House Sitting in Saint-Lazare

About: Cats are more my specialty as I've had them in my life since I was 8 years old, but I also have experience with dogs through dog sitting and walking services. I am currently studying part-time so my availability is quite free and open to petsit, walk, and play with your beloved cat or dog weekly! I live in an apartment without a backyard and have 2 cats who are not the mostly friendly to cats or dogs, so I do not offer boarding or daycare services.

“Megan was an amazing cat sitter during our long trip (30 days+). She took great care of our two cats, and provided updates with pictures. One of our cats had a new medical condition develop during the trip and she promptly noticed, let us know and took him to the veterinary to address the issue. She was extremely present and responsive during this stressful time. We appreciate her work so much and would recommend her to anyone! Thank you Megan, we will never forget your help during our time away.”

About: I worked in a pet hotel for over 10 years. I've been called a dog whisperer as I'm able to help shy and scared dogs come out of their shells. I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember, I would bring strays home when I was very young and work in dog rescue. I'm currently from home so I have a very flexible schedule and can work around what my client needs at the time they need catsitting. I have a fenced in yard and my own fur child to keep your pet company. I have crates and seperate spaces your dog can feel comfortable in if they would not like to sleep in the master bedroom with me and my dog. I can set up a playpen area anywhere they're comfortable and put their bed/crate in a number of different locations depending on what they're used to/more comfortable with.

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. I am used to take care of pets and babies, always been aware of the silent and mysterious moments (lol)

“Emily and Nicholas were amazing taking care of our 3 cats and home for 2 weeks. Cats were super happy and we came home to a sparkling clean home. Will definitely book them again”

About: I've been talking care of all types of animals since as far back as I can remember. I've had fish, geckos, crabs, and dogs, as well as interned and volunteered at veterinary clinics. I've even done dog photography! Neighbors, friends, and families have relied on me to walk and feed their pets numerous times. I love, care for, and respect all animals. I currently have two dogs and a pet gecko! Rover is currently my full-time job. I am available every day and most hours of the day. My day to day schedule is generally flexible and uninterrupted In my home I have three pets who are very well-loved, fed and exercised daily, as well as hours of play time and interaction. In all my services, I aim to treat and care for pets as my own as well as abiding by the rules and concerns of their parents.

About: I have a soothing and calming energy that dogs feel right away. I enjoy seeing dogs get their exercise and brings me joy to see them being happy. I am currently available during business hours, however I can be flexible as long I have 1-2 days notice to accommodate your request. Weekends can vary. I am currently provding dog walking and dog sitting at your home. Feel free to reach out to me for a meet and greet and for any questions.

About: My goal for when taking care of others animals is to make sure they’re comfortable and feel like they’re part of the family while their family is away. I’ve been surrounded by dogs and animals my entire life. Ive had many dogs as well and trained them myself. I’m now a certified trainer as I love the challenge it brings. If there is another animal such as, bunnies, rats, lizards, ferrets, etc… I’ve taken care of them all and more! Provide me with the info as to what animal needs to be cared for and I’m sure I can take them in. ***( All animals I have at home are use to different types of animals. You can rest easy knowing they will not be bothered by my animals if they’re not use to them)*** Je parle aussi français For the most part I’m at home Monday through Sunday. Friday, Saturday & Sunday I’m out for three hours in the morning working. Potty breaks are always available:) I have a puppy and a cat. Treats and love are always available. If there are any food allergies I’m use to this, it’s not a problem. If they need a bath I’m happy to do so ☺️ I make homemade treats but I always ask when I meet with you if they can have them.

About: I've worked with many puppies and dogs including my own. I love working with puppies and helping them learn new tricks, as well as older fur babies that like a slower pace. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule which means your pets can get lots of undivided attention, playtime and walks, and will never be unattended. I recently moved from Toronto to the Montreal region. I'm happy and excited to bring my services to a new community of pet lovers! I only offer house sitting and dog walking at the moment since I no longer have my own space, however I’m certain your pets will greatly appreciate being in an environment they are comfortable in and familiar with while you take a break! Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby! 🤗 I promise you will get all the best pictures to send to friends and family!

About: Me and my partner Maude have a lovely 2 year old rescue dog. Her name is Jane and she is a wonderful dog! I would love for her to make friends with your dog. Before that my family had an american eskimo whose name was Chinook while growing up and currently have a bichin shih tzu named Zooey. I have taken care of lots of friends dogs over the years from just taking them out for a mid day walk to boarding them at our place for weeks. I also grew up always having cats! I love animals and although I have lots to learn I will treat your pet with respect and be on time and organized to have build successful relationships with them! Im currently working for McGill experimental seed farm. This creates for my schedule to be very flexible and I am home lots during the nights and weekends to respond to any pet needs! I care for pets in my home with love and care. We have a homd with a fenced in green space that we use for our dog. We would only be able to board 1 dog at a time (unless for some circumstances). We are located close to lots of green space and hikes in Rigaud so lots of walks would happen! How I would care for pets at clients homes is really up to them. I do not want to disrupt routines that the pet has become accustom to and can adapt to any environment and client need. This also transfers over to my home, and if certain rules need to be followed to not bring back bad behaviour, thay can easily be done!

“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!”

“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!”

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 :)
