Vlanie s'est occupée de Mr.Truffle lors deux deux soirées consecutives, tout s'est admirablement bien passé! J'ai eu droit a plusieurs photos & updates pendant son gardiennage! Elle est douée avec les animaux, sans aucun doite. Elle les aimes & elle est, bien evidemment, aimé en retour! Super reconnaissante de son service

Rémy was seriously amazing! I have a large dog with high energy, whom can be quite a handful but he was great with her. He sent me so many photos and was super communicative, and followed my instructions to a T. I will definitely be rebooking him in the future and I’d recommend him to anyone who wants to leave their babies in good care. Thank you Rémy!

About: Bonjour! Je m'appelle Elle et je suis gardienne d'animaux à temps plein. Certifiée par la Croix-Rouge en premiers soins pour les chats et les chiens, je peux administrer des médicaments par voie orale au besoin. J'offre des promenades pour chiens, des visites à domicile, des visites pour chiots et la pension dans un environnement calme, sans fumée et accueillant pour les animaux. Je limite mes réservations afin d'offrir à chaque compagnon une attention personnalisée, une supervision attentive et des nouvelles avec photos. Mon objectif est qu'il se sente en sécurité, heureux et aimé pendant votre absence. Hi! I’m Elle, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pet loves long walks, quiet companionship, playtime, or simply sticking to their normal routine, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including administering medications when needed, and I’m Red Cross Certified in Cats & Dogs First Aid. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always come first. I intentionally keep my bookings small so every pet receives personalized attention instead of being one of many. You’ll also receive regular photo updates and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I look forward to meeting both you and your furry family member! Pet care is my full-time focus, which allows me to provide flexible scheduling and plenty of one-on-one attention. Whether you need regular weekday walks, drop-in visits while you’re at work, or care during weekends and holidays, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I intentionally keep my bookings limited so every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. La garde d'animaux est mon activité à temps plein, ce qui me permet d'offrir un horaire flexible ainsi qu'une attention personnalisée à chaque compagnon. Que vous ayez besoin de promenades régulières en semaine, de visites à domicile pendant vos heures de travail ou de services les fins de semaine et les jours fériés, je ferai de mon mieux pour m'adapter à votre horaire. Je limite volontairement le nombre de réservations afin que chaque animal reçoive le temps, l'attention et les soins qu'il mérite. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special care instructions before every booking. My home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with one friendly resident cat. I only accept a small number of pets at a time to provide individualized care and close supervision. During walks and visits, I follow your instructions carefully, use secure leashing practices, and provide regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m also Red Cross Certified in Cats & Dogs First Aid and comfortable administering medications when needed.

I can’t recommend her enough! She watched my dogs while I was away in Toronto, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and caring with them, and it was clear she genuinely loves animals. She kept me updated, made sure all of their needs were met, and treated them as if they were her own. When I came home, my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It’s not always easy leaving your pets behind, but she made the entire experience stress-free. I would absolutely trust her to watch my dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and responsible pet sitter. 🫶🏾🫶🏾

Madeleine and Fred took to each other immediately, making me feel incredibly at ease with leaving them together for a couple of hours! Madeleine's bubbly, animated, and friendly personality is particularly endearing, and her can-do attitude makes me confident in knowing that Fred is being left in good/capable hands! Would 10/10 rebook!

Maha was absolutely wonderful with my kitten, Leo. This was my first time leaving him with a sitter, so I was a little nervous, but she made the entire experience completely stress free. She sent me photos and updates throughout the day without me even having to ask, which was so reassuring. It honestly felt like I was still there with him. Every picture showed how happy, comfortable, and relaxed he was with her. She was kind, patient, reliable, and clearly genuinely cares about animals. She even stayed a little longer when I was running late getting home, which I really appreciated. I came home to a very happy and relaxed kitten, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would trust Maha with Leo again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!

