“Our cat was so we'll taken care of while we were away by Umut. He went above and beyond to ensure our little furry buddy was cared for and communicated with us regularly with updates to give us piece of mind. We'll be using Umut again for future pet sitting needs!”

“J’ai confié mon chat Yummy à Naomi pendant mes 6 semaines de vacances, avec des visites du lundi au jeudi, et je suis vraiment très satisfaite. Elle est toujours ponctuelle et prend un excellent soin de Yummy. Dès les premières visites, elle a compris sa personnalité et ses besoins. Elle a tout de suite remarqué que Yummy adore surtout les câlins et l’attention, bien plus que les jeux, et elle s’est parfaitement adaptée à elle. Elle prend aussi le temps de vérifier que tout va bien dans la maison, notamment s’il y a du vomi ou tout autre signe qui pourrait indiquer un problème de santé. Elle surveille son humeur, son comportement et son état général avec beaucoup d’attention. Chaque jour, je recevais des nouvelles accompagnées de nombreuses photos, ce qui était très rassurant. Yummy semblait vraiment apprécier sa compagnie, et ça se voyait qu’elle était à l’aise avec elle. Grâce à son sérieux et à sa bienveillance, j’ai pu profiter pleinement de mon voyage l’esprit tranquille. Elle est également très flexible : lorsque mes amis ne pouvaient pas passer le week-end, j’ai pu ajouter des visites sans problème. Je la recommande sans hésitation à toute personne qui cherche quelqu’un de fiable, attentionné et passionné pour s’occuper de son animal.”

Not only did she make sure Niki had everything she needed, but she also genuinely cared about her comfort and well-being. It was clear that she treated Niki with patience and kindness.”

It was clear she genuinely cared about the cats and about keeping my apartment secure while I was gone. What really got me was how quickly they warmed up to her! My cats sometimes hide from people they’ve known for years, but they were eating well and so happy and relaxed when I got home. Iryna went above and beyond and I’m so grateful for how well she took care of them. Would absolutely book again!”

“Isabela was a wonderful sitter! She was easy to communicate with, punctual, and incredibly flexible, especially as I had to change the timing a few times. It was clear from the moment she met my elderly cat that she would be caring and affectionate with him—she was immediately so sweet with him. She left my home tidy and also provided a detailed update on how my cat was doing throughout the week I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. I would recommend Isabela without hesitation and would happily have her sit for my cat again! Isabela a été une merveilleuse gardienne ! La communication avec elle était très facile, elle était ponctuelle et très flexible, notamment parce que j’ai dû modifier les horaires à quelques reprises. Dès qu’elle a rencontré mon chat âgé, il était évident qu’elle serait douce et affectueuse avec lui — elle a tout de suite été adorable avec lui. Elle a laissé ma maison bien rangée et m’a également donné des nouvelles détaillées de l’état de mon chat pendant toute la semaine où j’étais absente, ce qui m’a beaucoup rassurée. Je recommande Isabela sans aucune hésitation et je serais ravie de lui confier à nouveau la garde de mon chat !”

About: Hi! I have many years of experience with dogs, cats and birds. Dogs: I have had two dogs in my childhood - a boxer and an Italian greyhound. I am comfortable with any size of dog and acclimated with different temperaments and energy levels. I have experience feeding, walking, playing with, grooming (brushing teeth, clipping nails, brushing), and bathing dogs. I have also administered chemo pills to a friend’s dog (golden retriever) over the course of two years. Cats: I have had 2 cats over the course of the last 8 years. I treat my animals with the highest form of care: brushing teeth daily, grooming weekly, litter box twice a day, yearly vet check-ups, and 10-15 minutes of active play a day. I have watched over friends’ dogs and cats many times and put in the same level of care every time. My passion for animals has stayed with me for life and I am eager to meet and take care of your pet! I am currently a PhD student and therefore have a lot of time and flexibility for walks and daytime visits. I am an early riser, so I am comfortable coming before 9am. I am comfortable with many forms of care for both cats and dogs. Walking, bathing, grooming (nails, fur, teeth), enrichment, feeding, and cleaning the litter box.

“Alicia is very meticulous, from day 1 when she visited my appartment for drop-in visits, she was taking notes on what should be done during her time in my appartment. She took the time and was patient with my cat, since she was hiding from her under the couch or bed the first two visits. But with her patience, she managed to make my cat get out of her hiding place and play with her. Also she was sending me a lot of photos and giving me updates after her visit is done. I would definitely recommend Alicia!”

