Sarah is the best! She always provides thorough updates and great pictures on each of her visits. We’ve used Sarah a few times while out of town and know that our cats are getting the care and attention they need. I would 100% recommend!

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: Taking care of dogs has always been a part of my life from an early age. I grew up with my dog, Lady; and dog sitting for my neighbours. I also have experience in special needs dog sanctuaries. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! As a part-time university student, I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to focus on your pup’s needs—whether that’s long walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I treat every client’s home with the same respect I would my own. I follow all instructions carefully—from feeding routines to walk schedules and house rules. I make sure pets feel safe and loved in their familiar space, keeping their routines consistent to reduce stress while you’re away. I also can keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet (and home!) are in good hands.

C’était la première fois que je faisais appel à un petsitter et mon expérience a été à ravir! Sarah est très attentionnée, fiable et professionnelle. Elle donne des nouvelles régulièrement, prends photos/vidéos et fais des comptes rendus sans même qu’on ait à lui demander. Je la recommande sans hésitation et je ferai de nouveau appel à ses services. Merci encore Sarah !

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: I have over 5 years of personal pet care experience and have been pet sitting for multiple friends with pet care over the past year. I helped feed the cats, change water, clean the litter box and give any other treats or play time requested. I am currently home full time and am available for pet care and responsibilities. I love animals and hope to be able to help others take care of the while they are away. I am available for most weekdays and weekends! I have a safe clean apartment that is safe for pets to visit. In clients homes I am respectful and clean any messes that their pets make.

About: I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, energy level, and routine so they feel secure and understood. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or calm and cuddly, I adjust to their needs and make sure they get the right balance of exercise, affection, and companionship Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I make sure to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for so they receive consistent attention, walks, and playtime without feeling rushed. I care for pets the way I’d want someone to care for my own. I follow their normal routine, make sure they’re fed on time, get their walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. In your home, I respect your space and keep things clean while making sure your pet feels comfortable and relaxed. In my home, I create a safe, calm space where they can play, rest, and feel at home. Most importantly, I give them patience, affection, and genuine care

About: I am a senior student at McGill hoping to continue vet school after graduation. My crusty white dog is my best friend. I’ve had her for 12 years (since I was 9) and she has been there for all my major life experiences. Over these years my love for animals was not only confined to her, I have fostered multiple cats and dogs and rescued strays back home in Jordan. Currently, I have one dog and 8 stray cats that grew up in our loving home. They are provided with all the medical care they need and all the love and affection they deserve. I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule during the week, especially in the evenings. I am generally available on weekends and can adjust my schedule when needed to accommodate pet care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets are supervised, secure, and well cared for. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats through pet sitting, fostering, and caring for my own dog for the past 12 years. I have also looked after friends’ pets.

About: Les chiens ont toujours occupé une grande place dans nos vies. On a tous les deux grandi avec eux et on a adoré chaque instant. Au fil des années, on a partagé notre maison avec un basset hound, un bouvier bernois, un toy poodle, un carlin et un berger de pologne, et on les a tous entraînés nous-mêmes. Chacun avait sa propre personnalité et son propre tempérament, et chacun nous a appris quelque chose de nouveau ! On est un couple actif et on adore vraiment emmener les chiens en course ou en longue balade. On n'a pas de chien à la maison en ce moment, alors honnêtement, ce serait un vrai plaisir de se balader et de courir avec le vôtre. Que votre chien soit du genre canapé ou débordant d'énergie, on s'adaptera à son rythme et à son style. Dogs have always been a big part of our lives. We both grew up with them and loved every moment of it. Over the years, we've shared our home with a basset hound, a bernese mountain dog, a toy poodle, a pug, and a polish lowland sheepdog, and trained them all ourselves. Each one had their own personality and temperament, and each one taught us something new! We're an active couple and genuinely love bringing dogs along for runs or long walks. We currently don't have a dog at home, so honestly, it would be such a pleasure to go on walks and runs with yours. Whether your pup is a couch potato or a bundle of energy, we will adapt and match their style. On travaille tous les deux de la maison la plupart du temps, ce qui nous donne une belle flexibilité dans nos journées. On peut facilement intégrer des visites et des promenades à notre routine, sans que ça soit fait à la va-vite. Que ce soit une balade le matin, un check-in en milieu de journée ou une visite en après-midi, on s'adapte à l'horaire de votre animal. We both work from home most days, which means our days are pretty flexible. We can easily fit drop-in visits and dog walks into our routine without it feeling rushed. Whether it's a morning walk, a midday check-in, or an afternoon visit, we're able to adapt to your pet's schedule rather than the other way around! Quand on se rend chez vous, notre priorité c'est que votre animal se sente en sécurité et à l'aise dans son propre espace. On sait que les animaux sont toujours plus détendus dans un environnement familier, alors on respecte leurs routines, leurs habitudes, et on prend le temps de laisser les animaux plus timides ou nerveux apprivoiser notre présence à leur propre rythme. Pour les promenades, on reste attentifs en tout temps. On observe le langage corporel, on reste dans des zones sécuritaires et on s'assure que chaque sortie soit une belle expérience pour votre chien. Votre maison et votre animal sont entre des mains attentionnées et bienveillantes ! When we come to your home, our priority is making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own space. We know that animals are always more relaxed in a familiar environment, so we follow their routines, respect their habits, and take the time to let shy or nervous pets warm up to us at their own pace. For dog walks, we stay attentive at all times. We keep an eye on body language, stay in safe areas, and make sure every outing is a good experience for your pup. Your home and your pet are in careful, caring hands!

About: Hi, I’m Valeria/ Bonjour, je m’appelle Valeria! 🐾💕 Je suis bilingue donc vous pouvez me contacter en anglais ou en français! Growing up, I’ve always loved being around animals, especially cats. I’ve cared for many friends’ and neighbours’ pets over the years, from dogs & cats to hamsters & budgies. My goals is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, and to treat your pet with the same care and attention as I would my own! 🧸🤍 I’m pretty much a cat expert but I’m also happy caring for small dogs. Things like going on walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure they’re given lots & lots of attention! 🦴🥎 Whether your pet is playful, shy, cuddly, independent, or just needs a little extra patience, I’ll always make sure to adapt to their personality and routine. 🐶🐱✨ I work in tech so I have the chance to work from home Thursdays and Fridays (Monday to Wednesday I’m free after 5PM!). Those 2 days, I’m available during the day for more visits, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m also always home on weekends, which gives me plenty of free time to care for your pet. Clear communication is super important to me and I value transparency, both on your end and mine. I’ll always keep you updated with photos & videos of your pet so you can feel at peace while you’re away. 📸🤍 I also live close to the metro so I’m flexible with last minute bookings and able to commute to almost any location! 📍 Every visit, I make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine & schedule as closely as possible. I ensure they feel comfortable and supervised, while respecting their personal space and needs, feeding and water routines, litter/potty habits, and any special instructions you provide me. Your pet’s health, safety, and well-being is always my priority! 🏡🦮

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!

Kendra did an amazing job looking after our boys while we were away for over a week. She followed their feeding instructions meticulously, cleaned their litter daily and made sure to give them individual time and attention, and from what we saw in the photos she sent, definitely charmed them! The detailed messages she sent daily really helped us relax and be sure they were being well cared for. We came back to two very happy cats! We would recommend Kendra to anyone looking for a reliable and warm person to care for their pets and will definitely book with her again!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Westmount

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Westmount on Rover is $25.53 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 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 796 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Westmount. About 87% 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 796 sitters in Westmount, 87% 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:

  • 89% 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.
