“Heather did a great job looking after my cats! She was very conscientious and checked in when she noticed my fridge had accidentally been left open, and made sure not to feed Minnow any food that might have been spoiled. I felt really comfortable knowing Minnow was in her care.😊 Heather was also super friendly and easy to communicate with. I’d happily hire her again!”
“Samuel was a lifesaver! 🥹 He came over on very short notice when I had a last-minute outing, and it was his first time taking care of my cat. He followed all my instructions perfectly, kept him well-fed and entertained, and took such good care of him. I’m so grateful and would absolutely recommend him!”
About: I’ve taken care of my cousin’s dog every other weekend. He’s a golden retriever and the most loving dog ever. I fed him, took him on walks, played with him and I’d love to walk your dog or take care of them. I’m available for dog walks on weekdays or weekends. As for the exact timings, we can work it out together as we discuss the dog’s needs. I prefer taking care of the pets at the owner’s home because I personally think my home is not adequate for a pet. I live in a small apartment…
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8 years old, when I walked my neighbours schnauzer around the park almost every weekend until she died when I was 16. I’ve also sat all types of dogs from golden retrievers to puppy dachshunds. I am not afraid of any animals and I’ll always treat them with the best care I can give. Being far from home and away from my pets I am trying to fill the animal sized hole in my heart. I currently a student at Concordia university and don’t have a full time job rather I do freelance work where I can find it luckily most of my classes aren’t in person so I am free almost all of the time Unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to keep any animals in my student residence. But if you invite me into your home to take care of your animal(s) I will treat the area with the upmost respect and will clean up any mess me or the animal makes while I am present
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’m now a Shiba Inu dog mom and I’ve raised since he was a puppy so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. Having him has taught me a lot about patience, routines, and how different every dog’s personality can be. I also have experience caring for cats and really enjoy getting to know each pet and what makes them feel comfortable. Whether that means going for walks, playing, keeping them company, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I try to make things feel as normal as possible while their family is away. I’m also a certified dog groomer, which has given me even more hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. I currently offer house sitting and pet sitting in your home, so I can keep your pets comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. My schedule can be flexible depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, playtime, sleep, and care schedule while you’re away. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to follow the routine and instructions their family provides. I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything else related to their safety. I also respect your home and will make sure your pet receives plenty of supervision, affection, playtime, walks, and quiet time depending on their personality and needs. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you know how they’re doing.
About: Animals have always been a passion of mine ever since I was a kid. My animal care experience begins on my uncle’s farm where I would help out with the chickens, the sheep and even the donkey. I loved taking care of animals so much that I became a camper at La Ferme d’André for 6 years. I also took part in the Youth Ambassador Program at the SPCA, where I got specialized training on dog and cat behaviour, and worked closely with special needs pets. I have been regularly petsitting since 2022. The animals I have taken care of include dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, mice, fish and rats. I have experience administering medicine, caring for seniors as well as puppies and kittens. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and needs! I’m currently working part time so I can dedicate the majority of my week to taking care of animals. I am available on weekdays, weekends, in the mornings, afternoons, evenings and at night as need be. I am eager to honour and respect every home that I visit and will happily follow any special instructions. Most pet owners I have sat for have requested daily pet pics, which I am more than happy to provide! I can also conduct house sitting tasks such as watering plants or opening/closing blinds at certain hours if need be.
“We had a great experience with Kayla, who took care of our senior kitties for 2 weeks! We were anxious about leaving them so it was very helpful to have daily updates and photos. We're so glad they had good company while we were away! Kayla was so easy to talk to and we felt we could trust her, would definitely recommend!!”
“Heather was fantastic! My cat can be quite picky about who she accepts affection from, but she seemed to take to Heather instantly. I appreciated the clear, consistent communication and could tell from her messages that Heather really cared about taking the time to get to know my little lady.”
About: I have had cats in my life since I was 10. I genuinely enjoy and taking care of cats. I love to give the best possible care that they deserve! I have experience in giving medication, caring for senior cats, and following any special routines. I work seasonally in the summer, so this fall and winter I am home most days to visit and hang out with your special kitty. I love meeting new cats and I quickly learn about each cat's needs and wants. I understand some cats are more shy and reserved. I also have a spacious one bedroom apartment which can easily be turned into seperate spaces for cats before they are introduced.
About: I’ve grown up caring for a dog and a cat since I was 11 years old! I am very comfortable taking care of your pets at all stages, including puppy training and senior dog care. I'm currently finishing my degree at Concordia University, so I have a very flexible availability that can easily accommodate your daily routine and/or work schedule. I have extensive experience in obedience training, walking, and caring for pets! I'm comfortable with crate and leash training, and I'm happy to accommodate your pets level of behaviour.
About: I can watch your dog at YOUR home not mine, feed your dog, possibly even groom your dog but we can discuss that after you contact me. I’m looking forward to becoming your dog’s newest bestie 🐾 I am able to make time for your dog to accommodate your schedule. I will be available for you and your fur babies needs whenever I am needed. I can watch your pets at your home where you know they are safe and sound and can trust that they will be taken care of fully and loved as if they were my own.
About: I’m the ultimate dog auntie: loving, reliable, and totally obsessed with making pups feel safe and at home. I’ve been professionally dog-sitting for 5+ years on Rover with only 5-star reviews, and I’ve helped care for my sister’s four very different dogs, so I know every pup needs something a little different. Now based in Montreal, I’m excited to grow my doggy network and meet some local furry friends! No dog of my own (yet), but yours will get all the love. 🐶💕 I work from home and spend a lot of time outside with daily walks or jogs.I love exploring Montreal on foot, so your pup will join me on walks through new neighborhoods, visits to dog-friendly patios, or adventures to local parks. I treat dogs like family—if I’m going out, they’re coming too! Every pet is different, but most thrive with a consistent routine—especially when they’re missing their paw-rents. I do my best to mirror their home schedule as closely as possible to ease anxiety and help them feel comfortable. That means open communication with you to learn your dog’s habits, needs, and favorite comforts, so I can give them the most familiar, stress-free experience while you’re away.
About: I have always been a natural caregiver but after i got a dog and a cat at home I realized that caring for animals is such a fulfilling thing. I know how much your furry friends mean to you, and I’ll treat them with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I work full time. But I am flexible before and after work and in the weekend. Please let me know which days and I will confirm my availability accordingly I know how ti maintain cat and dog’s hygiene. How to groom them when necessary. Cats are clean creatures and they require daily litter cleaning and washing of food and water dishes.

