“Vlad took excellent care of our zoo. We have 2 Havanese dogs, an adult cat and a 6 month old kitten with a complex diet. He sent us photos every day and when we returned the animals were clearly attached to him. Very responsible and professional. We will be his repeat clients.”
“I appreciate the work that Michael does. He has been very helpful outside the line of duty. He always goes above and beyond what is expected of him. I felt comfortable having Michael house/ pet sit. I have already booked my next vacation and Michael has agreed to sit for us again. He has made an important part of my life better. I am grateful. Sara”

“Christi pupsat our dog Moo for two nights while we were in Sedona for a wedding. She was super communicative, responded quickly, and was super flexible with our changing plans. Most importantly she took great care of our baby and we were able to feel at ease! Christi clearly loves animals and our dog instantly bonded with her. Thank you so much Christi!”
About: A luxury stay for your pets, accompanied by 2 energetic, loving Corgis. Not only will your pets receive a lot of attention, they will also make two new friends. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I provide reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. I offer daily walks and live just two minutes from Bell Rock, which is one of my favorite spots to take dogs for safe, stimulating, and scenic adventures. Whether it’s trail walks, feedings, playtime, or simply comforting company, I treat every pet like my own. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on making your furry family member feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around my visits and walks to make sure each pet gets the attention and time they deserve. Whether it’s early morning feedings, afternoon walks, or evening check ins, I’m consistent, flexible, and always show up ready to give your pet the best care possible. Being around animals is the best part of my day. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as consistent and stress free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or playtime. I also keep your home tidy and make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved in their familiar environment. Communication is key, so I always send regular updates, photos, and check ins to give you peace of mind.
“Hands down the best sitter for your pets. All of our pets loved Zack and they were extremely well taken care of. He provides update photos and check-ins, and takes very good care of the house as well.☺️”
About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life, beginning with a family pack of German Shepherd siblings (see photo). Over the years, I've worked with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, temperaments and personalities—including seniors, sensitive animals, pets with anxiety or special needs, and some less-typical companions. My approach is attentive and individualized. I respect the routines and training you've established while tuning in to your animal's behavior, body language and energy—learning what helps them feel safe, understood and genuinely cared for while you're away. If I do my job right, within the first few hours they're settling back into their normal beat. And when you come home, they may be delightfully underwhelmed by your return! Animal communication is a core interest in my life and work, and I'm currently completing additional training in small-animal massage and bodywork. I also offer energy work. These aren't requirements for good pet sitting, of course, but they inform my dedication to an animal's comfort and care. I'm primarily between Sedona, AZ and Southern Maine. I travel for select longer-term destination sits. My flexible schedule allows me to spend meaningful time at home with the animals—getting to know them and loving them up—rather than constantly coming and going. At heart, I'm an animal advocate. Everything I do is rooted in creating greater safety, trust and understanding between animals and the people who love them. I believe they deserve partners and allies who are present, aware, accepting and loving. I'm happy to provide references from private clients and would love to connect to see if we're a good fit. My schedule is flexible. I generally work at “home” so am able to spend a lot of time with your pet, letting them know that you’ve made sure they are taken care of after the suitcases are out the door. If we're newly connecting, I like to start with a call or video chat and then a home visit, to make sure we are a good fit. And chat about your pet's needs, preferences and schedule.
“Lauren was absolutely fantastic with Achilles and Roxy! She was on time, communicated perfectly, very nice and attentive. The dogs loved her at first sight. I highly recommend Lauren and will definitely have her watch my pups again.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Lake Montezuma is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $30 per night. 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.

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.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans 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 Lake Montezuma walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lake Montezuma 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!
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 Lake Montezuma 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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
