Une autre belle journée pour Bailey.... Il est brûlé le petit.... Ne dort presque jamais dans l'auto.... Dès qu' il est monté il s'est endormi. On voit qu'il vous adore. A très bientôt.

About: Les animaux ont toujours occupé une grande place dans ma vie. J’ai eu mon premier chien à l’âge de 12 ans et, depuis, j’ai toujours vécu avec des chiens de différentes races, tailles et personnalités : bichon maltais, chihuahua à poil long, chiens de berger, Boston terrier et Yorkshire. J’ai donc l’habitude de m’adapter aux besoins et au tempérament de chaque chien. Je sais à quel point il peut être difficile de confier son animal à quelqu’un, alors mon objectif est de lui offrir un environnement sécuritaire, attentionné et chaleureux, où il pourra se sentir comme à la maison. J’habite dans une maison avec un sous-sol et une grande cour arrière clôturée d’environ 5 000 pieds carrés, idéale pour jouer, explorer et profiter de l’extérieur en toute sécurité. J’ai présentement un Yorkshire de 12 ans qui adore la compagnie des autres chiens, peu importe leur taille ou leur race. Il est très sociable et heureux d’accueillir de nouveaux compagnons. J’ai aussi un Boston terrier de 5 ans mais à temps partiel. Elle suit mon fils de 6 ans en garde partagée. Pendant son séjour, votre animal recevra beaucoup d’attention et sera traité comme un membre de la famille. Je respecterai également sa routine, ses habitudes et les consignes que vous me transmettrez. Je suis enseignante, donc je suis présentement en vacances et disponible à temps plein jusqu’au 24 août. Durant l’année scolaire, je suis disponible une fin de semaine sur deux, pendant les vacances des Fêtes ainsi que lors des congés fériés. Lorsque je travaille, il n’y a personne à la maison entre 7 h 30 et 16 h durant la semaine. Il est donc important que votre animal soit à l’aise de rester seul pendant cette période. J’habite dans une maison avec un sous-sol et une grande cour arrière clôturée d’environ 5 000 pieds carrés. Les sorties dans la cour se font sous surveillance. J’ai un Yorkshire de 12 ans qui adore les autres chiens. Je respecte toujours les habitudes et les consignes données par les propriétaires. Si désiré, je peux amener votre chien au Parc à chien de L'Épiphanie. À chaque jours, j'adore prendre des marches avec les chiens.

About: Hi! I’m Patricia, and I provide private, home-based care for small dogs in Terrebonne. I work from home, which means your dog is never left alone for long periods. I care for a maximum of 2 client dogs at a time, allowing me to provide personalized attention, supervision, affection, and a calm environment throughout the day. My husband Alexis and I share our home with Gotham (yes, like Batman’s city haha), our 11-year-old Maltese! We absolutely love having dogs around and treat every guest as part of the family. I’m skilled at giving lots of kisses and hugs while maintaining a clean and safe environment for your pet. I intentionally keep the number of client dogs very small. This allows me to get to know each dog’s personality, respect their individual needs and routines, and give them much more one-on-one attention than they would typically receive in a large daycare environment. I have experience caring for senior dogs, dogs with special needs, and pets requiring oral medication. I am also very attentive to behavioral and emotional needs. Every animal has its own personality and personal space that needs to be respected. I make sure each pet gets the attention, affection, and fun they need while they are with me, and I do everything necessary to ensure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. 

