“Lynne was amazing with Bailey, and she provided multiple updates every day, which I appreciated. I could tell by the photos and videos that Bailey was going on adventures, meeting people, and being well loved and well taken care of. Lynne was very communicative and flexible, and I would absolutely recommend her and will happily leave Bailey in her care in the future!!”

“Anna was kind, communicative and thorough while looking after our cat. She took lots of pictures, sent detailed updates, and followed instructions perfectly. She even went above and beyond changing the bedding in the guest room after she left, even though that was not requested. Would gladly book her again!”

“Steph is a responsible, fun and engaged sitter that I highly recommend. She knows what she is doing and asks the right questions for your peace of mind and the wellbeing and the safety of your furry baby. She has housesat for our energetic cat for four days. She kept us posted with a lot of photos that we really appreciated. Our apartment was clean and well-kept.”

“This was my first booking with Rover and I couldn't be more pleased. Matan was wonderful. I could see from photos that he immediately bonded with my cat. He stayed at my home for the 11 days that I was away. I felt very confident that my cat was in good hands. Matan is solid, responsible, dependable and an excellent communicator. Highly recommended!”

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.

“Madeleine and Fred took to each other immediately, making me feel incredibly at ease with leaving them together for a couple of hours! Madeleine's bubbly, animated, and friendly personality is particularly endearing, and her can-do attitude makes me confident in knowing that Fred is being left in good/capable hands! Would 10/10 rebook!”

“I am so grateful I have found Natasha to take care of my baby. All I can say is wow, she is the best. Very communicative, sending photos and I can tell my dog was so happy with her. Thank you Nati 🙏🏻🫶🏻”

“Jess took care of my dog Cedar for two weeks in my home and provided exceptional care for my dog. She followed detailed instructions and kept my dog on the schedule that she is accustomed to! My dog is a bit of a princess - lol. She sent photos and updates to keep in touch. She even tidied up the house before I came home! I whole heartedly recommend Jess for any of your pet care needs! I feel so lucky to have found someone that I trusted enough to come into my home to care for my princess-dog! Yiu can't go wrong with this pet care provider! 10/10 ??❤”

“Yiran was super reliable and kept us apprised everyday with updates and pics over a two-week trip. She left our home cleaner than when she arrived. And my dog was so sad to not have her around anymore. If you want someone responsible who will look after your fur baby as your own, look no further!”


“Annie was good enough to come by beforehand to meet my kitties and then to pick up the keys. I got daily updates and photos and the house was as I left it. Thanks, Annie!”

“Heather is the definition of going above and beyond. She took care of both of our very big dogs (great Dane and Cane Corso) during a house sitting of several days. She walked the dogs, gave them love, shared pictures every day and took care of the house doing things that we didn't expect her to do such as laundry of the bedroom she slept in, cleaning up the house. Heather is super respectful and has great attention to details as she took notes of everything we talked about and followed them to the letter. We will definitely ask for Heather again when we need a house and dog sitter services.”


About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Every summer, I spend four months in the French countryside looking after my aunt's dog, just feeding, walking, and being there for her daily. That kind of regular, hands-on care has taught me to read a dog's needs quickly, whether it's energy to burn, a quiet routine, or simple company. I don't currently have a dog of my own, but I'm an animal lover through and through, and I genuinely love spending time with people and their pets. I'm patient, reliable, and treat every dog like it's family. I work part-time 9-5 at a research lab, but my lunch breaks are long and flexible, so I can easily fit in midday walks or check-ins. Evenings and weekends are completely open, making me reliable for regular care, last-minute visits, or full weekend stays. I don't currently have pets in my apartment, so most of my care happens in the client's home or my family's home in France. I follow their normal routines closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and habits. I always try to keep the space clean and secure, treating it with the same care I'd want for my own home.
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.
“Je recommande les yeux fermés. La communication, le suivi et la gentillesse de Gen ont fait toute la différence. Assurément que je ferai de nouveau appel à Gen pour prendre soin de Thor”

