“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!!”
“Naomi is fantastic! She watched Cosmo and Neumos back-to-back while we were on vacation in Montreal. Cosmo has megaesophagus and requires controlled play and feeding in a Bailey chair, and Naomi handled it flawlessly. If you need a caring, responsible, and experienced pet sitter, look no further than Naomi. Highly recommended!”
“This is the second time that Stephanie has watched my cats. She is attentive, reliable, and professional. It’s nice to know that my little guys are in good hands while I’m away!”
“Gray is an extraordinary young man with a great sense of responsibility and a deep love for animals. He cared for my three cats and two dogs, and they adored him. He always kept me updated on what was happening at home and sent photos and videos. He understood exactly what my elderly dog needed, such as calm walks and medication. It gives me great peace of mind knowing that Gray cares for them as if they were his own. Thank you so much! This won't be the only time we see each other; now you're officially the one taking care of my family. REALLY THANK YOU!”
“Annie was absolutely fantastic!! She took great care of our dog and followed all of our instructions for his care. He has a great deal of separation anxiety and usually when we come home he is stressed, but he was perfectly fine after his stay with Annie. Also, Our house was sparkling when we came home. I highly recommend her!!!”
“Our cat loves Adeline & we're repeat clients, we just got home from our trip and were saying we don't know what we'll do if Adeline is ever not free to sit for us :) the best!!”
“Morgan was a really great dogsitting companion for Sandune (big dog!). She reliably followed the plan, sent regular updates with photos and videos and was very communicative and agreeable. I felt totally reassured and happy.”
“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”
“We had Léa stay with our dog for a second time and we are SO happy to have her as a go-to sitter. Our dog had an upset stomach 😬 and Léa was wonderful about updating us, taking her out more often including in the night, and cooked some white rice for her to eat. Léa is responsible and kind - so happy to have her in my home and caring for my dog!”
About: Over the past 7 months, I got the opportunity to do +14 housesits all over the beautiful city of Montreal, taking care of cats and dogs (and a lizzard and a rat). I truly enjoy getting to know all the different and unique characters. 🐾 Some couldn't wait to go for walks - others loved a little encouragement to keep going. From tiny dogs to a 55kg/120lb good boy. The youngest dog just turned 1 year, the oldest 15, the oldest cat 21 years old. 🥹 I am also amazed by the variety of beauty of all the different cats I got to know. Through this variety of pets, I also gained experience in giving cats and dogs supplements and medication (oral and in-ear). On my past travels I also helped a family in Pakistan with their cows and goats, and a family in Wadi Rum, Jordan, to feed their camels. It was such a beautiful experience - though I wouldn't say I am ready to care of them all by myself. 😄🐐🐪 I also took care of some puppies and kittens in the past. I am aware that this is a (rewarding) full time job. So I could only agree on that after having talked about the situation in detail. I am currently attending Language School, the classes are 1-4pm in downtown. Apart from that I work only, which gives me a lot of freedom in regards to time. I love to take longer walks, and it's even more fun with some furry companion. I also enjoy playing with cats and dogs - it's so much fun to know their unique characters. One thing is for sure: There is no cat or dog like another. I would love to take care of your pet in its known environment, which is why I offer housesits at the owner's place. I also enjoy exploring new neighborhoods. :)
“Maire took great care of Zaza! She played a lot with him and he seemed very satisfied 😁 She also communicated very well with me and sent me a bunch of photos all the time.”
“Junya did an excellent job taking care of my 3 year old border collie, while I was on vacation. She spent 11 days dog and house sitting. I came back home with my dog happy and healthy. As well as with my house being well maintained and respected. Thank you so much!!”
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.
“Yiran took such good care of my very active dog for a week. We were communicated with daily with photos and videos and she was very responsive. She also treated our home very respectfully and it was so clean when we returned. We would definitely recommend her to anyone that is looking for a dog walker or pet/house sitter.”
“Sarah was great! I would highly recommend her. We have a new puppy and Sarah did a fabulous job looking after her. I know it’s harder to watch a puppy and she did it happily! We are going to have Sarah stay with our dogs again!”
“Lara was an exceptional sitter! While I was away, she sent me photos every day of Socks happily curled up on her lap, and it was clear he felt safe, loved, and completely at ease with her. Lara stayed at my home for three weeks, and when I returned, everything was spotless. She had even changed the bed sheets and taken wonderful care of both my home and my cat. She is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I recommend her without hesitation! Lara a été une gardienne exceptionnelle ! 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 !”
About: I’ve lived with, and enjoyed the companion of dogs and cats my entire life. My very first job was dog walking where I became acquainted with all different breeds. Since then, I’ve gained further experience with training and have pet-sat many a four legged friend. I have experience administrating medication, and am happy to accommodate your pup’s specific needs. In addition, I also welcome any four-legged clients who struggle with reactivity on walks. I work remotely, and am thus able to accommodate most needs and schedules. This includes (but is not limited) to those midday potty breaks, or extra snuggles. Contact me any time of the week for pet care. I am available to pet-sit in your home or mine. I live in close proximity to Mont-Royal where I will walk your pup. No other pets reside in my home, so your fur-baby will be my only priority.
“Karen was so sweet! Took great care of my dog, constantly sent pics and updates, and when we returned from our vacation, our home was spotless! Will definitely book her again. Thanks Karen!”
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! I nanny during the day for two hours 2-3 times a week so besides that I am completely 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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Montréal is $50

Sarah was a godsend for me and my cat. She's well versed in cat behavior, and my shy cat came out of her shell and relaxed in Sarah's company. I was able to relax on my holiday knowing my cat is in good company. Sarah sent regular updates, took care of all of my cats needs and also went the extra mile to take care of my home in my absence. I would highly recommend Sarah, her energy is complimentary to cats' energies and she's a gentle and loving caregiver to cats. Would definitely rebook.
