We had a fantastic experience with Valentina! She took such great care of our pets—lots of playtime, attention, and love. It was clear they were comfortable and happy with her. She also went above and beyond around the house, keeping everything tidy and even helping out with our backyard plants. Valentina kept us updated throughout our trip with regular pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind about both the pets and the house. Highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!

Melissa a été très douce et à l'écoute des besoins de mon petit chien particulier! Elle a aussi très bien respecté l'heure de rencontre, même 10 minutes en avance. Elle est prête, habituée et pose de très bonne question pour bien connaître le chien ainsi que ces habitudes. Elle a aussi demandé en cas d'urgence qui contacté et quel vétérinaire/ugrence prioriser. Très sécurisant. Elle coprend bien l'importance de la routine du chien et n'essaie pas de la changer, ce qui est très bien lorsque tu es un maître d'un chien anxieux. Elle s'est bien présentée aussi, ce qui a donné une rencontre douce et calme entre mon chien et elle. Je recommanderai n'important quand! Merciiiii Melissa!!

About: Nous avons toujours été les personnes de notre famille et de notre cercle d’amis qu’on appelle lorsqu’il faut faire garder un animal. Ayant grandi entourés de chiens et de chats, nous avons développé une grande aisance et un réel plaisir à nous en occuper. N’ayant pas d’animaux présentement, nous adorons pouvoir en prendre soin via cette application. Nous sommes un couple d’ingénieurs travaillant tous les deux à temps plein de la maison. Cela nous permet d’être très présents et disponibles pour vos compagnons tout au long de la journée. Nous faisons régulièrement des promenades le matin, le midi et en soirée. Nous aimons tous les animaux — chiens, chats, petits, grands, timides ou enjoués — chacun reçoit toute notre attention et notre affection. Nous avons une grande cour entourée de haies de cèdre, offrant un environnement sécuritaire. Nous sommes également à l’aise d’utiliser des cages au besoin, selon vos habitudes. Comme nous n’avons pas d’animaux à la maison, le vôtre sera au centre de notre attention. We’ve always been the people our family and friends rely on when they need someone to care for their pets. Having both grown up with dogs and cats, we’re very comfortable around animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Since we don’t currently have pets of our own, we love being able to care for them through this app. We are a couple of engineers working full-time from home, which allows us to be very present and attentive throughout the day. We typically go for walks in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening. We truly enjoy the company of all animals — dogs, cats, small, large, shy, or playful — each one gets our full attention and care. We have a large yard surrounded by cedar hedges, providing a safe outdoor space. We’re also comfortable using crates if needed, depending on your pet’s routine. Since we don’t have pets of our own, yours will receive our full focus and attention. Nous travaillons de la maison à temps plein, assurant une présence constante. L’un de nous étant travailleur autonome avec un horaire très flexible, nous pouvons facilement nous adapter aux besoins spécifiques de votre animal tout au long de la journée. We both work from home full-time, ensuring constant presence. One of us is self-employed with a highly flexible schedule, allowing us to easily adapt to your pet’s specific needs throughout the day. Nous envoyons régulièrement des photos et des nouvelles pour vous garder rassuré pendant votre absence. We provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I am a huge animal lover and a Dog Whisperer as some of my friends call me. I have been a dog owner as long as I remember. I already have a furry kid Bella, who is very friendly with other dogs and loves play dates with her friends. I am used to dog walking and pet sitting for my family,friends and neighbors. When we moved from US, we had to face many issues in regards to Bellas transport and stay and I know the feeling when you are unable to give your fur kid the best of best while moving or when you are on a much needed vacation. I will always keep you updated with the photos of your pet having fun. I will be right here when you need someone to take care of your pet just as part of a family! Doggy Day Care - Saturday, Sunday and Holidays Doggy Boarding - Friday Evening after 5.30 to Sunday Night 8.00 Dog Walking - Saturday and Sunday Someone would always be with your pup during his/her stay at our place. Depending on the energy of the pup and weather, we will head out for multiple walks in the park or stay inside playing. We have a fenced backyard which would be accessible for play time. In case its snowing or raining hard, we prefer to stay inside and have fun playing with toys, balls and what not? 😊