 I do not have any breed preferences; however, due to my condominium's regulations, I am only able to host dogs weighing less than 15 lbs (6.8 kg). If you are looking for a calm, private home environment where your small dog can receive plenty of attention and companionship, I would be happy to meet you and your pup! Let me take care of your pet—I will love them like my own! I stay at home all day and I usually take a walk with the dogs one time in the morning and one time in the afternoon. I let them free to play with the toys I have and to take a nap when they want to. I'm very attentive and always keep a close eye on my surroundings to make sure the dogs have everything they need to feel comfortable and safe. Potty Training & Diaper Policy 🐾 For the comfort, cleanliness, and well-being of all dogs in my care, dogs should be trained to relieve themselves on pee pads or during walks. During their stay, dogs are taken outside twice a day — once in the morning and once in the afternoon. I also provide access to a designated potty area approximately every 3 hours, giving them regular opportunities to relieve themselves. If your dog is not fully potty trained and has repeated accidents indoors, the use of a diaper will be required when necessary to maintain a clean, hygienic, and comfortable environment for everyone. By booking my service, you acknowledge and authorize me to use a diaper on your dog when needed. I provide reusable, washable dog diapers for this purpose. If you prefer that your dog use their own diaper for personal hygiene, comfort, or fit preferences, you are absolutely welcome to bring your own.

About: Je suis passionné par les chiens depuis toujours, je propose mes services de garde avec un amour inconditionnel et une attention toute particulière pour le bien-être de votre pitou. Mon expérience personnelle m'a permis d'apprendre à interagir avec des chiens de toutes tailles et de tous tempéraments : Races de grande taille : J'ai eu le bonheur de partager ma vie avec un Cane Corso, ce qui m'a appris la gestion des grands chiens, le respect de leurs besoins physiques et l'importance d'une approche calme et rassurante. Chiens actifs et affectueux : J'ai également élevé un Labernois, un chien doux, intelligent et énergique. Au quotidien aujourd'hui : Je suis actuellement l'heureux propriétaire d'une Golden Mountain Dog. Elle fait partie intégrante de ma vie et m'apporte une excellente compréhension des chiens sociables, joueurs et affectueux. Ce que je propose pour votre chien : Promenades adaptées : Selon son niveau d'énergie et son rythme. Environnement sécuritaire : Habitué aux grands chiens, je sais anticiper leurs réactions et assurer leur sécurité. Séjour comme à la maison : Plein d'attention, de câlins, de jeux et le respect strict de vos consignes (alimentation, médicaments, routine). Nouvelles régulières : Des photos et vidéos quotidienne pour que vous partiez l'esprit tranquille. Qu'il soit petit ou grand, calme ou plein d'énergie, votre chien sera traité comme un membre de ma propre famille. N'hésitez pas à me contacter pour discuter de ses besoins ou organiser une première rencontre ! Présence et disponibilité : Je peux facilement adapter mes journées pour organiser des sorties régulières, des pauses pipi à heures fixes et offrir une présence rassurante à votre chien. Respect rigoureux des routines : Habitué à gérer des responsabilités d'envergure, je traite la routine et les consignes de votre animal avec le même niveau de rigueur et de sérieux. Réactivité : Mon horaire me permet de m'adapter à vos imprévus ou à vos demandes de dernière minute avec beaucoup de facilité. Chez moi (Mon domicile) Environnement sécurisé : Un espace de vie propre, adapté et totalement sécurisé pour éviter tout risque de fuite ou d'ingestion d'objets dangereux. Supervision et présence : Votre chien ne restera pas seul pendant de longues heures. Les sorties aux toilettes et les pauses jeux sont intégrées naturellement dans ma journée. Cohabitation maîtrisée : Ma Golden Mountain Dog est habituée aux autres chiens. Les présentations se font toujours de manière progressive, dans le calme et sous contrôle constant. Respect des habitudes : Coins repas séparés pour éviter toute tension et respect strict de sa routine d'alimentation et de sommeil. Chez vous (Au domicile du propriétaire) Intégrité et discrétion : Habitué aux responsabilités professionnelles, je traite votre domicile avec le plus grand respect, la plus grande propreté et une confidentialité totale. Maintien des repères : Je suis vos directives à la lettre (heures de repas, parcours de marche habituels, règles de la maison) pour que votre animal ne perde aucun de ses repères en votre absence. Sécurité lors des promenades : Mon expérience avec des races puissantes (Cane Corso, Labernois) me permet de maîtriser parfaitement la conduite en laisse et de rester vigilant face aux stimuli extérieurs (autres chiens, voitures). Communication et confiance Mises à jour régulières : Envoi quotidien de photos, vidéos et petits messages pour vous donner des nouvelles de son état d'esprit et de ses activités. Gestion des urgences : Un protocole clair établi ensemble au préalable (coordonnées de votre vétérinaire, contacts d'urgence) pour agir immédiatement en cas de besoin.

