“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! :)”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for longer than I can remember! Working at the Canine Club brought me great experience with caring for over 30 dogs at once, which included feed time, play time, and care. I worked overnights to insure the safety for each and every dog. Caring for animals brings me a new perspective on life, it feels me with so much joy and love! At the moment I work nights on the weekends and I’m not in school currently so I’m free for any of your pet friendly needs! I insure your animals get the loving and care they need while you’re away. I make sure they get to the walks they deserve and every ounce of my attention.
“So beyond grateful for the love and care Hailey showed our two cats AND our home! Before her stay, she took the time to ask all the necessary questions and met with us face-to-face to answer ours. While we were away, she was communicative and responsive, sending daily pics and providing updates on how the cats were doing. Part of what drew me to Hailey was that in her profile, she mentioned being familiar with various cat personalities. My two are ultra-shy and afraid of everyone. Hailey respected their space while remaining present with their needs. From the second you meet her, it’s clear she’s compassionate, kind, and a lover of animals. Exactly the kind of person you want looking after your pet! Would confidently recommend Hailey for pet care and house-sitting needs. I hope to hire her again in the future!) Humans and cats agree: Hailey gets five stars and five paws up. 💕”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, hamsters, and birds since I was very young. Growing up with pets taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have regularly looked after dogs and cats for family members and family friends. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands. As a student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, regular check-ins while you’re away, or overnight companionship, I strive to provide reliable and consistent care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I make every effort to maintain their normal routine and keep their environment calm and familiar. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household rules. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I treat both your pets and your home with the utmost respect while providing attentive, loving care.
“Adeline was absolutely wonderful with my two cats, Jack and Vera. Their routine is not simple, especially since Vera needs extra care to avoid stress that can trigger seizures. Adeline followed every detail perfectly and handled Vera’s medication with such skill and calmness that I never had to worry. She managed pilling Vera, something that can be stressful , but handled it with total ease and confidence. Her communication stood out to me the most. She kept me updated, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It’s rare to find someone so attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring. I would trust Adeline with my cats anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter who goes above and beyond.”
“Viktoria was great! Our dog has separation anxiety, and being away from me is hard for him. Viktoria was patient and very understanding. Overall, really trustworthy experience, especially as it was our first time doing an in-home stay. Thanks again!”
“Anna was amazing with our fur baby. She took great care of Rocky while we were away for a week. She sent updates with pictures, was great at communicating and left our place impeccable. 10/10 would recommend and will book again.”
“Sarah is an INCREDIBLE person to take care of your furry friend! She gave me detailed updates, was so thoughtful in her interactions, and gained the trust of my shy cat in no time! She has so much love for animals and I’m grateful my cat had her while I was gone.”
“Catherine a été une gardienne fantastique pour mon vieux pitou de 11 ans, Henry. Elle m’a rassurée, donné des nouvelles chaque jour, en plus de m’envoyer de nombreuses photos de mon meilleur ami 💚 Franchement, je n’aurais pu rêver d’une gardienne plus attentionnée et flexible. Si je pouvais donner plus que 5 étoiles, je le ferais. (Henry fait dire qu’il est très heureux d’avoir passé du temps en compagnie de Catherine et qu’il aimerait beaucoup qu’elle le garde à nouveau!🐶)”
“Ilya watched our one year old husky rescue, Raclette, for three days at our apartment while we were out of town and did a fantastic job. They were patient and kind with Raclette who can be a bit of a handful and great at following our routine and care instructions. We were reassured by the frequent updates and pics and Raclette seemed to really bond easily with Ilya. Ilya also left our place nice and clean. Would definitely hire Ilya again!”
“Madeleine and Fred took to each other immediately, making me feel incredibly at ease with leaving them together for a couple of hours! Madeleine's bubbly, animated, and friendly personality is particularly endearing, and her can-do attitude makes me confident in knowing that Fred is being left in good/capable hands! Would 10/10 rebook!”
“We have 3 cats at home with different diet needs and Denis took great care of them. He sends photos and updates a couple of times a day, and also helped me taking care of my many plants. I definitely recommend his service and would book with him again!”
