About: J’ai de l’expérience avec des chiens provenant de refuges, donc je suis à l’aise avec des chiens qui peuvent être anxieux, en adaptation ou qui demandent plus de patience. Je prends le temps de respecter leur rythme et de les mettre en confiance. Je suis quelqu’un de fiable et j’accorde beaucoup d’importance au respect des consignes (routine, alimentation, médication s’il y a lieu). Je m’assure que le chien garde ses repères pour réduire le stress. Je suis attentive, constante et je prends ça au sérieux. Mon objectif est que le chien soit bien pendant votre absence, tout simplement. Les services s’intègrent facilement à ma routine puisque je travaille de la maison. Je suis donc disponible tout au long de la journée pour m’occuper des chiens, les sortir et leur donner de l’attention. J’ai une cour semi clôturée pour les sorties, et ils peuvent aussi passer du temps sur le balcon à observer ce qui se passe dehors (leur petite “TV de chien”). Ça permet une routine simple, avec de la présence et des moments tranquilles dans la journée. À mon domicile, tout est déjà adapté puisque j’ai moi-même un chien, donc l’environnement est sécuritaire et “pet proof”. Je m’assure de respecter la routine de chaque chien (repas, sorties, moments de repos) et de m’adapter à ses besoins. Les chiens ont accès à un espace calme à l’intérieur, ainsi qu’à la cour et au balcon sous supervision. Je privilégie une approche tranquille, avec de l’attention et un environnement stable pour qu’ils se sentent bien pendant leur séjour.
“Sandrine a super bien pris soin de Hernan ! Tout s’est parfaitement déroulé et j’ai eu des nouvelles durant la garde, ce qui m’a beaucoup rassurée. Je n’hésiterai absolument pas à la recontacter. Merci encore Sandrine ! :)”
About: Depuis que je suis toute petite que j’ai des animaux. Gerboises, poissons, chats, chiens, oiseaux, geico et même hérisson. Nos 2 chiennes nous ont laissé il n’y a pas trop longtemps, de vieillesses. J’adore toutes sortes d’animaux ils nous apportent tellement. J’ai beaucoup d’amour à donner et le retour est toute aussi importante de leurs part. De plus, trop d’animaux n’ont pas la chance malheureusement. Par ce que je travaille de la maison, je fais mon horaire. Le fait d’avoir perdu ma belle Mika il n’y a pas longtemps ma maison est vide et j’ai le temps pour offrir mon amour aux autres. Je suis très affectueuse avec tous les animaux, par contre, mon rôle est de remplacer la ou le propriétaire avec la routine que vous donnez à votre animal. Mais moi, mes filles montaient sur le sofa les pattes essuyées bien entendu, sur doudou bien collé sur moi. J’adore les marches aussi.
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 :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 61 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Val-David. About 95% of Val-David 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 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!
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.

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.
