“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!”
About: *This profile is for both Marilyn & her partner Anthony* ***We are bilingual French/English. Vous pouvez aussi nous écrire en français!*** Mari has adopted 2 kittens in her adult life, and her oldest recently passed away at almost 18 years young, which Anthony had the chance to also take care of for several years. Mari was blessed with also being able to share the life of a sweet elderly French bulldog for several years, Anthony’s beloved companion for 12 years. Anthony has experience fostering 3 dogs (large mixed breeds). Over the years, we have also taken care of our friends/neighbours' cats and dogs when they were away for a few days. It would be our honour to be involved in taking care and loving your small pets while you are away for work/vacation, and make sure that it is a stress free time for all, as we know from having had several petsitters over the years the importance of finding one that is trustworthy to be in your home and to attend to the needs of your furry kids. We come with some "special" expertise (thanks to our previous lovely companions giving us lived experience, and the extensive readings we have done on those topics) regarding dog training, behavior management, CDK, cardiac disease, IBD, picky eating, post-surgery care, UTIs, pancreatitis, food allergies, arthritis, senior care. We can administer oral medications, including piling or syringing, subcutaneous fluids, transdermal (ear) medications, eye drops, nose sprays, and prepare meals according to your specific instructions, as we know that you know your pet best. We love cuddling with lap cats and dogs, going on walks in the neighborhood, and playing with pets. Looking forward to getting to know you and your little(s) one(s)! Mari works from home, so she can come and visit your pets up to 3 times per day. She has limited availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but might still be able to do 1-2 visits on those days. Anthony has classes in the morning Monday-Friday. We do not offer care in our home due to our building policies. However, we are happy to come to your home to look after your pets, in the environment they are the most comfortable in.
“Chiara was amazing with Marty. She taught him a new trick in few hours, how amazing is that! She was extremely accommodating of our schedule and maintained constant communication. I would highly recommend her!!”
“We had Léa stay with our dog for a second time and we are SO happy to have her as a go-to sitter. Our dog had an upset stomach 😬 and Léa was wonderful about updating us, taking her out more often including in the night, and cooked some white rice for her to eat. Léa is responsible and kind - so happy to have her in my home and caring for my dog!”
“Naomi is fantastic! She watched Cosmo and Neumos back-to-back while we were on vacation in Montreal. Cosmo has megaesophagus and requires controlled play and feeding in a Bailey chair, and Naomi handled it flawlessly. If you need a caring, responsible, and experienced pet sitter, look no further than Naomi. Highly recommended!”
“Morgan was great! She was quick to respond whenever we messaged her and she provided detailed reports of how our dog was doing at the end of everyday, complete with videos and pictures. Our dog liked her right away (and he doesn’t like everyone). I would highly recommend Morgan. Thanks to her we had peace of mind while we were away!”
“Yiran was super reliable and kept us apprised everyday with updates and pics over a two-week trip. She left our home cleaner than when she arrived. And my dog was so sad to not have her around anymore. If you want someone responsible who will look after your fur baby as your own, look no further!”
“Adeline. Was able to come sit my elderly special needs pup with short notice. She was kind, caring and asked several questions during our meet and greet which showed she really cares about animal wellbeing. She communicated with me frequently throughout her stay at my place. Highly recommend”
“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!🐶)”
“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 !”
“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!”
“Sarah was a godsend for me and my cat. She's well versed in cat behavior, and my shy cat came out of her shell and relaxed in Sarah's company. I was able to relax on my holiday knowing my cat is in good company. Sarah sent regular updates, took care of all of my cats needs and also went the extra mile to take care of my home in my absence. I would highly recommend Sarah, her energy is complimentary to cats' energies and she's a gentle and loving caregiver to cats. Would definitely rebook.”
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.
“Kristy was an absolute delight to connect with. She is reliable and communicative, and she made me feel right at ease with leaving my elderly kitty in her care. I would absolutely recommend her as a cat and house sitter!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and attentive dog sitter who grew up around dogs, had a family Jack Russell–Shih Tzu cross, and have fostered and cared for dogs on several occasions. My partner and I both work from home with very flexible schedules, so we’re able to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. We also live near the canal and a large park, and a small off-leash area, with lots of opportunities for walks and outdoor time. I’ve cared for a variety of breeds, including Goldendoodles, Corgis, a Belgian Malinois puppy, and a Standard Schnauzer, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. My goal is to help every dog feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your dog and provide them with a safe, happy home away from home. My partner and I work from home with very flexible schedules, so your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of attention, walks, and care throughout the day. Flexible drop-off and pick-up times are available whenever possible. Available on weekdays and weekends. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, smoke-free home and follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away.
About: I am a 27 year old born and raised in Newfoundland Canada. I have always been passionate about all animals. I grew up with dogs and am happiest when around animals. I have taken care of 4 dogs at a time and it brings me so much joy. I moved to Montreal in August and I was unable to take my dogs with me as they are my family dogs. I am looking to fill the void by taking care of other dogs and walking them I am a model so I don’t have a set schedule so I have a lot of flexibility throughout my week to walk dogs, take them into my home or house sit. Any dog is welcome in my home and I will provide them with affection and ensure they are comfortable and happy here. I love dogs more than I like people. They are my source of joy
“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!!”
