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 :)
“Florence was so good with Pancho! She asked questions about his routine, gave me really detailed updates after she left. She started to develop a nice relationship with him after just a few visits. Will definately keep contacting her for Pancho’s visits and walks. I know he is in great hands!”
About: Je m’occupe de mes deux bassets à la maison, j’ai eu un élevage pendant deux ans où la femelle basset originaire de la Bretagne m’a fait une très belle portée dont les chiots étaient tous en santé. J’ai gardé le dernier chiot son nom est Rocky il est très gentil. Avec mes deux bassets, nous nous promenons deux fois par jour petite balade du matin et balade de l’après-midi on sort souvent pour des sorties d’une heure, dont le parc à chien où nous aimons vraiment beaucoup socialiser, et se défouler, nous aimons les autres amis, car nous sommes faits pour vivre en meute. Si je me déplace, j’effectue toujours une surveillance d’hygiène, nettoyage des pipis s’il y a lieu et remise en état de la pièce donner la nourriture, puis s’assurer qu’ils ont toujours de l’eau, jouer et aller dehors et faire les soins routine, lavage des oreilles, lavage des dents, lavage du poil, brosser le poil et s’assurer qu ils sont en pleine santé. Cela fait partie de ma routine avec mes deux chiens.
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!
“Merci beaucoup pour le temps que tu as passé à la maison et pour avoir si bien pris soin de notre Aleska! Nous étions très en confiance avec toi, surtout parce que tu étais toujours disponible pour nous répondre rapidement si nous avions des questions. Mélia est très responsable et on sent qu'elle aime vraiment les animaux! Pendant notre voyage, nous avons beaucoup apprécié les photos d'Aleska que tu nous as envoyées, elle avait l'air de bien s'amuser. Nous te recommandons fortement! Encore une fois, merci Mélia.”

About: My passion for animals began at the age of 7, when I took care of a standard poodle and created agility courses for him, since I couldn’t have pets of my own. Since then, my love for animals has only grown, and today I am a proud parent to several companions. Each animal is unique, and I make sure to provide them with attentive care, as if they were part of my family. Caring for animals is an integral part of my daily routine. Between feeding, playtime, and maintaining a clean and stimulating environment, I care for my pets with love every day. I’m used to balancing active play sessions with quiet, relaxing moments. Having also raised a litter of kittens, I know how to adapt my routine to meet the needs of animals at every stage of their lives. Whether it’s for my own pets or others, providing consistent and attentive care comes naturally to me. Whether at my home or my clients’ homes, I always tailor my care to the specific needs of each animal. At home, I create a safe and stimulating environment, with spaces to play, relax, and feel right at home. My pets are used to sharing their space, which makes it easier to welcome new companions. Chez mes clients, je respecte les habitudes et la routine de l'animal pour assurer un maximum de confort en leur absence. Qu'il s'agisse de promenades, de jeux interactifs, de repas ou simplement de leur tenir compagnie, je veille à ce que chaque animal reçoive toute l'attention et les soins nécessaires pour se sentir en sécurité et épanoui.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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-Hyacinthe 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!
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.

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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