About: A lifelong pet parent, I've been caring for dogs, cats, and birds for over 25 years. I have a large home with a fenced backyard, which backs onto a forest for the best walks. I have a dedicated area for pet care and am fully equipped with grooming equipment if needed. I'm equally comfortable with dogs and cats, and have cared for animals at all stages of their lives, from puppy/kitten days all the way to old age. My eldest pug lived to be 19! I work from home as a freelancer and I make my own schedule. This gives me plenty of time to spend with your pet. My daily routine involves an early start around 6am, breakfast for the pets and the kids before the morning school dropoff, and two daily walks around the neighborhood. Your pet is welcome to join me on the walks, or cuddle up in my lap at home. I'll love them like my own! I am pleased to adapt to your pet's needs. My home has a separate area dedicated to pet sitting for pets who are more shy or like their own space. My cat is quite friendly and has experience with other cats and dogs. My backyard is fenced and secure. Typically I have pets enter through the dedicated side entrance to acclimatize to the environment before introducing them to the main part of the house. This ensures that your little one feels safe and confident in their temporary home with my family.

My dog had really good time with Mechelle. Walking, swimming in a river, playing with baby and much more , also Mechelle was quite flexible with the day care timing as we were visiting Montreal with our friends and daily pickup and drop off timing was pretty odd as a tourist. Thank you so much for your help Michelle, definitely would like to see you again in our next Montreal visit.

About: (English version below!) J’adore les animaux! Si je pouvais posséder un super pouvoir, je choisirais de pouvoir les comprendre parfaitement, afin qu’ils puissent toujours avoir des interactions agréables avec moi ☺️ J’ai suivi le cours de language canin à la SPCA de Montréal, ainsi que leur cours d’hygiène et biosécurité en refuge. J’ai été bénévole là-bas en tant que promeneuse de chiens et foyer d’accueil. J’adore m’occuper des animaux de mes ami.e.s! J’ai aussi travaillé à une animalerie il y a quelques années, j’étais responsable des oiseaux et des rongeurs 🐁🦜🤗 Je pense que mon dévouement envers le bien être des animaux à ma charge font partie des qualités qui font de moi une bonne gardienne d’animaux, ainsi que le respect et la grande curiosité que j’ai pour eux, ce qui m’aide à apprendre et m’améliorer chaque jour. Au plaisir de rencontrer votre boule de poil! Vlanie 🌸 IMPORTANT: Veuillez prendre note que je ne peux pas accepter d’animaux bruyants et/ou destructeurs dans mon domicile. __________________________________ I love animals! If I could choose one special power it would be to understand them perfectly, in order for them to always have pleasant interactions with me 😊 I took canine language training at the Montreal SPCA, along with their course on biosecurity and hygiene in shelters. I used to volunteer as a dog walker and a foster home. I love offering my help to care for my friends’ pets, and I used to work at a pet store a few years ago; I was responsible for the rodents and birds 🐁🦜🤗 I think what makes me a good pet sitter is how devoted I am to the well-being of the animals I care for, along with my deep curiosity and respect for animals, which makes me able to learn more and improve everyday. I can’t wait to meet your fluff ball! Vlanie 🌸 PLEASE READ: Please note that I am not allowed to have loud or destructive pets in my apartment. FRANÇAIS: Je fais du gardiennage d’animaux et des promenades de chiens à temps partiel. J’adore m’occuper des mêmes animaux à long terme, car j’ai l’occasion d’apprendre à les connaître davantage et former une belle complicité avec eux. Un autre avantage est que ça fait moins mal quand c’est le temps de dire au revoir, car je sais qu’on sera réunis très bientôt 🤗 ENGLISH: I do pet sitting and dog walking part time. I love taking care of the same pets over the long term, because I have the opportunity to get to know them better and form a solid trust bond with them. It’s also not as painful when it’s time to say goodbye, because I know we’ll see each other very soon 🤗 FRANÇAIS: Je vérifie si l’animal a certaines habitudes qui pourraient lui nuire (par exemple, manger les choses à terre lors des promenades), puis je modifie l’environnement et/ou je m’assure de garder un œil sur l’animal, de façon à éviter qu’il/elle puisse se mettre en danger ou endommager des choses. Pour les visites et gardes à domicile, j'apprécierais être informée de toute infestation actuelle ou récente dans la maison. ENGLISH: I check to see if the animal has certain habits that could be harmful to him/herself or his/her environment (for example, eating things on the ground when going for walks), then I modify the environment and/or I make sure to keep an eye on the animal, so that he/she cannot endanger him/herself or damage anything. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I’d appreciate being notified of any current or recent infestations in the home.

