House Sitting in Saint-Damase

“Je recommande à 200%. Maude a démontré une grande gentillesse et une grande bienveillance envers mon chat. Elle sait vraiment bien s'occuper de lui, la rassurer et jouer avec lui.”

About: I believe animals are always communicating with us, and I approach pet care by listening first and responding with patience and care. I have 12 years of experience with my own dog and have worked through reactivity, anxiety, fear of noises, and leash pulling using positive reinforcement. I have worked with multiple trainers over the years and have spent a lot of time learning about dog behaviour and psychology, which has shaped how I care for animals today. I pay close attention to body language and subtle cues like freezing, yawning, or disengaging. When a dog seems overwhelmed, I focus on helping them feel safe and settled by creating space, choosing calmer routes or environments, or redirecting them toward something grounding. With shy or nervous dogs, I always let them approach on their own terms and give them the freedom to take breaks or step away when needed. I also believe in balancing physical and mental stimulation. Along with fulfilling walks, I enjoy incorporating enrichment like sniffing games, confidence-building activities, and gentle training. These activities work well for high-energy dogs and can also help more nervous or shy dogs feel comfortable and confident. I have experience caring for large and small dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, as well as administering medication including pills, liquids, topical treatments, and ear drops. I am very comfortable following vet instructions and care routines, and I tend to be very organized and attentive to detail. Above all, I genuinely care about each animal’s wellbeing and individuality. I use patience, positive reinforcement, and observation as the foundation of my care, and I always do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. I’m currently a work-from-home professional so I am quite flexible time and space wise. I am available at virtually any time and can readily offer overnight care in your home while you’re away. With a persistent attention to detail, I frequently look out for when an animal is trying to communicate a need, such as them wanting water, to play, to eat, to be pet, etc. I always ensure they have fresh, clean water and that they are fed the appropriate amount and on time. I also like to spend quality time with them giving them belly rubs and and behind-the-ear scratches. I also look out for their safety by keeping things that might be dangerous out of reach as well as checking in on them frequently to make sure they are doing well :)

About: J’ai toujours vécu avec des animaux et m’en suis occupée au quotidien, notamment avec mon propre chien, un berger allemand. J’ai l’habitude de comprendre leurs besoins, leur énergie et leur comportement. Je propose des promenades calmes, sécuritaires et adaptées à chaque chien. Je prends le temps avec eux, sans stress, en respectant leur rythme. Je propose également des visites à domicile (gardiennage), pour nourrir, donner de l’attention et m’assurer que votre animal se sente bien en votre absence. Je suis une personne fiable, douce et attentive, et je comprends à quel point il est important de laisser son animal à quelqu’un de confiance. Je peux également envoyer des nouvelles et des photos pendant les visites ou promenades pour vous rassurer. Au plaisir de rencontrer votre chien 🐾 Je suis disponible en semaine en fin de journée ainsi que les week-ends pour les promenades. Je propose également des gardes à domicile principalement les week-ends, idéales si vous devez vous absenter ou partir en voyage. Je m’adapte au besoin de chaque animal et je prends le temps nécessaire pour assurer leur bien-être. Lors de mes visites à domicile, je respecte toujours l’environnement de l’animal afin qu’il se sente en sécurité et en confiance. Je prends le temps de m’occuper de lui calmement, en respectant son rythme et ses habitudes. Je veille à son bien-être, à son alimentation et à son confort. Je suis une personne fiable, attentive et respectueuse, et je comprends l’importance de laisser son animal à quelqu’un de confiance.

About: J’ai toujours eu des animaux, chats et chiens. Je ne peux pas en avoir dans mon appartement et je m’ennuie du contact et l’amour animalier. J’ai énormément de disponibilités et de flexibilité étant en arrêt de travail depuis 2 ans. Il me fera plaisir de vous offrir de mon temps avec vos animaux chéris. Je suis active, j’adore marcher pendant plus d’une heure et il me ferais plaisir de permettre à votre chien d’avoir cet exercice avec moi. Je garde également souvent les chats de mes ami.e.s. Et j’adore me coller et les flatter, leur parler et dire comment ils sont beaux. J’adore découvrir les personnalités uniques de chaque animaux.

