“Juliette a été une très bonne gardienne pour Molly. Molly semblait très heureuse à mon retour et en pleine forme. Juliette a également laissé ma maison très propre, ce que j’ai beaucoup apprécié. Elle répondait rapidement chaque fois que je lui écrivais et les nouvelles qu’elle me donnait étaient toujours rassurantes. Elle a aussi eu la gentillesse de rentrer mes colis pendant mon absence, dont un meuble assez lourd, ce que j’ai beaucoup apprécié. Merci beaucoup Juliette d’avoir pris soin de ma petite Molly ! 😊”
“We had a great experience with Samuel! He looked after Pepette and Maasai for an evening, and everything went smoothly. Samuel is friendly, reliable, and caring. We were able to enjoy our evening knowing our two dogs were in good hands. We would happily book with him again and definitely recommend him!”
“Ekaterina a été super avec notre chien ! Elle est douce, bienveillante et attentionnée aux besoins de notre animal ! Elle garde toujours son calme malgré notre gros coco anxieux! Elle envoie des nouvelles et des photos ! Je recommande fortement 😇”
About: I am experienced and comfortable with pets of all shapes and sizes. I've been been told I am the dog whisperer, and am the go to dog walker and pet sitter for my friends. I have also cared for numerous cats over the years. I take great care to introduce myself to new animals slowly and at their pace. Nothing makes me happier than making a new furry friend, so whatever that takes I am willing to do. I am experienced with dogs small, large, and everything in-between. I love dogs in all stages of life, but have an especially soft spot for senior dogs. I am very experienced with senior dog care, as my beloved Buffy spent the last 2 years of her life with reduced mobility and increased needs. I'm very happy to move at their pace, or even pull them around in Buffy's wagon. I also have experience working with reactive dogs and managing their needs to ensure they have the best experiences possible. Every dog deserves to be met where they are and have access to enriching and fun activities. My schedule is very flexible. I am located on the Plateau and have a vehicle so I am happy to travel and get to wherever you are. My current apartment unfortunately does not allow pets, so I am unable to board, but I live near Parc Lafontaine, have a vehicle, and I am happy to travel to your pets.
About: Hello everyone :) My name is Kasey and I love animals! Throughout my childhood I loved getting the opportunity to take care of other people pets. In my neighbourhood, I was known as the dog walker from the time I was 7. This is because I loved spending time with my neighbors dogs. If I saw a loose dog, I’d go door to door until I found the owner. Growing up, I didn’t have a dog, but I still got to experience having a dog through my family and friends. I’ve also has the opportunity to volunteer for dog walking at a shelter, which was sooo much fun! I do have cats that I love with my whole heart! I throughly enjoy spending time with pets and grooming them! I’ve groomed cats and dogs and I love it! I have so much respect and love for dogs and cats, so I would be honoured to spend time with your pet! Sincerely, Kasey https://www.rover.com/sit/kaseyh06158
“Naïla took amazing care of our cat Tonks while we were away for 4 days! When we came home, Tonks was calm, happy, and purring away, a testament to the tenderness, presence, and attentiveness Naïla showed during her visits. Naïla has taken care of our dog and cat many times now, and we trust her wholeheartedly.”

I take care of my senior cat at home, i’ve had her since i was 11 years old! She is a spoiled brat haha! But i take care of her with my life!
“Mariane took great care of our two dogs and cat while we were away for 11 days! She sent photos and checked in with us. A couple of our neighborhood friends saw our girls out for a walk with Mariane and let me know how patient she was with them! We felt they were in great hands. She also left our place in great condition upon our return. We had a great experience and recommend her services!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and volunteered at an animal shelter, caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments with patience and care. I work 100% remotely, which allows me to be flexible and fully present for the dogs and cats I care for throughout the day. I’m available weekdays and weekends, and can easily adapt. I prioritize pets’ safety and comfort. Whether at my home or yours, I follow routines, keep a clean, calm, and secure environment, and provide gentle, attentive care with regular updates.
“Hiba was very attentive and caring for Boozer while we were out. She was so accommodating and was understanding about some concerns we had (a very scary experience with another Rover care giver). She put us at ease, and was a pleasure to work with, we would highly recommend her services! Thank you Hiba!”
