About: Having grown up on a farm, I developed a natural connection with animals from an early age. Over the years, through my travels and house-sitting experiences, I’ve had the opportunity to care for many different dogs, each with their own personalities and unique needs. Today, I offer loving and attentive pet care, providing both dogs and cats with a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment where they feel at home. I believe every animal deserves patience, companionship, affection, and genuine care. I work part-time from home and have a flexible schedule, which lets me give plenty of time and attention to pets I care for. I already walk twice a day in nature, so including dogs in my routine feels natural. I love being outdoors, staying active, and making sure dogs get the exercice. companionship, and affection they need. I can easily adapt my schedule to their needs and make sure they feel confortable, safe and loved while their humans are away. I believe every pet has their own personality, habits, and needs. My priority is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, while respecting their usual routines. Whether caring for your pets in my home or in their own environment, I provide attentive, gentle, and personalized care. I make sure they get regular walks, exercice, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection. I also pay close attention to their feeding schedules, special needs, and daily habits. Having cared for many dogs over the years, especially through house sitting experiences, I understand the importance of being present, patient, and attentive with each animal.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and spent a lot of time on a farm with dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable caring for them. My daughter is a huge dog lover and is always the first to volunteer to walk our friends’ dogs whenever she gets the chance! Dog walking was actually her idea. Since we already love going for walks together, we thought, why not bring a four-legged friend along? I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day for walks, playtime and plenty of attention. We also have a large backyard with lots of space to enjoy the outdoors. My daughter and I already spend a lot of time outside and going for walks together, so having a dog join us fits very naturally into our daily routine. Safety and trust are very important to me. I always take the time to understand each dog's personality, routine and any special instructions from their owner. I make sure dogs are securely leashed on walks and always supervised when they're with us. At our home, I work from home and we have a large backyard, so there's plenty of opportunity for attention, outdoor time and play. My daughter loves being involved, but I am always the adult responsible for the dog's care and safety. When caring for a pet, I want both the dog and their family to feel comfortable, safe and confident while they're in our care. I'm also happy to send photos and updates along the way!
“Mylène took great care of Obi and our home while we were away for a week! She was very careful about his meals (both the timing and the content) to help keep him on his normal schedule. He is a Springer Spaniel so he requires a lot of physical activity and she took him for long walks and hikes almost every day. Communication throughout was fast and clear, and she sent us daily updates with photos. When we got home, Obi was happy and healthy and our house was in great shape. Mylène is very trustworthy and we would certainly book again!”
“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: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who truly loves animals and treats every pet like family. I mainly speak English, but I can also understand French, so I’m comfortable communicating with bilingual pet parents but I may struggle to speak in French as I am still learning. Service details & availability: • Drop-in visits: Available within 15 km of my home for multiple visits in one day, or up to 30 km for one visit per day. • Dog walking: Offered within 15 km of my home to ensure punctual and stress-free walks. • House sitting: Bookings over 30 km from my home may require an additional travel fee, depending on distance and length of stay. • In-home boarding: I only accept one pet family at a time so your pet gets my full attention. I have a large, secure backyard for supervised outdoor time. Please note that I currently have one cat and one dog in my home who are used to being around other animals. • Pickup & drop-off: Pickup and drop-off services are available for an additional fee, depending on distance. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort, and I’m happy to follow any specific care instructions to make sure your pet feels at ease while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾 I am always home and available. We have a large land so they would be able to get their daily exercise. All my pets are on a set routine so they will follow a similar routine. My yard is not fenced off but we have cameras all over the land. They will be put on a leash if they have a tendency to run off. If they need to be leashed, we have the tools to have them on a 10 yard leash so they can still roam freely but will not be able to leave the land.
About: I've had dogs of all sizes and ages, and now fur mom to a mini golden doodle. She's the queen of the house :) From German Shepards to Mini-Pinchers, I raised them all, and even helped some of my dogs give birth to their puppies! Your puppy (because yes, all doggies are puppies for me) is in good hands when we are together! Walks, cuddles, Netflix while dog sitting, I work from home and happy to help you give a healthy and happy day to your dog when you are out and about. And for your cat if you need any house care, I am your girl! For doggy day care needs (only available for recurrent owners) - I work from home during the day, so your dog won't be alone during our time together - They will enjoy 3 walks (depending on the weather and their energy). 1 when you drop them off, 1 mid day, and 1 before you pick them up so you are not rushed to walk them. - They will have dog treats waiting for them here to enjoy their stay. - Do bring their favorite toy so that they feel right at home if it will make your dog happy. For housesitting requests: - They will have 4 walks for their time with me (morning, afternoon, early evening, and evening). - A meet & great is needed to ensure I can properly take care of your doggies. I know your pet is part of your family, so let's give them the best care possible together :) Dina xo Notes - Meet & Greet always needed for all dogs, so it would be hard to accept last minute requests from new dogs. - Please don’t forget to inform me of any allergies or preferences of your dog so that we can have an amazing day! - If your dog needs a run, I would be more than happy to take them with me during my daily jog.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Val-David 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 Val-David 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 Val-David 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. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
