“I can’t recommend Jay highly enough for in-home cat sitting. She is a professional when it comes to looking after a home and a kitty cat and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Throughout the visit we received lots of pictures and videos of our cat looking relaxed and not missing us at all. Our house looked well looked-after when we returned home.”

About: By Sabrina & Karim 👫🏻 With over 10 years of experience in pet sitting, we offer a warm, loving environment dedicated to your pet’s well-being, where they will truly feel at home! We have no pets or kids and work from home, so they won't be left alone. What sets us apart? ✅ Peace of mind while you are away : Every pet is unique, and I adapt my care to their habits, temperament, and specific needs. I also provide updates and pictures. ✅ Our love for pets: We grew up around all kinds of pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, parrots). We understand pets and make sure they feel their best. ✅ All the attention they need: I work mostly from home, and my husband is also very often at home. He loves pets as much as I do —and pets love us! ✅ Light medical care: Administration of medication, light post-operative care, or special monitoring when needed. ✅ A kind and reassuring approach: Patience, gentleness, and respect for each pet’s pace so they feel safe and relaxed. In our home, your companion enjoys a warm environment, attentive presence, and moments of bonding for a calm and stress-free stay. You can leave with peace of mind, knowing your pet is in very good hands! 🐾 I work from home and tend to be more of a homebody in the evenings and on weekends.My husband is also often home. We enjoy going for walks and we are generally quite active. In our home: 🏡 A safe and comfortable space: Our home offers a calm and welcoming environment, with dedicated areas for rest and play. The surrounding gardens allow dogs to exercise safely. 🐾 Personalized care: We take into account each pet’s habits (feeding schedule, walks, specific needs) so they feel right at home. ❤️ Attentive and caring presence: Constant supervision, cuddles for those who enjoy them, and respect for each companion’s personality.

“First of all, I highly recommend Srivalli as your cat sitter! She took care of our cat Vader for 18 days and we felt such at peace to see how caring she was with him. Constant pictures and videos every day, which we loved receiving and follow our cat's progress to a new environment. Her cat is wonderful and sweet and Vader and her got along so well together! We are happy to have found a cat sitter in the region that we can trust!”

About: With over 25 years of experience caring for cats, I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away in the comfort of their own home. I’m also a lifelong cat lover and proud rescue mom to four rescue cats of my own. For the past 15 years, I’ve been actively involved in cat rescue. This includes independently doing Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) in my community, socializing feral and fearful cats, working with numerous local rescues, and helping find safe, loving placements for cats in need. I’m especially comfortable caring for senior cats and very shy or fearful cats. I understand that some cats need extra patience and time before they feel comfortable with a new person. I never force interaction. I let each cat set the pace and work to earn their trust. I’m also comfortable administering medications to cats, following your instructions carefully and making sure your cat receives the care they need while you’re away. 🐱 What Your Drop-In Visit Includes During each visit, I will make sure your cat’s needs are completely taken care of, including: ● 🥣 Fresh food and daily feeding according to your cat’s routine ● 💧 Fresh water every day ● 🧹 Daily litter box cleaning ● 💊 Medication administration, when required ● 🧼 Cleaning up after your cat and keeping their area tidy ● ❤️ Attention, affection and companionship, according to your cat’s personality ● 📸 Photos and updates from every visit, so you can see your furry family member is happy and doing well ● 👀 A general check-in on your cat, making sure they appear comfortable and that everything is as it should be Whether your cat is affectionate and social, independent, elderly, nervous, or hiding under the bed, I have experience meeting them where they are. After more than two decades of caring for cats — and 15 years of helping cats who needed someone to advocate for them — I know how important it is to leave your beloved pet with someone you can trust. You can go away knowing your cat is receiving experienced, compassionate and personalized care in the comfort of their own home. 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time, which gives me lots of availability for cat visits. I am happy to work around your schedule and your cat's routine. Your cat’s safety is my top priority! During every visit, I make sure doors and windows are secure and your cat stays safely inside the home. Even if outdoor time is part of their usual routine, I will not allow them outside while you’re away. Better safe than sorry is my motto!