About: J'ai des animaux depuis que je suis très jeunes et j'ai toujours participer à en prendre soin. J'ai présentement deux chats de 1 et 15 ans en bonne santé et que j'adore. J'aimerais vraiment avoir un chien et je m'ennuie d'en avoir un dans ma vie, mais je n'ai pas l'espace pour en adopter un en ce moment. J'adore aussi tous les animaux en général et j'aime en rencontrer de nouveaux. Ce sont des raisons qui me pousse à vouloir offrir mes services pour la garde des vôtres. Par le passé, j'ai déjà gardé un chat pendant 2 semaines qui venait d'avoir une énucléation (chirurgie pour enlever son œil) à la suite d'une infection, impliquant de lui donner des médicaments (liquides) 2 fois par jour et des gouttes pour son deuxième œil 5-6 fois par jour. J'ai aussi régulièrement gardé le chien chez ma mère pour des périodes d'environ une semaine, incluant en fin de vie alors qu'il nécessitait des médicaments (pilules) 2 fois par jour. Je suis donc généralement à l'aise de donner la médication selon vos indications. Je travaille à temps plein, mais mon horaire est assez flexible pour m'adapter à vos besoins. Je travaille en mode hybride et je dois me remettre au bureau 2 jours par semaine, mais je suis autrement en télétravail et je peux être présente et m'occuper de vos animaux sans problème pendant ce temps. Sinon je n'ai habituellement pas de restrictions le soir ou la fin de semaine. Pour la garde à domicile, je peux nourrir vos animaux, changer leur eau à tous les jours, donner la médication au besoin selon vos indications, faire la litière des chats/sortir les chiens. Pour ces derniers, je peux offrir 1-2 marches par jours selon les habitudes de l'animal. Je pourrais aussi évidemment jouer avec eux et leur donner de l'amour. Je suis aussi ouverte à faire certains entraînements selon vos indications au besoin (à discuter).

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and have loved animals since I was a little girl! I used to want to be a vet, but then I realized there’s too much sadness in that job so I decided to be a musician instead. I am a great fit for pet sitting because I will treat your pet like my own. I will provide many cuddles and play as your pet would like, and we can go on as many walks as possible! I am a trustworthy and responsible young woman with lots of energy for fun! I am a freelancer, meaning I can honestly work around your schedule. I’m not picky about when you need me, more so just how much notice I have! I can devote my full day to taking care of your pet :) I live in a no smoking, no yelling, pet friendly environment. My house is super cozy, and my two roommates and animal lovers! I will make sure your pet has the best care possible, and you can trust I will keep them safe and loved as if they were my own.

About: Je me distingue par mon approche calme, attentive et fiable. J'aime prendre le temps d'observer chaque chien afin de comprendre son tempérament, son niveau d'énergie et ses habitudes pour lui offrir des soins adaptés. Je respecte toujours les consignes des propriétaires, qu'il s'agisse des horaires, des routines, de l'alimentation ou des préférences de leur compagnon. Je crois qu'une bonne communication est essentielle, c'est pourquoi j'envoie régulièrement des nouvelles et des photos pour que les propriétaires aient l'esprit tranquille. Ayant un mode de vie actif, je suis à l'aise avec les promenades, les jeux et les activités qui permettent aux chiens de dépenser leur énergie tout en restant en sécurité. Je continue également à développer mes connaissances sur le comportement canin afin d'offrir une expérience positive autant pour les chiens que pour leurs propriétaires. Je travaille de la maison, ce qui me permet d'offrir une présence régulière et de la compagnie aux chiens tout au long de la journée. Cette flexibilité est un grand avantage pour les animaux qui apprécient une présence humaine et des sorties adaptées à leur rythme. Je suis également disponible les soirs, les fins de semaine et certains jours fériés. Afin d'offrir un service de qualité, je limite volontairement le nombre de réservations que j'accepte. La sécurité et le bien-être de votre compagnon sont toujours ma priorité. Je prends le temps de me familiariser avec ses habitudes, son niveau d'énergie et vos consignes avant chaque service. Lors des promenades, je demeure attentif à l'environnement, j'évite les situations à risque et je respecte le rythme de votre chien. Si je me rends à votre domicile, je veille à respecter votre espace tout en maintenant la routine de votre animal afin qu'il se sente en confiance. Je communique régulièrement avec les propriétaires en envoyant des nouvelles et des photos pour qu'ils puissent partir l'esprit tranquille.

