About: As a full time mom and dog owner, my days are busy and full of activity. I would love to extend a helping hand with your fur baby where they will be taken in with a lot of love. Safety first, but fun always! As I have a dog, the routine is already established! Every morning, afternoon and night there’s a walk. Feeding schedules are followed daily and special care and training is always provided. An energy burn is always happening in my home! I’m in home full time so my schedule is very flexible. My home has lots space and my neighbourhood is very dog friendly with lots of green spaces and parks.

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: J'ai des animaux depuis que je suis très jeunes et j'ai toujours participer à en prendre soin. J'ai présentement deux chats de 1 et 15 ans en bonne santé et que j'adore. J'aimerais vraiment avoir un chien et je m'ennuie d'en avoir un dans ma vie, mais je n'ai pas l'espace pour en adopter un en ce moment. J'adore aussi tous les animaux en général et j'aime en rencontrer de nouveaux. Ce sont des raisons qui me pousse à vouloir offrir mes services pour la garde des vôtres. Par le passé, j'ai déjà gardé un chat pendant 2 semaines qui venait d'avoir une énucléation (chirurgie pour enlever son œil) à la suite d'une infection, impliquant de lui donner des médicaments (liquides) 2 fois par jour et des gouttes pour son deuxième œil 5-6 fois par jour. J'ai aussi régulièrement gardé le chien chez ma mère pour des périodes d'environ une semaine, incluant en fin de vie alors qu'il nécessitait des médicaments (pilules) 2 fois par jour. Je suis donc généralement à l'aise de donner la médication selon vos indications. Je travaille à temps plein, mais mon horaire est assez flexible pour m'adapter à vos besoins. Je travaille en mode hybride et je dois me rendre au bureau 2 jours par semaine, mais je suis autrement en télétravail et je peux être présente et m'occuper de vos animaux sans problème pendant ce temps. Sinon je n'ai habituellement pas de restrictions le soir ou la fin de semaine. Pour la garde à domicile, je vais nourrir vos animaux, changer leur eau à tous les jours, donner la médication au besoin (selon vos indications), faire la litière des chats/sortir les chiens. Pour ces derniers, je peux offrir 1-2 marches par jours selon les habitudes de l'animal. Je pourrais aussi évidemment jouer avec eux et leur donner de l'amour. Je suis aussi ouverte à faire certains entraînements selon vos indications au besoin (à discuter).

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 :)

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Saint-Jacques

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 1,644 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Saint-Jacques. About 85% 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 to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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-Jacques 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.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .

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.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.

If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.

For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