She engaged Kojo in a lot of activities with other dogs, she invited him to Hersey's birthday & she even gave him a bath when she felt he is in need of it. Thanks for Kojo's Cadeau that you gave him the last day in your care. You always deserve the best. God bless you.

About: Nous avons toujours été les personnes de notre famille et de notre cercle d’amis qu’on appelle lorsqu’il faut faire garder un animal. Ayant grandi entourés de chiens et de chats, nous avons développé une grande aisance et un réel plaisir à nous en occuper. N’ayant pas d’animaux présentement, nous adorons pouvoir en prendre soin via cette application. Nous sommes un couple d’ingénieurs travaillant tous les deux à temps plein de la maison. Cela nous permet d’être très présents et disponibles pour vos compagnons tout au long de la journée. Nous faisons régulièrement des promenades le matin, le midi et en soirée. Nous aimons tous les animaux — chiens, chats, petits, grands, timides ou enjoués — chacun reçoit toute notre attention et notre affection. Nous avons une grande cour entourée de haies de cèdre, offrant un environnement sécuritaire. Nous sommes également à l’aise d’utiliser des cages au besoin, selon vos habitudes. Comme nous n’avons pas d’animaux à la maison, le vôtre sera au centre de notre attention. We’ve always been the people our family and friends rely on when they need someone to care for their pets. Having both grown up with dogs and cats, we’re very comfortable around animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Since we don’t currently have pets of our own, we love being able to care for them through this app. We are a couple of engineers working full-time from home, which allows us to be very present and attentive throughout the day. We typically go for walks in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening. We truly enjoy the company of all animals — dogs, cats, small, large, shy, or playful — each one gets our full attention and care. We have a large yard surrounded by cedar hedges, providing a safe outdoor space. We’re also comfortable using crates if needed, depending on your pet’s routine. Since we don’t have pets of our own, yours will receive our full focus and attention. Nous travaillons de la maison à temps plein, assurant une présence constante. L’un de nous étant travailleur autonome avec un horaire très flexible, nous pouvons facilement nous adapter aux besoins spécifiques de votre animal tout au long de la journée. We both work from home full-time, ensuring constant presence. One of us is self-employed with a highly flexible schedule, allowing us to easily adapt to your pet’s specific needs throughout the day. Nous envoyons régulièrement des photos et des nouvelles pour vous garder rassuré pendant votre absence. We provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Saint-Jacques

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 897 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Saint-Jacques. About 87% of Saint-Jacques sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:

  • Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
  • Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
  • Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
  • Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
  • Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible

Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.

Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Saint-Jacques commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in QC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
