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: 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 :)

Florence was so good with Pancho! She asked questions about his routine, gave me really detailed updates after she left. She started to develop a nice relationship with him after just a few visits. Will definately keep contacting her for Pancho’s visits and walks. I know he is in great hands!

About: We've had 25 years of fun with our own dogs. I grew up around them as a kid, and I can't think of a time I have not been around them. We've raised them from puppies, and we've had some that have been rescued, but one thing is for sure is that we love them no matter where they're coming from. We would love to watch your pup, and have them hang out with our boy Hobbes. We have multiple parks around us, plenty of places to explore, and a great home to house them in. Let us know how we can be of service to you, and take care of your furry friend. We both work from home (Jonathan & Ashleigh) and our daughter (Kodee), have tons of flexibility, which gives us all plenty of opportunities to get out into the fresh air and explore. \\jonathan, ashleigh, et kodee Nous avons eu 25 ans de plaisir avec nos propres chiens. J'ai grandi avec eux quand j'étais enfant, et je ne peux pas penser à une époque où je n'ai pas été avec eux. Nous les avons élevés à partir de chiots, et certains d'entre eux ont été sauvés, mais une chose est sûre, c'est que nous les aimons peu importe d'où ils viennent. Nous serions ravis de regarder votre chiot et de le faire passer du temps avec notre pitou Hobbes. Nous avons plusieurs parcs autour de nous, de nombreux endroits à explorer et une belle maison pour les héberger. Faites-nous savoir comment nous pouvons vous être utiles et prendre soin de votre compagnon à quatre pattes. Nous travaillons tous les deux (Jonathan et Ashleigh) à domicile puis notre fille aussi (Kodee), avons une grande flexibilité, ce qui nous donne de nombreuses opportunités de sortir à l'air frais et d'explorer. Pet care fits naturally into our daily rhythm. Since we both work from home, we're able to give plenty of attention throughout the day...whether it’s a morning walk by the river, playtime in the afternoon, or a quiet cuddle in the evening. Our three teenagers are also involved and love spending time with animals, so there’s always someone ready for a walk, a game of fetch, or just to hang out and offer some affection. Caring for pets isn’t something we have to “make time” for it’s something we genuinely enjoy and have built into how our family lives day to day. Prendre soin des animaux fait naturellement partie de notre quotidien. Comme nous travaillons tous les deux de la maison, nous avons la chance d’être présents et disponibles tout au long de la journée. Que ce soit pour une marche matinale au bord du fleuve, un moment de jeu en après-midi, ou une séance de câlins tranquille en soirée, il y a toujours un moment pour leur accorder de l’attention. Nos trois ados participent aussi avec joie aux soins. Ils adorent passer du temps avec les animaux, donc il y a toujours quelqu’un prêt pour une balade, une partie de lancer de balle, ou juste pour donner un peu d’affection. Ce n’est pas quelque chose qu’on doit "planifier", c’est une partie naturelle et précieuse de notre mode de vie familial. Chez nous, on prend soin des chiens comme s’ils faisaient partie de la famille, parce que pendant qu’ils sont ici, c’est exactement ce qu’ils sont. À la maison, cela veut dire beaucoup d’amour, d’attention, et un environnement calme où votre chien peut se sentir en sécurité et pleinement accueilli. Les promenades, les jeux et les câlins font partie de notre routine. On fait aussi attention aux besoins particuliers de chaque animal, que ce soit pour des médicaments, un horaire de repas spécifique ou tout simplement un peu plus de douceur et de patience. Avec Hobbes, qui pesait 115 livres, c’était important pour nous qu’il soit bien éduqué, confiant et à l’aise dans différents environnements. Il devait pouvoir interagir doucement avec un tout-petit autant que marcher calmement à mes côtés. Cela fait longtemps que nous vivons aux côtés de ces compagnons à quatre pattes. Avec les années, on a appris à comprendre leur langage, à les observer, à bâtir une relation basée sur la confiance. Savoir comment les entraîner, comment bien communiquer avec eux, ça a changé et enrichi notre manière de vivre avec nos chiens. On croit beaucoup au renforcement positif, à la structure et à la douceur. Chaque chien est unique, et on prend le temps de s’adapter à ses besoins, pour qu’il se sente aimé, respecté et à sa place avec nous. Quand on prend soin d’un animal dans sa propre maison, on fait tout pour garder ses repères. On suit vos consignes avec attention, pour que votre chien se sente aussi bien que possible, dans un environnement familier, avec une présence calme et bienveillante. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We care for pets like they’re part of the family, because while they’re with us, they are. In our home, that means lots of love, attention, and a calm environment where your dog can feel safe and included. Walks, playtime, and snuggles are all part of the routine. We’re mindful of each pet’s specific needs, whether it's medication, a certain feeding schedule, or just extra patience and space. With Hobbes, who was 115 pounds, it was important to make sure he could be out in the world and feel confident, calm, and well-behaved. He needed to be able to love on a toddler just as gently as he walked beside someone my size. We've been partnering with these four-legged companions for a long time. Over the years, we’ve learned how to read their behavior and respond in ways that build trust. Understanding how to train and communicate with them has helped us build deeper, healthier relationships with our pups. We believe in positive reinforcement, structure, and kindness. Every dog is different, and we take time to learn what works best for each one so they feel secure, loved, and at home with us. If we're caring for your pet in their own home, we work to keep their routine as familiar as possible. We follow your instructions closely and make sure your pup feels safe, respected, and cared for, wherever we are.

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: I truly love animals and have always had a strong connection with them. I used to have two small dogs — one of them was a Cocker Spaniel who sadly passed away a few years ago, after months of effort and care to try to save him. I still have another little boy, but he’s far from me right now and I miss him deeply. Taking care of your pet would mean a lot to me — I’ll give them the same love, affection, and gentle care I gave my own. I’ll treat your furry friend like one of my own little companions. i have available time and i’m free in weekends i hope you trust me. Cuddle them and provide their meals with care. i love pets I’ll try to become their friend, pet them to ease their loneliness, make sure they eat properly, and play with them a lot.thanks for your trust

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Saint-Joseph-du-Lac

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 1,668 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Saint-Joseph-du-Lac. About 83% of Saint-Joseph-du-Lac 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.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available during your working hours. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

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-Joseph-du-Lac 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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-Joseph-du-Lac 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.

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.

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.