About: Animals are my biggest passion, and caring for dogs has been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. After sharing 14 wonderful years with my Vizsla, I deeply understand the bond between dogs and their humans, as well as the unique needs that come with different life stages from energetic adult dogs to gentle seniors. I work from home and love staying active, so your dog will get plenty of attention, mental stimulation, custom feeding schedules, and long, enjoyable walks along local paths and parks. I work from home most days and am very active outside of that so I’m available to provide the required attention and care to your pet in terms of walks, feeding, and of course, play time! Whether at my home or yours, safety and trust come first. In my home, I offer a secure, dog-friendly space with constant supervision. When visiting your home, I strictly preserve your pet’s normal routine, double-check all doors and gates, and maintain high standards of cleanliness. I provide clear communication and daily photo updates so you can enjoy your time away worry-free.
“Mathieu est une personne très douce et respectueuse qui s’est super bien occupé de nos chats en notre absence ! Nous avons eu des nouvelles à chaque passage avec des photos montrant qu’ils ont bien été chouchoutés (gratouilles/ jeux). L’un de nos deux chat a un caractère plus difficile que l’autre. Il a su s’y s’adapter sans aucune crainte et avec facilité ce qui nous a permis de partir en étant très sereins. Merci à lui ! Nous referont appel à ses services avec grand plaisir !”

Dina was very professional during our Meet & Greet and put me at ease, she was clearly experienced with dogs. She was punctual and provided photos during her check-in. I was free to enjoy my evening knowing Tilly had been comfortable enough to eat her dinner and had a fun outing. I would book Dina's services again!
He did an amazing job taking care of my dog! He was very patient, caring, and attentive, and he followed all of my instructions perfectly. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. He kept me updated and made sure everything was done exactly as requested. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to take care of their pets. I will absolutely book with him again!
Morgan was absolutely amazing with Coco. From the moment we left him with Morgan, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She took such great care of him, gave him so much love and attention, and kept us updated throughout her stay. It was clear that Coco was happy, comfortable, and very well taken care of. We’re so grateful for Morgan and would 100% trust her with Coco again. Thank you so much, Morgan! 🥰 ps: Coco is insulin-dependent and Morgan did well!!

Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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.
