“Hope is an AMAZING pet sitter. She took incredible care of our dog and cat while we were away. It was evident through the pictures she sent throughout our trip that our animals were comfortable with her. They were often seen with their bellies in the air or on her lap. Additionally, they looked happy and healthy when we came home. We will absolutely book with Hope again. Thank you!”
About: I’ve always loved the way dogs bring joy, personality, laughter, and comfort into everyday life. Caring for them comes naturally to me, and I put a lot of intention into making sure each dog feels safe, relaxed, and understood. I love creating a calm, comfortable space for dogs to settle in. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, quirks, and comfort level so they can feel cared for and at ease. I’m patient, observant, and committed to following the guidelines you set so your dog feels right at home. Here’s what your dog can expect: • A peaceful, comfortable environment • Gentle attention and affection • Walks, playtime, and enrichment based on their energy level • Consistency with your rules and routines • Clear communication and regular updates My goal is for your dog to feel secure and happy — and for you to feel completely at ease while they’re with me. I work from home, so your dog will have company for most of the day. I’m around and attentive, which means plenty of companionship, playtime, and regular trips outside whenever they need a break. The only day I’m typically out of the house is Thursday, but I make sure pets in my care have everything they need before and after I’m gone. My home becomes your pet’s home while they’re here. Dogs are welcome to relax on the couch or curl up in bed—unless you prefer to keep those spaces off‑limits, in which case I’ll happily follow your rules. I also have a spacious backyard that’s mostly fenced, giving dogs room to explore and enjoy some fresh air. Plus, I live in a great area for walks, with several parks nearby and a couple of lovely dog parks for pups who enjoy social time and extra exercise.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life, family, friends and had three growing up. I am used to being around rambunctious dogs of all kinds including puppies and seniors. Looking forward to meeting your fur buddies! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available nights, weekends and holidays. I will not be travelling this summer so I have ample time to look after your pets. I have two cats who I look after as if they were my children. I love and care for them in a calm and warm environment.
About: Ive grown up with pets my entire life and have experienced caring for dogs, cats, fish and even bunnies! Being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m young, energetic, responsible, and independent. I’m able to adapt my routine to you and your pets personalities and routine to help everyone feel comfortable and happy while you’re away! I’ll always keep you updated with plenty of photos and videos so you can have peace of mind! I currently work two jobs both part time, my schedule is pretty scattered but I can easily give shifts away and ask for time off. I’m always able to be there in the morning and at night time for your pets! Normally I’ll also be there in the either the morning, afternoon or evening depending on my shift. I try to keep the routine as normal and stress free as possible. I’ll try to follow all the feeding, walking playtime and care instructions to make sure your pet(s) are happy and cared for. I always keep my surroundings clean and tidy and am very responsible being left alone and following instructions.
“Nous ferons certainement appel à Catherine de nouveau. On pouvait facilement constater à notre retour que notre chien l'aimait beaucoup et qu'elle avait été très attentionné avec lui.”
About: Caring for pets has always been more than just a job for me—it’s a true privilege. With over 8 years of experience in rescuing and caring for dogs and cats, I’ve had the joy of working with pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, sitting, or simply giving them the love and attention they deserve, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that each pet has unique needs, and I take pride in creating a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for them. Nothing brings me greater joy than seeing a wagging tail or hearing a happy purr—they’re family, too. I’m currently working part-time in our business, so I have plenty of time to play with and care for our beloved furry friends. I’m available Monday to Friday in the morning or afternoon, and on Saturday mornings until noon—ready to jump into action whenever needed! I live with my wife and our puppy in a cozy apartment where we can assure you plenty of love and entertainment for your furry buddy.
About: J’ai toujours vécu avec des animaux et m’en suis occupée au quotidien, notamment avec mon propre chien, un berger allemand. J’ai l’habitude de comprendre leurs besoins, leur énergie et leur comportement. Je propose des promenades calmes, sécuritaires et adaptées à chaque chien. Je prends le temps avec eux, sans stress, en respectant leur rythme. Je propose également des visites à domicile (gardiennage), pour nourrir, donner de l’attention et m’assurer que votre animal se sente bien en votre absence. Je suis une personne fiable, douce et attentive, et je comprends à quel point il est important de laisser son animal à quelqu’un de confiance. Je peux également envoyer des nouvelles et des photos pendant les visites ou promenades pour vous rassurer. Au plaisir de rencontrer votre chien 🐾 Je suis disponible en semaine en fin de journée ainsi que les week-ends pour les promenades. Je propose également des gardes à domicile principalement les week-ends, idéales si vous devez vous absenter ou partir en voyage. Je m’adapte au besoin de chaque animal et je prends le temps nécessaire pour assurer leur bien-être. Lors de mes visites à domicile, je respecte toujours l’environnement de l’animal afin qu’il se sente en sécurité et en confiance. Je prends le temps de m’occuper de lui calmement, en respectant son rythme et ses habitudes. Je veille à son bien-être, à son alimentation et à son confort. Je suis une personne fiable, attentive et respectueuse, et je comprends l’importance de laisser son animal à quelqu’un de confiance.
