About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for several years and currently share my home with two German Shorthaired Pointers, ages 7 and 4. Caring for high-energy dogs has given me extensive experience with daily walks, exercise, feeding routines, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and recognizing each dog’s unique personality and needs. I understand that every pet thrives on consistency, so I take the time to follow your routine and provide the same level of care and attention they’re used to at home. Whether it’s a walk to burn off energy, a drop-in visit for meals and companionship, or staying in your home while you’re away, I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. As a full-time Health & Safety professional, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and understand the importance of following instructions carefully. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, so I’m currently available for weekend dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. On weekends, your pet will have my full attention, whether they need exercise, companionship, or care while you’re away. I’ll always communicate clearly, provide updates and photos, and follow your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, especially while their family is away. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special routines that help your pet feel comfortable. During drop-in visits and walks, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and bathroom breaks. I’ll also provide lots of affection (if they enjoy it!) and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll always treat your home with respect and care for your pets as if they were my own—making their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities.
“Cindy is fantastic! From the moment I met her I could tell how much she cares about animals. My puppy loved her, and it was so nice knowing Cindy had everything handled when I was gone. She’s professional, friendly, and great with pets. I’ll be booking her again!”
“We contacted Joseph last minute for a sit during a wedding and the pups were cared for beyond our expectations. They were taken on many adventures during our time away from the cottage and had so much fun exploring. The dogs were so positively happy when we returned, where normally they may have been anxious. What an amazing first experience with rover! We will be contacting Joseph each summer that we are back on the island! We are beyond thrilled!!”
About: Hi! My name is Victoria. I am a clean, quiet, and responsible Finance Professional & Professional House/Pet Sitter looking for house/pet sitting opportunities. With my strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and high level of responsibility, I offer peace of mind while caring for your home and pets. Having had many cats and dogs, I have spent all of my life around animals! Currently I am a tiny home dweller who does not have any pets but I have a deep connection with my fur niece, often having my sister’s mini pincher chihuahua over for sleepovers. I have done extensive house & pet sitting over recent years, tending to various cats, dogs, goats, and chickens. I have a strong understanding of how much joy an owner’s pet brings to their life, and I want you to know your animals are in excellent hands when they are in my care. Please reach out to discuss rates and availability—I’d love to support you! Love, Victoria I currently work part-time in a remote position, which allows me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. This means I can offer consistent attention, timely feedings, regular walks, playtime, and companionship to the pets in my care. Since I'm home-based, I'm able to adapt easily to each animal’s unique routine and needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I care for pets in the homes of clients by providing attentive, compassionate care, maintaining their routines, and ensuring their comfort and well-being in a familiar environment.

The average cost for House Sitting in Montague on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Montague 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 Montague 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 Montague 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
