It was the first time using Rover so I was very nervous leaving my baby. Ziqi really was reassuring me, sending me multiple updates throughout the walks. Im very happy with his service and will definitely rebook!

My goodness, Maire is truly exceptional. I have a very energetic Bernedoodle puppy, and she handles her with such patience, and ease. Ru absolutely adores her, and so do I. I recently had an unexpected emergency, and Maire stepped in without hesitation to care for Ru in my absence. That kind of reliability and heart means everything. She has the calmest, sweetest spirit, and you can genuinely feel how much she loves animals. I cannot recommend Maire highly enough. She is a gift. 🐶✨

About: EN I am an animal lover to boot! In 2024, I had the privilege to start volunteering walking dogs for the elderly as a way to help seniors keep their companions. It was wonderful and by 2025, I began working as a dog walker. I am particularly fond of senior dogs. 75% of my experience has been with dogs over the age of ten. I will treat your old man/lady with the love and care I’d want for my own. Message me, let’s chat and see how I can help you! And don’t worry if I seem too far away, I’m happy to travel anywhere within the island Please note that if your pet requires specialized treatment (24/7 company, timed medications, etc), rates will be adjusted accordingly. Thank you! FR Je suis un amoureux des animaux en plus ! En 2024, j’ai eu le privilège de commencer à faire du bénévolat pour promener des chiens pour les personnes âgées afin d’aider les seniors à garder leurs compagnons. C’était merveilleux et en 2025, j’ai commencé à travailler comme promeneur de chiens. J’aime particulièrement les chiens âgés. 75% de mon expérience a été avec des chiens âgés de plus de dix ans. Je traiterai votre vieil homme/dame avec l’amour et le soin que je voudrais pour moi-même. Envoie-moi un message, discutons et voyons comment je peux t’aider ! Et ne t’inquiète pas si je semble trop loin, je suis heureux de voyager n’importe où dans l’île. Veuillez noter que si votre animal nécessite un traitement spécialisé (entreprise 24/7, médicaments programmés, etc.), les tarifs seront ajustés en conséquence. Merci ! EN I offer house sitting, so I am fully available during the week and weekends. My schedule is very flexible. Let’s chat! I can also offer sliding scale, so if something is out of your budget, please reach out, I’d love to help :) FR Je propose le gardiennage de maison, donc je suis entièrement disponible pendant la semaine et les week-ends. Mon emploi du temps est très flexible. Discutons ! Je peux aussi proposer une échelle mobile, donc si quelque chose dépasse votre budget, veuillez me contacter, j’aimerais vous aider :) EN I don’t offer boarding as unfortunately my space doesn’t allow pets, but I am happy to house sit for you or just drop in whenever necessary. I offer basic care such as home cleaning, feeding, litter cleaning, walks, brushing, and companionship, but I am happy to administer medication as well. FR Je n’offre pas de pension car malheureusement mon espace ne permet pas les animaux de compagnie, mais je suis heureux de garder la maison pour vous ou simplement de passer quand c’est nécessaire. Je propose des soins de base tels que le nettoyage de la maison, l’alimentation, le nettoyage de la litière, les promenades, le brossage et la compagnie, mais je suis également heureux d’administrer des médicaments.

About: I have one super cute bunny and I have been taking loving care of her for about three years now. I have taken care of my neighbours’ and my friends’ cats and dogs over the past few years as well. Currently I am not taking any summer courses at McGill University, and therefore, I am free everyday. :) I can work anytime from Monday to Sunday. I am a very careful person and I will watch your pets with full attention. I am patient and I know some strategies to calm pets down.

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: 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 send regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and cared for. 📸 Thoughtful Pet Photos Included I love capturing natural little moments during walks, playtime, or cozy rest breaks — simple memories you can look back on while you’re away. ✅ Reliable & Detail-Oriented With my background in business analysis, I’m organized, dependable, and attentive to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and small details that matter to your pet’s comfort. 🏡 My Care Style I work from home most of the week, allowing me to provide flexible and consistent companionship throughout the day. 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. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so your pet will have a quiet and dedicated space. I always make sure dogs are safely leashed and walked in familiar, pet-friendly areas. I’m attentive to their behavior and comfort, and I treat each dog like my own.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 10 years, working with all kinds of dogs. This has included energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I also have experience administering medications and caring for dogs with behavioral or medical needs, including leash reactivity. Over time, I’ve built strong relationships with a few families who continue to trust me with their pups. I love staying active with dogs who enjoy long walks and playtime, but I’m just as happy spending time with dogs who need a calmer, more comforting presence. My goal is always to make pets feel safe and loved, even if it is scary having their person away. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. Whether that means keeping them company while I study or taking them out for fun, active time, I’m happy to do both. At this time, I don’t plan to take pets into my own home, but I take safety very seriously when caring for pets in their own environment. I make sure that anything potentially harmful is kept out of reach and that pets are always in a safe, secure space. I’m also attentive to their behavior, especially when they may be bored or curious, to ensure they don't get into anything they shouldn’t. My goal is to keep your pet safe and make sure you return to a happy home and pup.

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 pets at home my entire life, and it’s been a privilege having my best friends grow up with me. I have 14 years of experience in routine dog care (my own and clients’) from puppies to elder dogs weighing 3kg-75kg. I’m comfortable with overnight sitting, drop-in medication administration, walking various sizes, following owner-outlined instructions, and managing multi-dog/pet households. My cat care experience of 2 years includes drop-in feeding, play, and checking water levels for 3 cats. — I speak English/Je parle Français/Hablo Español I’m a newer Montréal resident and currently working part-time, so I have a flexible weekday/weekend schedule to make your pet(s) my priority for both shorter visits and longer stays! At a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so that pets feel safe and comfortable while their owner’s away. I follow instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific medications or dietary needs, if required. While making sure your fur family gets plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment, I’ll also be keeping your home safe during sittings.

Heather was wonderful with our two dogs. She is kind, patient, and her genuine love for animals put us at ease from the very beginning. Her communication was excellent throughout our time away, and our whole family looked forward to receiving the daily photos. I would highly recommend Heather to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy person to take care of the pets.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Montréal

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Montréal on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

There are 1,947 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Montréal. About 82% 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.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Montréal. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Montréal.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find walkers in Montréal with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Every walker 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 walker.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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!

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers 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.
