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 ☺️
“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 am responsible, detail-oriented, and patient. I work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I mainly work from home as a senior PhD student at McGill University, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I can easily adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs and ensure they receive plenty of care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I provide a safe, clean, and quiet environment for pets. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, playtime, and daily routines. As I work from home, I can give pets plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I will also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while away.
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 grew up with dogs and cats and volunteered at an animal shelter, caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments with patience and care. I work 100% remotely, which allows me to be flexible and fully present for the dogs and cats I care for throughout the day. I’m available weekdays and weekends, and can easily adapt. I prioritize pets’ safety and comfort. Whether at my home or yours, I follow routines, keep a clean, calm, and secure environment, and provide gentle, attentive care with regular updates.
“I loved having Heather take care of my cat! She came by for two days, fed her, played with her, and was super trustworthy. She made sure I was always updated, and even stopped by a day earlier just to meet the cat and get a tour without any extra charge. She’s so friendly, warm, and has a great energy. I will definitely work with her again in the future!”
About: Première réservation avec Rover ? Utilise le code LOUISD34725 pour 20$ de rabais ! Ma golden retriever, Paloma, est mon bébé depuis quatre ans maintenant. Elle m’a vraiment appris ce qu’il faut pour qu’un chien se sente bien. Je l’ai éduquée moi-même, ce qui m’a permis d’apprendre plusieurs jeux et techniques pour bien interagir avec un chien, peu importe la situation. Paloma est parfois timide et craintive selon les contextes, alors j’ai appris à gérer ces moments où une simple gâterie ne suffit pas, avec patience et calme. Je m’occupe de chaque chien que je garde comme si c’était le mien. Comme je suis travailleur autonome, je bénéficie d’une grande flexibilité, ce qui me permet d’être disponible le jour, en semaine. Ton chien ne passe pas la journée seul à attendre : il a une vraie présence à ses côtés. Je m’adapte facilement aux préavis courts ou aux changements d’horaire. Moi-même un pawrent, je sais ce que ça fait de confier son chien à quelqu’un d’autre, et je prends cette responsabilité très au sérieux. La sécurité est ma priorité absolue : laisse en tout temps à l’extérieur, jamais de longe et jamais de chien laissé libre (à moins d’indication contraire). Avant de garder un chien, je prends le temps de bien comprendre ses habitudes et son tempérament. Je respecte toutes les demandes spécifiques concernant l’alimentation, la routine ou les petites particularités de ton chien. Chez moi, l’environnement est calme et accueillant. Paloma adore la compagnie. Entre les promenades sur le bord du Canal Lachine, j’aime les moments tranquilles avec un bon livre, ce qui permet à ton chien de se reposer à mes côtés sans être seul. Tu recevras des photos et des nouvelles régulièrement, car je comprends à quel point il est important de savoir que son chien est bien.
“Loved Amelie's service. She took care my two kitties and Ichiro seemed to really liked her. We can see that Amelie loves animals. Also, we were communicating all long which I really appreciated it. Impeccable and trustworthy. I really recommend her. ?”
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.
“This was our first time using the app, and we consider ourselves very lucky enough to have stumbled across Eve’s profile ahead of our two-week vacation abroad. Eve was incredibly responsive and took great care of our three cats. We very much plan on hiring her again in the future and would absolutely recommend her services to others pet owners. Thanks for everything Eve!”
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!
“Iván has watched my cat Beethoven twice now and always takes great care of him! He has great communication and I can trust that my cat is in good hands. I would definitely recommend him!”
About: Hi there! I'm Tess. I've loved dogs my whole life and I'm very comfortable around them - all breeds and sizes. I own an Olde English Bulldog so I am very familiar with stubborn, strong, and high energy dogs. I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I would love to give my extra time to some furry friends. I speak both French and English, am an active person who already walks quite a bit, and very punctual and responsible. I will treat and care for your dog like my own! I will not bring my dog along for any scheduled walks, yours will have my undivided attention. My rates are flexible so don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to meeting you and your dog :) I currently work for myself and from home so I have a flexible schedule and the time to watch dogs as needed. I can do home visits and/or walking. I cannot care for your pets in my home since my dog is selective, but I can easily come to your home and tend do your dog’s needs.
“I needed someone at the last minute, and was not home to give the keys or instructions. Fiorella seamlessly received and followed instructions remotely to get access to the keys and take care of my old lady cat. I strongly recommend her!”
About: It's more than just experience—it's heart. With 10+ years of caring for animals and living alone, your pets become my full focus and cherished companions. I don’t just offer pet care; I offer a home away from home, filled with attention, love, and personalized care that goes beyond the basics. Every pet is treated like family!

This means I’m able to offer personalized attention throughout the day, whether it's for walks, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. I can easily accommodate last-minute bookings and adapt to your pet’s routine, ensuring they get the care and love they need, whenever they need it. Your pet will never feel neglected, as I’m always around to provide comfort and attention. I provide all types of care for pets, whether in my home or at my clients' homes.

Whether your pet needs extra attention, specific routines, or just some love while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they are well cared for in any environment.
“Alicia has watched our cats before, so I was happy that she was able to do it again. Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to extend her visits twice and she was wonderfully accommodating. She is an excellent pet sitter and our cats love her. I would not hesitate to book her whenever I have an upcoming trip. Merci Alicia!”
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.

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! 🐾💕
Hailey is super attentive with the pets and very easy to communicate with. She sends photos and detailed descriptions of walks, food and their behaviour each day. It’s the second time we book with her and our pets are comfortable and at ease. Highly recommended and we will continue to book Hailey’s help whenever needed. Thanks again Hailey!
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.

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.

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.

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.
