“Maire was an absolute dream sitter! She stopped in for visits with my anxious 2 year old cat while we were away for 6 days. She was great at communicating and sent lots of photos and updates for each visit. My shy boy instantly loved her and I felt so relieved that he didn't just hide away all week. She had him playing and snuggling. We had an unexpected vet visit just before we left for our trip and she was so great at accommodating the last minute addition to his care. I couldn't recommend her more!! If we need a sitter again I would definitely hope she'd available.”
“Thank you again Kendra! So glad you are back in the city. I so very much appreciated your help with our dog Daisy! You are such a great communicator, have been terrific with our cats previously, and I love the pics!!”
“Jingyi is a gem! Super professional, a great communicator, very good with pets and also friendly and collaborative! Im away for work a lot and she takes good care of my cats, clean the litter and water my plants! She is also an amazing photograph, the pictures she took of my cats are exceptionnal!”
“Alexia was great with communication and kindly followed the instructions we left. It was nice to see pics while we were away to know our babies were safe, and it seems like they liked her! Would definitely recommend :)”
“Angélique est une personne douce et responsable, je me suis sentie immédiatement en confiance avec elle, pareil pour mes chats qui sont d’un tempérament plutôt sauvage avec les nouvelles personnes. Ils sont naturellement venus à sa rencontre dès les premiers jours. Ça a été pour nous une expérience parfaite à tous les points de vue.”
About: I have taken care of my roommates pets since 2022, meaning I have 4 years of petsitting experience with dogs and cats. From potty walks to long playdates to ensuring giving elderly pets medicine on time, I am an organized and responsible animal lover who will ensure your pet's safety while making them feel loved and taken care of! I currently have a flexible schedule so most weekdays and weekends, mornings or evenings work as long as I am given at least 1 day notice! I ensure I know where they are at all times. I check on them intentionally and frequently to confirm there's no symptoms of discomfort or any general problem. I set alarms for their needs such as food, water, walks, medicine, etc. I pet them and play with them as much as they and their owners allow me!
“We were worried about leaving our senior cat alone while we travelled, but Eve took wonderful care of her! Her photos and texts during her visits left me assured that Daisy was being well cared for. Eve quickly learned our cat's personality and responded lovingly with what she needed. Eve left everything tidy. We will book Eve to take care of our cat again!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for a dog and a cat since I was 11 years old! I am very comfortable taking care of your pets at all stages, including puppy training and senior dog care. I'm currently finishing my degree at Concordia University, so I have a very flexible availability that can easily accommodate your daily routine and/or work schedule. I have extensive experience in obedience training, walking, and caring for pets! I'm comfortable with crate and leash training, and I'm happy to accommodate your pets level of behaviour.
“Umut a été fantastique avec Amandine. Il a réussi à la faire sortir de sa cachette sous le divan. En plus de la nourrir, il lui a donné ses gâteries et il a brossé plusieurs fois son pelage. Le fait qu’il m’envoie un rapport et photo de chaque visite m’a beaucoup plue et rassurée. Bref, je le recommande fortement! J’utiliserai ses services la prochaine fois. Un grand Merci!”

About: I grew up around (minimum) 4 dogs my whole life and now would cherish the opportunity to care for your pet! I was heavily involved in the care and training of my pets and have taken various puppy training courses. I have gotten the chance to know lots of different furry friends - big and small- and am confident in my ability to care for all kinds of pets. I am a part-time student at McGill in my last year of study. I am finding myself with lots of free time and would love the opportunity to fill it up pet play time and walks!

