assure de communiquer cela avec les maîtres, ou avec les personnes de référence qu'on me laisse en mémo.

“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.”

“Daniella was amazing! She took Louie to get a pupsicle and stayed at our house for the day. Louie had a great time with her and she definitely tuckered him out. Would have her watch him again in a heartbeat. Very nice person as well :)”

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!)
