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.
“Emily et Nicholas ont été des gardiens absolument remarquables. Ils se sont occupés de mes animaux avec beaucoup d’attention, y compris de mon jeune chien de grande taille qui demande des sorties régulières et une bonne dose d’énergie. Tout s’est déroulé à merveille : ils ont su gérer son rythme, ses besoins et lui offrir une présence rassurante. En plus de cela, ma maison était impeccable à mon retour. Ils ont fait preuve de sérieux, de respect et d’un grand sens des responsabilités. Je me suis sentie en totale confiance du début à la fin. Je les recommande sans hésitation à quiconque cherche des gardiens fiables, attentionnés et professionnels.”
“Natalie was just amazing to book with. Punctual, polite, and has amazing energy! She took care of our 3 dogs with care and love and I have absolutely nothing negative to say. Sending pictures constantly and keeping us updated throughout the days. Would highly recommend Natalie for anyone who wants a stress free animal sitter!”
“Aniruth is a good sitter. he cared for Sherloque for the entire day and took him for a walk. He did everything that he promised and what a good sitter should do. I highly recommend Aniruth”
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!
“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.”

“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.

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.
“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.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Rigaud
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.

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.
