About: J'adore ÊnormÊment les animaux (petits, gros, à poils, à plumes et à Êcailles) et j'en possède depuis plus de 17 ans. J'ai deux chats prÊsentement à la maison, j'ai habitÊ pendant 2 ans avec un gros chien (ZoÊ labrador-husky), j'ai dÊja 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'extÊrieur et prendre des marches même en hiver alors pourquoi ne pas combiner ces deux intÊrêts 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 spÊcifiques 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!

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).

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 Andreaâa 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.

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 1â2 dogs at a time, your pup will receive lots of individual attention in a calm, loving homeânot 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.

About: I have grown up around animals all my life and approach my care with warmth, patience, and affection. I currently have a rescue lab retriever mix (heavy on the mix) and grew up with cats. I believe we can learn so much from animals and deeply appreciate taking the time to get to know each personality. I'm detail oriented and a reliable communicator, approaching each new pet with compassion and curiosity. I am a contract worker in the performing arts and so my schedule is very flexible. Currently I am typically am available each day between the hours of 7am and 9pm. I value safety and emotional well-being above all and so sticking to their regular routine is my is priority. Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to adapt my routine with each of the pets I care for. I love playtime and cuddles and also understand that each pet has their boundaries and respect those always.
About: [Ma langue maternelle est le français, une version française se trouve plus bas!] My parents call me Snow White unironically. If there is an animal nearby⌠that is where you will find me! I have always loved animals, especially dogs and cats. In my hometown, I was my neighborâs first choice for pet sitting their fur babies when they were away (still am with my new neighbors, hehe). I raised an American Akita and he lived 14 long, happy years. I know my way around reactive dogs and I am very serious and careful about special instructions owners give me. From the puppy stage to the senior stage, I love and care for them and adapt to their needs. I am a very active person, I run and walk ~a lot. Iâm getting a little bored of doing it alone, so it would be my absolute pleasure to take your best friend with me to go play outside. 𼰠FOR THE CAT OWNERS: your fur babies would be treated like the royalty they are. Iâve had cats my whole life (I have 2 right now) and they are my flesh and blood!!!! Donât hesitate to contact me for more info!!! ââââ- Mes parents mâappellent Blanche-Neige non ironiquement ! Sâil y a un animal dans les environs⌠câest lĂ que vous me trouverez ! Jâai toujours adorĂŠ les animaux, particulièrement les chiens et les chats. Dans ma ville natale, jâĂŠtais la personne de confiance de mes voisins pour garder leurs petites boules de poils lorsquâils sâabsentaient (et je le suis encore avec mes nouveaux voisins, hehe !). Jâai ĂŠlevĂŠ un Akita amĂŠricain qui a vĂŠcu 14 longues et heureuses annĂŠes. Je connais bien les chiens rĂŠactifs et je prends très au sĂŠrieux les consignes particulières que les propriĂŠtaires me donnent. Du stade de chiot jusquâĂ leurs belles annĂŠes de vieillesse, jâadore prendre soin dâeux et mâadapter Ă leurs besoins. Je suis une personne très active : je cours et je marche ĂŠnormĂŠment ! Je commence Ă trouver ça un peu moins amusant de toujours le faire seule, alors ce serait un immense plaisir pour moi dâemmener votre meilleur ami jouer dehors avec moi. POUR LES PROPRIĂTAIRES DE CHATS : Vos boules de poils seront traitĂŠes comme les petites royautĂŠs quâelles sont ! Jâai toujours eu des chats dans ma vie (jâen ai deux en ce moment) et ils font partie de ma famille au mĂŞme titre que nâimporte qui !!!!! NâhĂŠsitez surtout pas Ă me contacter pour plus dâinformations !!! Iâm working full time with a flexible schedule and a lot of free time. I already integrated physical activity in my daily life (been running for two years now) so it would be easy for me to incorporate pet care and dogwalking in my routine. :) I will follow all instructions about care in your home. Because of my two cats, I canât welcome your pet into my home. But I will happily look after your cat(s), dog(s) and do any pet care activities like clearing out the litter box, feeding, walking, and I might add that I have a special talent for cutting cats nails đ đť
About: I've had my own pets for 6 years, but I've been taking care of my family's pets for longer. Feeding, bathing and taking for walks. (Cats and dogs) Pet care is a key part of my routine. I feed, walk, and play with my pet daily, ensuring they stay healthy, happy, and well-exercised. I provide attentive pet care by feeding, walking, and playing with them. I ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness, adapting to their specific needs and routines.
About: PassionnĂŠ des animaux et toujours partant pour une bonne marche, j'ai crĂŠĂŠ mon compte Rover avec une idĂŠe toute simple : offrir Ă chaque chien une sortie adaptĂŠe Ă son rythme, Ă sa personnalitĂŠ et Ă ses besoins. đž Que votre compagnon prĂŠfère prendre son temps pour explorer et renifler partout ou qu'il ait besoin de se dĂŠpenser davantage, je m'adapte Ă lui pour que chaque promenade soit un moment agrĂŠable. Je privilĂŠgie les promenades individuelles afin d'accorder toute mon attention Ă votre chien. Après chaque sortie, je vous partage des photos et un petit compte rendu pour vous raconter ses aventures! Mon objectif? Que votre chien se sente en confiance, profite pleinement de sa promenade et revienne heureux Ă la maison. đś Les promenades de chiens font partie intĂŠgrante de mon quotidien! đś Avec Rover, j'organise mon horaire en fonction des rĂŠservations et des besoins de mes clients afin d'offrir un service fiable et attentionnĂŠ. J'aime autant retrouver mes compagnons rĂŠguliers que faire connaissance avec de nouveaux chiens. Je prends soin de planifier mes dĂŠplacements et mes disponibilitĂŠs pour respecter mes engagements et consacrer le temps nĂŠcessaire Ă chaque promenade. Que ce soit pour une sortie occasionnelle ou des promenades rĂŠgulières, je suis toujours heureux d'accueillir de nouveaux compagnons! Je mâassure toujours que votre chien se sente en confiance avec moi. Mon but : quâil passe un bon moment, en toute sĂŠcuritĂŠ, dans un environnement qui lui est familier. đś
âWe're so glad we booked Robbin for drop ins while we were out of town! We booked somewhat last minute and she was communicative and accommodating. We loved getting text and photo updates for our 15 year old cat, and Robbin even brought him some treats after checking with us! We'll definitely be booking with Robbin again :)â

