About: *This profile is for both Marilyn & her partner Anthony* ***We are bilingual French/English. Vous pouvez aussi nous écrire en français!*** Mari has adopted 2 kittens in her adult life, and her oldest recently passed away at almost 18 years young, which Anthony had the chance to also take care of for several years. Mari was blessed with also being able to share the life of a sweet elderly French bulldog for several years, Anthony’s beloved companion for 12 years. Anthony has experience fostering 3 dogs (large mixed breeds). Over the years, we have also taken care of our friends/neighbours' cats and dogs when they were away for a few days. It would be our honour to be involved in taking care and loving your small pets while you are away for work/vacation, and make sure that it is a stress free time for all, as we know from having had several petsitters over the years the importance of finding one that is trustworthy to be in your home and to attend to the needs of your furry kids. We come with some "special" expertise (thanks to our previous lovely companions giving us lived experience, and the extensive readings we have done on those topics) regarding dog training, behavior management, CDK, cardiac disease, IBD, picky eating, post-surgery care, UTIs, pancreatitis, food allergies, arthritis, senior care. We can administer oral medications, including piling or syringing, subcutaneous fluids, transdermal (ear) medications, eye drops, nose sprays, and prepare meals according to your specific instructions, as we know that you know your pet best. We love cuddling with lap cats and dogs, going on walks in the neighborhood, and playing with pets. Looking forward to getting to know you and your little(s) one(s)! Mari works from home, so she can come and visit your pets up to 3 times per day. She has limited availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but might still be able to do 1-2 visits on those days. Anthony has classes in the morning Monday-Friday. We do not offer care in our home due to our building policies. However, we are happy to come to your home to look after your pets, in the environment they are the most comfortable in.

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: I have had a dog since I remember myself! I grew up around dogs, including 2 Chihuahuas, 1 Greek shepherd dog, 1 Labrador, 1 Golden Retriever and three rescue dogs. I am super comfortable with all dogs, I understand that every dog has its own unique personality and I am ready to take care of your dog with love and affection! I am available to come to your house and sit and take care of your dog while you are busy or at work and I also offer dog walking services for the days you are too tired or don't have enough time on your hands! I am responsible, easy to work with and the ultimate dog lover! -I speak English, French and Greek!- I'm currently taking a break from my job which gives me plenty of time to spend on taking care of your dog and making sure it has whatever it needs! :) Coming from a family that has always had dogs around (my mum currently has 3 at home!), I love caring for your dog the same way I would care for my own dog... With attention, affection and attend to each dog's needs :)

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!

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!

About: Boutique home boarding for only 1–2 dogs at a time, so your pup receives the personalized care, attention, and love they deserve. I also offer a unique Wedding Dog Attendant service for couples who want their four-legged family member to be part of their special day. Hi! I'm Andrea—a lifelong animal lover originally from a small town in Costa Rica, where I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs, goats, rabbits, and parrots. Caring for animals has always been a part of who I am, and after more than 30 years of experience with pets of all kinds, I truly understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make your dog feel like they're on their own vacation while you're away. I follow their regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Because I only care for 1–2 dogs at a time, your pup will receive lots of individual attention in a calm, loving home—not a crowded boarding facility. Communication is important to me, so you'll receive regular photo and video updates throughout your dog's stay, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Whether your dog is staying with me for a weekend getaway, a longer vacation, or needs a trusted companion to accompany them on your wedding day, I'll treat them like one of my own. I can't wait to welcome your furry family member into my home! 🐾 My schedule during the week is tailor according to you and your pup. Please reach out and I will make sure to help you as much as possible. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I exclusively offer boarding in my home, where your pup will enjoy a calm, loving, and secure environment with plenty of personalized attention. I keep my home clean, smoke-free, and pet-friendly, and I only board 1–2 dogs at a time so each guest receives the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and lots of cuddles to help them feel comfortable and at home. I know how important it is to stay connected while you're away, so I'll send regular photo and video updates, along with messages about how your pup is doing, giving you complete peace of mind throughout their stay. ✨ Wedding Dog Attendant Service: I also offer a special service for couples who want their dog to be part of their wedding day. I can safely transport, supervise, and care for your dog throughout the event so they can be included in your special moments while you enjoy the celebration stress-free. This premium service is available at a separate rate. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing a safe, loving, and stress-free experience from the moment they arrive until it's time to go home.

