Pet sitting in Montreal

Pet sitting that fits how Montreal actually lives

Montreal pet care looks different depending on which side of the mountain you live on. In the Plateau-Mont-Royal, Mile End, and Rosemont, most owners are in walk-up triplexes and duplexes with no concierge, so sitters need clear handover instructions and a key plan before the first visit. In Griffintown, Old Montreal, and downtown, the towers come with fobs, lobby codes, and elevator access that a sitter has to be briefed on. Filtering by your own neighborhood, from Verdun and NDG to Outremont and Hochelaga, keeps the back-and-forth short and the dog on its usual streets.

Winter is the real planner here. From December through March the sidewalks turn to salt and ice, and many owners cut full walks down to shorter loops plus extra drop-in visits to keep a dog comfortable below freezing. A sitter who already knows Montreal winter routines, paws wiped after road salt, less time on glazed sidewalks, is worth filtering for.

With Petme you pay 0% in owner service fees, earn up to 5% cashback into your in-app balance, and every booking carries up to CAD 20,000 in vet protection at any licensed Canadian clinic. Many Montreal sitters are bilingual, so you can message in French or English and they will reply in kind.

How does the cashback work for Montreal bookings?

Can I find a weekend dog walker in Plateau-Mont-Royal?
Yes. Montreal sitters list weekend availability on their profiles. Filter by your dates and you only see sitters who are free on those days. Many Plateau-Mont-Royal sitters also do daily drop-ins for owners commuting downtown.
Can sitters access my Montreal condo?
Yes. Most Montreal owners arrange a building visitor pass or concierge handoff during the meet and greet. Share the sitter’s Petme profile and ID with your concierge ahead of time.
How do Montreal sitters handle winter dog walks?
Experienced Montreal sitters use pet-safe ice melt zones, paw balm for salt and ice, and shorter loops when temperatures drop. Discuss your dog’s cold tolerance at the meet and greet.
Are there French-speaking sitters in Montreal?
Yes. Many Montreal sitters are bilingual. The Petme app supports French; web pages on /ca/ are currently English-only.
how do i hand a montreal sitter the keys if my building has no concierge?
In Plateau-Mont-Royal, Mile End, and Rosemont most homes are walk-up triplexes and duplexes with no concierge, so plan the key handover and entry steps with your sitter at the meet and greet. In Griffintown, Old Montreal, and downtown towers, brief the sitter on fobs, lobby codes, and elevator access, and arrange a visitor pass with your concierge ahead of the first visit.
which services work best for my dog in a montreal winter?
In a Montreal winter, many owners shift a dog from full walks to shorter loops plus extra drop-in visits from December through March, when salted, icy sidewalks make long outings hard below freezing. Boarding and daycare stay useful for travel. Discuss your dog's cold tolerance with the sitter and agree on paw care after road salt.
do i pay quebec sales tax when i book a montreal sitter?
Sales tax is a sitter-side matter, not an owner add-on at checkout on Petme. Sitters who pass CAD 30,000 in annual sitting revenue may register and remit, and the combined rate in Quebec is 14.975%. You always see the final amount in CAD before you confirm, with 0% owner service fee on top.
