“Gabriela & Phil were absolutely amazing taking care of my dog! Gabriela was very proactive in terms of communication and followed instructions very carefully. She sent me pictures during the day of my dog and took him for a walk. I would for sure trust Gabriela & Phil with my dog again :)”

“Une expérience très agréable pour Maple et une grande tranquillité d'esprit pour nous. Merci pour votre communication constante, les photos, la charmante compagnie de ses petits chiens et surtout pour les excellents soins prodigués à notre chien. Je suis heureuse d'avoir trouvé une personne aussi dévouée et attentionnée que Cinthia. Merci d'avoir accueilli Maple.”

“Steven was very quick to get back to my request. I was convinced I could leave him in care of my dog right at our meet and greet. He is very kind and made us comfortable right away. You can tell he cares about dogs. His two dogs are very sweet and we're very nice to mine. I recommend Steven 100% I just rebooked with them for two sittings. Manon”

“J’ai eu une excellente expérience avec Audrey comme gardienne pour mon chien. Elle a fait preuve d’un grand professionnalisme, de douceur et d’attention. On sent immédiatement qu’elle aime les animaux, et mon chien s’est rapidement attaché à elle. À mon retour, mon chien était heureux, en confiance et visiblement très bien traité. Je recommande Audrey sans hésitation à toute personne qui cherche quelqu’un de fiable et attentionné pour s’occuper de son animal.”

About: J’ai toujours eu des animaux depuis ma jeunesse. Je suis toujours attentive à leurs besoin et je ne manque jamais un détail. Ce qui est ma grande force avec les animaux. Pendant quelques années j’ai travaillé dans le grand nord, j’ai fondé ma petite organization pour sauver des chiens nordiques à Kuujjuaq,Quebec. Je m’occupais de trouver des familles et de leurs donner des soins. Je sais m’adapter aux races diverses et leurs tempéraments qui sont toujours unique. I am a very passionnate and caring person with animals since I am a kid. I had all kind of animals in my life: dogs small and large, cats, parrots, budgies rabbits and fish. I have been rescuing homeless puppies and dogs while working in the arctic between 1999 and 2002. I understand dogs behavior and I know a lot about pet first aid and different diseases and symptoms. I have a very calming energy with pets, I understand them and make sure they are always comfortable. I live in the Montérégie area, about 35 min drive from Montreal . I have a detach house with a large yard as well and a finish basement for more space to play when there is bad weather:) There is a lot of space and I have access to great parks and hiking paths nearby at all time:) Je travaille de la maison à temps partiel, j’ai beaucoup de flexibilité et disponibilité. Je veux éventuellement seulement m’occuper d’animaux de compagnie dans le futur. J’ai une grande cour clôturée, il y a beaucoup d’espace pour jouer et aussi je suis tout près de nombreux parcs pour prendre de longues marches en toute sécurité. Mon travail étant flexible, je peux en tout temps me libérer pour accommoder les besoins de chaques chiens, repas, pause dehors, médicaments, je marche beaucoup, souvent je vais en voiture dans des endroits spécifiques pour plus de tranquilté. J’ai une cour gazonnée intime et sécurisée, beaucoup d’espace pour les jeux ou simplement prendre une sieste au soleil sur notre balcon. L’hiver je fais des petits sentiers dans la neige.
“Mina was so well taken care of and loved! I received lots of photos and videos, which made me feel so reassured whenever I missed her. I’ll definitely reach out to them again whenever we need dog sitting. 🥹 thank you”

About: I have loved and cared for animals since I was a child. Growing up, I had experience caring for many different kinds of animals, including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, geese, silkworms, butterflies, ants, and mantises. Because of this, I learned early how to observe animals carefully, understand their needs, and be patient and gentle with different personalities. What sets me apart is my lifelong love for animals and my attention to detail. I understand that every pet has its own routine, comfort level, and personality. Some pets need space, some need extra attention, and some simply need a calm, clean, and safe environment. I’m happy to follow each owner’s instructions carefully and provide feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box cleaning, walks, companionship, and photo updates. I will care for your pet with patience, respect, and genuine love, just like I would care for my own. I’m also very attentive to animal body language and behavior. I pay close attention to their signals, habits, comfort level, and boundaries. I understand that animals communicate in subtle ways, through posture, movement, sounds, energy, and routine changes. This helps me respond gently and appropriately, whether a pet needs space, reassurance, playtime, or extra care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I spend a lot of time at home and can provide regular attention throughout the day. I’m available for feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box cleaning, photo updates, and gentle companionship. I’m also flexible with each pet’s routine and will follow the owner’s instructions carefully. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and cat-friendly environment. We have experience caring for cats, and our home has litter boxes, cat toys, scratching posts, cat trees, cozy resting areas, and food and water bowls. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and respected. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I give shy cats space and offer attention to cats who enjoy company. I keep the litter area clean, follow feeding instructions carefully, and send photo updates so owners can feel reassured while they are away. In a client’s home, I will respect their space, follow their instructions, keep everything tidy, and make sure their pet has fresh water, food, a clean litter box, and calm companionship.
“From the moment we connected, Marina and her girls were professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. They kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Our furry boy looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. It’s not easy trusting someone with your furry family member, but this experience exceeded expectations. Everything from communication to care and attention was absolutely perfect. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone reliable and genuinely loving with pets. Will definitely be booking again with Marina! 🐶✨”

“My dog didn’t want to leave this family , the true pet lovers . I was regularly updated with the pics and videos , I didn’t even have to worry and ask for it. Thank you very much for all the provided care of my dog , you guys are really amazing ❤️”

“I’m very grateful to Laila for the excellent care she gave my dog. She was very patient and handled her nervousness and anxiety really well. It’s clear that she has a lot of experience and genuine love for animals. I totally recommend her!”

