“From the very start, Sara was absolutely amazing. She took such wonderful care of Tazzy, assisting him with his meals and ensuring he felt secure at all times. I highly recommend her services.”
“They took excellent care of our cat. I was particularly impressed with how much effort they made to help him get over his usual standoffishness with people he doesn't know well. Everything was done perfectly.”
“J’ai confié mon chat Yummy à cette gardienne pendant mes 6 semaines de vacances, avec des visites du lundi au jeudi, et je suis vraiment très satisfaite. Elle est toujours ponctuelle et prend un excellent soin de Yummy. Dès les premières visites, elle a compris sa personnalité et ses besoins. Elle a tout de suite remarqué que Yummy adore surtout les câlins et l’attention, bien plus que les jeux, et elle s’est parfaitement adaptée à elle. Elle prend aussi le temps de vérifier que tout va bien dans la maison, notamment s’il y a du vomi ou tout autre signe qui pourrait indiquer un problème de santé. Elle surveille son humeur, son comportement et son état général avec beaucoup d’attention. Chaque jour, je recevais des nouvelles accompagnées de nombreuses photos, ce qui était très rassurant. Yummy semblait vraiment apprécier sa compagnie, et ça se voyait qu’elle était à l’aise avec elle. Grâce à son sérieux et à sa bienveillance, j’ai pu profiter pleinement de mon voyage l’esprit tranquille. Elle est également très flexible : lorsque mes amis ne pouvaient pas passer le week-end, j’ai pu ajouter des visites sans problème. Je la recommande sans hésitation à toute personne qui cherche quelqu’un de fiable, attentionné et passionné pour s’occuper de son animal.”
About: I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, energy level, and routine so they feel secure and understood. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or calm and cuddly, I adjust to their needs and make sure they get the right balance of exercise, affection, and companionship Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I make sure to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for so they receive consistent attention, walks, and playtime without feeling rushed. I care for pets the way I’d want someone to care for my own. I follow their normal routine, make sure they’re fed on time, get their walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. In your home, I respect your space and keep things clean while making sure your pet feels comfortable and relaxed. In my home, I create a safe, calm space where they can play, rest, and feel at home. Most importantly, I give them patience, affection, and genuine care
“Iván has watched my cat Beethoven twice now and always takes great care of him! He has great communication and I can trust that my cat is in good hands. I would definitely recommend him!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with a dog and have also owned two cats, so I’m very familiar with the different needs and personalities of both cats and dogs. Over the years, I’ve helped friends care for their pets on numerous occasions. My cat-sitting experience includes long-term stays of over six months and over a month, as well as several shorter stays. I’ve also looked after dogs for two friends, including walking, feeding, and overnight stays. All of this was originally done as a favor for friends, simply because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own! I work on a hybrid schedule with plenty of flexibility throughout the week, including two full days working from home. My weekends are generally relaxed, so I have lots of time to spend with your furry companions! I genuinely enjoy having animals around and would love to make pet care a part of my daily routine. Your cat will receive plenty of attention, affection, and playtime while staying with me! I live in a spacious, three-storey home of approximately 2,600 sqft,offering plenty of room for cats to explore, play, and relax. I also have a 15 year old senior cat who is incredibly gentle, friendly, and sociable. He has always gotten along peacefully with both cats and dogs and has never shown any aggression toward other animals. Despite his age, he still loves playing and interacting with other cats! I understand that every cat has its own personality and comfort level, so I’ll make sure any introductions are gradual and supervised. There’s plenty of space for visiting cats to have their own quiet area if they prefer some alone time. My priority is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home where your cat can feel relaxed and well cared for while you’re away.
“Qingxin was awesome !! my cats are old with medical issues and require specific individual feeding instructions/care (a prescription specialized diet for one). She followed all of my instructions very carefully. She was super kind, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Big bonus : she sent a lot of adorable pictures/videos of my cats so I didn’t miss them too much !”
“Une expérience parfaite du début à la fin ! Ils ont pris un soin exceptionnel de mon chat, Camille et Kevin ont été très attentionnés et ont respecté toutes mes consignes. Mon chat les a clairement adoptés et semblait heureuse de chacune de leurs visites. Je suis vraiment reconnaissante et je vous les recommande.”
“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!!”
About: Hi! I have many years of experience with dogs, cats and birds. Dogs: I have had two dogs in my childhood - a boxer and an Italian greyhound. I am comfortable with any size of dog and acclimated with different temperaments and energy levels. I have experience feeding, walking, playing with, grooming (brushing teeth, clipping nails, brushing), and bathing dogs. I have also administered chemo pills to a friend’s dog (golden retriever) over the course of two years. Cats: I have had 2 cats over the course of the last 8 years. I treat my animals with the highest form of care: brushing teeth daily, grooming weekly, litter box twice a day, yearly vet check-ups, and 10-15 minutes of active play a day. I have watched over friends’ dogs and cats many times and put in the same level of care every time. My passion for animals has stayed with me for life and I am eager to meet and take care of your pet! I am currently a PhD student and therefore have a lot of time and flexibility for walks and daytime visits. I am an early riser, so I am comfortable coming before 9am. I am comfortable with many forms of care for both cats and dogs. Walking, bathing, grooming (nails, fur, teeth), enrichment, feeding, and cleaning the litter box.
“Iryna was absolutely wonderful with my cats. She sent daily updates and photos. She was flexible and accommodating from the start. It was clear she genuinely cared about the cats and about keeping my apartment secure while I was gone. What really got me was how quickly they warmed up to her! My cats sometimes hide from people they’ve known for years, but they were eating well and so happy and relaxed when I got home. Iryna went above and beyond and I’m so grateful for how well she took care of them. Would absolutely book again!”
About: Love caring for animals, experienced with senior, shy and spicy cats too! I can walk your dog and I can house sit when you’re away! Available on hourly or daily basis including weekends/overnight stay. I am a graduate student and I can provide care after 4 pm or before 9 am. I can feed, walk or play with your dog/cat. I can also do light grooming, cleaning their food bowls and clean the litter. I first let them get used to me.
“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!”
About: I currently take care of three cats on the regular. I have lots of experience and have owned multiple pets, including cats and dogs. I work from home, which means your pets will get lots of attention and lots of head scratches, cats, as well as animals in general tend to come to me easily and happily. Working from home I give them attention all day. I generally have cats sleeping on me while I’m at work. I play with them during the day and during my shift sometimes depending how busy I am teaching. I generally feed them in the morning when I wake up from my workout and give them more food in the evening. I live in an apartment and I am a remote worker, so I’m at home all the time. My apartment is safe and I regularly take care of cats. I clean my apartment regularly and always check my pets to make sure that they’re always completely healthy. I live in an apartment so its safe.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and volunteered at an animal shelter, caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments with patience and care. I work 100% remotely, which allows me to be flexible and fully present for the dogs and cats I care for throughout the day. I’m available weekdays and weekends, and can easily adapt. I prioritize pets’ safety and comfort. Whether at my home or yours, I follow routines, keep a clean, calm, and secure environment, and provide gentle, attentive care with regular updates.
About: I have many years of experience dealing with dogs & puppies - having had a couple of them myself. I treat dogs with love and care, always tailoring to each individual pup. I also have experience in dealing with reactive dogs and physical issues (tri-pods). I love spending time with dogs and making them feel happy and taken care of :) Just starting out on this journey - have always wanted to do this as I love spending time and playing with dogs … what better time to do this than now! I work full time but only in office Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday - I also live right next to my office so able to go home at lunch or at any time during the day! Other than that, home all the time! Lots of playing and cuddles! I live in a quiet neighbourhood, close to dog parks and green areas/parks. I can tailor to you and your dogs needs - whether your dog needs to be in a crate or not, special needs or requests, anything to make you and your furry friend comfortable!

