About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a dog and two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I also have professional experience working with animals, which has made me comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, sizes and needs. I’m attentive, patient and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I have availability for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting on select weekdays and weekends. I keep my Rover availability updated so you’ll always be able to see when I’m available to care for your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog at home, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule and care instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take introductions slowly and can keep pets separated when needed. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, supervision and care while they’re with me.

About: By Sabrina & Karim 👫🏻 With over 10 years of experience in pet sitting, we offer a warm, loving environment dedicated to your pet’s well-being, where they will truly feel at home! We have no pets or kids and work from home, so they won't be left alone. What sets us apart? ✅ Peace of mind while you are away : Every pet is unique, and I adapt my care to their habits, temperament, and specific needs. I also provide updates and pictures. ✅ Our love for pets: We grew up around all kinds of pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, parrots). We understand pets and make sure they feel their best. ✅ All the attention they need: I work mostly from home, and my husband is also very often at home. He loves pets as much as I do —and pets love us! ✅ Light medical care: Administration of medication, light post-operative care, or special monitoring when needed. ✅ A kind and reassuring approach: Patience, gentleness, and respect for each pet’s pace so they feel safe and relaxed. In our home, your companion enjoys a warm environment, attentive presence, and moments of bonding for a calm and stress-free stay. You can leave with peace of mind, knowing your pet is in very good hands! 🐾 I work from home and tend to be more of a homebody in the evenings and on weekends.My husband is also often home. We enjoy going for walks and we are generally quite active. In our home: 🏡 A safe and comfortable space: Our home offers a calm and welcoming environment, with dedicated areas for rest and play. The surrounding gardens allow dogs to exercise safely. 🐾 Personalized care: We take into account each pet’s habits (feeding schedule, walks, specific needs) so they feel right at home. ❤️ Attentive and caring presence: Constant supervision, cuddles for those who enjoy them, and respect for each companion’s personality.

“I had an amazing experience boarding my cat with Ekaterina! Her home is incredibly cat-friendly. From cozy spots to explore to plenty of space to feel comfortable. Ekaterina and her family were wonderfully sweet, patient, and welcoming, treating my cat like one of their own. I also loved the daily updates, complete with fun and witty commentary that always made me smile. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat-boarding experience. Highly recommended!”

“Souad is a wonderful sitter and I would not hesitate to have her again. She and Fig are now best friends. Not only did she take care of his essentials, she played and brushed him. He was breathing heavy after play and she stayed until he settled down and was ok. It was fun to see her pics and videos. Excellent communication. Thank you so much Souad!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner for most of my life and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’ve cared for my two cats for the past nine years and also previously had a dog, so I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs and understand their different needs and personalities. What sets me apart is that I’m patient, attentive, and dependable. I take the time to follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions rather than assuming every animal needs the same type of care. Whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, or simply keeping a pet company while their owner is away, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I can plan my day around scheduled visits, walks, feeding times, or check-ins and make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m also available for both regular weekly care and occasional care when owners are away or need some extra help. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any other instructions provided. Safety is always a priority. I pay close attention to doors, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything else that could affect a pet’s well-being. I also understand that some pets need time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and allow them to approach me at their own pace. My goal is for owners to feel comfortable knowing their pet and home are being treated with care and respect while they’re away.

“First of all, I highly recommend Srivalli as your cat sitter! She took care of our cat Vader for 18 days and we felt such at peace to see how caring she was with him. Constant pictures and videos every day, which we loved receiving and follow our cat's progress to a new environment. Her cat is wonderful and sweet and Vader and her got along so well together! We are happy to have found a cat sitter in the region that we can trust!”

