“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: Raised and trained animals of all ages for 15 years while helping reactive and rescue dogs build confidence through patience, understanding, positive reinforcement, and compassionate, personalized care. I’m currently available all day Monday through Thursday for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and training sessions. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I work from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., so I’m available for bookings after 7:00 p.m. on those days. If you have any questions about scheduling or need accommodations, feel free to reach out. I’ll do my best to work with you and your pet’s needs! I create a safe, clean, and stress-free environment where every pet receives patience, compassion, individualized attention, care they can always trust, gentle handling, and constant supervision, giving owners complete peace of mind every visit.
“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.”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was 4 years old. I am also a dog groomer, and worked in an animal hospital so animals are my jam! I am available Mondays, and the weekends. I can walk dogs and check in on cats after work as well. We can work together to see how to make it work! I am very vigilant in handling animals and ensuring their safety at every moment. Your animals will be safe with me! As a pet owner I know how important this is to many other owners!
“Merci beaucoup Mackenzie et Sami pour avoir garder Gaïa J’ai reçu des vidéos et photos du déroulement de leur journée j’ai beaucoup je vous contacterai pour les prochaines sorties à venir”
“Catherine a été une gardienne fantastique pour mon vieux pitou de 11 ans, Henry. Elle m’a rassurée, donné des nouvelles chaque jour, en plus de m’envoyer de nombreuses photos de mon meilleur ami 💚 Franchement, je n’aurais pu rêver d’une gardienne plus attentionnée et flexible. Si je pouvais donner plus que 5 étoiles, je le ferais. (Henry fait dire qu’il est très heureux d’avoir passé du temps en compagnie de Catherine et qu’il aimerait beaucoup qu’elle le garde à nouveau!🐶)”
“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 !”
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.
“Ekaterina was an absolutely wonderful house sitter! She was kind, communicative, and clearly cared about taking good care of my fur baby. I wouldn’t ever hesitate to book her again. Thank you so much for taking away all stress about caring for my little girl while I was travelling!”
“What an excellent first experience with Rover. Jessica and Erik were so professional and patient while we learned the processes with Rover. They took the time to meet us and make us feel comfortable and reassured our fur babies will be in good hands. They quickly adapted to the requirement of giving new medication to Toby. Sent several updates and photos while we were away. We fully recommend Jessica and Erik to take care of your pets and home!”

I live in a home with a large yard that is fenced in perfect for fetch and other outdoor activites. I have plently of space for a crate indoors if needed pets are welcomed to roam free as well.
“April is a gem!!! She took excellent care of my dog and cats, sent me pictures and videos so I knew everyone was ok since it wasn't first time using a sitter. She communicates asks questions and it was a real pleasure having her as a sitter for the long weekend ❤️ I highly recommend her!!! Thank you so much April ☺️”
About: Love caring for animals, experienced with senior, shy and spicy cats too! I can’t walk your dog and I can house sit when you’re away! Available on hourly or daily basis including weekends/overnight stay. I am a graduate student and I can provide care after 4 pm or before 9 am. I can feed, walk or play with your dog/cat. I can also do light grooming, cleaning their food bowls and clean the litter. I first let them get used to me.
“Junya did an excellent job taking care of my 3 year old border collie, while I was on vacation. She spent 11 days dog and house sitting. I came back home with my dog happy and healthy. As well as with my house being well maintained and respected. Thank you so much!!”
“Highly recommend Amira! She is absolutely fantastic. She sent me many videos and pictures of her and my dog Bear on long walks and playing fetch. You can tell she really loves animals and takes extremely good care of them. 5/5 will for sure be booking Amira again.”
About: **Loving Care, Tailored for Every Paw 🐾** With years of experience caring for pets of all ages and needs, I treat every furry friend like my own. My own dog is 13 years old and blind, so I truly understand the importance of patience, attention, and gentle care. I’m experienced in giving medications on time, offering comfort — even letting pets sleep in my bed if needed — and making sure they get the walks and exercise they need. Your pet’s happiness, health, and well-being are always my top priorities! **A Flexible, Pet-Friendly Schedule 🐾** I work part-time from home, which means I’m almost always around to give your pet the care and attention they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate their needs — whether it’s timely meals, medication, regular walks, or just some extra cuddles. Your pet will never feel alone, and I’ll make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the day. I care for pets exclusively in my home, which is a calm, cozy, and super clean, minimal space — giving them plenty of room to relax, play, and feel comfortable. I follow their routines closely, give medications on time, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise, attention, and love. Since I work part-time from home, pets are never left alone for long. They’ll always have company, care, and a peaceful environment where they’re treated like family every step of the way.
“Such a pleasant and easy experience with Savannah. Very impressed with her professionalism, positive quiet energy, excellent care for my dog not to mention she left the house spotless. Will hire again. Highly recommend”
“Mariane took great care of our two dogs and cat while we were away for 11 days! She sent photos and checked in with us. A couple of our neighborhood friends saw our girls out for a walk with Mariane and let me know how patient she was with them! We felt they were in great hands. She also left our place in great condition upon our return. We had a great experience and recommend her services!”
About: Hi! I’m Leanne — a caring, responsible, and trusted pet sitter offering a premium, live-in pet sitting service. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and home while you’re away! My specialty is providing continuous, in-home care where your pet is happiest. I stay with them virtually 24/7 (aside from the occasional short trip to pick up groceries or food if needed.) This way your pets can enjoy the comfort of their own home while having consistent supervision, company, and keep to their familiar routine. 💕 My service is especially well-suited for pets who: - Experience separation anxiety or stress when left alone - Need frequent bathroom breaks - Are very social or enjoy constant 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 nearly around the clock, 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’ve also grown up caring for bull-breed dogs, and I had a beloved frog named Fern who lived an incredible 24 years. 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!) *Discounts available for stays longer than a week 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)! 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dorval on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 1,119 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% 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.
