“Lynne was absolutely wonderful with Molly! From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and proactive, reaching out in advance to ensure everything was set up for a successful visit. Throughout the day, she took exceptional care of Molly and kept me updated, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. It was clear that Molly was happy, comfortable, and in great hands! Lynne has a natural gift with dogs and a calm, caring presence that animals seem to trust immediately. I am so grateful for the excellent care she provided and would not hesitate to book with her again. I look forward to working with Lynne in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and truly outstanding pet sitter! :)”
“I am very grateful for Adeline’s care for our cat, Elle. At the start of the sitting, Adeline could not get into the house due to issues with the lock. While we were on a plane heading out of the country, Adeline coordinated with us and a locksmith to ensure she could enter the house promptly and feed Elle. What would have otherwise been a highly stressful situation was made manageable knowing Adeline was there, so we thank her for that!”
“I was a little nervous leaving my puppy with someone new but Joao was so so great. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable and kind pet sitter. Thank you Joao!!”
About: Fr: Grandir avec des chiens dès l'âge de 7 ans m'a appris la véritable signification de l'engagement envers un animal. Pour moi, un animal de compagnie est un membre de la famille à part entière. Tout au long de ma vie, je me suis occupée à 100 % de l'éducation et du bien-être général de mes chiens : de leur alimentation, leurs bains et leurs promenades quotidiennes, jusqu'aux visites chez le vétérinaire, la prise de médicaments et un accompagnement rempli d'amour durant leur vieillesse. De plus, de manière autodidacte et avec beaucoup de patience, j'ai dressé mon dernier chien pour qu'il soit très obéissant, en lui apprenant des ordres comme s'asseoir, aboyer sur commande et chercher des objets. En: Growing up with dogs since I was 7 years old taught me the true meaning of commitment to an animal. For me, a pet is a full-fledged family member. Throughout my life, I have been 100% involved in the training and overall well-being of my dogs: from their feeding, baths, and daily walks, to vet visits, medication administration, and providing loving care through their senior years. Additionally, through self-teaching and a lot of patience, I trained my last dog to be very obedient, teaching him commands like sit, bark on command, and fetch objects. Fr: Aujourd'hui au Canada, je me consacre au soin des animaux. Le matin, je vais à l'école, puis je passe tout le reste de l'après-midi et la soirée à la maison. Je vis avec ma compagne, qui aime elle aussi énormément les animaux, ce qui signifie qu'il y a presque toujours une présence attentionnée à la maison. Notre horaire est idéal pour les animaux qui ont l'habitude de passer quelques heures seuls le matin en toute tranquillité. Dès mon retour l'après-midi, je me consacre entièrement à eux pour leurs promenades, leurs jeux et toute l'attention dont ils ont besoin. Disponibilité pour les promenades, garderie de jour et visites à domicile : • Du lundi au vendredi : de 15h00 à 22h00 • Samedi et dimanche : de 11h00 à 15h00. En: Today in Canada, I am fully dedicated to caring for pets. In the morning, I attend school, and then I spend the rest of the afternoon and evening at home. I live with my partner, who also loves animals very much, which means there is almost always an attentive presence at home. Our schedule is ideal for pets that are used to spending a few quiet hours alone in the morning. As soon as I return in the afternoon, I devote myself entirely to them for their walks, playtime, and all the attention they need. Availability for walks, daycare and drop-in visits: • Monday to Friday: 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM • Saturday and Sunday: 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Fr: J'offre un environnement familial, sécuritaire et rempli d'affection, que ce soit chez moi ou directement chez vous. Je m'adapte toujours aux besoins particuliers de votre animal et à ses routines d'exercice, de repas et de repos. Pour votre tranquillité d'esprit, j'envoie régulièrement des nouvelles accompagnées de photos et de vidéos lors de chaque visite ou promenade. De plus, comme je me déplace à vélo ou à pied dans mon quartier (Notre-Dame-de-Grâce et les environs), je garantis une excellente ponctualité à chaque rendez-vous. En: I offer a family-friendly, safe, and loving environment, whether at my home or directly at yours. I always adapt to your pet's specific needs and their exercise, feeding, and rest routines. For your peace of mind, I send regular updates with photos and videos during every visit or walk. Additionally, since I get around by bike or on foot in my neighborhood (Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and the surrounding areas), I guarantee excellent punctuality for every appointment.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, from playful younger dogs who need plenty of activity to seniors who prefer a slower pace. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic care, and giving dogs plenty of attention and company. I take time to learn each dog’s normal routine, personality, and any instructions from their owner so their care feels familiar and comfortable. I’m patient, reliable, and happy to send regular photo updates while you’re away. My schedule is currently very open and flexible, so I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to give your cat attention, company, and care. I’m available throughout the week for boarding and drop-in visits, and I can often accommodate different feeding schedules, longer visits, or last-minute requests. I’m happy to keep your cat’s routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away. I have a spacious, tidy two-bedroom apartment where I can provide a calm and comfortable environment for visiting cats. I keep my home clean and make sure potentially unsafe areas are secure. My balcony stays closed and visiting cats will never have unsupervised balcony access. I also give cats plenty of time and space to settle in and adjust at their own pace rather than forcing interaction.
