About: I’ve had cats since I was 7 and have over 20 years of experience caring for animals. I currently have two cats (ages 16 and 7), so I’m very comfortable with both senior and adult pet needs. I’ve also helped care for dogs through walking, feeding, and sitting for friends and family. I’m attentive, patient, and reliable, and I take time to understand each pet’s personality. Your pet will be cared for, happy, and relaxed while you’re away. I’m available every weekday after 12 PM and fully available on weekends. This allows me to offer flexible scheduling for walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine, whether that’s afternoon walks, evening care, or weekend coverage. I always aim to be reliable and responsive, and I can adjust my availability when needed to ensure your pet receives consistent, attentive care. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment.I always follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible (feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions) to help them feel comfortable and secure. I keep everything tidy in clients' homes while giving pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I make sure they get enough exercise, enrichment, and affection, and I monitor their behavior closely to ensure they’re happy and healthy. I create a stress-free environment with lots of supervision, playtime, and rest. I’m especially attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, or senior. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands
About: As a cat owner, I’m highly responsible, organized, and reliable with daily care routines. I’ve always felt a natural connection with dogs and have enjoyed spending time walking and caring for friends' dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like family. I’d love to provide your pup with safe, energetic, and fun walks! I'm doing working holidays in Montreal right now and am volunteering in a Hostel. So I've got plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for your dogs or cats. I can only visit at client's home while I'm staying with hosts or hostels during my working holidays. First I'd always listen to what pet parents would tell me about their pets at home, because it's their home and not mine. So I'd try to follow the instructions and give the pet the most "normal" feeling.
About: J'adore les animaux et m'assurer de leur bien-être me rend heureuse. Que vous ayez un chien, un chat, un lapin, une perruche, un furet ou même une poule, peu importe leurs besoins, leurs habitudes ou leurs particularités, je m'assure de tout prendre en compte. Besoin de marcher trois fois par jour? Allons-y. Dépendant affectif plein d'anxiété? Jamais trop de câlins et de mots doux. Hyperactif et tout plein d'énergie? Ça tombe bien, moi aussi. Et, si jamais vos animaux vous manquent, ça me fera plaisir de vous envoyer des photos et des nouvelles autant que vous en voudrez. Bref, si vous devez quitter vos petits compagnons, soignez sans crainte qu'ils seront entre de bonnes mains. Étant intervenante sociale dans les écoles secondaires, je suis en congé tout l'été! Donc je suis disponible vraiment n'importe quand, autant de temps que vous en avez besoin. Je m'adapte à vos besoins et à ceux de vos animaux! Donc n'hésitez pas à me communiquer toute information et je saurai m'assurer que tout se passe bien.
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, and looking after them has always been a part of my everyday routine. From friends, family, and neighbors often count on me to help out with walks, feedings, baths, or just keeping their dogs company when they’re away. I love getting to know each dog’s personality—whether they’re playful, shy, or just want a calm cuddle—and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their people are gone. I’m a full-time student, but I keep Fridays through Sundays open for pet care. Weekday afternoons can also be flexible, so I have time to walk, play with, and look after your pups when you need an extra hand. I make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable, whether they’re staying at my place or I’m visiting yours. At home, I have a fenced yard and open space for them to roam and fun. I always supervise playtime, keep fresh water available, and can crate dogs if that’s what they’re used to. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routines so they feel secure and cared for.
About: Je m’occupe de chiens depuis plus de 12 ans et j’ai toujours grandi entourée d’eux. J’ai régulièrement aidé des proches, des voisins et des amis en promenant, nourrissant et gardant leurs chiens pendant leurs absences. Je suis une personne calme, attentionnée et responsable, et je veille à respecter les habitudes et les besoins de chaque chien. J’aime passer du temps à jouer, me promener et leur apporter toute l’attention et l’affection dont ils ont besoin afin que leurs propriétaires puissent partir l’esprit tranquille. Je peux également envoyer des photos et des nouvelles régulières pendant la garde. Je suis actuellement très flexible et j’ai du temps à consacrer aux chiens. Je peux m’adapter à leurs habitudes de promenade, de repas et de repos. Je suis disponible en semaine ainsi que certains week-ends pour des promenades, des visites à domicile ou des gardes selon les besoins des propriétaires. Lorsque je m’occupe d’un chien, sa sécurité et son bien-être sont ma priorité. Je respecte attentivement les consignes des propriétaires et prends le temps de connaître les habitudes et le tempérament de chaque chien afin qu’il se sente en confiance. Lors des promenades, je veille à évoluer dans des endroits sûrs et à toujours garder le chien en laisse si nécessaire. Pendant les visites à domicile, je m’assure qu’il reçoive toute l’attention, l’affection et les soins dont il a besoin. Je peux également envoyer régulièrement des photos et des nouvelles pour rassurer les propriétaires.
About: I've had my own dog for over 10 years, she's not just a pet, she's family. Trough every stage of her life, I've learned how to care for dogs with patience, love and attention to detail. I've also have experience of working in a dog shelter as a volunteer, where I learned how to handle nervous, energetic or shy dogs. I'll make sure your dog feels safe, loved and happy. I am available most days and times, including weekdays, weekends and even last-minute booking. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I'm happy to adjust to your routine I treat every pet as if they were my own, and their safety and comfort always come first. I always stay alert and I'll be happy to follow any specific instructions you provide, from feeding schedules to medications and leash preferences. You can trust that your pet will be in calm, capable and loving hands with me.
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.
“Irmak is thoughtful and caring. She is informative with her texting. She also helped with first aid on my dog. Although dog walking was new to her as we were her first client, she took on my powerful dog and had gained my confidence in her abilities :)”
About: Hi 👋 I’m Jingyi — pet sitter, dog walker, and animal lover based in Montreal 🐾 I’ve always loved the calm, joyful energy animals bring, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind through attentive communication and regular updates. ✨ Why pet parents choose Joyful Paws 🧘 Calm & Attentive Care I keep my bookings limited so every pet receives personalized attention, patience, and a low-stress environment tailored to their needs and energy level. 💬 Frequent Updates & Trustworthy Communication One thing my clients consistently appreciate is how attentive and communicative I am.

