About: Avez-vous un ami que vous retrouvez tout le temps avec votre chien lors d’un party? Et bien si oui, je vous annonce que je suis du même genre. J’ai grandit dans une maison avec des chiens depuis ma naissance. Je me suis donc occupé d’eux dans tout les stades de leurs vies. D’un chiot de 3 mois jusqu’à une chienne de 16 ans, je sais ce qu’il faut pour les rendre heureux et confortables. Depuis que j’ai 15 ans, mes parents me font confiance pour garder mes chiens lorsqu’ils partent en vacances. J’ai aussi fait la garde de plusieurs chiens voisinants. En plus de mon experience en gardiennage de chiens, je fais aussi du gardiennage d’enfants et je travaille dans un camp de jour depuis 6 ans. Je suis donc familier avec les attentes d’un parent lors d’un transfert parental que ce soit avec un enfant ou avec une bête poilue. Depuis le décès de ma chienne de 11 ans il y a quelques mois, je me suis fait la promesse de continuer de côtoyer des chiens régulièrement. J’entre aussi à l’université en automne et je doit travailler d’extra pour le financement de cette éducation. C’est pourquoi Rover est un parfait choix pour moi! Je travaille pendant les jours de semaine mais je suis disponible les fin de semaines et les soirs de semaines. Je suis très habitué d’avoir un horaire qui tombe sur les besoins d’un chien donc je suis extrêmement flexible avec mon horaire lorsque je ne travail pas. Je suis physique et j’aime les longues marches. J’ai aussi beaucoup d’énergie mais je sais me détendre donc je peux facilement m’adapter avec le tempérament d’un chien. Je suis extrêmement patient et je sais bien lire les chiens. Je suis aussi très respectueux de mon environnement donc si je passe chez vous lors de votre absence, je vais m’assurer que la maison sois dans le même état que vous l’avez laissé.
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: Hi! My name is Véronique, and I’m a true animal lover. I have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet while you’re away. I work primarily from home, which allows me to provide plenty of companionship, supervision, and individualized care throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I live in a quiet home in Saint-Lazare, surrounded by great walking trails and green spaces. To ensure every pet receives the attention they deserve, I only care for a small number of animals at a time. You’ll receive regular updates and photos during your pet’s stay, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in caring hands. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for as if they were part of my own family. ******* Bonjour! Je m’appelle Véronique et je suis une véritable passionnée des animaux.

“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.”
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!

“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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rigaud on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,066 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rigaud. 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 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.
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 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, 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.