“Karolina did a FANTASTIC job looking after our puppy Maple for the week. She’s excellent and provided updates, photos and we love having her puppy-sit Maple 🍁 thank you! ☺️”
About: Hello! My name is Maria and I am 25 years old. I’ve lived in Montreal for 6 years now and I have moved a lot through my life. But something that stays the same is that I always have pets with me. I am an animal lover and my passion for taking care of them has been consistent all my life. Since I was a little kid I wanted to be a veterinarian and living in tropical countries like Costa Rica and Dominican Republic gave me unique experiences with different kinds of animals but the same love and care has always been present for all species. I have had pets all my life, ranging from small dogs like cockers spaniels to bigger ones like Rottweilers and German Sheperds and other pets like cats and hamsters. The love for animals has been passed by my parents and it’s a core value in our family, my mother rescued cats all her life and I share the same passion (my little black cat named Sypha on my profile picture is a rescue). I currently have a cat, as mentioned earlier and I would give my kidney for him and you can expect the same kind of love and care for your pets. I have great attention to detail, I’m very organized and will take care of your pets the way they need to be cared for, weather it is going for walks, taking medication on schedule or completing weird little rituals that make them feel loved and safe. Just let me know what they need! I usually work part time so I have a lot of availabilities for your pets! I start work at 11 and finish at 5pm from Monday to Thursday, so I can drop by before and after my shift! However, I am on vacation for a month until October 12th, so I can dedicate myself full time to your furry babies! At home, your pets will stay inside at all times except for when going on walks or potty! Your pets will never be unsupervised. I will keep them on leash and balcony time will also be supervised although it is also secured/ pet proof
“It was a very good experience. At first we had a communication problem, but we resolved it quickly, and during her entire stay she kept sending me many photos, and you can see the love she has for animals. Without a doubt I will contact her again for future services. Very recommended for taking care of our pets.”

I make my own schedule and have loads of time in my week to help you out! I’m good with instructions and will always follow what you want me to do with your fur baby. I understand that they are your child and the most unconditional love you’ve ever had so I will always take good care of them!
About: What truly sets me apart is my genuine, lifelong passion for both dogs and cats, combined with a meticulous and responsible approach.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint-Lambert
Chrissy was great! She came over to my house to take care of my 5 month old puppy, she was super caring and followed all my instructions carefully. She sent me updates, pictures and all. Amazing vibes, would definitely recommend Chrissy to take care of your pets!
Benito et Belinda 🐱🐱 ont eu le plaisir de se faire garder par Audrey. Elle est incroyable avec les chats, patiente et à l'écoute de leur besoin. À notre retour, notre appartement était impeccable. Je recommende ses services à 100%. On a passé de belles vacances avec une tranquilité d'esprit.
I had a great experience with Maëlle! She took such great care of Blue, including taking her on nice, long walks and keeping me updated throughout the entire stay. We met beforehand to make sure she and Blue got along, which gave me peace of mind. When I came home, my place was even tidied up! She was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared for Blue very well. I would definitely book with her again! 🐾💕
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Betsy while I was away. From the very beginning, Janelle was warm, caring, responsible, and so attentive to Betsy’s needs. She kept me updated with photos and videos, which meant so much to me and gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious from the happy, playful, engaged Betsy I saw in those updates that she was comfortable, loved, and very well cared for. Janelle was also wonderful about following all of Betsy’s routines and little quirks. I came home to a happy, healthy little dog—and that says everything. I’m incredibly grateful to Janelle for taking such wonderful care of my little girl. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet. Thank you, Janelle, for giving me such peace of mind and for treating Betsy with so much love and care. ❤️
Jazmine provided absolute peace of mind while we were away! She stayed overnight at our place and took incredible care of our pet. We received regular photo updates, the communication was flawless. Our pet was completely relaxed and happy when we returned. We highly recommend her services and will absolutely book again.
I couldn't be happier with Sara's service. She was incredibly sweet and attentive to our furry babies, taking perfect care of my sick ferret and his cat sister and sending daily updates. She made me feel calm being away from my sick baby. I definitely recommend her and will book with her again if she's available 😊
Maha is a great communicator and I felt very at ease having her watch my scaredy cat. Sent lots of pictures and gave me lots of updates and went above and beyond keeping the space clean for when we got home! Thank you for taking out the genie trash! Definitely hiring again and again!
Angela is the best! Super attentive to the pups and very responsive. She was also flexible and accommodating when I needed to shift my travel plans last minute due to flight delays. She sent constant updates of the pups and took care of them as if they were her own. I’d highly recommend booking with her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Saint-Lambert 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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-Lambert 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-Lambert 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, a background 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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
