“Mathieu est une personne très douce et respectueuse qui s’est super bien occupé de nos chats en notre absence ! Nous avons eu des nouvelles à chaque passage avec des photos montrant qu’ils ont bien été chouchoutés (gratouilles/ jeux). L’un de nos deux chat a un caractère plus difficile que l’autre. Il a su s’y s’adapter sans aucune crainte et avec facilité ce qui nous a permis de partir en étant très sereins. Merci à lui ! Nous referont appel à ses services avec grand plaisir !”
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 grew up around (minimum) 4 dogs my whole life and now would cherish the opportunity to care for your pet! I was heavily involved in the care and training of my pets and have taken various puppy training courses. I have gotten the chance to know lots of different furry friends - big and small- and am confident in my ability to care for all kinds of pets. I am a part-time student at McGill in my last year of study. I am finding myself with lots of free time and would love the opportunity to fill it up pet play time and walks! Thursday to Sunday is completely open and I never have obligations outside the home for more than 4 hours. I have access to a shared fenced yard outdoor space and I have a spare room that can fit any and all pet supplies. My home space is always tidy and organized as it is a reflection of me. Growing up with animals I understand the importance of clearing a room of potential dangers (left out food, toxic plants, etc).
“Karen is a reliable, professional and caring cat-sitter. She took great care of my 1.5 y/o tabby, updating me with pictures and providing detailed info at each visit. I’m glad I could count on Karen to drop-in and would definitely want her to care for my fur baby again in the future!”
About: Je suis né entourée d’animaux. J’ai vu mes chiens passer de petits bébés à de grands chiens et mes petits chats grandir. Je me suis occupée d’eux bébé, adultes et parfois plus âgés. Je pense que cela me rends apte à m’occuper de n’importe lequel de vos amis à poil et de m’adapter à leur besoins spécifiques. Je suis actuellement étudiante à l’ÉTS, je suis donc disponible lors des pauses dîners et des demis journées où je n’ai pas cours ainsi que les week end pour m’occuper de vos animaux. Je ne garde que les chats dans mon appartement si ceux là sont habitué à une vie en intérieur. Chez vous je m’adapte à vos règles et aux besoins de vos animaux pour m’assurer que le changement les impactent le moins possible.
About: Experienced Cat Sitter | Medication & Insulin Care | Downtown Montreal Hi everyone, I’m 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, I’m okay with them on furniture.
About: Ce qui me distingue, c'est mon instinct du terrain et ma capacité à rester calme face à l'énergie. Ayant grandi avec des Braques (Allemand et Weimar), je sais exactement ce que signifie gérer un chien athlétique qui a besoin de se dépenser sans s'éparpiller. Je suis sportive et je ne me laisse pas impressionner par les grands gabarits ou les chiens qui tirent. Je sais canaliser leur fougue par la dépense physique, tout en maintenant une structure rassurante. Je ne stresse pas. Que ce soit pour un chiot qui fait une bêtise ou un chat qui a besoin de tranquillité, j'apporte une présence posée. Mon organisation me permet de suivre scrupuleusement vos routines (heures de repas, médicaments, habitudes de balade). Je suis actuellement étudiante et travaille à temps partiel à l'université. Je suis donc disponible assez souvent dans la semaine et aussi le week-end au besoin. Mon approche est simple : je m'adapte au rythme de votre foyer pour que votre animal ne ressente aucun stress en votre absence. Dès mon arrivée, je prends le temps de saluer votre compagnon avec calme (sans l'envahir). Je vérifie immédiatement l'eau, l'état de la litière ou du jardin, et je m'assure que tout est sécurisé dans la maison. Je suis très organisée. Les dosages de nourriture, les horaires de médicaments ou les petites habitudes (le doudou spécifique, la lumière allumée...) sont suivis à la lettre.