“Morgan was a really great dogsitting companion for Sandune (big dog!). She reliably followed the plan, sent regular updates with photos and videos and was very communicative and agreeable. I felt totally reassured and happy.”
About: Growing up, I have been around different pets. Have had Goats, Parrots, and a Rabbit as my playful buddies. My family has always relied on me to take care of the pets we have had in the past. I'm working from home for the past one year and definitely have a lot of time where I can be attentive to pets even between the working hours. I live in an apartment which is on 3rd floor of a building. Closed and safe doors and windows with big enough space for the pets to roam around and be their playful themselves. :)
The median cost per night for house sitting in Westmount is $50

I'm a repeating client for Denis' house sitting service. He took good care of all of our 3 kitties, feed them multiple times a day as instructed, and provides daily updates. His daily updates are regular and detailed, makes you feel at ease to know what's going on at home when you are away. He helped watering my plants too and took in delivered parcels. Highly recommended!
This was the third time I booked Matan to stay with my cat. As before, I found him to be consistent and reliable. He quickly established a good relationship with Jelly, who always seems content and relaxed when I return home. Also, my apartment looked great and nearly spotless when I got back. I highly recommend this cat Matan!
Heather was such a wonderful sitter for my cat Ivy. She took excellent care of her, made sure she got plenty of time outside on her leash, and kept me updated throughout the stay with lots of photos. I couldn’t recommend Heather enough—I’ve already rebooked her for an upcoming trip and know I will be completely at ease leaving Ivy in good hands.
Amelie did an excellent job with taking care of our kitty and house. She communicates clearly and sent photos and updates regularly without prompting. Overall, great experience and I recommend her highly to others. She has a special way with cats too, so I know our cat was very pleased to have her there.
Viktoriia is a caring, trustworthy soul. She had an instant calming connection with our aussie-golden who felt at ease right away. She took care of our house and dog for 2+ weeks, fantastic communicator, followed our care plan, and my dog was calmer than ever upon my return.
Lara was an exceptional sitter! While I was away, she sent me photos every day of Socks happily curled up on her lap, and it was clear he felt safe, loved, and completely at ease with her. Lara stayed at my home for three weeks, and when I returned, everything was spotless. She had even changed the bed sheets and taken wonderful care of both my home and my cat. She is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I recommend her without hesitation! Lara a été une gardienne exceptionnelle ! Pendant tout mon séjour à l'extérieur, elle m'a envoyé des photos chaque jour où l'on voyait Socks bien installé sur ses genoux, tout blotti contre elle. C'était évident qu'il était heureux, en confiance et entouré d'affection. Lara est restée chez moi pendant trois semaines, et à mon retour, la maison était impeccable. Elle avait même changé les draps et pris grand soin de tout. C'est une personne douce, attentionnée et qui aime sincèrement les animaux. Je la recommande sans la moindre hésitation !
I can't recommend Kristy enough! From our very first meeting, I knew Smokey would be in wonderful hands. Leaving your pet behind is never easy, but Kristy made the entire experience completely stress-free. She took exceptional care of my 16-year-old cat, Smokey, and treated him with so much patience, kindness, and love. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which meant the world to me while I was away. It was so reassuring to see how comfortable and happy he was with her. When I came home, Smokey was calm, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Kristy also left everything spotless and went above and beyond in every way. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, caring, professional, and truly loves animals, Kristy is the one. I would book her again without hesitation and recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter. Thank you so much, Kristy, for taking such incredible care of my sweet Smokey. You gave me complete peace of mind, and I am so grateful!
Lorenço is the sitter you're looking for! He's been caring for my energetic 4-month-old terrier several days a week and has consistently been reliable, patient and understanding (especially during the ongoing puppy biting phase!) He adapts to Watson's needs and treats him like his own. I always know Watson is in great hands while I'm at work. I trust Lorenço completely and highly recommend him. 15/10!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westmount on Rover is $53.94 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
Tip: 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, identity 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 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
