We highly recommend this service

Amazing service! We left our two cats in the care of Angel Cody for 2 weeks, and the communication was impeccable and made us feel like our cats were in good hands. The litter, water and food bowls were cleaned every day and pictures were always sent daily to give us reassurance. The process was easy and efficient. We highly recommend this service to anyone needing a pet sitter!

I will be back when I need a cat sitter again

I needed a cat sitter for a week over Christmas so I booked with Les Anges. They were excellent! I left a list of instructions in the online portal, and received a message each day of the booking (adorably from my cat’s perspective 😄) detailing the work done, including photos. Everything was done perfectly. I could not have been happier with the service, and I will be back when I need a cat sitter again in the future. Thank you, Les Anges Gardiennes!

2. Walkies & Whiskers

Website:https://walkiesandwhiskers.ca/

Service Area: Montreal

Contact: 438-340-5972 | [email protected] 

Hours: Saturday-Sunday 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM | Monday-Friday 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM

Community-driven care makes a huge difference for anxious pets. Founder Charlotte leads Walkies & Whiskers, a local women-owned and queer-owned business with that personal focus.

Their team is certified in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and pet first aid, offering bonded and insured visits across many Montreal neighbourhoods. 

When we spoke directly with a client who uses them for a diabetic cat, she mentioned how seamlessly they handle daily insulin injections. She also appreciated their flexible morning, evening, and last-minute booking options. 

On the downside, you must pay for services upfront rather than after care is finished. 

You’re also required to handle all bookings through their Pet Pocketbook mobile app instead of calling directly. 

Customer Reviews

I’ve tried other companies, but this is by far the best of them all

They are so great! They took such great care of my cats when I was away! Honestly, the best prices in the whole city, I’ve tried other companies but this is by far the best of them all! Great team, excellent customer service and always quick to reply! Definitely would recommend Walkies and Whiskers for all pet needs! They are the best!!

They offer incredibly professional services

Charlotte and her team have started taking care of my dog for walks and occasional overnight stays, and I truly couldn’t ask for better care. They offer incredibly professional services, and you can immediately see how much they genuinely love what they do. My dog is very reactive and can be challenging at times, but they handle her with so much patience, care, and confidence. I trust them completely with my dog, which says a lot. I’m so grateful to have found them and would absolutely recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care.

3. Montreal Dog Club

Website:http://montrealdog.club/

Address: 950 R. Notre Dame O

Contact: [email protected] 

Hours: Available 24/7

When you choose Montreal Dog Club, 100% of your payment goes directly to the pet sitter without the company taking a cut. 

Their background-checked sitters deliver private, one-on-one care tailored to your dog’s daily routine, completely avoiding kennels or group environments. 

They can easily accommodate dogs with behavioural challenges, mobility issues, and strict medication schedules. You’ll also receive multiple daily updates with photos and videos, so you always know your pup is thriving. 

If you want to pamper your furry friend, pairing their private sitting with a mobile dog grooming service is a great strategy. 

Just note that this service focuses strictly on dogs, so cat owners will need to look elsewhere.

Customer Reviews

Got lots of photos and videos throughout the weekend

Highly recommend! Needed an urgent, last-minute dog boarding because my regular sitter cancelled. Thanks to our new sitter Amy’s flexibility we were quickly able to do a meet & greet and the long weekend stay at her place. Got lots of photos and videos throughout the weekend and my dog was very happy. Great first-time experience.

They got frequent walks and much affection

Very very happy with Griffintown Dog Boarding. I received daily updates about Quincy and Chyna while I was out of town for about a week. They were well cared for and happy to be with Rohit. They got frequent walks and much affection.  Everything I could ask for in a dog sitter. Will definitely call Rohit on my next trip. 💕💕

4. Allo Ronrons, gardiennage de chats à Montréal

Website:https://www.alloronrons.ca/

Address: 8383 Boyer St.

Contact: [email protected] 

Hours: Monday-Sunday 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM

Feline companions often prefer staying in their own environment, and Allo Ronrons lets you customise visit lengths with 30-minute, 1-hour, or 2-hour cuddle sessions. 

Our colleague personally tried their longer visit option for a shy cat, and she said that the sitter was patient enough to let her pet approach on her own timeline. 

Their sitters also receive detailed notes on temperament before arriving to ensure anxious cats stay comfortable. They can even administer oral medications, insulin, and subcutaneous fluid injections during visits. 

However, you should prepare for extra charges if you request last-minute visits within 72 hours, early morning slots, or key collection travel. 

And since they specialise exclusively in cats, dog owners cannot use their service.

Customer Reviews

Amazing and professional communication

We left our cat with Bérénice for 8 days and we would definitely do so again. Amazing and professional communication before and during the stay. She sent us photos, videos and updates every few days. And our cat loved it too… he didn’t want to leave! Thank you!

• Mike P | Google Review

We felt completely reassured knowing Iris was in excellent hands

This was our first time leaving our cat at home with a cat sitter, and Bérénice did a wonderful job! She was consistently polite and professional in all our interactions, and kept us updated with adorable messages, photos, and videos throughout the week. Our shy little pandemic kitty warmed up to her in no time and we felt completely reassured knowing Iris was in excellent hands. 🙂

5. Walks & Wags

Website:https://walksandwagsmtl.com/

Address: 7236 rue Waverly, #228 Montreal

Contact: 514-290-9416

Hours: Monday-Friday 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Bringing 15 years of pet care experience to local households, Walks & Wags delivers reliable assistance for busy pet parents. Their team stays active seven days a week, 365 days a year, so your pets receive constant support. 

During cat sitting visits, sitters follow detailed dietary routines, give medication, and tackle helpful chores like bringing in mail, adjusting blinds, and watering houseplants. 

That double benefit of pet care and basic house sitting offers great value when travelling. 

However, their in-home sitting options focus primarily on cats and small indoor pets rather than in-home dog sitting. 

You should also account for additional charges on weekend appointments, statutory holidays, and key drop-offs when calculating your total costs.

Customer Reviews

Really great to have a pet sitter we trust

Incredibly happy with the sitting services from Walks & Wags! My husband and I are new to Montreal and had never used a pet sitting service before. They took great care of our cat, and I really loved having the sheet to read when we came home with their notes from each visit 🙂 Really great to have a pet sitter we trust. Thank you Walks & Wags team!

Christina’s team were attentive and made sure he was happy and healthy

We booked Christina for last minute cat-sitting service due to our usual cat-sitters pulling out. Christina and her team were so responsive and professional the entire time we were away and took great care of our cat, we were so happy with their service. Our kitty needed a little extra TLC during our trip and Christina’s team were attentive and made sure he was happy and healthy. Highly recommend Walks & Wags, they live up to all of the positive reviews!
