About: Français aussi! I work from home on Monday and Friday, and available to take good care of your dog. I'm also free on weekends. I grew up with dogs, and in the past few years, I have watched over dogs for neighbors, friends and family. From 7am to later at night. Weekends and overnight boarding can be discussed and arranged. I can go outside and play 3-4 times a day I have a fenced yard, and I live next to many parks. It is a dog friendly neighborhood. Not a lot of cars drive by either.

About: I’ve had my own dog for 10 years and love cats too. I’m gentle, patient, and always give every lovely pet love, safety, and comfort. I work from home, so I have plenty of time to give pets attention, care, walks, and lots of love throughout the day and night. I create a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, give constant attention, and always make them feel happy and secure.

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.

About: J'ai grandit avec des teckels, des perruches, des poissons rouges, un colley très doux. J'ai toujour adoré les animaux, marcher avec eux, les nourir, les brosser, veiller aux médicament et à leur santé. Je rêve même d'une mini fermette dans mon futur! Je suis de retour aux études de soir, alors j'aurai des disponibilités en matinée dès lundi le 24 août 2026. Je souhaite donner un coup de main aux parents de chiens, de petits animaux et de reptiles (pas de chats, très malheureusement, puisque je suis très allergique) J'ai appris très tôt à comment me présenter aux animaux pour une première rencontre dans la douceur. J'ai une cage que j'ai utilisé lorsque mon teckel était bébé.

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: I love animals and have been caring for pets for many years. I have experience with cats of different ages and personalities, as well as other small pets. I have cared for my own pets, welcomed foster animals into my home, and regularly looked after friends’ pets. I am comfortable caring for kittens/puppies, senior pets, and animals that need medication or extra attention. I will treat your pets with the same care, patience, and affection as my own. 😊 I also speak French. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m flexible and happy to adapt to their routine and needs. I respect each pet’s routine and provide fresh water, meals, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. Their comfort, safety, and well being are always my priority.

About: Hello there! my name is Amira, and I am a passionate animal lover with years of experience in dog sitting and caring for various breeds and personalities. I had dogs and cats since a very young age and displayed a profound interest in learning about the different breed's characteristics, as well as about how to interact, play and create a bond with them. Throughout the years of experience and dedication I have developed skills and ease on how to naturally establish complicity with animals, as well as how to adjust my approach and care to the dog's character. I understand that each dog is unique and has specific needs, and I am dedicated to providing personalized care tailored to your preferences and requirements and can easily establish complicity with them. I know how to train dogs to learn the basics. I also have some experience with dogs displaying behavioral issues and will gladly provide some tricks to help the dog improve, be less anxious or nervous when they see other mates. I'm flexible; I am willing to accommodate your schedule and your dog's routine to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I genuinely love dogs and will treat your pet with the same love and care as if they were my own. You can count on me to be punctual, reliable and responsible in providing care for your pet. Feel free to reach out to me to discuss your dog's needs and schedule a meet-and-greet. I can't wait to meet your furry friend and provide them with love and attention and tailored care. Thank you for considering me as your dog sitter. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your beloved pet! Amira Im currently only working from home part-time from the computer (2 hours) and will have plenty of time to look after, care and play with your pet. A typical playful day of care involves engaging in stimulating activities, providing attention and lots of love to ensure your pup is happy, well cared for and relaxed while you're away. We can agree on a Meet & Greet session before taking in your pets, which can be scheduled prior to the sit dates if you wish to make you and your pack more comfortable and ensure that care is tailored and suited to their needs.

About: Je suis une passionnée des chiens et animaux. J’ai plusieurs années d’expérience à prendre soin de mes propres animaux.

Je prendrai le temps de respecter sa routine et je vous enverrai des nouvelles et des photos pendant les promenades ou les gardes. Je travaille à temps plein, mais j’ai un horaire qui me permet d’offrir des services aux animaux en soirée après le travail durant la semaine ainsi que les fins de semaine. J’aime intégrer les chiens dans ma routine quotidienne avec des promenades, des moments de jeu et beaucoup d’attention.

