Je tiens à remercier chaleureusement Stéphanie pour l’excellent service de visites à domicile pour ma chienne Lulu. Elle a été extrêmement attentionnée, douce et affectueuse avec elle, ce qui m’a tout de suite mise en confiance. Le soin et l’amour qu’elle a donnés à Lulu ont largement dépassé mes attentes. On sent qu’elle fait son travail avec passion et sérieux. Sans hésitation, je ferai de nouveau appel à ses services à l’avenir et je la recommande vivement à toute personne cherchant quelqu’un de fiable et bienveillant pour son animal. Merci encore :)

About: I've always had pets at home growing up such as dogs, cats and even reptiles ! I also have experience caring for fishes, rabbits, chickens and pigs. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pets in someone else's care, which is why I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am more than happy to follow your pet's routine, and will make sure you receive regular updates while you're away ! I look forward meeting you and your pets ! Français / English I am currently in school, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available during weekdays and weekends and can adapt easily to your pet’s routine and specific needs. I have both a cat and a dog at home, so my space is fully equipped with a variety of toys and enrichment items. I carefully supervise all interactions between animals to ensure everyone’s safety. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and for added security, I have a securely fenced yard to provide a safe environment during outdoor time.

Pamela is such a sweetheart. She's done doggy daycare for me in the past, but this time she stopped by to check in on my cat while I was out of town with the dog. She took photos to let me know my request for litter cleaning was complete and that my cat was doing well. She also left a very nice note for me for when I got home. Will definitely be booking her again for both my dog and cat!

About: I've had my own dog for over 10 years, she's not just a pet, she's family. Trough every stage of her life, I've learned how to care for dogs with patience, love and attention to detail. I've also have experience of working in a dog shelter as a volunteer, where I learned how to handle nervous, energetic or shy dogs. I'll make sure your dog feels safe, loved and happy. I am available most days and times, including weekdays, weekends and even last-minute booking. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I'm happy to adjust to your routine I treat every pet as if they were my own, and their safety and comfort always come first. I always stay alert and I'll be happy to follow any specific instructions you provide, from feeding schedules to medications and leash preferences. You can trust that your pet will be in calm, capable and loving hands with me.

About: I have taken care of dogs, bunnies, cats, for 10+ years. My strength has been in caring for animals with anxiety, nervousness, or shyness, and bringing them comfort and a positive environment. I am very good at reinforcing training for the young ones to provide them consistency and stability in their routine. I am gifted in reading animals and having a lot of patience, and a great passion for them. This allows me to connect with them really effectively and be able to create a safe and loving experience for your fur babies! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I work full‑time as an operations manager from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the day for walks, check‑ins, playtime, and just being present. I’m not rushing in and out between commitments—your pet gets real attention worked into my day, not squeezed in as an afterthought. I used to dog sit in my own home and absolutely loved it, but after moving, my landlord no longer allows pets. Continuing to care for animals in clients’ homes is my way of keeping that connection I genuinely miss. Spending time with pets is something I want to do, not just something I’m fitting in. Because my schedule is flexible, I can adapt to your pet’s needs—whether that’s midday walks, medication timing, extra companionship during the workday, or sticking closely to an established routine. It ends up feeling very natural and consistent for them, which I know makes a big difference. For me, pet care is a grounding, enjoyable part of my week—and for your pet, it means calm, reliable care from someone who truly enjoys being there! When I care for pets in your home, I treat it like it’s their space and their routine, not just a place I’m visiting. I stick closely to your instructions—feeding schedules, walk times, meds, house rules—so everything feels as normal as possible for them. I make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and comfort, whether that means active time or just being a calm, reassuring presence nearby. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean and tidy, and always prioritize safety (doors secure, leashes on, food stored properly). I also love sending updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel totally at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: your pet feels relaxed and well cared for, and you come home to a happy animal and a home just the way you left it.

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: Depuis ma jeune enfance, j'ai des animaux de compagnies tels que des chats, des chiens, des poissons et même un cockatiel.

Je suis une passionnée du pleins air et des animaux, ce qui fait de moi une personne de confiance pour les promenades et les visites à domicile. Beau temps mauvais temps, vous pouvez être en confiance que votre bébé poilu fera son exercice et qu'il sera heureux et serein à votre retour.

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: 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: **English version coming :) Bonjour! Hello! Je m’appelle Vanessa et je parle français et anglais. N’hésitez pas à communiquer avec moi dans la langue de votre choix! Depuis toujours, les animaux occupent une place essentielle dans ma vie. J’ai grandi entourée de chiens et de chats, ce qui m’a permis de développer une véritable complicité avec eux. Je sais à quel point il peut être difficile de confier son compagnon à quelqu’un d’autre. C’est pourquoi je prends cette responsabilité très au sérieux. Avec moi, votre animal recevra toute l’attention, l’affection et les soins qu’il mérite. Vous pouvez avoir l’esprit tranquille : je prendrai soin de votre compagnon comme s’il faisait partie de ma propre famille. 🌸 Je suis également disponible pour m’occuper d’autres types d’animaux. Avec vos consignes et les informations nécessaires, je ferai toujours de mon mieux pour répondre à leurs besoins et assurer leur bien-être. Je dois toutefois avouer que j’ai moins d’expérience avec les oiseaux, les rongeurs et les reptiles. Cela dit, si vous prenez le temps de m’expliquer leurs besoins et votre routine, je serai ravie de m’en occuper avec attention. À la maison, les animaux font partie de mon quotidien! J’en ai plusieurs et je m’occupe aussi d’une colonie de chats. Vous pouvez donc avoir confiance : je suis habituée à prendre soin de nos amis à quatre pattes! Mon objectif est toujours le même : offrir une présence bienveillante, rassurante et des soins de qualité à votre compagnon, quel qu’il soit! 🐾 Hello! My name is Vanessa, and I speak both French and English. Feel free to contact me in whichever language you prefer! Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, which allowed me to build a strong bond with them from an early age. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your beloved companion, and that's why I take that responsibility very seriously. With me, your pet will receive all the attention, affection, and care they deserve. You can have peace of mind knowing that I'll care for your companion as if they were part of my own family. 🌸 I'm also happy to care for other types of pets. As long as you provide me with their routine and any important instructions, I'll always do my best to meet their needs and ensure they're happy, healthy, and comfortable. I do have less experience with birds, rodents, and reptiles. That said, if you take the time to explain their care routine and specific needs, I'd be more than happy to look after them with the same dedication and attention. At home, animals are part of my everyday life! I have several pets of my own, and I also care for a colony of community cats. You can trust that I'm very comfortable caring for our four-legged friends and treating them with the love and respect they deserve! My goal is always the same: to provide kind, reliable, and high-quality care, giving your companion the love and reassurance they deserve, no matter what kind of pet they are. 🐾 Agente de bord, je bénéficie d’un horaire très flexible. Je ferai toujours de mon mieux pour m’adapter à vos disponibilités, et je suis convaincue que nous pourrons trouver un horaire qui nous conviendra à tous! Je suis ouverte aux demandes additionnelles : passer du temps avec vos compagnons, les surveiller dans la cour, promener votre chat, jouer avec eux… ect. Je propose des gardes à domicile ainsi que des sorties! Sachez que je prendrai soin de vos animaux comme vous le feriez vous-même à la maison, en respectant à la lettre vos règles et vos habitudes. Que vous préfériez laisser un bol de nourriture disponible toute la journée ou suivre un horaire précis pour les repas, je m’adapterai avec plaisir. Mon seul intérêt est le bien-être et le bonheur de vos animaux.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 1,755 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur. About 83% 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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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-Jacques-le-Mineur 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 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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