About: Over the past 7 months, I got the opportunity to do +14 housesits all over the beautiful city of Montreal, taking care of cats and dogs (and a lizzard and a rat). I truly enjoy getting to know all the different and unique characters. 🐾 Some couldn't wait to go for walks - others loved a little encouragement to keep going. From tiny dogs to a 55kg/120lb good boy. The youngest dog just turned 1 year, the oldest 15, the oldest cat 21 years old. 🥹 I am also amazed by the variety of beauty of all the different cats I got to know. Through this variety of pets, I also gained experience in giving cats and dogs supplements and medication (oral and in-ear). On my past travels I also helped a family in Pakistan with their cows and goats, and a family in Wadi Rum, Jordan, to feed their camels. It was such a beautiful experience - though I wouldn't say I am ready to care of them all by myself. 😄🐐🐪 I also took care of some puppies and kittens in the past. I am aware that this is a (rewarding) full time job. So I could only agree on that after having talked about the situation in detail. I am currently attending Language School, the classes are 1-4pm in downtown. Apart from that I work only, which gives me a lot of freedom in regards to time. I love to take longer walks, and it's even more fun with some furry companion. I also enjoy playing with cats and dogs - it's so much fun to know their unique characters. One thing is for sure: There is no cat or dog like another. I would love to take care of your pet in its known environment, which is why I offer housesits at the owner's place. I also enjoy exploring new neighborhoods. :)

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and have loved animals since I was a little girl! I used to want to be a vet, but then I realized there’s too much sadness in that job so I decided to be a musician instead. I am a great fit for pet sitting because I will treat your pet like my own. I will provide many cuddles and play as your pet would like, and we can go on as many walks as possible! I am a trustworthy and responsible young woman with lots of energy for fun! I am a freelancer, meaning I can honestly work around your schedule. I’m not picky about when you need me, more so just how much notice I have! I can devote my full day to taking care of your pet :) I live in a no smoking, no yelling, pet friendly environment. My house is super cozy, and my two roommates and animal lovers! I will make sure your pet has the best care possible, and you can trust I will keep them safe and loved as if they were my own.

We had a fantastic experience with Valentina! She took such great care of our pets—lots of playtime, attention, and love. It was clear they were comfortable and happy with her. She also went above and beyond around the house, keeping everything tidy and even helping out with our backyard plants. Valentina kept us updated throughout our trip with regular pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind about both the pets and the house. Highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!

About: Les chiens ont toujours occupé une place importante dans ma vie. La seule raison pourquoi j'ai mis 1 année d'expérience c'est parce que je n'ai pas mon propre chien, cependant j'ai toujours aimé les chiens, étant plus jeune je m'occupais aussi des chiens de mes amis. Je suis une personne calme, responsable et à l'écoute des besoins de chaque animal. Je prendrai soin de votre compagnon comme s'il était le mien, en lui offrant de l'attention, des promenades adaptées, des jeux et beaucoup d'affection. Je comprends l'importance de la confiance lorsqu'on confie son animal, et je m'engage à vous donner des nouvelles et des photos pour que vous soyez rassuré pendant votre absence. Je suis en ce moment au chômage donc j'ai beaucoup de temps pour m'occuper des chiens. Je suis disponible en tout temps, sauf le matin de 9h, midi car je vais au gym J'ai toujours une énergie calme et positive. Je m'y connais bien en comportement canin alors je saurais m'occuper et calmer votre chien au besoin. Je m'en occuperai comme si c'était le mien

