About: I am responsible, detail-oriented, and patient. I work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I mainly work from home as a senior PhD student at McGill University, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I can easily adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs and ensure they receive plenty of care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I provide a safe, clean, and quiet environment for pets. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, playtime, and daily routines. As I work from home, I can give pets plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I will also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while away.
“I’m so glad I chose Anca to visit my cat, she did a fantastic job caring for her. She went above and beyond and provided detailed updates and even brought my cat treats. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Anna on Rover! She’s an absolute joy to work with, and we trust her completely with our two tabby boys. Whenever we travel, she housesits for us, so we can relax knowing our kitties are in the best hands.”
“Having Ilya take care of our cat Chickpea for a few days was absolutely worth it. The experience from start to finish was top notch - Ilya is very responsive, accommodating, and clearly attuned to your pet’s care needs. Booking and reviewing Chickpea’s routine was super smooth, we received updates and pictures while we were gone, and we came back to a very happy little garbanzo bean. What more can you ask for? We would definitely trust Ilya with Chickpea’s care again in the future.”

About: I grew up with pets, dogs cats turtles chicks rabbit Guinée pigs ect….i Raised a few puppies and i don’t beleive they should be caged so it’s a condition for me they need to learn to behave like a child No cages. I’m newly retired and I have a Little Dashun 4 years old who follows me everywhere I go. We are very socialised and love to play. I’m very projective of my animal compagnon I care for their safety and well being . Alimentation is the key and excercise off course is so important
“Eve is so amazing and caring, she managed to make our super anxious cats come out of their hiding within a few days. I felt so much better knowing she’s taking care of them, I will definitely rebook soon!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 10 years, working with all kinds of dogs. This has included energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I also have experience administering medications and caring for dogs with behavioral or medical needs, including leash reactivity. Over time, I’ve built strong relationships with a few families who continue to trust me with their pups. I love staying active with dogs who enjoy long walks and playtime, but I’m just as happy spending time with dogs who need a calmer, more comforting presence. My goal is always to make pets feel safe and loved, even if it is scary having their person away. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. Whether that means keeping them company while I study or taking them out for fun, active time, I’m happy to do both. At this time, I don’t plan to take pets into my own home, but I take safety very seriously when caring for pets in their own environment. I make sure that anything potentially harmful is kept out of reach and that pets are always in a safe, secure space. I’m also attentive to their behavior, especially when they may be bored or curious, to ensure they don't get into anything they shouldn’t. My goal is to keep your pet safe and make sure you return to a happy home and pup.
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.
“Lina was the best cat sitter I could have asked for! From our initial meet-and-greet to her last visit with Moo Moo, the entire experience was seamless and stress-free. Lina was incredibly professional, communicative, and reliable throughout. She visited twice a day while I was away, and each time she left the cutest, most detailed visit cards that made me feel completely at ease. It was so comforting to know my fur baby was in such caring hands. Lina is not only trustworthy, but she truly goes above and beyond. You can tell she pours so much love and attention into what she does. I’m so grateful to have found her, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a responsible, thoughtful, and compassionate pet sitter!”
About: I have always loved animals and grew up caring for pets, including my own Maltese, which has given me strong hands-on experience with daily care, grooming needs, and understanding a dog’s behavior and emotions. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have also looked after other pets for family and friends, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable in their environment. I am attentive to each pet’s personality and routine, and I always aim to provide a calm, safe, and affectionate atmosphere. I treat every animal as if it were my own, ensuring they receive both reliable care and plenty of attention while their owners are away. I am a McGill student with a flexible schedule and generally finish school early, around 2:30 PM, which allows me to be available for afternoon and evening visits or walks on weekdays. I am fully available on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and I am happy to accommodate early morning or later evening requests when needed. I am reliable, punctual, and willing to adapt to your pet’s routine to ensure they receive consistent care and attention. For drop-in visits, I focus on making sure your pet is fed on time, has fresh water, and feels reassured while you are away. I follow your instructions carefully so their routine stays consistent and stress-free. For walks, I ensure pets get safe and appropriate exercise based on their energy level, while always prioritizing their comfort and security. I am attentive, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you know your pet is well cared for.
