House Sitting in Val-Morin

“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: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals — from Retrievers, Shepherds, Weimaraners to Border Collies, Basset Hounds to Rottweilers , Cats, and even my horse. With years of hands-on experience across all ages and personalities, I’m comfortable caring for playful puppies, energetic younger dogs, and sweet seniors who need a slower pace. I take a calm, gentle approach with every dog, reading their cues and meeting them exactly where they are — whether they need confidence, comfort, reassurance, or a little extra patience. I’m also experienced with medication routines and special care instructions, and I always handle those with the same kindness and attentiveness your dog is used to at home. My goal is always the same: to make your dog feel safe, understood, and truly at home. I work during the week, which is why I offer boarding primarily on weekends—when I’m fully available to give your dog the attention, time, and companionship they deserve. My career is flexible, though, so depending on my schedule, I’m also able to offer drop-in visits and walks during the day or in the evenings throughout the week. I always make sure that any service I accept fits comfortably around my work so your dog receives reliable, unrushed, and consistent care. I live in a bungalow with a full basement and a mudroom, so there are very few stairs — perfect for senior dogs or pups with mobility issues. If a dog isn’t comfortable with steps or has joint concerns, I can easily block off or baby-gate the stair areas to keep them safe. My home also has a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of room to play, sniff, and explore. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer time outside, I always stay with the dog — I never leave them out on their own. The yard has minimal steps as well, which is great for dogs who need extra care with mobility. When it comes to sleeping arrangements, I want dogs to feel completely comfortable. They’re welcome to sleep in our room on a cozy dog bed, and if they prefer or are used to a crate, I can set that up as well. Whatever helps them feel safe and settled is what I’ll do. When I’m caring for dogs in a client’s home, I follow their routines and house rules exactly — feeding, walks, bedtime habits, comfort items, and any special instructions. My goal is for their dog to feel relaxed, secure, and cared for in their own familiar environment. No matter where I’m looking after your dog, you can expect safe supervision, attention to detail, a calm atmosphere, and lots of love.

“Hiba was very attentive and caring for Boozer while we were out. She was so accommodating and was understanding about some concerns we had (a very scary experience with another Rover care giver). She put us at ease, and was a pleasure to work with, we would highly recommend her services! Thank you Hiba!”

About: Une version française suivra. English / Anglais Experience and passion for animals I’ve had animals almost all my life, mainly dogs and cats. I grew up with different dog breeds, often large dogs such as St. Bernards and a German Shepherd. From a young age, I learned the basics of obedience and training, and I have also helped train dogs that had never been trained before. I love spending time with them and discovering their unique personalities. Care and attention I am very comfortable with all aspects of daily care: giving medication (even to large dogs), trimming nails, brushing, playing, and providing affection. I also have experience with laying hens. I cared for a cat during two extended absences of its owner, totaling five weeks, and I even taught him to play with toys for the first time! Seeing animals happy and fulfilled is my greatest joy. Commitment and reliability Animal welfare is at the heart of everything I do. I always ensure that pets receive the love, care, and attention they deserve. You can trust me to take care of your companions as if they were my own. Français / French Expérience et passion pour les animaux J’ai eu des animaux presque toute ma vie, principalement des chiens et des chats. J’ai grandi avec différentes races de chiens, souvent de grande taille, comme des Saint-Bernard et un berger allemand. Dès mon plus jeune âge, j’ai appris les bases de l’obéissance et du dressage, et j’ai également aidé à entraîner des chiens qui n’avaient jamais été dressés. J’adore passer du temps avec eux et découvrir leur personnalité unique. Soins et attention Je suis très à l’aise avec tous les aspects des soins quotidiens : donner des médicaments (y compris aux gros chiens), couper les griffes, brosser, jouer et offrir de l’affection. J’ai aussi de l’expérience avec les poules pondeuses. J’ai pris soin d’un chat pendant deux absences prolongées de sa propriétaire, soit un total de cinq semaines, et j’ai même réussi à lui apprendre à jouer avec des jouets pour la première fois ! Voir les animaux heureux et épanouis est ma plus grande satisfaction. Engagement et fiabilité Le bien-être des animaux est au cœur de tout ce que je fais. Je veille à ce qu’ils reçoivent toujours l’attention, l’affection et les soins qu’ils méritent. Vous pouvez me faire confiance pour prendre soin de vos compagnons comme si c’étaient les miens. English Schedule I’m available for pet sitting services and can arrange my schedule to meet your pets’ needs. I’m especially interested in long-term arrangements, particularly during the winter months, which allows me to provide stable and attentive care. To ensure the best arrangement, it’s best to confirm timing together. Français Emploi du temps Je suis disponible pour des services de pet sitting et je peux m’organiser pour répondre aux besoins de vos animaux. Je suis particulièrement intéressée par des contrats à long terme, notamment pour la période hivernale, ce qui me permet d’assurer une présence stable et attentive. Pour garantir la meilleure organisation possible, il est préférable de confirmer les horaires ensemble. English Safety, trust, and environment I can visit your home to care for your pet, or stay at your home for short or long periods if needed. I ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your pets at all times. I especially enjoy working with dogs that are well-trained, as it allows for smooth and happy interactions. Français Sécurité, confiance et environnement Je peux me rendre à votre domicile pour m’occuper de votre animal, ou rester chez vous pour de courtes ou longues périodes selon vos besoins. Je veille toujours à offrir un environnement sûr et confortable pour vos animaux. Je préfère particulièrement les chiens bien dressés, car cela permet des interactions plus agréables et harmonieuses.

