“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. 💕”
“Lynne was amazing with Bailey, and she provided multiple updates every day, which I appreciated. I could tell by the photos and videos that Bailey was going on adventures, meeting people, and being well loved and well taken care of. Lynne was very communicative and flexible, and I would absolutely recommend her and will happily leave Bailey in her care in the future!!”
“As always, Anna took amazing care of our two tabby brothers, Castor and Pollux. Anna stays with them while we are away, so we trust her 100% with our babies as well as our home. Your pets and home are in excellent hands with Anna!”
“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.”
“Adeline was a dream to work with, from start to finish. She arrived on time, was a clear and timely communicator, and - most importantly - took incredible care of our playful senior dog, Ollie! He has a complicated food protocol and needs medication for arthritis, which she handled like a pro. She sent pictures, videos, and updates each day so we know how he was doing. She took great care of our home too. We would absolutely book her again!”
About: I’ve had pets at home my entire life, and it’s been a privilege having my best friends grow up with me. I have 14 years of experience in routine dog care (my own and clients’) from puppies to elder dogs weighing 3kg-75kg. I’m comfortable with overnight sitting, drop-in medication administration, walking various sizes, following owner-outlined instructions, and managing multi-dog/pet households. My cat care experience of 2 years includes drop-in feeding, play, and checking water levels for 3 cats. — I speak English/Je parle Français/Hablo Español I’m a newer Montréal resident and currently working part-time, so I have a flexible weekday/weekend schedule to make your pet(s) my priority for both shorter visits and longer stays! At a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so that pets feel safe and comfortable while their owner’s away. I follow instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific medications or dietary needs, if required. While making sure your fur family gets plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment, I’ll also be keeping your home safe during sittings.
“Catherine was very attentive with our old boy Blitz. We booked her very last minute for a long weekend and we received many update photos and Blitz didn't want her to go!”
“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!”
About: Cats have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I owned my own cat for years, which gave me a deep understanding of feline behavior, needs, and quirks. Over the years, I have cat-sat for friends and family on dozens of occasions — visiting their homes to feed, play with, and keep their cats company while they were traveling. I always treat every cat as if it were my own. One of my most meaningful experiences was helping nurse a litter of premature kittens that needed to be bottle-fed every three hours around the clock. It required patience, dedication, and a lot of love — but seeing them grow into healthy cats made it all worthwhile. I also have experience rescuing stray and injured kittens from the street and nursing them back to health before finding them safe homes. I create my profile specifically to care for other people's cats because, although I adore them, I am unable to have one at home right now. This means your cat gets all of my attention and affection — without any distractions. You can trust that your furry family member will be in caring, experienced, and loving hands. I am flexible and can adapt to your cat's routine. Whether you need daily visits, drop-ins while you're on a trip, or regular check-ins, I'm happy to work around your schedule. I am available on weekdays and weekends, mornings and evenings. Since I'm not bringing your cat home (I visit at your place), there is no disruption to their familiar environment — which cats especially appreciate! Your cat's safety and comfort are my top priority. I always visit cats in their own home so they stay in a familiar, stress-free environment. I follow feeding instructions precisely, keep litter boxes clean, and make sure your cat has fresh water at all times. I'm experienced with shy and nervous cats as well as playful and social ones — I know how to read feline body language and give each cat the space or attention they need. I have hands-on experience with delicate situations including nursing premature kittens and caring for injured rescues, so I am calm and prepared if anything unexpected comes up.
“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!”
“Ilya took amazing care of our home and our 2 cats Loki and Nyx. They stayed with our cats for 5 nights and gave us regular updates/pictures. I would highly recommend Ilya!”

“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!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life, family, friends and had three growing up. I am used to being around rambunctious dogs of all kinds including puppies and seniors. Looking forward to meeting your fur buddies! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available nights, weekends and holidays. I will not be travelling this summer so I have ample time to look after your pets. I have two cats who I look after as if they were my children. I love and care for them in a calm and warm environment.
“Irmak was a wonderful petsitter and housesitter! She was wonderful with our little dog Olive. She stayed in regular communication with us, which really set our minds at ease while we were away. She provided the best care and we're so happy to have found her! Thanks again!”
“I am so grateful I have found Natasha to take care of my baby. All I can say is wow, she is the best. Very communicative, sending photos and I can tell my dog was so happy with her. Thank you Nati 🙏🏻🫶🏻”

Lynne was amazing with Bailey, and she provided multiple updates every day, which I appreciated. I could tell by the photos and videos that Bailey was going on adventures, meeting people, and being well loved and well taken care of. Lynne was very communicative and flexible, and I would absolutely recommend her and will happily leave Bailey in her care in the future!!
Angela looked after Cosmo and Neumos for the first part of our vacation. Despite her young age, she showed incredible maturity—she was polite, proactive, and always kept us in the loop with regular updates. She had no prior experience with a megaesophagus condition, but she stepped up to the challenge and managed his routine flawlessly. We highly recommend her!
We are so happy to have come across Madeleine’s profile. She took such good care of our dog Toby while we were away, allowing us to feel reassured and truly enjoy our vacation. We came back to a calm, happy dog and a clean home 😊 would highly recommend Maddie to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
It only took a brief meeting with Bee to determine that she is a responsible, experienced pet owner whom I could trust to handle any issue that might come up with my elderly cat while i was gone, on top of being generous giving my old girl lots of love and attention. At one point, i actually got a twinge of jealously seeing how well Bee and Luna were getting along! I'd hire Bee again for sure! All the stars!
I highly recommend him as a pet sitter! He stayed with our dog and two cats for 3 days and took excellent care of them. Our dog has separation anxiety, so we were nervous about leaving him, but he quickly made him feel comfortable and well cared for. He kept us updated throughout the stay, gave all of our pets plenty of attention and love, and made us feel at ease while we were away. We’re very grateful for the care he provided and would happily recommend him to others.
Scott was very kind and patient with Molly. She seemed comfortable with him right away and enjoyed spending time with him. He communicated throughout the booking and was understanding and flexible. I appreciated his calm demeanor and his positive attitude with Molly.

FAQs for House Sitting - Westmount
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westmount on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,139 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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% 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.
