“Sofia stayed at our home for three weeks, looking after our dog and our cat, as well as the home, while we away on vacation. She is very easy to communicate with. We received regular updates and photos of our pets during this period from her. Not just our dog, but surprisingly our cat evidently liked her and we could tell she was genuinely affectionate towards them and needless to say, she took very good care of them. Sofia also followed all the instructions to the point. I would definitely recommend her to others who are looking for a trusted petsitter.”
About: 🇬🇧 English — Pet Care Experience (What sets me apart) Hi! I’m Léa Jasmine. I’m married and share my home with 2 dogs and 2 cats. I’ve been a dog owner for years—both small and large breeds—and I often walk neighbors’ dogs just because I genuinely enjoy it and love helping out. What sets me apart is my positive reinforcement approach and how tuned-in I am to body language. I’m intuitive, calm, and quick to notice stress signals or changes in behavior, so I can adjust the walk/visit to keep your pet feeling safe and confident. I’m comfortable with: Puppies (patience, routine, gentle guidance, basic cues if you’d like) Senior pets (slower pace, extra comfort, lots of care and observation) Shy or sensitive pets who need a calm presence You’ll receive text updates and photos after each visit (if you want them). You care, I care—your pet gets the best of it. 🐾💛 🇫🇷 Français — Expérience (Ce qui me distingue) Salut! Je m’appelle Léa Jasmine. Je suis mariée et je partage mon quotidien avec 2 chiens et 2 chats. J’ai eu des chiens pendant des années, autant des petites que des grandes races, et je promène souvent les chiens de mes voisins par plaisir — parce que j’adore ça et j’aime rendre service. Ce qui me distingue, c’est mon approche en renforcement positif et mon attention au langage corporel. Je suis intuitive, calme, et je remarque rapidement les signes de stress ou les changements de comportement, ce qui me permet d’adapter la promenade/la visite pour que votre animal se sente en confiance. Je suis à l’aise avec : Les chiots (patience, routine, encadrement doux, petits exercices au besoin) Les animaux seniors (rythme plus lent, confort, observation attentive) Les animaux timides ou sensibles qui ont besoin d’une présence rassurante Vous recevrez des nouvelles par texto et des photos après chaque visite (si vous le souhaitez). Vous tenez à votre animal, j’y tiens aussi — et votre compagnon en profite au maximum. 🐾💛 🇬🇧 English I’m a nursing student in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, and pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. My schedule includes plenty of flexible moments for walks and drop-ins, so I can be consistent and reliable with feeding times, potty breaks, play, and companionship. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine—whether that means early mornings, midday visits, or evenings. I always plan enough buffer time to avoid rushing, and I communicate clearly if anything changes. If you have a specific schedule in mind, I’ll do my best to match it so your pet stays calm and comfortable while you’re away. 🇫🇷 Français Je suis étudiante en soins infirmiers à Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, et les visites/soins d’animaux s’intègrent naturellement à ma routine hebdomadaire. Mon horaire me laisse plusieurs moments flexibles pour des promenades et des visites à domicile, ce qui me permet d’être constante et fiable pour les repas, les sorties pipi, le jeu et la compagnie. Je m’adapte facilement à la routine de votre animal — que ce soit tôt le matin, sur l’heure du midi ou en soirée. Je prévois toujours une marge de manœuvre pour ne pas être pressée, et je communique clairement si jamais il y a un changement. Si vous avez un horaire précis, je ferai de mon mieux pour le respecter afin que votre compagnon reste calme et en confiance pendant votre absence. Safety and trust come first in every visit. In your home, I follow your routine closely so your pet feels secure and everything stays consistent. I’m calm, attentive, and always watching body language to prevent stress or risky situations. What you can expect: I follow your written instructions (food, treats, meds if applicable, leash rules, etc.) Careful leash handling + secure door/gate habits (no “door dashing”) I never allow off-leash time unless you’ve explicitly requested it and it’s in a fully enclosed, safe area I keep walks at your pet’s pace and avoid unsafe interactions with unknown dogs Cleanliness matters: fresh water, tidy bowls, and a quick cleanup of any accidents Clear communication: text updates + photos, and I’ll message you right away if anything seems off If care is in my home (when applicable), pets are supervised, kept separate from anything unsafe, and introduced slowly and safely if there are other animals. 🇫🇷 Français La sécurité et la confiance passent avant tout à chaque visite. Chez vous, je respecte la routine et vos consignes pour que votre animal se sente en sécurité et que tout reste stable. Je suis calme, attentive, et je surveille le langage corporel pour éviter le stress et les situations à risque. Ce que vous pouvez attendre de moi : Je suis vos consignes à la lettre (repas, gâteries, médication au besoin, règles de laisse, etc.) Gestion prudente de la laisse + habitudes sécuritaires aux portes/clôtures (anti “fugue”) Jamais de liberté sans laisse, sauf si vous l’avez demandé et que l’endroit est entièrement clôturé et sécuritaire Promenades au rythme de votre animal, en évitant les interactions risquées avec des chiens inconnus Propreté : eau fraîche, bols propres, et nettoyage rapide en cas d’accident Communication claire : textos + photos, et je vous écris immédiatement si quelque chose me semble anormal Si les soins se font chez moi (si applicable), les animaux sont supervisés, gardés loin de tout danger, et les présentations avec d’autres animaux se font lentement et de façon sécuritaire.
About: Ayant moi-même un pomsky avec beaucoup d’énergie, j’adore marcher avec elle plusieurs fois par jour. Je garde souvent les chiens de mes amis, et j’adore les chiens et la nature. J’ai un horaire flexible alors il me ferait plaisir d’aller faire marcher votre chien, avec ou sans mon chien dépendamment de ce que vous préférez :) Je peux venir à votre domicile pour venir promener votre chien, et même l’amener à la montagne si vous voulez. Nous pouvons se rencontrer au préalable pour planifier le tout :)
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.