“Une superbe belle journée pour Gucci! Très contente qu'il rencontre des nouveaux " amis " hehe a voir les vidéos il adore son nouvel ami Ulko!. Un gros merci encore une fois Hala de toujours me rassurer sur mon petit bb et veiller sur lui! Quand je dépose Gucci j'ai zéro crainte, continue ce que tu fais 🥰🤗”

“Sarah was super friendly and we were thrilled our pup would have some other dogs to play with during the day--an extra special treat for her while with someone else. She was responsive and sent a video and photos, and helped us by filling out a rover report card at the end of the day. Lucy came home tired from her day of great play, which is always a great sign. We actually booked Sarah again for the following day and Lucy seemed very happy to return! Thanks Sarah!”

About: Hi there! I’ve spent nearly 19 years caring for my two beloved dogs, Cash and Mika, who both taught me the true meaning of love, patience, and companionship. Through their senior years, I became experienced in gentle care, administering medication, and supporting dogs with mobility challenges—Mika’s back legs began to weaken in her final years, so I understand how important comfort and consistency are. I live in an apartment with plenty of space for play, plus several dog parks nearby for fun outdoor time. Whether your pup is energetic or prefers a slower pace, I’ll adjust to their unique personality and needs. I’d love to give your furry friend the same care and attention I gave my own. I am currently working part time from home so I have flexible availability to work around your schedule and adapt to your pets needs as works best. I had two senior pups of my own that got daily walks. If I am pet sitting I would provide daily walks based on their energy levels and work within their scheduled potty training times.
“I highly recommend Mobin and commend his quick communication and flexibility. Teddy always had a smile when he saw Mobin in the morning which shows how good him and his family took care of Teddy this week.”

About: Les chiens ont toujours occupé une grande place dans nos vies. On a tous les deux grandi avec eux et on a adoré chaque instant. Au fil des années, on a partagé notre maison avec un basset hound, un bouvier bernois, un toy poodle, un carlin et un berger de pologne, et on les a tous entraînés nous-mêmes. Chacun avait sa propre personnalité et son propre tempérament, et chacun nous a appris quelque chose de nouveau ! On est un couple actif et on adore vraiment emmener les chiens en course ou en longue balade. On n'a pas de chien à la maison en ce moment, alors honnêtement, ce serait un vrai plaisir de se balader et de courir avec le vôtre. Que votre chien soit du genre canapé ou débordant d'énergie, on s'adaptera à son rythme et à son style. Dogs have always been a big part of our lives. We both grew up with them and loved every moment of it. Over the years, we've shared our home with a basset hound, a bernese mountain dog, a toy poodle, a pug, and a polish lowland sheepdog, and trained them all ourselves. Each one had their own personality and temperament, and each one taught us something new! We're an active couple and genuinely love bringing dogs along for runs or long walks. We currently don't have a dog at home, so honestly, it would be such a pleasure to go on walks and runs with yours. Whether your pup is a couch potato or a bundle of energy, we will adapt and match their style. On travaille tous les deux de la maison la plupart du temps, ce qui nous donne une belle flexibilité dans nos journées. On peut facilement intégrer des visites et des promenades à notre routine, sans que ça soit fait à la va-vite. Que ce soit une balade le matin, un check-in en milieu de journée ou une visite en après-midi, on s'adapte à l'horaire de votre animal. We both work from home most days, which means our days are pretty flexible. We can easily fit drop-in visits and dog walks into our routine without it feeling rushed. Whether it's a morning walk, a midday check-in, or an afternoon visit, we're able to adapt to your pet's schedule rather than the other way around! Quand on se rend chez vous, notre priorité c'est que votre animal se sente en sécurité et à l'aise dans son propre espace. On sait que les animaux sont toujours plus détendus dans un environnement familier, alors on respecte leurs routines, leurs habitudes, et on prend le temps de laisser les animaux plus timides ou nerveux apprivoiser notre présence à leur propre rythme. Pour les promenades, on reste attentifs en tout temps. On observe le langage corporel, on reste dans des zones sécuritaires et on s'assure que chaque sortie soit une belle expérience pour votre chien. Votre maison et votre animal sont entre des mains attentionnées et bienveillantes ! When we come to your home, our priority is making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own space. We know that animals are always more relaxed in a familiar environment, so we follow their routines, respect their habits, and take the time to let shy or nervous pets warm up to us at their own pace. For dog walks, we stay attentive at all times. We keep an eye on body language, stay in safe areas, and make sure every outing is a good experience for your pup. Your home and your pet are in careful, caring hands!
“THE BEST dog sitter. Melissa is so kind and flexible. My flight got cancelled last minute so I had to extend my initial booking by one more night and Melissa responded to me right away and made it so effortless. She sent me updates and pictures daily which was so lovely. My dog was living his best life. I am super picky when it comes to leaving my dog with someone I don’t know and she made it super easy. This was the first time I wasn’t worried about my pup while being away. I couldn’t recommend her more! Thank you again for taking such good care of my fur baby ☺️”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur
Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 1,000 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur. About 86% of Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur 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-le-Mineur 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:
- 87% 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.