“Une gardienne incroyable ! Je recommande fortement Isabelle. Nous avons été pris au dépourvu par un de nos chats qui est tombé malade juste avant nos vacances, et nous sommes donc partis à la recherche d’une gardienne pour la fin de semaine. Isabelle a répondu très rapidement dès notre premier contact, et nos chats se sont tout de suite entichés d’elle. La mission n’était pourtant pas simple : gérer quatre chats, dont un qui doit recevoir des médicaments deux fois par jour pour son œil. Elle s’en est sortie avec brio ! Nous avons retrouvé nos chats calmes et reposés. Un vrai bonheur, merci !”
“Chayse took very good care of my cat Mouchou. She was also Housesitting and kept my place very clean. When I returned, Mouchou was in good spirits which tell me that she was well cared for! I would highly recommend Chayse as a pet/house sitter.”
“Irmak was amazing! Very professional, reliable, respectful and great communication. My babies LOVED her - she took great care of them, played a lot, cuddled and even brushed them. She went the extra mile, with little things, without me asking. It was very easy to trust her and she did not disappoint. 10/10 would recommend and will rebook in the future!”
“Ekaterina est géniale! Trouver quelqu'un de confiance pour garder un chien anxieux et réactif envers les étrangers peut être difficile, mais son expérience en comportement canin m'a beaucoup rassuré. C'est une vraie professionnelle, en plus d'être toujours sympathique :) Je la recommande chaudement.”
About: I grew up with dogs (I currently have two large breed dogs) and I’ve also been a volunteer at a dog adoption center for most of my life. I have lots of experience with dogs of various ages, temperaments, and breeds. I have also volunteered at an animal hospital and have assisted with shelter vet visits. I am currently a Cegep student studying to be a veterinary technician so I have lots of availability to walk and play with your dogs ! Since dogs all have different needs and behaviours I will do my best to adapt to whatever will make your dog happy ! I will follow usual schedules in order to keep your dog comfortable and will provide lots of love and care as if they were my own :)!
About: As a 27-year-old full-time employee downtown, life can get a bit boring! One of my favourite things to do is bonding with animals. Every animal's specific personality leaves its mark on my heart. My services include dog walking, dog/cat/fish pet sitting, and overnight care. If your pet is shy, a cuddler, or thinks humans are beneath them, I am there to fit into their life and make sure you get updates to ensure your mind is at ease. I'm very comfortable with reactive dogs, making sure they don't chomp on anything they are not supposed to while on their walks, keeping them safe, and also sometimes sprinting with them when the weather permits! :) I'm happy to provide references, and very excited to meet your fur babies! I have a very relaxed job and so work from home most of the time, with a flexible work schedule that I mostly set myself (the rest of it is set by deadlines!) I enjoy being given a purpose to change my routine, so regardless of early riser/late sleeper, your pet and I can hang out when it is comfortable for them. My biggest rule is that I never want to stress your pets out more than they are already stressed out - they miss you already, why would we relocate them! I ask that you provide me with their usual routine and keep to it to ensure that your pet is comfortable. With cats and dogs, I make sure to keep a comfortable distance and let them smell and see me exist around them for a while before I attempt any contact. All we need is safety with animals, and it is my utmost priority :)
“Lisette is a very vibrant and passionate sitter, and it really shows that she cares about what she does. Missy can be anxious when I leave and Lisette was gentle, attentive and affectionate with her, clearly took the time to make Missy feel comfortable and secure. I returned home to a calm and relaxed cat and a happy dog. I really appreciated the kindness she showed my pets and would gladly book with her again.”
About: I have been around pets for a large amount of my life. Helping friends walk or play with their dogs or watching over their cats. I am currently home from university and have a very open schedule so I am free to pet sit or walk most of the week at limited advance notice. I ensure they are well fed, entertained and that dogs are taken out on walks regularly. I also make sure I can see them or know where they are and am careful about opening windows and doors.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dorval
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dorval on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,140 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dorval. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Dorval 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.
Tip: 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 Dorval 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 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!
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, identity 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