“We honestly cannot say enough good things about Cristine. The day before we left, our dog unexpectedly had to go to the vet, which meant we were leaving him with multiple medications and a lot of anxiety on our end… we were so nervous about traveling under those circumstances, but Cristine immediately put us at ease. She went above and beyond in every possible way… following medication instructions perfectly, keeping us updated, and caring for him with so much attention, patience, and genuine kindness. It was clear she truly cared about his comfort and well-being!!! We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a spotless home… and most importantly, complete peace of mind while we were away. Trusting someone with your dog is one thing… trusting someone when your dog isn’t 100% is another… and Cristine exceeded every expectation. If we could give 6 stars, we absolutely would. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would not hesitate for a second to book with her again… highly, highly recommend!!!!!!”

“Friendly, tidy, flexible, and responsive. Lindsay cared for our cats and dog while we were away. An unexpected issue had occurred with our return flights, which Lindsay was understanding and flexible with. She followed the instructions we left with regards to our pets, and tidied our apartment before we returned, which was very thoughtful! We recommend her, and would use her services again.”

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!) All i need is for you to have reliable Wi-Fi i can connect to in order to work. Im able to give your pet attention throughout the whole day and go for potty breaks when needed. Walks would be before work, during lunchbreak and after work. I speak FR and EN. I can give you updates and pictures as much as you need to feel like your baby is safe. I’m a very calm person and would be working on my computer wether it’s a weekday or weekend so your home is in good hands. I can also do a house clean for a fee if you’re interested.

About: Ive been fortunate to have always been surrounded by dogs, cats, bunnies, and other animals at my parents rehabilitation center. I volunteered for the SPCA as a trained dog-walker for close to a decade and am unfazed by any behavioural /aggressive traits as I’ve fostered a range of rescues and owned seniors throughout my 20s. Please ask me any questions about the experience you’re searching for :) I’ve recently finished my graduate studies and work remotely part-time. My partner and I take care of our senior dog (12) so I am happy to house sit or provide drop ins/walks anytime. My schedule is flexible, let’s chat about what your and your pets’ needs are! Fenced in yard, spotless house so they won’t get into anything, and constant company :) I’m responsible but easy going, let me know your rules and I’ll follow them to keep your pet comfortable and on schedule

About: I've always been in love with pets specially dogs, cats and birds. I usually take care of my friends pumpkins while their away and keep them happy and healthy. I actually believe in this quote from Milan K: "Dogs are our link to paradise". Aren't they? Luckily I have flexible working hours so I can adjust my schedule based on your need to spend quality time with your pet and do the work later! It is unbearable for me to see a bored dog or cat. I will play with them without feeling the time and make sure they have their food and medications.

About: I have experience with a large variety of animals, including many foster dogs and cats, many of which with their own sensitivities and triggers. I also helped foster a broader set of animals through my childhood, including geese and raccoons, and have pet sat too many times to count for dogs, cats, and bunnies I currently work an inconsistent field job, so my schedule is wide open when it is open... and the rest of the time it is closed for months. Please reach out and I can tell you what part of the world I'm in when you are looking for a sitter I am looking primarily for pet sits that include house sitting, so I can be available for the animals on a 24/7 basis if needed

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)

“I cannot find words strong enough to express my gratitude to Rachel. She has taken care of my dog with love and dedication. A wonderful, wonderful person!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was born and always had a passion for dogs and animals in general. They are literally all treated like royalty :) I work full time remotely. That allows me to always be available for day walks and to supervise them and be available whenever the dog is in need of anything. My work is very flexible so I can play with the dog even during the day and not leave them alone I have a fenced yard and live close to a few parks. I never send the dogs out alone as I am always there to supervised, even if fenced areas