About: Ce qui me distingue, c'est mon instinct du terrain et ma capacité à rester calme face à l'énergie. Ayant grandi avec des Braques (Allemand et Weimar), je sais exactement ce que signifie gérer un chien athlétique qui a besoin de se dépenser sans s'éparpiller. Je suis sportive et je ne me laisse pas impressionner par les grands gabarits ou les chiens qui tirent. Je sais canaliser leur fougue par la dépense physique, tout en maintenant une structure rassurante. Je ne stresse pas. Que ce soit pour un chiot qui fait une bêtise ou un chat qui a besoin de tranquillité, j'apporte une présence posée. Mon organisation me permet de suivre scrupuleusement vos routines (heures de repas, médicaments, habitudes de balade). Je suis actuellement étudiante et travaille à temps partiel à l'université. Je suis donc disponible assez souvent dans la semaine et aussi le week-end au besoin. Mon approche est simple : je m'adapte au rythme de votre foyer pour que votre animal ne ressente aucun stress en votre absence. Dès mon arrivée, je prends le temps de saluer votre compagnon avec calme (sans l'envahir). Je vérifie immédiatement l'eau, l'état de la litière ou du jardin, et je m'assure que tout est sécurisé dans la maison. Je suis très organisée. Les dosages de nourriture, les horaires de médicaments ou les petites habitudes (le doudou spécifique, la lumière allumée...) sont suivis à la lettre.
“Absolutely amazing. She was so amazing with my puppy and super communicative! Received updates every morning afternoon and night along with images and videos. I felt so reassured and calm leaving my puppy with her after seeing how amazing she was with him and with all the updates I received. STRONGLY recommend! I will be using her again!”
“It gives me such peace of mind knowing that Kristy is taking care of my cat, Lily. She is very responsive and communicative, and I know my car is in excellent hands with her. Thank you so much Kristy!”
About: Raised with pets, I helped train a puppy as a teen. I have trusted experience sitting for family and friends, and will treat yours like family!

I provide reliable care in your home, maintaining your pet’s routine, evening walks, and playtime. Your home stays secure, and your pet stays happy !
“If you're nervous about leaving your dog with someone new, stop searching, book Léa! This was my first time using Rover, and Léa put me at ease from the meet and greet onward. She took care of Luna and my home exactly how we asked, and probably better! She sent personalized updates and photos throughout, and is caring, witty, and clearly loyal to the dogs she watches. We hit the jackpot!!”
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: Not only I dog sit 4 dogs at same time, I take care of my two baby cats in daily life too( sometimes I hangout with my friend’s dog) .

I always make sure to take as many pix/videos as I can to send them to the owners, and keep them updated for their fur babies
“Junya did an excellent job taking care of my 3 year old border collie, while I was on vacation. She spent 11 days dog and house sitting. I came back home with my dog happy and healthy. As well as with my house being well maintained and respected. Thank you so much!!”
“Jingyi was absolutely fabulous! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Her communication was amazing, and she sent me lots of photos and videos while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I had very limited internet access during my trip, but she still made every effort to keep me updated, and I really appreciated coming back to all of her messages, photos, and videos. She took wonderful care of my cat and also left my home incredibly clean and tidy. It was clear that she was attentive, caring, and respectful of both my pet and my home. I felt completely comfortable having Jingyi look after everything while I was away and would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have had a dog since I remember myself! I grew up around dogs, including 2 Chihuahuas, 1 Greek shepherd dog, 1 Labrador, 1 Golden Retriever and three rescue dogs. I am super comfortable with all dogs, I understand that every dog has its own unique personality and I am ready to take care of your dog with love and affection! I am available to come to your house and sit and take care of your dog while you are busy or at work and I also offer dog walking services for the days you are too tired or don't have enough time on your hands! I am responsible, easy to work with and the ultimate dog lover! -I speak English, French and Greek!- I'm currently taking a break from my job which gives me plenty of time to spend on taking care of your dog and making sure it has whatever it needs! :) Coming from a family that has always had dogs around (my mum currently has 3 at home!), I love caring for your dog the same way I would care for my own dog... With attention, affection and attend to each dog's needs :)
“Hiba was amazing with our 1 year old dog Lucy and our adult cat Nina! She was very attentive and made sure to get and follow all the relevant info for both pets. She was very sweet yet very professional. She knew how to handle our dog and it showed she had experience with puppies in the past. Would not hesitate to call her again to sit for our pets :-) Thanks again Hiba!”