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: J’ai grandi entourée d’animaux et je m’occupe d’eux depuis plus de 12 ans. Je suis douce, patiente et attentionnée, et j’adore apprendre à connaître leur personnalité. Je m’adapte à leurs habitudes et à leurs besoins pour qu’ils se sentent à l’aise, en confiance et surtout bien entourés. J’ai un horaire assez flexible, ce qui me permet d’avoir du temps à consacrer à vos animaux. Je peux facilement m’adapter à leurs habitudes et à leur routine, que ce soit pour les promenades, les repas, les jeux ou simplement leur tenir compagnie Je fais toujours en sorte que chaque animal se sente en sécurité et à l’aise avec moi. Je respecte les consignes et les habitudes que vous me donnez et je reste attentive à leurs besoins. Je prendrai soin de votre compagnon comme si c’était le mien.
“I've booked with Brisa a few times now because I trust her wholeheartedly with taking care of my cats while I'm away! They love her and are so excited to see her for each visit. She's super attentive and caring. It gives me such peace of mind to know they're in good hands while I'm out of town. Thank you again, Brisa!”
About: I have been dog walking and dog sitting since I was 15 and I have two dogs of my own as well. I love dogs so much and my spirit animal is definitely a dog because I also love walks and cheese. I am currently a student at Concordia University and I have classes Tuesdays and Thursdays so I am available for dog walking and dog sitting every other day but Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have brought my dog to dog trainers before and have learned the best ways to assert dominance and how to make sure my dogs are safe and happy. I also always try to learn the new and best ways to train dogs.
“Marilyn was really responsible gentleman and communicated perfectly. If you are looking for a sitter but it's hard for you to find someone you can trust she is the perfect person for it. From now on she would be my go to sitter!”
About: Born an animal lover, I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life. Missing my family dogs, Maxi and Angie, and my kitty, Jade, I started fostering cats and dog-sitting. I love going for walks and will care for your pets like my own. Responsible, a great communicator, and affectionate. I also have experience with anxious pets. I'm currently working part-time from home (and one half-day in the office), and I am available to care for your pets most days and times. I'm responsible, professional, and communicative. I'm a plant mom to many and can also care for your household plants. I understand the importance of privacy, confidentiality, and trust.
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: I’ve grown up with 3 dogs and have been taking care of dogs and various animals around my neighborhood for years. I enjoy training puppies and also taking care of senior dogs. J'ai grandi avec 3 chiens et je m'occupe de chiens et de divers animaux dans mon quartier depuis des années. J'aime dresser les chiots et aussi m'occuper de chiens âgés. I am a student at McGill university but currently in summer break looking for extra work opportunities. Once the school year starts, part time sitting and walking will fit in perfectly with my schedule. Je suis étudiante à l'université McGill, mais je suis actuellement en vacances d'été à la recherche d'opportunités de travail supplémentaires. Une fois l'année scolaire commencée, s'asseoir et marcher à temps partiel s'intégrera parfaitement à mon emploi du temps. I treat your home and pet with the utmost respect. I stick to your instructions, maintain your pet’s routine, and keep everything tidy. Whether it’s giving meds, watering plants, or providing updates and photos, I make sure your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. Je traite votre maison et votre animal de compagnie avec le plus grand respect. Je m'en tiens à vos instructions, je maintiens la routine de votre animal de compagnie et je garde tout en ordre. Qu'il s'agisse de donner des médicaments, d'arroser des plantes ou de fournir des mises à jour et des photos, je m'assure que votre animal de compagnie se sent en sécurité et aimé pendant votre absence.