I had very limited internet access during my trip, but she still made every effort to keep me updated, and I really appreciated coming back to all of her messages, photos, and videos. She took wonderful care of my cat and also left my home incredibly clean and tidy. It was clear that she was attentive, caring, and respectful of both my pet and my home. I felt completely comfortable having Jingyi look after everything while I was away and would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend her!”

About: *English will follow* Hello 🌷 Je m'appelle Lucile, grande amoureuse des animaux en général, j'ai hâte de rencontrer vos petits (ou grands) compagnons ! J’ai plusieurs années d’expérience comme dogsitter en France, où j'ai pu faire de la garde à domicile, des promenades et des visites. J’ai également fait du bénévolat dans un refuge au Népal accueillant près de 150 chiens, toutes races et tailles confondues. 🐶 Certains avec des histoires plus tristes que d'autres mais toujours beaucoup d'amour à donner. J'ai adoré cette période de vie et ai beaucoup appris grâce à ça. J’adore m’occuper des chiens, jouer avec eux, se balader, mais aussi respecter leur temps calme. Je les considère vraiment comme des membres de la famille. Je préfère néanmoins m'occuper d'un seul à la fois pour être sur de lui accorder toute l'attention dont il a besoin. Je travaille à mon compte, donc je bénéficie d’une grande flexibilité dans mes horaires et mes disponibilités. Je peux m'adapter à vos emplois du temps assez facilement, tout comme je peux être très présente pour vos animaux avec plusieurs balades/sorties par journées selon leur besoins ou habitudes. J'ai à coeur de discuter avec vous pour m'assurer que votre compagnon aura tout ce dont il à besoin, sans stress, autant pour vous que pour lui. ☺️ Pour les gardes, je vis avec mon partenaire, Zach (tout aussi amoureux des animaux). Il saura être présent et attentionné, et sera disponible pour les rencontres avant gardes. -- Hello 🌷 My name is Lucile, and I’m a huge animal lover. I can’t wait to meet your little (or big) companions! I have several years of experience as a dog sitter in France, where I’ve provided in-home care, walks, and visits. I’ve also volunteered at a shelter in Nepal that’s home to nearly 150 dogs of all breeds and sizes. 🐶 Some have had sadder stories than others, but they all have plenty of love to give. I loved that time in my life and learned so much from it. I love taking care of dogs, playing with them, and going for walks, but I also respect their need for quiet time. I truly consider them members of the family. However, I prefer to care for just one dog at a time to ensure I give him all the attention he needs. I’m self-employed, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and availability. I can adapt to your schedule quite easily, and I can also be very attentive to your pets, taking them on several walks or outings each day depending on their needs or routines. I’m committed to talking with you to ensure your pet has everything they need, without any stress—for both you and them. ☺️ As for house-sitting, I live with my partner, Zach (who is just as fond of animals as I am). He’ll be supportive and attentive, and will be available for pre-house-sitting meetings. Étant à mon compte, j’ai un emploi du temps très flexible et peux facilement adapter mes journées. Je suis disponible en semaine comme le week-end, pour des promenades, visites ou gardes, selon les besoins de chaque propriétaire. Je connais à l'avance les journées où je ne suis pas disponibles et pourrais vous les communiquer dès le début. Je veille avant tout à la sécurité et au bien-être de chaque animal. Je m'engage à respecter vos habitudes et les consignes données. Je reste attentive en tout temps, je m'engage à prendre le temps avec vos animaux, multiplier les balades selon leurs besoins, les temps de jeux, câlins, qu'ils ne se sentent pas seuls mais aussi à leur laisser leurs moments si c'est nécessaire (selon leur personnalité).

Je recommande vivement Heather. Heather est très fiable et très attentive aux besoins de ses petits protégés. Pendant mon absence de 15 jours, elle s’est très bien occupée de ma chatte, Bombay, et a su s’en faire une amie. Elle m’a donné des nouvelles à chacune de ses visites et m’a envoyé de très jolies photos de Bombay. Tout était parfait à mon retour.

Umut was instrumental in easing the stress of leaving my car, Fyodor, for a week. He showed up every day as planned and always sent updates with photos. He was easy to communicate with and made the entire process, which was new to me, feel simple and worry-free. I’ll definitely hire him again for future trips.

Claudia was wonderful with Austin! She was reliable, caring, and very attentive to all the little details. Austin can be quite shy with new people, but Claudia was patient with him and took the time to make him feel comfortable. By the end of my trip, he was even coming out for treats and letting her pet him, which says a lot! She kept me updated during her visits and followed all my instructions carefully, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I’m very grateful to Claudia and would absolutely trust her with Austin again. Highly recommended!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Westmount

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Westmount on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 794 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Westmount. About 88% of Westmount 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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 794 sitters in Westmount, 88% 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 Westmount 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 calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

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

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
