J’ai confié mon chat Yummy à Naomi pendant mes 6 semaines de vacances, avec des visites du lundi au jeudi, et je suis vraiment très satisfaite. Elle est toujours ponctuelle et prend un excellent soin de Yummy. Dès les premières visites, elle a compris sa personnalité et ses besoins. Elle a tout de suite remarqué que Yummy adore surtout les câlins et l’attention, bien plus que les jeux, et elle s’est parfaitement adaptée à elle. Elle prend aussi le temps de vérifier que tout va bien dans la maison, notamment s’il y a du vomi ou tout autre signe qui pourrait indiquer un problème de santé. Elle surveille son humeur, son comportement et son état général avec beaucoup d’attention. Chaque jour, je recevais des nouvelles accompagnées de nombreuses photos, ce qui était très rassurant. Yummy semblait vraiment apprécier sa compagnie, et ça se voyait qu’elle était à l’aise avec elle. Grâce à son sérieux et à sa bienveillance, j’ai pu profiter pleinement de mon voyage l’esprit tranquille. Elle est également très flexible : lorsque mes amis ne pouvaient pas passer le week-end, j’ai pu ajouter des visites sans problème. Je la recommande sans hésitation à toute personne qui cherche quelqu’un de fiable, attentionné et passionné pour s’occuper de son animal.

About: I had experience caring for a few friends' cats while they were away. I visited twice a day to feed the cat, provide fresh water, clean the litter box, and spend time playing and keeping the cat company. I understand how important it is to follow the owner's instructions carefully and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I'm a patient, responsible, and detail-oriented person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I treat every pet with kindness and care, and I'll always provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I currently only have a part-time job with a flexible schedule and can dedicate time to caring for your pets throughout the week. I'm available for drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I'll always make sure your pet receives the attention, care, and routine they are used to while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always follow the owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), and any specific routines. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I respect both your home and your pet's routine, and I'll provide updates and photos after each visit so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.

We were worried about leaving our senior cat alone while we travelled, but Eve took wonderful care of her! Her photos and texts during her visits left me assured that Daisy was being well cared for. Eve quickly learned our cat's personality and responded lovingly with what she needed. Eve left everything tidy. We will book Eve to take care of our cat again!

Having 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 pet’s care needs. Booking and reviewing Chickpea’s 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 Chickpea’s care again in the future.

It was a pleasure to work with Umut. He was very very polite, conscientious and took great care of my old lady, including giving her medication. He was 100% reliable and I felt confident my kitty was in great hands. I will certainly use his services again next time I go on vacation. Thank you again Umut

About: I grew up with a Beagle, helping with his daily care, including feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. Growing up in Istanbul, where caring for community cats and dogs is part of everyday life, I've also spent years looking after stray animals by providing food, water, and companionship. I'm also a proud cat mom; my cat, Timon, now lives with my mom back home in Istanbul. I can pet sit at your place and keep your fur baby company while you are away! Cuddles and fun come free of charge :)! I am a very organized person and will make sure that your fur baby has all the care and company he/she needs. I'm prepared to follow your instructions on what you think is best for your pet!

About: (French and Russian will follow) I offer playful, relaxed dog walking for your much-loved pets. I also provide drop-in visits and house-sitting services for dogs, cats, and all other animals! 🐾🐶🐈🐰🦔🐁🪶🫧 Growing up, my family had several different breeds of dogs, cats and even a parrot. So, I understand that every pet has a unique personality. They may be shy, independent, playful, or cuddly, and so I approach each one with patience and genuine care. I’m very observant of their moods, which gives me the ability to prioritize their comfort and needs. I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine, meeting feeding and grooming needs. My goal is for your furry family members to feel relaxed and safe while they are waiting for your return. ❤️ —— Je propose des promenades ludiques et détendues pour vos chers compagnons à quatre pattes. Je propose également des visites à domicile et des services de garde pour chiens, chats et tous les autres animaux ! 🐾🐶🐈🐰🦔🐁🪶🫧 Ayant grandi entourée de plusieurs races de chiens, de chats et même d'un perroquet, je sais que chaque animal a sa propre personnalité. Qu'ils soient timides, indépendants, joueurs ou câlins, je les aborde avec patience et bienveillance. Attentive à leurs humeurs, je peux veiller à leur confort et à leurs besoins. Je comprends l'importance d'une routine régulière et de l'entretien de leur alimentation et de leur toilettage. Mon objectif est que vos compagnons à quatre pattes se sentent détendus et en sécurité en attendant votre retour. ❤️ —— Я предлагаю игривые и спокойные прогулки с вашими любимыми питомцами. Также предоставляю услуги по присмотру за собаками, кошками и другими животными на дому! 🐾🐶🐈🐰🦔🐁🪶🫧 В детстве у моей семьи было несколько разных пород собак, кошек и даже попугай. Поэтому я понимаю, что у каждого питомца уникальный характер. Они могут быть застенчивыми, независимыми, игривыми или ласковыми, поэтому я отношусь к каждому с терпением и искренней заботой. Я очень внимательно наблюдаю за их настроением, что позволяет мне уделять первостепенное внимание их комфорту и потребностям. Я понимаю важность поддержания постоянного режима, удовлетворения потребностей в кормлении и уходе. Моя цель — чтобы ваши пушистые члены семьи чувствовали себя расслабленно и безопасно, пока ждут вашего возвращения. ❤️ On weekdays, my whole pet care routine is built around my day shift, which doesn't stop me from dropping by to take care of your furry babies early in the morning, before or after work. I'm more flexible on the weekends and will structure my schedule around your pets' routine. I will ensure that your pets feel relaxed, well-fed, and happy while I care for them. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and medication routines. Additionally, I will provide you with regular photo updates of your pets.