About: J’ai eu deux chiens pendants 14 ans. J’ai toujours adoré les chiens. comme je sais mon emploi du temps à l’avance , je sais que les jours que j’offre de disponible je serais présent complètement pour m’occuper des animaux. J’habite dans le quartier du mile-end / plateau Mont-Royal et au besoin je peux offrir un service de transport également. J’ai un petit chiot teckel miniature Je travaille a temps partiel. Les journées que j’offre disponible je ne travaille pas et je suis disponible pour m’occuper de votre animal à 100%. J’adore marcher ou même courir si le propriétaire est d’accord. Je vis à 2 minutes du parc du Mont-Royal et j’adorerais marcher mes chiens au haut de la montagne. Endroit idéal pour croiser d’autres chiens. De plus, il y a plusieurs parcs a chiens à proximité. Je suis très flexible selon le besoin des propriétaires; je peux me déplacer chez eux ou les accueillir chez moi. Je priorise les sorties à l’extérieur , les marches etc.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and usually had three at a time, so caring for them has always been second nature. I’m comfortable with daily walks, keeping up with their routines, and making sure their needs are met. I’ve also had cats, and friends and neighbours often trust me to look after their pets or take their dogs out when they need an extra hand. I’m currently working part-time and I’m in university full-time (mainly online classes), so I have a more flexible schedule to fit around your pup’s needs! I like to follow the exact routine given to me by the owner, keeping things as familiar and comfortable as possible for the dog. I monitor the dogs health & am sure to keep owners updated and the space tidy!
About: I've grown up with large dogs my entire life, and don't mind handling one that is a bit more on the energetic side. I've been around horses since I was 2-years old, and have done barn chores and taken care of them since I was 11. I can perform basic first-aid and provide medications as needed, and I am willing to learn about your pet and their needs/habits in order to do what I can to provide the best care! Currently, I am taking a class that runs Monday-Thursday morning from 8:30am-11am, and I take care of horses on the weekends from 7:30am-12:30pm. I would have availability throughout the day on most days to take care of pets and perform the tasks that are asked of me. I have a pretty flexible schedule and am able to come walk pets almost any hour of the day. I will keep your house tidy, and don't mind a little additional clean-up if it is required.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Montréal
Came through for us and Tigger (our 14.5 year old senior Beagle who at this point needs a human around when we have to leave the house) on short notice. Tigger seemed to get along very well with Mason, and you could tell Mason has plenty of experience with senior dogs. We will definitely be booking Mason again in the future!
I had a wonderful experience with Isra! She took Oreo for a full one-hour walk and then spent another half hour at home keeping him and my two cats company. She was very kind, caring, and helpful throughout the entire visit. She kept me updated and sent me pictures, which gave me great peace of mind knowing my fur babies were in good hands. Isra is reliable, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. I truly appreciate her care and attention, and I will definitely be booking her again!
Dina was very professional during our Meet & Greet and put me at ease, she was clearly experienced with dogs. She was punctual and provided photos during her check-in. I was free to enjoy my evening knowing Tilly had been comfortable enough to eat her dinner and had a fun outing. I would book Dina's services again!
Sara is doing an amazing job caring for our furry babies! Sable has a blast with her and gets plenty of pets. Pebbles can be quite shy, but her willingness to come out of her hiding spot demonstrates Sara’s patience and sweet nature. She keeps us updated with pictures and news, which is fantastic. Sara’s also considerate when Sable makes a mess and is patient with both of them.
He did an amazing job taking care of my dog! He was very patient, caring, and attentive, and he followed all of my instructions perfectly. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. He kept me updated and made sure everything was done exactly as requested. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to take care of their pets. I will absolutely book with him again!
Morgan was absolutely amazing with Coco. From the moment we left him with Morgan, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She took such great care of him, gave him so much love and attention, and kept us updated throughout her stay. It was clear that Coco was happy, comfortable, and very well taken care of. We’re so grateful for Morgan and would 100% trust her with Coco again. Thank you so much, Morgan! 🥰 ps: Coco is insulin-dependent and Morgan did well!!
She was an amazing pet sitter! She was patient with my dogs, and I came home to everything clean and exactly as I left it. She followed all of my instructions carefully, kept me updated, and was always attentive, responsible, and kind. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pets were in good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Montréal is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $40 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 pet’s specific needs.

There are 1,677 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Montréal. About 83% of Montréal sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s 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 pet’s 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.
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 .

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