“Rebekah was really great - took care of our house, the dog (who totally loves her) as well as the chickens. She was responsive and communicative, but also easy going and flexible. Highly recommend!!”
“Rihana is literally the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Our dog Indy clearly loved her and was spoiled while we were gone. She took her on multiple walks and played with her outside and sent tons of pictures. She also left our house cleaner than when we left. Would 100% recommend to anyone. Thank you Rihana! 😊”
“Rainie is a tremendous dog-sitter. She was extremely good at communicating with us. She really wanted to understand how to best care for our dog and she followed through. I would recommend her highly!”
“James is an awesome dog and house sitter! He took the dogs on great walks and sent us some adorable pictures while we were away. We came home to two happy, calm pups and a clean, orderly house. Highly recommend!”
“Cyan is an incredible dog sitter. She immediately won the heart of our little pup, and was so loving with him. Cyan is a great communicator and is amazingly intuitive about the needs of pets and humans alike!”
“Armani is such a wonderful dog sitter! She is so thoughtful and kind in caring for our dog, Edna. We can tell she and Edna have developed a close both after several repeat sittings! We are so grateful that our dog is so well taken care of and loved while we are away. We loved the daily video and photo updates, and we know Edna loved the special attention and extra long walks! We cannot thank Armani enough for her time with and care for Edna. Armani is also such a considerate houseguest, even offering to get our mail and water our plants while we were away. We so appreciate her time and help while we were away. I highly recommend Armani as an outstanding house and dog sitter!”
About: I grew up in a household that always had at least one pet; everything from turtles, birds, hamsters, to 2 cats and 4 dogs. I've always loved animals and would love to meet your pet too! Since I live in an apartment that doesn't allow for pets, I'm hoping meeting and caring for your pets will bring me the same joy I have when I'm at home! I took care of two elderly dogs for the last two years - one who required full time attention including administering medicine. My schedule is super flexible! I work mostly in the evenings and am free on the weekends. My roommate is also a dog lover and would be more than happy to have a furry friend stay with us. I currently rent a small apartment with a friend, but we are just a few blocks from a dog park! The space is a bit small, but I have had dogs stay with me in the past with no issue!
“Meagan did a wonderful job with our dog. Both our dog and Meagan seemed to really enjoy each other’s company. Meagan kept our home clean and even had to clean an accident our dog created! I would certainly use her again if the need arises.”
“We would absolutely recommend Nicole! She dog-sat in our house for our two large dogs while we were away, and it was seamless. She is very attentive to the particular needs and personalities of each dog, and the dogs bonded with her right away. She was also very easy to communicate with both during the days leading up to our trip and when we were away. All in all, we could not have been more pleased with everything!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and have done house sitting for 4 years. I love doing this kind of stuff. I can walk them, go for walks all that fun stuff. Im doing babysitting right now but can house sit whenever and can be with the dogs/cats whenever. I am always free to take them out whenever needed. I will watch pets in your home and or/ stay in your home for house sitting overnight. I will keep them safe and follow any rules.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 159 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Montcalm. 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 Montcalm 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 Montcalm 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 Montcalm 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Montcalm. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 80% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