About: EN/FR Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've been around dogs of many different breeds, both growing up and through pet sitting, including Pit Bulls, Chihuahuas, Huskies, German Shepherds, Miniature Shih Tzus, Beagles, Dachshunds, and many more. Over the past three years, my partner and I have completed numerous house and pet sits while traveling around the world. This experience has given us the opportunity to care for dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities, routines, and individual needs in many different environments. House sitting has now become a full-time lifestyle for us. I am also comfortable administering certain medications (depending on the method of administration) and place great importance on respecting each pet's routine so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away. --------------------- Je suis entourée d'animaux depuis aussi longtemps que ma mémoire me le permet. J'ai eu des chiens de plusieurs races dans mon entourage, à la maison ainsi qu'en garde, notamment des Pitbulls, Chihuahuas, Huskys, Bergers allemands, Shih Tzus miniatures, Beagles, Teckels et beaucoup plus. Au cours des trois dernières années, mon conjoint et moi avons réalisé de nombreux gardiennages de maisons et d'animaux pendant nos voyages à travers le monde. Cette expérience nous a permis de prendre soin de chiens et de chats aux personnalités, routines et besoins très variés, dans différents environnements. Le housesitting est devenu un mode de vie pour nous maintenant qu'on le fait à temps plein. Je suis également à l'aise d'administrer certains médicaments (selon le type d'administration) et j'accorde une grande importance au respect des habitudes de chaque animal afin qu'il se sente en sécurité, détendu et aimé pendant votre absence. EN/FR We manage our own schedule, which gives us a great deal of flexibility throughout the week. Since we both work remotely and have made house and pet sitting our full-time lifestyle, our daily routine naturally revolves around the needs of the pets in our care. Born and raised in Montreal, we've been together for over 10 years. Our years of house sitting have taught us how to quickly adapt to new homes, respect each family's routines, stay organized, and handle unexpected situations with a calm approach. When we're not working, we enjoy cooking, spending time outdoors, staying active, watching movies, and continually learning new skills. This balanced lifestyle allows us to provide pets with plenty of companionship, affection, and attentive care while their families are away. --------------------- Nous gérons notre propre horaire, ce qui nous offre une grande flexibilité au quotidien. Nous travaillons tous les deux à distance et avons fait du gardiennage de maisons et d'animaux notre mode de vie à temps plein. Nos journées s'organisent donc naturellement autour des besoins des animaux dont nous prenons soin. Originaires de Montréal et en couple depuis plus de 10 ans, nous sommes habitués à nous adapter rapidement à de nouveaux environnements et à respecter les habitudes de chaque foyer. Notre expérience de plusieurs années en housesitting nous a appris à être organisés et à gérer les imprévus avec calme. Lorsque nous ne travaillons pas, nous aimons cuisiner, profiter du plein air, faire de l'activité physique, regarder des films et continuer à apprendre de nouvelles choses. Cette routine équilibrée nous permet d'offrir une présence attentionnée, beaucoup d'affection et du temps de qualité aux animaux qui nous sont confiés. EN/FR We exclusively offer pet sitting in our clients' homes. We believe pets are happiest and most relaxed when they can remain in their familiar environment, surrounded by the routines and comforts they know. Our priority is to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (when required), and all the little habits that help them feel safe and comfortable. We also treat your home with the same care and respect we would our own. We believe good communication is essential, so we're happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos while you're away, giving you complete peace of mind. If you have any questions, we'd be happy to answer them and discuss your expectations so you can feel completely confident entrusting us with your home and your pets. --------------------- Nous offrons exclusivement des services de garde à votre domicile. Nous croyons que les animaux sont généralement plus heureux et détendus lorsqu'ils restent dans leur environnement familier, où leurs habitudes et leurs repères sont préservés. Notre priorité est de respecter votre routine autant que possible : heures des repas, promenades, jeux, médication (au besoin), ainsi que toutes les petites habitudes qui contribuent au bien-être de votre compagnon. Nous traitons également votre maison avec le même soin et le même respect que si c'était la nôtre. Nous aimons maintenir une bonne communication avec les propriétaires en donnant des nouvelles régulières, accompagnées de photos ou de vidéos, afin que vous puissiez profiter de votre absence en toute tranquillité. Si vous avez la moindre question, il nous fera plaisir d'y répondre et de discuter de vos attentes afin que vous puissiez faire un choix en toute confiance.

About: I have grown up around animals all my life and approach my care with warmth, patience, and affection. I currently have a rescue lab retriever mix (heavy on the mix) and grew up with cats. I believe we can learn so much from animals and deeply appreciate taking the time to get to know each personality. I'm detail oriented and a reliable communicator, approaching each new pet with compassion and curiosity. I am a contract worker in the performing arts and so my schedule is very flexible. Currently I am typically am available each day between the hours of 7am and 9pm. I value safety and emotional well-being above all and so sticking to their regular routine is my is priority. Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to adapt my routine with each of the pets I care for. I love playtime and cuddles and also understand that each pet has their boundaries and respect those always.

About: I’ve always loved animals, from dogs to horses, and cats to bunnies, so much so that I shadowed at a vet clinic when I was in high school. I feel comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personagrew up with a small poodle during my early childhood. My friends regularly rely on me to care for their pets while they’re away, even those with more complex medical needs. Furthermore, I have fostered 4 cats while searching for permanent homes for them. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in experienced and loving hands while you are away. I am currently between jobs and working as a catering server, so I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. This also means I am able to stay in an apartment for an extended amount of time. Most of my pet-sitting experience has been staying at someone’s home. I’ve received great feedback about leaving the place better than I found it, and sending regular picture updates to the owners. I pride myself on being a respectful and tidy person.

About: I’ve been taking in strays and fostering furry misfits since I was barely taller than a Labrador! From bottle-feeding kittens to winning over the grumpiest rescue dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’m home full-time, which means your pet gets my undivided attention : walks, playtime, belly rubs, and all the love they can get! So don’t you worry! Whether it’s in my home or yours, I aim to make pets feel like they’re on a cozy vacation. At my place, they’ll get a comfy spot to snooze, plenty of playtime, and a calm, loving environment (plus treats if allowed!). In your home, I keep their routine steady—meals on time, walks as usual, and lots of cuddles to keep tails wagging and whiskers twitching. I treat every pet like they’re my own—because for a little while, they kind of are!

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’m now a Shiba Inu dog mom and I’ve raised since he was a puppy so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. Having him has taught me a lot about patience, routines, and how different every dog’s personality can be. I also have experience caring for cats and really enjoy getting to know each pet and what makes them feel comfortable. Whether that means going for walks, playing, keeping them company, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I try to make things feel as normal as possible while their family is away. I’m also a certified dog groomer, which has given me even more hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. I currently offer house sitting and pet sitting in your home, so I can keep your pets comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. My schedule can be flexible depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, playtime, sleep, and care schedule while you’re away. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to follow the routine and instructions their family provides. I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything else related to their safety. I also respect your home and will make sure your pet receives plenty of supervision, affection, playtime, walks, and quiet time depending on their personality and needs. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you know how they’re doing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Pointe-Claire is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $28 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.

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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 335 sitters in Pointe-Claire, 94% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Pointe-Claire 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 79% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 87% 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.