About: Plusieurs annĂŠes dâexpĂŠrience en promenade de chiens auprès de la SPCA mâont permis de dĂŠvelopper une grande aisance avec des chiens aux tempĂŠraments variĂŠs. Cette expĂŠrience a renforcĂŠ mon approche douce, attentive et respectueuse du rythme de chaque animal. Fiable et Ă lâĂŠcoute, je porte une attention particulière au langage canin afin dâoffrir des sorties sĂŠcuritaires, stimulantes et adaptĂŠes aux besoins de chaque compagnon. Que ce soit pour une promenade ĂŠnergique ou plus tranquille, jâassure une prĂŠsence constante, bienveillante et rassurante. Je suis prĂŠsentement en rĂŠorientation de carrière et j'intègrerai le programme d'acupuncture Ă compter d'aoĂťt 2026. Mes horaires sont donc flexibles et je suis grandement disponible. Ă mon domicile comme chez les propriĂŠtaires, jâaccorde une grande importance Ă respecter la routine et les besoins spĂŠcifiques de chaque animal. Je prends le temps de crĂŠer un lien de confiance en mâadaptant Ă son rythme, son niveau dâĂŠnergie et son tempĂŠrament. Je veille Ă tous les aspects de son bien-ĂŞtre : repas, eau fraĂŽche, propretĂŠ, jeux, stimulation et moments de calme. Pour les chiens, jâassure des promenades sĂŠcuritaires et adaptĂŠes. Pour les chats, je privilĂŠgie une approche douce et respectueuse, en laissant toujours lâanimal venir Ă moi. Je porte aussi une attention particulière Ă leur langage et Ă leurs signaux afin dâassurer leur confort et leur sĂŠcuritĂŠ en tout temps. Mon objectif est que chaque animal se sente en confiance, apaisĂŠ et bien entourĂŠ, mĂŞme en lâabsence de sa personne.
âHaving Ilya take care of our cat Chickpea for a few days was absolutely worth it. The experience from start to finish was top notch - Ilya is very responsive, accommodating, and clearly attuned to your petâs care needs. Booking and reviewing Chickpeaâs routine was super smooth, we received updates and pictures while we were gone, and we came back to a very happy little garbanzo bean. What more can you ask for? We would definitely trust Ilya with Chickpeaâs care again in the future.â

