“Lynne was absolutely wonderful with Molly! From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and proactive, reaching out in advance to ensure everything was set up for a successful visit. Throughout the day, she took exceptional care of Molly and kept me updated, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. It was clear that Molly was happy, comfortable, and in great hands! Lynne has a natural gift with dogs and a calm, caring presence that animals seem to trust immediately. I am so grateful for the excellent care she provided and would not hesitate to book with her again. I look forward to working with Lynne in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and truly outstanding pet sitter! :)”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, from playful younger dogs who need plenty of activity to seniors who prefer a slower pace. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic care, and giving dogs plenty of attention and company. I take time to learn each dog’s normal routine, personality, and any instructions from their owner so their care feels familiar and comfortable. I’m patient, reliable, and happy to send regular photo updates while you’re away. My schedule is currently very open and flexible, so I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to give your cat attention, company, and care. I’m available throughout the week for boarding and drop-in visits, and I can often accommodate different feeding schedules, longer visits, or last-minute requests. I’m happy to keep your cat’s routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away. I have a spacious, tidy two-bedroom apartment where I can provide a calm and comfortable environment for visiting cats. I keep my home clean and make sure potentially unsafe areas are secure. My balcony stays closed and visiting cats will never have unsupervised balcony access. I also give cats plenty of time and space to settle in and adjust at their own pace rather than forcing interaction.
“Pamela was wonderful with Molly! This was our first time booking with her, and I was very happy with the experience. Molly clearly had a great time and when I came home, she seemed happy and well cared for. Pamela was kind, attentive, and made the whole process easy and comfortable. I would definitely recommend her to other dog parents and would happily book with her again! 🐾❤️”
“Marianne a passé la journée chez nous avec nos animaux!!! Je n’ai que de bons mots pour elle. Elle nous a rapidement mit en confiance. Elle est arrivée à l’heure! Elle s’est occupé un peu plus de notre chien qui avait eu une opération quelques jours plus tôt! Je recommande Marianne et je n’hésiterai pas à utiliser ses services à nouveaux!”
“Tobias did a wonderful job of taking care of our Frenchie, Welly! They were very attentive; Welly required constant supervision as he's having a back issue. Tobias was available on short notice, which was very appreciated. They continued to send sweet photo updates of how Welly was doing. I would highly recommend.”
“Isabela was a wonderful sitter! She was easy to communicate with, punctual, and incredibly flexible, especially as I had to change the timing a few times. It was clear from the moment she met my elderly cat that she would be caring and affectionate with him—she was immediately so sweet with him. She left my home tidy and also provided a detailed update on how my cat was doing throughout the week I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. I would recommend Isabela without hesitation and would happily have her sit for my cat again! Isabela a été une merveilleuse gardienne ! La communication avec elle était très facile, elle était ponctuelle et très flexible, notamment parce que j’ai dû modifier les horaires à quelques reprises. Dès qu’elle a rencontré mon chat âgé, il était évident qu’elle serait douce et affectueuse avec lui — elle a tout de suite été adorable avec lui. Elle a laissé ma maison bien rangée et m’a également donné des nouvelles détaillées de l’état de mon chat pendant toute la semaine où j’étais absente, ce qui m’a beaucoup rassurée. Je recommande Isabela sans aucune hésitation et je serais ravie de lui confier à nouveau la garde de mon chat !”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Montréal
Izzy was great! She was very attentive, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay. She kept me updated with pictures, made sure Oreo got his walks, and even managed to get him to eat, which isn’t always easy. It was clear she genuinely cared for all the animals, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. I really appreciated her help and would definitely recommend her!
Janice was amazing! She sent lots of photos throughout the stay, so I always knew how my pets were doing. My dog has pretty bad separation anxiety and got into a bunch of the cupboards and made a mess, but Janice handled it calmly and let me know right away. She was super accommodating. I felt at ease leaving my pets with her and highly recommend!!
Lynne was tasked with us coming from the U.S. to Montreal, with our four legged, and needing extended day/night coverage for our attendance at a wedding and reception. Her advanced communications put us at ease right away, and her wonderful attention to Ezra from when she first arrived was reassuring. We felt very fortunate to have found Lynne and to have her caring for Ezra while we were at the wedding. She's great.
Chrissy was great! She came over to my house to take care of my 5 month old puppy, she was super caring and followed all my instructions carefully. She sent me updates, pictures and all. Amazing vibes, would definitely recommend Chrissy to take care of your pets!
Adeline is absolutely amazing and was wonderful with Maple. She came over a couple of days before we had our event to introduce herself and meet Maple and all went very well! Thank you so much again and we are so thankful to have found someone we can trust whenever we have family events or trips we cannot bring Maple along to.
Emilio immediately got along with our pups and was keen to learn their routines and meal plans! He kept my husband and I updated daily with pictures of the little ones and kept an open communication line for any questions whilst we were away. I came home feeling secure knowing their needs were met!
Paulina is incredibly kind, thoughtful and reliable. While I was away, she sent me detailed updates with cute photos and videos. My shy cat Mango felt at ease around her right away and clearly enjoyed her company. I felt great peace of mind knowing he was in safe hands :) highly recommend!
Honnêtement, la meilleure expérience qu’on ait jamais eue ! ❤️ Sidonie a été absolument extraordinaire avec nos trois chats ! Elle nous envoyait spontanément des nouvelles et plein de photos, sans même qu’on ait à demander. Pour la première fois depuis des années, nous avons pu voyager l’esprit complètement tranquille, même en pleine compétition de danse ! Nos chats l’ont adorée immédiatement, même notre Minou, qui est pourtant très difficile à amadouer ! 😂❤️ On sent qu’elle aime sincèrement les animaux et qu’elle en prend soin comme si c’étaient les siens. Je la recommande les yeux fermés ! Nous referons appel à elle sans hésiter ! 🐾❤️
Eli was so wonderful! I cannot thank her enough for looking after our girls, Tally and Ahmita. They adored her! We were so relieved to see how at ease they felt and how much love they were receiving ! Eli was very kind and sent us pictures and updates every other day , which really put our minds at ease. I am certain our cats miss her !!! She stayed in our home for 3 weeks, and cared not only for our cats but also our plants and left our home spotless. She is also genuinely a really kind and down to earth person, and we connected well from the very beginning! We travel frequently and I will definitely book pet sitting with Eli again whenever we are away !!!
Benito et Belinda 🐱🐱 ont eu le plaisir de se faire garder par Audrey. Elle est incroyable avec les chats, patiente et à l'écoute de leur besoin. À notre retour, notre appartement était impeccable. Je recommende ses services à 100%. On a passé de belles vacances avec une tranquilité d'esprit.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Montréal is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $67 per night. 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.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Montréal maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Montréal walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