I have access to a shared fenced yard outdoor space and I have a spare room that can fit any and all pet supplies. My home space is always tidy and organized as it is a reflection of me. Growing up with animals I understand the importance of clearing a room of potential dangers (left out food, toxic plants, etc).
About: Hello ! Je me présente, Estelle, amoureuse des animaux. Cela fait plusieurs années que je ne vis plus avec des compagnons à poils et leur présence me manque énormément ! C'est la raison pour laquelle je garde des animaux régulièrement depuis 2 ans. J’apprécie garder des animaux chez moi ou à votre domicile, aller faire des promenades avec eux ou tout simplement passer leur donner à manger et les câliner ☺️ J’ai l’habitude de vivre avec des chats et des lapins, et je suis aussi à l’aise avec les chiens (j’en ai déjà gardé plusieurs). Je suis également à l'aise de donner des médicaments si besoin. J'aime créer un vrai lien avec eux, comprendre leurs petites habitudes et leur offrir un environnement calme, rassurant et joyeux. A noter que j'accepte uniquement des chats à mon domicile. Bien évidemment, je serais ravie de garder votre chien à votre domicile ou lui faire des promenades. Si ma description vous parle, n’hésitez pas à me contacter : je prendrai soin de vos animaux comme si c’étaient les miens ☺️💛 Je suis totalement disponible pour m'occuper de vos petites boules de poils. Je travaille 2 jours par semaine à la maison et le reste du temps je suis au bureau pendant 8 heures. Cela me permet de passer beaucoup de temps avec vos animaux. J'ai un balcon clos où votre animal pourra se poser et prendre l'air. J'attache une très grande importance à ce que chaque animal se sente bien chez moi ou à votre domicile. N'hésitez pas à me partager leurs petites habitudes ou autres informations ☺️
About: Les animaux ont toujours occupé une place importante dans ma vie. J'ai grandi aux côtés de deux chats et deux chiens. Cette expérience m'a fait réaliser à quel point les animaux de compagnie sont une source de bonheur. Mon enfance a été imprégnée par la présence d'une variété d'animaux, passant souvent mes étés dans la ferme de ma tante. Aujourd'hui, je m'occupe de mes deux chiens seniors, qui font partie intégrante de ma famille. L'un d'eux, âgé de 16 ans, nécessite une attention particulière et un suivi médical régulier. Je suis donc à l'aise avec les besoins plus spécifiques que peuvent nécessiter certains animaux. J'apprécie particulièrement les moments passés à prendre des marches avec mon autre chienne qui, malgré son âge, demeure toujours active et joyeuse. C'est avec le même enthousiasme que je me réjouis à l'idée de prendre soin de vos précieux compagnons. Je serais ravie de leur offrir toute l'attention et l'affection qu'ils méritent." En tant que designer et gestionnaire de produit travaillant de la maison, j'ai la chance de bénéficier d'une grande flexibilité tant au niveau de mon horaire que de mon emplacement, ce que j'apprécie grandement ! Cela signifie que je suis disponible pour m'occuper d'animaux de compagnie la plupart des jours. De plus, étant donné que mon travail se déroule principalement assis devant un ordinateur, je cherche activement des moyens de bouger et de profiter du plein air. Ainsi, l'idée de promener vos chiens m'enthousiasme énormément !" Je suivrai à la lettre toutes les mesures de sécurité dont vous me fournissez et je ferai place du plus grand jugement pour assurez la sécurité de votre animal.
About: Je suis né entourée d’animaux. J’ai vu mes chiens passer de petits bébés à de grands chiens et mes petits chats grandir. Je me suis occupée d’eux bébé, adultes et parfois plus âgés. Je pense que cela me rends apte à m’occuper de n’importe lequel de vos amis à poil et de m’adapter à leur besoins spécifiques. Je suis actuellement étudiante à l’ÉTS, je suis donc disponible lors des pauses dîners et des demis journées où je n’ai pas cours ainsi que les week end pour m’occuper de vos animaux. Je ne garde que les chats dans mon appartement si ceux là sont habitué à une vie en intérieur. Chez vous je m’adapte à vos règles et aux besoins de vos animaux pour m’assurer que le changement les impactent le moins possible.
“Rania was excellent and took fantastic care of our cat Stella! She was attentive to her needs and sent us many pictures and videos while we were away. We will definitely be booking her again! Thanks again Rania!”
About: Experienced Cat Sitter | Medication & Insulin Care | Downtown Montreal Hi everyone, I’m Gina, an experienced and caring pet sitter based in downtown Montreal. I have been caring for animals for more than 12 years, and pets have always been an important part of my life. I currently have an 11-year-old cat who requires daily insulin injections, so I am comfortable caring for cats with diabetes, administering medication, following feeding schedules, and monitoring changes in behaviour or health. Earlier this year, I said goodbye to my beloved dog and best friend, who meant the world to me. Caring for him throughout his life taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved, especially when their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I will treat your cat with kindness, respect, and attention, while keeping you updated with photos and messages during each visit. I study full time and work part time, and caring for pets is something that brings peace and balance to my daily life. I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals and giving them attentive, loving care. I have a cat who is growing up with dog. I have an apartment and it fits small to medium dog, I’m okay with them on furniture.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Montréal is $23

Heather was fantastic! My cat can be quite picky about who she accepts affection from, but she seemed to take to Heather instantly. I appreciated the clear, consistent communication and could tell from her messages that Heather really cared about taking the time to get to know my little lady.
Alessia a été géniale comme gardienne pour ma chatte Colette pendant mon absence de 10 jours. Par les nombreuses photos et vidéos que j’ai reçues, il était évident qu’elles ont créé un lien, bien que ma chatte est de nature timide. Alessia a contribué à rendre mon absence beaucoup plus agréable car je savais Colette entre excellentes mains.
Louise has looked after our cat Luna three times to date, and she has done a wonderful job each time. We are very thankful for the love and care that she has shown to our little sweet little cat. Louise is thoughtful, dependable, and has shown a great intuition for our cat's needs. Our cat is a little anxious when we travel, but we had complete peace of mind with Louise looking after her. Thank you so much, Louise!
C’était ma première expérience sur Rover et avec Lea, pour du gardiennage une heure par jour durant un long weekend à l’extérieur de la ville. Ma chatte Charlotte est plutôt timide envers les inconnu(e)s. Lea a trouvé le moyen, par son calme et sans aucun doute sa longue expérience, de mettre Charlotte en confiance rapidement et elles ont passé d’excellents moments ensemble. La communication avec Lea a été facile du début à la fin et j’avais des nouvelles tous les jours (photos et vidéos). À notre retour, Charlotte était calme et joyeuse. Je recommande Lea sans hésiter et je me tournerai vers elle lorsque l’occasion se représentera.
Another wonderful service by Rachael, I’ve come back home to happy healthy cats. She was super communicative the whole time, sending great photos and updates. My incredibly timid girl cat has warmed up to her as well, which says a lot as she loves to hide. Thanks again!
Jingyi is a gem! Super professional, a great communicator, very good with pets and also friendly and collaborative! Im away for work a lot and she takes good care of my cats, clean the litter and water my plants! She is also an amazing photograph, the pictures she took of my cats are exceptionnal!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Montréal is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $35 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,811 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Montréal. About 85% 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 to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
