“Matt is an exceptional dog sitter. From the moment we met him, it was evident that he is a true animal lover and wants to provide the highest quality care. We booked Matt for in-home care for three days over Christmas for our challenging reactive rescue. From his consistent updates, it was easy to see that he was working to make sure our dog was exercised, safe, and loved. At the end of the stay, I realized I had given my dog the best Christmas present she could ever want- an exciting, yet relaxing, staycation. I recommend Matt for anyone looking for peace of mind while you're away, especially if you have a high energy dog. Thanks so much, Matt!”

About: Patient and caring dog walker and dog sitter with 10+ years of experience with various dog breeds (incl. large dogs). Eager to join Rover to take its furry clientele on long stress-relieving walks regardless of weather conditions. My love for animals is far out of this world! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have plenty of free time during the day and evenings. I lost my best friend to cancer two years ago when he was 14, and caring for him taught me just how special the bond with a pet can be. I truly love spending time with animals, whether that means taking them for walks, playing with them, or welcoming them into my home for boarding. I would be happy to make pet care a meaningful part of my routine and give each animal the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. I care for pets with patience, attention, and plenty of love. I follow their usual routines, provide fresh food and water, give them exercise and playtime, and keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable.

“I had Abigail watch my 65lb miniature Poodle & Bernese mix, in my home, for 6 days (during a heat wave in July). My fur child is 10 years old and quite particular with her diet, meal/snack time and frequency of leashed walks and backyard time. At our meet+greet, Abigail moved with confidence around my rambunctious dog which in turn calmed my dog down. I could tell she is an experienced and genuinely caring pet sitter. During my time away, Abigail kept me up to date on my dog’s wellbeing and was quick to respond to my messages. I came home to a happy, healthy dog and a clean house (just as I left it). I have no doubt that Abigail took the best care of my dog. I appreciate her professionalism and her natural inclination to put the pets in her care first. Thank you, Abigail!”

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.

“Kayla had excellent communication from start to finish even letting me know that she would be arriving a little early which for me is much appreciated. While I was away she sent pictures and answered my questions right away, again which is what I had requested. I arrived home to find my pets happy and content and my home in perfect condition, even cleaner than when I left. Thank you Kayla!!”

About: Having grown up with an English Springer Spaniel, I’ve had firsthand experience caring for dogs through every stage of life. In addition, I have many years of pet sitting and dog walking experience, working with energetic puppies as well as senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach. I tailor my care to meet each pet’s individual needs — and their owner’s preferences — ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved at all times. I’m comfortable with long walks, administering medication, reinforcing training, and providing consistent, reliable care. As a friendly and enthusiastic individual, I’ll always keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos for complete peace of mind. I look forward to getting to know your pet and supporting you in any way I can! I’m currently working M-F, with a few days from home, but am available in the evenings and at weekends. I am very flexible in days and times and can be available on short notice. I am an extremely clean and respectful individual and take extra care when pet sitting in someone’s home. Safety and comfort are extremely important to me, I want your pet to feel at home, relaxed and safe in their environment and I am happy providing any services that help them achieve this.

“Inci is awesome. She communicated before, during and after the visit, sent lots of pictures. My dog got lots of loving from Inci and her fiancé. My home Was left spotless. All the dishes were done and away, the linens were washed and folded. She even cleaned up what I refer to as “messy corner”(that place where I just drop stuff until I have a chance to organize it). We will definitely be using Inci again. Thank you Inci.”

About: I love all animals and practice a dedicated vegan lifestyle for the past 11 years. I have owned three dogs, one cat, four rabbits in my lifetime. Currently, in my home I have three caged free bunnies that don't mind sharing the home with another furry friend. I enjoy being outdoors and being active, so your pet will be well exercised if they like that. I work from home and can be with your pet all day. I also love cats and your cat will have sunny spots to lounge in the home. I will only board one animal at a time, so there will be no sharing of attention or spaces with other animals (except our bunnies). I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! I work from home five days a week. If needed, I can crate your pup if I step out, or at bedtime if that's the routine they follow I have a fenced yard for dogs that love to play outdoors, and when they need to go potty. I will pick up their business when outdoors whether in the bush or on a trail walk. I have a multi-level home with stairs and if your pup doesn't like stairs I can carry them to the level I am on, so they always feel like they are part of the action. they will still be a part of the livelihood of my home. My home is well kept with no dangerous chemicals, and is a meat-free home as well (so no raw meat for dinner please).

About: I grew up with tons of different pets in the house; from puppies to Guinea pigs and everything in between. I genuinely love spending my time with animals. Whether that be on a long sunny morning walk or cuddling on the couch with a good book in hand. I work fully remotely so my schedule is flexible. I have my own dog and she enjoys frequent sniffs outside and lots of cuddles, so I’m used to taking breaks. I have a lovely, friendly Pomeranian of my own who shares my home with me. I live near lots of walking trails and live a quiet, peaceful life.

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint-André-Avellin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 106 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint-André-Avellin. 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 Saint-André-Avellin 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 Saint-André-Avellin 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 Saint-André-Avellin 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
