About: ENGLISH: I have been caring for animals since I was 6 years old and have experience with a variety of pets. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each animal’s needs. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning, and providing companionship, and I always strive to ensure pets are safe, healthy, and well cared for while in my care. FRANÇAIS: Je m’occupe d’animaux depuis l’âge de 6 ans et j’ai de l’expérience avec une variété d’animaux de compagnie. Je suis une personne responsable, patiente et attentive aux besoins de chaque animal. Je suis à l’aise avec des tâches comme nourrir, promener, nettoyer et offrir de la compagnie aux animaux. Mon objectif est toujours de m’assurer que chaque animal est en sécurité, heureux et bien pris en charge pendant qu’il est sous mes soins. ENGLISH: I have very flexible schedule and am available nearly every day, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I often accept bookings on short notice and will contact you if anything. FRANÇAIS: J’ai un horaire très flexible et je suis disponible presque tous les jours, y compris les jours de semaine, les fins de semaine et les jours fériés. J’accepte souvent les réservations de dernière minute et je vous contacterai si quelque chose change dans mon horaire. ENGLISH: Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. I always follow the owner's instructions carefully, keep a close eye on pets during walks and visits, and make sure they are in a safe, secure environment. I also believe in clear communication and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely spend time outside under supervision, as well as air conditioning to keep pets comfortable during warmer weather. There are no other animals in my home, creating a calm and quiet environment where your pet can receive my full attention and care. FRANÇAIS: La sécurité et le confort de votre animal sont toujours mes priorités. Je prends le temps d’apprendre à connaître la routine, la personnalité et les besoins particuliers de chaque animal. Je suis toujours attentif aux consignes des propriétaires, je surveille attentivement les animaux pendant les promenades et les visites, et je m’assure qu’ils restent dans un environnement sécuritaire et adapté. Je crois également à l’importance d’une bonne communication et je vous tiendrai au courant avec des messages et des photos afin que vous puissiez avoir l’esprit tranquille pendant votre absence. J’ai une cour entièrement clôturée où les chiens peuvent passer du temps à l’extérieur en toute sécurité sous surveillance, ainsi que la climatisation pour assurer leur confort pendant les périodes de chaleur. Il n’y a aucun autre animal dans ma maison, ce qui crée un environnement calme et paisible où votre animal pourra recevoir toute mon attention et mes soins.

“Emy s’est occupée de mes «deux petites filles poilues» durant 10 jours à la maison chez moi. Deux teckels anxieuses et pas facile à garder. Elle a été super, j’ai reçu des photos et vidéo régulièrement ça m’a permis de passer des vacances sans inquiétude. Je la recommande sans hésitation.”

About: I am a huge animal lover and a Dog Whisperer as some of my friends call me. I have been a dog owner as long as I remember. I already have a furry kid Bella, who is very friendly with other dogs and loves play dates with her friends. I am used to dog walking and pet sitting for my family,friends and neighbors. When we moved from US, we had to face many issues in regards to Bellas transport and stay and I know the feeling when you are unable to give your fur kid the best of best while moving or when you are on a much needed vacation. I will always keep you updated with the photos of your pet having fun. I will be right here when you need someone to take care of your pet just as part of a family! Doggy Day Care - Saturday, Sunday and Holidays Doggy Boarding - Friday Evening after 5.30 to Sunday Night 8.00 Dog Walking - Saturday and Sunday Someone would always be with your pup during his/her stay at our place. Depending on the energy of the pup and weather, we will head out for multiple walks in the park or stay inside playing. We have a fenced backyard which would be accessible for play time. In case its snowing or raining hard, we prefer to stay inside and have fun playing with toys, balls and what not? 😊