About: Over the past 7 months, I got the opportunity to do +14 housesits all over the beautiful city of Montreal, taking care of cats and dogs (and a lizzard and a rat). I truly enjoy getting to know all the different and unique characters. 🐾 Some couldn't wait to go for walks - others loved a little encouragement to keep going. From tiny dogs to a 55kg/120lb good boy. The youngest dog just turned 1 year, the oldest 15, the oldest cat 21 years old. 🥹 I am also amazed by the variety of beauty of all the different cats I got to know. Through this variety of pets, I also gained experience in giving cats and dogs supplements and medication (oral and in-ear). On my past travels I also helped a family in Pakistan with their cows and goats, and a family in Wadi Rum, Jordan, to feed their camels. It was such a beautiful experience - though I wouldn't say I am ready to care of them all by myself. 😄🐐🐪 I also took care of some puppies and kittens in the past. I am aware that this is a (rewarding) full time job. So I could only agree on that after having talked about the situation in detail. I am currently attending Language School, the classes are 1-4pm in downtown. Apart from that I work only, which gives me a lot of freedom in regards to time. I love to take longer walks, and it's even more fun with some furry companion. I also enjoy playing with cats and dogs - it's so much fun to know their unique characters. One thing is for sure: There is no cat or dog like another. I would love to take care of your pet in its known environment, which is why I offer housesits at the owner's place. I also enjoy exploring new neighborhoods. :)
The median cost per night for house sitting in Westmount is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westmount
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! 🐾❤️
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!
Chiara was so wonderful with my * challenging * chihuahua. She sent daily updates and even went with the flow of house sitting (hot water went down). After a long day of travel I came home to fresh sheets on my bed. She was awesome and I will definitely be rebooking.
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!!
Isabela was a wonderful sitter! She was easy to communicate with, punctual, and incredibly flexible, especially as I had to change the timing a few times. It was clear from the moment she met my elderly cat that she would be caring and affectionate with him—she was immediately so sweet with him. She left my home tidy and also provided a detailed update on how my cat was doing throughout the week I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. I would recommend Isabela without hesitation and would happily have her sit for my cat again! Isabela a été une merveilleuse gardienne ! La communication avec elle était très facile, elle était ponctuelle et très flexible, notamment parce que j’ai dû modifier les horaires à quelques reprises. Dès qu’elle a rencontré mon chat âgé, il était évident qu’elle serait douce et affectueuse avec lui — elle a tout de suite été adorable avec lui. Elle a laissé ma maison bien rangée et m’a également donné des nouvelles détaillées de l’état de mon chat pendant toute la semaine où j’étais absente, ce qui m’a beaucoup rassurée. Je recommande Isabela sans aucune hésitation et je serais ravie de lui confier à nouveau la garde de mon chat !
Lindsay était excellente. Elle s'est occuper de notre chat durant nos vacances. Elle lui a donné ces injections (fluide sous-cutané), jouer avec lui et même lui offrir tout le comfort nécéssaire durant notre absence. Elle nous a laissé le condo propre, draps lavé et même dequoi manger dans notre frigo à notre retour. Nous ne pouvons pas demander mieux pour avoir l'esprit tranquile. Nous allons assurément la rebooker lors de nos prochains voyages ! Je recommande fortement Lindsay :)
Maire took excellent care of my babies while I was away on vacation! She left my husband and I wonderful photos that ensured us she was engaged and proactive in their care, and gave us great affirmation that she was truly invested in their happiness. I felt beyond affirmed that she was the right person to care for our animals; it was evident even through pictures that they felt safe and comfortable with her ❤️
Sarah was a godsend for me and my cat. She's well versed in cat behavior, and my shy cat came out of her shell and relaxed in Sarah's company. I was able to relax on my holiday knowing my cat is in good company. Sarah sent regular updates, took care of all of my cats needs and also went the extra mile to take care of my home in my absence. I would highly recommend Sarah, her energy is complimentary to cats' energies and she's a gentle and loving caregiver to cats. Would definitely rebook.
Gray est vraiment la personne qu'on cherchait depuis longtemps avec un sens de l'attention et une délicatesse envers les besoins de Pixel et par le fait même, de toute la famille! Pixel est un vieux chien, avec une belle énergie mais des restrictions tant sur la nourriture que dans son quotidien avec de la médication : ce n'est donc pas le chien le plus facile à garder. Pixel a vécu sa vie comme si nous étions là et les photos envoyées matin et soir pendant notre absence nous ont apporté beaucoup de bonheur et de paix: Pixel était entre bonnes mains! De plus, la maison était exactement dans le même état que lors de notre départ et Gray a même pris soin de laver les draps pour que nous ayons un lit tout frais à notre arrivée! WOW... MERCI Gray pour ton travail exceptionnel et au plaisir!
Jingy was absolutely wonderful! This was my second time having her stay, and it definitely won’t be the last. She has become my new go-to sitter! She left my place incredibly clean — honestly, I think it was even cleaner than when I left it! 😂 Her communication is excellent, and I always felt confident knowing everything was being taken care of. Most importantly, she treats Miss Arwen wonderfully. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about her and makes sure she’s happy and comfortable. I highly recommend Jingy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, respectful, communicative sitter who is wonderful with pets. I’m so happy to have found her!
Miao was absolutely amazing with Oreo, Moka and Jordan! She was incredibly accommodating, kept us updated with lots of pictures, took great care of all three pets, and left our home spotless. Oreo did great on his walks with her and all three of them looked happy and comfortable throughout the stay. She even stayed later when our return was delayed and was so kind about it. We would absolutely trust Miao with them again and are so happy to have found her! ❤️
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Westmount
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westmount on Rover is $54.64 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,117 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Westmount. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
