Irmak was a wonderful petsitter and housesitter! She was wonderful with our little dog Olive. She stayed in regular communication with us, which really set our minds at ease while we were away. She provided the best care and we're so happy to have found her! Thanks again!

About: J'adore énormément les animaux (petits, gros, à poils, à plumes et à écailles) et j'en possède depuis plus de 17 ans. J'ai deux chats présentement à la maison, j'ai habité pendant 2 ans avec un gros chien (Zoé labrador-husky), j'ai déja eu un petit chien (Miko pomeranien) pendant 6 mois en famille d'acceuil et ma famille possède 3 chiens (Lucille labrador, Gustave berger australien et Milo doodle). J'aime beaucoup être à l'extérieur et prendre des marches même en hiver alors pourquoi ne pas combiner ces deux intérêts pour rendre service et faire le bonheur de tous. J'aime être en leur compagnie et en prendre grand soin. Je suis une personne respectueuse et soucieuse de suivre les recommandations spécifiques à chaque animal. Je suis celle qu'on appelle lorsque mon entourage à besoin de faire garder leurs chats, leurs chiens ou même leur hamster! Merci de me faire confiance! J'ai un horaire de travail flexible et je travail sur la route ce qui me permet de me libérer en matinée, au dîner, en fin de journée ou en soirée. Je suis aussi disponible la plupart des fins de semaine! Je suis très à l'aise de venir visiter vos animaux à votre domicile car c'est ce que je fais au travail (interventions à domicile avec des enfants).

Madeleine and Fred took to each other immediately, making me feel incredibly at ease with leaving them together for a couple of hours! Madeleine's bubbly, animated, and friendly personality is particularly endearing, and her can-do attitude makes me confident in knowing that Fred is being left in good/capable hands! Would 10/10 rebook!

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for longer than I can remember! Working at the Canine Club brought me great experience with caring for over 30 dogs at once, which included feed time, play time, and care. I worked overnights to insure the safety for each and every dog. Caring for animals brings me a new perspective on life, it feels me with so much joy and love! At the moment I work nights on the weekends and I’m not in school currently so I’m free for any of your pet friendly needs! I insure your animals get the loving and care they need while you’re away. I make sure they get to the walks they deserve and every ounce of my attention.

Maha was absolutely wonderful with my kitten, Leo. This was my first time leaving him with a sitter, so I was a little nervous, but she made the entire experience completely stress free. She sent me photos and updates throughout the day without me even having to ask, which was so reassuring. It honestly felt like I was still there with him. Every picture showed how happy, comfortable, and relaxed he was with her. She was kind, patient, reliable, and clearly genuinely cares about animals. She even stayed a little longer when I was running late getting home, which I really appreciated. I came home to a very happy and relaxed kitten, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would trust Maha with Leo again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!

We absolutely loved Heather! She is incredibly responsive, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond. Our cats have lots of little quirks, routines, and very specific feeding and care instructions. She took the time to carefully read everything, paid attention to every detail, and followed it all perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. Both of our cats are pretty anxious, but Heather has such a naturally calm and gentle energy that, within just one day, they were already sleeping with her and purring nonstop. Seeing them so relaxed and comfortable with someone new was amazing. She also sent us beautiful photos and detailed updates multiple times a day, which made being away from them so much easier. We could tell they were genuinely happy and well cared for. Heather stayed in our home, and when we came back it was absolutely spotless. More importantly, our cats were happy, calm, and clearly loved throughout our trip. I truly can't recommend Heather enough. She has a special gift when it comes to connecting with animals, and her kindness, patience, and caring nature really shine through. Thank you so much, Heather, you are the best! ❤️

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, hamsters, and birds since I was very young. Growing up with pets taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have regularly looked after dogs and cats for family members and family friends. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands. As a student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, regular check-ins while you’re away, or overnight companionship, I strive to provide reliable and consistent care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I make every effort to maintain their normal routine and keep their environment calm and familiar. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household rules. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I treat both your pets and your home with the utmost respect while providing attentive, loving care.

I wish I could give more stars for Sonja! She stayed at my place and looked after my cat for three weeks while I was away, and I came home to a perfectly happy fur baby. He often is stressed when I’m away, but not this time. She took the time to play with him every day, kept his floof brushed and under control, and gave him lots of love and attention. When my flight home was delayed, she told me not to worry and stayed an extra night free of charge. She went above and beyond to look after my place and my boy. Thank you, Sonja!

About: Les chiens ont toujours occupé une place importante dans ma vie. La seule raison pourquoi j'ai mis 1 année d'expérience c'est parce que je n'ai pas mon propre chien, cependant j'ai toujours aimé les chiens, étant plus jeune je m'occupais aussi des chiens de mes amis. Je suis une personne calme, responsable et à l'écoute des besoins de chaque animal. Je prendrai soin de votre compagnon comme s'il était le mien, en lui offrant de l'attention, des promenades adaptées, des jeux et beaucoup d'affection. Je comprends l'importance de la confiance lorsqu'on confie son animal, et je m'engage à vous donner des nouvelles et des photos pour que vous soyez rassuré pendant votre absence. Je suis en ce moment au chômage donc j'ai beaucoup de temps pour m'occuper des chiens. Je suis disponible en tout temps, sauf le matin de 9h, midi car je vais au gym J'ai toujours une énergie calme et positive. Je m'y connais bien en comportement canin alors je saurais m'occuper et calmer votre chien au besoin. Je m'en occuperai comme si c'était le mien

Rémy was seriously amazing! I have a large dog with high energy, whom can be quite a handful but he was great with her. He sent me so many photos and was super communicative, and followed my instructions to a T. I will definitely be rebooking him in the future and I’d recommend him to anyone who wants to leave their babies in good care. Thank you Rémy!

I highly recommend him as a pet sitter! He stayed with our dog and two cats for 3 days and took excellent care of them. Our dog has separation anxiety, so we were nervous about leaving him, but he quickly made him feel comfortable and well cared for. He kept us updated throughout the stay, gave all of our pets plenty of attention and love, and made us feel at ease while we were away. We’re very grateful for the care he provided and would happily recommend him to others.

Vladyslava was amazing! She stayed at our home for a week to watch our dog and cat. Our dog, Boba, is a very anxious pup, so it did take some time for her to adjust, but Vladyslava took the time to work with Boba and had many options to work with her. Boba did come around and had a great time going for walks and hanging out in the sunshine. Vladyslava left the home very clean and clearly respected our space. We will definitely have Vladyslava back again to watch our furbabies.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mont-Royal

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Mont-Royal on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,116 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mont-Royal. 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 Mont-Royal 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 Mont-Royal 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 Mont-Royal 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

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.
