Vlanie took great care of our 3 year old Chihuahua. We had clear communications and she sent reassuring updates. We also appreciated a meet and greet with her before the actual dog and house sitting took place. We will definitely book again with Vlanie.

Melissa a été très douce et à l'écoute des besoins de mon petit chien particulier! Elle a aussi très bien respecté l'heure de rencontre, même 10 minutes en avance. Elle est prête, habituée et pose de très bonne question pour bien connaître le chien ainsi que ces habitudes. Elle a aussi demandé en cas d'urgence qui contacté et quel vétérinaire/ugrence prioriser. Très sécurisant. Elle coprend bien l'importance de la routine du chien et n'essaie pas de la changer, ce qui est très bien lorsque tu es un maître d'un chien anxieux. Elle s'est bien présentée aussi, ce qui a donné une rencontre douce et calme entre mon chien et elle. Je recommanderai n'important quand! Merciiiii Melissa!!

Heather stayed with my dog, Little Koopa, and my 15 year old cat, Pesto, for 4 days while we were on vacations. Little Koopa is a rescue dog from Beyrouth with the intelligence of the Belgian Malinois and all the anxieties and fears that comes with being abandonned and living in the streets. This was the first time in 5 years that I had left her with someone she didn’t know. During the Meet and Greet, Heather took a lot of notes and asked very pertinent questions about the routines and the particularities of my two animals. She is very observant, very knowlegeable and respectful of animals. During our vacations she sent a lot of pictures and reports on how they were doing and the evolution of their behaviors as time was passing. I was worried about how Little K would react because she is so extremely attached to me (and vice-versa). The first night Heather woke up because Little K was crying…she got up, sat and comforted her with pets and gentle music for an hour!! She also noticed how Little K would feel much better after a walk so she took her out for walks more frequently. Heather gave me peace of mind to enjoy my 4 day vacation without feeling guilty knowing that my pets were in safe, caring and loving hands. She is also a gem personnality wise with a very happy and positive demeanor as well as an inquiring, intelligent mind. Her face is litteraly a smile and you can tell it is born from the inside of her being. I could not have hoped to have a better person to pet-sit. She is truly a gem! She also left my place cleaner than it was when I left. Thank you so much Heather for taking such good care of my precious buddies and for allowing us to take advantage of our vacations with no worries.❤️

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!

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: 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.

​Angela looked after Cosmo and Neumos for the first part of our vacation. Despite her young age, she showed incredible maturity—she was polite, proactive, and always kept us in the loop with regular updates. She had no prior experience with a megaesophagus condition, but she stepped up to the challenge and managed his routine flawlessly. We highly recommend her!

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: Feel free to contact me directly at - emilyaarkell @ gmail .com - for cheaper rates on my services! I grew up with an amazing dog and have enjoyed taking care of friends, family and neighbours dogs since I was 12 years old. I have a passion for dogs, so I enjoy making sure all of their needs are met. I have a flexible schedule that allows for lots of playtime, walks, and bathroom breaks throughout the day and evening. You can trust me to take great care of your pets while you’re away! I’m currently working part time from home so my schedule is very flexible. I’m normally available throughout the week and weekends. I can adapt for last minute pet care needs. I usually take between 1-3 pets at a time. I allow dogs to move freely in my home. I don’t have any pets of my own so all of my home is open to your pets. I have several parks nearby, so walks/bathroom breaks are usually at the park if the weather is nice.

About: Hi! I’m Noemie – a passionate traveler and animal lover. I’ve been vegan for over 8 years because I deeply care about the planet, its ecosystems, and all living creatures. When it comes to house and pet sitting, I always go above and beyond. While I’m not regularly on this platform, I bring a wealth of experience from various parts of the world. Over a two-year period, I cared for guests’ pets at the pet-friendly hotel where I worked in Jasper, Alberta, while they were off skiing or hiking in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. I’ve also lived for two months at an animal sanctuary in Costa Rica, where I looked after rescued farm animals like pigs, goats, horses, chickens, as well as dogs and cats. During my year-long van trip across New Zealand, I continued pet sitting — caring for cats, dogs, and even a hedgehog! I’m comfortable with animals of all ages, breeds, energy levels, and special needs. Whether your pet is high-maintenance or prefers a quieter pace, they’ll be my top priority — and I promise they’ll have a great time with me. I love pet sitting because it gives me the chance to spend quality time with animals, which I miss when I’m not traveling. I enjoy discovering new places and getting to live like a local while caring for someone’s home and furry companions. All of my past experiences have been incredibly positive. I’d be happy to hop on a video call to answer any questions you might have! Looking forward to meeting you and your beloved pet. 🐾 Warmly, Noemie I’m currently working full time from 6am-2pm. So I’m available for afternoon walks or visiting your fur-friend at their home until evening. Also, I’m free the whole weekend :) I am willing to take your dog at his usual dog park or just for a walk, whatever it’s best for him/her. My place is clean and safe for your pet, I’m living by myself so there is no animals/child in a non-smoking place.

She went the extra mile, with little things, without me asking. It was very easy to trust her and she did not disappoint. 10/10 would recommend and will rebook in the future!

I truly can’t recommend her enough! She took care of our miniature schnauzer Rita for two weeks in our home, and she was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. She sent us daily updates, photos, and little details about Rita’s day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can genuinely tell how much she loves and cares about dogs. She treated Rita with so much love and attention, and I always felt like she was in the best hands possible. She also took wonderful care of our home, and we came back to a very happy and very loved little dog. 🐶💕 She was truly an angel, and I honestly think Rita might like her more than us now 😂❤️ We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would trust her with Rita again without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog as if they were her own, she is absolutely the person. 1000% recommend! 💗

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 $48.84 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,123 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.