âWe had such a great experience with Maurane. She took great care of our cat and kept us updated and sent us pictures, which we really appreciated. Everything went smoothly and our kitty was happyâhighly recommend and will book again!â

About: I absolutely love all animals, but Iâm definitely a dog person! Iâve had my little Cooper for 9 years, and Iâve been surrounded by animals my whole life. Iâm currently studying for my DESS, which gives me free time and flexibility to go for walks, spend time at the park, or take care of your dogs! Iâm quite active and can easily adapt to your dogâs energy level. In the past, Iâve cared for several pets for friends, including puppies, cats, and reactive/rescue dogs, and I also have experience administering oral medications. Dogs are one of the greatest joys in my life, and I would be more than happy to meet and take care of your đś. Jâadore tous tous tous les animaux, mais je suis dĂŠfinitivement une dog person! Jâai mon petit Cooper depuis 9 ans et jâai ĂŠtĂŠ entourĂŠ dâanimaux toute ma vie. Je suis prĂŠsentement aux ĂŠtudes au DESS, ce qui me laisse du temps libre et de la flexibilitĂŠ pour aller faire des promenades, passer du temps au parc ou garder vos chiens! Je suis une personne assez active et je peux facilement mâadapter au niveau dâĂŠnergie de votre chien. Par le passĂŠ, jâai gardĂŠ plusieurs animaux de compagnie pour des amies incluant des chiots, des chats et des chiens rĂŠactifs/rescues, et jâai ĂŠgalement de lâexpĂŠrience pour administrer des mĂŠdicaments oralement. Les chiens sont une des plus grandes joies dans ma vie et ça me ferait plus que plaisir de rencontrer et de mâoccuper de votre đś. Iâm currently studying full time for my DESS at HEC and have a lot of free time and flexibility.

About: Experienced Cat Sitter | Medication & Insulin Care | Downtown Montreal Hi everyone, Iâm Gina, an experienced and caring pet sitter based in downtown Montreal. I have been caring for animals for more than 12 years, and pets have always been an important part of my life. I currently have an 11-year-old cat who requires daily insulin injections, so I am comfortable caring for cats with diabetes, administering medication, following feeding schedules, and monitoring changes in behaviour or health. Earlier this year, I said goodbye to my beloved dog and best friend, who meant the world to me. Caring for him throughout his life taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved, especially when their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I will treat your cat with kindness, respect, and attention, while keeping you updated with photos and messages during each visit. I study full time and work part time, and caring for pets is something that brings peace and balance to my daily life. I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals and giving them attentive, loving care. I have a cat who is growing up with dog. I have an apartment and it fits small to medium dog, Iâm okay with them on furniture.
âLaura a effectuĂŠ des visites pour mon chat pendant quelques jours. Tout s'est bien passĂŠ, j'ai reçu des nouvelles rĂŠgulièrement et elle a rĂŠussi Ă apprivoiser mon chat qui est pourtant très timide. Je recommande les services de Laura !â

âI needed someone at the last minute, and was not home to give the keys or instructions. Fiorella seamlessly received and followed instructions remotely to get access to the keys and take care of my old lady cat. I strongly recommend her!â


