“Brenda did a FANTASTIC job helping us out at our Ranch while we travelled for the Christmas Holiday! She managed our two Great Pyrenees's and chickens with walks, meals, and playtime :) She also checked on our property to make sure everything was in order. We felt safe. and secure with her help while we were gone ! :)”
“Jess was amazing. From the meet and greet to the four days she cared for our dog and two cats everything went smoothly. Jess is a great communicator and took good care of our animals. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a licensed professional counselor. I have one golden, Charlie. I’ve had many dogs over the years so my experience is varied. I take Charlie on daily runs and am fit and ready to give your dog some exercise!! I currently work in Montrose Monday-Friday during the day with weekends off. I am happy to talk more specific schedule questions individually if need be 🙂 I make sure they are comfy and cozy!! I have a child and a dog, so our home is always child/dog proofed! I take directions and care seriously, so I’ll only agree if I’m able to carry out the mission!
“Summer is an absolute pro. Entrusting your home and your crew to someone else can be stressful, but she made it look easy. Daisy and Hades were clearly in great hands. If you want a sitter who actually gives a damn and keeps things running smooth while you're away, Summer is the one. 10/10, will definitely be booking again.”
About: I have several years of experience caring for cats and dogs. I'm comfortable with daily routines such as feeding, playtime, basic care, and monitoring behavior. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of following routines closely and making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Weekdays (Montrose): • Mornings: 6:00–7:30 AM • Midday (lunch): 12:00–1:00 PM • Evenings: After 5:15 PM Weekends (Delta): • Flexible availability for drop-ins and walks Your pet's safety is my top priority. I carefully follow care instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and stay aware of any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy. I take a calm, attentive approach and make sure pets are safe and comfortable before I leave.
About: I’m a 6’4” 200lbs+ man so I’m great with all sizes of dogs including huge. I’m a jogger so if your dogs like to run also we’ll be a great match. I love all animals and I’ve had many pets over the years. I’ve had everything from hamsters to fish tanks. Cats, dogs, bunnies, snakes and even goats. I’m experienced with old dogs and puppies and am happy to walk or take care of either. I currently am working part time at my own discretion so I have an open schedule basically. It changes week to week but it’s flexible and I would be available any point in the day on week days and on weekends. I live in a very quit rural neighborhood with amazing beach and woods walks. I don’t have any pets personally at the moment and I don’t a fenced yard. I was originally thinking I would just walk dogs and do drop in visits but if you’re in a bind I can dog sit here. My aunt visits me regularly and she always brings her dog here. They both absolutely love here too. It’s safe and beautiful here but ideally I would rather not board dogs here.
“Hayley was wonderful watching Luna for 3 days! She was very reliable and sent helpful updates on her eating, playing, and outside time. The photo updates were great, and it made me laugh that Luna’s 'tortitude' didn’t fade until Hayley broke out the Churus! So grateful I found Hayley and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
“Stacy always does an excellent job with Lacy. She even got Lacy to wear her backpack vest, which I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to get her to wear for over a year. I'll have to figure out what bribe she uses. Thanks Stacy!”
About: I have over a year of experience working at a dog daycare, caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also have three dogs and two cats of my own, so I understand the love and responsibility that come with pet care. I'll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention, playtime, walks, and care they deserve. I always follow your pet's routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I'll provide plenty of love, playtime, walks, and updates while keeping your home clean and secure.
“Andi was great! She was sensitive to our dogs needs, and did exactly what we wanted her to do. I will definitely ask her to come by again when NFR dog is alone at the house. Thank you, Andi!”
“This was our first time using Rover, we were a little nervous but we are so happy with how it went. Aubrey is very sweet, fun and playful with our doggies! I have no doubt that they miss playing with her now that we’re back. She was also really great about communicating with me while she was with our dogs!”

About: I've taken care of 4 dogs and 1 cat for their natural lives. Friends, relatives and neighbors ask me often to pet sit, as they know I am very loving and reliable.

I will follow any rules the clients suggest. I can give medications as needed, and train dogs also.
About: I grew up with pets and my mom had a petsitting business we operated out of our home. I helped with that and also worked at a doggy daycare. I'm currently self-employed part-time and can't think of a better way to spend my time than with your fur family while you're away. Available every day of the week and can stay in your home or just stop by a couple times per day! When house/pet sitting, I make sure your pets are played with, snuggled, and fed according to your pet's routine. The important thing I want is to make sure they are safe and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. And I will clean up after myself before the client returns home.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 60 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hotchkiss. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hotchkiss stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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.
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.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