Laura has been dog sitting at our home for 3 weeks straight and it was such a great experience. She has been very caring and patient with Kogi, our 7 years old Shiba Inu, despite a big snow removal operation that caused a bit of anxiety for my dog at the beginning of the stay. Every day, she sent us news and photos, always making sure that we were in peace, that was very appreciated. We highly recommend her services, as she has been very caring for our dog and for being a detailed oriented person. Kogi is missing her already.

About: (I speak French and english) Hi! I’ve been surrounded by animals since childhood, and caring for them has always been a natural and important part of my life. I currently have three cats who mean the world to me, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I have recently completed my AEP in Animal Care and have been working in a veterinary clinic, where I continue to gain valuable hands-on experience caring for animals. These experiences have helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and the importance of providing calm, patient, and compassionate care. I’m especially experienced with cats, but I’m also very comfortable caring for dogs. I previously worked in a pet shop for two years, where I was responsible for daily animal care and provided services such as nail trimming. Through my experience, I’ve learned how to approach animals calmly and confidently, read their body language, and adapt to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, anxious, or simply needs a little extra patience and attention, I’ll always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take pet care very seriously and will treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I’m right now working part time but might take this as my primary job. I want to acquire more experience and see how this can be better for me for the future. I’m a calm and patient person who makes pets feel safe and comfortable. I respect their boundaries, pay close attention to their body language, and never force interactions. I’ll take great care of your pets and treat them like my own. 🐾

About: Je m’occupe des chiens depuis que j’ai environ 10 ans. Les amis, les voisins et les membres de ma famille me font confiance pour promener, nourrir et surveiller leurs animaux lorsqu’ils sont absents. J’ai aussi de l’expérience avec les petits animaux, puisque j’ai un lapin. Je suis une personne patiente, responsable et attentionnée, et je prends toujours le temps de m’adapter aux besoins de chaque animal. Mon objectif est que votre compagnon se sente en sécurité et bien entouré pendant votre absence. 🐾 Je travaille et j’étudie, mais j’organise bien mon horaire afin d’être disponible pour les animaux dont je m’occupe. Je peux effectuer des visites, des promenades et des gardes selon mes disponibilités. Je suis fiable et je prends toujours le temps nécessaire pour assurer le bien-être de votre compagnon. Lorsque je m’occupe d’un animal, je respecte toujours sa routine et les consignes du propriétaire. Je m’assure qu’il ait de l’eau, de la nourriture, de l’attention et un environnement sécuritaire. Je suis une personne responsable, calme et attentive aux besoins de chaque animal afin qu’il se sente en confiance pendant votre absence.

Sarah was a godsend for me and my cat. She's well versed in cat behavior, and my shy cat came out of her shell and relaxed in Sarah's company. I was able to relax on my holiday knowing my cat is in good company. Sarah sent regular updates, took care of all of my cats needs and also went the extra mile to take care of my home in my absence. I would highly recommend Sarah, her energy is complimentary to cats' energies and she's a gentle and loving caregiver to cats. Would definitely rebook.

Mathys house sat with our dog, Luna, for five days and four nights. We found Mathys to be a calm and responsible person who took very good care of Luna through twice daily feedings, twice daily walks, occasional play time in our backyard and lots of cuddles. We enjoyed receiving updates and photos of Luna as well. Of special note: Mathys also managed Luna’s anxiety response to a thunder shower by administering the Melatonin pill we left with him, to be given as-needed. Luna responded well to the Melatonin, and Mathys payed extra attention to Luna while the anxiety passed. We very much appreciated this extra care for our sweet pup! We came home after our time away to a happy and healthy dog and a well-kept home. We would definitely recommend Mathys if you are looking for a kind, respectful and responsible dog sitter.

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 1,121 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
  • 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.