I live in a clean, calm, child-free apartment and currently do not have pets of my own, creating a quiet and dedicated environment for your pet to feel relaxed and secure 💛 I work from home most of the week, which allows me to be present and flexible. I’m typically home during the day and able to provide consistent attention, playtime, and companionship. I live in a clean, calm, child-free apartment.

“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'm a lifelong animal lover, and whilst I have more experience with cats, I am also the go-to dog-sitter for my brother's two dogs whenever they need care or looking after! I have experience handling everything from feeding and walks to looking after them overnight. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and undivided attention I would give my own pets! I have just moved to Montreal and am currently taking French classes to improve my language skills, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons between 1:30pm - 4:30pm. Otherwise, I have a lot of free time and am willing to be flexible to yours and your pet's schedule! I am currently in a sublet that has two indoor cats, so I wouldn't be able to care for pets in my own home. But I would be very happy to stay with your pet in your home and provide any care as needed! I am trustworthy and reliable, and I am truly doing this for the love of animals!
“Celeste is definitely a cat lover! She took great care of my cat and was wonderful to work with! She sent daily updates, and shared lots of photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I've sat for dogs, cats, fish, and rabbits throughout my life. I am particularly used to caring for dogs, having raised two family dogs. Experienced with hard leash tuggers, puppies, senior dogs, training, playtime, and of course petting. My top priority is keeping your dog happy and safe. I'm currently available full time this summer. I'm flexible for any time or duration, weekdays or weekends. Let me know your needs and we can make it work. I'm careful to keep an eye on your pet even when they're resting. I am always respectful of my surroundings and try to leave things looking the same when I leave. I hope to build a great rapport with your dog and keep it fun for them.
About: With over 10 years of experience and my whole life growing up with my family’s three energetic dogs. I understand the love and attention your furry friend deserves. Whether it's playtime, walks, baths, or snuggles, your dog will be in caring and experienced hands. I’ll make sure your dog's time away from home is as happy and stress-free as possible! I am a part time student with classes only a few hours a week so my schedule is very flexible for whenever you need me! I can not provide care for your pet in my home unfortunately. However if you need my services I will prioritize your dog's safety and comfort by following your home routines, instructions and providing attentive care. I will respect your space and privacy, and keep your dog comfortable and happy!
About: Hi! I am Maria and I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals. I’ve been surrounded by them my whole life. Ive had two dogs (bichon frise, German shepherd), my uncle has a farm in which he raised all kind of animals. I’ve been far from home and far from my dogs for far too long, and I’ve been missing the feeling of taking care of them🥹 I’m currently a part time student during summer, but I’m pretty flexible any day of the week, especially during afternoons and early mornings, and anytime during the weekends! I live in an apartment, and I’ve always been surrounded by pets! I live next to a really nice walking area, where everywhere I go I find myself surrounded by pups and all kinds of cuties! So your pets will be in really good hands!💕

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Montréal
Evelyne has been helping us train our dog to be calmer and more comfortable around people, and we’ve already seen such a big difference. She’s so patient, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Every session is relaxed and positive. You can tell she genuinely cares about both the dogs and their owners, and she always makes us feel supported and encouraged. We’re so happy with how far our dog has come and are excited to keep working with her. If you’re looking for someone who makes training enjoyable, I would absolutely recommend Evelyne!
My dog Mika really enjoyed spending time with Lara! Her presence and care made Mika's time alone much easier and she was noticeably calmer when I came back home. Lara took the time to play and cuddle with Mika so she can spend her energy and just give her some good company. The whole experience was very smooth and stress free for me as well. I recommend Lara to anyone who wants their pet to be well taken care of in their absence
Brittany is the dream sitter for my Jacky! I couldn’t ask for anyone better. She comes to visit him twice a week when I’m at the office to keep him company and take him for walks. Brittany is reliable, always on time, responsive, and adapts very well to Jacky’s needs and little quirks. She has already built a wonderful bond with him. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly wonderful sitter for their pet! 🐾💕
Truly can't recommend Stephanie enough! I low key wan't to stop reviewing her because selfishly do not want her to be over booked so that we can't book her anymore hahaha.

There are 1,676 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Montréal. About 83% 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.
Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available during your working hours. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Montréal stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 dog, 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.