About: I have 2 dogs (golden doodles), ive been taking care of them for the past 11 years. I walk them 3 times a day, bath and cut their hair myself. With my 2 dogs, I walk them morning, afternoon and night, I always find a way to squeeze them around my schedule. I can do the same for you. I care for pets by following their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, comfort, and respect. I make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

About: I have experience with a large variety of animals, including many foster dogs and cats, many of which with their own sensitivities and triggers. I also helped foster a broader set of animals through my childhood, including geese and raccoons, and have pet sat too many times to count for dogs, cats, and bunnies I currently work an inconsistent field job, so my schedule is wide open when it is open... and the rest of the time it is closed for months. Please reach out and I can tell you what part of the world I'm in when you are looking for a sitter I am looking primarily for pet sits that include house sitting, so I can be available for the animals on a 24/7 basis if needed

About: J'ai eu un petit caniche pendant 13 ans. Je garde les chiens de ma famille. Je suis attentive aux besoins, par exemple si je remarque que le chien a mal aux pattes en marchant l'hiver, ou si ses fesses sont irritées je vais prendre les mesures pour qu'il soit bien. Je peux leur donner un bain avec un shampoing doux et les sécher, mais je n'offre pas de service de toilettage. Je n'offre pas de soins médicaux, mais je peux leur donner leurs médicaments s'ils ont une ordonnance. J'adore apprendre à les connaitre en se promenant ensemble. Plusieurs beaux parcs autour de chez moi. Je m'intéresse et je m'adapte aux habitudes des propriétaires avec leur chien, autant que possible. Et je leur donne plein d'affection biensûr! C'est un privilège de les recevoir chez moi. Merci d'avance pour votre confiance:) J'ai un travail 9 à 5, avec 2 à 3 jours de télétravail par semaine. Ça me fait plaisir d'avoir un partenaire des activités quotidiennes! Je m'adapte au chien et j'apprends a le connaitre avant de partir à l'aventure (plus longues marches et voyages en voiture, par exemple). Pas d'autres animaux, je vis seule et je ne fume pas. Les murs en béton sont très bien insonorisés, mon condo est un endroit très calme plein de lumière naturelle. Les premières journées sont teintes de routine et structure pour mettre le chien en confiance. Je m'assure de créer "son coin", avec un petit lit et sa nourriture. Le chien est admis sur le sofa, mais pas dans mon lit!

About: Ive been fortunate to have always been surrounded by dogs, cats, bunnies, and other animals at my parents rehabilitation center. I volunteered for the SPCA as a trained dog-walker for close to a decade and am unfazed by any behavioural /aggressive traits as I’ve fostered a range of rescues and owned seniors throughout my 20s. Please ask me any questions about the experience you’re searching for :) I’ve recently finished my graduate studies and work remotely part-time. My partner and I take care of our senior dog (12) so I am happy to house sit or provide drop ins/walks anytime. My schedule is flexible, let’s chat about what your and your pets’ needs are! Fenced in yard, spotless house so they won’t get into anything, and constant company :) I’m responsible but easy going, let me know your rules and I’ll follow them to keep your pet comfortable and on schedule

About: Hi! A little bit about myself, I've always loved animals and had them for years (in my life and out of my plate, been vegan for 10 years). Cannot be happier to be around them and caring for them. I am currently working from home and am taking my 4-year-old dog at the park every single day for 2h... who wants to join? The more the merrier, they say. My home is very pet friendly; as I mentioned, having a pet myself, I make sure they feel comfortable and welcomed. It's almost like I'm the guest in my own house! I do not mind them laying on the couch or bed at all. Am currently part time at my "at home'" job, so super flexible schedule! We can agree on a fixed agenda or change it up every week, at your convenience. My house is safe & fun to play in, will send you many pictures throughout the day. Your furry baby will never get bored with us!

“Friendly, tidy, flexible, and responsive. Lindsay cared for our cats and dog while we were away. An unexpected issue had occurred with our return flights, which Lindsay was understanding and flexible with. She followed the instructions we left with regards to our pets, and tidied our apartment before we returned, which was very thoughtful! We recommend her, and would use her services again.”

“Cristine is the one you want to hired to take care of your dog. She is amazing! She came to our house to take care of our dog and we can tell he had a good time and was well take care of. She left our house spotless and we feel she went above and beyond to take care of Roscoe. I would recommand her 110%. And for sure we Will hired her again”