“Lisette is a very vibrant and passionate sitter, and it really shows that she cares about what she does. Missy can be anxious when I leave and Lisette was gentle, attentive and affectionate with her, clearly took the time to make Missy feel comfortable and secure. I returned home to a calm and relaxed cat and a happy dog. I really appreciated the kindness she showed my pets and would gladly book with her again.”

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: I’ve had a soft spot for animals since I was young and loved helping care for my friends’s pets, gaining great experience with different kinds of animals. I also grew up with a Boxer/Lab mix, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. For the past two years, I’ve worked as a dog groomer assistant, where I’ve learned how to keep pets safe, comfortable, and gently handle unique dog characters. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and truly at home while you’re away — belly rubs and tail wags included! 🐶🐾 I work full-time, so I’m most available on weekends and before or after work hours. However, I’m happy to be flexible and make time for your pets whenever needed. I’m really attentive and love giving your pet lots of love and care. I’ll make sure they get plenty of potty breaks and time to stretch their legs. Whether your pet is at my place or yours, I keep things safe, clean, and cozy for them.
“Friendly, tidy, flexible, and responsive. Lindsay cared for our cats and dog while we were away. An unexpected issue had occurred with our return flights, which Lindsay was understanding and flexible with. She followed the instructions we left with regards to our pets, and tidied our apartment before we returned, which was very thoughtful! We recommend her, and would use her services again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu
Service exceptionnel du début à la fin ! 😊 Mes chiens ont été traités aux petits soins tout au long du week-end, et j'ai pu partir l'esprit complètement tranquille. On sent immédiatement son amour des animaux, son professionnalisme et son grand souci du détail. En plus d'avoir pris merveilleusement soin de mes chiens, elle a même pris le temps de faire un peu de ménage et de ranger avant son départ, une attention vraiment appréciée. Je suis plus que satisfait de son service et je referai affaire avec elle sans aucune hésitation. Je la recommande à 100 % à tous ceux qui recherchent une personne de confiance pour leurs compagnons à quatre pattes !
Valérie est venue garder à domicile 2 nuits. Faire garder quelqu’un qu’on ne connaît pas est toujours un peu stressant mais elle a sû nous mettre en confiance rapidement! Que de petites attentions que nous avons apprécié! Le souçis de ne pas vouloir nous déranger mais prend des photos durant la journée pour nous les envoyés lorsque nous lui demandons des nouvelles! Très belle communication et respect des consignes. Elle a chouchouter nos bébés comme nous le ferions. À son départ, tout était rangé et prêt pour notre retour. Nous referons certainement affaire avec elle!

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,085 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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-Jean-sur-Richelieu 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