About: Ayant des animaux depuis toute jeune, je comprends très bien la complexité de les faire garder ou bien d'avoir quelqu'un pour s'occuper d'eux (surtout avec la vie, le travail, les enfants etc !). Je considère avoir de très bonnes bases en comportement canin, obéissance, soins de base pour chats, chiens, oiseaux, poissons. J'ai également eu des animaux avec certaines complexités médicales alors sachez que je suis à l'aise avec vos poilus avec besoins particuliers. Mon entourage sait à quel point j'aime mes animaux et ceux de mes proches. J'ai aidé plusieurs personnes près de moi avec leurs animaux et j'ai donc décidé d'offrir ce service via Rover puisque moi-même j'ai eu besoin de ce service et j'ai adoré le fonctionnement. J'ai la chance d'avoir un emploi en mode hybride donc flexibilité, stabilité et présence (surtout pour nos amis anxieux!) c'est ce que j'offre pour la garde. Pour les visites ponctuelles, je peux organiser mon horaire afin de venir faire des visites à votre domicile selon la distance. Ici nous avons une grande cours clôturée donc les chiens peuvent également courir et s'amuser en liberté. Nous avons une superbe piste cyclable à proximité ainsi que des parcs à chiens si c'est ce dont votre animal a besoin. Pour vos chats, le chien et les chats ici sont à l'aise avec des amis et dans le cas où votre animal est plutôt réservé il y a définitivement moyen de lui donner son espace. Pour les visites ponctuelles ou les garde à votre domicile, vos règles sont les miennes ! Votre chien a besoin de se faire chanter une chanson en faisant 2 tours sur moi-même pour qu'il mange ? Je suis partante. Votre chat a besoin de son mantra quotidien pour être heureux? Je suis partante. Aucun paramètre autour du bien-être d'un animal n'est farfelu pour moi 🐕 N'hésitez pas à m'écrire pour avoir plus d'infos. Il me fera plaisir de discuter avec vous!

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats through long-term house sitting as well as throughout my personal life. Over the years, friends, family, and homeowners have trusted me to care for their pets while they traveled, including extended stays in Australia, New York, and Las Vegas. In Australia, I cared for a Poodle and a cat for one month while staying in the owners’ home. In New York, I looked after a Dogo Argentino for one month. In Las Vegas, I completed two additional long-term house sits: one for a month with a Chihuahua and a large Golden Retriever, and another for four weeks caring for two medium-sized dogs—a mixed breed and a Poodle. Beyond house sitting, I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. I grew up with breeds of all sizes, from Weimaraner's to Poodles, and have also cared for Cocker Spaniels, Schnauzers, and many mixed breeds. Friends, family, and roommates regularly trusted me to care for their dogs while they were away, often for a week or longer. I’ve also fostered rescue dogs until they found loving permanent homes. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality and routine, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being while keeping owners updated throughout their stay. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention throughout the day. I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine, whether they need walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or simply companionship. I’m available on weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays with advance notice. I live in a spacious 5½ apartment that provides a quiet, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment. One of the bedrooms is rarely used, giving pets extra space to relax if they prefer a quieter area. The apartment has built-in air conditioning to keep pets comfortable year-round, as well as a large private back terrace where they can safely enjoy fresh air and sunshine between potty breaks. I’m just a 3-minute walk from Parc La Fontaine, making it easy to provide regular walks, exercise, and plenty of outdoors. I always follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay.

“Marie-Hélène is definitely someone we can trust! Our dog absolutely loved her, and he is usually a very shy dog who takes some time to warm up to new people. 🥰 She sent us updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. And when we came home, the house was actually cleaner than when we left! We highly recommend Marie-Hélène without hesitation. Wow, wow, wow! We will definitely be booking her again for our next trips. ❤️”

About: J'ai grandi entourÊ d'animaux et surtout de chiens, ils sont ma plus grande passion, d'ailleurs nous en avons 5 toutous à la maison, passionnÊe des poilus autant pour leur alimentation, soin, Êducation, ayant plusieurs cours et formations à mon actif! Autant la conformitÊ, obÊissance, agilitÊ ou sport ratier, je suis très active avec ceux-ci. Leur language ne m'est pas inconnu. Une balade, une collade, rien ne me dÊrange si c'est pour leur bonheur. Corps sain dans un esprit sain comme on dit :) Je travaille à temps plein de la maison, je peux facilement me dÊplacer le matin, midi et soir, passer la soirÊe! Le but premier est le bien être de l'animal. Pour la garde à la maison, je suis à la maison presque 24h/7j (à part pour quelques commissions, rv, et cours avec les toutous), nous avons une cours clôturÊe et facilement l'espace pour l'intÊgration du pensionnaire sans qu'il ne vive un traumatisme à l'intÊrieur et à l'extÊrieur ! Cependant, votre chien doit être socialiser avec toutes les grandeurs, pour les chiots notre maison est un endroit idÊal pour la socialisation sans risque. Les chiens ont des coussins dans toutes les pièces, peuvent aussi avoir accès au divan (si non restreint par le propriÊtaire), sans stress pour nos meubles et plancher, c'est une maison vivante incluant les animaux.