About: When I lived with my parents, I took care of my puppy with my mom, we bought food and toys, gave her bath, walk and run with her a lot, clipped nails and brushed. Prefer drop-in visits to walk a dog, which I can do everyday except Wednesday. Prefer weekends, I'm typically free on Thursday afternoons, Saturdays, and Sundays. I can give your pets walks, feed them, play with them, and update with you. I live in an apartment downtown where I don't have pets.

About: I have always loved animals and grew up caring for pets, including my own Maltese, which has given me strong hands-on experience with daily care, grooming needs, and understanding a dog’s behavior and emotions. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have also looked after other pets for family and friends, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable in their environment. I am attentive to each pet’s personality and routine, and I always aim to provide a calm, safe, and affectionate atmosphere. I treat every animal as if it were my own, ensuring they receive both reliable care and plenty of attention while their owners are away. I am a McGill student with a flexible schedule and generally finish school early, around 2:30 PM, which allows me to be available for afternoon and evening visits or walks on weekdays. I am fully available on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and I am happy to accommodate early morning or later evening requests when needed. I am reliable, punctual, and willing to adapt to your pet’s routine to ensure they receive consistent care and attention. For drop-in visits, I focus on making sure your pet is fed on time, has fresh water, and feels reassured while you are away. I follow your instructions carefully so their routine stays consistent and stress-free. For walks, I ensure pets get safe and appropriate exercise based on their energy level, while always prioritizing their comfort and security. I am attentive, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you know your pet is well cared for.

Maire was an absolute dream sitter! She stopped in for visits with my anxious 2 year old cat while we were away for 6 days. She was great at communicating and sent lots of photos and updates for each visit. My shy boy instantly loved her and I felt so relieved that he didn't just hide away all week. She had him playing and snuggling. We had an unexpected vet visit just before we left for our trip and she was so great at accommodating the last minute addition to his care. I couldn't recommend her more!! If we need a sitter again I would definitely hope she'd available.

About: I've had the joy of caring for many pets over the years! My personal highlights definitely include a family friend's rambunctious little puppy and my own lovely two dogs and two cats as they've grown into old age. Now away at university, I've been missing long walks and playtime, and I'd love to get to know your pets! I'm available at all hours of the day to help care for your beloved pets! University will reclaim all my waking hours during finals season in a few months, but for now I'm free as a bird. I can comfortably administer medication at regular intervals, care for senior animals with special needs, give baths, and work with puppies on basic training. I don't shy away from messes or fur. I'll ensure your pet receives all the love and careful attention they need!

About: I had pets for as long as I can remember: dogs of many sizes, as well as many cats! I provide lots of love, hugs, scratches, and playtime! I can administer oral medication, shower, and groom (only to some extent). I am a university student looking for company and love to give! During summer, I do work during the day, but I am free early mornings and nights for your pet. I am often free during the weekend as well so I’ll spend lots of time home. At my home, I can only accommodate cats because dogs are not allowed. Cats are free to do as they please :) I will adapt to their schedule (feeding time, brushing time, etc.) and respect their boundaries.

Karine was absolutely wonderful with both of my cats. One of them is very shy, and she approached him with patience and gentleness. My other cat is demanding and requires medication twice a day, and she handled his routine with total confidence and care. Karine kept me updated throughout my trip with photos and videos and I felt my cats and home are in good hands. I couldn’t ask for a more responsible, caring cat sitter.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Montréal

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Montréal on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 800 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Montréal. About 88% of Montréal sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re 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 Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 800 sitters in Montréal, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Montréal 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 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
