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! :)

Annie was a great housesitter for our cats and was quick to respond to our messages while we were away. We received photos and videos of our furbabies throughout the week and knew that they were in good hands. She had to deal with a difficult situation with one of our cats and handled it with utmost care and sensitivity. We were greatly appreciative of her being there for our kitties.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for longer than I can remember! Working at the Canine Club brought me great experience with caring for over 30 dogs at once, which included feed time, play time, and care. I worked overnights to insure the safety for each and every dog. Caring for animals brings me a new perspective on life, it feels me with so much joy and love! At the moment I work nights on the weekends and I’m not in school currently so I’m free for any of your pet friendly needs! I insure your animals get the loving and care they need while you’re away. I make sure they get to the walks they deserve and every ounce of my attention.

About: I have looked after dogs and cats of all sizes and ages since I was a teen, with house-sitting experiences ranging from a few days to over a month. I am an active homebody who love dogs and am used to having labs around. I match the vibe of the pup, from high energy to quiet calm vibes. EN/FR I’m currently a graduate student, spending all of my days writing, which can be done from anywhere, allowing me loads of flexibility to be home with your pup! I typically go into the office (downtown) 3-4 days a week, though with an at home work setup that could be reduced. I have experience with higher-needs dogs needing medication, walks at quieter times of day, emotional support, are reactive towards men, etc. My flexible lifestyle allows me to adapt to your pets needs and schedule.

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.

I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including administering medications when needed, and I’m Red Cross Certified in Cats & Dogs First Aid.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, hamsters, and birds since I was very young. Growing up with pets taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have regularly looked after dogs and cats for family members and family friends. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands. As a student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, regular check-ins while you’re away, or overnight companionship, I strive to provide reliable and consistent care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I make every effort to maintain their normal routine and keep their environment calm and familiar. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household rules. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I treat both your pets and your home with the utmost respect while providing attentive, loving care.

Heather stayed with my dog, Little Koopa, and my 15 year old cat, Pesto, for 4 days while we were on vacations. Little Koopa is a rescue dog from Beyrouth with the intelligence of the Belgian Malinois and all the anxieties and fears that comes with being abandonned and living in the streets. This was the first time in 5 years that I had left her with someone she didn’t know. During the Meet and Greet, Heather took a lot of notes and asked very pertinent questions about the routines and the particularities of my two animals. She is very observant, very knowlegeable and respectful of animals. During our vacations she sent a lot of pictures and reports on how they were doing and the evolution of their behaviors as time was passing. I was worried about how Little K would react because she is so extremely attached to me (and vice-versa). The first night Heather woke up because Little K was crying…she got up, sat and comforted her with pets and gentle music for an hour!! She also noticed how Little K would feel much better after a walk so she took her out for walks more frequently. Heather gave me peace of mind to enjoy my 4 day vacation without feeling guilty knowing that my pets were in safe, caring and loving hands. She is also a gem personnality wise with a very happy and positive demeanor as well as an inquiring, intelligent mind. Her face is litteraly a smile and you can tell it is born from the inside of her being. I could not have hoped to have a better person to pet-sit. She is truly a gem! She also left my place cleaner than it was when I left. Thank you so much Heather for taking such good care of my precious buddies and for allowing us to take advantage of our vacations with no worries.❤️

Pendant tout mon séjour à l'extérieur, elle m'a envoyé des photos chaque jour où l'on voyait Socks bien installé sur ses genoux, tout blotti contre elle. C'était évident qu'il était heureux, en confiance et entouré d'affection. Lara est restée chez moi pendant trois semaines, et à mon retour, la maison était impeccable. Elle avait même changé les draps et pris grand soin de tout. C'est une personne douce, attentionnée et qui aime sincèrement les animaux. Je la recommande sans la moindre hésitation !

FAQs for House Sitting - Montréal

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Montréal on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of August 2026, there are 1,113 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Montréal. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Tip: 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, identity 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 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.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
