“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was incredibly attentive to my dog, and even the people at our dog park went out of their way to tell me how nice she was. It was clear my dog was in great hands, and I came home to a happy, healthy dog and my home looking exactly as I’d left it. Having that kind of peace of mind while away is invaluable, and I would absolutely trust her to watch him again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and respectful caregiver!”
“Abby was great during our 9 day vacation. We were worried leaving them with someone else for the first time but she sent videos and pictures, and even gave them a bath! The Pups were sad to see her leave so I know they had a great time too. We will definitely use her again. Thanks Abby!”
About: I treat every pet as if they’re my own—with love, patience, and genuine care. What truly sets me apart is my reliability and responsibility. You can count on me to show up on time, follow your instructions carefully, and keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m incredibly loving and attentive, always making sure your pets feel secure while you’re away. I also believe communication is key—I’ll keep you updated with detailed messages, photos, and check-ins so you never have to wonder how things are going. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I meet them with calm, compassionate care tailored to their needs. My husband and I are both retired and just moved back to Leland, NC. We both have completely open availability to accommodate any needs or schedule. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. My schnauzer especially loves to play and is always excited to make a new friend! My husband is also at home—he’s a true animal lover (and a bit of a dog whisperer). Our pups are our kids, and we treat all animals like family. They’re welcome on the furniture, in the bed, and anywhere else that makes them feel safe, loved, and comfortable.
“Wow, I can’t say enough about Kristen!! She has been by far our dogs favorite sitter and our family’s too. In a regular situation she is loving and diligent with the dogs and takes care of their needs. She spoils both our older dog and the little one, gives special attention and medicine as needed. When we were out of town our are experienced a very serious forest fire and evacuations were put in place. Fortunately, our neighborhood did not have to evacuate, however, Kristen took every precaution just in case our area is going to require an evacuation, including staying with our dogs and not leaving the house in case she needed to load them in her car. She packed up medicine, food, treats, collars, and leashes to make certain they were prepared and offered to get any belongings we needed. She also had our emergency contact in case she had to call someone else. She went above and beyond in this situation, and I highly recommend her services! She also kept in contact with us via text and phone calls and lots and lots of cute pictures of the pups. Really really appreciated her this weekend!”
“We loved Kelsey. She was always available to answer all our questions, and very flexible when changes came up. House looked better upon return than when we left. Highly recommend.”

I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping up with your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m comfortable providing walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and lots of attention. I know how important communication is, so I’ll make sure you feel updated and reassured while your pet is in my care. I’d love to be someone you can count on when you need dependable pet care.

I’m mindful of things like secure leashing, safe walking routes, and keeping doors and gates closed at all times. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Milena was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs! She responded to my request for a dog sitter immediately and was friendly, flexible and professional. My dogs are pretty high energy and nervous around new people, but they quickly warmed up to Milena. I knew my pups were in great hands with her and it made my weekend away that much more relaxing. She updated me regularly with how they were doing and sent great photos. I would highly recommend her and can’t wait to have her back!”

About: I’ve watched pets since I was 13. I love walking, sitting, and playing will all kinds of animals. I value animal care and consider pet sitting/walking my number one priority when I am with them I’m home in Ohio during breaks and Wilmington NC during the school year and I am free most days and especially weekends.

About: BACK IN LELAND FOR THANKSGIVING & CHRISTMAS - accepting bookings!! I have been dog sitting for 15 years now. I have done overnight stays for various families and also just dog walking on weekdays. I have a dog of my own and am always up for caring for other pups! I have experience giving medicine to dogs as well. I am currently working from home full time and am home most weekdays/weekends. I’d love to watch your pup in my home or just take them for a walk around your neighborhood! I can fit pet care in anytime because I am working from home. I am home all day so I can also be constantly giving your pet the attention they deserve! I live in an apartment so your pup will be taken on walks - we also have a dog park attached to our building . I will follow any instructions you’d like me to on how you want me to care for your pet while at my house!
“Meagan was the best dog sitter I’ve ever had - seriously. Usually my dog gets sad when I’m gone and refuses to go for walks. But from Meagan’s pictures and updates, my dog seemed in great spirits the whole week. Not to mention, she treated my home with such care. Highly recommend Meagan & will certainly be hiring her again in the future :)”
“Ross took excellent care of all my babies! I felt so safe with him in charge of them. He took them on walks and even won over the heart of shy little Izzy! Maybe senior dog loved him too. I’d recommend him to anyone and will certainly use him again!”
“Nat was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter for our dog, Luna. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable knowing Luna was in caring and capable hands. Nat was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She kept us updated and made sure Luna was happy, well-exercised, and well cared for while we were away. We came home to a relaxed and content pup, which says everything. We would highly recommend Nat to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter and will definitely use her again.”
About: I have 9 years of experience taking care of dogs, I enjoy that they are happy, I try to give them love, care and protection Currently I can offer this service from 8 am-2pm and at night (depending on what can be agreed) on weekdays, on weekends my schedule is usually longer so I will be able to adapt to the schedule you need. I hope that any change can be notified in time so that our communication is always ideal I know that walks are a special moment for dogs therefore they will always be the leaders, I do not rush them, I allow their sense of smell to be free (with caution), play with them either inside or outside the house and continue supporting if the dog is in training. If your pet is a little crazy, don't worry, I'll be patient so that your pet is happy and safe
“Jenna was great with my Rue girl. She even gave her a bath and trimmed her grinch toes😊 The house was neat and tidy and pets& plants were happy, fed and watered. Will definitely hire Jenna the next time I need to be away for a few nights.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Montague
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 770 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Montague. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Montague 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 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!
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!
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.