“We had a fantastic experience with Valentina! She took such great care of our pets—lots of playtime, attention, and love. It was clear they were comfortable and happy with her. She also went above and beyond around the house, keeping everything tidy and even helping out with our backyard plants. Valentina kept us updated throughout our trip with regular pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind about both the pets and the house. Highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”

About: My pet care experience comes primarily from caring for my own dog, who I was the primary caregiver and walker for throughout her 15 years. While living in Australia, our neighbour also entrusted us with caring for his 4-year-old Golden Retriever while he was at work. This included feeding her, taking her for walks, and keeping her at our home during the day. I’ve also regularly helped friends and family care for their pets while they were away, including feeding them, letting them outside, and making sure they were comfortable and well cared for. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I'm currently unemployed as I am new to the area and moved here for my partners work. I am available at any time of day, any day of the week. I am very active and love to be outside rain or shine, so taking pets out on walks, to the park, or to hang out in the yard is aligned with my priorities. I am adaptable to the needs of your pet. I am active and able bodied so I would not struggle assisting a pet that is not as mobile. On the flip side, I love to be outside and active so I am happy to take long walks, spend time outside with your pet, and keep them stimulated with play such as fetch.

About: I am a natural with dogs. Some people have a maternal instincts with their kids, I have it with dogs. I still don't have a dog of my own but I still want to spend every time possible near one. If you leave your dog with me, you will get a dog sitter that is very attentive and that will give it all. I took care of some dogs of friends and family but it's the first time trying it on a platform like this. I'm currently between the end of university and the start of my career so I have all the time of the world to be with your dog. I am someone that spends a lot of time outside so I can care easily for a dog that needs to be active a lot

About: J'ai travaillÊ au coeur d'un refuge animalier et d'organismes à but non lucratif ainsi qu'au besoin de l'entourage. J'Êtends maintenant mon aide ici en espÊrant faire des heureux :). Besoins particuliers, allergies, handicaps, seniors et bien plus, chacun de vos compagnons a droit au même niveau d'attention et d'amour (avec un faible pour nos seniors ;). Au plaisir de rencontrer vos toutous et matous et de vous donner un coup de patte! I worked with an animal shelter and multiple non-profit organizations as well as relatives & friends. I'm now extending my help here hoping to bring peace of mind to some in need of it :). Specific & special needs, allergies, handicaps, seniors, and many more, each and every one of your companions are as worthy of our love and care (with a small bias for the seniors ;). I am looking forward to meeting your doggies and kitties and lend you a paw! J'ai un horaire pratiquement libre à temps plein en terme de choix sur la ou les journÊes dÊsirÊes. Trouvons ensemble le moment idÊal pour vos besoins! I currently have almost full time availability in terms of selection of days. Let's try to make it happen within your needs shall we! Mes services se dÊroulent un à un avec votre ou vos animaux de compagnie. Je ne mixe pas plusieurs clients à moins d'en avoir la demande et ce seulement si les animaux se connaissent dÊjà sans problème. Pour ma sÊcuritÊ et celle de tous les animaux sous ma garde, en contact avec l'Êquipement utilisÊ entre les diffÊrents mÊnages, je requiers une vaccination à jour, autant chez les chiens que les chats. Je lave mon Êquipement rÊgulièrement mais je prÊfère largement prÊvenir que guÊrir <3. Une fiche avec les informations nÊcessaires en cas d'urgence me suit Êgalement. Le bien-être et la sÊcuritÊ de vos compagnons est et sera toujours ma prioritÊ #1. My services are always one on one with your pet(s). I do not mix clients unless specifically requested and solely if all animals previously met eachother without problems. For my own safety and the one of animals under my care coming in contact with equipment used between different homes, I require up to date vaccination for dogs and cats alike. I wash and clean my equipment regularly but I much rather be safe than sorry <3. A form with all necessary information in case of emergency follows me at all time as well. The welfare of your companion is and will always be my #1 priority.

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint-Basile-le-Grand

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 1,093 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint-Basile-le-Grand. 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-Basile-le-Grand 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-Basile-le-Grand 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-Basile-le-Grand 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:

  • 89% 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.