“Juliette a été une très bonne gardienne pour Molly. Molly semblait très heureuse à mon retour et en pleine forme. Juliette a également laissé ma maison très propre, ce que j’ai beaucoup apprécié. Elle répondait rapidement chaque fois que je lui écrivais et les nouvelles qu’elle me donnait étaient toujours rassurantes. Elle a aussi eu la gentillesse de rentrer mes colis pendant mon absence, dont un meuble assez lourd, ce que j’ai beaucoup apprécié. Merci beaucoup Juliette d’avoir pris soin de ma petite Molly ! 😊”
About: I have paid experience dog sitting and cat sitting, as well as caring for pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving pets plenty of attention. I’m patient, responsible, and take each pet’s personality and usual routine seriously. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my day. i love having the company. I'm available every day for pet care. I live in an apartment complex, where it is easy to keep pets supervised and prevents accidental escapes. I take dogs outside on leash several times a day, including trips to a nearby park, or more often as needed. I’m cautious around unfamiliar dogs and prefer to prioritize safety. I also introduce any house guests carefully and gradually to help keep pets comfortable and reduce stress.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westmount
Eli was so wonderful! I cannot thank her enough for looking after our girls, Tally and Ahmita. They adored her! We were so relieved to see how at ease they felt and how much love they were receiving ! Eli was very kind and sent us pictures and updates every other day , which really put our minds at ease. I am certain our cats miss her !!! She stayed in our home for 3 weeks, and cared not only for our cats but also our plants and left our home spotless. She is also genuinely a really kind and down to earth person, and we connected well from the very beginning! We travel frequently and I will definitely book pet sitting with Eli again whenever we are away !!!
We are so grateful to have found Sara! She cared for our senior cat at the last minute when we had a family emergency. We received cute photos often! She was diligent about her feeding schedule and we came back to a calm and relaxed kitty- as a bonus our home was spotless and she had washed the sheets and towels:) Thank you Sara!
Pamela was wonderful with Molly! This was our first time booking with her, and I was very happy with the experience. Molly clearly had a great time and when I came home, she seemed happy and well cared for. Pamela was kind, attentive, and made the whole process easy and comfortable. I would definitely recommend her to other dog parents and would happily book with her again! 🐾❤️
Olivia was an amazing dog sitter and bonded instantly with Freya! Olivia was very accommodating and caring giving Freya lots of attention and walks while dog sitting at our home. I arrived home to a very happy and relaxed dog, and a neat and tidy house. I will definitely be booking Olivia again! Thank you, Olivia, for taking such great care of Freya!
I cannot recommend her enough! As a first-time dog owner using a sitter, I was naturally a bit nervous, but she completely put my mind at ease. She provided regular updates and adorable pictures of Mia throughout the stay, and it was so clear from the photos that Mia was happy, relaxed, and extremely well taken care of. She was also completely respectful of my home, leaving everything just as she found it. If you are looking for someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring, she is the absolute best. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Denis was absolutely wonderful with Paddington during his 4-day stay at our home! He kindly accepted our booking at the last minute during a complicated situation while we were abroad. I was quite stressed about everything, and Denis was incredibly kind, understanding, and reassuring throughout the whole stay. Paddington is only 5 months old and can be quite a handful, but Denis was incredibly patient, attentive, and caring with him. He followed all our instructions carefully and kept us updated regularly. He was also very respectful of our home and left the apartment super clean. We couldn’t have asked for better! We’re really grateful for everything. Denis is someone you can trust with your pet and your home with your eyes closed. We would absolutely recommend him and happily have him look after Paddington again !
We had a great experience with Matan and felt very comfortable leaving Mella and Winnie in his care. Both of our girls are quite shy, and Matan was very patient and intentional with them from the beginning, giving them the space to approach him on their own rather than forcing interaction. It was clear that he has a lot of experience with dogs and understands their different personalities and boundaries. He sent us frequent updates throughout our vacation, which really helped us relax knowing our girls were happy and well taken care of. Communication with him was always straightforward and easy. When we came home, both dogs seemed happy and well, and our apartment was left clean and tidy. We’d happily have Matan take care of Mella and Winnie again!
Chayse is an excellent sitter. Our dog immediately felt comfortable with her and she took amazing care of our pup while we were gone, not to mention our house as well. Chayse is communicative and respectful and we are grateful to have her caring for our girl. Thank you Chayse!!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Westmount maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Westmount walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