About: I've grown up around animals my whole life â German Shepherds, an English Staffy, and cats over the years. Right now I have a 10-month-old kitten of my own, so I know the energy (and mischief) young pets bring. I work from home, which means your pet is never left alone during the day. I'm in an apartment with a large grassy area and parks nearby for dog walks, and I'm fully set up for cats. My two kids (3 and 6) are gentle and great with animals. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than around it. I'm here for feeding, walks, play, and check-ins throughout the day and evening, with flexibility on timing. Weekends are open too, and pets are never left alone for long stretches. In my home, pets stay in a calm apartment with a large grassy area and nearby parks for walks. I keep cats and dogs comfortable, watch feeding and litter or bathroom routines, and make sure everyone has their own space. Because I work from home, I can spot anything off early. In a client's home, I follow your routines closely and keep your space exactly as you left it.
About: Love caring for animals, experienced with senior, shy and spicy cats too! I can walk your dog and I can house sit when youâre 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.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Mont-Royal is $23

Alessia a ĂŠtĂŠ gĂŠniale comme gardienne pour ma chatte Colette pendant mon absence de 10 jours. Par les nombreuses photos et vidĂŠos que jâai reçues, il ĂŠtait ĂŠvident quâelles ont crĂŠĂŠ un lien, bien que ma chatte est de nature timide. Alessia a contribuĂŠ Ă rendre mon absence beaucoup plus agrĂŠable car je savais Colette entre excellentes mains.

Alexandra was communicative, reliable, considerate, and intuitive when it came to Bonnie's needs. She sent me daily updates about how Bonnie and my father were doing, followed my care instructions carefully, and was very gentle with Bonnie who moves at her own pace when making new friends. Instead of rushing or forcing a connection, she respected Bonnie's space and boundaries while being a consistent and safe presence for her while I was away. She also kept an eye on Bonnie's daily water intake and her stool regularity without being prompted to do so. She was lovely to work with as a pet sitter, and I'd hire her again.

Jane is always amazing with our cats! She leaves detailed notes after every visit, sends lots of pictures, and communicates with us throughout. She is always easy to reach, and our cats absolutely love her and have such a great time with her. We always feel completely at ease knowing theyâre in her care! đ

Samuel was a lifesaver! 𼚠He came over on very short notice when I had a last-minute outing, and it was his first time taking care of my cat. He followed all my instructions perfectly, kept him well-fed and entertained, and took such good care of him. Iâm so grateful and would absolutely recommend him!

Charlène a vraiment bien pris soin de nos plumeux! Elle nâavait pas peur de leurs morsures et a su relever le dĂŠfi de les rentrer dans leurs cages après leurs exercices! Elle a un tempĂŠrament calme et communique clairement. Nous la recommandons, mon conjoint et moi.

Charlotte a visitÊ notre chat durant 1 semaine à domicile. Elle a ÊtÊ très professionnelle et rassurante. Nous avons reçu des nouvelles et des photos à tous les jours. Il est Êvident que Charlotte adore les animaux ! Je recommande fortement ses services !

Pascal was amazing with Regine, our elderly cat, while we were out of town for the weekend. Two visits, meds given on time, lots playtime too - and great photo updates after each visit made our know she was having fun and in great hands. Communicating and booking through Rover with Pascal was super easy. They also held onto our house key as a safety net for Regine - should we have not made it back when planned, they were ready to go check on her again. Such a thoughtful touch. We found Pascal through friendsâ recommendation and now totally get why. Weâll definitely be booking Pascal again!
Magalie s'est occupÊe de garder notre chat adorÊ pendant 3 semaines à notre domicile, deux fois par jour. Magalie est une formidable gardienne! Elle lui a administrÊ son traitement mÊdical et a ÊtÊ très affectueuse avec lui. à notre retour, nous avons retrouvÊ notre chat très serein, comme si nous n'Êtions jamais parti!. Magalie a communiquÊ avec nous tous les jours avec des nouvelles et des photos. La communication avec elle est très agrÊable et facile. Magalie est une personne de confiance et nous sommes très heureux de l'avoir trouvÊe! Je la recommande à 100%.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Mont-Royal is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $42 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,811 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Mont-Royal. About 85% of Mont-Royal sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether youâre planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a to ensure they are a perfect fit for your petâs personality before confirming.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your petâs routine and the sitterâs availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your petâs usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitterâs schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. Youâll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