About: J'adore les animaux. Je suis une personne qui a toujours eu une facilité à connecter avec eux encore plus particulièrement avec les chiens. Je suis à l'aise avec les chiens de toutes les tailles. J'ai eu mon premier chien à 10 ans, un chien de petite taille qui s'appelait Rex. Mon deuxième était un chien de large taille, Bud. Je suis conscient que les animaux sont des êtres sensibles à leur environnement c'est pour cette raison que je m'assure de leur offrir une présence calme et confiante. J'ai beaucoup d'expérience avec les chiens réactifs et je sais comment rédiger leur attention de manière positive au besoin. Je suis une personne patiente et je comprends que chaque animal peut être a un différend stade dans son apprentissage. Je suis prête a offrir des services qui font en sorte que votre animal reçoit un entraînement constant, en accord avec votre approche. Le respect est une valeur importante à mes yeux, c'est pour cette raison que je m'assure de respecter vos disponibilités et d'offrir une flexibilité pour les imprévus. I love animals. I’ve always had a natural ability to connect with them, especially dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I got my first dog when I was 10—a small dog named Rex. My second dog was a large breed named Bud. I understand that animals are sensitive to their environment, which is why I make sure to provide them with a calm and confident presence. I have experience with reactive dogs and know how to redirect their attention in a positive way when needed. I am a patient person and understand that every animal is at a different stage in their learning process. I am ready to provide services that ensure your pet receives consistent training, in line with your approach. Respect is an important value to me, which is why I make sure to respect your schedule and offer flexibility for the unexpected. I work full time therefore I'm available after 5pm until midnight from Monday to Friday. I have a clear schedule on Saturday's and Sunday's. I'm available to do overnight house sitting from Friday to Saturday and Saturday to Sunday. Je travaille à temps plein ; je suis donc disponible du lundi au vendredi, de 17 h à minuit. Je suis libre le samedi et le dimanche. Je suis disponible pour prendre soin de votre animal chez vous pendant les nuit du vendredi au samedi et du samedi au dimanche. Je m'occuperai de votre animal en lui faisant faire de l'exercice et en le sortant pour qu'il fasse ses besoins. Je sais m'adapter aux besoins de votre animal en matière d'exercice et de stimulation mentale. Je sais bien que certaines races sont très actives, tandis que d'autres sont plus calmes. I will care for you pet by giving them exercise and letting them out to go potty. I can adapt your pets needs when it come to exercise and mental stimulations. I understand that some breeds are highly driven while other are more relaxed.

About: I grew up with pets, dogs cats turtles chicks rabbit Guinée pigs ect….i Raised a few puppies and i don’t believe they should be caged so it’s a condition for me they need to learn to behave like a child No cages. I’m newly retired and I have a Little Dashun 4 years old who follows me everywhere I go. We are very socialised and love to play. I’m very protective of my animal compagnon I care for their safety and well being . Like to give them freedom as long as it is safe. Alimentation is the key and excercise off course is crucial for their health.

About: I genuinely love caring for dogs. My friends and family members rely on me to take care of their pet either while they're at work or on vacation. I host and care for your pet with the love I would have for my own, and keep them stimulated and active throughout the day! I live in a large 5 1/2 apartment in a very pet-friendly and walkable neighbourhood. I'm currently only working part-time, from home, on my own schedule. I'll have plenty of time to keep your pet engaged, stimulated, and active throughout the day and evening. They won't have time to miss you! If you want a place to drop-off your companion: I live in a large apartment near street level, on a quiet residential street. If you prefer your pet stay at home: my flexible schedule and my remote work allow me to stick around or pop-in whenever needed.

Rémy was seriously amazing! I have a large dog with high energy, whom can be quite a handful but he was great with her. He sent me so many photos and was super communicative, and followed my instructions to a T. I will definitely be rebooking him in the future and I’d recommend him to anyone who wants to leave their babies in good care. Thank you Rémy!

I had a great experience with Catherine and strongly recommend her to anyone wanting peace of mind that their pet is well taken care while being away. I have a super anxious & spicy cat who does not tolerate change/strangers, she usually hides and starves herself until her routine is restored. Catherine was very patient and mindful of all the instructions I left her, she became a cat whisperer to my Koko in no time! She ate normally and even started comfortably hanging out in Catherine’s vicinity. Communication was great and I received regular updates, including fun videos of Catherine sweet talking her into relaxing. Needless to say this was such a relief as a worried cat mama being all the way across the ocean. I warmly recommend Catherine’s services for any of your pet-sitting needs!

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint-Léonard

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Saint-Léonard on Rover is $49.95 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 1,147 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint-Léonard. 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-Léonard 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-Léonard 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-Léonard 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:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% 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.
