Kendra was fantastic, she looked after our cat wonderfully and kept an eye on our house during her drop-in visits (even watered our plants after a hot/dry spell). Lots of cuddles and play with our furry boy; we will book her again!!

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!

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 have years of experience caring for dogs, from puppies to seniors. Growing up with dogs and cats, I developed a deep understanding of their needs. I've dog-sat for multiple families, ensuring their pets feel safe and loved. I’m attentive to each dog's unique personality, providing personalized care, walks, and playtime. If your dog needs a lot of activity, I would love to take them on a run or long walk. If they just need to relax, we can settle for a short walk and a movie day. Whether your dog needs extra attention or just a friendly companion, I am committed to giving them the best experience while you're away. I am available for weekend boarding for your pets or walks/visits after 4pm on weekdays (time may vary depending on the destination of your home). I live in a second story apartment with direct acccess to a backyard and to the street. Your pet will have plenty of room inside to play and run around.

About: Growing up, we would dog sit a lot for friends and family. My boy, Mac, passed last March. I am hoping to find some animal souls to befriend here in Montreal. It would be a privilege to get to know the creatures in my area. Just like your best bud, I enjoy long walks, treats, and cuddles. I work as an artist full time and I am generally making or reading at home. My schedule for the summer is extremely flexible but I must admit that I am a night owl. Furry creatures are welcome any time of the week. I live in a two bedroom apartment with my roommate and we have plenty of open space for a small creature. For larger lovelies, I am always happy to go on a long stroll around town. Having cared for my own dog, I know how to keep them safe and look out for any warnings signs of illness.

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: I started working with animals by volunteering at shelters in Mexico a few years ago, I caught the bug and have been working with shelter animals since. I have extensive knowledge surrounding dog behaviour (learned through work experience as well as courses and workshops), and handling various needs (health related, reactivity, predation, young dogs in need of lots of exercise and training...). I am currently unavailable on weekends due to work, but my weekday schedule is largely flexible and I can easily fit in walks and home visits :) Your pet's needs and safety come first! I'm very attentive to their body language and will adjust our visits according to their comfort and any specific care that you request. I love being active and will to everything I can to keep your pet entertained and happy while they're in my care.

I have set a separately place to stay for your dog.

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: Hi, I’m Valeria/ Bonjour, je m’appelle Valeria! 🐾💕 Je suis bilingue donc vous pouvez me contactez 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! 🏡🦮

About: Hi! I am Maria and I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals. I’ve been surrounded by them my whole life. Ive had two dogs (bichon frise, German shepherd), my uncle has a farm in which he raised all kind of animals. I’ve been far from home and far from my dogs for far too long, and I’ve been missing the feeling of taking care of them🥹 I’m currently a part time student during summer, but I’m pretty flexible any day of the week, especially during afternoons and early mornings, and anytime during the weekends! I live in an apartment, and I’ve always been surrounded by pets! I live next to a really nice walking area, where everywhere I go I find myself surrounded by pups and all kinds of cuties! So your pets will be in really good hands!💕

My dog Mika really enjoyed spending time with Lara! Her presence and care made Mika's time alone much easier and she was noticeably calmer when I came back home. Lara took the time to play and cuddle with Mika so she can spend her energy and just give her some good company. The whole experience was very smooth and stress free for me as well. I recommend Lara to anyone who wants their pet to be well taken care of in their absence

Brittany is the dream sitter for my Jacky! I couldn’t ask for anyone better. She comes to visit him twice a week when I’m at the office to keep him company and take him for walks. Brittany is reliable, always on time, responsive, and adapts very well to Jacky’s needs and little quirks. She has already built a wonderful bond with him.

Emma is an awesome sitter! We traveled with our dog to Montreal for a concert, normally we would not take our pet but we were continuing from there and not returning home. We thought a few drop ins for walks, pee breaks and company would be enough but our dog started barking if we left him alone in the room. Emma was very flexible and was able to stay for the duration of the concert (6hrs) as well as a couple of additional stretches so we could go out. She literally saved our trip, we would not have been able to go without her! Emma is friendly, sociable, responsive and got along well with our pet. I would highly recommend her.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Westmount

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Westmount on Rover is $27.75 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 1,670 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Westmount. About 83% 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.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available during your working hours. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

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 Westmount 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.

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 dog, 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.
