“J’ai confié mon chat Yummy à cette gardienne 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.”

“Umut a été fantastique avec Amandine. Il a réussi à la faire sortir de sa cachette sous le divan. En plus de la nourrir, il lui a donné ses gâteries et il a brossé plusieurs fois son pelage. Le fait qu’il m’envoie un rapport et photo de chaque visite m’a beaucoup plue et rassurée. Bref, je le recommande fortement! J’utiliserai ses services la prochaine fois. Un grand Merci!”

About: Hello! My name is Sarah, and I’m a pet sitter/walker in MTL. I have experience taking care of my beloved family dog, Rocky, for nine years. I’m now living away from my family, and would love the opportunity to take care of your furry friends!! My first language is English, but I also speak French, Spanish, and Italian. I’m a full-time Masters student, so my availability is mainly on weekends. I am also available in the evenings on weekdays, beginning at 6 pm. I am very attentive and attuned to safety, and I care deeply about keeping your pet safe while in my care. I’ll also make sure they have lots of fun!

About: I have taken care of my roommates pets since 2022, meaning I have 4 years of petsitting experience with dogs and cats. From potty walks to long playdates to ensuring giving elderly pets medicine on time, I am an organized and responsible animal lover who will ensure your pet's safety while making them feel loved and taken care of! I currently have a flexible schedule so most weekdays and weekends, mornings or evenings work as long as I am given at least 1 day notice! I ensure I know where they are at all times. I check on them intentionally and frequently to confirm there's no symptoms of discomfort or any general problem. I set alarms for their needs such as food, water, walks, medicine, etc. I pet them and play with them as much as they and their owners allow me!

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’m available for walks and drop-in visits in the mornings and evenings. I can also pop in during the day if your pet needs a potty break, a meal, or just some company. I’m available for both boarding and house-sitting throughout the week. I work a hybrid schedule, so I’m home during the day a couple of weekdays and full-time on weekends. I’m especially happy to care for pets who enjoy having some company, attention, and cuddles throughout their stay. I am a very organized person and will make sure that your pet has all the care and company he/she needs. I'm prepared to follow your instructions on what you think is best for them!

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: English // Français: Entirely bilingual // Entièrement bilingue -- French follows below I basically grew up around animals; my mother is a vet, and when I was a kid I'd beg to go to her clinic with her and take care of all the dogs and cats. I've spent time volunteering at her clinic, helping care for animals and becoming comfortable around pets with different needs. She's taught me how to recognize that a pet may not be feeling well, how to respond appropriately, how to administer oral medications, and how to know when it would be important to contact the owner. She is also the reason I am incredibly comfortable around any and all kinds of animals. I've cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I'm happy to adapt my care to each pet's individual needs. I have never met a pet I didn't immediately love, and you can expect plenty of photo updates... Finding the right angle is my favourite activity! I will make sure to keep your furry friend safe, accompanied, and happy, whether this be on walks or while house sitting! My goal as a dog sitter / walker is to make sure that you as an owner feel at ease knowing your fluff-ball is in caring and capable hands, and that your pet is happy and safe. Please don't hesitate to contact me for any information at all! I reply quickly, my schedules are very flexible, and I would love to hear about your pets and whether I'd be a good fit for them. See you soon! --- Je m'occupe des animaux depuis mon plus jeune âge; ma mère est vétérinaire et, enfant, je la suppliais de m'emmener à la clinique pour m'occuper des animaux présents. C'est grâce à elle que j'adore autant les animaux. Elle m'a également appris à reconnaître les signes indiquant qu'un animal ne se sent peut-être pas bien, à l'aider et à suivre efficacement les instructions de soins donné par un propriétaire. J'ai beaucoup expérience avec toutes sortes de chiens, et je sais m'adapter à chacun d'eux. Je n'ai jamais rencontré un chien que je n'ai pas immédiatement adoré, et je prendrai volontiers des photos de votre compagnon à quatre pattes lors de nos sorties. C'est ce que je préfère faire! Je veillerai à ce que votre animal soit en sécurité, bien entouré et heureux, que ce soit lors de promenades ou pendant une garde à domicile. Mon objectif principal en tant que "dog-sitter" ou promeneur est de vous rassurer en tant que propriétaire, et que vous savez avec certitude que votre compagnon est entre des mains expérimentées. N'hésitez surtout pas à me contacter pour toutes informations! Je réponds rapidement, mes horaires sont très flexibles et je serais ravi d'en savoir plus sur vos animaux et de voir si je leur conviendrais. À bientôt ! I own a dog myself, so I am no stranger to the feeding, walking, and cleaning routines that come with owning a pet. All I need are a few clear instructions on how you'd like me to care for your pet, and I will get right to it. For any service I offer, I make sure I properly get to know your pet as one of my own, and I can easily take to adapting to their living rhythms. I understand how stressful it can be for a pet to suddenly have a new person around, so remaining within their comfort zone stays my priority as an adaptable sitter to make sure they're as happy as possible.

About: Hi there! I am a friendly young professional from British Columbia 🌊🌲🏔️ and a lifelong animal lover with a rich history of caring for various pets. I have flexibility to provide the best possible care for your pets! Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have; I’d love to chat! I have a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care for your pets throughout the week. I work from home most of the time, although I do have a couple part-time commitments outside of the house. I love taking dogs on long walks, playing fetch at the park, meeting new furry friends, and discovering new neighbourhoods around the city. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Before walks, I always check gates and fences, and I make sure all doors are locked before leaving the house. I also remove any hazards, secure garbage, and double-check food areas to minimize risks. I prepare for unexpected situations by knowing your veterinarian’s location and the fastest route there in case of an emergency. You can trust that your pets will be safe, happy, and well-cared for while in my care.

Naomi was great to work with. She is very thorough, and this made me very comfortable leaving my cats in her hands. She was attentive to my cats and never put any pressure on them (my cats can take a while to warm up to someone). She was patient, and her messages/pictures put our minds at ease while away.

This was my first time leaving my cats after having moved them into a new place, and Heather did such a great job watching them.

Nacho a été chouchouté comme il fallait et a eu toute la compagnie dont il avait besoin pendant notre absence, ce qui nous a permis de partir l’esprit totalement tranquille.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Montréal

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Montréal on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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 798 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 798 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.