Gray est vraiment la personne qu'on cherchait depuis longtemps avec un sens de l'attention et une délicatesse envers les besoins de Pixel et par le fait même, de toute la famille! Pixel est un vieux chien, avec une belle énergie mais des restrictions tant sur la nourriture que dans son quotidien avec de la médication : ce n'est donc pas le chien le plus facile à garder. Pixel a vécu sa vie comme si nous étions là et les photos envoyées matin et soir pendant notre absence nous ont apporté beaucoup de bonheur et de paix: Pixel était entre bonnes mains! De plus, la maison était exactement dans le même état que lors de notre départ et Gray a même pris soin de laver les draps pour que nous ayons un lit tout frais à notre arrivée! WOW... MERCI Gray pour ton travail exceptionnel et au plaisir!
Jingy was absolutely wonderful! This was my second time having her stay, and it definitely won’t be the last. She has become my new go-to sitter! She left my place incredibly clean — honestly, I think it was even cleaner than when I left it! 😂 Her communication is excellent, and I always felt confident knowing everything was being taken care of. Most importantly, she treats Miss Arwen wonderfully. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about her and makes sure she’s happy and comfortable. I highly recommend Jingy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, respectful, communicative sitter who is wonderful with pets. I’m so happy to have found her!
Morgan was great! She was quick to respond whenever we messaged her and she provided detailed reports of how our dog was doing at the end of everyday, complete with videos and pictures. Our dog liked her right away (and he doesn’t like everyone). I would highly recommend Morgan. Thanks to her we had peace of mind while we were away!
Miao was absolutely amazing with Oreo, Moka and Jordan! She was incredibly accommodating, kept us updated with lots of pictures, took great care of all three pets, and left our home spotless. Oreo did great on his walks with her and all three of them looked happy and comfortable throughout the stay. She even stayed later when our return was delayed and was so kind about it. We would absolutely trust Miao with them again and are so happy to have found her! ❤️
Couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. Understanding, accommodating and helpful and always kept me updated on how my babies were doing! Very easy to work with and very responsive. My shy cat Muffin loved her — that should tell you enough! Very grateful 🩵
Absolutely amazing. She was so amazing with my puppy and super communicative! Received updates every morning afternoon and night along with images and videos. I felt so reassured and calm leaving my puppy with her after seeing how amazing she was with him and with all the updates I received. STRONGLY recommend! I will be using her again!
I truly can’t recommend her enough! She took care of our miniature schnauzer Rita for two weeks in our home, and she was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. She sent us daily updates, photos, and little details about Rita’s day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can genuinely tell how much she loves and cares about dogs. She treated Rita with so much love and attention, and I always felt like she was in the best hands possible. She also took wonderful care of our home, and we came back to a very happy and very loved little dog. 🐶💕 She was truly an angel, and I honestly think Rita might like her more than us now 😂❤️ We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would trust her with Rita again without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog as if they were her own, she is absolutely the person. 1000% recommend! 💗
This was my second time booking with Heather, and once again she went above and beyond to take such wonderful care of my cat, Ivy. She’s incredibly reliable, attentive, and thoughtful. I couldn’t recommend Heather enough and will absolutely continue booking with her in the future.
Once again, absolutely perfect service from Rebecca!! I have complete faith in her ability to take care of my cat and bird while I'm away, she gives me peace of mind that not even one of my family members could give!! Would give 10 stars if I could. She is very kind with my pets and they love her too, and she sends lots of photo and video updates, which is so comforting. Will definitely like to book with her again 🥰
Remy was extremely professional, arrived on time and clearly respected our home and pets. Our pets looked so happy and were very sad to see Remy leave. Our home looked identical to when we left, you would never have guessed someone had been there. Remy also sent photos of our dogs on walks and just enjoying their time with him. Will certainly be re-booking Remy in the future.
We had Heather look after our dog for three days while we were away, and we couldn’t have been happier with her! She was extremely responsive, caring, reliable, and attentive throughout our stay. She took wonderful care of our dog and sent us detailed daily updates about his walks, meals, and how he was doing. As it was our first time leaving him for several days, this was incredibly reassuring and allowed us to enjoy our trip with complete peace of mind. She also took great care of our apartment and left everything very clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Heather and would absolutely trust her with our dog again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of hi
Mochi a develope un ulcer sur son oeil juste trois jours avant qu'Annie arrive, et elle a pris soins d'elle et donner beaucoup de médicaments et d'attention. On est vraiment content avec elle et recommender elle a tout le monde! Mochi developed an ulcer on her eye just three days before Annie arrived, and she kept Mochi happy and healthy and gave her lots of medication (eye drops + pills) and attention. We are truly happy with Annie and recommend her to everyone!
Chayse was absolutely amazing. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever met someone who connected with our dog so naturally and so quickly. Our dog is usually very shy and cautious around people. She does not approach or trust new people easily at all, so seeing her voluntarily walk up to Chayse really surprised us and meant so much to us. That alone told us how safe and comfortable Chayse made her feel. Chayse was incredibly gentle, patient, and understanding. She respected our dog’s personality and boundaries instead of ever forcing an interaction, and you could really tell that she genuinely cared about making her feel comfortable. She was also very punctual and reliable, and kept us updated throughout the sitting, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Chayse went above and beyond our expectations, and we would absolutely trust her with our dog again. We highly recommend her, especially to anyone with a shy or cautious dog who needs someone patient, gentle, and understanding.

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
- 88% 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.