About: *This profile is for both Marilyn & her partner Anthony* ***We are bilingual French/English. Vous pouvez aussi nous écrire en français!*** Mari has adopted 2 kittens in her adult life, and her oldest recently passed away at almost 18 years young, which Anthony had the chance to also take care of for several years. Mari was blessed with also being able to share the life of a sweet elderly French bulldog for several years, Anthony’s beloved companion for 12 years. Anthony has experience fostering 3 dogs (large mixed breeds). Over the years, we have also taken care of our friends/neighbours' cats and dogs when they were away for a few days. It would be our honour to be involved in taking care and loving your small pets while you are away for work/vacation, and make sure that it is a stress free time for all, as we know from having had several petsitters over the years the importance of finding one that is trustworthy to be in your home and to attend to the needs of your furry kids. We come with some "special" expertise (thanks to our previous lovely companions giving us lived experience, and the extensive readings we have done on those topics) regarding dog training, behavior management, CDK, cardiac disease, IBD, picky eating, post-surgery care, UTIs, pancreatitis, food allergies, arthritis, senior care. We can administer oral medications, including piling or syringing, subcutaneous fluids, transdermal (ear) medications, eye drops, nose sprays, and prepare meals according to your specific instructions, as we know that you know your pet best. We love cuddling with lap cats and dogs, going on walks in the neighborhood, and playing with pets. Looking forward to getting to know you and your little(s) one(s)! Mari works from home, so she can come and visit your pets up to 3 times per day. She has limited availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but might still be able to do 1-2 visits on those days. Anthony has classes in the morning Monday-Friday. We do not offer care in our home due to our building policies. However, we are happy to come to your home to look after your pets, in the environment they are the most comfortable in.
About: I've sat for dogs, cats, fish, and rabbits throughout my life. I am particularly used to caring for dogs, having raised two family dogs. Experienced with hard leash tuggers, puppies, senior dogs, training, playtime, and of course petting. My top priority is keeping your dog happy and safe. I'm currently available full time this summer. I'm flexible for any time or duration, weekdays or weekends. Let me know your needs and we can make it work. I'm careful to keep an eye on your pet even when they're resting. I am always respectful of my surroundings and try to leave things looking the same when I leave. I hope to build a great rapport with your dog and keep it fun for them.
“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.”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover, and whilst I have more experience with cats, I am also the go-to dog-sitter for my brother's two dogs whenever they need care or looking after! I have experience handling everything from feeding and walks to looking after them overnight. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and undivided attention I would give my own pets! I have just moved to Montreal and am currently taking French classes to improve my language skills, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons between 1:30pm - 4:30pm. Otherwise, I have a lot of free time and am willing to be flexible to yours and your pet's schedule! I am currently in a sublet that has two indoor cats, so I wouldn't be able to care for pets in my own home. But I would be very happy to stay with your pet in your home and provide any care as needed! I am trustworthy and reliable, and I am truly doing this for the love of animals!
About: I love dogs! I have been taking care of dogs with Rover for a year and a half so I am familiar with how to respond to different personalities and ensure they're happy and taken care of. I have experience administering oral medication and looking after high-energy puppies. I have also completed canine training with the Toronto Humane Society which covered animal behaviour and positive reinforcement learning. I am currently a Master's student at McGill so I can spend time with a pet for dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits during the week! :) I can offer dog walking services and play sessions in the large outdoor parks in the city. I enjoy long walks so distance is not a problem ☺️
“Natasha is amazing :) she is taking care of my little puppy And they always have a great time and she also send a lot beautiful photos . I totally trust on her :) she has a beautiful vibe”

Jeanne took exceptional care of Citra while we were away for two weeks. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and reliable, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure Citra’s wellbeing and comfort. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Citra was in such capable hands and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Jeanne to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate person.
Brisa did an amazing job with my 2 cats while I was traveling for a month, providing daily check-ins and even going out of her way to buy them treats when they ran out. She took care of them as if they were her own. My cats are usually very nervous around new people, but they warmed up to her very quickly!
Louise a été une gardienne de première classe pour Caramel. Elle lui a administré tous ses médicaments deux fois par jour. Elle nous a tenu au courant plusieurs fois par visite pour donner des nouvelles et elle a pris plein de photos. Je la recommande les yeux fermées. Je compte déjà refaire appel à ses services.
I had a wonderful experience with Heather and would highly recommend her. She took amazing care of my cat Kiki :) I received many updates and pictures while i was away, making the whole experience stress free. Heather was also very accommodating of Kiki’s needs! Best cat sitter!
It was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous but Lara was really lovely. She was very responsive when I had questions or when I wanted to share information. She gave very thorough updates when she visited and always sent a few pictures. Would definitely book her again or recommend her to a friend.
Adèle was lovely with our cat. She is very communicative and kept us updated all the time. We were really glad we chose her and felt sage leaving our cat and house in her hands. Would definitely recommend and look forward to have her sit our cat in the future again.
Madeleine was an incredible petsitter and person to us! Ponctualité, proactive, deeply caring for the well being of my little king. I can only recommend her and most definitely rebook without thinking twice. She's very patient and flexible as well. Fast replies and great communication in general. Thank you for everything!!
Expérience impeccable avec Matan qui est venu s'occuper de notre petite Alice pendant deux semaines. Nous avons eu des nouvelles / photos à tous les jours. Très rassurant, surtout qu'il y a avait des antibiotiques à administrer. Nous recommandons ses services sans aucune hésitation!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Montréal on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,806 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Montréal. About 84% 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 Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Montréal stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
