About: I love dogs! I have been taking care of dogs with Rover for a year and a half so I am familiar with how to respond to different personalities and ensure they're happy and taken care of. I have experience administering oral medication and looking after high-energy puppies. I have also completed canine training with the Toronto Humane Society which covered animal behaviour and positive reinforcement learning. I am currently a Master's student at McGill so I can spend time with a pet for dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits during the week! :) I can offer dog walking services and play sessions in the large outdoor parks in the city. I enjoy long walks so distance is not a problem ☺️
About: I’ve had pets at home my entire life, and it’s been a privilege having my best friends grow up with me. I have 14 years of experience in routine dog care (my own and clients’) from puppies to elder dogs weighing 3kg-70kg (6.5lbs-155lbs). I’m comfortable with overnight sitting, drop-in medication administration, walking various sizes, following owner-outlined instructions, and managing multi-dog/pet households. My cat care experience of 2 years includes drop-in feeding, play, and checking water levels for 3 cats. — I speak English/Je parle Français/Hablo Español I’m a newer Montréal resident and currently working part-time, so I have a flexible weekday/weekend schedule to make your pet(s) my priority for both shorter visits and longer stays! At a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so that pets feel safe and comfortable while their owner’s away. I follow instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific medications or dietary needs, if required. While making sure your fur family gets plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment, I’ll also be keeping your home safe during sittings.
“I'm so happy with the exceptional care Zhubo provided for my cat during the drop-in visit. She paid attention to the details of my cat's diet habits and stayed to play with her so she didn’t feel too lonely while I was away. Beyond that, she provided very nice photos of my cat! My cat looks very good and relaxed in the photos, which gives me great peace of mind. I will definitely book her services to take care of my cat in the future if I am away from home. Highly recommend for anyone needing reliable and caring pet care services. Thank you, Zhubo!”
About: I have many years of experience dealing with dogs & puppies - having had a couple of them myself. I treat dogs with love and care, always tailoring to each individual pup. I also have experience in dealing with reactive dogs and physical issues (tri-pods). I love spending time with dogs and making them feel happy and taken care of :) Just starting out on this journey - have always wanted to do this as I love spending time and playing with dogs … what better time to do this than now! I work full time but only in office Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday - I also live right next to my office so able to go home at lunch or at any time during the day! Other than that, home all the time! Lots of playing and cuddles! I live in a quiet neighbourhood, close to dog parks and green areas/parks. I can tailor to you and your dogs needs - whether your dog needs to be in a crate or not, special needs or requests, anything to make you and your furry friend comfortable!

“Amélie was on time and very at ease my puppy land shark! Addie loved her immediately and I. An tell she had a good time because she felt asleep so fast after her outing. Amelie was not concerned at all by the puppy biting stage and I really appreciated her help this morning! Thank You Amélie!”
About: I currently take care of three cats on the regular. I have lots of experience and have owned multiple pets, including cats and dogs. I work from home, which means your pets will get lots of attention and lots of head scratches, cats, as well as animals in general tend to come to me easily and happily. Working from home I give them attention all day. I generally have cats sleeping on me while I’m at work. I play with them during the day and during my shift sometimes depending how busy I am teaching. I generally feed them in the morning when I wake up from my workout and give them more food in the evening. I live in an apartment and I am a remote worker, so I’m at home all the time. My apartment is safe and I regularly take care of cats. I clean my apartment regularly and always check my pets to make sure that they’re always completely healthy. I live in an apartment so its safe.

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.

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.
“Fatemeh was great with our fearful kitty. She respected her space but bonded with her using treats as instructed. She kept everything very neat and tidy and communicated well throughout our trip. Highly recommend!”
“Justine a très bien gardé nos 2 lapins pendant 2 semaines selon toutes les instructions. C'était très facile de communiquer, et elle a même distribué un traitement. Au besoin nous referons appel à elle sans hésiter !”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westmount
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. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly wonderful sitter for their pet! 🐾💕

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.

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.