About: J'ai des animaux depuis que je suis très jeunes et j'ai toujours participer à en prendre soin. J'ai présentement deux chats de 1 et 15 ans en bonne santé et que j'adore. J'aimerais vraiment avoir un chien et je m'ennuie d'en avoir un dans ma vie, mais je n'ai pas l'espace pour en adopter un en ce moment. J'adore aussi tous les animaux en général et j'aime en rencontrer de nouveaux. Ce sont des raisons qui me pousse à vouloir offrir mes services pour la garde des vôtres. Par le passé, j'ai déjà gardé un chat pendant 2 semaines qui venait d'avoir une énucléation (chirurgie pour enlever son œil) à la suite d'une infection, impliquant de lui donner des médicaments (liquides) 2 fois par jour et des gouttes pour son deuxième œil 5-6 fois par jour. J'ai aussi régulièrement gardé le chien chez ma mère pour des périodes d'environ une semaine, incluant en fin de vie alors qu'il nécessitait des médicaments (pilules) 2 fois par jour. Je suis donc généralement à l'aise de donner la médication selon vos indications. Je travaille à temps plein, mais mon horaire est assez flexible pour m'adapter à vos besoins. Je travaille en mode hybride et je dois me rendre au bureau 2 jours par semaine, mais je suis autrement en télétravail et je peux être présente et m'occuper de vos animaux sans problème pendant ce temps. Sinon je n'ai habituellement pas de restrictions le soir ou la fin de semaine. Pour la garde à domicile, je vais nourrir vos animaux, changer leur eau à tous les jours, donner la médication au besoin (selon vos indications), faire la litière des chats/sortir les chiens. Pour ces derniers, je peux offrir 1-2 marches par jours selon les habitudes de l'animal. Je pourrais aussi évidemment jouer avec eux et leur donner de l'amour. Je suis aussi ouverte à faire certains entraînements selon vos indications au besoin (à discuter).

About: Je me distingue par mon approche calme, attentive et fiable. J'aime prendre le temps d'observer chaque chien afin de comprendre son tempérament, son niveau d'énergie et ses habitudes pour lui offrir des soins adaptés. Je respecte toujours les consignes des propriétaires, qu'il s'agisse des horaires, des routines, de l'alimentation ou des préférences de leur compagnon. Je crois qu'une bonne communication est essentielle, c'est pourquoi j'envoie régulièrement des nouvelles et des photos pour que les propriétaires aient l'esprit tranquille. Ayant un mode de vie actif, je suis à l'aise avec les promenades, les jeux et les activités qui permettent aux chiens de dépenser leur énergie tout en restant en sécurité. Je continue également à développer mes connaissances sur le comportement canin afin d'offrir une expérience positive autant pour les chiens que pour leurs propriétaires. Je travaille de la maison, ce qui me permet d'offrir une présence régulière et de la compagnie aux chiens tout au long de la journée. Cette flexibilité est un grand avantage pour les animaux qui apprécient une présence humaine et des sorties adaptées à leur rythme. Je suis également disponible les soirs, les fins de semaine et certains jours fériés. Afin d'offrir un service de qualité, je limite volontairement le nombre de réservations que j'accepte. La sécurité et le bien-être de votre compagnon sont toujours ma priorité. Je prends le temps de me familiariser avec ses habitudes, son niveau d'énergie et vos consignes avant chaque service. Lors des promenades, je demeure attentif à l'environnement, j'évite les situations à risque et je respecte le rythme de votre chien. Si je me rends à votre domicile, je veille à respecter votre espace tout en maintenant la routine de votre animal afin qu'il se sente en confiance. Je communique régulièrement avec les propriétaires en envoyant des nouvelles et des photos pour qu'ils puissent partir l'esprit tranquille.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Sainte-Thérèse

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sainte-Thérèse is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $54 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 1,813 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Sainte-Thérèse. About 85% of Sainte-Thérèse sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:

  • Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
  • House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
  • Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.

Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.

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 Sainte-Thérèse 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!

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
