“Emily et Nicholas ont été des gardiens absolument remarquables. Ils se sont occupés de mes animaux avec beaucoup d’attention, y compris de mon jeune chien de grande taille qui demande des sorties régulières et une bonne dose d’énergie. Tout s’est déroulé à merveille : ils ont su gérer son rythme, ses besoins et lui offrir une présence rassurante. En plus de cela, ma maison était impeccable à mon retour. Ils ont fait preuve de sérieux, de respect et d’un grand sens des responsabilités. Je me suis sentie en totale confiance du début à la fin. Je les recommande sans hésitation à quiconque cherche des gardiens fiables, attentionnés et professionnels.”

Rest assured that no matter the length of my visit, I stay with your pet the entire time. I had a wonderful cat, Archie, who taught me how to properly and carefully administer medication and become very attuned to animals needs through body language and non-verbal communication. My family has always had bull breed dogs that I loved and cared for. I also had a frog, Fern, who lived a long and healthy life and reached 24 years old!

“Amira was absolutely fantastic. Our moody chihuahua took to her right away and she did great giving our senior boxer all the meds he needed with a last minute injury. She kept him happy even when his activity was low. Pups loved her and can’t recommend her enough. Lovers of pictures and updates throughout our trip.”

About: I am used to take care of dogs since I was a child. My family and friends let me in charge of them everytime they need. I have taking care of all kind of breeds in Colombia and Canada. I work from home with a flexible schedule that allows me to take them outside several times a day. I will be capable to stay next to them the whole time assuring they play and walk as they pleased or need. We don't have any pets at the moment, all our love will be just for yours. They always have a comfortable space to lay down and rest as they need. I live in a big open space that allow me to watch them with care.

About: I grew up with animals in the home and I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience! I also have the energy levels to keep up with even the highest energy dogs. Aside from a few hours during the week, I work from home. I can adjust my schedule for the most part to ensure every pets needs are met. I live in an apartment with plenty of nearby parks to take them to play. My building is very safe when it comes to other animals being well behaved. I also don't take on multiple pets so your pet will receive all the attention it needs. When I'm pet sitting in your home I like to follow a similar routine to what your pet is used to. In terms of eating, playtime, going to the bathroom etc. That way while you're away they feel more comfortable and safe.

About: Pet care experience: "I've worked professionally as a dog walker and groomer at a boarding facility for several years, caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. Over 14 years, I've handled everything from high-energy puppies to anxious seniors, including leash training, bathing, nail trims, and medication administration. I'm active, attentive, and treat every dog like my own — with plenty of exercise, playtime, and calm routines. Owners get regular photo updates and can trust their pup is in capable, caring hands I work full-time Monday–Thursday, so I'm available for evening care, overnight boarding, and weekend sitting. Fridays I'm off, and weekends I'm fully available for dogs needing active play, multiple walks, and consistent routines. I can occasionally adjust my schedule with advance notice, but my best availability is Friday–Sunday. I live 100m from a park where dogs get multiple daily walks and active playtime. My dog is extremely friendly, well-behaved, and great with other dogs and cats, she's the perfect calm companion for social pups. I'm experienced with behavioral management, crate training, and keeping anxious or high-energy dogs comfortable. All dogs are leashed outside, and I keep emergency vet info on hand. Your dog's safety, exercise, and comfort are my top priorities.
“Very helpful and caring person to trust your pup! Willing to accommodate what is best and very nice and warm approach. Got many pictures and updates. Definitely worth the experience and will book again!”

About: I have had doggies my whole life and since my last darling passed, I have been a foster Mom and boarder to many! I adore doggies and have a huge yard and heart to match! I support many online charities that save and care for refuge doggies! I was also a caregiver for my senior Mom in her latter years, so patience and love come naturally to me. I am retired so home all day and love having doggies to share the house! I also share the house with a friend so we are both available for walkings etc. I have a huge yard that is partially fenced-in to allow doggies to run and "do their business" throughout the day outside of regular walk times.
“Manon a pris grand soin de Boogie, elle lui a appris des nouveaux tours, a tenté d'améliorer sa réactivité et elle a joué avec lui. Manon a aussi administré les médicaments et a fait vivre des belles nouvelles expériences à Boogie. Dès qu'on la rencontre, on voit qu'elle a le tour avec les chiens et qu'elle les adore ! Nous avons reçu des nouvelles et des photos pendant notre voyage ce qui a été très apprécié. J'ai été en confiance avec Manon, elle est d'une spontanéité accueillante et déborde d'énergie. Et elle est aussi très respectueuse de la maison, à notre retour c'était impeccable! Merci Manon!”
“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.”
About: I learn without having any expectations, I do my best every chance I get and I don’t take anything personally. I thank God for the opportunity to serve others, including our small hairy friends! On my free time I work for a transport/moving company and I am currently on call. So when I’m not pet sitting I help people either move into their new home or help companies transfer office spaces. As fickle as love is, it is the best approach to caring for pets. I play it by ear and accommodate each pet differently based on their needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,106 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint-Joseph-du-Lac. 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-Joseph-du-Lac 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-Joseph-du-Lac 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-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!
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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% 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.