About: Hi! I’m Leanne — a caring, responsible, and trusted pet sitter offering a live-in pet sitting service. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and home while you’re away! ── 💕 MY SERVICE IS ESPECIALLY WELL-SUITED FOR PETS WHO: - Experience stress when left alone for extended periods - Need frequent bathroom breaks - Are very social or enjoy company - Have special routines or additional care needs ── ⏰ YOUR PET’S ROUTINE COMES FIRST: I understand how important consistency is for animals. Whether your pet has specific feeding times, exercise routines, bedtime habits, or medication schedules, I make every effort to follow their routine as closely as possible. Your instructions become my priority, so your pets can feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. ── 🏡 CARING FOR YOUR HOME: Because I’m on the property for the majority of the time, your home receives an added level of attention while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat your home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. ── ❤️ A LIFETIME OF CARING FOR ANIMALS Animals have always been an important part of my life. My wonderful cat, Archie, taught me how to carefully administer medication and, more importantly, how to become highly attuned to an animal’s needs through body language and non-verbal communication. I had a beloved frog named Fern who lived an incredible 24 years as well. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for how different every animal can be — and how important it is to understand and respect their individual personalities, needs, and routines. ── 📸 COMMUNICATION & PEACE OF MIND: While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can see how your pets are doing. I’m also always available by phone or text if you have any questions or simply want to check in (as many times as you want!) Your pets deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away — and that’s exactly what I aim to provide ❤️ I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! ── ⚠️ IMPORTANT BOOKING NOTES: - I’m only able to provide house-sitting services in smoke-free homes. Thank you for understanding! - Large dog breeds must be able to walk well on a leash — I can handle big dogs, but not REACTIVE big dogs. I currently work remotely, so have plenty of time to work my schedule around your pets. I am available 7 days week, day and night. I do not currently offer boarding in my home, however safety is my top priority when caring for your animals at your house. I make sure to follow your rules and keep your animals schedule as close to what they are accustomed to.

“Mckenzie and Sami took care of my two cats for three weeks while I was on vacation. They were amazing!! They sent photos after every visit! My cats, who are usually very shy, went right up to them. I came home to two cats in great shape, and I didn’t get the impression they’d missed me at all 🤣 Finally, when we got back, we found a nice note from them and photos of my cats 🥰, and they had cleaned up the areas where the cats spend their time. I highly recommend them, they’re really great!”

About: I am an animal lover since birth, with both parents retired Veterinarian that can easily provide with help and advice if need be! I cared for my cat with renal issue for that last year and he sadly loss passed away from cancer. I am comfortable giving meds and providing basic medical care if needed. I will also not hesitate to bring your animal to the closest veterinarian if needed. I was always stressed to leave my cat alone and was always grateful to my friend who could stay with him when I was away. I now want to help others do the same things ! I work 12hrs shift at the hospital but I will always be home morning and night to be with your animal, and during my days off ! Je suis une grande amoureuse des animaux depuis toujours. Mes deux parents sont des vétérinaires à la retraite, donc je peux facilement faire appel à leur aide et à leurs conseils au besoin! J’ai pris soin de mon chat qui souffrait de problèmes rénaux au cours de la dernière année. Malheureusement, il nous a quittés après avoir développé un cancer. Je suis à l’aise de donner des médicaments et de prodiguer des soins de base au besoin. Je n’hésiterai également jamais à amener votre animal chez le vétérinaire le plus proche si la situation l’exige. J’ai toujours été stressée de laisser mon chat seul lorsque je devais m’absenter, et j’ai toujours été très reconnaissante envers mes amis qui pouvaient rester avec lui en mon absence. Maintenant, j’aimerais pouvoir offrir cette même tranquillité d’esprit à d’autres propriétaires d’animaux! Je travaille des quarts de 12 heures à l’hôpital, mais je serai toujours à la maison matin et soir pour m’occuper de votre animal, ainsi que pendant mes journées de congé. 🐾❤️ I work 12 hrs shift but I am often home morning, nights and on my days off ! I will definitely prioritize staying with your cat but might have to leave the apartment a few hours at a time I have everything at home to care for a cat, but I am not allowed to have dogs. Im open to keep more than one cat if they are behaving well together