“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: Whether it’s giving extra TLC to senior pets, playing with energetic puppies or kittens, or following routines for more independent furry friends, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and completely at ease. I take the time to get to know each pet and understand their unique personality, so I can offer care that truly suits them. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and more—and I know how important it is to go at their pace, offering patience and love to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’m happy to follow any special instructions to meet their needs, and I’ll take as much time as needed, whether it's playtime, cuddles, or quiet moments.

I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate ample time to your furry friend.

For drop-in visits, I prioritize safety by ensuring your pet's environment is secure and free from any hazards, such as exposed electrical cords, dangerous foods, or toxic plants. I will provide fresh water, feed your pet according to your instructions, and make sure they are comfortable and safe. As a nurse by training, I’m very observant and will monitor your pet’s health and comfort throughout the visit. If they show signs of fatigue, discomfort, or distress, I’ll take the necessary steps to make them feel better. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have to meet your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priority. For walks, I'll make sure to stay on designated paths, avoiding hazards like traffic or aggressive animals.

Omg Chloe was amazing! I’m so grateful she accepted such a last minute booking and was so responsive and professional. My little benson has separation anxiety and doesn’t usually adjust to new people so easily but clearly Chloe has a calm and warm presence that she couldn’t resist. Chloe had no problem getting her to play and administering her medication. Will definitely book again!!!!
Came through for us and Tigger (our 14.5 year old senior Beagle who at this point needs a human around when we have to leave the house) on short notice. Tigger seemed to get along very well with Mason, and you could tell Mason has plenty of experience with senior dogs. We will definitely be booking Mason again in the future!
I had a wonderful experience with Isra! She took Oreo for a full one-hour walk and then spent another half hour at home keeping him and my two cats company. She was very kind, caring, and helpful throughout the entire visit. She kept me updated and sent me pictures, which gave me great peace of mind knowing my fur babies were in good hands. Isra is reliable, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. I truly appreciate her care and attention, and I will definitely be booking her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Westmount is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,847 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Westmount. About 84% of Westmount sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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.
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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

- 92% 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.