About: About My Experience Caring for pets is more than a service to me; it’s a commitment to their comfort and your peace of mind. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand that pets aren't just animals—they are family members who deserve undivided attention and specialized care. Expertise with Senior & Specialized Care My experience is rooted in the 16-year journey I’ve shared with my cat, Pitchu. Having raised him from a kitten into his senior years, I am highly comfortable with the nuances of senior cat care, including: Administering medication and managing health-related routines. Recognizing subtle changes in behavior or appetite. Providing gentle, low-stress interaction for older or shy pets. Active Engagement & Training I also shared a deep bond with my "soul dog," Daiki. Through our time together attending obedience classes and exploring the outdoors, I developed a strong understanding of canine body language and positive reinforcement. Whether your dog needs a high-energy hike or a patient companion for a calm neighborhood stroll, I adapt my energy to meet their specific needs. Home Management & Reliability I treat your home with the same respect I treat your pets. I am happy to provide additional services while you are away, including: Plant Care: Ensuring your indoor and outdoor plants stay hydrated and healthy. Security: Maintaining a lived-in look for your home (bringing in mail, rotating lights). Communication: Providing frequent photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and providing them with a safe, nurturing, and "massage-filled" stay! How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine As a remote life coach, I work from my laptop, which gives me the unique ability to be a full-time companion for your pet. Constant Supervision: I provide a consistent presence in your home throughout the day. Your pet won't have to wait for 'after-work' hours for attention, potty breaks, or fresh water. A Calm Environment: My work requires a quiet, peaceful atmosphere, which is perfect for pets who thrive on stability or those who might be anxious when left alone. Flexible Active Time: Because I manage my own sessions, I can easily step away to stick to your pet’s specific walking or feeding schedule. Your pet becomes my 'co-worker' for the day—receiving plenty of head scratches and companionship while I work, and my full attention during our outdoor adventures. In Your Home Secure Environment: My first priority is a "safety sweep." I ensure all gates, doors, and windows are secure and that any potential hazards (like toxic plants or loose items) are tucked away. Respectful Presence: As a remote professional, I maintain a quiet, clean, and organized space. I treat your home with the utmost respect, ensuring it stays exactly as you left it. Routine Adherence: I follow your specific house rules—whether that’s "no paws on the couch" or specific crating instructions—to ensure your pet feels the security of their normal routine. On Walks & Outings Leash Safety: I use a "safety-first" approach, staying alert to the environment and other dogs. I never allow off-leash play unless we are in a high-fenced, designated area that you have approved. Health Monitoring: I keep a close eye on paw health (hot pavement or ice) and hydration levels, especially during our outdoor adventures. Communication & Trust Transparent Updates: You will receive regular photo and text updates. Whether it’s a shot of them napping by my desk or a video of our walk, you’ll never have to wonder how they are doing. Emergency Readiness: I always confirm the contact info for your preferred vet and the nearest 24-hour emergency clinic before you leave.
“Irmak was amazing! Very professional, reliable, respectful and great communication. My babies LOVED her - she took great care of them, played a lot, cuddled and even brushed them. She went the extra mile, with little things, without me asking. It was very easy to trust her and she did not disappoint. 10/10 would recommend and will rebook in the future!”

Lynne was great with Bailey again! She continues to be great with communication, both regarding the booking as well as with what happened while she was pet sitting. It's obvious how much she cares about dogs, and I'm happy to leave Bailey with Lynne any time I am out of town!

A perfect experience from start to finish! Nicole took care of our two dogs like they were her own. We got regular updates with photos, which put our minds at ease the whole time. Our two furballs clearly adopted her too. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely be calling Nicole again!

Heather was incredibly accommodating and took wonderful care of Paddington. She was so gentle, kind, and caring with him.She sent me photos of Paddington during his stay, which I really appreciated because it allowed me to see how he was doing and gave me great peace of mind. Heather is truly professional when it comes to pet care. She pays close attention to important details and remembers all the little things that matter. I highly recommend her, and I will definitely book her again to look after my Corgi in the future!

Adèle est tout simplement exceptionnelle! Attentionnée, bienveillante et passionnée par les animaux, elle a su créer un lien avec Cassie dès leur première rencontre. Je la recommande sans la moindre hésitation et je n'hésiterai pas à faire appel à ses services de nouveau.

I couldn't be happier with Sara's service. She was incredibly sweet and attentive to our furry babies, taking perfect care of my sick ferret and his cat sister and sending daily updates. She made me feel calm being away from my sick baby. I definitely recommend her and will book with her again if she's available 😊

Angela looked after Cosmo and Neumos for the first part of our vacation. Despite her young age, she showed incredible maturity—she was polite, proactive, and always kept us in the loop with regular updates. She had no prior experience with a megaesophagus condition, but she stepped up to the challenge and managed his routine flawlessly. We highly recommend her!

We are so happy to have come across Madeleine’s profile. She took such good care of our dog Toby while we were away, allowing us to feel reassured and truly enjoy our vacation. We came back to a calm, happy dog and a clean home 😊 would highly recommend Maddie to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Montréal
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Montréal on Rover is $47.73 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,141 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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