About: Animals have always been a passion of mine ever since I was a kid. My animal care experience begins on my uncle’s farm where I would help out with the chickens, the sheep and even the donkey. I loved taking care of animals so much that I became a camper at La Ferme d’André for 6 years. I also took part in the Youth Ambassador Program at the SPCA, where I got specialized training on dog and cat behaviour, and worked closely with special needs pets. I have been regularly petsitting since 2022. The animals I have taken care of include dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, mice, fish and rats. I have experience administering medicine, caring for seniors as well as puppies and kittens. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and needs! I’m currently working part time so I can dedicate the majority of my week to taking care of animals. I am available on weekdays, weekends, in the mornings, afternoons, evenings and at night as need be. I am eager to honour and respect every home that I visit and will happily follow any special instructions. Most pet owners I have sat for have requested daily pet pics, which I am more than happy to provide! I can also conduct house sitting tasks such as watering plants or opening/closing blinds at certain hours if need be.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for most of my life and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’ve cared for my two cats for the past nine years and also previously had a dog, so I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs and understand their different needs and personalities. What sets me apart is that I’m patient, attentive, and dependable. I take the time to follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions rather than assuming every animal needs the same type of care. Whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, or simply keeping a pet company while their owner is away, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I can plan my day around scheduled visits, walks, feeding times, or check-ins and make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m also available for both regular weekly care and occasional care when owners are away or need some extra help. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any other instructions provided. Safety is always a priority. I pay close attention to doors, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything else that could affect a pet’s well-being. I also understand that some pets need time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and allow them to approach me at their own pace. My goal is for owners to feel comfortable knowing their pet and home are being treated with care and respect while they’re away.

About: I’ve been taking in strays and fostering furry misfits since I was barely taller than a Labrador! From bottle-feeding kittens to winning over the grumpiest rescue dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’m home full-time, which means your pet gets my undivided attention : walks, playtime, belly rubs, and all the love they can get! So don’t you worry! Whether it’s in my home or yours, I aim to make pets feel like they’re on a cozy vacation. At my place, they’ll get a comfy spot to snooze, plenty of playtime, and a calm, loving environment (plus treats if allowed!). In your home, I keep their routine steady—meals on time, walks as usual, and lots of cuddles to keep tails wagging and whiskers twitching. I treat every pet like they’re my own—because for a little while, they kind of are!

About: New to rover? Book your first visit with me and get 20% off ❤️https://www.rover.com/sit/emmac37000 I had an adorable golden doodle growing up as a kid who was my best friend! Since then I’ve helped with taking care of dogs at the humane society walking them and taking them on doggie day out! I make sure every dog gets plenty of mental stimulation, attention, and safe outdoor time. I am comfortable administering medication, following specific diets, and sending adorable photos and messages so you can feel confident while you’re away!! Who doesn’t want to see pictures of their four legged family member 🐶 I am available during lunches Wednesdays and Fridays, and evenings every day of the week. On weekends my schedule is completely free! I am happy to adjust to your schedule and figure out a time that works best for you! I have a studio apartment where I can pet sit overnight but there’s lots of greenspace near me and the apartment building is very pet friendly. Lots of people have furry friends here :)

I also have a spacious one bedroom apartment which can easily be turned into seperate spaces for cats before they are introduced.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Dorval is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $36 per visit.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 336 sitters in Dorval, 94% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Dorval 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 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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:

  • 79% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 87% 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.