About: I've worked with many puppies and dogs including my own. I love working with puppies and helping them learn new tricks, as well as older fur babies that like a slower pace. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule which means your pets can get lots of undivided attention, playtime and walks, and will never be unattended. I recently moved from Toronto to the Montreal region. I'm happy and excited to bring my services to a new community of pet lovers! I only offer house sitting and dog walking at the moment since I no longer have my own space, however I’m certain your pets will greatly appreciate being in an environment they are comfortable in and familiar with while you take a break! Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby! 🤗 I promise you will get all the best pictures to send to friends and family!

​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!

My experience with Didem was amazing! Not only is she an extremely sweet girl, she made my senior dog with deep ration anxiety, feel calm and loved while I was away. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos throughout the day, and I could tell how comfortable Max felt with her - would recommend over and over again!

About: Bonjour, Hello, Hola! I'm Franshesca! 👋 I'm a passionate animal lover located in Laval with 5 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and puppies. I'm the proud owner of two rescue puppies from Chile, Bobby and Osita, who have taught me that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, so I take the time to learn their routine and preferences to help them feel as relaxed as possible. I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and care for small and medium-sized dogs. I'm also comfortable administering oral medication if needed. During every booking, you'll receive regular photo and video updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy and well cared for. My goal is simple, to care for your pet as if they were my own; with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾 Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I offer morning visits before work, evening visits after work, and flexible availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to maintain their routine while providing plenty of attention, patience, and care. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn their routine and provide care that's tailored to their individual needs. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll always provide a safe, loving environment while respecting your instructions and keeping their routine as consistent as possible.

About: Femme active et passionnée par les animaux. Offrant déjà le service à mes amis depuis des années. Pourquoi ne pas en faire profiter d’autres maîtres de poilus. Ma vie en ce moment n’est pas idéal pour l’arrivée d’un chien dans ma tribu. Mes 2 chats ont 18 ans et ils ne supporteraient pas l’arrivée d’un chien. Je suis toujours la première à me proposer pour une promenade dans mon entourage. Je travaille tout en ayant du temps libre. Je marche chaque jour depuis presque 5 ans. Ce qui m’a permis d’éliminer plus de 100 livres. Je désire donc combiner mes passions étant donné que je ne peux avoir le chien parfait pour notre famille en ce moment. Mes vieux chats de 18 ans ne le supporteraient pas. Je ne m’occupe de vos animaux que sur place dans leur domicile car c’est moins insécurisant pour votre animal. Une rencontre sans frais est requise au préalable afin de se connaître et établir le lien de confiance entre votre animal et moi. Une marche avec moi si votre chien est actif c’est 40 min que j’aurai avec lui. Sinon une période de jeu, de retour au calme ou de brossage afin de renforcer le lien et la confiance avec votre animal.

About: I’ve cared for my own cat since she was just a few weeks old, and she’s now 10. I have experience giving medication, monitoring behaviour and appetite, and taking pets to the vet when needed. I also regularly help care for my parents’ German Shepherd, including feeding and walks. I’m comfortable with both cats and larger dogs, attentive to changes, and able to stay calm if something unexpected comes up. I usually bike, but I can also drive if transportation is needed. I’m looking forward to meeting new furry friends, and I really appreciate clear instructions and timely communication. I work from home with a flexible schedule. My own cat is very independent so I can be away for up to 5 days without a sitter for my own I have two balconies and multiple litter boxes for extra furry companions. I also keep various foods, treats and toys on hand. If I go to your house I’ll follow your instructions closely :)

J’ai reçu des nouvelles régulièrement pendant le gardiennage et je pouvais constater que mon toutou était bien relax. Ça c’est bon signe!! 😁 À mon retour, la maison était propre et rangée. Isabel est respectueuse, douce, attentionnée. Je vous la recommande sans hésiter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Montréal-Est

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Montréal-Est on Rover is $73.26 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,114 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Montréal-Est. 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-Est 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-Est 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-Est 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:

  • 89% 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.
